Dragon-Marked War God

Yu Chenglong’s heart sank and his face turned extremely dark, because he felt an incredibly powerful killing intent pointed straight at him. A terrifying killing intent burst from Jiang Chen’s eyes, beyond words.

He never expected Jiang Chen to set his sights on him at this moment. That gaze pierced through every obstacle, through the sea of people, and bore straight down on him with frightening force. Although Jiang Chen hadn’t made any move, he still felt his heart tremble. No one could understand that feeling of despair. Yu Chenglong felt his heart leap into his throat.

“The Profound Connection Divine Palace is in danger.”

Lin Youkang sighed. He had thought Jiang Chen would continue his killing spree at this moment, but what Jiang Chen did was beyond everyone’s expectations. He didn’t lay a hand on the people of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Even those elders were not taken to task by Jiang Chen.

“Killing people doesn’t solve everything. My grudges with the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord have been settled, and they have nothing to do with you. Whenever this so-called Palace Lord of yours comes back, maybe he’ll come looking for me. But none of that has anything to do with you.”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said. Killing them would be meaningless. It would only add to his sins of slaughter.

The Great Elder, Lin Youkang and the others looked at one another, a bitter taste at the corners of their mouths. Jiang Chen didn’t even deign to make a move on them. If Jiang Chen did make a move on them again, they wouldn’t have any power to fight back. They had fully witnessed Jiang Chen’s abilities earlier, and they were simply not something they could contend with.

“Yu Chenglong, I really underestimated you.”

Jiang Chen looked at Yu Chenglong in the crowd and said. Everyone turned to look at Yu Chenglong, and Yu Chenglong’s heart sank even further to the bottom.

“What do you mean by that?”

Yu Chenglong’s heart was pounding like a drum, but he didn’t dare to look Jiang Chen in the eye. He didn’t know what Jiang Chen was really thinking, but that killing intent terrified him. Yu Chenglong had some suspicions in his heart. Could Jiang Chen know what he had done in secret? That shouldn’t be possible. Even if he was dissatisfied with him, it should only be a guess.

“Do you really not understand what I mean?”

Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.

“We can be considered old friends. Jiang Chen, you’re powerful, that’s true, but I, Yu Chenglong, am not someone who can be falsely accused by just anyone. If you have something to say, say it to my face. What kind of behavior is this? If you want to kill me, I have no way to fight back, but even if I have to die, I want to die with my heart at peace.”

Yu Chenglong stepped forward proudly and forced himself to look at Jiang Chen, but inside he was terrified. If Jiang Chen really acted like a reckless hothead and killed him on the spot, he would have no way out. He was gambling too, gambling that Jiang Chen wouldn’t make a move on him, gambling that Jiang Chen was only guessing.

“If it weren’t for Sister Ning’s sake, I would have killed you already.”

Jiang Chen said coldly.

“I took care of Sister Zhu for more than a hundred years. I was utterly devoted to Sister Zhu. Even though there was only you in her heart, when did I ever do her the slightest harm? I only guarded her silently. It’s a pity you don’t know that Sister Zhu doesn’t have long to live. If I could save her, I wouldn’t hesitate even if my bones were ground to powder. But where were you back then? Do you really think you’ve done right by Sister Zhu? For her I would go through fire and water, while you were off living a carefree life. What makes you deserve her selfless love? I refuse to accept it! I, Yu Chenglong, refuse to accept it!”

Yu Chenglong growled, pretending to be wronged. Jiang Chen remained unmoved and scoffed. But when he said that Sister Ning didn’t have long to live, Jiang Chen’s heart was still touched, because Sister Ning had said the same thing earlier. Jiang Chen had to take it seriously. She must have suffered tremendous damage for this to be the case.

Jiang Chen didn’t argue with Yu Chenglong, because some things only needed to be understood by himself. With a flick of his fingertip he could turn them to ash. Why should he care about what others thought?

“Search your own conscience. It’s enough to do what you should do. But as for this cultivation of yours, I’m afraid there’s no need for it to exist any longer.”

Jiang Chen said coldly.

“You… what are you going to do? Jiang Chen!”

Yu Chenglong’s heart sank and his expression changed. Was Jiang Chen really going to make a move on him?

“For Sister Ning’s sake, I’ll spare your life. But a person always has to take responsibility for the mistakes he has made.”

Jiang Chen said. He took a step forward and crossed the sky, heading straight for Yu Chenglong. Yu Chenglong’s face changed drastically and he quickly retreated, but compared to Jiang Chen, his speed was worlds apart. Yu Chenglong wanted to strike back, but Jiang Chen’s methods were far too ruthless. He didn’t give him the slightest chance to catch his breath. A single palm strike, swift as thunder, left Yu Chenglong completely unable to fight back.

“Too strong. Jiang Chen defeated Senior Brother Yu with a single move. That’s just too shocking.”

“It’s complete crushing in terms of strength. But he’s only a bit stronger than Senior Brother Yu. How can there be such a huge gap?”

“Don’t forget, the Half-step Divine Emperors were much stronger than Jiang Chen, yet in the end weren’t they still killed by Jiang Chen? Can this guy be judged by common sense?”

“That’s true. Jiang Chen only needing one move to deal with Yu Chenglong is indeed already giving him enough face. And Jiang Chen didn’t go for the kill against Senior Brother Yu.”

Jiang Chen’s strength was astounding, but everyone had already grown used to it. Jiang Chen had done far more shocking things than this. With a single hand, Jiang Chen crippled all of Yu Chenglong’s cultivation, turning him into a mortal in an instant. Yu Chenglong was completely stunned, his face pale and bloodless. That feeling of being reduced to a commoner in an instant was far more painful than being killed. Falling from heaven to hell, such a drop was truly worse than if Jiang Chen had simply killed him. A million years of cultivation had become nothing but an empty illusion. One moment ago he had been a commanding figure, outstanding among the disciples, and now he had become so fragile that he couldn’t withstand a single blow, without even the strength to truss a chicken. Who could bear that?

“No, this is impossible, impossible…”

Yu Chenglong murmured, his eyes full of despair, even becoming somewhat glazed. No one had expected that Yu Chenglong would actually go mad. Such a blow was indeed stunning. Some people felt pity, some people sighed. The once arrogant leader of the Outer Palace’s Three Dragons, the newly risen Eldest Senior Brother of the Inner Palace, had now become like this, a complete madman.

“He who does too much evil will meet his own doom. He brought all of this on himself!”

Gu Maolu said with a cold smile. He knew perfectly well everything Yu Chenglong had done. This guy was no easy customer. He himself had truly underestimated him before, and had almost been fooled by his appearance. He never expected him to be such a despicable person.

“Sigh, Brother Yu still couldn’t escape his doom in the end. Jiang Chen is no one to be trifled with. This time, Brother Yu was terribly wrong.”

Bai Ying sighed as well. Both of them understood perfectly well, seeing through it without saying it. That Yu Chenglong had his present strength and his present status could be considered the work of fate, but who could have imagined that the ending would be so miserable?

The power to grant life or take it away lay in a single thought. Jiang Chen was simply too strong!
