Dragon-Marked War God

Breaking free from the hands of four Half-step Divine Emperors was simply unthinkable. But Jiang Chen had done it. This unrivaled fellow, who had once made countless people sigh in regret, had in the end returned in triumph.

When Jiang Chen’s figure appeared in the void, everyone was deeply shaken. Jiang Chen returned in glory like an unrivaled War God. That power and dominance made them truly feel it: the unrivaled Jiang Chen was back.

“Little Chen!”

Yan Qingcheng couldn’t wait and rushed into Jiang Chen’s embrace, feeling his warm, solid chest. This real and tender feeling finally let Yan Qingcheng breathe a sigh of relief. Their prayers had come true after all.

Jiang Chen looked at Wu Ningzhu, and Wu Ningzhu gazed at Jiang Chen. The moment their eyes met gave Jiang Chen the feeling of having survived a catastrophe. In Wu Ningzhu’s eyes there was no blame and no resentment, only tolerance. She knew how hard it was for him, knew the pressure he was under, and knew even better why he had come back carrying endless longing.

“I want all of you to live well, together with me, to live well.”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and reached out to pull Wu Ningzhu into his arms as well. At that moment, his heart held only a faint contentment. There was no slaughter, no struggle for supremacy, no comparison and no harm, only the deep affection of people who had stood by each other through hardship.

The verses of the ancients are the hardest to forget, and longing is what one most pretends to disdain. Jiang Chen knew that his heart held neither joy nor sorrow, only their gentle faces.

A hundred years of melancholy, gone in a single moment. Whether in life or death, all he wanted was to hold her hand.

Xue Liang and Bing Yun looked at each other and smiled, the corners of their mouths full of blessings. Jiang Chen’s return was undoubtedly the best news of all. Although they didn’t know how Jiang Chen had broken through crisis after crisis and finally escaped, it must have been extremely perilous. Xue Liang’s admiration for Jiang Chen grew even greater. This guy always seemed so mysterious. Even under the siege of four Half-step Divine Emperors, he could stroll about leisurely and withdraw unscathed. Xue Liang admitted he couldn’t compare.

Apart from Jiang Chen, Xue Liang couldn’t think of anyone who could do it. It was simply unthinkable, yet Jiang Chen’s fortune had made it happen.

In Xue Liang’s heart, Jiang Chen had always been an expert standing on the highest peak, and he would always want to measure himself against Jiang Chen. Even if he fell short of Jiang Chen, he regarded Jiang Chen as his goal. Jiang Chen’s strength always exceeded his imagination. Whether in life or death, each of them shone in his own way. But if Jiang Chen really died, he seemed to lose his drive to climb higher. The two of them were like two people bound by fate, entangled until death. Xue Liang regarded Jiang Chen as a true friend who understood him, and he would definitely not let him leave so easily.

A man dies for the one who truly knows him. Although with Bing Yun around he had too many attachments and ties, if it really came down to life and death, Xue Liang would absolutely not back away.

“Jiang Chen… where’s Brother Thirteen… is he…”

Bai Yun looked at Jiang Chen with eyes full of hope. Her heart was full of conflict and struggle, yet she was still worried about Dragon Shisan. Jiang Chen had come back, but Dragon Shisan had disappeared from her sight. His strength wasn’t as great as Jiang Chen’s. Nothing could have happened to him, right?

Bai Yun’s eyes made Jiang Chen’s heart ache. This little girl had a natural closeness to Dragon Shisan, and her humble side made Jiang Chen feel even more saddened.

“Don’t worry. He’s not dead, and I won’t let him die. But his injuries are really far too severe. I’m afraid it will take a long time for him to recover.”

Jiang Chen said.

“Really?”

Bai Yun’s anxious heart was finally set completely at ease. As long as Dragon Shisan was alive, that was enough. So what if she had been wronged? So what if she had been cast aside by Dragon Shisan? As long as he was alive, as long as he was happy, she was content.

As long as you are well, the sky is clear.

“Could you hand him over to me? I promise he’ll definitely recover as soon as possible.”

Bai Yun said, seeming a little excited, looking at Jiang Chen eagerly.

Jiang Chen frowned. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Bai Yun, but her identity was truly strange. Not only could he not see through it, but the several times she had restored Dragon Shisan’s body had left him incomparably shocked. Even with his Myriad Qi Body, he didn’t dare to say he could be faster than her.

“All right.”

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, but seeing Bai Yun’s pleading eyes, he still couldn’t bear to refuse her. After all, she meant well, and if Dragon Shisan could recover as soon as possible, there would be every benefit and no harm for him.

With a wave of Jiang Chen’s hand, Dragon Shisan appeared before Bai Yun. Bai Yun wept with joy, but even more than that, her heart ached for Dragon Shisan. Her tears dripped one after another onto Dragon Shisan’s body. Dragon Shisan’s injuries were far, far too severe. At the very end, he had almost single-handedly withstood the attacks of three Half-step Divine Emperors. In order to buy time for Jiang Chen, in order to hold on until the very last step, he had exhausted nearly all of his strength. His essence, energy and spirit were all used up. All that was left was a single lingering breath. In an instant, his soul might scatter.

There were wounds so deep that bone could be seen, and bloodstains everywhere, mottled and glaring. While crying, Bai Yun used the origin Qi in her body to heal Dragon Shisan. Even Jiang Chen was incredibly shocked, because origin Qi was her own life essence. This was the same as her using her own vitality to extend Dragon Shisan’s life. No one could have imagined Bai Yun would be so resolute. Jiang Chen wanted to say something, but in the end he only shook his head. This was Dragon Shisan’s fortune, and also the fate between the two of them. Whether fate began or ended was not something he could control.

Dragon Shisan’s body recovered bit by bit, but Bai Yun’s face became extremely haggard. Wrinkles appeared on her originally youthful little face, and her long black hair slowly turned completely silver. Jiang Chen took a deep breath. For Dragon Shisan’s sake, Bai Yun had poured nearly ninety percent of the origin Qi in her body into him. For Dragon Shisan, this was almost like being given a second life. Moreover, his body had undergone a tremendous change, and his terrifying recuperative power and self-healing ability had also been boundlessly enhanced. Jiang Chen couldn’t help clicking his tongue in amazement. This Bai Yun was really too foolish. Doing this would undoubtedly do her harm.

“This silly girl. Sigh.”

Jiang Chen sighed. Dragon Shisan’s vitality grew ever more vigorous, and his injuries had almost completely healed, but he still did not wake up. On his body, layer after layer of red cocoon appeared, wrapping his whole body inside.
