Dragon-Marked War God

“So strong!”

Kouxiang Gangmen was shocked, and he charged forward again, even more fiercely than before.

“Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, invincible!”

Kouxiang Gangmen shouted furiously. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his momentum soaring to the stars, which shocked many people.

Jiang Chen’s expression was calm. With a turn of his hand, he threw another punch. His fist wind collided with the nine-foot gilded axe, and the axe was actually cracked by the force of Jiang Chen’s punch. Line after line of cracks spread across it. Kouxiang Gangmen’s face changed drastically and he fell back. The terrifying shock smashed the nine-foot gilded axe into his own body. Being severely injured by his own divine weapon left Kouxiang Gangmen wanting to cry without tears. The nine-foot gilded axe shattered instantly, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, utterly defeated.

The whole audience was shocked again. Jiang Chen was like an ancient wild bull. With one palm and one punch, he had dealt with everyone, yet he remained as steady as Mount Tai and showed no emotion. Even Tao Qianjun began to worry. Now he only hoped that the Lord of Tianlai Boundary would show up soon and suppress Jiang Chen, so he could do Tianlai Boundary a convenient favor. At least that way, Tianlai Boundary wouldn’t vent its anger on him.

The sons-in-law he valued most were still Kouxiang Gangmen and Tianyin the Enlightened, because both Penglai Boundary and Tianluo Temple were very powerful, especially Tianluo Temple. If he could climb onto the big tree that was Tianluo Temple, his future in Moluo County would surely soar, and he would fear no one.

But all of that depended on Tianyin the Enlightened now.

Now that Kouxiang Gangmen of Penglai Boundary had been defeated, only Tianyin the Enlightened was left. This forced Tao Qianjun to prepare in advance. Jiang Chen’s strength had exceeded his expectations. In the end, if Jiang Chen wanted to leave, he might have to make a move himself to suppress him.

“I told you that you were too weak, but you just wouldn’t believe me.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Kouxiang Gangmen’s face was livid. At this moment, he had nothing to say. After all, he had lost to Jiang Chen, and lost quite badly too. But the fact that he hadn’t died at Jiang Chen’s hands was already a stroke of luck. After all, rumor had it that Jiang Chen had killed Bi Jiagang, and now it seemed this guy was fully capable of it.

“It seems you are indeed the strongest one here, but in front of me, you have nothing to be proud of. As one of the strongest disciples of Tianluo Temple, today I’ll show you properly what the might of an ancient temple is.”

Tianyin the Enlightened looked at Jiang Chen and said lightly.

“The ancient Tianluo Temple? I’ve never heard of it. I wonder how Temple Hong Yan compares to your Tianluo Temple?”

Jiang Chen said.

“You know Temple Hong Yan?”

Tianyin the Enlightened said with a faint smile. Knowing about Temple Hong Yan wasn’t anything unusual. After all, as one of the ten great ancient temples of the entire Western-pole Divine Land, Temple Hong Yan could barely be called the tenth.

“Do you know Scarlet Flame the Enlightened of Temple Hong Yan?”

Jiang Chen asked.

“You know Scarlet Flame the Enlightened? He’s an eminent monk of Temple Hong Yan with a great reputation. How could I not know him? But Temple Hong Yan and my Tianluo Temple have no dealings with each other.”

Tianyin the Enlightened said proudly.

“If you can’t even beat Scarlet Flame the Enlightened, I advise you not to make a move.”

“Although Scarlet Flame the Enlightened is an eminent monk, I don’t fear him. Even if he were here today, I would certainly ask him for a few pointers.”

Tianyin the Enlightened said.

“I’m afraid you won’t get that chance. You aren’t even as good as Scarlet Flame the Enlightened. It seems this contest is already meaningless.”

Jiang Chen’s words made Tianyin the Enlightened’s face turn serious.

“Why?”

“Because he’s already dead.”

Jiang Chen said lightly.

“What?”

Tianyin the Enlightened couldn’t believe what Jiang Chen said at all. If it was really as he said and Scarlet Flame the Enlightened was dead, then how strong was this guy? Scarlet Flame the Enlightened was very formidable, and an eminent monk of Temple Hong Yan. For him to have been killed by Jiang Chen… Tianyin the Enlightened still couldn’t quite believe it, but seeing the certainty on Jiang Chen’s face, he was half convinced.

“No matter what, if you want to win the beauty today, you still have to get past me. Humph.”

Tianyin the Enlightened said with a cold laugh. Whether it was true or not, he would try and find out. If he really was no match for Jiang Chen, there would be nothing wrong with withdrawing. But he really liked both the City Lord’s daughter and the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill. Wouldn’t it be even better to have both? If this guy hadn’t suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he might already be flying side by side with the City Lord’s daughter.

“Fine, then I’ll grant your wish.”

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently. To him, these guys were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs. But what he wanted wasn’t the City Lord’s daughter, only the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill.

Xue Qianying was extremely nervous, because she knew that as long as Jiang Chen defeated Tianyin the Enlightened, he would become the son-in-law of the City Lord’s Mansion. For Xue Qianying, this might be the best outcome. In fact, in Xue Qianying’s heart, which had been as still as an ancient well, a trace of hope and excitement had already appeared.

“If it’s really him, then I’ll accept this life of mine. What does it matter? Being by his side would also be a good place to end up. It’s fate, it’s destiny.”

There was a faint smile at the corners of Xue Qianying’s mouth. Beneath the green veil, without anyone knowing, a trace of a young girl’s feelings stirred.

Tao Qianjun looked grave. Jiang Chen had defeated three people in a row, and Tao Qianjun grew more and more worried. He hoped that Tianyin the Enlightened could defeat Jiang Chen. That way, his scheme would fully come true. He would board the big ship that was Tianluo Temple, and then help the Lord of Tianlai Boundary capture Jiang Chen. In that way, Tianlai Boundary wouldn’t vent its anger on him either. It would be the most perfect ending.

But in all of this, Jiang Chen was the biggest variable. He hoped Jiang Chen wouldn’t defeat Tianyin the Enlightened, or things would become extremely bad. He would be attacked from both front and rear. If Tianlai Boundary and Penglai Boundary joined forces against him, the situation of his Tongyou Boundary would become even more difficult.

“Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen!”

Outside the arena of the City Lord’s Mansion, hundreds of thousands of people chanted in low, deep voices, cheering Jiang Chen on. Although they didn’t know Jiang Chen, they didn’t know Tianyin the Enlightened either. This guy who had appeared out of nowhere was like a demon king wreaking havoc, yet also like a brother who had stepped out from among them. Naturally, he had everyone’s support. Most importantly, Jiang Chen was simply too strong. He crushed his opponents like dry weeds. His strength was astonishing, and defeating enemies in one move was just too satisfying to watch.

“It looks like Little Chen is going to win.”

Wu Ningzhu said with a smile.

“Sister Ning, how can you still laugh? If that guy wins, that peerless woman on the city tower will surely give herself to Little Chen. Didn’t you see how happy he looked earlier, making eyes at her like that? It makes me angry just looking at it. Humph, this guy eats from the bowl while eyeing the pot. I’m so angry.”

Yan Qingcheng stood with her arms crossed, looking very displeased.

“Can you even control him? If he really has such intentions, then as his women, we should support him. If he doesn’t, then as his women, shouldn’t we trust him all the more? Hehehe.”

Wu Ningzhu shook her head with a smile and patted Yan Qingcheng on the shoulder. Yet both of them, without prior agreement, turned their eyes to the woman on the city tower.
