Dragon-Marked War God

“A rabble daring to talk of courage?”

Jiang Chen said with contempt, a cold smile at the corners of his mouth. He reached out, and only at this moment did he grip his Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand.

“A rabble? You really do talk big. If I don’t show you how formidable my Penglai Boundary is today, will you really think you’re invincible in the world? You’re only at the Mid Hierarch Realm and you’re this arrogant. Let’s see how long you can keep laughing.”

Kouxiang Daqu said with a cold laugh, his eyes extremely sinister. With a wave of his big hand, hundreds of Divine King Realm experts and dozens of Hierarch Realm experts stood ready, prepared to fight Jiang Chen to the death. In their eyes, the fight to the death to defend the dignity of Penglai Boundary would come at any moment.

With hundreds of Divine King Realm experts, such might was quite frightening. For those of low strength, this terrifying aura alone was enough to make them feel a deathlike pressure. Add to that the Hierarch Realm experts who were rarely seen on ordinary days, and the whole of Penglai Boundary seemed to become extremely oppressive. Many people had the illusion that a storm was about to break.

The Hierarch Realm experts disdained Jiang Chen even more. With so many Hierarchs, could he alone really be a match for them? And with the Lord of Penglai Boundary leading them, what did they have to fear? In their eyes, this battle was nothing more than a way to establish their authority, to strike Jiang Chen head-on and kill him with one blow.

“My Heaven-Eye Divine Eagle died at this guy’s hands. Everyone, be careful. Today, for the safety of Penglai Boundary, I will fight to the death.”

Kouxiang Daqu’s eyes were dark, and many people turned serious too. After all, they knew about the Heaven-Eye Divine Eagle. It was a Mid Hierarch Realm demonic beast, the treasured darling of the Lord of Penglai Boundary. On ordinary days, even Kouxiang Gangmen could hardly get close to it. Now that it had died at the hands of this guy who didn’t know whether he lived or died, Kouxiang Daqu’s fury could well be imagined.

“We will follow the Boundary Lord to the death!”

“We swear to be loyal to Penglai Boundary to the death!”

The furious roar of eight hundred Divine Kings shook the heavens. Morale throughout Penglai Boundary soared like a rainbow. Facing eight hundred Divine Kings and dozens of Hierarchs alone, Jiang Chen was completely unafraid and looked down on all of them. His cold attitude made Kouxiang Daqu find him all the more hateful.

Their shouts were like mountains roaring and seas surging. Shockwaves rolled and their might shook the heavens. Kouxiang Daqu stood at the top of the void like an eternal monarch, commanding all the heroes. Penglai Boundary was indeed more powerful than Tongyou Boundary and Tianlai Boundary. The boundary lord’s strength already said it all. If his strength weren’t enough, he couldn’t possibly have such prestige and domineering power.

As people of Penglai Boundary, it was only natural for them to swear loyalty to Kouxiang Daqu and to Penglai Boundary until death. At this moment, their momentum rose to its peak.

“Warriors, follow me to kill this beast, and Penglai Boundary will regain its peace!”

Kouxiang Daqu shouted in a low voice. A ten-foot Soul-Refining Chain appeared in his hand. To avenge the Heaven-Eye Divine Eagle and to let Jiang Chen know how formidable the Immortal Island of Penglai was, he had to strike powerfully and crush Jiang Chen with thunderous methods. Only then could he re-establish his heavenly might!

“Jiang Chen, be careful!”

Wu Ningzhu said in a low voice. She was extremely anxious inside. After all, the people Jiang Chen faced at this moment were very different. But her strength hadn’t reached the Hierarch Realm yet, unlike Yan Qingcheng, who had already reached the Early Hierarch Realm and could help ease Jiang Chen’s burden. She felt especially useless. Jiang Chen had put himself in danger for her again and again, yet she could do nothing. She could only stay silently behind him and might even become a burden.

Wu Ningzhu had always been a very strong-willed woman. In her heart, she didn’t want to be Jiang Chen’s burden. She also wanted to be Jiang Chen’s right-hand woman, his solid backing. If she could help him even a little bit, she would be content. But now, with her sickly body, how could she be Jiang Chen’s helper?

No one knew the struggle in Wu Ningzhu’s heart at this moment. As Jiang Chen’s woman, how could she be so fragile? Yet she had brought Jiang Chen far too much trouble. Although there was no great rivalry between her and Yan Qingcheng, as both of them had become a part of Jiang Chen’s heart, with the pride and self-respect of a woman, how could Wu Ningzhu tolerate her own weakness and incompetence right now? Yan Qingcheng had fought side by side with Jiang Chen several times. Even if she couldn’t necessarily secure victory for him, people’s hearts would always change in the end, and Wu Ningzhu was no exception.

Deep in her heart, how Wu Ningzhu longed to fly side by side with Jiang Chen, as a pair inseparable. But reality didn’t allow it, and reality was even crueler.

“Little Chen, I’m sorry…”

Wu Ningzhu said silently, her face somewhat pale. All she could do was silently wish him well. When she looked at Yan Qingcheng, her eyes were full of envy. She knew Jiang Chen wouldn’t blame her, but she lamented her own misfortune and was angry at her own weakness.

“Qingcheng, protect Sister Ning. I’m going on a killing spree.”

Jiang Chen said lightly, but Wu Ningzhu’s heart trembled slightly. Why, why was she always the one who needed protecting? If she weren’t so fragile, why would anyone need to protect her? Little by little, Wu Ningzhu’s heart sank into lowliness and desolation.

Jiang Chen pointed his sword at the void. Nimble sword qi swept back and forth, as if he didn’t take anyone seriously. Everyone’s killing intent toward Jiang Chen soared like a rainbow.

“Jiang Chen, you’ll soon know what it feels like to be sliced to death.”

At this moment, Kouxiang Gangmen also joined the battle. He stood together with many Hierarch Realm experts, who all surrounded him to guard him. Apart from Kouxiang Daqu, Kouxiang Gangmen was now the true lord and commander of Penglai Boundary.

“I came only for the Jade Marrow Soul Seed, yet you’ve forced me to this point. If I don’t kill all of you ignorant fools, how can I get the Jade Marrow Soul Seed?”

Jiang Chen was calm and composed. He laughed faintly, flew up into the void, and struck first.

The Limitless Sword swept across ten thousand miles of void. Eight hundred Divine King Realm experts attacked first. A formation gathering countless Divine King Realm experts formed instantly, linked to the ever-changing miasmic mist and clouds in the void. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Perhaps this was Kouxiang Daqu’s real trump card. A formation made up of eight hundred Divine King Realm experts was no ordinary thing. Even a Hierarch Realm expert might not be able to face it head-on.

Waves of sword qi pressed down. Jiang Chen shouted in a deep voice. The Ninth Sword struck out and the Tenth Sword swept across. The eight hundred Divine King Realm experts were almost able to block these two swords, which shocked even Jiang Chen. The formation of the eight hundred Divine Kings wasn’t terrifying in itself. What was terrifying was the miasmic mist in the sky, which could completely nullify his attacks, so that Jiang Chen’s offensive didn’t bring total disaster upon those Divine King Realm experts.

Otherwise, with a single crushing sword from Jiang Chen, how could those Divine King Realm experts possibly have had any chance of survival?
