Dragon-Marked War God

Now that Yan Qingcheng had been taken away by one of Buddha Long Xiang’s people, and all he could do was watch helplessly, it was a huge blow to Jiang Chen. However, according to what Venerable Mu Ling had said, Yan Qingcheng’s soul would not be easily erased within the next hundred years. What that Yun Geyao wanted was to merge with and devour Yan Qingcheng’s soul, not to kill her. If she killed her, what use would a mere empty shell of a body be to her?

“Buddha Long Xiang, Yun Geyao, I will definitely make you pay.”

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, extremely worried in his heart, but this matter could only be set aside for now. He did not yet have the strength to enter the Central Region Divine Land. How terrifying the Central Region Divine Land was went without saying. The powers there were intricately intertwined. Without a big tree to shelter under, trying to gain a foothold in the Central Region Divine Land was simply unrealistic.

Jiang Chen hurried back to the cave dwelling, because he was also worried about Wu Ningzhu. She was at a critical stage of repairing her soul, and nothing could be allowed to go wrong at a time like this.

However, the moment Jiang Chen returned to the cave dwelling, he discovered that Wu Ningzhu was gone. Jiang Chen’s heart instantly sank to rock bottom once again!

“Sister Ning!”

Jiang Chen roared, his fury soaring to the heavens. When it rained, it poured. Yan Qingcheng had only just been taken away, and now even Wu Ningzhu had vanished. Seeing the scattered rocks all around, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something.

“Martial Soul Emperor… Jade Marrow Soul Seed…”

Jiang Chen clenched his teeth and fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh. He knew that it had to be because of that Jade Marrow Soul Seed. Otherwise, this could never have happened. Right now, Jiang Chen did not even know where Wu Ningzhu was, or whether she was dead or alive. The Jade Marrow Soul Seed! It had to be because of that Jade Marrow Soul Seed. But who was the Martial Soul Emperor?

Jiang Chen had no idea, but the bold, powerful characters on the rock wall had truly been left by Wu Ningzhu. Jiang Chen would never mistake them.

For the first time, Jiang Chen’s heart trembled a little. Even though Yan Qingcheng had been taken away, at least he knew that she was in no great danger at the moment. But Wu Ningzhu had left behind only these two phrases. Jiang Chen had no way of knowing what had happened to her. However, the Martial Soul Emperor and the Jade Marrow Soul Seed had to be closely related. Otherwise, Sister Ning would not have left these words behind.

“Sister Ning!”

Jiang Chen murmured, but he would not give up. Jiang Chen searched for a long time with his Emperor Realm soul, and finally, within thirty thousand miles to the west, he found Sister Ning’s trail. But at this moment, Wu Ningzhu was flying away at an extremely fast speed, heading toward the far west.

“Wait for me, Sister Ning, I’ll definitely find you!”

Jiang Chen stepped into the void, pushing his speed to its limit as he headed straight west.

“Jiang Chen, you little brat, I’ve finally found you! Don’t even think about leaving today. Give me back my son!”

Suddenly, a tall, powerful figure charged out and blocked Jiang Chen’s way. Jiang Chen’s face turned as dark as water. He did not have the time to get tangled up with this person right now.

“Who are you? Get out of my way. I don’t have time to waste on you right now.”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice and turned to leave, completely ignoring the black-robed man in front of him. The black-robed man was burning with rage as he glared at Jiang Chen. He had never imagined that he, a dignified Half-step Divine Emperor, would be ignored by Jiang Chen. How could he not be furious? Moreover, all of his descendants had died at Jiang Chen’s hands. This was a blood feud that could not be shared under the same sky, and it had to be avenged!

“Shameless brat, do you think you can just walk away like this? Hmph, where do you think you’re going!”

Kouxiang Zhenyi quickly caught up. Jiang Chen frowned deeply. He had no desire to fight at all, because Sister Ning was getting farther and farther away from him. If not for the tracking of his Emperor Realm soul, he might already have lost her trail. And now some bastard had come out of nowhere halfway. Jiang Chen was even angrier than Kouxiang Zhenyi. What exactly did this bastard want by blocking him? Could he be in league with that person?

“Block me again, and I’ll kill you without mercy!”

Jiang Chen bellowed. His voice spread for a thousand miles. Rocks tumbled down the mountains and birds and beasts fled in fright. It was deafening.

“Well said. If I don’t knock you off your horse today, how could I face my sons and grandsons? Get over here!”

Kouxiang Zhenyi shouted angrily. He had also reached the end of his patience with Jiang Chen. Their gazes met, and the fury between them seemed hot enough to set the air ablaze.

But Jiang Chen did not want to fight, nor did he dare to. Killing someone who did not know what was good for him was nothing to him. But if Wu Ningzhu disappeared before his eyes like this, he would suffer even more. As a man, he would be a complete failure. Yan Qingcheng had already been taken from him. How could Jiang Chen let Wu Ningzhu vanish without a trace as well?

“Don’t push me. Get out of my way!”

Jiang Chen kept up the chase at extreme speed, but Kouxiang Zhenyi had no intention of letting him off so easily.

Jiang Chen did his best to shake off Kouxiang Zhenyi, but this guy kept chasing him relentlessly, and Jiang Chen could not pursue Sister Ning with his full strength. Terrifying blasts of force kept striking at Jiang Chen from behind. The attacks of a Half-step Divine Emperor were no trifling matter. Even now, Jiang Chen had to give his full attention when fighting a Half-step Divine Emperor. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer.

“Escaping from the hands of me, Kouxiang Zhenyi, is nothing but a fool’s dream. Stay here and be buried with my sons and grandsons.”

Kouxiang Zhenyi said angrily. In his eyes, Jiang Chen was only running for his life because he was no match for him and wanted to escape. How could he, a dignified Half-step Divine Emperor, give him that chance? Kouxiang Zhenyi had already made up his mind to take back control of Penglai Boundary. But before that, he had to kill Jiang Chen as an offering to his sons and grandsons. Only then could he win the people of Penglai Boundary over. Of course, with his strength, he no longer needed any of that. But revenge came before everything else!

Kouxiang Gangmen and Kouxiang Daqu could absolutely not die in vain. Otherwise, how would the Kouxiang Family ever save face?

“Take my palm!”

Kouxiang Zhenyi struck out with a palm, and heaven and earth changed color. The methods of a Half-step Divine Emperor were by no means simple. Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless and went all out. He threw a punch that collided head-on with Kouxiang Zhenyi’s palm, and both of them were forced back. But by the time Jiang Chen turned around and tried to resume the chase, Wu Ningzhu’s aura had completely left the range he could track. In other words, Wu Ningzhu had completely disappeared while he was chasing her. And all of it was because of this Half-step Divine Emperor who did not know what was good for him.

Jiang Chen’s whole body shook as rage flared up within him. The Five Elemental Divine Fire completely enveloped him. Divine fire blazed in his palm, and Jiang Chen’s eyes looked even more like the raging fires of hell.

“I didn’t want to kill you, and I didn’t want to get tangled up with you. But since you insist on seeking death, I’ll grant your wish.”

Jiang Chen’s aura rose within the flames, yet what Kouxiang Zhenyi felt was an endless chill.

At this moment, Jiang Chen went completely berserk!
