Dragon-Marked War God

“I am Luo Binwang. I hope that one day I’ll have the chance to spar with you.”

Luo Binwang said with a chuckle, looking at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen naturally sensed this guy’s hostility, along with a hint of contempt. It was probably true that the God Luo Clan knew he carried the Craftsman God’s inheritance. Even if they might only be guessing, Jiang Chen still had to be on guard against this Luo Binwang. He had clearly taken notice of him and was very interested in him, so he had to be after something.

“I don’t like sparring with people I don’t know, unless it’s a fight to the death. Otherwise, when I spar, it decides not only who is stronger, but also who lives and who dies.”

Jiang Chen said indifferently. Everyone felt that Jiang Chen did not know what was good for him, especially those two from the God Luo Clan. Did this guy really think he was some kind of genius expert, speaking to the peerless genius of their God Luo Clan like that? He truly did not know life from death. His good days were about to end. Moreover, Luo Binwang was utterly devoted to Goddess Luo. Jiang Chen’s appearance had clearly angered him, and he had even developed a hint of killing intent toward Jiang Chen.

“It’s him!”

Dou Tianhuang’s expression turned grim, and his face grew serious. He stared fixedly at the man standing behind Lan Luo, the one who looked unrestrained, with messy long hair and scraggly stubble. His strength was only at the Mid Hierarch Realm. Compared to these geniuses who were at the Late Hierarch Realm at the very least, he stood out conspicuously as the weakest of them all.

His presence was like a single fish thrown into the sea, hardly causing a ripple. And yet, even so, the reason the people of the Battle God Clan hated Jiang Chen so much was his very existence, which made Dou Tianhuang turn serious at once. The inheritance of the Battle God Clan, the Dou Formation Technique, must never be allowed to leak out.

“What do you mean?”

Dou Bai glanced at Dou Tianhuang and frowned. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that the ‘him’ Dou Tianhuang was talking about meant something.

“The one in the Great Emperor’s Tomb back then was him. The one who killed several geniuses of our Battle God Clan was also him. He killed our people and robbed us of our clan’s inheritance. This time, we absolutely can’t let him go.”

Dou Tianhuang said in a deep voice. Fortunately, Jiang Chen’s strength was only at the Mid Hierarch Realm. If he faced Jiang Chen again now, killing him would probably be as easy as turning his hand over. Bringing back the two great ancestors had been of enormous significance to the entire Battle God Clan, and the rewards the clan had given Dou Tianhuang had benefited him enormously. At this moment, Dou Tianhuang’s strength had reached the peak of the Late Hierarch Realm. This time, Jiang Chen had walked right into their net, and they would absolutely not show mercy again!

“So he’s Jiang Chen? I wore out my iron shoes searching for him, and here he is without any effort at all. It seems the job of carrying out justice on behalf of the heavens and cutting the weeds out by the roots will have to be done by me, Dou Bai.”

Dou Bai said with a sneer, killing intent flashing in his eyes. This guy had stolen the secret technique of the Battle God Clan that was never passed on to outsiders. He was already a dead man.

“I never thought you’d still dare to show up in front of my Battle God Clan. You really don’t know life from death. Today, I’ll kill you to uphold the prestige of my Battle God Clan!”

Dou Bai’s aura erupted as he pointed straight at Jiang Chen. Everyone held their breath. This guy was really determined to kill Jiang Chen.

“Amitabha! This is the Mahavira Hall. I hope our friends of the Battle God Clan will put away their hostility. Please do not resort to violence before the Buddha.”

Jie Yan said in a deep voice, his face darkening. He stamped his foot lightly, and both Jiang Chen and Dou Bai were forced back several steps. Everyone acted as if facing a formidable enemy. The authority of Zhongsheng Temple could not be violated. Even if Dou Bai wanted to kill Jiang Chen here, it was unlikely to happen.

Dou Bai’s face was dark. He glared at Jiang Chen and said coldly.

“You got lucky this time. If the Master hadn’t pleaded for you, I would never have let you go. But even so, you can dodge it on the first of the month but not on the fifteenth. The next time we meet, I’ll take your dog life. The might of the Battle God Clan cannot be offended!”

Dou Bai’s words were forceful and resounding. Everyone silently watched this scene. This weak guy Jiang Chen had actually been targeted by experts of two great clans, the God Luo Clan and the Battle God Clan. One could imagine how much pressure that would put on Jiang Chen.

“Be careful. Once we set out, you have to stay close to us. We absolutely can’t let them take advantage of an opening to harm you.”

Lan Luo whispered in Jiang Chen’s ear.

Jiang Chen knew that his situation was already extremely dangerous at this moment. If the Xuanyuan Family found out who he was, they would probably not stand by idly either. They would definitely make trouble behind the scenes. Even on the Mu Clan’s side, only Lan Luo was free of hostility toward him for the time being.

As for his strength, in everyone’s eyes he was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The Battle God Clan hated him to the bone, and the God Luo Clan wanted to kill the hen to get the eggs. Jiang Chen found that no matter where he went, he could never escape bad luck.

Dou Bai and Dou Tianhuang both silently stared at Jiang Chen. If this were not the Mahavira Hall of Zhongsheng Temple, they might already have made a move on him. This guy had to be killed as soon as possible. The secret technique of the Battle God Clan must absolutely not spread to the outside. This had been the Battle God Clan’s taboo for tens of millions of years. The mystery of the Dou Formation Technique must never be passed on to outsiders.

But for now, everyone was watching and waiting. After all, this was Zhongsheng Temple’s territory, and they had all come at its invitation. Zhongsheng Temple was the host, and the four great clans were there to assist.

“Amitabha. All of you benefactors of the four great clans have come from afar. This humble monk, Jie Qian, is deeply gratified. On behalf of Zhongsheng Temple, I thank you all.”

The old monk in the black and white kasaya, Jie Qian, slowly stood up and bowed as he spoke, full of sincerity.

Everyone bowed slightly and pressed their palms together. After all, Jie Qian was the abbot of Zhongsheng Temple, and his strength was extraordinary. Who would dare to defy a Divine Emperor? Who would dare to act presumptuously?

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. In the entire hall, there were actually five experts at the level of a Divine Emperor. With such super strength, it was no surprise to Jiang Chen at all that it could stand proudly in the Western-pole Divine Land.

“Master Jie Qian, our purpose in coming here is clear. You might as well tell us directly. We’ve all come here under orders and will follow your arrangements entirely, Master Jie Qian.”

Luo Binwang nodded and said.

“In that case, I won’t beat around the bush. I am deeply grateful that all of you have come to help. This time, we also invited experts from the Profound Connection Divine Palace, but unfortunately, the Profound Connection Divine Palace had important matters and could not come. So now there are only the people of the four great clans. I hope all of you will help my Zhongsheng Temple stand out in this contest.”

Jie Qian said with a faint smile.

“The Profound Connection Divine Palace can’t come? What happened? The three great Half-step Divine Emperors of my Battle God Clan are all at the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Could the Profound Connection Divine Palace have run into some trouble?”

Dou Bai’s face darkened and his eyes froze. He had an ominous feeling in his heart.
