Dragon-Marked War God

At this moment, everyone kept backing away, wanting to leave the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But right then, Jiang Chen saw a blood-red chain in the hand of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and his heart began to tremble nonstop. That blood-red chain gave off a pressure that weighed on the soul. It was definitely a divine weapon, a true treasure.

Jiang Chen stepped into the air, forced the six-armed Arhat back, and flew up. He pulled the blood-red chain straight out of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s hand. The iron links swung across each other, and the moment it was in his hand, a bone-chilling cold pierced right into Jiang Chen’s heart. Jiang Chen was greatly shaken. Only by forcefully suppressing it with the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus did he manage to drive that extreme cold back, but even his soul trembled because of it. This blood-red chain was truly unfathomable.

“Hurry, let’s go! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late. We’ll all die here.”

Luo Binwang said in a deep voice. Everyone fought as they retreated, except for Jiang Chen, who was still in front of the main hall.

“Jiang Chen, get out of there!”

“Big Brother, run!”

Lan Luo and Goddess Luo shouted almost at the same time, their eyes filled with incomparable worry.

The group retreated in an instant. Only Jiang Chen, holding the blood-red chain, wanted to turn back, but he had already been forced back by several Arhats.

Jiang Chen frowned. These guys clearly already knew that this divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was no ordinary place. They had all decided to pull out, and they had already fallen back to the edge. They were about to leave the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Everyone knew that if they stayed here any longer, there would be nothing but death waiting for them.

“Jiang Chen!”

Lan Luo cried out. But Jiang Chen was swallowed up by the Arhats again. Lan Luo stepped forward, wanting to save him, but Lan Mao grabbed her and forced her out through the main doors. The others followed right behind and leapt to the doorway.

“The doors are closing, hurry!”

Xuanyuan Yumo shouted in a low voice. Everyone woke up as if from a dream and followed closely, forcing back the Arhats around them, not daring to linger in the fight. One after another, they jumped out through the doorway. The doors of the entire hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were about to close. Finally, everyone had jumped out, except for Jiang Chen alone, who was charging left and right, flickering about as he dodged the Arhats’ attacks.

“Didn’t expect this guy to actually have some skill. He’s pretty nimble. Hmph.”

“So what? This guy probably won’t make it out.”

“Greed never knows when to stop. He wanted that blood-red chain. Too bad he’s doomed to lose his life in there.”

Dou Bai and the others said with sinister expressions.

Jiang Chen fought as he retreated. More and more Arhats charged at him, and he was pushed back again and again, in a sorry state.

“No!”

Goddess Luo’s pretty face turned grave. A huge white chain shot into the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and wrapped around Jiang Chen’s body, but in an instant, someone tore it apart.

Goddess Luo’s face changed. She found that the one who had torn the white chain apart was none other than Dou Bai!

“What are you doing?”

Lan Luo shouted sharply.

“What am I doing? He stole a secret of my Battle God Clan that is never passed to outsiders. Of course I want him dead.”

Dou Bai said indifferently. He did not care at all about Lan Luo’s questioning. There was a sinister, cunning look at the corners of his mouth.

But Jiang Chen did not let Lan Luo and Goddess Luo down. He charged left and right, not confronting the Arhats head-on at all. Instead, he chose to avoid a large wave of charging Arhats and, by the narrowest of margins, made it to the doorway. At this moment, the doors of the divine hall were only a hair’s breadth from closing. Jiang Chen leapt out, and Lan Luo and Goddess Luo both breathed a sigh of relief. The worry in their hearts finally eased.

But right at this moment, something unexpected happened again. Dou Bai, Xuanyuan Yumo, Lan Mao and Luo Binwang all made their move almost at the same time. Four Half-step Divine Emperors struck with all their strength, just to force Jiang Chen back. Jiang Chen’s face changed and his eyes narrowed. Four Half-step Divine Emperor experts were hitting him head-on, and they were all extremely formidable experts, more than a cut above Dou Qing back then. With the four of them joining forces, there was no way Jiang Chen could withstand them head-on. He could only be driven all the way back.

In the end, Jiang Chen did not make it out through the closing doors.

“What are you all doing?”

Lan Luo roared in anger. At this moment, all four Half-step Divine Emperors looked cold and indifferent. Dou Bai had every reason to kill Jiang Chen. Lan Mao was full of contempt for him. Xuanyuan Yumo had no deep hatred with Jiang Chen, but he was quite resentful, because all the people he had brought had died. Why should a guy at the Mid Hierarch Realm get to live? As for Luo Binwang, he actually wanted Jiang Chen’s Craftsman God’s inheritance. Unfortunately, he had no chance at all to make a move on Jiang Chen. In that case, he would just send him to hell. Once he was dead, that would be the end of it. What he could not get, no one else should get either.

Goddess Luo was also extremely angry. When she saw Jiang Chen knocked back through that doorway, with not the slightest trace of him to be seen anymore, her heart turned cold. These guys were simply bastards. How could they turn on their own at a time like this?

“Jiang Chen deserved to die. He stole the techniques of my Battle God Clan. Someone like that isn’t worth pitying.”

Dou Bai said gloomily.

“If he’s dead, he’s dead. What’s there to regret? Someone like that overestimates himself. Daring to step into the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple at the Mid Hierarch Realm, if that isn’t courting death, what is?”

Xuanyuan Yumo sneered.

“Someone like that is full of himself. This is the price he pays for his arrogance.”

Luo Binwang said flatly.

“He was too weak. If he’s dead, he’s dead. Otherwise, he would only have dragged us down.”

Lan Mao’s face was cold as well. Looking at the tightly shut doors, he felt neither joy nor sorrow. With Jiang Chen dead, Lan Luo’s heart would be completely settled. Otherwise, Jiang Chen’s existence would have been a huge threat to Lan Mao.

“Amitabha, how truly sad and lamentable.”

Yuan Qing the Enlightened and the other two sighed softly toward the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Both Lan Luo and Goddess Luo looked utterly dejected. Jiang Chen’s death had shaken them far too much. These bastards were completely inhuman. Jiang Chen had almost made it out, but the four Half-step Divine Emperors had driven him straight back into the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Then Jiang Chen was certain to die, with no chance of survival!

At this moment, the whole divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva began to shake violently. The entire mountain shook along with it, forcing everyone further back. Every one of them looked extremely grim. They had survived a disaster, but Jiang Chen had been left in the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva forever.

“Jiang Chen, I’m sorry… It was my fault…”

Lan Luo said with deep regret. Jiang Chen’s death had a great deal to do with her. One could imagine the guilt in her heart at this moment.
