Dragon-Marked War God

“Even Scarlet Flame the Enlightened died at your hands. I’d hope the eminent monks of Zhongsheng Temple didn’t die because of your scheming too?”

Tianyin the Enlightened sneered.

Jiang Chen stared at Tianyin the Enlightened. Did this guy want to start a fight between him and Temple Hong Yan, so he could reap the benefits while the two sides fought? That was truly despicable.

“What? You killed Scarlet Flame?”

The faces of Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened both changed drastically. Scarlet Flame was their junior brother. He had once made a trip to the Northern Cold Divine Region, but he had disappeared without a sound, without a trace, which had left Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened very puzzled. Although they did not want to admit it, Scarlet Flame the Enlightened had most likely met with misfortune.

“He said so himself. I don’t think you’ll deny it, will you? Jiang Chen.”

Tianyin the Enlightened said with a chuckle, gloating all over his face. Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened were both here. If he could stir up a conflict between them, nothing could be better.

“Is killing me really that important to you?”

Jiang Chen did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and shook his head. Tianyin the Enlightened, however, felt his heart skip a beat, because the moment Jiang Chen’s icy gaze pierced through him, he felt that this guy had already decided to kill him.

Jiang Chen did not deny it, which meant he admitted to killing Scarlet Flame the Enlightened. Jiang Chen had nothing to hide. It was just that these two from Temple Hong Yan seemed to be extremely angry with him.

“Amitabha, so Junior Brother Scarlet Flame really has passed away. Sigh.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened sighed. The instant he raised his head again, he had completely locked onto Jiang Chen.

“A mere Mid Hierarch. Let’s see just how capable you are. You dared to kill my Junior Brother Scarlet Flame. Today is the day you die.”

Scarlet Crow the Enlightened charged at Jiang Chen with total disregard for everything. Jiang Chen frowned, took a step back, and quickly went inside the ancient divine hall.

At that moment, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened both hesitated for a moment, but they still charged in after Jiang Chen.

“Amitabha. If I do not enter hell, who will? Those who shrink back will never accomplish great things. I, Wuyin the Enlightened, am coming.”

Wuyin the Enlightened nodded slightly and said flatly, then followed right behind them into the ancient divine hall.

Inside the main hall, everything was in disarray, covered in cobwebs, with dust everywhere. The jade prayer cushions had lost their color and luster. The offering tables all around had all cracked apart. Everything felt chaotic.

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened paid no attention to any of it and closed in on Jiang Chen directly. They wanted to avenge their dead Junior Brother Scarlet Flame. They absolutely could not let this bastard keep living free. A mere Mid Hierarch should have died long ago under the laws of the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple, yet he had lived until now.

“Jiang Chen, today you’re certain to die! Hurry up and accept your death, and maybe I’ll leave your corpse whole and bring it back to Temple Hong Yan to suffer the precepts’ punishment.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened said coldly.

“Two old bald donkeys. If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have what it takes.”

Jiang Chen sneered. At this moment, Jiang Chen ran all the way and leapt right up beneath the Buddha statue in the very center of the Buddhist hall. But at this moment, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened both stopped in their tracks, and neither of them took another step forward. The statues on either side were neither Arhats nor Bodhisattvas, but two Buddhas. Beneath their golden lotus thrones, Buddha light shone on all. Although they had lost their luster, their Buddhist charm still remained. With two Buddhas at the sides, who then was the Buddha in the center?

At this moment, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened both looked solemn. Although they hated Jiang Chen and wished they could kill him at once, they still had to revere the Buddhas in their hearts. Arhats and Bodhisattvas were one level lower, but no one dared to disrespect a true Buddha, and no one dared to make an enemy of one.

“Amitabha, could it be the Buddhas of the Three Ages?”

Wuyin the Enlightened also looked grave. At this moment, they had all appeared inside the hall. The appearance of the two Buddhas shocked them greatly. In this ancient Buddhist hall, which seemed so unremarkable and was only a hundred zhang in size, there were actually two Buddhas, and the Buddha in the very center was even more astonishing.

“The Buddhas of the Three Ages? It can’t be the Buddhas of the Three Ages. Why would the Buddhas of the Three Ages be in such a shabby hall?”

Tianyin the Enlightened said.

“Don’t be disrespectful. Step back.”

Wuyin the Enlightened shouted in a low voice, ordering Tianyin the Enlightened back. Tianyin the Enlightened’s face darkened, and he said nothing more.

“How dare you, brat! Get down at once! The Buddhas of the Three Ages are above. How can the likes of you behave so presumptuously!”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened said coldly, his gaze like a torch, pointing his sword at Jiang Chen. Even the people of Tianluo Temple became extremely devout, all pressing their palms together as they gathered.

Jiang Chen frowned. As he lowered his head, he saw two green lamps on the altar table. These two green lamps were in no way inferior to the blood-red chain he had obtained earlier, and perhaps even better.

“Kid, don’t you dare touch them!”

Scarlet Crow the Enlightened closed in on Jiang Chen and struck out with a palm, the might of a Half-step Divine Emperor, to drive Jiang Chen back. But Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all and grabbed the two green lamps tightly. Although their oil was used up and their flames had gone out, supreme power still remained in them. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. These two green lamps were definitely true supreme treasures.

“Damn you, those green lamps are definitely not something you can touch.”

At this moment, it was not only the people of Temple Hong Yan. Even Wuyin the Enlightened of Tianluo Temple stepped forward. If Jiang Chen could see how precious the two green lamps were, they could see it even more clearly. Their eyes did not blink as they stayed fixed on the green lamps, which made Jiang Chen value these two green lamps even more.

“The lamps are in my hands. If you want them, come and take them.”

Jiang Chen stood proudly. None of them dared to take a step forward. It was not that they were afraid of Jiang Chen, but they did not dare to profane the Buddhas of the Three Ages at this moment. Jiang Chen stood before the Buddha statue, on the altar table, because he was not a person of the Buddhist Realm and had no taboos. But the people of both Temple Hong Yan and Tianluo Temple were full of awe and reverence for the Buddhas of the Three Ages.

“It’s the Buddhas of the Three Ages. It must be Dipankara of the Three Ages!”

Scarlet Crow the Enlightened said in a deep voice.

“Those two green lamps are the best proof.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened nodded slightly as well.

“Only the Ancient Buddha Dipankara has such a lofty position. Those two green lamps couldn’t be the peerless magic artifacts from the hands of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, could they?”

Tianyin the Enlightened murmured. Jiang Chen was gripping the two green lamps tightly, and now all their eyes were on them.

“Amitabha. If you don’t put down the green lamps, don’t blame this old monk for being ruthless.”

Wuyin the Enlightened said coldly. The killing intent in his eyes had already begun to slowly spill out. Even if the people of Temple Hong Yan did not act, he could no longer hold himself back.

Just then, a streak of green light flashed past. Everyone could not help closing their eyes. The two green lamps in Jiang Chen’s hands were hit by a heavy force. Jiang Chen fell back, still gripping the green lamps tightly. That streak of green light was extremely terrifying. If not for Jiang Chen’s powerful physique, that strike just now would have severely injured him at the very least!
