Dragon-Marked War God

“So strong!”

Jiang Chen’s heart shook. He had been forced back by the green light, and his expression turned grave. He knew that the target of that green figure was precisely the two green lamps in his hands.

Green light flashed out. Throughout the entire hall, every lamp and every torch went out along with it. The green lamps in Jiang Chen’s hands also began to tremble violently. Jiang Chen gripped the two green lamps tightly, but the green lamps seemed to have an extremely strong will of their own and wanted to break free of his hands.

At this moment, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened also charged at Jiang Chen with no regard for anything else, in order to seize the two green lamps in his hands.

Those green lamps had to be supreme magic artifacts left behind by the Buddha of the Three Ages, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara. The green lamps in the hands of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara were the most formidable of magic artifacts. Even now, covered in dust, old and damaged, without any luster, they were still extremely terrifying divine weapons. Even the blood-red chain Jiang Chen had obtained earlier did not seem able to hold these two green lamps.

Jiang Chen used the blood-red chain in his hand to bind the two green lamps together, but the green lamps seemed to have come alive. Their incomparably enormous will seemed about to break free of the blood-red chain, and the blood-red chain and the green lamps were tangled up with each other.

Jiang Chen was attacked from front and back. Green light flickered, and a proud, solitary figure arrived, tearing through the air, holding a broken green sword. The green shadow flashed and was gone. Even Jiang Chen was greatly shaken.

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened could hardly hide the shock in their hearts either, but they had only one target, and that was Jiang Chen.

Kill Jiang Chen and take the green lamps. That was the only belief in their hearts.

“Thirteenth Sword!”

Jiang Chen swept out with his sword, forcing back Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened. The two came back again, their attacks even fiercer. On the other side, that green shadow was not polite either, and pushed Jiang Chen into a situation where he could neither advance nor retreat. An idea came to Jiang Chen. He retreated in order to advance and lured Scarlet Crow the Enlightened into the path of the green light. That green shadow sliced straight across Scarlet Crow the Enlightened’s chest, and his whole arm was cut off. He was severely injured.

The green light was too fast. Even Jiang Chen could not keep up with it. At this time, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened was even more consumed with rage and fought as though his life depended on it. Although Scarlet Crow the Enlightened had lost an arm, for an expert like him, as long as he still had a breath left, no injury was a problem. Enduring his injury, Scarlet Crow the Enlightened advanced instead of retreating. With the two of them joining forces, Jiang Chen’s situation became extremely difficult.

Jiang Chen had been able to use the situation to injure Scarlet Crow the Enlightened once, but to injure him a second time would be quite difficult. No one was a fool. That Jiang Chen had been able to borrow the east wind and severely injure Scarlet Crow the Enlightened was already quite lucky.

“This Jiang Chen is actually this formidable? Being able to hold off the attacks of two Enlightened ones is truly shocking.”

“Yeah, I really didn’t expect it. This mere Mid Hierarch actually has such power. It looks like we need to be careful.”

“A Hierarch is a Hierarch after all. Even if he borrowed the east wind to severely injure Scarlet Crow the Enlightened, he can’t turn the tide on his own.”

“That’s right. Let’s just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Hmph, let’s see who has the last laugh. But who is that green shadow, anyway? Could it be the Reincarnated Living Buddha?”

When all their eyes came together, every one of them felt uneasy. They were extremely curious about that green figure. Their guess was not without reason. The appearance of that green shadow had shocked them greatly. Its speed was as fast as a gale, and no one could catch it. The moment it struck, it was clearly bent on killing Jiang Chen. It was definitely no one to be trifled with.

Even the several eminent monks of Tianluo Temple did not dare to rush in. At this time, they were all silently watching. Only when Temple Hong Yan showed the slightest sign of losing would they take action.

If they acted now, Jiang Chen would certainly have nowhere to hide, but that was not the outcome they wanted. They only wanted to see Jiang Chen and the people of Temple Hong Yan kill each other, so they could reap the benefits. That was reality. The people of Tianluo Temple would never make a pointless sacrifice.

At this moment, the green light appeared again. Jiang Chen no longer held back. The Fourteenth Sword struck up into the sky, a hundred swords in a cycle of reincarnation, and all the sword qi crashed into that green light and came booming down. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, and only then did he truly see clearly that the green shadow was actually a woman, a woman as light as a swallow, as alluring as a demon.

Her long hair hung loose, her gaze was like a torch, sharp as a blade. With the sword momentum cycling around her, the green figure could only shift her target. Otherwise, Jiang Chen’s Fourteenth Sword would certainly have made her falter, and then she would have exposed herself and become the target of everyone.

Jiang Chen took advantage of the moment to quickly clash with Scarlet Crow the Enlightened, weaving back and forth with that green figure, and drove straight in, making Scarlet Crow the Enlightened’s face change drastically. At this moment, Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Sword had already transformed into a long dragon, its sword qi like a rainbow, and pierced straight into Scarlet Crow the Enlightened’s chest.

Scarlet Crow the Enlightened wanted to retreat, but Jiang Chen sealed off his way. The Heavenly Dragon Knights struck in an instant, leaving Scarlet Crow the Enlightened no way back at all. Seven puppet figures blocked Scarlet Crow the Enlightened. Jiang Chen swept out ten thousand swords, and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened was completely torn to pieces. His soul was also completely crushed. Almost in an instant, he vanished like smoke. Even Scarlet Moon the Enlightened, who wanted to rescue him, was too late.

“Junior Brother!!!”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened’s eyes were about to burst. Never in his dreams had he imagined that his junior brother would die at the hands of a Mid Hierarch, and most importantly, right under his own nose. For him, this was a huge insult. Scarlet Moon the Enlightened’s brows jumped, his eyes turned blood-red, and a ray of Buddha light flashed out from between his brows, heading straight for Jiang Chen.

On the other side, Jiang Chen was attacked again by that green figure. Caught in a pincer attack from front and back, he could only hold his ground, trapped in a dilemma, with no way to keep counterattacking.

“Buddha Light Flying Wheel!”

From between Scarlet Moon the Enlightened’s brows, a moon-wheel full of Buddha light shone out. Jiang Chen was struck by the moon-wheel and sent flying. A terrifying, invisible Buddha light rippled across the void. Everyone knew that at this moment, Scarlet Moon was going to fight to the death. Jiang Chen had killed Scarlet Crow, killed him completely without the slightest chance of survival, and that had utterly enraged Scarlet Moon the Enlightened.

And just then, the green figure grabbed the two green lamps in Jiang Chen’s hands. The two of them pulled back and forth, and in the end, the green figure forcibly took one of the green lamps away. Only one green lamp was left in Jiang Chen’s hand.

“You dare to snatch even my things. It looks like you’re tired of living!”

Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh. He completely ignored Scarlet Moon the Enlightened. The three of them chased one another. Jiang Chen only wanted that green lamp, while Scarlet Moon the Enlightened only wanted to kill Jiang Chen to avenge his two dead junior brothers!

The Buddha light moon-wheel was so terrifying that it forced Jiang Chen back again and again, trying to forcefully suppress him. But how could Jiang Chen be some ordinary mortal? Without some real ability, suppressing him was completely impossible.
