Dragon-Marked War God

Qing Xuan silently watched this scene. She was even a little moved. The bond between these two had to be extraordinary. Between them there were no pleasantries and no needless formalities, only the warmest greeting between brothers. As long as you are well, the sky is clear.

“It’s a long story.”

The Monk Tyrant shook his head, his expression calm. He was already a dying man, but he absolutely could not drag Jiang Chen down with him. He could sense that Jiang Chen’s strength was only Mid Hierarch. With that strength, there was no way he could stand against those people.

If the Monk Tyrant put his own enemies on Jiang Chen’s shoulders, it would be no different from harming him.

The Monk Tyrant would never do such a thing. He would rather die himself than shift the disaster onto Jiang Chen.

“The Reincarnated Living Buddha they’ve been searching for so desperately must be you.”

Jiang Chen said. He had guessed this long ago. It was only at this moment that he dared to confirm it.

“That’s right. Otherwise, how would I have become the man the whole Western-pole Divine Land wants dead? Hahaha.”

The Monk Tyrant laughed heartily, yet there was not the slightest melancholy in his words.

“From now on, with me here, you won’t be lying low like this anymore.”

Jiang Chen laughed, but his heart was in great turmoil. This great grudge had to be avenged. The Monk Tyrant was perhaps already in extreme danger across the whole Western-pole Divine Land. Being the public enemy of everyone was something that drew a lot of envious eyes.

“How long will your injuries take to heal? Your soul looks extremely weak. How did it get like this?”

Jiang Chen’s expression grew stern. The Monk Tyrant’s injuries could not be taken lightly, because his life could be in danger at any moment.

“He became like this to save me. Only by getting the green lamp of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, one of the Buddhas of the Three Ages, and the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring of the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha can his injuries be healed.”

Qing Xuan said with a look of deep regret. If not for her, he would not have ended up like this. No matter what, she would never abandon him.

Jiang Chen frowned. The green lamp of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, and the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring of the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha. It seemed this matter was not as simple as he had imagined.

“Life and death are decided by fate, wealth and honor by heaven. How could this be your fault? It’s just that my own bond with the Buddha is shallow. Heh.”

The Monk Tyrant said, shaking his head.

“They’ve come after us.”

Qing Xuan said in a low voice, her expression extremely stern. Behind Jiang Chen, more people were already arriving one after another, and those guys were all experts at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm.

“The people of Tianluo Temple and Temple Hong Yan have all come after us.”

Jiang Chen also frowned deeply. These guys had come precisely for the Monk Tyrant. It seemed that today there was bound to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

“Another swarm of damn flies?”

The Monk Tyrant said gloomily. It was these bastards, who were everywhere, that had driven him to this point. That bunch of self-righteous hypocrites called themselves people of the Buddhist faith, yet they killed people like flies and did not care at all about the mercy of the Buddha. And every one of them wanted him dead. That was the most hateful part. Getting the God Suppressing Monument in his hands was their real goal.

“No matter who it is, I won’t let them come half a step closer to you.”

Qing Xuan said in a deep voice, her expression cold. Even Jiang Chen admired her quite a bit. Qing Xuan was a woman who did not yield to any man, and she was very strong. At this time, she alone held up half the sky, and would never let the Monk Tyrant suffer the slightest wrong.

“I have a request, Little Chen. When it comes to the critical moment, take Qing Xuan and go.”

The Monk Tyrant said.

Jiang Chen’s face darkened. He glared fiercely at the Monk Tyrant and said coldly:

“Bullsh*t! If you were me, would you do that?”

The Monk Tyrant was stunned, then smiled bitterly, his face full of endless regret. He had not expected things to get this bad. His situation now was extremely dangerous. With Qing Xuan’s strength alone, she probably could not turn the tide. Even though Jiang Chen’s strength was not bad, he was after all only Mid Hierarch. He could already sense wave after wave of Half-step Divine Emperor power soaring into the sky, no fewer than seven or eight people.

“To be able to see you one last time before I die is perhaps the greatest gift heaven has given me.”

The Monk Tyrant sighed in his heart. He had no complaints and no regrets. He only hoped Jiang Chen would not be dragged down by him, and that Qing Xuan could escape alive.

“Jiang Chen, let’s see where else you can run to!”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened’s face was livid as he charged at the very front. Wuyin the Enlightened, Shenyin the Enlightened and Yueyin the Enlightened were not to be outdone either. Four Half-step Divine Emperor experts, fearless and imposing, closed in on Jiang Chen and Qing Xuan.

“Hm? Who is that person? Could he be someone from our Ten Great Temples?”

Wuyin the Enlightened frowned and murmured, looking at the Monk Tyrant, but he did not dare to be sure.

“It’s him! It’s the Reincarnated Living Buddha! It’s him!”

Suddenly, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened’s gaze fell on the Monk Tyrant. At that moment, everyone’s eyes narrowed and their pupils shrank. Monk, Reincarnated Living Buddha, these few words sent ripples through every one of their hearts. The Reincarnated Living Buddha they had been searching for so desperately was right in front of them. How could they not be shocked? How could they not be overjoyed?

They had entered the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple precisely to find the Reincarnated Living Buddha and obtain the God Suppressing Monument. Now that the Reincarnated Living Buddha was right in front of them, their goal had been achieved.

“Amitabha, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened, is that true?”

Wuyin the Enlightened said in shock.

“Amitabha! How could it be false? Some people of my Temple Hong Yan died at this beast’s hands before. There’s no mistake. He poses as a man of the Buddhist faith and calls himself the Reincarnated Living Buddha, yet who would have thought he’s an executioner who kills people like flies? He once cut down more than ten experts of my Temple Hong Yan. I’d recognize him even if he were burned to ashes. If one person hadn’t escaped back to the temple back then, I’m afraid we would never have known that the culprit was the man who calls himself the Reincarnated Living Buddha. It’s truly ironic. Today, my Temple Hong Yan will surely slay this demon and avenge my dead junior brothers.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened’s eyes were like blood as he glared at the Monk Tyrant. Everyone followed his gaze. At this moment, the Monk Tyrant was like a rotting log on the verge of death, gravely injured.

“It seems this time we must carry out justice on heaven’s behalf after all. What a sin, what a sin.”

Shenyin the Enlightened also shook his head silently, a look of sorrow on his face.

“Having left the secular world, why commit more killing? It’s simply unforgivable.”

Yueyin the Enlightened snorted coldly. Everyone was openly hostile toward the Monk Tyrant. Deep in their hearts, they were actually incomparably excited right now. Having found the Reincarnated Living Buddha, there was no need for them to stay in this illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple any longer. No one knew what other dangers lay in the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple. At the very least, they had seen those vanishing divine halls, and many people had already turned to flying ash inside them.
