Chapter 3159 – One Against Five
Jiang Chen was fearless and imposing, his pride soaring to the sky. This battle was imminent. They had only one goal, and that was the Monk Tyrant. There was no room for the slightest hesitation. There could only be two outcomes. Either you die, or I do!
Wuyin the Enlightened and the others were furious too. Jiang Chen was a mere Mid Hierarch. What right did he have to be so arrogant toward them and spout such big words? Did he actually want to sweep everyone aside on his own? Such arrogance was unbearable.
“You’re courting death, you clueless thing! Our Buddha is merciful and intended to spare your lives, but unfortunately you’re stubborn and refuse to see the error of your ways. You insist on making enemies of all living beings. You’re simply digging your own grave. Today, I’ll grant your wish. Everyone, let’s cut down this beast first, then talk about the Reincarnated Living Buddha. How about it?”
Wuyin the Enlightened said coldly. The Reincarnated Living Buddha was the so-called God Suppressing Monument. It was just that he did not say it so plainly. In the end, he still had to be a little discreet.
“What Wuyin the Enlightened says is absolutely right.”
Scarlet Moon the Enlightened nodded silently as well. Both he and Wuyin the Enlightened looked grave, and hated Jiang Chen to the bone. Now Scarlet Moon the Enlightened was all alone, and he knew his chances were not great. So as long as he could kill Jiang Chen, he would not ask for much more. Whether he could get the God Suppressing Monument was up to fate. The strength of Tianluo Temple now completely overwhelmed his own. Scarlet Moon the Enlightened still understood that much. As long as the green mountains remain, there is no fear of running out of firewood. At a time like this, he would not choose to throw an egg against a rock.
“Amitabha, what does Benefactor Wei think?”
Wuyin the Enlightened said. After all, Wei Xiaolong’s strength could not be underestimated either. The three Half-step Divine Emperors of Heaven Connection Divine Palace were no ordinary people. This force was the key to their victory.
“Everything is up to you, Master.”
Wei Xiaolong smiled faintly. He knew Jiang Chen’s strength was not bad. Let these guys deal with Jiang Chen, and then he could reap the benefits. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? With his strength right now, he could not possibly stand against the people of Tianluo Temple, and on the surface they were still allies. So Wei Xiaolong could only wait and see. However, the people of Heaven Connection Divine Palace all knew how formidable Jiang Chen was. With just one look from Wei Xiaolong, they would know how to handle it.
Against Jiang Chen, they absolutely could not use their full strength. It would be best to let Jiang Chen severely injure the people of Tianluo Temple while he himself was badly wounded too.
“Amitabha. In that case, Jiang Chen’s death is decreed by heaven. Today, this old monk will carry out justice on heaven’s behalf. May the Buddha forgive his disciple. Rooting out evil is truly this disciple’s duty. What a sin, what a sin.”
Wuyin the Enlightened looked as if he bore some deep grievance, as though he had made this decision with great difficulty. Those who had left the secular world held compassion in their hearts, so killing was not an easy thing for them. But in the Ten Great Temples nowadays, it seemed they were all hypocrites of this sort.
“You make yourselves sound so holy and great, so sanctimonious. I think every one of you is like a Buddha. Hehehe.”
Jiang Chen said with a cold laugh.
“There’s no use talking. Save your hypocritical masks for those devout believers.”
Jiang Chen shouted coldly. Like a general on horseback with his blade drawn, he charged forward and pointed his sword at Scarlet Moon the Enlightened.
“How dare you, brat! Today I will surely cut you down.”
Scarlet Moon the Enlightened was not to be outdone either. In his eyes, Jiang Chen had only killed his junior brother Scarlet Crow the Enlightened through a cheap trick. In terms of real ability, wasn’t he worlds apart from him? Now he actually dared to challenge him. He really was tired of living. Did he really think he was invincible under heaven? With this bit of strength, he was trying to play the chivalrous hero. He truly overestimated himself.
Scarlet Moon the Enlightened gripped a nine-foot Zen staff and swept it across the void, smashing it down on heaven and earth again and again. Jiang Chen advanced with his sword, killing intent in every step. With the strength of a Mid Hierarch, he took on a Half-step Divine Emperor with all his might, and was not at a disadvantage at all.
“This guy really does have some skill. Being able to fight Scarlet Moon the Enlightened is truly no simple thing.”
Wuyin the Enlightened said.
“Leave that woman to my Heaven Connection Divine Palace. As for that little bastard Jiang Chen, Wuyin the Enlightened must take him down.”
Wei Xiaolong said.
“All right. Thank you for your trouble, Benefactor Wei.”
As soon as Wuyin the Enlightened finished speaking, he headed straight for Jiang Chen, joining up with Yueyin the Enlightened and Shenyin the Enlightened. Even Tianyin the Enlightened, the weakest of them, was not to be outdone. In an instant, the four of them joined the battle, forcibly trying to make Jiang Chen submit. Five against one, they forced Jiang Chen back in an instant.
On the other side, Qing Xuan did not slacken in the slightest and faced Wei Xiaolong and the others head-on. Although her strength was not bad, Wei Xiaolong was no ordinary person either. Three Half-step Divine Emperors from Heaven Connection Divine Palace, plus several Late Hierarch experts, put Qing Xuan in a difficult position the moment they clashed.
Compared with Qing Xuan, the one Wei Xiaolong least wanted to face was Jiang Chen. Although Wei Xiaolong had not seen Jiang Chen’s battle at Profound Connection Divine Palace, anyone who could beat the whole of Profound Connection Divine Palace black and blue was beyond doubt in terms of strength. Cultivation realm did not represent everything. Jiang Chen was the most perfect example of that.
A mere Hierarch had trampled across Profound Connection Divine Palace, slain two Palace Lords and killed three experts of the Battle God Clan. All of it was astonishing. In the eyes of the people of Heaven Connection Divine Palace, Jiang Chen’s name was a taboo, a model of a tiger who played the pig.
Jiang Chen fought one against five, but he knew this was definitely not the way to go on. Although Tianyin the Enlightened always hid at the very back during each attack, Jiang Chen had to make him the first to fall. Otherwise, his situation would only get more and more dangerous. Jiang Chen directly used Dragon Transformation. Even under Dragon Transformation, facing four Half-step Divine Emperors still stretched him thin, but this had already forced Jiang Chen to go all out. None of these people were easy to deal with. They were the top experts of the Ten Great Temples. Apart from those old immortals in the temples who had not come out for ages, these guys were probably the strongest fighters they could put forward.
Before this, the Monk Tyrant had killed many of their people, all outstanding members of the younger generation, but they still could not do anything to him. So on this trip to the Great Thunderclap Temple, they naturally could not let the Monk Tyrant off easily again. It was bound to be a battle to the death.
Jiang Chen wielded the Heavenly Dragon Sword, and the Limitless Sword galloped back and forth. The small world was almost completely turned upside down by the battle of these few people. The beautiful scenery from before was entirely gone.
The ruined peaks and green trees all turned to ash. Jiang Chen retreated in order to advance. The four Half-step Divine Emperors each displayed their skills, and none was willing to fall behind. Jiang Chen retreated step by step. If not for the power of his Dragon Transformation body, he would have been completely unable to withstand such powerful attacks.
“Moonwheel Light!”
Scarlet Moon the Enlightened flipped through hand seals, and the Moonwheel Light burst out with tremendous force!
