Dragon-Marked War God

“No, I absolutely can’t let Little Chen die for me!”

The Monk Tyrant suddenly turned around, but he could not even stand up. Jiang Chen had made big promises so that he could leave with peace of mind, but could he really stand against seven Half-step Divine Emperors? He himself had been gravely injured by four Half-step Divine Emperors before. Although he had killed three of them and one had escaped, in the end he had become what he was now, neither human nor ghost.

And Jiang Chen was facing not four, but seven, seven Half-step Divine Emperors. Earlier, when facing four of them, he had already looked stretched thin. How could he have believed he could turn the tide? It was not that he did not trust Jiang Chen. It was that he hated himself for leaving Jiang Chen alone in this small world.

“I’m sorry, monk. I absolutely can’t watch you go to your death. Forgive my selfishness!”

Qing Xuan’s eyes were filled with tears as she carried the Monk Tyrant away. And in the Monk Tyrant’s eyes there was also a mist of tears. It was the only time he had shed tears from the Nine Region Immortal World to the Divine World. It was heartache, it was regret, it was grief for Jiang Chen. He had let him down. He had let his brother down.

If one day he saw Big Yellow, saw Shisan, saw Ah Yan, what would he say? That Jiang Chen had died for him? That he had watched his own brother die with his own eyes and done nothing? That he had been powerless?

The Monk Tyrant knew that none of this was Qing Xuan’s fault, and he had no right to blame her. She was not someone who feared death. She just did not want to see him die.

Just as the two of them left, the entire ancient hall began to sway as if about to collapse. When Qing Xuan looked back, the statue of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara had already begun to break apart, and the small world behind it had also begun to show a crack.

“Let’s go!”

Qing Xuan resolutely turned her head away. She felt it was unfair to Jiang Chen, but all of this was to save the Monk Tyrant. She was grateful to Jiang Chen in her heart, and hoped he could escape alive. It was just that things were beyond her control. No one would want to stay in that small world full of slaughter.

Jiang Chen was fighting one against ten. Seven experts at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm attacked together. Even with one body turned into nine Supremes, Jiang Chen was put very much on the defensive. Jiang Chen was forced back again and again, but he used his own life to hold off Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and the others. None of them could cross that line by even half a step. Jiang Chen blocked them all outside.

“Damn you, you bastard! Get out of my way!”

This time, even Wei Xiaolong was a little angry. Jiang Chen had blocked all of them, and they could no longer find the slightest trace of the Reincarnated Living Buddha. The man had already escaped, and everything they had done before had been in vain. What was the point of killing this guy? With him dead, they would not get the Reincarnated Living Buddha, much less the God Suppressing Monument. So their target was not Jiang Chen at all. Only Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and the people of Tianluo Temple wanted Jiang Chen dead.

But even Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Wuyin the Enlightened were extremely angry, because Jiang Chen had forced them back and the Reincarnated Living Buddha had left the small world, so they had still gained nothing. They had clearly seen hope, but Jiang Chen had snuffed it out. With the Reincarnated Living Buddha gone, their hopes were completely dashed.

The fat meat had been right at his mouth, and it had just run away like this. How could Wei Xiaolong not be angry? He had calculated it all. Killing Jiang Chen was only secondary. Letting Jiang Chen force the others back so he could profit from it was what mattered most.

But now, Jiang Chen had instead blocked all of them here. Even though Jiang Chen had been wounded by more than ten of them, it was already useless to try to chase after the two now.

“Jiang Chen, I’m going to kill you! Give me back my brother, give me back my Reincarnated Living Buddha!”

Wuyin the Enlightened roared like thunder, shaking people’s souls. Jiang Chen showed no fear. Even though he was deeply on the defensive, these people could not kill him in a short time.

The effect of the Nine Supreme Saint Bones Pill was about to wear off, and Jiang Chen’s situation became more and more passive. But the heavens are unpredictable. The whole small world began to shake violently. The entrance to the small world began to collapse as well. Wuyin the Enlightened and the others, who had experienced this before, changed color and shouted in deep voices:

“Run! This small world is collapsing.”

Everyone’s faces changed, and they quickly rushed away. Although Jiang Chen was detestable, Wei Xiaolong and the others had no life-and-death grudge with him. So at this moment, the people of Heaven Connection Divine Palace were the first to rush toward the entrance, wanting to escape alive.

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Wuyin the Enlightened fought as they retreated. The effect of Jiang Chen’s Nine Supreme Saint Bones Pill had just worn off. The two of them did not intend to kill Jiang Chen. As long as they kept him in this small world, Jiang Chen would surely die.

“We can’t let him get out.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened said. Wuyin the Enlightened understood at once. The four Half-step Divine Emperors blocked Jiang Chen’s path. The people of Heaven Connection Divine Palace all withdrew, while Jiang Chen alone was blocked by the four. The mountains and rivers inside the small world began to crack apart one after another. The waters began to churn as if the seas were overturning. Giant trees were torn apart, and sand and stones flew everywhere. It was as if the end of the world had come.

Jiang Chen kept charging, but the four did not hold back their attacks at all. They did not intend to kill Jiang Chen, only to trap him. When the small world collapsed, Jiang Chen would have nowhere to hide, and this ancient hall was bound to vanish along with it.

“Jiang Chen, you can stay behind and be destroyed along with the small world. Hahaha.”

Wei Xiaolong said with a cold laugh.

“This is your retribution, understand? No matter how strong you are, what good does it do? Aren’t you still going to die here all the same? Since you saved the Reincarnated Living Buddha, you can die in his place. Even so, he still won’t escape our grasp.”

Wei Xiaolong glared viciously at Jiang Chen. No one could stop Jiang Chen’s death now.

The small world was collapsing more and more violently. At this moment, Wuyin the Enlightened and the others had all withdrawn from the small world. Wave after wave of terrifying attacks made it impossible for Jiang Chen to break out of the encirclement.

Wuyin the Enlightened and Scarlet Moon the Enlightened exchanged a glance, their eyes full of cold malice. Jiang Chen’s death was well deserved. Trapped in the small world, he could not possibly escape alive.

The instant Wuyin the Enlightened and the more than ten others escaped, the entire small world completely collapsed. Even the ancient main hall in front of them gradually turned into flying ash.

“This guy is finally dead.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened said through gritted teeth. Although Jiang Chen was dead, his two junior brothers had also turned to dust and scattered between heaven and earth. For him, this trip into the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple was far from over, and yet he was already all alone.

As for Wuyin the Enlightened, Tianluo Temple’s situation was acceptable, because they still had their three Half-step Divine Emperors, as well as their helpers from Heaven Connection Divine Palace. Only Temple Hong Yan was left with Scarlet Moon the Enlightened alone, a commander without an army. Searching for the Reincarnated Living Buddha from here on was bound to be full of difficulties.
