Dragon-Marked War God

“Those lotus-colored lumps of ice are the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring. Once they’re taken out of here, the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring will melt into spring water.”

Yao Hongchen said in a deep voice.

Jiang Chen’s gaze also fell on the three green lotuses in full bloom. It seemed the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring was about to be in his hands!

Jiang Chen’s face lit up with joy. But right at this moment, both of them suddenly felt their bodies rising straight up.

Jiang Chen looked carefully, and his face changed drastically. He quickly retreated. An incomparably enormous palm came slapping down. Even in the water, the terrifying force of that giant palm forced Jiang Chen back. Yao Hongchen’s situation was even sorrier than Jiang Chen’s. He needed to use more Divine Origin Strength to resist the extreme cold beneath the ancient well, and he was almost slapped straight into a meat pie by that giant palm.

The water surged sky-high and the currents churned violently. Jiang Chen and Yao Hongchen both fell back. Only at this moment did the two of them discover that what had been beneath their feet just now was an incomparably enormous demonic beast. He was a hundred zhang tall and extremely ugly in appearance, with a human body and a beast’s face, a pointed mouth and hairy cheeks.

“A monkey?”

Jiang Chen said. This monkey’s strength was extremely terrifying, even reaching the level of a Divine Emperor Realm expert. But Jiang Chen did not dare to be sure, because his realm was extremely chaotic, rising and falling without any warning. Jiang Chen had no way of knowing just how strong he was. Judging from that palm just now, he definitely exceeded a Half-step Divine Emperor by who knew how many times.

“Insolent evil creatures, how dare you step into the Medicine Buddha’s Ancient Well! Intruders will be killed without mercy!”

The giant demonic beast roared. The sound spread through the water, shaking Jiang Chen and Yao Hongchen until their faces turned livid. This big monkey was simply too strong. With him guarding the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring, getting what they wanted would probably be extremely difficult.

“The Buddhist Realm has vanished without a trace. How come you didn’t die?”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

“The Buddhist Realm has vanished… Yes, the Buddhist Realm has vanished. Why am I still in a daze? Why haven’t I died yet…”

The giant beast murmured, then glared with wide, angry eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Chen and Yao Hongchen, full of killing intent.

“I, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, have leapt out of the Three Realms and am not bound by the Five Elements. Even if the Buddhist Realm went through ten thousand reincarnations, what would it have to do with me? But the Medicine Buddha still never let me escape the sea of suffering.”

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque roared. One could imagine the anger in his heart. Only then did Jiang Chen notice that although the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was a hundred zhang tall with momentum like a rainbow, his hands and feet were all locked in giant chains, and he could not break free at all.

“So it’s just a demonic beast trapped beneath this ancient well by the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha.”

The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth curled up slightly. Even so, with the power of a Divine Emperor Realm expert, he might not necessarily be able to threaten them.

But there was absolutely no doubt about the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s power. He was one of the Four Dimitrios Monkeys, a super existence of the same level as Dragon Shisan, even more powerful than the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the Qilin or the Black Tortoise. Something that the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha had imprisoned here could hardly be ordinary.

“This guy… is way too terrifying.”

Yao Hongchen swallowed, his face frighteningly dark. He felt that he had already been completely locked onto by the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. If this guy wanted to wipe him out, it would only take one move.

“You’re already trapped. What right do you have to show off in front of me? If you weren’t bound, maybe I’d be wary of you. But now, you don’t have that right at all.”

Jiang Chen said with a cold laugh, looking at the incomparably furious Scarlet-Ass Macaque. The two locked eyes, and in that clash of wills, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s rage was completely set off.

“You’re courting death. Trying to anger me is indeed good news for you, because you’ll die faster and more miserably.”

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque pounded his chest hard twice. The water within a thousand zhang churned like huge waves, making it extremely hard for Jiang Chen and Yao Hongchen even to keep their footing.

“Fall back!”

Jiang Chen shouted in a deep voice and quickly retreated. But at this moment, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque did not seem willing to let the two of them go. His giant palm slapped down, and a raging dragon-shaped curtain of water rose up to the sky and pounced straight at Jiang Chen and Yao Hongchen.

Yao Hongchen was instantly forced back. Jiang Chen also slashed out with his sword, tearing apart the raging dragon of water, and only then managed to steady himself. But countless water arrows drove him back again and again. The water arrows struck Jiang Chen’s body, leaving deep, terrible gashes. Blood stained the water red all the way to the bottom of the well.

Jiang Chen’s eyes grew colder and colder. This Scarlet-Ass Macaque was indeed powerful. The moment he struck, he had wounded Jiang Chen. Even if this guy could not possibly reach the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, he was definitely not someone a Half-step Divine Emperor expert could contend with.

Yao Hongchen had given it everything he had and only barely managed to save his life under the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s attack. Jiang Chen, however, did not intend to retreat just like that.

“Let’s go! This beast can’t be beaten.”

Yao Hongchen had already been scared out of his wits by this Scarlet-Ass Macaque, and his face was pale to the extreme.

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was one of the few most powerful ancient ferocious beasts between heaven and earth. Even divine beasts had to avoid his edge. Contending with this guy was simply courting death.

“If I don’t get past him, there’s no way to get the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring.”

Jiang Chen said flatly. Since he had already seen the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring, there was no reason to just leave.

“You’re a madman!”

Yao Hongchen could not help saying. Jiang Chen’s persistence was far too strong. He did not care about his own life at all. It seemed that even if it cost him his life, he would get the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring. Yao Hongchen could not hope to match that kind of drive.

“Go against me, and there’s only death for you!”

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque roared and threw a punch. A whirlwind rose, like a Vajra Poison Dragon Drill underwater, closing in on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen instantly used the Divine Golden Bell, but the underwater whirlwind, like a Vajra Poison Dragon Drill, tore it completely to shreds. Jiang Chen’s face grew uglier and uglier. He quickly retreated and blocked with the Heavenly Dragon Sword, but he was still gravely injured. That Vajra Poison Dragon Drill of water gave Jiang Chen a very hard time, and he was almost torn to pieces by the Scarlet-Ass Macaque.

Yao Hongchen gasped. This guy was simply too powerful. Just how strong he was, there was no way to know, but at times he was so strong that even a Divine Emperor might not be able to withstand his edge.

Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. Gripping the Heavenly Dragon Sword, his expression did not change at all as he faced the Scarlet-Ass Macaque head-on.

“You’ve made me completely furious.”

Jiang Chen roared. His whole aura rose abruptly. Jiang Chen transformed with Dragon Transformation, his body becoming incomparably huge, rising to a hundred zhang tall, exactly the same as the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. His terrifying momentum spread out in all directions at this moment. Not only did the extreme cold underwater fail to hinder Jiang Chen’s strength, it completely set off the fury in his heart. So what if he was a Scarlet-Ass Macaque? If he pushed Jiang Chen too far, even with heaven itself above, Jiang Chen would never let him off!
