Chapter 3168 – Arrivals Underwater
Jiang Chen transformed into a half-dragon and rose upward. A terrifying wave of force rippled out through the water. His golden dragon claws tore apart the space of the waters. Jiang Chen’s dragon claw and the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s fist crashed into each other. Jiang Chen’s whole body shook, and his face turned extremely grave. The two of them were actually evenly matched. But Jiang Chen could feel that as that terrifying wave of force rolled out, his situation was even harder than the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s.
The buoyancy helped Jiang Chen steady himself. The single exchange between the two was extremely terrifying, setting off huge waves that almost overturned the whole bottom of the water, as if the earth were shaking and the mountains swaying. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque roared again and again, spewing out his fury.
“Bastard! You actually have the fortune of the Dragon race on you. But even so, standing against me, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, is impossible!”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque roared and charged again. Although he was bound by chains, his range of movement was still quite large. Within at least a thousand zhang, he had no problem at all.
His hundred-zhang body shot straight up, rising into the air. Mount Tai Crushing Down!
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque leapt up, treading on the waves. The water beneath his feet was shattered all the way to the bottom. Jiang Chen’s face was extremely grave as well. This terrifying guy was truly too frightening. His Mount Tai Crushing Down came with unstoppable force, crashing into Jiang Chen like celestial bodies colliding. Yao Hongchen watched with a livid face, gasping inwardly. Luckily he had not kept trying to show off in front of Jiang Chen, or he probably would not have escaped Jiang Chen’s killing intent. These two giants were both as strong as Divine Emperors!
Although Jiang Chen was a little weaker and his attacks had not reached the level of a Divine Emperor Realm expert, he was not afraid in the slightest. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s fists came like the wind, with the roar of tigers and the cry of dragons, one after another, making the bottom of the water churn. It was extremely terrifying. Every one of Jiang Chen’s punches landed solidly on flesh, and he did not back down at all. The two kept crashing into each other. No techniques, no divine weapons or treasured blades, and no terrifying heavenly might bearing down, only the most basic, frenzied blows. Jiang Chen’s physical strength was not the slightest bit inferior to the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s, and the recovery from the Myriad Qi let him stay almost undefeated as he fought the Scarlet-Ass Macaque to the death.
However, in the end, Jiang Chen had underestimated the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. Or rather, this guy’s state of being strong one moment and weak the next had fooled Jiang Chen. The two exchanged dozens of moves. At the bottom of the water, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and boulders cracked apart. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque grew fiercer the more he fought, his momentum swallowing the sky. Although Jiang Chen was not the slightest bit inferior, under the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s onslaught he still lost the initiative and began to fall on the defensive.
Jiang Chen proceeded step by step, steadying himself. In an instant, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s charge actually reached the attacking power of a Divine Emperor Realm expert, putting Jiang Chen in an extremely dangerous situation. He was forced back again and again. His steps grew disordered. At the bottom of the water, every step was hard, every inch perilous.
With his half-dragon body, his momentum like a rainbow, Jiang Chen did not fear danger and charged several times. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque blocked him with sheer strength every time and gave Jiang Chen no chance at all. The fight between the two grew more and more terrifying. Yao Hongchen watched in a daze, but he could not make a move. The green lotuses were behind the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. With the two of them fighting, he had no chance at all to slip in and take the spirit spring in the chaos.
Jiang Chen’s gaze blazed like a torch. He held the Cold River Stone, which came crushing down like a peerless mountain peak. In this extremely cold ancient well, the Cold River Stone grew more and more powerful. Jiang Chen could already control the Cold River Stone in a simple way. Although he could not necessarily unleash the power that the Destructive Ice God had back then, it could not be underestimated either.
The Cold River Stone had to be a Great Emperor’s divine weapon, its lingering might still there. Jiang Chen smashed it at the Scarlet-Ass Macaque again and again, and both of them let out roar after roar. The waves and whirlwinds at the bottom of the water went on and on, and the whole area beneath the ancient well, across tens of thousands of zhang, shook violently.
The extreme cold of the Cold River Stone froze the bottom of the water again and again, trying to freeze the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, but every attempt ended in failure. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was simply too powerful to be frozen. A single punch shattered ice that had lasted ten thousand ages, its might soaring across the world.
“Damn human, you’re courting death! Behold the might of a divine monkey!”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque roared again and again. He had not even been able to kill a mere Hierarch, and this guy was giving him a terrible headache. It was utterly infuriating.
How could a mere Hierarch possibly suppress him? This human was simply dreaming. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque swung his heavy fists, every punch astonishing, tearing the space of the waters apart. Water dragons burst out one after another and went straight at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s face was cold. He used the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique again, and his momentum was no different from that of a Divine Emperor Realm expert. Facing the underwater raging dragons charging at him one after another, Jiang Chen used sheer strength to break all methods, shattering one water dragon with each punch. The distance between the two grew closer and closer. The battle between Jiang Chen and the Scarlet-Ass Macaque had pulled the waters across ten thousand zhang into an underwater whirlpool. That invisible pulling force made things extremely hard even for Yao Hongchen.
“These two guys are way too abnormal.”
Yao Hongchen said in a deep voice. He had fallen back again and again, but the ten-thousand-zhang whirlpool produced by the fight between the two was already enough to tear apart a Hierarch expert. Even if he stayed here, it would probably become extremely difficult.
Right at this moment, Jiang Chen frowned and his expression turned stern. His Emperor Realm soul probed out from here and sensed several extremely powerful figures who had already entered the ancient well.
“It looks like someone’s already here.”
Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
At this point, Jiang Chen did not intend to keep fighting this Scarlet-Ass Macaque. The identities of these guys were unknown. He did not know who they were. If they had come with bad intentions, he would be trapped and attacked from both sides.
“Go to hell!”
Jiang Chen threw a punch and traded blows with the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, while he himself was knocked back. He deliberately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body instantly turned back into human form.
“Hahaha, no one is a match for me, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. Clueless guy.”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque laughed wildly as he looked at the defeated Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen fell back to avoid his edge and quickly slipped into the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. Seeing this, Yao Hongchen’s face changed drastically. How had Jiang Chen suddenly disappeared? He could not stay here any longer either, so he quickly flashed away and vanished as well.
“Running away the moment you lose, what kind of hero is that? What I, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, look down on most is cowards like you. Humans, not a single one of you is any good. Hmph.”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque kept pounding his chest, stirring up whirlpool after whirlpool at the bottom of the water and churning the waters across ten thousand zhang.
At this moment, ten thousand zhang underwater, things had only just calmed down when more than ten figures arrived one after another. Inside the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Truly, enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. These people were none other than Wuyin the Enlightened and the others, six Half-step Divine Emperors, as well as several Late Hierarch experts. Their appearance was instantly noticed by the Scarlet-Ass Macaque.
