Chapter 3174 – Luring the Enemy into the Ancient Well
Jiang Chen stood proudly, surrounded by eleven Half-step Divine Emperors. It could be said that he was in great danger, yet Jiang Chen was completely unafraid. It would be no easy matter for these guys to kill him.
Every one of them had an undying grudge with him, especially the people of Tianluo Temple. Wuyin the Enlightened and Shenyin the Enlightened wished they could send him down to the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reborn! As for the rest, they all hated Jiang Chen to the bone because of the Monk Tyrant.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was facing more than ten Half-step Divine Emperors alone, and he could be said to be surrounded by danger. Even though his strength was formidable, his opponents were no ordinary fighters either. Every one of them was among the best of their sects, palaces and temples. Not a single one of them was easy to deal with.
Jiang Chen knew that these guys could not possibly have only these few tricks. They were all definitely holding something back. After the Monk Tyrant had gone on a killing spree before, they had lost quite a few experts of the younger generation. They would never let the pillars of their temples risk their lives so lightly. They surely had a backup plan of their own. Every temple was determined to get the God Suppressing Monument. If they did not have a foolproof plan, how could they possibly have sent so many people into the Great Thunderclap Temple illusion to search for the Reincarnated Living Buddha?
Facing these guys alone was also extremely difficult for Jiang Chen. In a battle of life and death, he was not necessarily certain of victory.
“All you have is a sharp tongue. Jiang Chen, you brat, today our two great temples will join hands and we will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!”
Wuyin the Enlightened said calmly. He spoke of killing as lightly as a passing breeze, not caring at all that he was a member of the Buddhist faith.
“What the Enlightened of Tianluo Temple says is quite right. If we do not slay this wretch, it will be hard to vent the hatred in our hearts.”
Gao De the Enlightened gnashed his teeth and shouted in a deep voice. They were determined to put Jiang Chen to death. That way, no one would stand in their way anymore. The Reincarnated Living Buddha would definitely come back. They knew this very well, because the Reincarnated Living Buddha would never abandon Jiang Chen. The two of them were bound together in life and death. They had seen it with their own eyes.
“Amitabha. My respects, Wuyin the Enlightened. Slaying this wretch cannot be delayed. Everyone, make your move.”
Wu De the Enlightened said in a low voice. More than ten people all nodded in agreement and charged straight at Jiang Chen.
“Then let’s have a good fight. Hahaha.”
Jiang Chen laughed loudly. Holding the Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand, he fought ten Half-step Divine Emperors alone.
The Limitless Sword, the realm of the sword, kept rising in Jiang Chen’s hands. Fighting more than ten people alone, the pressure on him could well be imagined. Jiang Chen was forced back step by step, with no initiative at all, but he retreated and advanced with room to spare, giving them no chance whatsoever to suppress him.
After his breakthrough, Jiang Chen’s strength was no longer what it used to be. Even against that Scarlet-Ass Macaque, he could put up a fight. Now, facing more than ten Half-step Divine Emperors, although his situation was difficult, Jiang Chen could at least keep his footing and would not collapse like a routed army.
Jiang Chen moved like a raging dragon, sword in hand, as if singing as he strode along. Wuyin the Enlightened and Wu De the Enlightened charged at the front. They were the strongest of all. One wielded a staff, the other a whip, and both were incomparably powerful. Facing the two of them head-on, Jiang Chen had no opening at all and was completely locked in by them.
Wei Xiaolong, Shenyin the Enlightened, Gao De the Enlightened and the others followed closely behind, giving Jiang Chen no chance to fight back. More than ten Half-step Divine Emperor experts finally began to suppress Jiang Chen, so that he was no longer able to handle them with ease.
Jiang Chen moved with his sword, the sword shadows following him like his own shape. The Sword of Solitude, its sword intent solitary and unique!
“Sword of Solitude, Seventh Form, Sword Sweeping the Wind and Clouds!”
The terror of the Seventh Form of the Sword of Solitude had already surpassed the Fourteenth Sword. This was the last inheritance that Immortal Execution Great Emperor had passed on to him, but Jiang Chen could only barely unleash the seventh sword. This one sword was enough to sweep through the Nine Netherworlds and level the wind and clouds of the four seas!
More than ten Half-step Divine Emperor experts were all forced back a step. But these more than ten Half-step Divine Emperors closed in again in an instant, not giving Jiang Chen the slightest room to maneuver. In attack and defense alike, they did not relax in the least.
Gradually, it became only a matter of time before Jiang Chen would be suppressed by more than ten Half-step Divine Emperors. Relying on the terrifying power of the Sword of Solitude and the Limitless Sword, it was already quite remarkable that Jiang Chen had been able to hold on until now.
Now, even escaping with his life would probably be extremely difficult for Jiang Chen. He was held back at every step, and Wu De the Enlightened and Wuyin the Enlightened would never give Jiang Chen the slightest chance to catch his breath.
Jiang Chen’s face was ashen. Under the suppression of more than ten Half-step Divine Emperors, the space in which he could move was getting smaller and smaller. Once so many people joined forces and fought in an orderly manner, he would inevitably fall into an extremely passive position. Jiang Chen had already been hit several times in a row. Although none of the wounds were fatal, if this went on, he would surely fall into an abyss from which there was no return.
Jiang Chen’s expression turned stern. His sword momentum suddenly changed, opening wide and sweeping broadly. However, Jiang Chen still could not unleash the Fifteenth Sword. The support of the Limitless Sword could only let him unleash the Fourteenth Sword. As for any higher level of sword intent, it was more and more difficult.
“Kid, let’s see how long you can hold out.”
Wu De the Enlightened lashed his whip at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen turned his blade, but was knocked back by Wu De the Enlightened. The powerful impact threw his footwork into disarray and left him in a dilemma.
Wuyin the Enlightened took advantage of the moment and clashed palms with Jiang Chen. Both of them were pushed back, but Jiang Chen had no way to retreat, because what awaited him were even more and fiercer attacks, coming one after another.
Jiang Chen was attacked from the front and back, and his situation was extremely difficult.
Jiang Chen let out a furious roar. One body became nine, nine bodies battling the eight desolate lands! He had already been pushed to the point where he had no other way, so he had to fight with his life on the line.
The appearance of nine Jiang Chens filled them with shock, but Wuyin the Enlightened and the others had been prepared for this.
“There’s no need to be afraid. He can’t hold on for long. Once the time is up, he won’t have the strength to keep up the power of the nine bodies, and he will be defeated without a doubt.”
Shenyin the Enlightened said with a cold smile.
Only then did Wu De the Enlightened and the others come to their senses.
But this time, Jiang Chen did not use his nine bodies to fight them all head-on. He wanted to use the opportunity to set up a formation. The experts he was fighting now were not ordinary experts. With his current strength, it was indeed impossible to defeat these guys cleanly. Every one of them was terribly shrewd. So Jiang Chen could only trap them with a formation. The Ashura Sword Formation would certainly make them taste bitter suffering.
But they would never give Jiang Chen so many chances, so he could only keep looking for an opening. In a desperate situation of life and death, he could only rely on himself.
“Let’s get into the ancient well first.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up. Inside the ancient well, all of their strength would be suppressed by the extreme cold. When that time came, things would not be so hard for Jiang Chen. Combined with his sword formation, it would even be possible to kill them.
Most importantly, down at the bottom of the ancient well, that Scarlet-Ass Macaque would definitely become his helper. Although he was furious with everyone, precisely because of this, Wuyin the Enlightened and the others would certainly have a hard time getting out alive.
