Chapter 3176 – The Only Chance in Hundreds of Millions of Years
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque gave everyone a tremendous shock. With a single palm he had slapped Gao De the Enlightened to death, body and spirit destroyed. It was too horrible to look at. And most importantly, Gao De the Enlightened had been suppressed and frozen by Jiang Chen, leaving him completely helpless. When the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s attack happened to land on Gao De, it was only natural that he was wiped out, body and spirit.
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque ignored everyone, and his attacks had no particular target. He had killed Gao De the Enlightened only because Gao De was the only one he could hit. But in Wu De the Enlightened’s eyes, the real culprit was still Jiang Chen. If not for Jiang Chen, Gao De the Enlightened would not have been frozen, so how could he have died?
“This Scarlet-Ass Macaque is too terrifying. Everyone, stay away from him!”
Wuyin the Enlightened sucked in a cold breath. All of them were in an extremely difficult position. Jiang Chen’s tricks were endless. This guy was playing hide-and-seek with them and using the Scarlet-Ass Macaque to attack them. Because he was only one person, he had nothing to worry about. But they had many people. If they were the least bit careless and the Scarlet-Ass Macaque seized an opening, Jiang Chen would follow up at once, and then it would be certain death.
“What a vicious and ruthless guy!”
Wei Xiaolong was deeply shaken. Now Jiang Chen was facing so many people alone, and he had not shown the slightest slackness. Did this guy really intend to fight them to the very end? The situation now was hard to call. Gao De the Enlightened’s strength had been no weaker than his own, yet he had died at the hands of the Scarlet-Ass Macaque after being frozen by Jiang Chen. That was what was truly terrifying.
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque kept pounding his chest, showing his present rage and irritation. Gao De the Enlightened’s death had stirred up the fury in his heart even more.
“Jiang Chen, I’m going to tear you into ten thousand pieces! If you have guts, don’t run!”
Wu De the Enlightened and Gao De the Enlightened had cultivated together since they were children. As senior and junior brothers, they were as close as hands and feet. Now that Gao De the Enlightened had been killed, he put all his anger on Jiang Chen. Although the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was the one who had killed Gao De the Enlightened, the one who had started it all was without a doubt Jiang Chen!
If Jiang Chen had not entered the ancient well, if Gao De the Enlightened had not been frozen, none of this would have happened.
“You wanted to kill me and got killed by me instead. What is there to complain about? He who kills will be killed. Isn’t that your own truth? Are only you allowed to kill me, and I’m not allowed to kill you? Hahaha. What a fine cycle of heavenly justice, what a fine justice from the heavens.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes were sharp, like light and like a sword. He swept his gaze over everyone and said coldly.
“All of you are going to die!”
At this moment, Jiang Chen’s Ashura Sword Formation had been completely set up.
“You want to kill us all? Aren’t you a little too full of yourself? Do you think you’re a Divine Emperor Realm expert?”
Wuyin the Enlightened said coldly. Although Gao De the Enlightened had been killed, they still held the upper hand. It would not be that easy for Jiang Chen to escape with his life.
“A Divine Emperor Realm expert? No, I’m not. But even a Divine Emperor Realm expert might not be able to escape from the palm of my hand.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold. He retreated, then his palm moved, and everything within a thousand zhang of the underwater world was completely sealed off by the Ashura Sword Formation. In that moment, everyone felt sword qi after terrifying sword qi pointing straight at their hearts.
“What a terrifying formation!”
Wei Xiaolong looked up and saw that he was already inside the sword formation. Everyone felt immense pressure.
“How is this possible? This formation is so terrifying. Can he really be the one who set it up?”
Wuyin the Enlightened still did not believe it. But believing it or not, the formation had been completed. Even the Scarlet-Ass Macaque felt a trace of unease.
“Despicable human, all you know are crooked tricks. I don’t care about any formation.”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque said coldly, staring fixedly at Jiang Chen. He did not care, but that did not mean these people did not care either. The people of Tianluo Temple and Vajra Temple all felt tremendous pressure. The sword formation was so terrifying that even before it was set in motion, they were already having trouble breathing.
“Then let’s see how much you weigh.”
Jiang Chen said with a cold smile. This time, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was also inside the Ashura Sword Formation, but Jiang Chen could not be sure whether the Scarlet-Ass Macaque could escape it.
“Ghost Prison Ashura Sword Formation, activate!”
Jiang Chen moved his palm, and the sword formation started up. Countless swords rained down from the sky. Shock was written all over everyone’s faces. Within the curtain of water, sword light shot in all directions, setting off a chain of underwater whirlpools that left them unable to open their eyes. Sword light flew everywhere and waves of qi rolled. Inside the Ashura Sword Formation, everyone faced it as if facing a great enemy!
“Roar! Roar, roar!”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque kept roaring furiously. Where the rain of swords fell on his body, bursts of dazzling light erupted. Although they could not break through the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s defense, they made him extremely uncomfortable, and he kept dodging the rain of swords.
On the other side, the people of Tianluo Temple and Vajra Temple were in a very hard spot. Every step was a struggle, and every move left them badly wounded.
Except for Wu De the Enlightened and Wuyin the Enlightened, everyone had been hit by the sword rain and seriously injured. Most importantly, they could not possibly resist for long. Perhaps they would soon die with ten thousand swords piercing their hearts.
“Arhat Holy Light!”
Wu De the Enlightened clenched his teeth and shouted furiously. A wave of lapis lazuli light rippled out. The Arhat Holy Light protected everyone within it. This time, Wu De the Enlightened could be said to have used a trump card he had kept at the bottom of his chest, because Jiang Chen’s Ashura Sword Formation was simply too terrifying. Without the Arhat Holy Light, they could not have withstood it at all.
This Arhat Holy Light had been given to him by the abbot, and it could only be used three times. It had been left behind by the Arhat experts of the Great Thunderclap Temple of old. It was supremely powerful, usable both for attack and for defense.
Under the Arhat Holy Light, everyone was sheltered. For a while, the Ashura sword rain was greatly countered. Jiang Chen frowned. This guy really did have quite a few tricks.
Jiang Chen did his utmost to hold up the Ashura Sword Formation. But the Arhat Holy Light could not last long either. As long as he broke that Arhat Holy Light, they would still have no chance at all.
Like Jiang Chen’s Ashura Sword Formation, the Arhat Holy Light needed one’s own strength as its foundation in order to become powerful when unleashed. That Arhat Holy Light was even stronger than Wu De the Enlightened had imagined, but that also meant the divine origin strength needed to sustain it was immense.
The Arhat Holy Light grew weaker and weaker, and Wu De the Enlightened’s body grew weaker and weaker too. In the end, it was broken by Jiang Chen’s Ashura sword rain. Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
But at this very moment, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, who had no Arhat Holy Light protecting him, had the chains on his hands and feet broken through by sword after sword of that rain. It was the sword rain of the Heavenly Dragon Sword. Although there were not many of those swords, the sword rain of the Heavenly Dragon Sword was so powerful that it made the Scarlet-Ass Macaque extremely uncomfortable.
The Heavenly Dragon Sword’s sword rain struck the chains that had bound him for hundreds of millions of years, and the chains were cut clean through. Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Sword was that terrifying!
In this moment, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was overjoyed! This was his only chance in hundreds of millions of years!
