Dragon-Marked War God

The black dragons retreated and the light of heaven was restored.

The whole world became clear once again. White clouds drifted by and a gentle breeze blew!

The wind and sand were still there, but the sky was no longer covered in black clouds, nor was it gloomy and oppressive anymore.

“Monk!”

Qing Xuan cried out, her beautiful eyes shining with an unusual light. When the Monk Tyrant slowly stood up, her heart trembled too. Full of endless hope, she rushed to the Monk Tyrant.

“You’re finally awake.”

Qing Xuan let out a long breath. All the waiting, all the worry, had been worth it, because the Monk Tyrant at this moment had completely become the way she liked him.

“I think I had a dream!”

The Monk Tyrant murmured.

“What dream?”

Qing Xuan asked in surprise.

“I dreamed of a man standing on a black lotus. He wanted to kill me and stirred up a horde of demons to dance wildly, but he was driven back by my holy light.”

The Monk Tyrant said in a deep voice.

“That wasn’t a dream!”

Qing Xuan said, deeply shocked inside. Did he really know nothing about what had just happened? It was as if he had been in a trance, in a daze, the whole time.

“You mean someone really wanted to kill me?”

The Monk Tyrant raised his head, but above him was only clear blue sky. There was nothing there anymore.

“Perhaps. But what happened just now was really too dangerous.”

Qing Xuan said. Even now, she still had lingering fear.

“Little Chen! I have to go find Little Chen right away. I absolutely can’t let him bear all of this alone. If not for him, I would probably have died long ago. Now I’m back. Little Chen, we can fight side by side again. Those who once made us bow our heads will never be reborn for all eternity.”

The Monk Tyrant clenched his fists. At this moment, there was not the slightest air of a monk about him. Now, he was like a completely different person from the Monk Tyrant of before. Right now, all he wanted was to kill, and to see that his brother was all right. That was all.

“All right!”

Qing Xuan nodded. There was no time to waste. The two of them quickly left the place and set out on the road in search of Jiang Chen.

…

At the foot of a great mountain, a mountain stream fell ten thousand zhang. Waterfalls poured sideways, flooding the Spirit Mountain with towering waves.

Jiang Chen rode the waves. Spray crashed down around him, and everything before his eyes was clear. The dark clouds had scattered, and his great escape across ten thousand miles had become even clearer.

Jiang Chen had raced across tens of millions of miles, but for several years, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque had never given up the chase. They had fought seven times, and each time had ended with Jiang Chen defeated and escaping with his life.

Every time, Jiang Chen had been in a desperate situation of life and death, yet he had always been able to turn danger into safety. In seven battles, although he had lost every one of them, the experience Jiang Chen gained grew with each one. His physical strength, his control of divine origin strength and his combat experience had all improved enormously.

It had to be said that in these few years, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque had trained Jiang Chen in the art of running for his life. Jiang Chen was actually becoming more and more excited, though each time was full of danger. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s Early Divine Emperor strength was no joke. The slightest carelessness and Jiang Chen could be completely wiped out, swallowed in a single bite.

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was also extremely furious. Each time, he seemed to see the hope of victory, but each time the duck that was already cooked managed to fly away. That was what was most infuriating.

“Damn you, I’m definitely going to eat you!”

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was beside himself with rage. He stomped across the huge waves. Wherever he passed, rocks tumbled down and waterfalls were cut off. Every one of his attacks made mountains collapse and the earth split. Again and again Jiang Chen fled, and again and again he was chased by the Scarlet-Ass Macaque.

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s rage at Jiang Chen was only one reason. What he valued even more was Jiang Chen’s body. The Myriad Qi Body was extremely useful to him. As long as he devoured Jiang Chen and absorbed the Myriad Qi Body, his strength would recover rapidly, and he might even climb to a higher level.

That was the real reason the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was chasing Jiang Chen.

“You want to kill me? Buddy, it’s not that simple.”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, retreating in order to advance. In these few years, he had tasted every kind of hardship. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque had made life extremely miserable for him, but he had also benefited greatly from it. Jiang Chen knew very well that killing the Scarlet-Ass Macaque with his strength alone was simply too difficult. A peerless great demon beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements was by no means that easy to deal with. On top of that, he had Early Divine Emperor fighting strength. Once the Scarlet-Ass Macaque unleashed his power, even some Mid Divine Emperor experts would probably have to avoid his edge.

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s strength was gradually becoming stable. From the floating instability at the start, it had begun to become as steady as Mount Tai. Jiang Chen knew that if he let the Scarlet-Ass Macaque keep recovering like this, his own chances would become slimmer and slimmer. By then, there would probably be few in the whole world who could match him.

“Monk, I wonder where you are now?”

Jiang Chen murmured, thinking of the monk. He wondered whether his body had recovered by now. The green lamp of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring should be enough to give him a new life.

“Be destroyed!”

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque charged forward, his giant palm turning the sky over and cutting off the flowing water. Above the waterfall, Jiang Chen slashed down with his sword. Sword of Solitude, Sword Sweeping the Wind and Clouds. When the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s giant palm met Jiang Chen’s sword qi, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was forced back a step, but Jiang Chen’s sword qi also scattered in an instant.

The Scarlet-Ass Macaque pressed his advantage and drove Jiang Chen straight into a mountain gorge ten thousand zhang deep, to the edge of the canyon.

Under the Dragon Transformation, Jiang Chen’s body grew into a hundred-zhang form, just like the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s. He braced himself in the gorge with one palm. Jiang Chen raised his hand and broke through the air, and heaven and earth changed color. He clashed head-on with the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. When their palms separated, Jiang Chen was pressed down into the ten-thousand-zhang gorge.

At the bottom of the gorge, heavy snow sealed off the mountains. The wind wailed, and gales howled as they swept past. The mountain wind was like a blade, tearing apart the rocks.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, his expression extremely stern. In the blink of an eye, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque also came down from the sky and pressed straight down on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen struck out with both palms, holding up against the Scarlet-Ass Macaque with all his might, but the Scarlet-Ass Macaque came down on him with the weight of a thousand jin and forced him more than ten zhang deep into the rock. His whole body was pinned down.

“What a ruthless move!”

Jiang Chen shouted furiously. Sword shadows blurred, and sword qi a hundred zhang long cut across the void and forced the Scarlet-Ass Macaque back. He struck the bottom of the canyon with one palm and retreated.

On the great snow mountain, several characters in Sanskrit were written across it, carrying a faint Buddhist aura.

But at this moment, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was stunned. He stopped his attack and murmured.

“This is… the Spirit Vulture Cave of the Great Snow Mountain?”

“Isn’t that where the present Buddha, the Tathagata, attained the Great Dao?”

Jiang Chen frowned deeply. Although he did not know much about Buddhist matters, he had heard of the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment.

“Legend has it that the Buddha has already passed away. Could there be treasures of the Buddha in this Spirit Vulture Cave of the Great Snow Mountain?”

Jiang Chen thought to himself. This Scarlet-Ass Macaque also seemed extremely interested in the Spirit Vulture Cave of the Great Snow Mountain. For the moment, it seemed he could not even be bothered with Jiang Chen. Although Jiang Chen had the Myriad Qi Body, it was not the rarest thing in the world. But the Buddha was one of the most formidable figures under heaven. If one could obtain something left behind by the Buddha, wouldn’t that be incredible?

A sharp light flashed in the Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s eyes. He was already eager to go in and see what was inside!
