Chapter 3193 – Evil Cannot Prevail Over Good
In that moment, Jiang Chen stood proudly, looking coldly at everyone. Right under everyone’s noses, he had actually rescued both the Monk Tyrant and Fire Qilin and tossed them into the formation behind him.
This scene made everyone sit up. Could this guy still have the strength to fight? At least Wu De the Enlightened and the others did not believe it. Jiang Chen was already on his last breath, struggling in his death throes. Making a move now was nothing more than a forced flap or two of his wings. As for really changing the course of the battle, that was out of the question.
Although the six great Golden Body Arhats had been badly wounded, Jiang Chen had not gained anything from it either. If Jiang Chen wanted to turn the tide now, it was nothing but a pipe dream. No matter how strong he was, it would be of no use.
“Does he really think he’s some kind of savior? Humph. At a time like this, he’s still struggling in his death throes.”
“It can’t be denied that Jiang Chen’s strength really is extraordinary. But now he has no chance at all. At least Kasyapa Temple won’t give him any chance.”
“He’s not qualified to protect the Reincarnated Living Buddha.”
“Let’s see how Kasyapa Temple deals with this kid. I can’t wait to see this bastard Jiang Chen executed by the experts of Kasyapa Temple and left to die without a burial place.”
Dou Bai and the others chimed in one after another, gloating from the side. There was no longer any chance that Jiang Chen’s strength could turn things around, so they did not have to worry about any accident happening. It was just that their chance of getting the Reincarnated Living Buddha had become far too slim. Kasyapa Temple stood alone at the top, and now no one dared to contend with them.
“A centipede with a hundred legs doesn’t fall even when it dies. Do you still want to oppose us? Humph.”
Venerable Anan said with a cold face and glanced at Jiang Chen. He did not take Jiang Chen seriously at all. A Late Hierarch was not worth fearing in front of them at all, let alone one who was already badly wounded. Even if he could still fight now, how big a wave could he stir up?
For the people of Kasyapa Temple, Jiang Chen’s appearance was nothing more than an interlude. The one who could truly change the situation would not be a defeated straggler like him.
“Little Chen!”
The Monk Tyrant said with a dark face, extremely worried in his heart. Jiang Chen had rescued him, but what was Jiang Chen going to do himself? When Jiang Chen faced the six great Golden Body Arhats earlier, he had already been completely exhausted. How could he have any strength left to fight now? Now that Jiang Chen was fighting all these heroes alone, it was basically certain to be a desperate fight to the death. But the Monk Tyrant did not want to see this. For them, this might be Jiang Chen’s final song.
Although the Monk Tyrant did not want to think this way, the outcome was not hard to imagine. He and Jiang Chen were both about to run dry like lamps out of oil. Who would come to save them at a time like this? The heavens themselves?
“Don’t worry. I won’t die anytime soon.”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, but the Monk Tyrant felt extremely heartbroken. If not for him, Jiang Chen would not be in such a sorry state and would not have nearly been killed. With his current strength, he could laugh proudly at the whole world. Any sect would surely scramble to recruit him. But because of the monk, Jiang Chen had wasted a wonderful future and fallen into a predicament where his life or death was uncertain.
The Monk Tyrant knew he should not think so much. After all, they were brothers. But it was an undeniable fact. It was entirely his fault that Jiang Chen had been dragged into this place of eternal doom. The Monk Tyrant’s heart was full of guilt.
“You won’t die, but you can’t change the current situation either.”
Venerable Jianan said calmly, looking coldly at Jiang Chen. He had not expected that this most unremarkable guy would make a move at this time. Jiang Chen’s Great Void Technique had truly shocked them. His moves were as fast as lightning and his figure was blurred. No one could catch his trail.
“That’s not necessarily so.”
Jiang Chen also said coldly. Venerable Jianan’s confidence seemed to be inborn. To them, dealing with Jiang Chen was an extremely ordinary matter. How much could a man about to die possibly do?
“Amitabha. Are you really not afraid of death?”
Venerable Jianan smiled faintly. Jiang Chen’s resoluteness let him see a madman living deep in his heart. This guy was no pushover. He would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. As long as he still had a breath left, he would absolutely not submit to them. Jiang Chen was not afraid of death. In Jiang Chen’s eyes he saw a trace of contempt, and that was what shocked Venerable Jianan most. Did this guy really want to defy heaven and change fate to save this Reincarnated Living Buddha? He was truly overestimating himself.
“I won’t die.”
Jiang Chen said very seriously, looking coldly at everyone.
“Jiang Chen, do you think you’re really some peerless hero? Humph. You’re a madman, a brain-damaged idiot. It clearly had nothing to do with you, yet you insisted on getting involved. You were clearly an expert invited by our Zhongsheng Temple, yet you insisted on ruining yourself. Now you’re a dead man walking and you still haven’t woken up. You really are a complete fool.”
Yuan De the Enlightened said with a cold smile. All along the way, Jiang Chen should not have become the Reincarnated Living Buddha’s helper, and should not have ended up on the opposite side from them. But reality was extremely cruel. He had walked step by step into the abyss, and no one could save him.
“What’s the use of such high-sounding words? I go my own way. Who can stop me? None of you are even qualified to wipe my brother the monk’s backside. What gives you the right to point fingers here? And haven’t all of you been defeated by me?”
Jiang Chen’s face was completely cold. Yuan De the Enlightened’s face darkened. Jiang Chen really was too strong. All of them had been defeated by Jiang Chen. This was truly very shameful, very humiliating.
“If the experts of Kasyapa Temple hadn’t stepped in, maybe you really could have been the final winner. But things didn’t go your way. The experts of Kasyapa Temple will definitely let you know who the final victor is. Remember this: though evil rises a foot, the Dao rises ten. Evil cannot prevail over good. You will never be able to defeat us.”
Wuyin the Enlightened’s face was gloomy. Although they were not the ones who had defeated Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would surely die, and they could go on living. That was the best outcome.
“You talk as if you were the embodiment of justice. Then why are you so weak? You still have to rely on others. The Reincarnated Living Buddha is falling into someone else’s hands, and you’re not even qualified to compete for the God Suppressing Monument, yet you’re all still so arrogant and so happy. Once you go back to your sects, I doubt the pressure and punishment you’ll have to bear will be much better, right? You’re all so happy now, but I think you’re just full of yourselves. A bunch of guys who only know how to run their mouths. Trash is trash. In the Divine World, strength is everything, and being weak is the original sin! In my eyes, which one of you isn’t a pile of trash? Hahaha!”
Jiang Chen’s gaze was icy. His words made Wuyin the Enlightened and the others flush red with shame, unable to say anything. Every one of these guys was pleased with themselves, but what Jiang Chen said was the truth. After they went back, the punishment they would suffer might be even more serious than their current injuries. Never mind failing to win in the end, apart from Kasyapa Temple, which force had not suffered heavy losses? And all of it was thanks to Jiang Chen.
“You want to show off to the crowd, but it seems you’re nothing special. Today I will definitely make you die without a burial place. Evil cannot prevail over good!”
Venerable Anan said with disdain, mocking Jiang Chen again and again. At this time, they were destined to be the final victors. No one could change the current situation. Did Jiang Chen think they were all fools, hoping to catch them off guard?
