Dragon-Marked War God

“This eminent monk saved us. If we just walk away like this, what would that make us? Sun Xiaolong, you’re really too disappointing.”

Wu Zhentian shook his head.

Tantai Jingzang also glanced at him, her expression cold, and said nothing.

“Awoo—woo woo woo—”

After a low roar from the giant spider, not far behind it, ten more Half-step Divine Emperor giant spiders actually appeared, and their strength was all on par with it.

This scene made the faces of Wu Zhentian, Sun Xiaolong and the others change drastically. Especially those Mid Hierarch experts, who were so frightened that their whole bodies were trembling. Of the nearly thirty Mid Hierarch experts, only a third were left now. Their journey into the Desolate Divine Land could be said to be extremely hard, every step a struggle.

“Another ten Half-step Divine Emperor giant spiders!”

Tantai Jingzang narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice. She had thought that once they drove back that giant spider they would be saved, but she had not expected ten more giant spiders to appear. It was just too terrifying. The Desolate Divine Land truly deserved to be ranked alongside the Forbidden Divine Land as a land of death. Unlike the Earth Divine Land and the Ancient Divine Land, the Forbidden Divine Land and the Desolate Divine Land were known as the most terrifying regions. Almost no one could walk out of them alive.

If it were not for an extremely important matter this time, they would never have put themselves in danger. Although they had made thorough preparations, the result was still hard to accept. With more than half of them dead or wounded, their journey had also been greatly hindered.

“You go first. Leave this to us.”

Qing Xuan said in a deep voice, glancing at Tantai Jingzang and the others.

“No, how can we let the master and the rest of you put yourselves in danger for us? If we did that, this old man would be deeply ashamed.”

Wu Zhentian said in a deep voice, flatly refusing to leave. Although they were facing the pressure of these ten giant spiders, they could not be ungrateful.

“You’d better go first. The master should be able to handle it.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile. These ten giant spiders were not that terrifying. They only looked quite hard to deal with. With his strength and the Monk Tyrant’s, dealing with them was not difficult. Having these people here would only get in the way, since they would also have to look after them.

“You’re only at the Late Hierarch Realm. What right do you have to speak? The master is risking everything to save us now. How could we just leave? I, Tantai Jingzang, am definitely not someone who clings to life and fears death. If you’re afraid, you’re free to leave.”

Tantai Jingzang glanced at Jiang Chen. His strength was the weakest, yet he dared to talk big. It made her somewhat indignant. The master was surrounded by danger. She absolutely could not leave just like that.

“Hahaha, isn’t that right? Little Chen, with your bit of strength, you’d better just stand aside and enjoy the show.”

The Monk Tyrant was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. Jiang Chen pointed at the Monk Tyrant with a smile. Although the monk’s words carried a faint hint of mockery, he was telling Jiang Chen that there was no need for him to make a move right now. With his own strength alone, he could completely hold these guys off.

Jiang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had not expected to be looked down on. But he could not be bothered to explain. Now it seemed that by deciding to help, he had saved a few people who knew the meaning of loyalty and gratitude.

“Then… Big Brother Jiang, you just rest first. The monk and I are enough to handle these guys.”

Qing Xuan also had a wry smile at the corner of her mouth. Little did Tantai Jingzang know that the person she looked down on most was actually the strongest among them.

“Hey, kid, just stay here and behave. If you’re weak, don’t try to be a hero. Hahaha.”

In the end, even Fire Qilin teased Jiang Chen before quickly making his move. The three of them took on eleven giant spiders without the slightest fear.

“Buddy, since we’re weak, let’s just stay out of the way. How does my strength compare to yours? Isn’t it even stronger than yours? But in a fight between these Half-step Divine Emperor experts, I can’t help at all. The gap between the Half-step Divine Emperors and us is just too big. It’s a chasm that’s hard to cross.”

Sun Xiaolong sighed. He had originally been planning to run, but unfortunately Wu Zhentian and Tantai Jingzang completely disagreed, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and stay.

“You have a point.”

Jiang Chen nodded, deeply agreeing, and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at the Monk Tyrant and the others. Right now, against the eleven giant spiders, they were still handling it with ease. Led by the Monk Tyrant, Fire Qilin spewed out his fury, sweeping across heaven and earth without any fear. Qing Xuan stood on a green lotus and soared up, fighting the beasts without backing down.

Countless spider webs covered the void. Strands of web comparable to vajra gossamer covered everyone, almost completely sealing off their way out. But Fire Qilin charged in front and burned the webs with his Qilin beast fire, without any fear. The three of them fought happily with the dozen or so giant spiders. The two sides traded blows back and forth, and one could not see the Monk Tyrant and the others under the slightest pressure.

“These people are all true top-tier experts. The one holding the green sword and that Fire Qilin may not be much weaker than you, and that unconventional master is truly a peerless genius you’d rarely meet in ten thousand years. In the Tantai Family, only you can be compared with him. But right now, you’re no match for him yet.”

Wu Zhentian said in a deep voice, an earth-shaking fighting spirit erupting in his eyes.

“They were drawn into this battle to save us. We absolutely can’t stand by and do nothing. If we did, how could our Tantai Family ever hold its head up in the future?”

Wu Zhentian’s snow-white eyebrows rose slightly and he said coldly. He glanced at Tantai Jingzang and entered the battle first.

Tantai Jingzang’s expression was cold. Her strength was no weaker than Qing Xuan’s. At this moment, she also had to join in as soon as possible so that these giant spiders could be killed quickly. The longer it dragged on, the more likely something would go wrong. No one knew whether these giant spiders would have more helpers, and every one of them was a Half-step Divine Emperor, which no one dared to underestimate. The experts they had brought were nothing but cannon fodder in front of these giant spiders.

“The weak should know their place as the weak. You don’t understand the world of the strong at all.”

Tantai Jingzang glanced at Jiang Chen and said in a deep voice. She turned around, stepped into the air and joined the battle directly to help the Monk Tyrant and the others.

Jiang Chen rubbed his nose and shrugged helplessly. He looked at Sun Xiaolong beside him and said.

“Do I really look that weak?”

“In my eyes, I could defeat you with one palm, let alone Tantai Jingzang. You have no idea how formidable Tantai Jingzang is.”

Sun Xiaolong glanced at Jiang Chen disdainfully, then looked at Tantai Jingzang, who had risen up to fight. His eyes were full of admiration and love.
