Dragon-Marked War God

“I hope you won’t get in the way.”

Tantai Jingzang glanced at Jiang Chen. His appearance at this time obviously made Tantai Jingzang feel she would have to hold back. She hoped they would not end up losing their good position just to save him.

“That’s exactly what I wanted to say to you.”

Jiang Chen smiled calmly and turned to look at the Monk Tyrant and the others.

“You all fall back first. Let them have a taste of my Five Elemental Divine Fire.”

A cold smile curled at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth.

“All right!”

The Monk Tyrant, Fire Qilin and Qing Xuan looked at each other and quickly flashed away. At this moment, it was Tantai Jingzang and Wu Zhentian who were left somewhat dumbfounded. They had not expected the Monk Tyrant and the other two to leave just like that, actually leaving only Jiang Chen behind.

“How is this possible!”

Wu Zhentian’s face changed drastically.

“Fall back, old man. You go first, don’t worry about me.”

Jiang Chen stood his ground like a warrior with his blade drawn and said in a deep voice.

“This…”

Tantai Jingzang could not believe it either. She had not expected the Monk Tyrant and the other experts, Half-step Divine Emperor experts, to be at ease letting a Late Hierarch hold off the enemy behind them. That was too unbelievable, wasn’t it? One had to know that Half-step Divine Emperor experts and Hierarch experts could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.

“Go! Stop getting in the way here.”

Jiang Chen said calmly. Tantai Jingzang almost exploded with anger. This guy was really too much. Since you want to die, I won’t stop you.

Wu Zhentian and Tantai Jingzang also retreated. Jiang Chen faced twenty Half-step Divine Emperor giant spiders alone. At that moment, the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation sent smoke rising on all sides and flames soaring into the sky. Jiang Chen faced the attacks of twenty giant spiders alone, strolling about at ease. The Five Elemental Divine Fire greatly restrained those giant spiders, even more so than Fire Qilin’s Qilin Holy Fire from before.

“He does have some ability. No wonder he dared to be so reckless.”

Tantai Jingzang said with a grave face. Wu Zhentian, however, saw something even more terrifying. The Five Elemental Divine Fire, those five kinds of flames, even obtaining one of them would be a tremendous fortune. Yet he had gathered all five flames in himself. He was bound to be extraordinary.

“He must be a forging master or an alchemy master.”

Wu Zhentian said in a deep voice, great waves surging in his heart. Although Jiang Chen’s strength had not reached the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, relying on five kinds of divine fire was enough for him to fight a Half-step Divine Emperor expert. It was truly a gift from the heavens. Five kinds of divine fire, it was unheard of.

“You guessed that right. Little Chen’s alchemy is quite accomplished. Let’s get going. In case something changes, we’d better leave first.”

The Monk Tyrant said in a deep voice.

“Is it really all right to leave him here alone?”

Tantai Jingzang said in a low voice. Although she did not think much of Jiang Chen, who was weak yet full of arrogance, after all he had been besieged by these giant spiders because he was saving them. Just walking away still made Tantai Jingzang feel somewhat bad.

“Relax, he’ll definitely be fine.”

The Monk Tyrant said with a smile. Wu Zhentian glanced at the dozen or so disciples behind him. Their strength was only at the Mid Hierarch Realm. Once something else happened, it might truly change their fate completely, and their journey into the Desolate Divine Land would fail just short of success.

“Fine, that’s all we can do now.”

Wu Zhentian said through gritted teeth.

“There’s no time to lose, everyone, let’s go. I didn’t expect this kid to be so formidable. It seems we really underestimated him.”

Sun Xiaolong was also quite shocked. This Five Elemental Divine Fire would definitely cause a stir if it were in the Fossil Sect. This guy really was a chosen son of heaven, to actually possess five kinds of divine fire at the same time. It was truly enviable to the point of hatred.

“You all go first. I’ll cover the rear.”

Tantai Jingzang was still not prepared to leave Jiang Chen behind alone.

Everyone left quickly. Only Tantai Jingzang retreated very slowly. When Jiang Chen looked back, he and Tantai Jingzang’s eyes met. There was something amused in both their gazes.

Turning around, when Jiang Chen looked at the giant spiders again, his eyes were full of killing intent.

Jiang Chen held the Five Elemental Divine Fire in his palm, fearless, weaving through the twenty giant demonic beasts. Killing intent rose on all sides. In less time than it took for half an incense stick to burn, he had gravely wounded all twenty giant demonic beasts. But what came next was something Jiang Chen had never expected. More than thirty more Half-step Divine Emperor giant spiders actually came and surrounded Jiang Chen completely.

“Damn it… did I poke a spider’s nest?”

Even Jiang Chen felt his scalp go numb. These guys were too terrifying, simply endless. By relying on the suppression of the Five Elemental Divine Fire, he had gravely wounded these giant spiders, but now with so many more giant demonic beasts coming, probably no one could stop their attacks.

As more and more giant spiders came, until there were nearly seventy or eighty Half-step Divine Emperor demonic beasts, Jiang Chen also suffered some injuries. There was blood at the corner of his mouth and his face was gloomy. These guys really were troublesome. Enough ants could kill an elephant, and there was truth in that saying. Jiang Chen could only avoid their sharpest edge. If he really fought to the death, it was not impossible for Jiang Chen to kill them, but what was the point? As long as the Monk Tyrant and the others had gotten away, his task was done.

Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away was the best!

Jiang Chen laid down the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation and used the Great Void Technique to escape the battle in an instant, completely fooling those giant demonic beasts and making them think he was still inside the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation.

“A bunch of brainless guys. This young master is leaving first.”

Jiang Chen turned around abruptly and almost bumped right into Tantai Jingzang. A fresh fragrance struck his nose. It seemed to come from her body.

Jiang Chen unconsciously took a step back. Tantai Jingzang’s face showed neither joy nor sorrow, without any visible change, but her heart was also pounding.

“Are you all right?”

Tantai Jingzang asked.

“I’m fine. Those guys can’t do anything to me.”

Jiang Chen shrugged, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

“Good. In the future, you’d better not show off. Although you have five kinds of divine fire, that doesn’t mean you can fight above your level. Today, you just happened to face giant demonic beasts that your divine fire counters. If one day you run into other desolate demonic beasts, it might not be so easy to escape danger.”

Tantai Jingzang said coldly.

“I know very well how much I can handle. But is this how you treat your savior?”

Jiang Chen looked at Tantai Jingzang with a grin.

“Wipe the blood off your mouth first.”

Tantai Jingzang took a spotless white handkerchief from her bosom, tossed it to Jiang Chen, turned around and left.

Jiang Chen held the handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from his mouth. He sniffed it lightly. It was refreshing to the heart. So this was what they called a body fragrance. It was not like peony, not like daisy, not like green lotus, not like orchid. It was more like a subtle fragrance that made one’s heart happy and incredibly relaxed.
