Dragon-Marked War God

“You all must die. Whoever offends my Futu Pagoda shall be killed without mercy!”

The Divine Envoy and the Monk Tyrant clashed in an instant, but the Monk Tyrant was simply too strong. No one could stop his charge. In fewer than ten moves, the Divine Envoy had been forced completely onto the defensive in the Monk Tyrant’s hands. As one of the best among Half-step Divine Emperor experts, the Monk Tyrant feared no one.

“Damn it, what are you all standing around for? Why aren’t you making a move?”

The Divine Envoy roared angrily and glanced at Guan Muran and the others. Guan Muran and the other three trembled inwardly and hurried to help the Divine Envoy. But at the same time, Qing Xuan and Fire Qilin were not to be outdone. The two of them completely blocked Guan Muran’s group, and once again everyone was locked in battle.

Wu Zhentian was filled with shame and sighed endlessly. At this moment, it was he who sank into deep self-reproach.

“Go to hell!”

The Monk Tyrant’s palm formed a Buddhist seal, domineering and overwhelming. He beat the Divine Envoy until the man had no power to fight back, and with lightning speed he left him gravely injured. Fire Qilin also drove back Guan Muran, while Qing Xuan cut down three defeated stragglers in a row. Guan Muran fell into a passive position as well. Every move he made was suppressed by Qing Xuan and Fire Qilin, and he had almost no chance of turning things around.

“A bunch of trash!”

Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed. In Tantai Jingzang’s eyes, Jiang Chen was far too good at showing off. From beginning to end this guy had not lifted a finger. A mere Late Hierarch, and yet he was so good at stirring up trouble, and so arrogant on top of it. And yet the Monk Tyrant and the others were willing to clean up his messes. Sooner or later this bastard was going to get all his own people killed.

Just then, the Monk Tyrant charged forward again and again, forcing the once-arrogant Divine Envoy to retreat frantically. But the Monk Tyrant’s Buddhist aura was simply too terrifying. The Divine Envoy had nowhere to dodge, and before the shocked eyes of Wu Zhentian, Guan Muran and the others, he was wiped out alive.

The Divine Envoy’s physical body was destroyed, and his soul tried to escape. But Jiang Chen, who had long been ready, caught it red-handed and sealed it straight into the Great Yu Soul Forming Light.

Jiang Chen picked up the Futu Token from the ground. This Futu Token seemed to be a good thing. It might come in useful some day.

“You’ve certainly picked up a great bargain.”

Tantai Jingzang smiled faintly, a smile of countless charms, but there was still a cold disdain on her face. Jiang Chen had no ability of his own and relied entirely on others. He had caused trouble, then hidden behind everyone, and only now did he come out to show off. Tantai Jingzang found this extremely hard to accept. This guy’s vanity was simply too great.

“Dead… he’s really dead…”

Wu Zhentian drew in a cold breath. The Divine Envoy of the Futu Pagoda was really dead. Jiang Chen and these few people were simply desperadoes. It was too frightening. They did not even put a Divine Envoy of the Futu Pagoda in their eyes.

Guan Muran screamed again and again. Even the last thing he relied on, the Divine Envoy of the Futu Pagoda, was dead, and he had no strength left to fight. He was burned alive by Fire Qilin’s divine fire, and even his soul was scorched.

The whole mountain ridge became calm once more. The methods of Jiang Chen’s group were simply too domineering.

“Phew, they’re all dead. Now we can collect the meteorite with peace of mind.”

Sun Xiaolong’s eyes lit up and he grew extremely excited. Although Jiang Chen and the others had killed the Divine Envoy of the Futu Pagoda, they had to deal with the fallen meteorite as soon as possible, or things might change if they waited too long.

“Now you remember the meteorite? Why didn’t you say anything about standing up to the Futu Pagoda’s Divine Envoy earlier? If not for us, would you even still be standing here, talking about collecting the meteorite? Do you have any shame?”

The Monk Tyrant lashed out at Sun Xiaolong directly. Sun Xiaolong was rendered speechless, his face ashen, unable to say a single word in his own defense. At this moment, even Wu Zhentian felt so ashamed he could hardly bear it, his old face flushing red. How could he possibly open his mouth now and ask to collect the meteorite? That would be utterly shameless.

Tantai Jingzang stood there without a word. She knew that they no longer had any right to fight for the meteorite.

People were all selfish. Wu Zhentian, Sun Xiaolong, Tantai Jingzang, none of them were an exception. But Tantai Jingzang knew that since she had not helped Jiang Chen, she had no right to lay a finger on the meteorite anymore, even though they were the ones who had found it.

But one thing was an indisputable fact. If they had let the people of the Futu Pagoda have their way, they would never have obtained the meteorite at all. So now she kept silent. Tantai Jingzang would not fight for what did not belong to her.

This was her respect for the Monk Tyrant and the others, and also a sign that they had won her over.

Wu Zhentian’s face was full of embarrassment. Earlier, when the Monk Tyrant and the others were dealing with the honorable Divine Envoy, they had wanted nothing more than to draw a clear line between themselves and Jiang Chen. Now, no matter what, he could not raise his head and ask for the meteorite.

“Weren’t we thinking that we should share both fortune and hardship? After all, we’ve been through life and death together. We’re friends who’d die for each other. Hehehe.”

Sun Xiaolong said with a smile, utterly shameless.

“Hmph hmph hmph, you can actually say that out loud? Hahaha, you’re making this Buddha-lord die of laughter. Share fortune and hardship? Did you do that? You don’t want to share the hardship, but you want to share the fortune. What a great joke! When we saved you before, it was because Jiang Chen was merciful. I had no intention of making a move, but Jiang Chen told me to, and only then did we get you out of danger. Not only did you not thank Jiang Chen, you treated him coldly. Does being weak mean you don’t deserve respect? Are the strong destined to stand on the heads of the weak and sh*t on them? I don’t think so. What else do you have to say this time? And you still have the face to ask for the meteorite? It’s laughable. We’re kind, but we’re not stupid.”

Every word the Monk Tyrant said hit home, leaving Wu Zhentian speechless. At this moment there really was nothing he could say, because after what had happened earlier, they had clearly lost the Monk Tyrant’s trust. Naturally, they could not possibly fight the Monk Tyrant and the others now.

Tantai Jingzang also glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise. She had not expected that it was this “meddler” who had saved their lives. It seemed it was true that one should never judge a person by appearances.

“Forget it. You can’t blame them for this. I was the one who told them not to side with us. It’s no one else’s fault. I didn’t want to drag them into it either. After all, the Futu Pagoda’s power in the Central Region Divine Land is simply too vast. If they got involved… to put it plainly, I don’t want this to cause a rift between us. And to put it more seriously, it could very well become the spark that wipes out an entire sect.” Jiang Chen said after thinking for a moment.

“Little friend Jiang Chen, I’m truly moved that you think this way. I, Wu, am truly ashamed before all of you in this matter. Please forgive my selfishness. I still have so many disciples of my sect to protect.”

Wu Zhentian was full of helplessness. Jiang Chen smiled faintly and made no comment, but he really had no intention of blaming them.

“You can take thirty percent of the meteorite. The rest is mine.”

With that, Jiang Chen walked toward the meteorite below the distant mountain ridge.

Wu Zhentian and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, their faces extremely excited. Wu Zhentian in particular was full of admiration for Jiang Chen. Although his strength was only average, what he did made it impossible not to respect him.

“It seems you’re a real man after all.”

Tantai Jingzang said calmly. But just at this moment, a pitch-black gale rose up on the horizon and swept straight toward the ridge of Little Lone Mountain!
