Dragon-Marked War God

Jiang Chen had already done more than enough. After all, he felt that the meteorite had been found by the Fossil Sect, and even if he obtained it himself, it would not be right to swallow it all alone. That would be a bit too greedy. Jiang Chen had never been a selfish person, and besides, the Fossil Sect had their own difficulties. Obtaining the meteorite out of nowhere this time was already a great stroke of fortune for him. Jiang Chen would not block other people’s paths completely.

Wu Zhentian thanked Jiang Chen over and over. No one knew better than he did how precious the meteorite was, especially to a great forging sect like the Fossil Sect. It was a considerable fortune. Although twenty or thirty percent was not the whole thing, it was already quite a lot. Jiang Chen had killed the honorable Divine Envoy of the Futu Pagoda, so the meteorite should have been entirely theirs to begin with. Wu Zhentian was already very happy to get some of it.

Only at this moment did Wu Zhentian vaguely realize that the backbone of this group of three people and one beast did not seem to be the Monk Tyrant, but this Jiang Chen, who looked like the weakest of them. Even he found this rather surprising. Wasn’t strength supposed to be everything? This young man at the Late Hierarch Realm could actually make everyone follow his orders. It was truly unexpected.

“Master Wu, look, that terrifying black whirlwind!”

Sun Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold as he noticed the terrifying black whirlwind. Everyone’s eyes gathered on it. But the black whirlwind neither left nor swept toward them. It just kept swirling over the ridge, filled with an eerie air.

“It really is a black whirlwind. Could someone be doing this on purpose?”

Wu Zhentian said in a deep voice. Even he could not see through the black whirlwind, and he did not know what was going on.

“If it’s a blessing, it isn’t a curse. If it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes were fixed on the black whirlwind. He also sensed something eerie about it. The black whirlwind seemed to be controlled by someone. It was not a natural wind.

“I’ll go take a look and see if someone is playing tricks.”

Fire Qilin volunteered. Treading on auspicious clouds of flame, he soared into the air and flew straight toward the eerie black whirlwind.

A moment later, Fire Qilin charged into the black whirlwind with a boom, his flames like a torch, burning the void. The black whirlwind was scattered in one charge. Only then did Fire Qilin come back satisfied and say with a smile,

“Maybe we were just too tense. It was only a gust of wind, nothing else.”

When Fire Qilin finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Chen took the lead and rushed down below the ridge, heading straight for the meteorite. At this moment, the smile on Jiang Chen’s lips grew more and more excited. As long as he obtained this meteorite, he would have the chance to reforge those 108 Origin Divine Tools. As long as the forging succeeded, there would definitely be a huge change. What would truly change then was the Ashura Sword Formation. Once the sword formation spread out, it would be something capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Once Jiang Chen finished reforging those 108 Origin Divine Tools, he would have the confidence to challenge Divine Emperor Realm experts without the slightest fear!

For Jiang Chen to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm right now was simply too difficult. He did not even know when that day would come. But once the Ashura Sword Formation changed again, his strength would certainly become even fiercer. Together with his technique of fusing Heavenly Lightning, Jiang Chen would at least be able to stand undefeated among the Divine Emperor Realm, and he could even try his hand against stronger experts.

But what Jiang Chen cared about most was the Heavenly Lightning in the Rushing Thunder Chart. If he wanted his strength to break through, that Heavenly Lightning would play a crucial role. It might very well let Jiang Chen soar to the sky in one leap. If he fused a fourth Heavenly Lightning, Jiang Chen would have the strength to fight even more powerful beings. It was just that, for now, it was still extremely difficult.

For now, the most important thing was to get his hands on this meteorite first.

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up. This meteorite was actually one zhang across, covered in colorful meteorite powder. But what caught the eye most were the layers of gray powder. That gray powder seemed to be some terrifying metallic substance. Although it had been burned away almost completely, it was still quite frightening. It was very likely that the meteorite had become distorted when it crashed through the space of the Divine World.

“Wow! What a huge meteorite!”

Sun Xiaolong was stunned. He looked at it as if he were looking at a huge treasure, stroking the enormous meteorite, his eyeballs about to fall out. Even thirty percent of it was a huge piece of divine stone. It could definitely be forged into more than one divine weapon.

“That’s right. With this much meteorite, who knows how many divine weapons we could forge. What fortune, what great fortune.”

“That’s right. If all of it belonged to our Fossil Sect, how great would that be?”

“We of the Fossil Sect were the ones who found it in the first place. We should be taking the biggest share. Sigh.”

A few Fossil Sect disciples muttered, their faces full of indignation, only to be scolded by Wu Zhentian.

“Stop talking nonsense! Little friend Jiang Chen has already done more than enough. We must not lose all sense of virtue. Our Fossil Sect will never be the kind of people who have no conscience.”

Wu Zhentian’s words made those few people’s faces turn ashen. None of them dared to say more, much less talk nonsense again. Jiang Chen’s expression was calm. He had expected all of this long ago. But that the human heart is never satisfied, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, was also a fact. No one could understand how much Jiang Chen had given. If not for Jiang Chen, they would already be dead. If not for Jiang Chen, they would not have gotten even the tiniest bit of the meteorite.

But there were always people who thought this was unfair, who thought they had lost far more than they should have. Fortunately, Wu Zhentian had not disappointed Jiang Chen. Otherwise, he would not have minded wiping them all out, because he was determined to get this meteorite. Giving thirty percent was already the greatest kindness he could show the Fossil Sect.

Going by the temperament of the Monk Tyrant and the others, they would not have given them even a tiny bit. These people had received Jiang Chen’s kindness, yet they did not remember it and only thought of their own selfish gain. That was the most frightening thing about the human heart.

Tantai Jingzang silently watched all of this. What Jiang Chen gave them was payment for their hard work. Even if he had given them nothing, it would have been perfectly justified. But it showed there was still a sense of righteousness in his heart, something no one else would understand. Tantai Jingzang had not expected that after she had mocked him so much and looked down on him so much, he would still do something so unexpected. That was true righteousness. That was what a real man was.

Although he was the leader of this group, Tantai Jingzang still did not accept it. What virtue and ability did Jiang Chen have to make a peerless divine beast like Fire Qilin and an expert like the Monk Tyrant bow to him? It was not a relationship of master and servant, but obviously everyone treated him as the center, and every single time he was the one who showed off the most. That was really puzzling.

Tantai Jingzang could not say she hated Jiang Chen. She just found it a bit awkward. If his strength could bear the glory he had at this moment, then so be it. But he was just a brat at the Late Hierarch Realm. By what right did he lead them all?
