Dragon-Marked War God

Wu Zhentian led everyone swiftly toward the Central Region Divine Land at last. That hellish place, the Desolate Divine Land, was somewhere they never wanted to come to again.

Just as they let out a long breath, finally having escaped with their lives, Tantai Jingzang said calmly,

“Master Wu, I’m leaving.”

With that, without even giving Wu Zhentian a chance to react, Tantai Jingzang turned into a streak of light and flew back the way they had come.

“Master Wu, this…”

Sun Xiaolong stared at Tantai Jingzang’s departing back in astonishment, completely dumbfounded. Wu Zhentian did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had expected this long ago.

“If she hadn’t turned back, that would have surprised me. Jingzang is doing this only because she doesn’t want to carry guilt in her heart. If she didn’t go back, she might never forgive herself for the rest of her life.”

Wu Zhentian said calmly. He had long expected what Tantai Jingzang would do. It was just that even if he wanted to stop her, he no longer had any reason to. Jiang Chen and the others were in mortal danger, and for them to leave like this was truly heartless. But Wu Zhentian was different from Tantai Jingzang. He had to think of everyone, while Tantai Jingzang had only one belief in her heart: to have a clear conscience in everything!

“That foolish girl. If Jingzang goes back, she’s more likely to die than live. Master Wu, why didn’t you stop her? She’s the number one genius of our Fossil Sect. If Jingzang really falls here, the punishment you’ll face when you get back might be even greater.”

Sun Xiaolong sighed, his face extremely grave.

“People are not all the same. What she pursues is what we disdain, and what we pursue is what she disdains. We cultivate strength, she cultivates her heart. The reason Jingzang is stronger than anyone else is that she has the heart of a true expert, fearless and undaunted, a heart that would not cower even before a Great Emperor Realm expert. If she chose to run away this time, her heart would never forgive her, and she would never climb to the peak. For her, this time is a trial, and even more a transformation between life and death. If she crosses it, she will soar to the sky. If she can’t, even if she comes back alive, her achievements may well stop right there.”

Wu Zhentian said earnestly. Sun Xiaolong only half understood, but he knew Master Wu’s words were about Tantai Jingzang. The path she walked was very different from theirs, and what she pursued was something they did not understand.

“Once she goes, we may truly be parted forever by life and death. I hope you take good care of yourself, Jingzang…”

Sun Xiaolong kept sighing. Was the goddess of his heart going to perish just like this? Sun Xiaolong did not believe those guys could be a match for Evil Dragon Emperor. Even Master Wu was afraid to say much about Evil Dragon Emperor. Who would dare defy a Divine Emperor Realm expert? Those guys were just a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Sooner or later they would pay for their own foolishness.

“I only hope you can come back alive, Jingzang!”

Wu Zhentian turned and looked back, his eyes burning. He hoped they could all overcome the terrors of the Desolate Divine Land. Even if she could not come back alive, she had not disgraced the Fossil Sect. She was the pride of their Fossil Sect.

At this time, Wu Zhentian and the others could only flee far away, while Tantai Jingzang chose the path she ought to walk, a journey back she knew might have no return.

“I, Tantai Jingzang, am not someone who clings to life and fears death. Jiang Chen, I will repay what I owe you.”

The sword in Tantai Jingzang’s hand finally slid slowly out of its sheath at this moment. For Jiang Chen, even if only for his broken body and lifeless soul, she would make sure Jiang Chen could rest in peace.

At this moment, Tantai Jingzang looked at the Monk Tyrant and the others. The three of them were now in an extremely dangerous situation. The twenty tireless War Bone Puppets had left the Monk Tyrant at a disadvantage with every step. These War Bone Puppets all had the strength of the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm. Most importantly, they were not like the giant spiders before. They were controlled by a Divine Emperor Realm expert, so one could imagine how terrifying they were.

Qing Xuan and Fire Qilin were moving cautiously, having completely lost their earlier initiative and advantage. Now they could only take the beating passively, and they were badly hurt.

“Opposing me, you have only a dead end ahead of you. With just you few who don’t know life from death, you want to contend with me? I’m afraid you have no idea what the three words Evil Dragon Emperor stand for.”

Evil Dragon Emperor said calmly. Even with his Buddhist seals, two fists could not beat four hands, and with a Divine Emperor Realm expert watching like a tiger, the Monk Tyrant could hardly keep it up.

“What if you count me in!”

Tantai Jingzang’s clear voice rang out. The Monk Tyrant’s eyes softened. In the end, she had not abandoned Jiang Chen.

“Heh heh heh, another one coming to die. It seems you really don’t know life from death. Life is precious, yet in your eyes it’s like grass, and you don’t know how to cherish it. How pitiful.”

Evil Dragon Emperor’s fingers twitched slightly as he shook his head, showing great disdain for Tantai Jingzang’s return.

“Whether I’m coming to die or not depends on whether you have the ability.”

Tantai Jingzang charged forward, like a flying dragon in the sky. Her sword momentum was like a startled swan, its force able to shake a thousand jun.

The sword in Tantai Jingzang’s hand was actually a divine sword at the level of a Primal Origin Treasure as well. Its sword qi was like a rainbow, sweeping across eight hundred zhang. She was a heroine who yielded nothing to men. Tantai Jingzang’s swordsmanship was slightly inferior to Jiang Chen’s, but it had found its own path. Her sword did not have Jiang Chen’s unstoppable forward momentum, but it had an ease that could halt battles across the sky. The moment Tantai Jingzang drew her sword, it was already certain that this time she would face death as if returning home.

“Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous, hahaha.”

Evil Dragon Emperor gave a cold laugh. Even with Tantai Jingzang joining in, they still could hardly stand on equal footing with Evil Dragon Emperor. Tantai Jingzang held her sword to cleave the sky, completely unafraid of the War Bone Puppets. With the four of them joining forces, they actually held back the War Bone Puppets’ attack, and there was even a faint sign that they might turn things around.

“There’s a road to heaven but you won’t take it, and there’s no door to hell but you barge in anyway. Things that don’t know life from death. Then I’ll give you a quick end. Opposing me, you’re courting death!”

Evil Dragon Emperor roared in anger, gripping his bone blade. All twenty figures turned into gusts of wind and merged into his body. Evil Dragon Emperor made his move personally, displaying the full might of a Divine Emperor, crushing the four of them with almost lightning speed. But Tantai Jingzang’s sword and the Monk Tyrant’s God Suppressing Monument both caused him great trouble. At this time, wiping them out directly was not so easy for him. Together with Fire Qilin’s support from the side, whose Qilin Holy Fire had a certain restraining effect on Evil Dragon Emperor, as one side waned and the other waxed, they actually gradually stabilized the situation.

Tantai Jingzang, unafraid of death, charged straight onto the front line. At this time, even the Monk Tyrant greatly admired her. A saying could not help coming to his mind: who says women are inferior to men!
