Dragon-Marked War God

“Little Brother Zhang, heh heh, I didn’t expect you to be leading the team again this time. Thank you for your trouble.”

Bai Wenliang, the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate, said with a smile.

“Sigh, it’s nothing. For the sake of the sect, a little hardship and a little fatigue count for nothing. It’s Gate Master Bai who, as the master of a sect, has worked hard and achieved much. Heh heh.”

Zhang Tingxiu said with a smile.

“But I’m actually not the one leading the team this time. It’s my senior brother. He was just held up by something, but he’ll be here soon.”

Zhang Tingxiu said.

“That’s good. But this time I have a favor to ask, and I hope Little Brother Zhang will agree no matter what. As for the reward, it will definitely satisfy Brother Zhang. Of course, I’m only the go-between in this matter. The one who really has a request for Little Brother Zhang is the Jun Family.”

“The Jun Family? Which Jun Family?”

Zhang Tingxiu narrowed his eyes.

“The all-powerful Jun Family, of course. It’s only a branch of the Jun Family, though.”

Bai Wenliang said with a meaningful look.

“Easy to discuss, easy to discuss. Heh heh heh.”

Bai Wenliang and Zhang Tingxiu exchanged a glance, and both of them gave a knowing smile.

The Hundred Sects Contest, to put it plainly, was meant to pick out elite disciples and send them to the Fossil Sect. In the end, after round after round of selection, there might even be a chance to enter the Drawing Sword Sect, but that was one in ten thousand, as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Picking thirty powerful, talented disciples out of more than two hundred people was not hard, yet not simple either. Although Wang Fengqi had not yet comprehended the true meaning of the Limitless Sword, his strength was very formidable. At least among these people, getting into the top thirty was well within his reach. That was why he was so confident this time.

Jiang Chen did not see anyone from the Fossil Sect that he knew. Tantai Jingzang would probably not show her face, and he did not see Sun Xiaolong either, so he was in no hurry to make a move.

Wang Fengqi cultivated diligently and with unshakable tenacity. His strength had been built step by step through his own most stubborn efforts. So he cut his way through every round, and he needed only one last battle to have a chance at one of the thirty elite disciple spots.

And in this last battle, as luck would have it, the person Wang Fengqi ran into was none other than Jun Luohua. It was as if heaven had arranged it. The two of them faced each other point against point, and neither would retreat half a step.

“Enemies really are bound to meet on a narrow road. Hmph, it looks like this time you’re destined to swallow your hatred.”

Jun Luohua said with a cold laugh. This battle had been arranged by him on purpose. The goal was to ruin Wang Fengqi’s plan, and then Feng Yan would be his. What he had not expected was that this coward had not even gotten Feng Yan yet. It seemed he was getting an even better deal this time. Once he won the beauty, he would surely drive this Wang Fengqi to death with rage.

“Then let’s see who laughs last.”

Wang Fengqi said through gritted teeth. At this point he did not have much confidence in himself either. After half a year, his strength still could not catch up with Jun Luohua. But as long as he used the Peak Origin Divine Tool, he would definitely have the upper hand. But Master had said that unless he absolutely had to, he must never use the Peak Origin Divine Tool. That was Master’s instruction to him. Dumb as Wang Fengqi was, he had guessed some of the reasons why.

“Someone who overestimates himself. Do you really think you can laugh last? Hahaha. If someone hadn’t saved your life in the forest last time, do you think you’d still be alive today? You’re dreaming. Hmph.”

Jun Luohua sneered. Wang Fengqi was his defeated foe, there was no doubt about that. With his strength, he could not possibly beat him. So Jun Luohua had absolute confidence. And in this battle he was going to beat Wang Fengqi to death, and no one would say anything. Even Zhang Tingxiu, the one in charge from the Fossil Sect, had been bought off by him. What did Wang Fengqi have to fight him with?

Jun Luohua held a long sword and pointed it straight at Wang Fengqi, overflowing with arrogance.

“Come on, defeated foe. Let’s see whether you can last ten rounds in my hands.”

“Then we’ll see.”

Wang Fengqi said coldly as well. He did not know how good his chances were in this battle, but he would never give Jun Luohua any opening. Both of them wanted the other dead. But Wang Fengqi clearly knew he could not kill Jun Luohua. Even if he were lucky enough to defeat him, it would at most be a case of killing a thousand of the enemy and losing eight hundred of his own. How hard this battle was for him went without saying.

“Good!”

Jun Luohua gave a cold laugh and attacked first. One sword swept down, coming like a long wind breaking through the waves.

“Gentleman’s Sword, First Form, Sword Falls on the Plain!”

Jun Luohua’s momentum was like a rainbow. Among the experts taking part in the Hundred Sects Conference, he and Wang Fengqi were among the best, and their battle drew a lot of attention. Many people gathered around. A battle between Hierarch experts was bound to be extremely fierce.

“Jun Luohua of the Jun Family is just too strong. I think this time he can definitely make the top three.”

“That’s hard to say. There are no rankings at this Hundred Sects Conference. It’s real life-and-death fighting. Some people only reveal themselves as the stronger ones when others fall in defeat.”

“Isn’t Jun Luohua so strong just because the Jun Family’s foundation is so deep? If I were given that many resources, I’d definitely become a dragon among men too. Tch.”

“Strength and luck, you can’t do without either. And you also have to be good at choosing who you’re born to, hahaha. Otherwise, who knows. After all, in our Zhelong County, there’s only one Jun Luohua.”

Countless people were full of questions and curiosity about the battle between the two.

“Wang Fengqi, the young genius of the Wang Family, is no pushover either. A battle between these two is a real fight between a tiger and a wolf.”

“Haha, true. But I still favor Jun Luohua. After all, the Jun Family’s strength speaks for itself. Wang Fengqi against Jun Luohua is more likely to lose than to win.”

Jiang Chen silently watched the scene. The people around him had all begun passing judgment. He would not make a move. All of this was Wang Fengqi’s own fortune and opportunity. Success or failure, he had his own road to walk. Jiang Chen could not help him for the rest of his life.

If he had comprehended the Limitless Sword, defeating Jun Luohua would not be hard. But unfortunately, his talent was simply too poor. With Jiang Chen’s realm of the sword, cultivating the Limitless Sword back then had come as naturally as water flowing into a channel. But how many people in the world could reach the realm of him and the Sword Saint? The two of them had held each other in high regard, and their understanding of the Dao of the sword was beyond what ordinary people could reach. So even though the Sword Saint was dead, Jiang Chen could certainly bring the Limitless Sword to its ultimate limit. That was the most terrifying part.

But for Wang Fengqi, the Limitless Sword was still too hard after all.
