Dragon-Marked War God

Defeated in one move, crushed like dry weeds!

Who could have imagined that the Fossil Sect’s envoy, who thought himself above everyone, would be defeated in one move at Jiang Chen’s hands? It was simply unbelievable. Just how strong was Jiang Chen, that Zhang Tingxiu could not hold out against even a single move?

The Great Dao is at its simplest. One palm had smashed out a whole sky! The surrounding void rippled terrifyingly in an instant. Everyone within a hundred zhang fell back, cowed by the force of Jiang Chen’s palm. As for Zhang Tingxiu, who had taken the brunt of it, that went without saying. The impact he had suffered was simply unimaginable.

Wang Fengqi was stunned. Jun Luohua was stunned. Even Bai Wenliang, the strongest one there, was completely stunned. They had imagined countless ways for the battle to end, but they never expected Jiang Chen to settle it with a single palm! It was a resounding slap in everyone’s face. Even Bai Wenliang had never imagined things would end like this.

Wang Fengqi had known his master was strong, but he had never expected him to be this strong. His view of his master kept changing in his heart. His master’s strength had already seemed strong enough to him, but this was still hard to understand. Defeating Zhang Tingxiu in one move, how much skill and ability did that take?

Wang Fengqi suddenly felt that his master had become incredibly tall and mighty, someone he could never catch up to even on horseback. He knew this master of his was definitely stronger than anyone present. The only one who could perhaps be mentioned in the same breath was Bai Wenliang, the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate, who stood as steady as Mount Tai.

The one who felt the most wronged was none other than Zhang Tingxiu. He had planned to bring the Fossil Sect some glory, but who would have thought he would be slapped in the face so mercilessly? If word of this got out, wouldn’t people laugh their teeth out? When he got back to the Fossil Sect, he absolutely could not let his fellow disciples find out. Otherwise, he would really have no face to go on living in this world.

Was Zhang Tingxiu weak? That was impossible. An envoy of the Fossil Sect at the Late Hierarch Realm, his strength was beyond doubt. And anyone the Fossil Sect entrusted with an important task had to be a true expert. Even an ordinary Peak Hierarch might not be stronger than Zhang Tingxiu. He did have that much confidence in himself. Yet in Jiang Chen’s hands he had been so vulnerable that he could not withstand a single blow.

Bai Wenliang asked himself honestly, and even he might not be able to crush Zhang Tingxiu in one move. Wasn’t this guy a little too terrifying? His strength was clearly lower than his own, yet he had such astonishing explosive power that everyone’s face changed. It had even set off a wave of uproar.

This was no accident. Jiang Chen’s strength had left Zhang Tingxiu completely dumbfounded. He had been knocked back by a single palm from Jiang Chen and badly hurt. Where would his face be now, and how would the Fossil Sect hold its head up?

“Puff——”

Zhang Tingxiu held it in for a long time, but in the end he could not help it and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. It drew gasps of astonishment from everyone, and they could not help sucking in a cold breath. This one move had taken away all of Zhang Tingxiu’s fighting strength. His face was deathly pale and his eyes were murky. Zhang Tingxiu had done his best, yet he had still been defeated by Jiang Chen in one move. For him, it was a lifelong humiliation and an enormous mockery. At this moment, even he himself wished he could sink into the ground.

“What a strong guy! It looks like we all misjudged him.”

“Who says otherwise? He beat Zhang Tingxiu in one move. I’m afraid the only one who can keep this guy in check is Bai Wenliang, the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate.”

“The Fossil Sect’s envoy was driven back by a single palm. Interesting. It looks like this time neither side is going to back down or give way.”

From start to finish, Jiang Chen’s body had hardly moved. He withdrew his hand and stood there. Wang Fengqi was dumbstruck. His master was just too amazing, wasn’t he? That one move was simply world-destroying. What kind of palm could make Zhang Tingxiu lose instantly, so that he did not even have the courage to attack again? And he was spitting blood wildly, badly injured. At this moment, Zhang Tingxiu had thrown away every last bit of the Fossil Sect’s face, and he himself had fallen silent.

For Jiang Chen, this move was very simple, but when it landed on Zhang Tingxiu, it filled him with despair. Jiang Chen had only used fifty percent of his strength in that palm. If he had used seventy or eighty percent, Zhang Tingxiu would already be dead.

Jiang Chen still wanted to get into the Fossil Sect, so there was no need for him to kill Zhang Tingxiu. Killing him would more or less turn the Fossil Sect against him. So Jiang Chen had only dealt him a heavy blow, so that he could never get up again or have anything left to fight with.

“Gate Master Bai, it’s up to you now. My senior brother hasn’t returned yet. Help me capture this beast, and I, Zhang Tingxiu, will surely remember it.”

Zhang Tingxiu said in a deep voice. Now he could only pin his hopes on Bai Wenliang, because Bai Wenliang was the strongest one present. A Half-step Divine Emperor capturing Jiang Chen would definitely be no problem.

Bai Wenliang silently nodded as well. He knew that getting on good terms with Zhang Tingxiu meant getting on good terms with the Fossil Sect. In the future, he would surely be able to reap benefits in front of the Fossil Sect. Why would he not be happy to do it?

How could Jiang Chen, a mere Peak Hierarch, possibly be a match for him? Making a move against Jiang Chen at this time would leave a very good impression on Zhang Tingxiu. For Bai Wenliang, this deal was very much worth it. But for Bai Wenliang, only a real, concrete promise would truly put him at ease.

“Little Brother Zhang, there are four genius disciples in my White Tiger Gate. They all have very good aptitude, but unfortunately they’re still young.”

Bai Wenliang said through voice transmission.

“No problem. Leave this matter to me. I hope Gate Master Bai will do everything you can to capture this beast for me.”

Zhang Tingxiu glanced at Bai Wenliang. He really was a greedy one, the sort who would not get up early unless there was profit in it.

This request was not excessive for him. Although it was a bit of a stretch, what Zhang Tingxiu wanted right now was to deal Jiang Chen a heavy blow. Only then could he win back his face. Otherwise, he would lose all his face in this remote place.

Bai Wenliang’s eyes lit up. With Zhang Tingxiu’s promise, he could deal with Jiang Chen even more unscrupulously. After all, he had the Fossil Sect behind him as a strong backer. He absolutely could not drop the ball at a time like this.

“Brat, you’re far too arrogant. Running wild on my White Tiger Gate’s territory, it looks like you’re tired of living. You don’t even take the Fossil Sect’s envoy seriously. Interesting. Hmph. Today, let me give you a good lesson.”

Bai Wenliang snorted coldly and strode forward, as smooth as flowing clouds and running water, rushing at Jiang Chen. Terrifying waves of air rolled up. With a Half-step Divine Emperor expert attacking, everyone’s face changed drastically. They might never get to see an expert of this level fight even once in their lives, so naturally they did not dare miss the slightest detail.

A Half-step Divine Emperor, with matchless might. This battle was bound to shake heaven and earth!
