Dragon-Marked War God

Bitterness and struggle made Bai Wenliang realize how much of a piece of trash he was in Jiang Chen’s hands, how utterly unable to withstand a single blow. But Jiang Chen’s strength was clearly lower than his own. How could this be?

Wang Fengqi wept with joy. His master was just too powerful. This was his pride and his glory. That sword just now had contained far, far too much. He had only half understood it, but he had remembered a great deal. The shock that sword had given him was the most real thing of all. He could feel that his master had not even cared to use that sword. If it had not been to show it to him, that sword might have been the weakest one in his master’s hands, and it had been performed with a tree branch at that.

Wang Fengqi felt his master’s painstaking care deeply, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

To have no sword surpass having a sword, to truly make the sword in one’s hand become one with heaven and earth, that was all the spirit of swordsmanship came down to. That was the true meaning of the Limitless Sword. The sword had no shadow and no form to begin with. Only by truly comprehending the existence of the sword could having no sword in hand surpass having one, so that a single sword could hold off an army of a million. That was what it meant.

Jiang Chen’s figure was like a sword, like an immortal monument. In everyone’s hearts, they marveled at him.

However, panic, trembling, fear, all kinds of emotions appeared in the hearts of Zhang Tingxiu and the others. Even Jun Luohua was backing away step by step. Wasn’t this Jiang Chen a bit too abnormal? Was he even human? He was simply a monster. Who could beat him? A single tree branch had defeated a Half-step Divine Emperor. Such a ridiculous, laughable scene had played out right before their eyes, and it left everyone shaken with lingering fear.

Jiang Chen glanced at Bai Wenliang, and Bai Wenliang could not help but shiver. That look was too terrifying. It held endless killing intent, and even more, endless loathing.

“Don’t kill me. This was all Zhang Tingxiu’s idea. Don’t kill me!”

Bai Wenliang backed away without thinking, his face extremely ugly, and pointed at Zhang Tingxiu as he spoke. He did not want to die, but Jiang Chen seemed to have already pronounced his death sentence.

“No one can provoke me.”

Jiang Chen said calmly. He struck out with a palm with the force to swallow mountains and rivers. Bai Wenliang’s pupils shrank, and his whole body began to tremble.

“Show mercy!”

A loud shout rang out. Everyone’s eyes turned to the white-robed young man who came shuttling through the void. But Jiang Chen’s hand did not stop in the slightest. Beneath the Great Yu Soul Forming Light, Bai Wenliang’s soul was completely sucked away, and his body and spirit were both destroyed.

“Sigh!”

The white-robed young man let out a sigh, and his face did not look very good either.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, you’re finally back! It’s him. He killed the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate, and he ignores the existence of our Fossil Sect. He insulted me in every way possible, but the Fossil Sect cannot be tarnished by him. Senior Brother, you must kill him!”

Zhang Tingxiu glared until his eyes nearly split and said through gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

“Smack——”

The white-robed young man slapped Zhang Tingxiu hard across the face. Zhang Tingxiu looked at his senior brother in complete bewilderment. Wh-wh-what… what on earth was going on?

“Senior Brother, you…”

“Why aren’t you kneeling yet? Kowtow to Brother Jiang and admit your mistake, or even I won’t be able to protect you! Bai Wenliang of the White Tiger Gate brought it on himself. If he’s dead, he’s dead. What’s there to make a fuss about?”

The white-robed young man shouted angrily, his face as dark as water. He was none other than Sun Xiaolong, whom Jiang Chen had saved in the Desolate Divine Land more than ten years ago. Back then, he himself had shown off in front of Jiang Chen countless times and had his face slapped hard every time. And this little bastard dared to show off in front of Brother Jiang?

Zhang Tingxiu was dumbfounded at once, but he did not dare to disobey. Even his senior brother was no longer on his side. He had completely lost his support.

“Do you know that back then, to save everyone from our Fossil Sect, Brother Jiang put himself in danger alone, with his life hanging in the balance? Even Senior Sister Tantai is careful how she speaks of him, and even Master Wu treats him with the greatest respect. And you dare to be disrespectful to Brother Jiang? Do you think the Fossil Sect will keep someone as hopelessly stupid as you?”

Sun Xiaolong shouted angrily, so loudly it was deafening, and Zhang Tingxiu’s face went deathly pale. The anger of someone furious that iron would not become steel was burning in Sun Xiaolong’s chest.

The entire White Tiger Gate, its tens of millions of disciples and everyone taking part in the Hundred Sects Conference were all dumbfounded. They had never expected that even the Fossil Sect’s ambassador would be so wary of Jiang Chen and so careful around him. One could imagine that this Jiang Chen must be extremely terrifying, perhaps even with a background as solid as a mountain, far beyond anything they could fathom.

He had killed the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate with one hand, yet he could still stroll about as if in his own courtyard and be treated as an honored guest by the Fossil Sect’s ambassador. Who would dare to act rashly now?

Those who had not thought much of Jiang Chen before all shut their mouths. After all, trouble comes out of the mouth. No one wanted to die without knowing why, like Bai Wenliang. He had only been someone who pulled a tiger skin over himself and waved a big banner, but in the end he had become the scapegoat. It was truly chilling. Everyone in the White Tiger Gate, from top to bottom, was now in a panic.

Under Sun Xiaolong’s angry rebuke, Zhang Tingxiu hurriedly knelt in front of Jiang Chen and kowtowed to admit his mistake, not daring to be the least bit slow about it. The Fossil Sect’s envoy, who had been so high-spirited and arrogant before, had done a complete turnaround in front of Jiang Chen. It made everyone’s jaws drop to the ground.

Jiang Chen could naturally see that Sun Xiaolong was venting his anger for him. He was afraid that in a fit of rage, Jiang Chen would kill Zhang Tingxiu. Zhang Tingxiu was at fault, but after all he was a disciple of the Fossil Sect, and at the Late Hierarch Realm. An elite disciple of that strength was not someone one could just kill. In the future, he would very likely have the chance to become a deacon or even an elder of the Fossil Sect. How much effort it took to raise a Late Hierarch expert went without saying. Even for great sects like theirs, it could not simply be repeated.

“Brother Jiang, has your anger been vented yet? If you’re not satisfied, I’ll kill this bastard for you right now to ease your anger.”

Sun Xiaolong said with a smile.

“No need. Killing him wouldn’t do any good. My goal is to go to the Fossil Sect.”

Jiang Chen glanced calmly at Sun Xiaolong. This guy was now very respectful toward him, nothing like the showing-off attitude he had before. After Tantai Jingzang went back, she had told them everything that happened. Only then did they truly understand how powerful Jiang Chen was, and that he was the real core figure of that group.

Bai Wenliang, the Gate Master of the White Tiger Gate, was not top-tier in strength, but Sun Xiaolong knew that it would be extremely hard for him to win against him. Jiang Chen had defeated Bai Wenliang in one move. How terrifying that was went beyond words.

“Hahaha, that’s great. Brother Jiang, since we parted in the Desolate Divine Land more than ten years ago, my heart has been full of shame. Brother Jiang, this time you must come with me to the Fossil Sect. We’ll have a good time catching up.”

Sun Xiaolong said with a big laugh. As for whether Bai Wenliang lived or died, he did not care at all. If he was dead, he was dead. It was no big deal. It just meant the White Tiger Gate would get a new helmsman, and there would be some minor shifts in the balance of power in Zhelong County. For the Fossil Sect, none of it mattered.

“I’ll definitely go to the Fossil Sect, but there are still some things I need to take care of properly.”

Jiang Chen said coldly. Killing intent appeared in his eyes again!
