Dragon-Marked War God

But Tantai Jingzang, Baili Changyang and the others were all true experts too. With the four of them joining hands, for a while they fought the two great weapon souls to a draw. The situation was very dangerous.

“Jiang Chen, why aren’t you making a move?!”

Baichi Huayu said angrily. They had fought the two great weapon souls to a draw, but no one except themselves knew the pressure they were under. The battle halberd and the divine staff in the hands of the two great weapon souls were simply invincible. Every move that smashed down made the earth shake and the mountains tremble.

“You tell me to make a move and I make a move? Then wouldn’t I lose face? Weren’t you very arrogant before? Why should I help you? I came here because Jingzang and I go back a while. That’s the only reason I came. What do your life and death have to do with me?”

“If Jingzang hadn’t given me a handkerchief, why would I risk my life to come here? I only care whether Jingzang lives or dies. Whether you die or not has nothing to do with me.”

Jiang Chen said proudly. Baichi Huayu was so angry his face turned green. Even Tantai Jingzang blushed, but she had no time to deal with Jiang Chen now. That guy had actually kept the handkerchief she had used that time to wipe the blood off him. She could not help feeling complicated inside.

Seeing Jiang Chen waving the handkerchief in his hand, which had obviously been used by Tantai Jingzang, and hearing him call her “Jingzang” this and “Jingzang” that, so very intimately, these two had to be having an affair! Otherwise, why would Jiang Chen risk his life to come here? He must be worried something would happen to Tantai Jingzang. And she was still putting on such a lofty expression. Who was this act for?

The more Baichi Huayu thought about it, the angrier he got. In front of him, she had pretended to be so pure and aloof. In the sect, she looked down on all the heroes, cold and beautiful beyond compare. Who would have thought she had long been carrying on with this bastard Jiang Chen? In what way was this guy better than him? His strength was not as good as his own, he was not as handsome as him, and his origins were nowhere near as noble as his own as one of the heirs to the Fossil Sect’s Sect Master. What virtue or ability did he have to win Tantai’s heart?

“Bastard, sooner or later I’ll kill you!”

Baichi Huayu thought to himself, his eyes blazing as he glared at Jiang Chen. But he did not dare to be the least bit careless. If anything went wrong, they would all die. Facing such a terrifying crisis, the pressure from the weapon souls made them want to leave this place.

“Jiang Chen, Daoist Master, I’ll trouble you to find the exit for us. If we keep tangling with these two, our chances will be grim.”

Tantai Jingzang looked at Jiang Chen and Wude and said in a low voice.

Wude hurriedly put away his little stone stool and nodded with a smile.

“Let’s go, Brother Jiang. So that Sister Tantai isn’t left with a big bust… no, I mean a big risk, let’s hurry and find a way out. Otherwise, we won’t escape disaster either.”

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. This Wude really was too much. The two of them quickly searched the surroundings for the exit to the next area, because at some point, the entrance they had come in through had been completely sealed.

The two of them searched for a long time, and finally, on a stone pavilion on the left side of the great hall, they found a mechanism that changed the layout of the hall. This palace was not the last layer. After they activated the mechanism, a huge door was pushed open. At that moment, a stretch of blue light appeared before the two of them. Jiang Chen and Wude looked at each other. It seemed to be a terrifying ocean, because they saw endless fish swimming through the water and countless seaweeds swaying with the waves. It was extremely beautiful, so lovely it made one’s heart feel open and at ease.

The water-blue world was completely sealed off. It did not look like it belonged to the same world as this palace at all. It was like a private inner palace. But in front of this world of seawater, it was completely sealed by a formation. The seawater could not get into the palace at all. It was like a city wall made of a curtain of water.

“Jiang Chen, come lend us a hand. Let’s drive back these two weapon souls so we can retreat together!”

Tantai Jingzang had no other choice. Now the only person she could rely on was Jiang Chen.

“If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t save this guy. Let him live or die on his own.”

Jiang Chen laughed coldly and met Baichi Huayu’s gaze. Neither of them was willing to give in to the other.

“The legend is true. The Five Directions Great Emperor had the ability to connect to the Shichahai Sea. Could that be the Shichahai Sea?”

Baichi Huayu’s eyes froze as he looked at the water-blue gateway. Everyone stared at the scene, but they were driven back again by the two great weapon souls.

“The Shichahai Sea? What Shichahai Sea?”

Jiang Chen looked at Wude. This guy had to know where the Shichahai Sea was.

“I don’t know whether the Shichahai Sea really exists either. No one has ever found it, and no one has ever come out of the Shichahai Sea. It’s only a legend. The Five Directions Great Emperor had the ability to enter the Shichahai Sea, but later generations have no idea where the Shichahai Sea is, much less what kind of place it is.”

Wude shrugged too, indicating that he did not know what the Shichahai Sea was.

“Jiang Chen, make your move now!”

Tantai said through gritted teeth. This was their last chance. If they could combine the strength of all five of them and drive back the weapon souls, they would have a chance to escape alive. At least these two great weapon souls would not be able to do anything to them.

When Jiang Chen heard this, he nodded heavily and attacked swiftly. One punch shattered mountains and rivers and shook the heavens. Jiang Chen’s strength was not the least bit inferior to the four of them. This blow knocked the two great weapon souls straight back. The five of them quickly retreated toward the water-blue gateway, but the two great weapon souls chased them closely, not wanting to let them escape at all.

Just then, as they all neared the water-blue gateway, Baichi Huayu and Jiahe Quanshan exchanged a glance, their faces changed, and they struck forcefully, driving Jiang Chen straight back. Baili Changyang also made trouble from the middle. The combined impact of the three of them was something Jiang Chen could not withstand at all. At least in that instant, Jiang Chen was forced back between the two great weapon souls. Jiang Chen’s fists surged, his fist wind howled, and he struck at the Great Emperor’s divine weapons, but it had no effect at all. Instead, he himself was knocked back.

“You… you’ve gone too far!”

Tantai Jingzang’s face darkened, and she shouted sharply, her eyes full of anger. Jiang Chen had pulled them out of water and fire, yet the three of them had joined hands to knock him back into the palace and leave him completely surrounded by the two great weapon souls. On his own, Jiang Chen was being driven back again and again by the two great weapon souls. The situation was extremely dangerous.

“He brought this on himself. Who told him to keep sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight? Like I needed him to save me? Hmph.”

Jiahe Quanshan said with a cold laugh.

“Brother Jiahe is right. Scum like this deserves to die!”

Baichi Huayu said coldly. Jiang Chen was trapped by the two great weapon souls, in danger at every step, and his heart was incredibly happy. A bastard like this deserved to be killed.
