Dragon-Marked War God

Jiang Chen frowned and turned his head sharply. He grabbed the ice sculpture’s divine weapon with one hand and gave an angry shout. The ice sculpture guard was actually shattered completely by Jiang Chen’s shout. That ice sculpture guard had had at least Half-step Divine Emperor strength.

“These guys look stern and look formidable, but they’re actually this easy to break. It looks like even this old Daoist doesn’t need to be afraid of them.”

Seeing Jiang Chen shatter the ice sculpture guards around him with a single shout, Wude realized it had been a false alarm and said with a smile.

“Not necessarily.”

Tantai Jingzang lightly crushed a piece of ice in her hand, but the ice did not melt at all. And the shards of ice all around actually began to gather together again at this moment. The dozens of fallen ice sculpture guards all rebuilt their bodies in less than ten breaths. They had no souls, but how terrifying these hundred or so ice sculptures were went without saying. For Baichi Huayu, Jiahe Quanshan and Baili Changyang to break through these ice sculpture guards, it looked like it had taken them a tremendous effort.

“Your words really do come true.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Tantai Jingzang, and Tantai Jingzang blushed. But at this moment, surrounded by more than a hundred Half-step Divine Emperor ice sculpture guards, they became tense too, especially Yuan Hua and Wude. When Jiang Chen turned around, the two of them were actually clinging to each other, their eyes full of terror.

“Lord Dragon, you have to protect me.”

“Brother Jiang, you and Sister Tantai surely don’t take these ice sculpture guards seriously. I’ll hold the line for you.”

The two of them were exactly alike, quickly falling back, full of fear.

“Think about how to save your own lives. I can’t protect you two.”

Jiang Chen snorted coldly. More than a hundred ice spears, sweeping away all before them, came straight at Jiang Chen and the others.

Jiang Chen gripped the Heavenly Dragon Sword and rose with it. The sword moved with his will. Every sword he swung cut an ice sculpture guard to pieces. With every step he cut down ten guards, without mercy.

Countless ice sculpture guards kept charging up one after another, closing in on Jiang Chen, only to be ruthlessly cut to pieces by him in the end. The ground was covered in chunks of ice. Ice spear after ice spear was knocked hard aside by him. One against a hundred, he was not at the slightest disadvantage.

Jiang Chen swung wide and open, his sword qi astonishing. Among the hundred or so ice sculpture guards, he had no fear at all. Darting left and right, he had already smashed dozens of ice sculpture guards. Wude and Yuan Hua looked at each other and felt reassured. Luckily Jiang Chen was so strong. Otherwise, these hundred great ice sculpture guards would have been far too terrifying for the two of them.

Tantai Jingzang did not hold back either and followed behind Jiang Chen. She could not let Jiang Chen face these ice sculpture guards alone. The terrifying ice sculptures were very hard for Tantai Jingzang to deal with as well. Once she ran into twenty or so ice sculptures at most, she was tied down. But Jiang Chen was fearless. No matter how many ice sculptures there were, he broke them with a single sword each, like splitting bamboo.

Tantai Jingzang could not help looking over at Jiang Chen. This guy’s abnormality showed in every respect. She could not even see his sword clearly, but wherever his sword passed, it showed no mercy. No ice sculpture guard could hold out in his hands, not even for a second.

In less than half an incense stick, the two of them had cut down all the ice sculpture guards.

Jiang Chen’s back was like a mountain, his pride like a dragon’s. Even Yuan Hua was shocked to see it. Luckily he had not gone up against Lord Dragon. Otherwise, he would probably have died a very ugly death.

The scene before them completely shook Yuan Hua and Wude. The two of them looked at each other. Jiang Chen moved as if through a land without people. It was simply like a demon god descending from heaven, unstoppable, utterly domineering and incredibly handsome.

“Beautiful! Brother Jiang really didn’t let us down. I always said you were a dragon among men. My eye is still first-class. You have to admit it.”

Wude said sincerely.

“Hurry up and go. Otherwise, I’m afraid those ice sculpture guards will reform again.”

Jiang Chen frowned deeply. These ice sculpture guards that could be reborn endlessly were very strange. More than a hundred Half-step Divine Emperor ice sculpture guards, what kind of place needed so many strong guards? They were only ice sculptures, but their strength was not weak at all. If they had not run into Jiang Chen, breaking out of the encirclement would not have been something they could do in a short time, and they might very well have been badly injured. During the fight just now, Jiang Chen had seen traces of blood, which must have been left by Baichi Huayu and the others. It showed that to break through the encirclement of these ice sculpture guards, the obstruction those three ran into may have been even harder than what they had faced.

The moment Wude and Yuan Hua heard Jiang Chen’s words, they rushed to the very front. And just then, Jiang Chen, at the very back, felt as if someone was following them. When he turned his head sharply, he saw a white fox. Yes, this time Jiang Chen saw it with complete clarity. It was a white fox. The white fox and Jiang Chen stared at each other. Jiang Chen frowned deeply. When had this white fox shown up? It seemed to be the same one he had run into when he entered the Five Directions Great Emperor’s traveling palace.

At this moment, the white fox actually smiled slightly, its mouth spreading open, looking at Jiang Chen and the others with amusement in its eyes. Jiang Chen’s heart jolted. This fox had really smiled. When it looked at him, there even seemed to be something meaningful in it.

“Jiang Chen? Why aren’t you coming?”

Tantai Jingzang called out to Jiang Chen. But when he looked back again, there was nothing on the ground where the ice sculptures had shattered. Jiang Chen frowned deeply. Could it have been his imagination? Definitely not. The white fox’s smile was still in his mind, incredibly real.

“What on earth is it?”

Jiang Chen murmured in his heart, but he could not be sure what that white fox’s origins were. The ice sculptures had already begun to reform. Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless. If they kept tangling here, there would never be an end, because these ice sculpture guards seemed to be undying and indestructible, endlessly reborn. No wonder Yuan Hua and the others had an ancestral instruction not to enter the ice palace before reaching the Divine Emperor Realm. Just these hundred or so Half-step Divine Emperor ice sculpture guards, even a Divine Emperor dealing with them would probably not do much better than Jiang Chen.

Yuan Hua looked back with lingering fear and thought to himself that it was lucky he had never risked coming in before. Otherwise, he would probably have died a very ugly death. Even if he had wanted to come in, it would not have been that easy.

The terror and mystery of this ice palace stirred the curiosity in everyone’s hearts more and more.

“This poor Daoist really is blessed with good fortune and a long life. But it’s all thanks to following Brother Jiang. If I’d followed those short-lived ghosts, I’m sure I wouldn’t have had any good days.”

Jiang Chen and the others quickly moved forward, passing through layer after layer of palaces. Hall after hall and ice sculpture after ice sculpture gave him an incredibly familiar feeling, but he could not remember where he had seen them before. At this moment, Jiang Chen’s head even felt as if it were about to split with pain.

He wanted to remember where he had seen these ice sculptures, but no matter what, he could not. The feeling was as if his brain were being dug out. It was incredibly painful, his head splitting.

“That’s… my ancestor…”

Yuan Hua cried out in alarm, drawing everyone’s attention!
