Dragon-Marked War God

“How can this be? Could it be that you were a cloud of fog in your last life?”

Yuan Hua said in surprise.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“It’s fine that I can’t see it. There’s this life and no next one. Some things are better left unknown. If you knew them, life would become dull instead.”

Tantai Jingzang did not believe Jiang Chen’s words, but no matter how she thought about it, she could not figure it out. Did this guy have no previous life? Why was it only a mass of chaotic qi?

Curious as she was, Tantai Jingzang could not work it out. Perhaps even Jiang Chen himself did not know why. At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at Tantai Jingzang.

“Why don’t you try it too?”

“I’ll pass. Just as you said, if you knew, life would become dull instead.”

Tantai Jingzang said indifferently, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. Before Jiang Chen could speak, an extremely terrifying flying knife pierced through the void and shot straight at him. It was a hair’s breadth from disaster.

Jiang Chen caught the terrifying flying knife between two fingers, his eyes icy cold. He turned his head and saw three men dressed in yellow staring coldly at him.

“Kid, getting to fly wing to wing with the Fossil Sect’s favored daughter of heaven, you sure are lucky, hehehe. Even that guy Baichi Huayu got dumped by the two of you?”

The leading man in yellow said with a narrow-eyed smile.

“Huang Baidang, keep your mouth clean.”

Tantai Jingzang frowned and said coldly.

“Hahaha, could Miss Tantai be angry out of embarrassment? As far as I know, Baichi Huayu also came in here, but he’s nowhere to be seen now. That’s really quite intriguing.”

Huang Baidang said with a chuckle, making Jiang Chen frown. This guy was really rather annoying.

Jiang Chen moved his hand and flicked his fingertip. Three ice arrows shot out of the Pool of Rebirth and flew straight at the three men.

A chill passed before the three men’s eyes. None of them dared to be careless, and they dissolved the ice arrows in an instant, but their faces darkened as a result. This brat at the peak of the Late Hierarch Realm was actually this strong. One against three, and he had all three of them acting as if they faced a great enemy. Interesting indeed.

“Courtesy demands reciprocity.”

Jiang Chen said coldly, looking down on them with cold eyes. These three were no good birds either. They should be the people of the Zhongxing Sect.

“Kid, you’re courting death!”

Huang Daqi’s eyes turned cold, and he struck first, coming straight at Jiang Chen. He unleashed terrifying techniques, and wave after wave of dreadful palm wind roared out, shaking the mind.

Jiang Chen was not afraid in the least and met him with one hand. A single punch, one force overcoming ten skills, and all of the palm wind was scattered by Jiang Chen. Huang Daqi and the others looked shocked. They had not expected Jiang Chen’s strength to be so abnormal.

Huang Daqi was unwilling to show weakness and wanted to attack again, but he was called back by his eldest brother Huang Baidang.

“Third Brother, come back!”

Huang Baidang shouted in a deep voice. Huang Daqi’s face darkened, extremely unwilling. He was absolutely confident he could defeat Jiang Chen, yet his eldest brother had called him back. How could he not be angry? Why wouldn’t his eldest brother let him teach this guy a proper lesson?

“Huang Baidang, Huang Chenglong, and Huang Daqi of the Zhongxing Sect! This brother’s skills seem extraordinary. No wonder you’ve won Miss Tantai’s heart, hehehe. We’ve all come for the secret treasure, so there’s no need to fight, is there?”

Huang Baidang said with a smile, his expression changing in an instant. This kind of person was the most dangerous, because you never knew when he would appear behind you and deal you a fatal blow.

“Fine!”

Sure enough, Jiang Chen had guessed these three men’s identity correctly. Jiang Chen did not continue fighting them. He was not afraid, but if something unexpected happened at this time, things would not be so easy to resolve.

Huang Baidang thought the same as Jiang Chen. If he were a soft persimmon, they could give him a squeeze and see. But this guy’s strength was clearly not ordinary. The ice arrows just now had only been a warning. On top of that, Tantai Jingzang was here, and there were two others of unknown identity. In this fight, they would not have the upper hand.

“These three aren’t easy to deal with. You need to be careful.”

Tantai Jingzang said to Jiang Chen through voice transmission.

“I’m not someone to be trifled with either. If they have evil intentions, I won’t show any mercy.”

Jiang Chen sneered inwardly and replied through voice transmission, glancing at Tantai Jingzang.

“Miss Tantai, has Brother Baichi really gone on ahead?”

Huang Baidang asked doubtfully.

“He and Jiahe Quanshan and the others are already ahead. Right now, we’re only trying to catch up with him.”

Tantai Jingzang said in a low voice.

“So that’s how it is, hehe. I said Brother Baichi definitely wouldn’t die so easily. I know his strength. Even an ordinary Divine Emperor Realm expert might not be able to block his attacks.”

Huang Baidang said with a smile.

“We should get going too. Otherwise, aren’t you afraid that all the good things will be snatched up by those people, Brother Huang? Heh, Baichi Huayu and Jiahe Quanshan have already taken two Great Emperor divine weapons. Tantai and I almost died at the hands of that bastard.”

Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.

“Such a thing happened?”

Huang Baidang said with a look of surprise, but in his heart he was as calm as still water. In the traveling palace of the Five Directions Great Emperor, everyone had come for the secret treasure. If you died, it only meant your strength was lacking and you were simply not qualified to go any further. But it seemed that they had now completely fallen out with Baichi Huayu. That was a good opportunity.

“Brother, I know what kind of person Baichi Huayu is. He’s nothing but a sinister, cunning man who will never accomplish anything great. If we brothers join forces, we can naturally kill him and take revenge for you.”

Huang Baidang swore solemnly.

“Let’s catch up with them first.”

Jiang Chen said indifferently. The group quickly headed into the palaces further inside. Tantai Jingzang was the last. She could not help looking back at the Pool of Rebirth, her eyes full of complicated feelings.

“Is this the treasure hoard of the Five Directions Great Emperor? My heavens, it’s just too magnificent.”

Baichi Huayu stared fixedly into the great hall before him. The countless treasures practically blinded their eyes. Even as Half-step Divine Emperor experts, they could hardly control their emotions.

“I’ve never seen so much treasure in my entire life.”

Jiahe Quanshan murmured.

In this enormous hall stood a mountain of piled-up treasure. Around it stood five guards. Each of them had a fierce aura. Although they were ice sculptures, they were lifelike, giving off an awe-inspiring presence without any show of anger.

At the back of the hall was a gigantic relief. The relief was carved from bluestone, not ice. On it was a man standing on a mighty eagle, a divine weapon in his hand, which he was driving into the eagle’s body. The scene was extremely brutal and extremely magnificent.

But naturally, no one paid any attention to this exquisite carving, because everyone’s eyes were now fixed on that mountain of treasure.

“Hahaha, it’s all mine! Everything here is mine!”

A wild roar rang out and echoed through the entire hall. The hall was full of endless wealth: countless jewels, numerous immortal herbs and lingzhi, and divine weapons alone numbered over a hundred, every one of them a Primal Origin Treasure. At this moment, no one could stay calm.
