Chapter 3279 – It Has to Work, Even If It Can’t
Jiang Chen’s expression changed. All of the ice sculptures were actually facing him. It was truly hateful, and truly hard to fathom.
“These ice sculptures can really move.”
Tantai Jingzang murmured. She knew she had wronged Yuan Hua. Yuan Hua had seen it, while she had failed to see any of it.
“Retreat, quickly! These ice sculptures are extremely strong. Their power has even reached the level of Divine Emperor Realm experts.”
Huang Baidang waved his two younger brothers back and retreated swiftly. However, these ice sculpture guards did not charge at the three brothers. Even Yuan Hua and Baili Changyang escaped the danger, because the ice sculptures seemed to have a definite target.
Three ice sculptures charged straight at Jiang Chen, while of the other two, one charged at Tantai Jingzang and one at Jiahe Quanshan. Of the five ice sculptures, not a single one went for the three Huang brothers. At this moment, everyone stared at the scene in disbelief.
“How can this be?”
Jiang Chen frowned deeply, puzzled. But the three ice sculpture warriors had him blocked at the doorway. With the strength of nearly three Divine Emperor Realm experts, they left Jiang Chen with no ability to fight back at all. These ice sculptures were completely different from the ones they had met at the entrance. The strength of these five ice sculptures was extraordinarily great.
“I get it. It must be the Great Emperor divine weapons we got earlier.”
Jiang Chen shouted in a deep voice. Of those Great Emperor divine weapons, he now had three, while Jiahe Quanshan and Tantai Jingzang had only one each. That was why one ice sculpture went for each of them, while the most, three ice sculptures, came crushing straight at Jiang Chen.
“Damn it.”
Jiahe Quanshan smiled bitterly inside. The ice sculpture was too strong. He did not dare to be careless at all, and only by going all out did he manage to hold his ground. The ice sculpture was here to take the divine spear in his hand. Its goal was perfectly clear.
“We absolutely can’t let them get these divine weapons. Otherwise, they’ll become even stronger, and it’ll be even harder for us to hold them off.”
Jiang Chen looked at Tantai Jingzang and Jiahe Quanshan. If they gave up the divine weapons in their hands at this time, it would be the same as seeking their own destruction. Once these five ice sculpture warriors got hold of these five divine weapons, it would very likely become an extremely horrifying massacre.
Jiang Chen’s situation was the most dangerous. One against three, he was already fighting with everything he had, but he still could not hold off these three.
“I’ll help you.”
Yuan Hua growled and charged forward, joining Jiang Chen in fighting the three great ice sculpture warriors. But it was still a drop in the bucket, and offered no real security at all.
At this moment, the three Huang brothers looked at one another, and none of them intended to lend a hand. Instead, they busied themselves grabbing treasure and divine weapons. The scene was extremely chaotic. Baili Changyang was the same. He had no intention of helping Jiang Chen and instead busied himself snatching the divine weapons and treasure before him.
Jiang Chen saw it all, but he was not anxious. Although those treasures were also full of temptation for him, when there was no absolute safety, they could become the death warrant that decided whether they lived or died.
These three guys in front of Jiang Chen were the most terrifying. These three ice sculpture warriors did not seem like puppets at all. In their eyes, Jiang Chen actually saw a trace of unyielding will, an indomitable will, and they seemed to be guarding something.
Jiang Chen had not expected Yuan Hua to step in and help. This guy was quite dependable and did not think of running away at all. Although Jiang Chen had captured him and brought him in, to a large extent he had come willingly, since he too wanted to know what kind of place this ice palace really was.
“Thanks.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile. Although Yuan Hua was struggling terribly and had not helped him much, Jiang Chen would always remember this kindness.
The most hateful one was that stinky Daoist Wude. Even Jiang Chen did not know when this guy had vanished. Now there was no sign of him at all. Whenever it came to a critical moment, this guy was sure to run off. Who knew where he got such a sensitive nose.
“I want to go out and see too. To see what color the sky really is, and smell what the earth really smells like.”
Yuan Hua said with a serious face.
Jiang Chen glanced at Yuan Hua. His conviction was only that simple. Although he had the strength of a Half-step Divine Emperor, he could not see the sky outside at all. He had been trapped here for more than ten million years. He had been here since birth, without even the slightest right to choose.
“I’ll definitely take you out.”
Jiang Chen said solemnly. The two of them smiled at each other. The three ice sculpture warriors grew ever fiercer, but although Jiang Chen was in a sorry state as he dashed left and right, he managed to withstand the pressure after all. Tantai Jingzang and Jiahe Quanshan were not so fortunate. Both of them were almost completely suppressed by their ice sculptures, and at this moment even Jiang Chen could do nothing to help.
Yuan Hua held off one of the ice sculpture warriors for Jiang Chen. In any case, things became a little easier for Jiang Chen. But the ice sculpture warriors were as ferocious as ever, and their target was the five Great Emperor divine weapons obtained earlier in the outer hall. Once they got those Great Emperor divine weapons, their strength would probably become even more formidable, rising like a boat with the tide.
At this moment, Jiahe Quanshan finally could not withstand the ice sculpture warrior’s attacks, and the divine spear in his hand was at last taken by the ice sculpture warrior. From then on, the terrible scene finally came to pass.
Jiang Chen watched helplessly as the ice sculpture warrior sent Jiahe Quanshan flying with three thrusts of the spear. Jiahe Quanshan had no power to fight back. Such terrifying strength was almost beyond his belief. The terrifying spear technique followed him like a shadow, and within ten moves, Jiahe Quanshan was gravely injured.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. It did not matter if Jiahe Quanshan died, but once this ice sculpture warrior had the divine spear, their situation would become even more dangerous, because an ice sculpture warrior with a divine weapon and one without were in two completely different states.
Tantai Jingzang was also struggling more and more. She might be driven back by the ice sculpture warrior at any moment, and even the wolf-fang mace in her hand was in jeopardy.
“You fall back first. Leave it to me!”
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. This guy really was no pushover, but he would rather die than let this ice sculpture warrior get a divine weapon. Things were already getting harder and harder for them, and yet the three Huang brothers and Baili Changyang were still busy collecting treasure for themselves.
“Can you do it?”
Tantai Jingzang said worriedly.
“If I can, I can. If I can’t, I still have to!”
Jiang Chen clenched his teeth and glanced at Tantai Jingzang. The smile at the corner of his mouth was forced out as well.
Three experts at the level of the Divine Emperor Realm. Although they were not true Divine Emperor Realm masters, that terrifying, oppressive force still put him in a worrying position, deep in danger.
