Chapter 3280 – A Cure for Every Kind of Shamelessness
Jiang Chen knew that at this moment he had to bear the onslaught of these ice sculpture guards himself. Huang Baidang, his two brothers, and Baili Changyang completely ignored them, because these five divine weapons had nothing whatsoever to do with them. When it was none of your business, you kept well out of it. Even if Jiang Chen had been in their place, he would not have meddled either. Wouldn’t it be lovely to collect treasures off to the side?
But now that Jiang Chen had become the ice sculpture guards’ prime target, he had to shoulder this great battle, because the five divine weapons were extraordinary. Jiang Chen knew that these things must be the most precious possessions of the Five Directions Great Emperor. Otherwise, the five ice sculpture guards would not completely ignore everyone who was stealing the treasure. They had only one goal, and that was to seize the divine weapons in Jiang Chen’s hands. Whoever held a weapon was the target they would kill.
Jiang Chen was fighting one against four, and he was already struggling badly at this point. But the Limitless Sword let him move in and out with ease, and even under attack from four ice sculpture guards, he still withstood all the pressure.
However, strong as Jiang Chen was, he unfortunately had a teammate as useless as a pig beside him, and one who only made things worse. Under the ice sculpture guard’s onslaught, Jiahe Quanshan was defeated almost instantly. Spear shadows pierced through the void, and there was nowhere for him to dodge. The divine spear in his hand had long since been taken, and the ice sculpture fought as if aided by the gods, its momentum like a rainbow. He had no power to fight back at all.
“Light of the Water Rhyme, bloom!”
Jiahe Quanshan struck out with a palm, and streak after streak of water-rhyme sword qi descended from the sky, its momentum like a rainbow. But under the ice sculpture guard’s long spear, it seemed to have no power to resist at all. Every streak of water-rhyme sword qi was pierced by the long spear and shattered into a ground full of ice flowers. Jiahe Quanshan was gravely injured outright by the ice sculpture guard. Ice flowers and blood intertwined, dazzling and tragic!
“Damn it. In the end I still have to take on all five by myself.”
Jiang Chen said through gritted teeth. There was nothing he could do about it. But the most terrifying was the ice sculpture guard holding the divine spear. If the other four counted as ordinary Divine Emperor Realm experts, then the ice sculpture guard holding the cold spear was already pressing close to the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. Although they had no consciousness of their own, their terrifying techniques had long since melded into their bodies. Every move and stance was perfectly natural. As soon as they got their divine weapons, it was like giving wings to a tiger.
The long spear thrust upward like a long wind breaking the waves. Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted. This Jiahe Quanshan was really too useless, losing so quickly. But Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all, because hesitating would only make him a stepping stone for others. Especially with several ice sculpture guards entangling him, he had no choice but to fight with his back to the water.
Tantai Jingzang’s face was grave. She had been covering Jiang Chen the whole time. Yuan Hua was not to be outdone either. His strength was limited, but he was at least holding back an ice sculpture guard and easing Jiang Chen’s burden. He had not fled at this moment, which was enough to prove his character. The least reliable was that bastard Wude. Who knew where he had run off to. He had completely disappeared.
Jiang Chen was forced back again and again. Tantai Jingzang and Yuan Hua were not much better off. All of their paths were blocked, and they were even forced completely out of the great hall. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Huang Baidang glanced at Jiang Chen and the others as they fled in disarray, a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. In a moment, it would be the perfect time for them to play the fisherman who profits while the snipe and the clam fight.
“Azure Lotus Sapphire Starfire, burn!”
Jiang Chen swung out his sword qi, and flames surged up. The Azure Lotus Sapphire Starfire burned continuously, and terrifying waves of heat rushed at them. Even Tantai Jingzang and Yuan Hua felt miserable all over from that scorching feeling and did not dare to face its edge. Apart from the ice sculpture guard holding the long spear, the other four ice sculpture guards were all struggling to resist. Jiang Chen’s Azure Lotus Sapphire Starfire put tremendous pressure on them. But the spear guard showed no restraint at all, trading blow for blow with Jiang Chen with great gusto, and the more they fought, the more alarmed Jiang Chen became. He had not expected this guy to be able to raise his strength to such a level. He looked as if, with the divine spear in hand, the whole world was his.
“Heavenly Dragon Knights, kill!”
These guys had completely stirred up the anger in Jiang Chen’s heart. As soon as the Heavenly Dragon Knights made their move, they instantly sealed off the ice sculpture guard’s charge and blocked his path. But it had to be said that even for seven Heavenly Dragon Knights, driving back this warrior with the long spear was very difficult. Holding him off for a while was already no easy feat.
“Cold River Stone, suppress him!”
With the Cold River Stone in one hand and the Azure Lotus Sapphire Starfire in the other, Jiang Chen caught the ice sculpture guard in a two-pronged attack of ice and fire. At last the ice sculpture guard began to melt little by little, and was gradually beaten down by Jiang Chen.
“Kill… kill without mercy… kill…”
The ice sculpture guard holding the long spear was still murmuring, as if full of unwillingness. But Jiang Chen showed no mercy. To get rid of this guy, he had used every means he had. The ice sculpture guard’s body gradually melted into a puddle of ice water, leaving only the long spear behind. Jiang Chen gripped the long spear, his eyes incredibly sharp. As for that bunch, he would never let them off.
Under the smelting of Jiang Chen’s Azure Lotus Sapphire Starfire, the remaining four ice sculpture guards also silently turned into ice water and dispersed.
Jiang Chen finally let out a long breath of turbid air. In the end, he had defeated the five ice sculpture guards.
“This wolf-fang mace should be yours too.”
Tantai Jingzang tossed the wolf-fang mace in her hand straight to Jiang Chen. Even Jiang Chen did not know what she was thinking. Did she not like the look of the wolf-fang mace? Or did she think the wolf-fang mace should belong to him? After all, he was the one who had defeated these five ice sculpture guards, and each ice sculpture guard corresponded to one divine weapon.
But this wolf-fang mace was a divine weapon at the level of a Primal Origin Treasure after all. That Tantai Jingzang was willing to part with it surprised Jiang Chen somewhat, and even made him look at her in a new light.
Jiang Chen gripped the wolf-fang mace tightly and looked at Tantai Jingzang with a smile, though no one knew what he was thinking.
“Looks like I should thank you.”
Jiang Chen now had five divine weapons in his hands. But at this moment, he felt that the matter of a man being guilty simply for holding a jade was bound to happen after all.
“Kid, so many divine weapons, can you swallow them all?”
Huang Chenglong said with a chuckle, stopping what he was doing. At this moment, the three brothers were extremely envious of the divine weapons in Jiang Chen’s hands.
“From the way you talk, if I can’t swallow them, do you want to help me out?”
Jiang Chen said with a smile that was not quite a smile. How could he not know what these guys were up to?
“We three brothers, plus Brother Changyang, won’t ask for much. One Primal Origin Treasure each will be enough. What do you say?”
Huang Baidang said calmly, with an air of great righteousness.
“Hahaha, you really have your abacus clicking nicely. Taking shamelessness to the extreme, the bunch of you have made quite an achievement. I, Jiang Chen, can only stand far behind in the dust.”
Jiang Chen said with a cold smile. These people actually wanted a Primal Origin Treasure each. They were dreaming, indulging in fantasy.
“So you’re saying you’re unwilling? Little guy, don’t blame me for not warning you. If our eldest brother makes a move, you won’t be far from death.”
Huang Chenglong said arrogantly.
“If you kowtow and admit your mistake now and offer up the divine weapons, it’s not too late.”
“All the shameless pills in the world must have been eaten by you brothers. Today I’ve finally seen it for myself. But I, Jiang Chen, happen to have a cure for every kind of shamelessness.”
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes with a smile and met the gazes of Huang Baidang and the others without any fear. He stood with his sword in hand, ready to fight to the death!
