Chapter 3285 – Peerless Imperial Might
The White-Robed Spear God, Leng Ruyan!
To Jiang Chen, this name was perhaps not all that shocking, but to Tantai Jingzang it was quite astonishing. What Leng Ruyan represented went without saying. He represented the strongest of the younger generation of the entire Beacon Smoke Sect. The reason the White-Robed Spear God could be called a god was that his reputation was like that of a god, unmatched by anyone.
There was a rumor that the White-Robed Spear God, spear in hand, had swept through ten Divine Emperor Realm experts without falling behind. You had to know that among Divine Emperor Realm experts, even if there were gaps, they would not be that large. Yet he was unmatched among Divine Emperor Realm experts, and could fight one against ten. Such a record was beyond the reach of anyone.
Leng Ruyan’s power was beyond doubt. At this moment, his appearance added countless dangers to the situation in the Shihai Ice Palace.
Sharp and angular, proud as a dragon. That was the pride of the White-Robed Spear God.
Jiang Chen silently looked at Leng Ruyan. This guy was extremely strong. Even Jiang Chen did not dare say he would definitely win. But at this time, he absolutely could not back down. So what if he was a Divine Emperor Realm expert? As long as he had not entered the ranks of Great Emperor Realm experts, Jiang Chen would never easily admit defeat.
At this moment, it made Jiang Chen think of Xue Liang. The Xue Liang of the past, white robes fluttering, sword in hand, had been just as peerless in bearing and matchless in momentum, in no way inferior. But compared to this guy in front of him, his strength was clearly a notch lower. Jiang Chen just did not know where he was now. But Jiang Chen believed that with Xue Liang’s character, he would never live an idle, mediocre life. He had inherited the legacy of the Immortal Execution Great Emperor, and he would definitely not sink into obscurity. Someday, when he met him again, perhaps he would long since be famous throughout the world.
A man fights for his pride as a Buddha fights for a stick of incense. Now the matter was imminent. They were just about to open the bronze coffin, and naturally he would not hand the fat meat already at his lips to someone else.
“So what if I am? Now, even if you want to leave, you no longer have the chance. Because I have already pronounced your death sentence. In this world, the person who dares to oppose me, Leng Ruyan, hasn’t been born yet.”
Leng Ruyan said calmly, gently stroking the silver spear in his hand. Jiang Chen had just completely enraged him. Now, even an apology would no longer be possible.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t know how to cherish it. So only by dying will you understand what bearing the strong of this world should have.”
“Then come at me. I’m waiting for you right here. Come on.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes blazed, his gaze sharp. It seemed this battle was unavoidable. Without dealing with this guy, there was no way he could open the bronze coffin.
“Prepare to die. Remember, this will be the most glorious moment of your life, because your opponent is called the White-Robed Spear God, Leng Ruyan.”
At this moment, with swords drawn and bows bent, there was no retreat left at all. Jiang Chen rose with his sword, and the two figures instantly clashed. Leng Ruyan’s silver spear cut off the sky like a roaring dragon, swallowing heaven and earth. The might of a Divine Emperor Realm expert was displayed to the fullest.
With just one move, heaven and earth shook. With just one move, the winds and clouds changed!
This was also Jiang Chen’s first time fighting a Divine Emperor Realm expert. At this moment, he could finally fight to his heart’s content. His sword soared to the heavens like a charging bull, and the spear shot out in all directions like a coiling dragon.
The figures of Jiang Chen and Leng Ruyan kept clashing, their auras rising and falling, incomparably powerful. Leng Ruyan was domineering and unbridled. When his long spear struck, it was like splitting bamboo. Jiang Chen retreated in order to advance, but he was still suppressed by Leng Ruyan step by step. At this point, he had no room to retreat at all. From this, one could see how powerful this Leng Ruyan was.
No wonder he had such confidence. Jiang Chen sucked in a cold breath. He had not expected this Leng Ruyan to be so much stronger than he had imagined. Even with the Dragon Transformation, he still could not withstand twenty of his moves. And Leng Ruyan’s spear technique was simply too fast, too terrifying. It worked on the same principle as his own Limitless Sword, and its level was extremely formidable.
Under Leng Ruyan’s layer upon layer of suppression, it was not long before Jiang Chen showed a trace of fatigue and began to grow hesitant and timid.
A true Divine Emperor Realm expert was, after all, countless times stronger than those Half-step Divine Emperors. If you did not break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, you would never know how terrifying a Divine Emperor Realm expert really was.
“Brother Jiang, I’ll help you!”
Yuan Hua charged forward without hesitation. He knew that in this Shihai Ice Palace, only Jiang Chen could keep him safe. And he had come here together with Jiang Chen, so how could he abandon him now?
As Yuan Hua made his move, Tantai Jingzang was not to be outdone either. She could see that although Jiang Chen had been very powerful when he killed the Huang brothers, meeting a true Divine Emperor Realm expert was completely different. The might of a Divine Emperor could not be withstood by anyone, and this Divine Emperor Realm expert was no ordinary person but Leng Ruyan, the one-in-ten-thousand peerless expert of the Beacon Smoke Sect. Jiang Chen had long since lost the dominance he had shown earlier, unmatched by anyone below the Divine Emperor Realm. On the contrary, he now had to advance cautiously, step by step.
“Brother Jiang, victory is yours! Brother Jiang, victory is yours!”
Wude did not make a move. His strength was only at the Late Hierarch Realm. At this time, what left Jiang Chen not knowing whether to laugh or cry was that this guy was actually waving flags and shouting from the side, cheering him on. It had to be said that Jiang Chen was completely convinced by this guy. He never suffered the slightest loss. At a time like this, he was the first to withdraw from the battlefield, terrified of getting caught up in it.
After Yuan Hua and Tantai Jingzang joined in, the pressure on Jiang Chen eased a little. But even one against three, Leng Ruyan was still under no pressure at all.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen bore the brunt, and the pressure on him was considerable. Although Yuan Hua and Tantai Jingzang were taking part of the pressure for him, who knew that this Leng Ruyan’s attacks would grow stronger and stronger? In the blink of an eye, it was like a blow to the head that drove Jiang Chen back step by step. A strike from a Divine Emperor Realm expert finally let Jiang Chen feel the gap between himself and the Divine Emperor Realm.
“Fifteenth Sword!”
Jiang Chen sent out the Limitless Sword again and again. The wind rose and the heavens dried, the sword shattered the stars. But Leng Ruyan’s silver spear was even more domineering. He paid no heed to Jiang Chen’s onslaught, and was even able, at the same time, to gravely injure Yuan Hua and Tantai Jingzang one after another. One against three, he handled it with ease.
Leng Ruyan was full of domineering power and looked down on them with cold eyes. Jiang Chen was suppressed on every front. This was the most frustrating battle he had ever fought. But Jiang Chen did not feel ashamed, because his opponent was a Divine Emperor Realm expert, and a one-in-ten-thousand Divine Emperor Realm expert at that. For him, this was a trial, and even more a life-and-death fight. Only by surviving life-and-death battles would his strength become ever more formidable.
“Puff—”
Tantai Jingzang finally could not withstand Leng Ruyan’s domineering spear light, and Leng Ruyan showed no tenderness toward the fairer sex at all. He crushed straight down with a powerful killing blow, striking Tantai Jingzang squarely on the shoulder. Yuan Hua’s plight was even worse than hers. His chest was pierced through. Fortunately it had not struck his heart dead center, or Yuan Hua would not have escaped death either.
The two of them were defeated one after the other, yet Jiang Chen still would not give up. How could it be in his character not to fight to the very end? Unless he was completely killed, Jiang Chen would bow his head to no one. For no other reason than this: his name was Jiang Chen!
