Dragon-Marked War God

Wude looked at Jiang Chen with a blank face and said groggily:

“Huh? What just happened? What’s going on? It seemed like someone hit me, and then I fell asleep.”

“Still f*cking pretending? She’s already gone. You stinky old Daoist who won’t die, I never should have brought you here.”

Jiang Chen said with a cold face.

“I really wasn’t pretending! Besides, it wasn’t you who brought me in here. I have hands and feet. I got in here on my own ability.”

Wude said proudly.

“Earlier I accidentally stepped on your hand, and you pulled it right back and hid it. And you still say you weren’t pretending to be asleep?”

Jiang Chen said coldly.

“Ahem, ahem! That was probably just a reflex.”

Wude gave a dry laugh.

“Can we open the coffin now?”

Wude said anxiously, unable to wait.

Jiang Chen nodded. At this moment, both of their moods became extremely complicated. Tantai Jingzang had left, and Jiang Chen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that Tantai Jingzang had an unspeakable past in her heart. But if she herself was unwilling to say it, what could he do?

Jiang Chen took a step forward, gripped with one hand, and flicked up the Heavenly Dragon Sword, sending the coffin lid flying. At this moment, Jiang Chen and Wude both held their breath and stared at the person inside the coffin.

In an instant, Jiang Chen and Wude exchanged a glance, because the person in the coffin was actually Yuan Hua. To be precise, he looked exactly like Yuan Hua, without the slightest difference. He wore a jade burial suit sewn with gold thread, his eyes were tightly closed, and there was no life in him at all, yet his body had not decayed in the least. At this moment, the two of them were utterly dumbfounded.

“This, this, this… isn’t this Yuan Hua?”

Wude’s face changed. He glanced at Yuan Hua behind him. The guy was still lying on the ground unconscious, yet the person in the coffin looked exactly like him.

Jiang Chen also frowned deeply. This matter was simply too strange and full of suspicious things. How could the person in the coffin be Yuan Hua? Obviously, that was unrealistic. But the person in this coffin must have an extremely close relationship with Yuan Hua. At this moment, even Jiang Chen was confused.

“Yuan Hua, wake up! Hurry up and wake up!”

Wude gave Yuan Hua a hard kick and shook him awake.

Yuan Hua looked dazed. He raised his head, glanced at Jiang Chen and Wude, and said:

“What happened? What’s wrong with me?”

“Take a look. Who is this person? Do you know him?”

Wude pulled Yuan Hua over to take a look at the person in the coffin. At that moment, Yuan Hua was utterly dumbfounded too.

“Holy sh*t? How can this be? Why does this person look exactly like me? Could he be my ancestor?”

Yuan Hua’s words happened to remind Jiang Chen. That was exactly what he had been thinking. This person was very likely Yuan Hua’s ancestor. Yuan Hua’s family had lived in the Shichahai Sea for generations. If this person really was his ancestor, he must also have been a figure from the age of myths, an invincible expert. Even the Five Directions Great Emperor had been nothing more than his guards.

“Don’t you have any memories, or did no one ever tell you anything?”

Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Hua. Yuan Hua looked bewildered and shook his head. He knew nothing. He was only shocked that the person in the coffin looked exactly like him. So Yuan Hua’s shock was even greater than Jiang Chen’s and Wude’s.

“If we want to know the answer, the only way is to ask Lord Turtle to step in.”

Yuan Hua glanced at Jiang Chen. He knew nothing about these secrets of ancient times, let alone who the person in the coffin was. But for some reason, Yuan Hua’s face looked extremely bad. He kept feeling that this person had countless ties to him.

“Why do I feel so sad…”

Yuan Hua said softly, his eyes full of confusion. Jiang Chen and Wude both looked at Yuan Hua. At this moment, they did not notice that the instant Yuan Hua’s tears fell into the coffin, the person who looked exactly like Yuan Hua completely disappeared, vanishing like smoke.

“How… why is the person in the coffin gone?”

Wude shouted, his face changing in shock. It was just as he said. The person in the coffin had completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind. Not even the gold-threaded jade burial suit remained. All of it had turned into flying ash.

Jiang Chen frowned deeply. In the whole coffin, there were only two things: a blue decree token and a giant axe.

Jiang Chen reached out and gripped, and the blue decree token appeared in his hand. As for Yuan Hua, his mind stirred, and the giant axe appeared in his palm. As he gripped the giant axe, Yuan Hua’s spirit lifted. Lightning power kept swirling inside the giant axe, and streak after streak of electric light spread out. Yuan Hua frowned deeply and his face changed drastically. As he was struck by the lightning, Jiang Chen grabbed hold of Yuan Hua with one hand and absorbed all of the lightning power. Only then did Yuan Hua’s face look a little better.

“Thank you.”

Yuan Hua looked at Jiang Chen gratefully and nodded heavily.

“It was nothing.”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a smile. At this moment, the blue decree token in his hand was also swirling with streaks of lightning power, which puzzled Jiang Chen greatly. What exactly was this thing? It did not look like a divine weapon at all, yet it gave Jiang Chen a very peculiar feeling. As for the giant axe, Jiang Chen did not think much of it. After all, he had no shortage of Primal Origin Treasures. That giant axe was very powerful, but it could not compare to the attraction this blue decree token held for Jiang Chen.

At that moment, Yuan Hua closed his eyes tightly. Streaks of light shone out from the giant axe and intertwined with Yuan Hua. Jiang Chen and Wude exchanged a glance, both full of shock. In an instant, Yuan Hua’s strength kept climbing. The terrifying aura seemed almost about to lift the entire Shihai Ice Palace. The violent tremors made it hard for Jiang Chen and Wude to keep their footing, as if the Shihai Ice Palace was about to collapse at any moment.

And Yuan Hua actually stood there without moving at all, his expression composed and completely calm.

“His strength is growing nonstop. This is just too exaggerated. What exactly is that giant axe? Why did both of you get something, and I got nothing?”

Wude said with a distressed face, his expression dark. He had not gotten a single good thing. How could he not be angry? The coffin had held one giant axe and one blue decree token, and Jiang Chen and Yuan Hua had split them one each. He hadn’t gotten so much as a hair.

At this moment, Yuan Hua’s strength kept growing. For him, this was not a bad thing but an opportunity. Neither Jiang Chen nor Wude disturbed Yuan Hua. They let him grow stronger little by little.

“What else do you want? Do you think I don’t know how many treasures you’ve already pocketed?”

Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.
