Chapter 3356 – Striking at the Heart
One had to know that Dongfang Lianshuo was an expert who swept through the Buddha Zhongsheng Hall. Apart from his Eldest Senior Brother, even the Great Elder was not necessarily his match. His strength was an extremely terrifying existence even in the entire Central Region Divine Land.
Now an unknown brat could actually fight him back and forth. Dongfang Lianshuo was naturally incomparably furious. He felt that his strength was being greatly suppressed. He had to teach this guy a lesson.
“Little Chen’s strength has become more and more terrifying. I’m afraid that if I don’t break through to the Divine Emperor Realm now, I won’t even last ten moves against him.”
Han Yan said with a bitter smile. The terrifying fighting power Jiang Chen displayed was startling. Han Yan knew that the gap between him and Jiang Chen was growing larger and larger. He absolutely could not let himself fall behind Jiang Chen. Although they were brothers, if he fell too far behind Jiang Chen, Han Yan’s heart would be filled with sorrow too.
“Little Chen, wait for me. I’ll break through to the Divine Emperor Realm as soon as possible.”
Han Yan clenched both fists. At this time he could already feel the barrier of the Divine Emperor Realm. As long as he cultivated more, he would soon be able to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm.
Dongfang Lianshuo stared fixedly at Jiang Chen. At this moment the battle between the two of them had already entered a white-hot stage, but neither could do anything to the other. He was strong, but Jiang Chen was strong too. In this clash of the strong, the two had actually fallen into a balance.
“You’re strong, but running into me, you can only blame your bad luck.”
Dongfang Lianshuo retreated in order to advance. The palm wind in his hands was like thunder, changing again and again. In an instant, a giant sky-propping palm appeared in the sky, directly blotting out the sun above and covering almost all of Jiang Chen and the others.
“Great Sun Divine Palm!”
The enormous palm print descended from the sky, almost about to crush everyone. Jiang Chen’s face was incomparably grave. This guy really did have some ability. Compared with Lu Changtian back then, he was stronger by more than a little.
At this moment Han Yan and the others already felt as if they were about to suffocate. That invisible might cast a shadow over everyone’s heart.
“Divine Golden Bell, God Sealing Prohibition!”
Jiang Chen activated the Eastern Emperor Limitless Art and enveloped everyone within the Divine Golden Bell. The unrivaled giant palm completely dissipated like smoke the moment it met the Eastern Emperor Bell. But Jiang Chen was also forced back two steps, his face grave. The invisible giant palm that had blotted out the sky had vanished without a trace in an instant.
“What a terrifying divine weapon! The Eastern Emperor Limitless Art. Is it the Eastern Emperor Sect?”
Dongfang Lianshuo murmured, his expression grave. He had condensed ninety percent of his strength into this palm, yet Jiang Chen could still handle it with ease, as though strolling in a courtyard. This was something Dongfang Lianshuo had completely failed to anticipate.
“Kid, try taking another palm from me.”
Dongfang Lianshuo’s expression was cold as he formed seals with his hands again. Unpredictably changing palm wind came on like a rainbow.
“Five Elements Divine Dragon Seal!”
Jiang Chen forced out a seal, terrifying as ever. Now that Jiang Chen’s strength had broken through again and again, the Five Elements Divine Dragon Seal had also become more and more frightening. It clashed with Dongfang Lianshuo once again. Both of their auras grew extremely cold. When the wind and thunder passed, neither had completely pinned the other down. On the contrary, the two of them had once again split the honors evenly.
“Jiang Chen, you’ve completely angered me. Today I’m going to grind your bones to dust and annihilate your soul.”
Veins bulged on Dongfang Lianshuo’s face. This guy could actually fight him so evenly. How could he not feel frustrated? He was an expert of the Buddha Zhongsheng Hall. If he, a man of the Futu Pagoda, the most powerful force in the entire Divine World, could not even suppress this guy, where would he put his face?
“You want to kill me? That’s a fantasy. If I want to kill you, it’s as easy as turning over my hand.”
Jiang Chen said with a faint smile. In fact, killing Dongfang Lianshuo would also be quite difficult for him. Neither of them could be sure of defeating the other. Even up until now, they had only been testing each other and had not used any truly lethal moves. Jiang Chen knew it, and Dongfang Lianshuo knew it in his heart too. But Jiang Chen’s words still made Dongfang Lianshuo’s face turn livid with rage, because Dongfang Lianshuo was simply too proud, too overbearing. He absolutely did not allow others to be stronger than him, especially this Jiang Chen, whom in his eyes he should have been able to swat dead with one palm, yet who stood on the same level as him.
“Today, I will kill you!”
Dongfang Lianshuo took a step forward, his killing intent toward Jiang Chen growing ever stronger.
“Not necessarily.”
Jiang Chen said with a wave of his hand.
“And if you add me? Are you still not going to die today?”
An icy voice sounded in Jiang Chen and the others’ ears. Han Yan and Leng Qianqian exchanged a glance, and both their faces changed drastically.
“Demon Lord Louis…”
Jiang Chen frowned and looked at the middle-aged man draped in a purple robe. He was walking toward them step by step through the void, and his pressure was growing greater and greater.
“Demon Lord Louis?”
Jiang Chen murmured. Could this person be the Demon Lord of the Forbidden Demon Clan? His strength was by no means weaker than Dongfang Lianshuo’s, only stronger.
“It seems you’ve made quite a few enemies.”
Dongfang Lianshuo stood with his arms crossed and said with a smile. The Demon Lord of the Forbidden Demon Clan was the master of an entire clan. Even Dongfang Lianshuo was not sure he could defeat him.
“The two of you have truly disappointed me.”
Louis XVII glanced at Han Yan and Leng Qianqian and sighed.
“Leng Mo, of everyone in my clan, the one I valued most was you. I favored you even more than some of the princes. Yet you betrayed me like this. It truly fills my heart with incomparable grief. Qianqian, even you have betrayed me.”
Louis XVII’s words made Leng Qianqian and Han Yan feel somewhat wretched, their expressions growing more and more complicated. Both Han Yan and Leng Qianqian had received Louis XVII’s grace of recognition and his grace of saving their lives. Louis XVII’s appearance was an enormous pressure on the two of them.
Han Yan’s expression was extremely pained. Jiang Chen could see that at this moment Han Yan was incomparably torn and conflicted, because he had never been one who liked to owe others. Moreover, all these years he had lived in the Forbidden Demon Clan, and it had to be said that Louis XVII really had treated him quite well. Han Yan could not deny that even against his conscience. But over these years, the great service Han Yan had rendered the Forbidden Demon Clan was also beyond counting. Yet Jiang Chen could see that in Han Yan’s heart he was still full of guilt toward Louis XVII, especially now that he had joined hands with Jiang Chen to kill Louis XVII’s son. For Han Yan, the self-reproach in his heart over this was truly hard to get past.
Leng Qianqian’s pretty face was incomparably pale. They had wanted to simply walk away and never return to the Forbidden Demon Clan, but they had not expected to come face to face with Louis XVII at this time. Both of them were full of guilt toward Louis XVII.
“You killed my son, and you think you can just walk away like this? Leng Mo, tell me, in what way did I, this king, ever wrong you?”
Louis XVII said lightly.
Jiang Chen’s face changed. This guy did not just want to kill Han Yan. He was striking straight at his heart!
