Chapter 3358 – The Man in Black
Jiang Chen knew this battle could not be avoided. Whether he lived or died, he had to hold on to the very end. Two Mid Divine Emperor Realm experts, both incomparably overbearing. Whether it was the Demon Emperor Lord of the Forbidden Demon Clan or the supreme expert of the Buddha Zhongsheng Hall, neither one was weaker than Jiang Chen. So breaking out of the encirclement would not be simple for Jiang Chen.
Fighting with his back to the river, Jiang Chen had no absolute certainty of defeating these two guys. A great reputation is never unfounded. This Demon Emperor Lord, who had ruled the Forbidden Demon Clan for countless years, was the most frightening of all. Jiang Chen could not even fathom his true depth.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. But at this moment Jiang Chen had been completely suppressed by the two of them. Although Jiang Chen feared nothing, it had to be said that in this battle he was far more likely to lose than to win.
Jiang Chen gripped the Heavenly Dragon Sword, his sword qi sharp and cold, pointing straight at Louis XVII and Dongfang Lianshuo. Both of them were unrivaled in their pride and conceit. A dignified Lord of the Demon Clan was naturally even more arrogant and conceited, but he did indeed have the capital for it.
Jiang Chen slashed down with his sword. Louis XVII caught the sword with one hand and directly sent Jiang Chen flying back. That terrifying power, wielded with uncanny skill, deflected a thousand jin with four ounces, and even Jiang Chen grew grave. Although this Demon Emperor Lord had not broken through to the Late Divine Emperor Realm, he was still extremely terrifying. At least Jiang Chen felt he was considerably stronger than Dongfang Lianshuo.
Louis XVII turned his palm into a fist and came straight at Jiang Chen. A terrifying aura swept in like wind scattering clouds, the fist wind domineering and unrivaled. Jiang Chen blocked it with his sword but was sent flying back more than a hundred zhang, his face incomparably grave.
“I’m coming too, hahaha!”
Dongfang Lianshuo immediately charged in as well, his momentum like a rainbow, unstoppable. Gripping an Overlord Spear, he pierced the sky, turning heaven and earth upside down. As he crossed the void through the air, a single thrust of the spear burst out in tens of millions of rays!
Jiang Chen retreated step by step as the terrifying auras rolled toward him. Under the two of them joining hands in an instant, Jiang Chen was forced to fall back again and again.
Louis XVII rose with a flick of his sleeve, his long robe flaring about him as he swept it like a dragon robe, the wind howling. Jiang Chen was struck by the robe and staggered back. Dongfang Lianshuo’s momentum was at its height. As his long spear swept the void, it almost sealed off all of Jiang Chen’s retreat. With the Heavenly Dragon Sword in one hand and the Cold River Stone in the other, Jiang Chen struck out heavy blow after heavy blow. The rumbling was deafening, and heaven and earth seemed to tremble. All the birds and beasts of the Rushing Thunder Mountains were startled and fled ten thousand miles away.
Yu Jingxian’s face was deathly pale. Jiang Chen was now on the verge of defeat, and things were growing harder and harder for him. It seemed these two people were simply too terrifying, and she could not help at all.
“Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique!”
Jiang Chen used the Soaring Dragon Technique, instantly raising his strength to the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. But he was still quite passive. After all, the two of them were simply too strong. Although Jiang Chen could now block both of their attacks, completing a counterattack would be extremely difficult.
The Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique meant that Jiang Chen was constantly overdrawing his own life force. After all, forcibly raising his strength, especially at this level, was no different from pulling up seedlings to help them grow. So Jiang Chen had to make every moment count and could not give his opponents the slightest opening.
The might of the Soaring Dragon Technique also let Jiang Chen turn the tables. One against two, he could still fight so fiercely, even trading blow for blow, which greatly shocked Louis XVII and Dongfang Lianshuo. This guy was simply too abnormal. One had to know that both of them were great figures who had been famous for a long time, existences held in awe even in the Forbidden Divine Land. Yet Jiang Chen could fight one against two.
Even Dongfang Lianshuo’s eyes showed a fierce light. If he had fought Jiang Chen to the bitter end alone, who would win would still be unknown. Only Louis XVII’s arrival had let him handle things with ease. Now the two of them had Jiang Chen suppressed, but he was still neither humble nor overbearing and kept resisting to the end. The terror of the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique made both of them grow more and more grave, and they did not dare give Jiang Chen any opportunity.
“Kid, I never thought you’d have so many tricks. It seems I really underestimated you.”
Dongfang Lianshuo said with a cold laugh. His divine spear fell like a setting sun, a long rainbow soaring up, and once again pressed Jiang Chen down. Streaks of piercing cold light pierced the void. Jiang Chen retreated again and again and was completely suppressed by Dongfang Lianshuo. Jiang Chen’s situation grew harder and harder. And Louis XVII was even more terrifying than Dongfang Lianshuo. Each of his moves seemed rather hesitant, yet those seemingly slow moves left Jiang Chen nowhere to dodge. That relentless, hunting kind of attack was what was truly frightening. Punch after punch smashed onto Jiang Chen’s shoulders and the Heavenly Dragon Sword, and the recoil force did enormous damage to almost all of Jiang Chen’s internal organs.
“Bastards, these two damned guys!”
Jiang Chen said through gritted teeth. The oppression in his heart could not have been greater. At this moment he understood even better that his crisis had finally arrived.
“Limitless Sword, the Seventeenth Sword!”
Jiang Chen’s sword once again displayed terrifying might. The Limitless Sword, a sword without limits. Now Jiang Chen had raised the Limitless Sword yet again through step-by-step deduction and worked out the Seventeenth Sword. Its terrifying aura surpassed the Sixteenth Sword, even multiplying several times over. The swordplay was cunning and swept across heaven and earth. Countless sword shadows raged out invincibly, almost piercing through the void.
“Truly a troublesome little guy.”
Louis XVII’s eyes gradually turned cold, and the chill at the corner of his mouth grew even more obvious. At this time he was finally going to display his true strength. This Early Divine Emperor brat had indeed given him too many surprises and shocks, but surviving in his hands would be far from that simple.
“Black Demon Holy Origin Qi!”
Louis XVII formed seals with both hands, his palms changing. A terrifying thunderous origin qi continuously swelled out from his hands, almost as if it would sweep across the heavens.
“Go and die!”
Louis XVII pushed out both hands, calm and composed, while Jiang Chen faced him as if facing a great enemy, retreating step by step, his face incomparably grave. The Seventeenth Sword raged out and intertwined with Louis XVII’s Black Demon Holy Origin Qi. That terrifying power sent Jiang Chen flying back, but it did not wound him.
Louis XVII, on the other hand, remained completely at ease, but the coldness deep in his eyes became more and more chilling.
“Good kid, you can actually block my Black Demon Holy Origin Qi. It seems you really make me more and more curious.”
Louis XVII and Dongfang Lianshuo closed in again. Two auras that could destroy heaven and earth left Jiang Chen with nowhere to hide. At this moment, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, and with one sword swept across the four seas and nine regions, yet he still could not stop the attacks of the two. Under their impact Jiang Chen was sent flying backward, and his injuries were quite serious.
“This day next year will be the anniversary of your death. Go and die!”
Dongfang Lianshuo’s eyes were as cold as frost, and at this moment Jiang Chen was also slowly gathering the four Heavenly Lightnings together.
But a black-clad figure rushed out at this moment and placed himself before the two of them, saying lightly:
“You go first. Leave this to me.”
