Chapter 3364 – When the Lotus Blooms, Death Arrives
“Bring it on! Then I’ll see just how arrogant the people of the Futu Pagoda really are!”
Jiang Chen also roared furiously, his fighting spirit unmatched. In his heart there was an incomparably firm belief. Qingcheng was his courage. In this battle Jiang Chen would surely look on death as going home. Even if it meant wounding the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred himself, he would not hesitate.
Hao Yunhang was even more frightening than Yun Geyao. His fist momentum was full of explosive power, and he used the Dragon-Elephant Power to the fullest. Even Jiang Chen did not dare claim to beat him in strength.
In an incomparably fierce exchange of blows, Jiang Chen became extremely passive at Hao Yunhang’s hands. In his earlier battle with Yun Geyao, he had forcibly used the Sui Tian Seal, and his strength had been weakened considerably. Only thirty or forty percent remained. Fighting Hao Yunhang at full strength was simply too difficult.
But Jiang Chen had no choice. If he retreated now, it would be hard for him to find any trace of Qingcheng again. So in this battle, even if he had to grit his teeth, he had to hold on and fight to the very end.
“Limitless Sword! The Seventeenth Sword!”
Jiang Chen gripped the Heavenly Dragon Sword and began charging once more. Although his situation was extremely passive, Jiang Chen had to strike first and do it in one burst of energy. If he were suppressed again now, things would be even harder, and he might not even have a chance to raise his head again. Jiang Chen did not dare slack off. Hao Yunhang’s fist momentum was like a rainbow, every move deadly. As one punch went out, wind, rain and thunder stirred, and the whole of Qionghua Mountain seemed about to topple.
“Your sword is my sword!”
With a turn of his hand, Hao Yunhang smashed out a punch. Heaven and earth changed color as it met Jiang Chen’s hard strike. The incomparably sharp Heavenly Dragon Sword, relying on its terrifying momentum, finally forced Hao Yunhang back a step. Hao Yunhang’s hand was dripping with blood. The sword had torn through his attack.
But Jiang Chen’s injuries grew more and more serious. That punch shook mountains and rivers. His whole body and all his internal organs were violently shaken. That powerful pressure sent Jiang Chen flying back in an instant, his face pale, and blood spurted out as well.
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. This was not wounding the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred. It was simply losing a thousand himself while wounding the enemy eight hundred. The injuries he had suffered were far heavier than Hao Yunhang’s.
At this moment, Hao Yunhang frowned, his eyes icy. Although his punch had carried great momentum, it had not completely crushed Jiang Chen, which made Hao Yunhang extremely annoyed. This Jiang Chen really was a tough nut. He actually had such strong defensive power.
“Let’s see how long you can keep laughing, hmph.”
Hao Yunhang shouted coldly and came at him fiercely. At this moment his goal was to obliterate Jiang Chen and make this guy vanish from the world from now on. He had pursued Yun Geyao for hundreds of thousands of years without any response. To protect Yun Geyao, he had guarded below Qionghua Mountain for thirty thousand years. At this moment he could finally show off his skills before the one he loved. For Yun Geyao’s sake, Hao Yunhang would not show the slightest mercy.
Although he was not a disciple under Buddha Long Xiang, Hao Yunhang’s strength and status were no less than Yun Geyao’s. Within the Futu Pagoda, Hao Yunhang’s strength was also among those who counted.
“Then it depends on whether you have the capital to kill me.”
Jiang Chen grinned, a bloodthirsty look amid the blood. Facing Hao Yunhang, Jiang Chen was not the least bit afraid. At worst, they would go down together.
“Five Elements Divine Dragon Seal!”
Jiang Chen struck out with a seal. Five dragons roared in incomparable fury. Flaming wild dragons raged across the sky and completely covered Hao Yunhang.
“Sky-Piercing Strike! Shadowless Fist!”
Hao Yunhang roared furiously. A fist and a seal interwove with each other. Brute strength overcomes ten kinds of skill, and Hao Yunhang was in the end one move ahead. At this moment Jiang Chen was forced back again. Gripping the Heavenly Dragon Sword, he dropped to one knee, looking rather sorry.
“I told you, you simply aren’t good enough.”
Hao Yunhang shook his head, his eyes having already lost patience with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen slowly stood up, an unwavering resolve between his brows.
“You forced me to this. Now, all of you, go and die.”
Jiang Chen clenched both hands. Two Heavenly Lightning Spirits gathered in his hands. The Dawn Sky Golden Lightning and the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning merged and intertwined with each other. That terrifying feeling made one’s heart palpitate.
“Heavenly Lightning? Although it’s strong, wanting to kill me with just these two Heavenly Lightnings is an idiot’s dream.”
Hao Yunhang said dismissively.
“Is that so? Then what about this?”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and spat out a Heavenly Lightning Spirit. It was the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning.
At this point, Hao Yunhang’s face turned grave. Three kinds of Heavenly Lightning were actually gradually fusing in Jiang Chen’s hands. That terrifying might did indeed bring Hao Yunhang no small pressure.
“Let’s see how long you can keep laughing. Heavenly Lightning can be fused too? Heh, you’re just seeking your own death.”
Before Hao Yunhang had even finished speaking, Jiang Chen spat out a fourth Heavenly Lightning Spirit from his mouth, the Thousand Flames Annihilation Lightning!
“What! That’s impossible!”
Such terrifying thunderous power instantly pierced through the void. At this moment the four Heavenly Lightnings were gradually fusing together. Hao Yunhang went from disdain at first, to gravity, and now to a drastically changed face, his expression very complicated.
“Four Heavenly Lightnings. He has actually fused four Heavenly Lightnings completely together! How is this possible…”
Yun Geyao murmured, her eyes full of shock. She had already thought Jiang Chen was doomed to die, but now it seemed the battle was far from over.
These four Heavenly Lightnings, each more formidable than the last, were gradually fusing. In their eyes this was simply a fantasy. How violent a Heavenly Lightning Spirit was went without saying. Completely fusing the power of four Heavenly Lightnings was simply suicide.
But Jiang Chen had done it, and he looked as though he did it with ease. The fusion of these Heavenly Lightning Spirits made him look even more confident.
“This…”
Yun Geyao and Hao Yunhang exchanged a glance. Both of them felt an extremely terrifying pressure. That invisible intimidation made both of them feel the threat of death. It was a fusion of Heavenly Lightning terrifying to an outrageous degree. A black lotus of death gradually took shape in Jiang Chen’s hand. Both of them subconsciously took a step back, but Jiang Chen did not retreat. Instead he stared fixedly at the two of them. The Death Lightning Lotus in his hand was already aimed at them, and it came blasting straight down!
Yun Geyao and Hao Yunhang had no way at all to deal with it. They could only defend passively, but in their eyes this blow was simply far too terrifying. The moment Jiang Chen hurled the Death Lightning Lotus into the void, it began to move faster and faster. Hao Yunhang’s and Yun Geyao’s faces changed drastically and turned ghastly pale. The aura of death filled the space around them. At this moment, the lotus of death formed from the fusion of four Heavenly Lightnings finally burst into full bloom.
Despair was written all over both their faces. At this moment, all of Qionghua Mountain shook. That terrifying energy fluctuation plunged almost the entire sky into a deathly silence.
When the lotus blooms, death arrives!
