Dragon-Marked War God

At this moment, some of the truly strong had not shown themselves but were hiding and watching in secret. This Lishan Sword Ceremony of Myriad Swords City had drawn far too many people. Countless Divine King and Divine Emperor Realm experts had all come at this time to watch the battle, hoping it would help them and let them break through quickly in their cultivation.

“That person can’t possibly be a nobody. Otherwise, how could he fight the peerless genius of the Jun Family to a draw?”

“But this person has never appeared before, and there has never been any trace of him. Even if we want to know who he is, we have no way of finding out.”

“It seems the strong of this world really aren’t something people like us can know. Countless experts live in seclusion for tens of millions of years, and once they come out, they shock the world.”

Everyone was guessing at Jiang Chen’s identity, because his strength was too great and made people wary. Among the strong between heaven and earth, among the experts of the Divine Emperor Realm, there had never been a nobody.

Because they did not know that Jiang Chen had risen far too quickly, so quickly that people could not believe it, let alone know about it.

Even countless disciples within Myriad Swords City were silently watching this battle.

The Lishan Sword Ceremony was to find a new generation’s Sword Lord. Myriad Swords City, the Drawing Sword Sect, had nine Sword Lords in all. Whenever a Sword Lord fell, a new Sword Lord would be chosen to take his place. The last Sword Lord had fallen many years ago, and there had been no opportunity to find a new Sword Lord, so a new Sword Lord was being sought at this Lishan Sword Ceremony.

Above the nine Sword Lords was the Sect Master of the Drawing Sword Sect. The nine Sword Lords had to be at the Divine Emperor Realm, and the strength of the nine Sword Lords was closely tied to the entire Drawing Sword Sect. The nine Sword Lords joining together could even overrule the Sect Master. One could see how formidable the Sword Lords of this Drawing Sword Sect were.

Those disciples of the Drawing Sword Sect were also incomparably grave, because very likely one of these two people would become one of the most formidable Sword Lords of the entire Drawing Sword Sect. Anything was possible.

No one knew who the person fighting the peerless genius of the Jun Family really was. But amid the vast sea of people, a woman as cold and beautiful as frost was silently watching the figure in the void. In that moment, a myriad of emotions welled up in her heart. She did not even know how to face his presence.

“Why do we meet again here?”

Tantai Jingzang murmured. She was the representative sent by the Fossil Sect, and one of the few Divine Emperor Realm experts of the Fossil Sect. If she could win the position of Sword Lord in the Drawing Sword Sect, the whole Fossil Sect would be completely promoted to a great sect. It would be as good as securing the Drawing Sword Sect as its backer and becoming family. At that time, who would dare provoke them?

The current Tantai Jingzang had also fully awakened and broken through to the Divine Emperor Realm. She was one of the most promising candidates in this contest for Sword Lord.

But the moment Tantai Jingzang saw Jiang Chen appear, she knew that she and he could not escape a fate in which they were bound to clash.

That Tantai Jingzang had been able to come out of the undersea divine tomb had a great deal to do with Jiang Chen. It could be said that without Jiang Chen, she would never have survived. She truly did not want to face Jiang Chen. But in this Lishan Sword Ceremony, in the contest for the final position of Sword Lord, Tantai Jingzang had no choice but to fight, to fight for her sect. Although she had been no match for Jiang Chen back then, she was now no longer what she had been. Everyone was changing, everyone was growing stronger, everyone was silently moving forward.

“I hope we won’t become opponents in the end.”

Tantai Jingzang’s heart was incomparably bitter, because after fully awakening, she was no longer the Tantai Jingzang of the past. There were many things that even the Fossil Sect did not know. In her inherited memories, she was destined to be someone who would change the great trend of the world.

At this moment, the battle in the void between Jiang Chen and Jun Tianchou had also reached a white-hot stage. The two were similar in strength. Even the Early Divine Emperor Jiang Chen was not the least bit inferior against Jun Tianchou. It was even an equal contest, which made Jun Tianchou extremely furious. At this time, he was determined to kill Jiang Chen and establish his authority in this battle. After entering Myriad Swords City, his reputation would rise along with it.

Most importantly, Jun Tianchou knew that if he killed Jiang Chen, this inner demon, his strength would make a qualitative leap. He would definitely become ten times, a hundred times stronger than he was now, or even more.

“Jiang Chen, go and die! Gentleman’s Sword, Falling Flowers Have Intent!”

Jun Tianchou roared furiously and soared up, his sword sweeping the world. His sword light pressed down on the void, which cracked inch by inch. At this moment Jiang Chen was not to be outdone either, and the coldness in his eyes grew even heavier.

“The Seventeenth Sword!”

Jiang Chen and Jun Tianchou both cut through the peak of the heavens. Their two figures rose out of endless dust. The terrifying shockwave drove back countless spectators, while Jiang Chen and Jun Tianchou still stood tall in the middle.

As the dust settled, light blazed in both their eyes, incomparably cold, because each wanted to kill the other without leaving the slightest leeway. But in the end, neither could do anything to the other.

“This is truly terrifying. This peerless genius of the Jun Family is frightening to an outrageous degree.”

“That unknown expert is the one who’s truly terrifying. That guy is fighting Jun Tianchou with the strength of the Early Divine Emperor Realm. You have to know Jun Tianchou has the strength of the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. Even in the Central Region Divine Land, that’s an extraordinarily terrifying existence.”

“Now it just depends on who comes out ahead. Myriad Swords City hasn’t even opened yet and we’ve already witnessed such a terrifying great battle. It seems today wasn’t a wasted trip after all, hahaha.”

But at this moment, Jun Tianchou still did not pause at all. The two of them clashed together, their collision carrying an intimidating force like meteorites crashing into each other, once again stirring up fiery red tornadoes between heaven and earth that swept across the sky and ravaged the mountain peaks.

“If I don’t kill you today, I, Jun Tianchou, swear I’m not human!”

Jun Tianchou stepped up into the sky, to the summit of the heavens. His figure kept growing larger, and the Gentleman’s Sword in his hand also became peerless.

Jiang Chen trod the Azure Dragon Five Steps, rising step by step into the sky. The clash between the two kept changing the wind and clouds of heaven and earth for ten thousand miles outside Myriad Swords City. The walls of the whole of Myriad Swords City seemed about to topple.

“You two, fighting like this right outside my Myriad Swords City seems somewhat against the rules, doesn’t it?”

An incomparably indifferent voice appeared in the void. A white-clad old man, treading on blue clouds, completely separated Jun Tianchou and Jiang Chen with a raise of his hand. That terrifying pressure was something Jiang Chen had never experienced. Even Jun Tianchou was no exception, staggering back two steps. The white-clad old man, meanwhile, stood with his hands at his sides, a faint smile on his lips, as if in an instant he could make heaven and earth change color and turn everything to ash.

Jiang Chen and Jun Tianchou both knew that this person’s strength far surpassed their own.
