Dragon-Marked War God

“This old man is Jian Wu, Great Elder of the Drawing Sword Sect. I wonder if you two would do this old man the small favor of stopping for now. Once you enter Myriad Swords City, you two will naturally have your chance to fight. How would that be?”

Jian Wu said with a light laugh. At this point even Jun Tianchou knew this battle could no longer be fought at all, because as long as Jian Wu was here, there was no way he could succeed. With a single palm he had separated the two of them. Who could stand against such terror? At least Jun Tianchou knew that he did not have the ability right now.

At a conservative estimate, Jian Wu’s strength now had reached the Major Heaven-Reaching stage of the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. One had to know that the gap between the Divine Emperor Realm and the God Emperor Realm was so great not only because the Great Emperor Realm was so hard to reach and spiritual energy so scarce, leaving very few experts able to advance to it. More importantly, within the Divine Emperor Realm, every level was further divided into Minor Heaven-Reaching, Major Heaven-Reaching and Great Perfection. Jiang Chen now was at most equivalent to the Minor Heaven-Reaching stage of the Early Divine Emperor Realm. Crossing into the Mid Divine Emperor Realm was already extremely difficult.

It was said that a God Emperor reached the heavens, but no one knew who could actually rise that far. For far too many people, this step was like an uncrossable chasm.

Jiang Chen’s expression was also indifferent. Even the Great Elder of Myriad Swords City had come out. If they kept fighting, they would not be here to compete for Sword Lord and take part in the Lishan Sword Ceremony. They would be here to smash the place up.

“The Great Elder of the Drawing Sword Sect! My heavens, even the Great Elder of the Drawing Sword Sect has come out. It seems their battle really was incomparably fierce.”

“Yes. It seems Jun Tianchou of the Jun Family still carries a lot of weight, hahaha.”

“The Great Elder of the Drawing Sword Sect separated a Mid Divine Emperor and an Early Divine Emperor with a single palm. Then how strong must he be?”

“There are only four words to describe it: unfathomably deep…”

Shock was written on everyone’s face. It seemed this trip had not been in vain. Even the Great Elder of the Drawing Sword Sect had appeared, and had even stepped in to stop the fight between the two.

Jun Tianchou’s reputation was well known, domineering and unrivaled. Jiang Chen was unknown, yet he had shocked the world. This battle was destined to push Jiang Chen to the summit of the Central Region Divine Land, or at least let him gain a firm foothold and let everyone know of his existence.

That was exactly Jiang Chen’s aim. Borrowing momentum to show his might, he would let all under heaven know of his existence, and let Xiao Yu, wherever fate had taken her, know that he was already in the Central Region Divine Land, quietly waiting for her to appear and searching for her trail.

Jiang Chen’s thoughts turned. He knew very well that today’s battle would certainly be quite difficult. It was not just Jun Tianchou. Jun Tianchou was only one of his opponents. The truly terrifying ones were those who had not yet appeared, even those long-famous super experts who wanted to become a Sword Lord of the Drawing Sword Sect through the Lishan Sword Ceremony.

Yan Qingcheng gazed at Jiang Chen’s back from afar. She always felt that this person’s figure kept leaping and overlapping in her mind. But she still held him a thousand miles away. It was a resistance from deep in her heart, the same toward everyone, not just Jiang Chen.

Yan Qingcheng even wondered why, in her memory, apart from her two sisters, there was no one at all. Jiang Chen did whatever she said and swore earnestly to her, yet she did not know how to face him or deal with him. What did this person actually like about her? Was it lust for her beauty, or truly endless longing? Yan Qingcheng had no way of knowing.

No one could get close to her, and no one could win her trust. She was like a cold-blooded creature, without feelings, without trust.

Yan Qingcheng’s heart was as still as water. She was like an onlooker from outside the world, unmoved by external things amid the mortal world. Now there was only one belief in her heart: follow Jiang Chen and find her sisters.

“Lucky for you, Jiang Chen! Don’t let me run into you again. I, Jun Tianchou, swear that this time you are doomed to die.”

Jun Tianchou stared fixedly at Jiang Chen. If not for this Great Elder of the Drawing Sword Sect, Jian Wu, he would certainly have killed Jiang Chen here.

“Since that’s the case, then letting you live a few more days doesn’t matter. Great Elder, this should count as following the rules of the Drawing Sword Sect, right?”

Jun Tianchou looked at Jian Wu and said. With the Jun Family as his strong backing, Jun Tianchou naturally had no fear of Jian Wu. Still, the Jun Family’s strength was in the end a notch below the Drawing Sword Sect’s, though the difference was not great. Otherwise Jun Tianchou could not have spoken so bluntly in front of Jian Wu.

“Hahaha, good, good, good. Young Master Jun worries too much. This is excellent. This old man is extremely grateful, haha. You two, inside Myriad Swords City there will be a battle in the end. Come.”

With that, Jian Wu stood with his hands at his sides and strode off into the air, a hint of coldness in his eyes, because he did not think Jiang Chen could defeat Jun Tianchou. This guy was merely lucky. Since he happened to be here, he naturally could not ignore it and let this fight break out outside Myriad Swords City. Wouldn’t that be slapping his Drawing Sword Sect in the face?

“I hope your words aren’t baseless. If you want to kill me, this little ability you have now is nowhere near enough.”

Jiang Chen said lightly.

“You will pay for your arrogance today. New grudges and old hatreds, we’ll settle them all together. Then you’ll know how you’re going to die.”

Jun Tianchou’s face was full of coldness.

Countless spectators were somewhat disappointed. They had thought they would witness a great battle of a Mid Divine Emperor Realm expert, but who could have known it would be stopped by the elder of the Drawing Sword Sect? The battle inside Myriad Swords City was not something everyone could see. To witness the splendor of the Divine Emperor Realm, one’s strength had to reach at least the Hierarch level to have a chance of being invited inside.

The Drawing Sword Sect was located inside Myriad Swords City. In that moment, as Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over the Drawing Sword Sect’s boundless mountains, rivers and mist stretching for ten thousand miles, he was quite shaken. This Myriad Swords City was actually one incomparable sect-protecting great formation. There were formations within formations. The Drawing Sword Sect was a formation too, formations linked to one another, formations connected to formations. Even Jiang Chen became incomparably grave.

There might well be masters in this Drawing Sword Sect. The terror of this formation was such that even Jiang Chen did not dare say he could definitely break it. It seemed this Drawing Sword Sect really had a profound foundation and could not be underestimated.

Hundreds of Hierarch experts stepped into Myriad Swords City at this time and began flocking toward the Drawing Sword Sect. As for those whose strength was low, even only Divine King or Heavenly God experts, they could only wait in Myriad Swords City, hoping they might be lucky enough to see a battle between Divine Emperor Realm experts. Otherwise, it was something rarely seen in the Divine World even once in ten thousand years.
