Dragon-Marked War God

Everyone was extremely grave, because the Candle Dragon Sword was no longer in Tuoba Longyu’s hand. If they wanted to obtain it, they could only keep searching through the vast Lishan Sword Tomb. With so many divine weapons, sabers, spears, swords and halberds, trying to find the Candle Dragon Sword among countless divine weapons was no different from looking for a needle in the ocean.

But even knowing it was like looking for a needle in the ocean, none of them would give up. This was their only goal, and that fact could not be changed. Only the Candle Dragon Sword was the symbol of a Sword Lord. Whoever obtained the Candle Dragon Sword would become the next Sword Lord, on an equal footing with the other eight Sword Lords.

Although they were extremely angry with Tuoba Longyu, there was nothing they could do now, because Tuoba Longyu had already released the Candle Dragon Sword. They could only rely on themselves to find it.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Everyone cared about the Candle Dragon Sword. He alone cared about Tuoba Longyu’s identity. He very likely had a significant connection to the Craftsman God, but the Craftsman God was, after all, from too long ago, so this Tuoba Longyu was most likely connected to Shangguan Hongyan.

Jiang Chen could not help wanting to probe his background.

“Bastard, you damned guy. Once I find the Candle Dragon Sword, I’ll settle accounts with you.”

Jun Tianchou’s face was dark, and he snorted coldly. But he also knew that at the moment, picking a fight with this Tuoba Longyu would be completely pointless. Xue Liang, Tantai Jingzang and the others had already begun searching for the Candle Dragon Sword. If he was half a beat slower, he might not even see a shadow of the Candle Dragon Sword.

He who strikes first prevails, he who strikes late suffers. Although they were all groping in the dark, it all came down to whose luck was better.

At this time, apart from Jiang Chen, everyone had begun a frantic search. Whoever found the Candle Dragon Sword would be the one to represent the Sword Lord.

“Why aren’t you looking for the Candle Dragon Sword?”

Tuoba Longyu looked at Jiang Chen with narrowed eyes. He felt that this guy had been watching him the whole time.

“I don’t have the Candle Dragon Sword on me. Maybe you picked the wrong person.”

Tuoba Longyu sneered and looked at Jiang Chen with disdain. Could this guy really be so full of himself as to think the Candle Dragon Sword was still on him?

“I know you don’t have the Candle Dragon Sword, because the Candle Dragon Sword is constantly devouring the killing qi in the Lishan Sword Tomb. So what I want to know is how you refined this peerless divine weapon.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Naturally I relied on my own peerless skills, the might of a refining grandmaster, to refine such a terrifying peerless divine weapon. Don’t think that just because your last hammer blow helped me finish forging the Candle Dragon Sword, I’ll tell you where the Candle Dragon Sword is. You’re overthinking it. Hmph.”

Tuoba Longyu said disdainfully. That hammer blow was probably just a coincidence. Jiang Chen had wanted to suppress the Candle Dragon Sword’s attacks and brought the hammer down, never expecting such a change. But this Jiang Chen was no pushover either. He had come in here for no other reason than to take the Candle Dragon Sword from him.

“Oh, is that so? Then where did Grandmaster Tuoba learn these refining skills of yours?”

Jiang Chen continued.

Tuoba Longyu’s face darkened, and he stared coldly at Jiang Chen.

“What do you mean by that? Where I learned my skills has nothing to do with you.”

Tuoba Longyu was full of hostility toward Jiang Chen. Compared with before, his eyes had grown even more sinister.

“I’m quite interested in the art of refining myself, so I’d also like to find a master to learn from.”

Jiang Chen said.

“Then why don’t you take me as your master? Hahaha, kowtow to me three times first.”

Tuoba Longyu laughed wildly, extremely arrogant.

“You’re not qualified. But I think that in all the world, there should be only one person who could teach me.”

Jiang Chen’s words made Tuoba Longyu’s face change slightly. Only one person. This set his mind racing even more. Who that one person was, Tuoba Longyu seemed to have already guessed, because between heaven and earth, there was only one person whose refining skills were greater than his, and that person was his master.

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

Tuoba Longyu stared fixedly at Jiang Chen. There was definitely a hidden meaning in this guy’s words.

“Heh heh, it seems you really aren’t the strongest refining grandmaster between heaven and earth.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, deliberately trying to trick the truth out of Tuoba Longyu.

“That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.”

“If it has nothing to do with me, does it have something to do with you? Do I even need to say who the strongest refining grandmaster in all the world is? Isn’t Shangguan Hongyan your master?”

Jiang Chen said calmly.

“No!”

Tuoba Longyu said firmly, and a flash of panic even passed through his eyes.

“No? Senior Brother, you’re really getting more and more disappointing. You don’t even dare to acknowledge your own master. What should I say about you?”

Jiang Chen said with a smile. Tuoba Longyu stared at Jiang Chen with an ugly expression and staggered back two steps.

“Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! Master said he would never take another disciple in this lifetime. Who exactly are you!”

Tuoba Longyu stared at Jiang Chen almost madly, yet he was also extremely uneasy. That anxious, worried look made Jiang Chen even more certain that this guy was Shangguan Hongyan’s disciple, inextricably connected to Shangguan Hongyan. But why he refused to admit being Shangguan Hongyan’s disciple made Jiang Chen extremely curious.

“Who am I? Am I not your junior brother?”

The smile at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth grew brighter.

“That’s impossible. Master would never break his oath.”

Tuoba Longyu looked as if he did not believe Jiang Chen at all, but the expression on his face was growing uglier and uglier, showing that his heart had been trembling the whole time.

“You don’t believe me? Then do you really think that hammer blow just now was something I swung at random and that happened to help you finish the Candle Dragon Sword? And why would I not even care about the Candle Dragon Sword and stay here wasting words with you? Do you really think you’re that important? In my eyes, you’re a coward.”

Jiang Chen sneered.

Tuoba Longyu’s face grew darker and darker, and his whole body began to tremble. He had not expected Jiang Chen to speak so rudely and so aggressively. He actually knew his master, and even claimed to be his junior brother.

“What a joke, hahaha. Do you really think I’ll believe you? Back then Master swore an oath that he would never take another disciple. I don’t care who you are. Today, it’s you or me, to the death. You dare to insult my master? Then go and die.”

Tuoba Longyu’s whole body shook. He was stronger than Jiang Chen, so wiping this guy out would not take much effort.

“Have you forgotten the Craftsman God’s Codex?”

That one sentence from Jiang Chen instantly made Tuoba Longyu extremely grave. When he looked at Jiang Chen again, his gaze was full of complicated emotions, and the killing intent in his eyes receded like the tide.
