Chapter 3380 – The Terror of the Candle Dragon Sword
When the Candle Dragon Sword emerged, even Jiang Chen was greatly shocked. The terror of this Candle Dragon Sword seemed not to fall short even of his own Heavenly Dragon Sword. The killing qi in it was also terrifyingly abundant, almost as if it wanted to burst out of the sword. That might was heart-stopping.
Everyone could feel the terror of that Candle Dragon Sword. Held in Jiang Chen’s hand, its sword qi was overwhelming, soul-stealing and terrifying.
Jiang Chen gripped the Candle Dragon Sword tightly, but it was already quite difficult, because there seemed to be an extremely powerful soul inside it trying to break free of his restraint and soar into the sky.
“This artifact spirit really is a bit terrifying.”
Jiang Chen’s face changed slightly. But by now he had already become everyone’s target, and on top of that the Candle Dragon Sword kept shaking violently, as if about to break out of his grasp.
“What tremendous might this Candle Dragon Sword has.”
Tantai Jingzang knit her delicate brows and said in a low voice. Although the Candle Dragon Sword was in Jiang Chen’s hand, everyone wanted it for themselves. But anyone could see that the Candle Dragon Sword now seemed extremely hard to control. Even Jiang Chen was having a hard time controlling it. If they got the Candle Dragon Sword, they would very likely be hamstrung too. Rather than a peerless divine weapon, the Candle Dragon Sword right now was more like a hot potato.
Jiang Chen’s face looked terrible. He used every trick he had just to subdue this Candle Dragon Sword. And at this time, Jun Tianchou and the others seemed ready to attack him. The whole Lishan Sword Tomb was on the brink of a fight.
“Kid, it looks like you don’t deserve this Candle Dragon Sword at all, hahaha.”
Someone sneered and charged at Jiang Chen. Together with Jun Tianchou, four of them in all surged forward, all aiming straight for the Candle Dragon Sword in Jiang Chen’s hand.
Jiang Chen knew that controlling the Candle Dragon Sword now was just too hard, and with his current strength, holding off Jun Tianchou and the other three Divine Emperor experts would indeed be quite difficult. But if he let go of this Candle Dragon Sword, getting it back would be a thousand times harder.
“Jiang Chen, I’ll help you!”
Xue Liang shouted in a deep voice and charged over without the slightest hesitation, standing in front of Jiang Chen. The two exchanged a glance. Facing Jun Tianchou and the other three charging at them, the killing intent in Xue Liang’s eyes grew heavier and heavier.
With Xue Liang joining in, Jiang Chen’s situation became a lot easier.
Xue Liang took on three by himself, directly blocking three Early Divine Emperor experts. He held the Immortal Execution Sword, his domineering might sweeping across. The moment the Immortal Execution Sword appeared, everyone was rather surprised. This Immortal Execution Sword could actually match the Candle Dragon Sword. Xue Liang, however, was unhurried as he met the three Early Divine Emperor experts. Streaks of Immortal Execution Sword Intent slashed in every direction, and Xue Liang fought the three to his heart’s content, without being pressed in the slightest.
On the contrary, Xue Liang’s strength was formidable enough that, combined with the Immortal Execution Sword Intent, he almost left the three of them unable to take a single step.
Xue Liang had blocked three people, but the one Jiang Chen faced was Jun Tianchou. When enemies meet, their eyes burn red. The two of them clashed once more, and that feeling of being entangled in life and death made Jiang Chen all the more grave.
“Jiang Chen, this time you’re definitely going to fall into my hands.”
Jun Tianchou said in a deep voice, his eyes wide with fury, staring fixedly at Jiang Chen. Even if Jiang Chen did not have the Candle Dragon Sword in his hand, he would never let the matter rest. At this point, he was determined to fight Jiang Chen to the death.
He wanted the Candle Dragon Sword, and he wanted Jiang Chen’s life as well.
“I’m afraid you don’t have the ability.”
Jiang Chen said coldly. The Candle Dragon Sword in his hand kept trembling. Jiang Chen looked up. He could feel that in the void above, over Lishan, endless Heavenly Lightning seemed to be gathering. It was the Candle Dragon Sword that had drawn it.
“Gentleman’s Sword, the Sword Shatters the Starry Sky Across Ten Thousand Li!”
Jun Tianchou’s eyes were icy, his sword momentum flying like a wild goose. The Candle Dragon Sword in Jiang Chen’s hand also swept out. Although Jiang Chen could not yet fully control it, that dreadful killing qi forced Jun Tianchou straight back, and Jun Tianchou’s face looked extremely ugly.
Killing qi soared into the sky, and the sword qi hummed without end. At this time, holding the Candle Dragon Sword, Jiang Chen was already nearly invincible. That killing qi fused with the sword qi was enough to strike terror into anyone’s heart.
Jun Tianchou could not be called weak, but at this time his strength was completely suppressed, because his opponent Jiang Chen was just too strong, and with the Candle Dragon Sword in hand, Jiang Chen split mountains with overwhelming force and no one could match him. His sword shattered the starry sky and tore apart ten thousand li of void.
“Be destroyed!”
Jiang Chen’s qi shook the nine heavens. With one sword stroke, ten thousand swords snapped. No one could block this sword. Jiang Chen’s stroke was full of endless might and peerless pressure. Jun Tianchou was forced back by Jiang Chen again, retreating more than ten steps before he barely steadied himself. That incomparable pressure made him extremely uncomfortable. Once the killing qi came out, heaven and earth changed color. The entire Lishan Sword Tomb was in turmoil, and the billions upon billions of divine weapons trembled along with it. Jiang Chen’s own strength was not originally this great, but this Candle Dragon Sword was just too terrifying. That boundless killing qi made everyone’s faces extremely grave.
Jun Tianchou had wanted to be the first to make a move, but he had failed badly. The Candle Dragon Sword he had longed for had, in Jiang Chen’s hand, forced him back time and again.
“Without the Candle Dragon Sword, what are you?”
Jun Tianchou was furious and unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing he could do about how outrageously strong the Candle Dragon Sword was.
“Without the Candle Dragon Sword, if I wanted to kill you, it would still be as easy as taking something out of my pocket.”
Jiang Chen said coldly. But at this time, Jian Dongliu and Li Wuhui also seemed to be getting restless. Seizing the Candle Dragon Sword was not something that could be done overnight, so they had to defeat Jiang Chen quickly. Only by defeating Jiang Chen first would they have a chance to take the Candle Dragon Sword.
“Things seem a little too comfortable for you.”
Li Wuhui picked Xue Liang as his target. From the very beginning, the two of them had been at odds. Now that Xue Liang was taking on three by himself, he naturally would not pass up such a good opportunity. This was how he could push Xue Liang into a desperate situation. Xue Liang and Jiang Chen were close, and once Xue Liang was defeated, it would not be long before Jiang Chen gave in as well.
“If you have the ability, then kill me. What kind of hero just shows off with his mouth? Do you think I, Xue Liang, am afraid of you? Hahaha.”
Xue Liang said with a loud laugh. Li Wuhui quickly joined the fight and forced Xue Liang straight back, leaving him in a very sorry state.
Jian Dongliu, meanwhile, set his sights on Jiang Chen. Only if Jiang Chen lost would he have a chance to obtain the Candle Dragon Sword. As the Drawing Sword Sect’s genius disciple, Jian Dongliu carried a heavy burden on a long road. He had to obtain the Candle Dragon Sword to prove the might of the Drawing Sword Sect. The Sect Master and the eight Sword Lords also hoped that he would obtain the Candle Dragon Sword, prove his great Dao and become the ninth Sword Lord of the Drawing Sword Sect.
But everyone present was very strong, so for Jian Dongliu to dominate alone and obtain the Candle Dragon Sword was nothing but a fool’s dream.
