Dragon-Marked War God

It had to be said that Niu Tianlang was even stronger than Jiang Chen had imagined. To be able to become the Palace Lord of the Profound Connection Divine Palace, his strength was beyond doubt. Moreover, he had been traveling abroad all these years and must have gone through many dangers. That his strength had reached this point was only to be expected.

Jiang Chen’s situation grew harder with every step. The twin meteor hammers tore across the sky, pressing down layer upon layer and leaving Jiang Chen nowhere to hide.

“Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique!”

Using the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique, Jiang Chen grew more and more formidable in his fierce fight with Niu Tianlang. Wave after wave of terrifying war hammer shadows filled the sky and came crashing down. That pressure from deep within the soul made Jiang Chen extremely grave, but at least he had now stabilized the situation. The Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique had raised his strength almost to the Great Perfection of the Early Divine Emperor Realm, even infinitely close to the Mid Divine Emperor Realm.

“Struggling to the last!”

Niu Tianlang sneered. His giant hammers swept across the sky and came crashing down, his momentum as fierce as a tiger.

“Divine Golden Bell, suppress!”

Jiang Chen grabbed the Eastern Emperor Bell and brought it out directly. The Eastern Emperor Bell shone brilliantly and crashed fiercely into Niu Tianlang’s twin meteor hammers.

This time, Jiang Chen was as steady as Mount Tai. The Eastern Emperor Bell’s might was fully revealed, and he fought Niu Tianlang directly to a draw. Both of them were pushed back. Niu Tianlang was also extremely shocked. Relying on the divine weapon in his hand, Jiang Chen could actually contend with him. That an Early Divine Emperor had such fighting strength was truly shocking. No wonder he had been able to sweep through the Profound Connection Divine Palace back then. This battle was extremely important for Niu Tianlang. He had to put Jiang Chen to death so that his two brothers could rest in peace in the Nine Springs below.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. This guy was naturally much weaker than Shangguan Hongyan, but Jiang Chen did not dare to rashly use his fusion of Heavenly Lightning. Four Heavenly Lightnings fused together were as terrifying as could be, and killing this Niu Tianlang would naturally be no problem. But Jiang Chen was afraid that this Niu Tianlang had another trick up his sleeve, or that someone else was watching like a hungry tiger. In that case, he might well be completely defeated, even face a life-and-death crisis. So until the very last moment, Jiang Chen would absolutely not use his fusion of Heavenly Lightning. He would strive to kill with a single blow.

At this moment, Jiang Chen retreated in order to advance, falling back step by step. After the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique, Jiang Chen’s strength was already declining more and more. After all, the most powerful wave had already forced Niu Tianlang back, but from here on, this Niu Tianlang would certainly not give up so easily.

“Forcing up your strength. Let’s see how long you can hold out.”

The corner of Niu Tianlang’s mouth grew cold. Jiang Chen’s blow just now must have pushed his strength to the limit. Otherwise, he could never have withstood his earth-shaking hammer.

“At least you don’t have the ability to kill me.”

Jiang Chen sneered and kept retreating, with the aim of drawing Niu Tianlang’s attention and luring him out of the range of the formation in front of the Profound Connection Divine Palace’s gate. His one hundred and eight Peak Origin Divine Tools were already in place, with the Heavenly Dragon Sword as the guide. At this moment, if Jiang Chen wanted to fight Niu Tianlang, he could only use the Ashura Sword Formation.

“Then let’s see how long you can last, hmph.”

Each of Niu Tianlang’s hammer blows was stronger than the last, their might covering the sky. Jiang Chen kept dodging, his feet treading the Azure Dragon Five Steps, each step shaking the heavens. He avoided their edge only so that he could finish setting up the Ashura Sword Formation.

This time, the swords in Jiang Chen’s hands were not only the Heavenly Dragon Sword but also the Candle Dragon Sword. With the Heavenly Dragon Sword and the Candle Dragon Sword as the formation eyes, the Ashura Sword Formation would only be even more formidable.

Jiang Chen feigned weakness before the enemy, cold light flashing in his eyes, retreating step by step. In Niu Tianlang’s eyes, Jiang Chen was already a defeated remnant who could not possibly hold out in his hands much longer, so he had to speed up and defeat him swiftly and decisively, lest something unexpected happen.

Jiang Chen’s eyes changed again and again. The Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand grew more and more fearsome, luring Niu Tianlang step by step into the formation he had laid out. Flying swords of Peak Origin Divine Tool grade kept shooting out from Jiang Chen’s hands, turning into streaks of cold light that charged at Niu Tianlang. Niu Tianlang scoffed at them, bringing his giant hammers down time and again, tearing the long sky apart.

The starlight was dazzling, ringing out again and again against Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Sword, sparks flying everywhere.

“I want to see how many swords you still have.”

Niu Tianlang was dismissive and extremely arrogant, not taking Jiang Chen seriously at all.

Countless disciples of the Profound Connection Divine Palace were watching this scene, their hearts deeply shaken and filled with sighs.

“Is this our former senior brother? This formidable? He can actually stand on equal footing with the Palace Lord. The Palace Lord is a Divine Emperor expert. Could he be one too?”

“What do you think? Back then even the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord both died at Jiang Chen’s hands. He’s an out-and-out butcher. Back then who knew how many people trembled at the sound of his name and didn’t dare to contend with him.”

“He should count as the strongest genius disciple in the entire history of our Profound Connection Divine Palace, right? Too bad he went against the Profound Connection Divine Palace and killed people like flies. He’s just like a demon.”

“He’s very strong and his talent is terrifying, but in front of the Palace Lord, he’s still a move short. Look, he’s about to give out. He’s about to be defeated by the Palace Lord.”

Jiang Chen’s name had spread throughout the entire Profound Connection Divine Palace, admired by countless people. Even though the current Jiang Chen might not be able to beat the Palace Lord, in their eyes Jiang Chen was a supreme existence, and also the one closest to them, a former senior student, someone almost within reach.

“I once spoke with Jiang Chen myself back then. Now he’s already a Divine Emperor expert. How time flies.”

Someone sighed, lamenting the passing of time. Jiang Chen had already become a giant in his own right, while he himself was still a disciple in the Profound Connection Divine Palace. The gap between them could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Everyone regarded Jiang Chen as the idol in their hearts. Although he was a traitor to the Profound Connection Divine Palace, he was also the strongest traitor. The strong had enough say, and now he could challenge the Profound Connection Divine Palace. That was his capital.

A Divine Emperor Jiang Chen, even looking across the whole Central Region Divine Land, could be called a great power in his own right. To them, Jiang Chen was an existence high above.

Although Jiang Chen seemed to have been on the losing side the whole time, in fact his Ashura Sword Formation had just been completed at this moment.

Jiang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes as cold as frost. At this moment, he was determined to gravely wound this Niu Tianlang, or even kill him.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

Niu Tianlang said calmly, yet each wave of his attacks was stronger than the last.

“Now you’ll find out. My true strength goes far beyond this.”

Jiang Chen reached out and gripped two swords. The Heavenly Dragon Sword and the Candle Dragon Sword rose and swept across, echoing each other, completely bringing the one hundred and eight Peak Origin Divine Tools under his control.
