Dragon-Marked War God

Jiang Chen’s appearance was far too important to them. Jiang Chen was the Craftsman God’s successor. That piece of news alone was probably enough to stir up an unparalleled storm across the Central Region Divine Land.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Even though he had hidden it very deeply, he had still been found out. The Craftsman God’s inheritance, those words alone were enough to raise huge waves in the Central Region Divine Land. No matter where this guy had gotten the news from, the secret could no longer be kept under wraps.

“The Craftsman God’s inheritance? This guy is actually the Craftsman God’s successor?”

At this moment, even Niu Tianlang’s face was full of shock. Clearly, Fen Gudong had not told even him. Only now did he learn that Jiang Chen was the Craftsman God’s successor.

Fen Gudong said nothing and kept looking at Jiang Chen.

“The Craftsman God was a figure who once shook the entire Central Region Divine Land. He was called the number one below the Great Emperor Realm. That heroic bearing moved heaven and earth, and even Great Emperor Realm experts flocked to him. After the Great Emperors, no expert could ever again be found who could compare with the Craftsman God. His elegance made him the man of the hour of the post-ancient era; calling him peerless throughout the ages would be no exaggeration. It seems his eye was not bad. The disciple he picked is actually this outstanding. It’s just a pity that I’m afraid you’re going to die young. Give you another hundred years, and who knows how far you would grow. The Craftsman God truly was a dragon among men.”

The more Fen Gudong looked at Jiang Chen, the happier he became, because Jiang Chen’s existence meant the existence of the Myriad Qi Cauldron. His scheme was finally about to succeed.

“It seems you’ve been plotting this for a long time. Even my wife was part of your calculations. You must have been waiting for this day for a long time too. Now, surely I should be allowed to know who you are?”

Jiang Chen said, staring at Fen Gudong with blazing eyes.

“It doesn’t matter if I tell you. I am Fen Gudong, the chief alchemy elder of the Ghost Pill Sect. Back then, my Ghost Pill Sect offered ten thousand gold, asking only for the Myriad Qi Cauldron, but that old thing the Craftsman God blasted us beyond the Nine Heavens and even drove us out of the Central Region Divine Land. Only after he died was my Ghost Pill Sect able to reappear in the Central Region. The Myriad Qi Cauldron is a true pill-refining treasure cauldron, yet that stubborn old Craftsman God used it to forge weapons. What a reckless waste of heaven’s gifts! But in the end he got his retribution and went down to the eighteenth level of hell, hahaha. Today, as the Craftsman God’s successor, offer up the Myriad Qi Cauldron. Perhaps I’ll leave you an intact corpse and bury you together with your wife. That would be more than generous.”

Fen Gudong looked at Jiang Chen with a chuckle, as if he had already arranged Jiang Chen’s funeral.

“Plenty of people want to kill me. Who do you think you are? Do you think you can really kill me?”

Jiang Chen sneered, his gaze sharp as he stared Fen Gudong down. At that moment, Fen Gudong did not act rashly either, because he had seen with his own eyes the power of Jiang Chen’s Ashura Sword Formation just now. Even if it were he who was trapped in that sword formation, he would probably lose a layer of skin if not his life. This guy’s terror really made people wary.

But now he was already utterly spent, without any strength left to fight him. Why should he still be wary of him?

“You may be very confident, but blind confidence is just not knowing what’s good for you. Heh, today you are certain to die. Where would you get the ability to defy heaven and change your fate? Do you think my Ghost Pill Sect is so easy to provoke?”

Fen Gudong said coldly. The youth’s eyes were cold, his killing intent fully revealed.

“The Ghost Pill Sect, hehehe, what a Ghost Pill Sect. Then do you recognize what this is?”

Jiang Chen reached out, and a sword token appeared in his hand. It was the sword token that Jian Tang, the sect master of the Drawing Sword Sect, had given him when he left the Drawing Sword Sect. Seeing the sword token was like seeing the Sword Lord in person.

“The Drawing Sword Sect’s sword token?”

Fen Gudong’s expression changed and he narrowed his eyes. He had dared to be so unscrupulous and so sure of himself only because Jiang Chen had no backing at all. Now Jiang Chen had produced the Drawing Sword Sect’s sword token, and Fen Gudong could not help being shaken.

“You’re the Drawing Sword Sect’s honorary Sword Lord that everyone was talking about a while ago?”

“So what if I am? It seems your Ghost Pill Sect wants to stand against the Drawing Sword Sect to the very end. We are both great sects of the Central Region Divine Land. If your Ghost Pill Sect dares to touch me, it is the same as declaring war on the Drawing Sword Sect. Do you really dare to do that?”

Jiang Chen said, looking down on Fen Gudong.

Fen Gudong’s face darkened, his eyes flickering.

“Kid, don’t try to bluff me. Hehehe, no matter who you are, I’m going to kill you today. So what if you’re a Sword Lord of the Drawing Sword Sect? How would I know? Once I kill you, there’ll be no witnesses. Who would know that I killed you? Even if the Drawing Sword Sect wants to pursue it, I’m afraid they won’t be able to trace it to my Ghost Pill Sect, right?”

Fen Gudong said flatly. At this point the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. If he took a single step back, it would be the same as letting the tiger back into the mountains. Even if he had to grit his teeth and force himself, he had to fight Jiang Chen to the bitter end. Besides, this guy was already at the end of his strength. Why should he be afraid of him?

It was only the sword token of a Drawing Sword Sect Sword Lord. It wasn’t as if the sect master of the Drawing Sword Sect had come in person. Moreover, his Ghost Pill Sect wasn’t necessarily afraid of the Drawing Sword Sect. It wasn’t the Futu Pagoda, so what was there to fear? As long as he wiped out Jiang Chen without leaving the slightest trace, who would ever know that he had killed him?

Killing people for their goods was something Fen Gudong had done more than once.

“It seems you’re set on fighting the Drawing Sword Sect to the end. That isn’t a good choice.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Is that so? But I, Fen Gudong, happen to like doing it this way. If we were evenly matched, maybe I would be a little wary of you, but now you aren’t qualified to negotiate with me at all. Once I kill you, everything will be over. The Myriad Qi Cauldron will be mine, and you will become nothing more than a wisp of flying ash. No one will ever know that you were once a Sword Lord of the Drawing Sword Sect.”

Fen Gudong said, full of confidence. Jiang Chen was seriously wounded and had no strength left to turn things around. How could he let the tiger return to the mountains at a time like this?

The Myriad Qi Cauldron that Fen Gudong had been longing for was already within his grasp. Once he completed his transformation and obtained the Myriad Qi Cauldron, no one, even in the Ghost Pill Sect, would be his match. When he dominated the Ghost Pill Sect and led it out to war, the first one he would punish would surely be the Drawing Sword Sect!

“In that case, there’s no point saying more. If you want to fight, then fight. I, Jiang Chen, will keep you company to the end! Without the Drawing Sword Sect, I, Jiang Chen, can still stand proudly between heaven and earth. Who can do anything to me?”

Jiang Chen’s long hair hung loose and stirred without any wind, his cold radiance vying with the sun and moon. He had only been stalling for time to recover his strength. Bringing out the sword token was merely a delaying tactic. By now, Jiang Chen had recovered a good deal of his strength, and he had only one goal: to kill Fen Gudong. Otherwise, how could he rescue his wife?
