Chapter 3401 – We’ll Wait for You
This time he had made a strong move and lured Jiang Chen onto the hook, which already showed his resourceful side. Now that every scheme was in place, even if Jiang Chen had three heads and six arms, he would never escape from his palm.
“So you’re saying you want to kill the hen to get the eggs. First kill me, then take the Myriad Qi Cauldron.”
Jiang Chen gripped the Heavenly Dragon Sword, but now, facing three Early Divine Emperor experts once again, he was already in an extremely difficult position.
“You could put it that way. In my eyes you aren’t worth a single copper. Whether I kill you or not doesn’t matter, but to avoid future trouble, once the Myriad Qi Cauldron is in my hands, you ought to die. You’ll vanish from the Central Region Divine Land as if you had never appeared.”
Fen Gudong smiled faintly, as if everything were under his control.
“I’m only afraid you’ll end up losing on both counts. Why don’t we make a deal? I, Jiang Chen, am not someone who fears death, but I don’t want my woman to suffer. Our matter has its own way of being settled. I won’t back down, but the woman is innocent. What do you think?”
At this moment, Jiang Chen’s hand moved, and two miserable wisps of soul power appeared in it. They were unmistakably the souls of the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord of the Profound Connection Divine Palace.
“Second Brother! Third Brother!”
Niu Tianlang’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets. His face went pale and he shouted in a deep voice.
“Brother Fen, you have to save them.”
Niu Tianlang was extremely agitated. He had never imagined that his second and third brothers were not yet dead.
“Big Brother, save me, save us.”
The Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord cried out tearfully. Their soul power had already grown weaker and weaker, but fortunately their souls had not scattered. For Niu Tianlang, that was hope.
Fen Gudong’s expression changed and his face darkened. This guy was holding the two souls to threaten him. He himself could have ignored it completely, but Niu Tianlang could not. Those were his brothers in life and death. How could he abandon them?
To Fen Gudong, Niu Tianlang was also a big bargaining chip. At the very least, once he obtained the Myriad Qi Cauldron and raised his banner in revolt, Niu Tianlang would be a great help to him. If he broke with Niu Tianlang completely at this moment, he would no longer be able to draw on the strength of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. So Fen Gudong had to take this into account.
“Brother Fen—”
Niu Tianlang kept calling, extremely anxious.
Fen Gudong nodded and said,
“I can agree to let your woman go, but you won’t be so lucky.”
“Good. A word once spoken cannot be taken back. I’m not afraid to die, but you absolutely must not harm my woman. Let her go, and I, Jiang Chen, will never resist.”
Jiang Chen nodded heavily.
“Fine, I believe you. You no longer have the strength to fight anyway.”
Fen Gudong waved a hand at one of the Divine Emperor experts and gave him a look. The Divine Emperor expert turned and left, and before long he brought Wu Ningzhu over. Clearly Yan Qingcheng had failed, but she had already appeared at Jiang Chen’s side.
“I couldn’t find Sister Ning anywhere.”
Yan Qingcheng said quietly, feeling somewhat guilty. But at this moment, Wu Ningzhu’s appearance made both Jiang Chen and Yan Qingcheng extremely emotional.
“Sister Ning!”
Jiang Chen called softly. Wu Ningzhu’s whole body trembled at that moment and she woke up. Unparalleled emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes, and tears could not help pouring out. Jiang Chen’s eyes nearly split with rage. At this moment, he had no other thought. He only wanted to wipe out all of these people, catch them all in one net!
“Little Chen…”
That one call almost made Jiang Chen’s heart melt. Wu Ningzhu bit her red lip and looked at Jiang Chen silently. After they had parted that day, she had never seen Jiang Chen again. Now they were reunited, and they had thousands upon thousands of words they could never finish saying.
“Sister Ning, you and Qingcheng go first. Leave the rest to me.”
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice. At this time, he absolutely could not let his two women face danger again.
Wu Ningzhu rushed toward Jiang Chen almost instantly. Yan Qingcheng watched this scene, excitement flickering in her eyes, but she seemed to understand: the most important person in Sister Ning’s eyes was Jiang Chen.
“Qingcheng, it’s been a long time.”
Wu Ningzhu looked at Yan Qingcheng. Yan Qingcheng’s eyes were also burning, and she nodded heavily.
“I won’t go. If I go, what will you do!”
Wu Ningzhu insisted.
“Don’t worry. I have my own way of getting out. Right now I just want Qingcheng to take you away first. Otherwise, with the two of you here, my hands and feet will be tied. Sister Ning, trust me.”
Jiang Chen looked at Wu Ningzhu with complete certainty and spoke to her by sound transmission.
Wu Ningzhu looked into Jiang Chen’s eyes for a full ten seconds before she finally nodded. Jiang Chen had indeed never deceived her, which was why she chose to trust him. Even though she knew perfectly well that this battle would be a narrow brush with death for Jiang Chen, she had to trust her man.
“Your two Palace Lords, I’ll give them back to you.”
Jiang Chen kept his word and released the two wisps of soul power, sending Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng away at the same time.
“Little Chen, you must be careful.”
Wu Ningzhu urged.
“We’ll wait for you.”
Yan Qingcheng looked at Jiang Chen with complicated eyes. In the end, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and quickly sent the two of them away. Only now was it time for him to make his last stand.
Niu Tianlang took in the two lingering wisps of soul power of the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord, but at this moment he hated Jiang Chen even more. He wished he could tear him into eight pieces. Even grinding his bones to ash would not be enough to vent his hatred.
“Now, what else do you have to say?”
Fen Gudong glanced at Niu Tianlang. Only by keeping this guy steady could his future grand plan be more secure.
“The Myriad Qi Cauldron is right here in my hands. If you have the ability, come and take it.”
Jiang Chen stood his ground, his gaze sharp. He had no intention of leaving. He would fight this Fen Gudong to the end. He would make blood flow like a river in the Profound Connection Divine Palace!
“You don’t know what’s good for you. What bargaining chips do you have left in your hands now? It’s time to pay your debts.”
Fen Gudong shouted coldly and waved his hand. The three experts at the Great Perfection of the Early Divine Emperor Realm swiftly closed in on Jiang Chen. The situation was dire and unstoppable. Jiang Chen’s face changed. Using defense in place of attack, he swept the Heavenly Dragon Sword out. The Limitless Sword startled the wandering swan, its qi shaking a thousand mountains!
Although Jiang Chen remained suppressed, the three Divine Emperor experts did not dare take risks lightly in the face of his terrifying sword shadows. Jiang Chen had less than thirty or forty percent of his strength left. Facing three experts at the Great Perfection of the Early Divine Emperor Realm, he did not dare to be careless either.
“You’re courting death. If not for Niu Tianlang, I would have made the two of you, husband and wife, die without a burial place.”
Fen Gudong thought to himself.
