Dragon-Marked War God

All these years of peace had let them live and work in contentment and cultivate with dedication. But now that the Drifting Formation had suddenly been broken, the tranquility they wanted was destined to vanish at this moment.

“I don’t want to fight you. I broke the formation only to leave this place.”

Jiang Chen did not want to waste any more time with this guy and turned to leave. But Wu Chongjiu had no intention of letting Jiang Chen go just like that. No matter who he was, since he had broken through the formation, he was bound to have something to do with the Long Family. If the Long Family had not sent him, that would be the real surprise.

At this moment, just as Jiang Chen wanted to leave, powerful auras surged up one after another into the void of the nine heavens. There were a full eleven Divine Emperor experts. Although they were all only at the Minor Heaven-Reaching stage of the Early Divine Emperor Realm, they had the advantage of numbers. And there were over a hundred Hierarch experts. At this moment, they had Jiang Chen, Yan Qingcheng and Wu Ningzhu firmly sealed in.

Jiang Chen could not help sighing inwardly. He had not expected that breaking this formation would stir up so much trouble. These should be all the experts of the entire Wu Divine Clan, gathered here together.

“I advise you to surrender. Otherwise, you will surely die without a burial place.”

Wu Chongjiu held a long spear, pointed it at Jiang Chen and shouted loudly.

Jiang Chen felt helpless. He was not afraid of these people, but they were all innocent. He could not just make a move and wipe them all out, could he? Although this battle might be a bit tricky for him, it was not that he was afraid. First, he did not want to waste more time. Second, killing them would mean nothing to him. Jiang Chen did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

“I said it already. I really don’t know what’s going on with this Long Family you’re talking about. I broke the formation because I want to go to the Eastern Victorious Divine Land, and this is the shortest route. Your Drifting Formation blocked my way, so I had no choice but to resort to this.”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

“Hahaha, what a nice excuse. But do you take me for a fool? You must be stalling for time, waiting for the people of the Long Family to arrive. Today, even with wings you won’t be able to fly away. I absolutely will not let you leave safely. Otherwise, how could I face my people? How could I face those who are about to die innocently and miserably? I, Wu Chongjiu, have a clear conscience. I have worked diligently all my life just to keep this land safe, yet you Long Family still want to force me, pressing harder and harder. Just how far must I retreat before you’re satisfied? Today I, Wu Chongjiu, swear to heaven that I will not spare a single tyrant of your Long Family!”

Wu Chongjiu said coldly, looking upon death as going home, determined to kill Jiang Chen and the others.

“Ninth Lord, why waste words with him? Things have come to this. Let’s kill them first. When those Long Family scum come later, we’ll kill them all the same.”

“That’s right, Ninth Lord. I can’t wait any longer to deal with this kind of trash. We must kill them to feel at ease.”

“Long Family remnants. There’s no reason at all to spare their lives.”

Several Divine Emperor experts beside Wu Chongjiu were already itching to fight, and Jiang Chen felt utterly helpless. Did these guys have no brains at all? But on second thought, Jiang Chen realized that it was understandable. He sighed inwardly. He had broken someone’s clan protection formation and upset their balance at a time like this. It was understandable for them to treat him as an enemy.

“Nothing has happened, has it? What more do you want? It’s just a formation. Do you have to make us atone with our deaths before you’re happy? We are absolutely not the Long Family remnants or accomplices you speak of. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. An upright man doesn’t fear a crooked shadow. If it really comes to a fight, you might not be a match for us.”

Wu Ningzhu said coldly. In an instant, she stirred up everyone’s emotions. These people were so arrogant! They had clearly broken their formation, and now they were trying to turn the tables on them? This was intolerable!

“Enough talk. Attack. We must kill these wretches, then deal with the Long Family.”

Wu Chongjiu waved his big hand, his face dark. More than ten Divine Emperor figures all surged forward. As the mainstays of the entire Wu Divine Clan, it was time for them to repay their clan.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head silently. At this moment, he was being forced to make a move.

“Don’t kill them. After all, we’re in the wrong. I, Jiang Chen, never kill innocent people indiscriminately.”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice as he struck forcefully. In the eyes of these people, strength at the Early Divine Emperor Realm was nothing special and could not play a decisive role at all. As for Wu Chongjiu, who was at the Mid Divine Emperor Realm, he did not even bother to make a move. In this battle, he only needed to watch coldly from the side. The real main event was surely still to come. After these three, the Long Family could not possibly hold back from coming out in full force. They had probably been waiting for this moment for far too long.

“These people are just courting death, yet you still spare their lives. You’re just pretending to be merciful. Hmph.”

Yan Qingcheng laughed coldly, but she still listened to Jiang Chen and did not deal killing blows to these people.

More than ten Divine Emperor experts rushed forward at great speed. At this moment, Jiang Chen fought alone. He blocked six of them by himself.

One against six. Even Wu Chongjiu was completely shocked. This guy was actually this strong? An Early Divine Emperor taking on six Early Divine Emperors was simply hard for him to believe.

“This guy does have some skill. No wonder he could break through my great formation.”

Wu Chongjiu murmured, a cold look at the corner of his mouth, his face dark. But escaping from his hands would not be that easy. His Wu Divine Clan was not one to be bullied by anyone.

“Brat, hand over your life!”

Along with the shouts of the Wu Divine Clan’s experts, Jiang Chen remained calm and composed, handling it with ease. With his bare hands alone, he forced all six of them back. That overwhelming momentum made people not dare to contend with him.

Jiang Chen struck like thunder, but he stopped at the right point. Every punch landed on flesh, but none took a life. Within ten exchanges, he had driven all of them back. Every one of them was pale-faced, having taken a palm strike from Jiang Chen. Their injuries were quite serious, and their fighting strength instantly dropped a lot. This was already Jiang Chen showing mercy. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would have already killed them.

On the other side, Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng were also handling things with ease. Wu Ningzhu had already broken through to the Divine Emperor Realm while at the Profound Wind Sect. Although her strength might not be as great as Yan Qingcheng’s now, she was no one to be bullied either. Fighting one against two, she coped with ease.

For a time, the one whose expression truly changed turned out to be Wu Chongjiu. His eleven people were actually no match for three Early Divine Emperors. If word got out, it would be humiliating.

“Brat, your playtime is over.”
