Chapter 3427 – The Relentless Wu Chongjiu
Wu Chongjiu’s gaze was sharp as he stared at Jiang Chen. In this battle, if he did not bring this man to justice, he would surely fall into a disadvantage, and the whole Wu Divine Clan would lose faith in their rulers. So Wu Chongjiu had to bring out his true methods and kill the one who had destroyed his formation. Only then could he lift people’s spirits and give his followers behind him, the subjects of the Wu Divine Clan, confidence.
Even though the Wu Divine Clan’s situation was extremely difficult now, as the saying went, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. Wu Chongjiu knew very well, and the Long Family surely understood this principle too, that they could not possibly take the Wu Divine Clan in one stroke. Even with the Drifting Formation broken, the Wu Divine Clan still had the strength to fight. Even if the Long Family wanted to destroy the Wu Divine Clan and seize more territory in the Earth Divine Land, it was destined to be a protracted war.
The Wu Divine Clan’s situation was precarious, and Wu Chongjiu had to step forward and hold up the sky for his people.
“Ninth Lord, finish him off and avenge us!”
“Our city’s defensive barrier was destroyed by him. These guys must be the Long Family’s lackeys. Teach him a hard lesson!”
“The Long Family harbors evil intentions. We absolutely cannot let them succeed!”
“The Ninth Lord’s might is unmatched in the world! Our Wu Divine Clan has been passed down for tens of millions of years. It’s absolutely not something the Long Family can lay a finger on!”
Across the entire Wu Divine Clan, a battle line ten thousand miles long stretched across the sky. Countless subjects of the Wu Divine Clan had already surged up to the top of the sky, because more and more experts were soaring into the clouds to boost the Wu Divine Clan’s morale. There were thousands upon thousands of experts. Heavenly God Realm, Divine King Realm, Hierarch Realm, numbering in the tens of thousands.
These were the subjects of the Wu Divine Clan across the Earth Divine Land. Although the Wu Divine Clan was not the ruler of the Earth Divine Land, it was one of the four great powers there and held an absolute geographical advantage. Its lands were rich in resources, with hundreds of thousands of miles of great mountains swarming with demon beasts and spiritual herbs everywhere. That was why the Long Family had always eyed it covetously.
Wu Chongjiu’s gaze was ice-cold as he looked down on Jiang Chen. He threw a heavy punch. The moment the punch went out, the wind howled and roared, and the space between heaven and earth seemed to twist at this moment. Fist shadows covered the sky. Jiang Chen stood his ground and threw a punch in return. The two collided almost instantly. Although they were hundreds of meters apart, the terrifying shockwave swept across ten thousand miles of sky. Countless people around them shrank back, many were knocked away, and their faces turned pale.
Jiang Chen was calm and composed, not the least bit weak. Their fists clashed again and again, and he was under no pressure at all. Facing the Ninth Lord of the Wu Divine Clan, Wu Chongjiu, alone, Jiang Chen did not show the slightest weakness.
The might of a single punch made everyone regard him as a god. How could this guy be so strong? The Ninth Lord was the top expert of the entire Wu Divine Clan. If someone the Long Family had invited could contend with the Ninth Lord, then perhaps no one could really say who would win this battle.
To shoot a man, first shoot his horse. To catch the bandits, first catch their king. If Wu Chongjiu lost, the Wu Divine Clan would surely collapse like a landslide. Even Wu Chongjiu had not expected Jiang Chen’s strength to reach such a terrifying level. He was indeed an expert worthy of breaking his Drifting Formation.
But as the strongest expert of the Wu Divine Clan, Wu Chongjiu was full of confidence. In this battle, he could only win, not lose! He did not represent himself, but countless subjects of the Wu Divine Clan.
“You’re strong, but I still have to kill you. As the Long Family’s vanguard, your strength is impressive. Why sell your life for the Long Family?”
Wu Chongjiu clenched his fists tightly, his gaze extremely cold.
Jiang Chen sighed, a mix of emotions in his heart.
“I’ve already said I’m not with the Long Family. What do I have to do for you to believe me? I’m just passing through. What do the grudges between your Wu Divine Clan and the Long Family have to do with me? Breaking the formation was rude of me, and I don’t want to kill innocent people either. Otherwise, do you think I really couldn’t kill those few Divine Emperors?”
“On the verge of death and still so arrogant! Ninth Lord, this wretch must be killed. If we delay, things may change! The Long Family is mostly full of cunning people. This guy is no good either. Hmph.”
A Divine Emperor expert snorted coldly. Seeing Jiang Chen’s “arrogance,” his teeth itched with anger.
“Enough talk. The formation is already broken. What more excuses do you have? If the Long Family wants to destroy my Wu Divine Clan, I, Wu Chongjiu, will see it through to the end even if I die.”
Wu Chongjiu roared and clashed with Jiang Chen. The two figures were like long rainbows, interweaving chaotically, fists landing on flesh. Jiang Chen’s momentum was vast, and he did not dare to be careless. Wu Chongjiu’s strength was absolutely not low. He was at the Great Perfection of the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. For Jiang Chen to defeat him would surely be quite a difficult matter. Besides, Jiang Chen had no intention to kill in the first place. At this moment, he could only sigh silently.
Although Jiang Chen and Wu Chongjiu were evenly matched in fighting strength and he was in no danger for the moment, Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng were retreating step by step, and Jiang Chen’s face gradually darkened.
But everyone had a temper. Jiang Chen had yielded again and again, but at this moment, things did not look good for Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng. The two of them were fighting five, and they were already stretched thin.
“I wanted to settle this peacefully, but you keep pressing me. It seems that if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll really think I, Jiang Chen, am a pushover.”
Jiang Chen gave a cold laugh, his expression growing darker. He could suffer himself, but he would never let Yan Qingcheng and Wu Ningzhu suffer such an injustice.
With one blow, Jiang Chen forced Wu Chongjiu back. The Heavenly Dragon Sword came out in his hand, its edge radiating in all directions, and he went straight at the eleven Divine Emperor experts.
“Dare to touch my women? Get lost, all of you!”
Jiang Chen slaughtered in all directions, his swordsmanship astonishing. The eleven Divine Emperor experts could not withstand a single exchange with him. With the Heavenly Dragon Sword, no one could face its edge. In a moment, four of them were gravely injured by Jiang Chen. The Heavenly Dragon Sword drank blood, which splashed across the sky.
Wu Chongjiu’s face grew even darker.
“How dare you, brat! Don’t you hurt my clansmen!”
Wu Chongjiu held a long lance, its shadows soaring to the sky with lightning flashing all around, and charged over to kill. Every strike was startling. With a great shout, Wu Chongjiu stopped Jiang Chen, and they fought at close quarters. Sword blades erupted one after another. Jiang Chen was irresistible, attacking forcefully. Anyone who dared touch his women was destined to come to no good end. That Jiang Chen’s four strikes had not killed all four of those guys was already him showing mercy.
“You stubborn fool. Sooner or later the Wu Divine Clan will be destroyed in your hands. You forced me to this. Get out of my way!”
Jiang Chen was like a heavenly god descending to the mortal world. The Heavenly Dragon Sword let out dragon roars one after another, sweeping across the nine heavens. Treading on the clouds, he unleashed the Eighteenth Sword, stealing the heavens and replacing the sun, a rain of swords that was astonishing. Wu Chongjiu held his long lance. Though startled, he did not panic, but he still faced it as if facing a great enemy.
The might Jiang Chen displayed completely shocked him. Even countless subjects of the Wu Divine Clan were dumbfounded. This was simply a supreme existence like an unrivalled God Emperor. Even the Ninth Lord was having such a hard time.
