Mysterious Spine Bone
When the group started walking towards the deeper parts of the Divine Dragon Palace, the skull of the human skeleton that was placed on the dragon chair suddenly fell down and rolled out to more than ten metres. Everyone looked at the white skull and felt terrified deep in their heart.
“All of the monster skeletons were destroyed. But why does this human skeleton still remain here?”
Jiang Chen frowned. Undeniably, it was something strange and this set of human skeletons must be something unusual.
“What human skeletons, I am going to see what kind of demon you are.”
Bai Qi held his fist tightly and struck the skull. The skull unexpectedly still remained in perfectly good condition and everyone was shocked.
Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea. He looked at the spine behind the human skeleton which carried an unknown sense of attraction. He s.h.i.+vered for a second then he casted out his spiritual strength, trying to reveal the original form of the spine. However, it was not successful. Instead, a dreadful spiritual strength spurted out like spring and pushed him to take a step backward. He looked pale now.
“What happened to you?”
Zi Xi asked in a deep voice as he saw Jiang Chen’s face. He started being cautious.
Jiang Chen shook his head and started at the spine bone because it was the source of the strength. After he triggered it, everyone noticed the terrifying strength coming out from it now.
“That spine is extraordinary.”
“Grab it at the cost of your life!”
“Haha, it’s in the human skeleton where the real essence hides. It’s the spine bone…”
Everyone was like waking up from a dream and got ready to grab the spine bone. However, Jiang Chen had already taken action and stepped out with his Great Void Technique. Bai Qi was a step slower as the spine bone was already grabbed tightly by Jiang Chen’s hand. Jiang Chen was even startled by the enormous power released from the spine bone. It was really extraordinary.
Donghuang Zhuoqing, Shen Yingqi, Long Shaotan, Li Jingdong and Feng Xingli unfortunately came back without anything.
“You are not supposed to have that. Hand it out and I will spare your life.”
Li Jingdong said and stared at the spine bone on Jiang Chen’s hand.
“Kid, greed will bring you misfortune, don’t you know about this? If you want to possess the spine bone, you have to ensure you have the capability first.”
Feng Xingli smiled coldly.
“You are not qualified to have it. If you hand it out now, you will save yourself. Otherwise, you know that your end would be dying without a proper burial place. You are quite strong, but you’re still too weak compared with these elders. You have helped us enter the Thunder Rush Sea and we are grateful for your help. However, you are not qualified to have that thing.”
Shen Yingqi said as if he was giving kind advice.
“Don’t worry. It’s not impossible for you to get this. Kill me and you would get it.”
Jiang Chen was dismissive.
“You’re courting death.”
Shen Yingqi continued.
“Who can blame what would happen as you are too stubborn. Your time to die is now!”
Feng Xingli stepped on the void and his dreadful battle strength of Divine King Realm pressed against Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen could feel that he was being targeted by a dreadful Divine King expert now.
“If you want to touch my disciple, don’t you need to ask me first?”
Donghuang Zhuoqing said calmly and made a palm strike that was as powerful as Feng Xingli’s.
“Donghuang Zhuoqing, do you really want to be Killing Luo Sect’s enemy?”
Feng Xingli looked at Donghuang Zhuoqing in an arrogant way.
“It’s the elder’s duty to protect the disciple’s safety.”
Donghuang Zhuoqing’s words somehow moved Jiang Chen. Not to mention Donghuang Zhuoqing’s character and his capability, his insistence of protecting his disciples had warmed Jiang Chen’s heart.
“Let’s see how many more strikes you could make!”
Li Jingdong kicked in all directions with his legs and shook the entire place. His attacks made Jiang Chen withdraw himself.
Long Shaotan casted a palm strike that draw Li Jingdong back. However, he was also affected by the collision and took a few steps backwards, standing together with Donghuang Zhuoqing.
Li Jingdong gritted his teeth and said, “Even the Nine Dragon Palace stands together with Eastern Emperor Sect now.”
“I’m not representing the entire Nine Dragon Palace, only myself. Jiang Chen has once saved my life. How can I do nothing when he is in danger? Haha.”
Long Shaotan was not afraid of anything. What he said had also made those who were saved by Jiang Chen before ashamed.
“Jingnan!”
“Xingzhen!”
Li Jingdong and Feng Xingli turned around to have a look at the same time. Another two elders of Heavenly Profound Sect and Killing Luo Sect did not hesitate to take action too.
“Li Jingnan is here!”
“Feng Xingzhen is here!”
The two of them were also the pillars of the two great sects. They then took action together to kill Jiang Chen in order to get the spine bone.
Zi Xi came to deal with the two elders together with his thunderous skill of attack. Unexpectedly, he managed to repulse the two Divine King experts. It was really astonis.h.i.+ng.
“Zi Xi is here, who dares to make a mess? Heavenly Profound Sect and Killing Luo Sect, if you dare to touch Jiang Chen again, you disrespect me as the city lord. I will pay a visit to your sect and settle the debt in the future.”
Everyone was dumbstruck by Zi Xi’s imposing manner. At the moment, Li Jingdong and Feng Xingli fell into silence. Zi Xi’s interference had made them quite embarra.s.sed. With the t.i.tle of the city lord, he challenged the two sects. The current situation made them consider how the power of influence in Qilian Boundary would be after they came out from the Thunder Rush Sea. The mightiness of the Reverend of Nine Boundary was not a joke. He was the idol whom the people of the entire Qilian Boundary wors.h.i.+pped. Who would dare to go against the Reverend of Nine Boundary?
Jiang Chen smiled. Heavenly Profound Sect and Killing Luo Sect, so what? Being the first and second great sects, so what?
When he was going to keep the spine bone, he was repulsed by a dreadful attack. Luckily, he was prepared and did not get injured. He just looked slightly embarra.s.sed.
Jiang Chen wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth while his eyes were filled with killing intent. If he acted slightly slower just now, he would have been killed.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the blue-clothed young man who just came in all of a sudden. His white pupils gave off some kind of monstrous glance and stared at Jiang Chen.
“Give it to me.”
“What if I don’t?”
Jiang Chen did not care about the blue-clothed young man at all. However, his arrival had caused a stir.
“Then you will die.”
The blue-clothed young man said faintly. He suddenly moved towards Jiang Chen in a second and it was even faster than Jiang Chen’s Great Void Technique. His palm strike was like lightning cras.h.i.+ng against Jiang Chen’s palm. Jiang Chen was repulsed backwards and he seemed to be struggling.
“What a terrifying guy! I am afraid I can’t even reach his speed.”
