Chapter 2976 - Distorting Facts
“Not even a Hierarch expert could completely block it off.” Bai Ying gasped.
Not even a hundred of him could withstand that peerless blood-sword. Jiang Chen was in deep danger.
“Jiang Chen, quickly, surrender!” Gu Maolu s.h.i.+vered, his expression became heavy.
Chen Long was invincible. Jiang Chen lost the initiative and might lose his life.
“Jiang Chen, don’t be reckless!”
Donghuang Tai’a and the others were holding their breaths in. Everyone could see that Chen Long’s final strike had blocked off Jiang Chen’s escape route. It was an attack to take his life.
The people from the Lone Dragon County were nervous for Jiang Chen, except for Yan Qingcheng, who was watching intently.
“Lady Yan, quickly persuade Brother Jiang to give up.”
Gu Maolu looked at Yan Qingcheng as their relations.h.i.+p was known.
Yan Qingcheng shook her head with an unknown confidence and obsession in her eyes.
“He will not bet his life if he’s not confident. I will follow him if he dies.”
“You… sigh.” Gu Maolu was speechless.
To think there’s such a foolish girl in the world, I wonder if I should call her naive or just madly in love.
“Lord Lin, Jiang Chen will die for sure if you don’t make a move now.” Qian Renji said, somewhat anxious.
“He should still have some cards under his sleeve… otherwise, he would’ve surrendered way earlier.” Lin Youkang pondered and said.
“But…” Qian Renji said.
However, a terrifying change happened on the Blood Shadow Sword, it was glowing bright red, giving off a creepy vibe. That sword could oppress all living beings, one that could destroy those that oppose it!
“You won’t be able to surrender now.” Chen Long sneered.
In the end, this battle is mine for the taking!
“It’s still too early for you to celebrate.” Jiang Chen smiled as the Heavenly Dragon Sword danced in the sky!
Jiang Chen closed his eyes as his spirit took control of the blade, the power of the blade was pushed to its limit under the terrifying pressure from all sides. He then opened his eyes as the blade cut through the air like a s.h.i.+ning rainbow.
“Limitless Sword, Ninth Blade!”
Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Sword changed into a giant golden dragon as it flew towards the sky and clashed against the opponent’s blade.
Instantly, 18,000 blades burst towards Chen Long.
“Such a terrifying sword intent, he’s just a Divine King, yet he’s able to exhibit such a powerful sword intent.” Lin Youkang’s expression changed drastically.
Jiang Chen’s sword intent was terrifying, the Ninth Blade was something that Lin Youkang could not attain, to think Jiang Chen was able to display something of this level. The earlier Eighth Blade was already formidable but this was something that even shocked him.
The golden dragon burst as thousand blades pierced towards its enemy, the Blood Shadow Sword was instantly grinded into dust by the 18000 blades.
Chen Long’s expression changed.
Lin Youkang managed to stop the attack at the very last second and saved Chen Long. Although he also felt tremendous pressure as he withstood Jiang Chen’s sword intent. Luckily, he was ready to act when Jiang Chen was in danger thanks to Xiao Qinglong earlier. A battle of life and death was a good show but it’d be a loss for the Profound Connection Divine Palace if a peerless prodigy were to die. Therefore, Lin Youkang chose to break the rules himself as he was the highest authority for this compet.i.tion.
Chen Long coughed out blood with a plae expression as he knelt on the floor. His eyes had lost their initial brightness, he was just one step away from dying.
“It’s a pity, a pity.” Jiang Chen shook his head.
Although he managed to unleash the Ninth Blade, he’s still a step away from attaining the state of the heart and sword into one, the state Fang Bi had once reached before.
“Brother Fang, I’ve succeeded the Ninth Blade, you can rest in peace.” Jiang Chen looked up towards the sky, feeling like there was a white-robed figure smiling at him.
The whole outer-palace silently watched as the result unfold, forgetting to cheer on the winner.
“The number one of the outer-palace is well-deserved.” Qian Renji smiled.
She was worried for Jiang Chen earlier, it looks like it was meaningless though. Jiang Chen had his own plan.
Lin Youkang smiled and nodded silently. Jiang Chen was undoubtedly the winner.
“It’s still too early to announce the winner of this compet.i.tion.”
A loud voice came from the sky.
“Second Palace Lord!” Lin Youkang greeted.
Jiang Chen frowned. The Second Palace Lord, isn’t he the top-dog? Why is he here for the outer-palace compet.i.tion?
“We greet the Palace Lord.”
Countless disciples looked down as they greeted the Second Palace Lord.
“I’ve defeated Chen Long, I dare ask the Second Palace Lord, is there something that has gone wrong?”
Jiang Chen looked straight into the Second Palace Lord’s eyes without fear.
“YOU dare to question me?!” The Second Palace Lord said.
Jiang Chen felt a great pressure. This Second Palace Lord is shameless! To pressure me with his aura! Jiang Chen’s expression became heavy as he looked at the Second Palace Lord without fear, he would not step back against bullies.
“I’m not questioning you, but just stating a fact. The Second Palace Lord is powerful and mighty, there’s no need for you to care about the matters of us disciples. Does the Second Palace Lord plan to distort facts with everyone watching?” Jiang Chen said.
Lin Youkang and Qian Renji were slightly startled by Jiang Chen’s words. This fella is too b.a.l.l.sy, to think he would say that towards the Second Palace Lord.
“Hahaha! You have guts! I like it, however, I’ve made up my mind, what can you do about it? Chen Long is an outer-palace disciple and you’re the same. Now, how sure are you that Chen Long has already lost?” The Second Palace Lord said.
Everyone noticed that the current Chen Long had entered into a zen state.
“He has broken through?” Qian Renji was startled.
“That’s right, Chen Long managed to break through in the battle, he’s a true monstrous prodigy, he’ll be able to continue after he reaches the Hierarch Realm, how could he surrender now?” The Second Palace Lord said.
“He would’ve been dead if this was a battle of life and death.” Jiang Chen said.
“However, this is not a battle of life and death, it’s just a sparring compet.i.tion between the outer-palace disciples.” The Second Palace Lord smiled.
“Therefore, you’ll have to wait until he breaks through and continue your battle.” The Second Palace Lord said.
The audience was in an uproar, even Qian Renji and Lin Youkang’s expressions became somewhat unnatural. This kind of partial treatment was too blatant.
