Chapter 1731 (Raw 1742): Charging Out of an Encirclement
Xiao Chen"s expression changed slightly. Matters somewhat exceeded his expectations.
If it were just Feng Chen, Chen Yun, and Yan Yuan, there would be no need to fear at all. Xiao Chen and Jiang He could easily defeat them.
However, now that so many people had come—all Primal Core Venerates, and even several Major Primal Core experts—the situation was somewhat difficult to handle.
However, it was just somewhat difficult to handle. Since Xiao Chen had a Dao Tool, it would be impossible for them to stop him.
However, managing Ling Yu would be somewhat problematic.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Ling Yu, go back and look for Miss Ling Long. Get her to make arrangements for you to leave."
Ling Yu understood the gravity of the situation. He also had confidence in his martial uncle"s strength, so he did not worry about Xiao Chen"s life. "Martial Uncle, take care."
After saying that, he returned to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.
As for Xiao Chen and Jiang He, they did not think of lying low. These people had come for the two of them. Ling Yu"s departure would not attract their attention. However, it would not be that easy for Jiang He and Xiao Chen to leave.
Feng Chen looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. You may leave."
Believing that Xiao Chen had the Purple Flame Sect as backing, Feng Chen preferred to avoid offending Xiao Chen if he could.
Feng Chen"s main targets were Jiang He and his Life Juice Source. Jiang He had offended the Cl.u.s.ter Lord and did not have any sect supporting him.
Furthermore, this Jiang He seemed to like showing off. Hence, Feng Chen already made up his mind in the Soaring Dragon Pavilion to teach him a lesson.
Xiao Chen ignored the other party. Leaving Jiang He behind in such a situation while he alone left did not conform to his character.
Furthermore, the Life Juice Source that brought this calamity to Jiang He came from Xiao Chen as well.
Jiang He patted Xiao Chen"s shoulder and smiled. "You are indeed a good brother. It was worth my spending a lot, bringing you to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. Just go. I will block these three useless weaklings!"
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Right after Jiang He spoke, he took a step forward and charged at Feng Chen.
"You are seeking death!"
Feng Chen instantly drew his sword, and a strong sword intent slowly spread out, forming a boundless sword light.
The sword light pressed down. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The pavement exploded, scattering rubble in every direction.
Jiang He smiled faintly as a saber light appeared after he drew his saber. Then, he swung his saber. "Boom!" All the scattered rubble crumbled into powder.
"Dang!"
The saber and sword clashed, producing a loud sound. Jiang He"s saber knocked Feng Chen into the air. When Feng Chen landed, he revealed an expression of shock.
Jiang He smiled faintly and said, "I did say that you were a useless weakling. You still don"t believe it?"
Rage distorted Feng Chen"s face. He performed a backhand swing with his sword and charged over again.
At the same time, Yan Yuan and Chen Yun could no longer just watch, so they joined the fight, the three of them surrounding Jiang He.
The situation immediately turned somewhat bad.
Although these three were arrogant and despotic, they were still strong. They were all people on the same level as Shangguan Lei. Feng Chen was even more incredible.
Xiao Chen held his Tyrant Saber in his embrace, in no rush to attack. He wanted to see Jiang He"s true strength.
With the three-on-one, Jiang He"s situation turned unsightly. However, he still had s.p.a.ce to maneuver and was not truly in danger.
Jiang He"s footwork was wondrous; as he moved, Xiao Chen got a niggling feeling of familiarity.
After watching for a while, Xiao Chen suddenly startled in realization. The Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art!
That was right. This was a Dragon Race Movement Technique. It was very similar to the Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art but clearly was of a higher level.
As Jiang He moved within a small s.p.a.ce, he moved like a dragon shaking its head and waving its tail. He combined this with the saber in his hand, easily deflecting the attacks of the three.
He repeatedly dealt with the danger, remaining in an indomitable position.
Jiang He smiled and said, "Three useless weaklings added together are only merely so-so."
"You are seeking death. Activate our bloodlines and kill him!"
These people were truly angered, feeling very sullen. Feng Chen was the first to activate his bloodline, the effects of which suddenly erupted from his body.
Next were Yan Yuan and Chen Yun. These three had managed to suppress the many people of their generation in the Soaring Dragon Pavilion with their bloodline power, which clearly showed how strong their bloodline power was.
When the three of them activated their bloodlines, a Great Desolate Divine Might spread out. Immediately, the three of them obtained a suppressive advantage, forcing Jiang He to retreat.
Doubt appeared on Jiang He"s face for the first time. At the same time, his eyes flickered with hesitation.
Jiang He also possessed a Great Desolate Eon bloodline. However, it seemed like he had some concerns about it and did not want to make it public.
Xiao Chen pondered about this. He knew that he could not continue just watching and needed to make a move.
"Tyrant Saber, Breaking Vast Armies!"
The saber appeared magnificent as a berserk, tyrannical might combining the Thunder Great Dao and the Saber Great Dao surged out. Then, Xiao Chen went forward to clash with the three who had activated their Great Desolate Eon bloodlines.
When Jiang He saw this, the serious expression on his face eased up a little, and he laughed loudly.
The saber in Jiang He"s hand trembled intensely, and in the next moment, he unleashed a resplendent saber light, sending out a Great Dao Might as well.
Immediately, the three Great Dao Might merged, clas.h.i.+ng intensely with the three"s Great Desolate Divine Might and bursting forth with an astonis.h.i.+ng mysterious phenomenon.
Without activating their bloodlines, just relying on their Dao Might, Xiao Chen and Jiang He completely blocked the three"s terrifying Great Desolate Divine Might.
In the next moment, the two sides clashed.
A melee broke out: saber light against sword light, Saber Technique against Sword Technique, Great Dao Might against Great Desolate Divine Might.
Horrifying auras spread in all directions, attracting countless people to come and watch.
Soaring Dragon City never lacked huge battles. However, such a scene was uncommon.
Two bladesmen relied on just their sabers to deal with three activated Great Desolate Eon bloodlines, not activating their own bloodlines.
After a while, both sides moved back. Xiao Chen stood next to Jiang He. Some blood leaked out of a corner of his lips, clearly indicative of slight injury.
After activation of the Great Desolate Eon bloodline, one"s combat prowess would increase explosively. With the three"s cultivations, their strength grew infinitely closer to that of a Cloud Sea Star Venerate.
Even with three Dao Might merged, there was still some difference. However, the two just relied on their exquisite saber skills to offset this.
All of the three had a scary saber wound on their bodies. Even scarier was that these wounds contained Great Dao Energy.
There was no way for these wounds to heal quickly. Their blood poured out in fountains, looking very terrifying.
"What are you all just watching for? Attack together!" Feng Chen shouted coldly, enraged. He no longer dared to clash head-on with Xiao Chen and Jiang He.
The one-hundred-odd Venerates behind the three raised their weapons and charged towards Xiao Chen and Jiang He, who had just fought an intense battle.
Xiao Chen and Jiang He immediately split up, each handling their own area.
The Dao Tool in Xiao Chen"s hand contained two Dao Might. The Minor Primal Core Venerates of similar cultivation to him could not block even a single saber strike from him.
The Major Primal Core Venerates could not block more than three moves.
If not for the other side having numbers and being Rank 4 sect disciples, Xiao Chen and Jiang He would have charged out long ago, utterly unscathed.
"Attack!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the three quickly charged back into battle after a short breather.
They made the situation even more chaotic.
"This is never-ending!"
For the first time, killing Qi appeared in Jiang He"s eyes. The saber in his hand suddenly spun around as his aura changed.
When Jiang He swung his saber, his saber immediately turned heavy. Xiao Chen"s eyes lit up upon seeing this; he watched without looking away.
Xiao Chen saw all of Jiang He"s Dao Might vanish. The person seemed to merge naturally with the saber. The sharpness of Jiang He"s eyes all concentrated along the saber"s edge.
After Jiang He swung his saber, the level of s.p.a.ce continuously rose, giving Xiao Chen the same feeling he had in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield.
This…
Xiao Chen"s heart quivered. This was his first time seeing such a heavy Saber Technique.
This scene was like a lightning bolt flas.h.i.+ng in Xiao Chen"s mind, shocking him. He was stunned, forgetting about his current situation.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
All the Venerates in front of Jiang He were chopped in half everywhere the saber light pa.s.sed. Then, the corpses exploded, turning into a pool of blood with splatters shooting off in all directions.
Catching Yan Yuan and the other two off guard, the saber light struck them like a hammer cras.h.i.+ng heavily into their chests, sending them flying and causing them to vomit blood.
The solid blow shook their meridians and bloodlines and nearly entered their seas of consciousness and souls.
Beads of sweat continuously poured down the forehead of Jiang He, who launched this saber strike. After opening such a huge path, he immediately fled far away.
"Go!"
Sheathing his saber, Xiao Chen quickly followed. This opening appeared after much difficulty. If this mob managed to reestablish the encirclement, it would not be easy to replicate that feat.
The three who had fallen to the ground were startled pale, not daring to give chase.
They could only watch as Xiao Chen and Jiang He disappeared into the distance.
The two stopped running wildly only after they were sure of their safety. They finally came to a halt outside the city.
Jiang He panted but had a smile on his face. "Haha! That was delightful! Brother Xiao Chen, I"m very sorry, but there"s something that I have to tell you."
Xiao Chen thought of something, knowing what Jiang He wanted to say. He smiled helplessly and replied, "I also have something to tell you that I"m sorry about as well."
