Jiang Chen didn’t know whether such a sword move would succeed. But, even if it failed, the Wind and Fire Rules, which could go out of control, would cause great destruction and were tantamount to an attack. If Shui Wuchen was now aware of Jiang Chen’s plan, he might end up losing control of himself once again.
When Jiang Chen used the sword move, an earnest expression appeared on his face, and he didn’t care any longer about whether it would succeed or fail. As the Sword Spirit tried controlling the Wind and Fire Rules, it gave rise to an intense reaction. A solemn expression appeared on Shui Wuchen’s face. He didn’t move back, and he used his whole Spiritual Power and Boundless Mysterious Water.
Bang!
Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Power Sword Move didn’t succeed, and the wind and lightning had gone out of control when his opponent’s spear approached him, and they became more chaotic as Shui Wuchen’s attack mixed along with them. In the end, both people were sent flying by a powerful shock wave. They both flew quickly through the air, and a sharp sound echoed out. When they came to a stop, the air around them became scalding due to such intense friction in the air.
Jiang Chen extended his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and his fingers were stained by fresh blood. Even though he had a divine body, he still ended up losing blood due to an intense shock. It could be discerned from this how terrifying it was.
On the other side, Shui Wuchen tumbled to the ground, and he ended up smas.h.i.+ng into many trees on the way and destroying them, before he created a big pothole on the ground.
When Jiang Chen rushed over there, he witnessed Shui Wuchen trying to prop himself up with his spear, and he managed to stand up only with great difficulty.
“You have lost,” Jiang Chen said.
Shui Wuchen lowered his head. His long silver hair, which was covered with dirt, covered half of his cheek.
“You should give up such ludicrous thoughts.” Jiang Chen didn’t kill him. After all, according to what he had heard and seen, this guy had helped Ye Xue.
“As a matter of fact, it doesn’t matter whether I want it or not, as both Ye Xue’s heart and body have belonged to you for a long time,” Shui Wuchen said.
“It’s fine as long as you know it.” Jiang Chen chuckled complacently, as if he didn’t notice the grief apparent in Shui Wuchen’s tone. Shui Wuchen let out a bitter laugh, and when he was about to continue speaking and utter something else, a miserable cry echoed from a distant place.
When Jiang Chen observed that place carefully, he realized that a group of people was attacking Bing Tian and the others. “It’s the Fire Spirit Clan and Metal Spirit Clan.” Bing Tian quickly came over. He had also suffered their attacks, and blood was flowing out of him. Jiang Chen quickly treated his injuries and looked in the distance. There were around 20 people there, and they all possessed two different types of spiritual power.
“They have come here to thwart the trial.” Shui Wuchen moved his body forcefully and a bugle-horn appeared in his hand. He put it before his mouth and blew at it. A sonorous bugle horn sound reverberated in the sky, and it could be heard throughout the whole mountain. But, even after a long while had pa.s.sed, Shui Wuchen didn’t see any teams coming.
“What is going on?” Shui Wuchen panicked, and he rolled his eyes around and held Jiang Chen’s arm. He spoke excitedly, “They want to wreck the Sacred Spirit’s master recognition ritual, and the sole way for achieving their aims is…”
“Is it killing all the people who take part in the trial?” Jiang Chen helped him finish his words.
“That is right, and Ye Xue is among them.” Jiang Chen realized that he would shortly have to take part in another fight.
“There is a great disparity between our power, and we will only die if we stay here,” Bing Tian, who was next to them, spoke anxiously, “Twelve Spirit Kings and Eight Spirit Emperors have come over.”
“What?” Jiang Chen didn’t think much of it, while Shui Wuchen’s expression changed drastically once again. A Spirit King was tantamount to the Human Clan’s Martial Emperor, and a Spirit Emperor was tantamount to a Martial Saint. But, the Spirit Emperor’s t.i.tle covered a great category, and the strongest Spirit Emperor had power on a par with a Martial Saint, while the power of the weakest Spirit Emperors was only on a par with an apex Martial Emperor.
“Are they mortal-grade Spirit Emperors?” Shui Wuchen asked.
“That is right. At least, the one seen by me was at the mortal-grade.” Bing Tian nodded, and said anxiously, “Let’s quickly leave, and go ask for reinforcements.”
“Where can you get reinforcements?” Shui Wuchen laughed in mockery, and he left Bing Tian at a loss for words.
“I will go ask people for help, while you help me and hold them up, okay?” Shui Wuchen looked in expectation at the only useful person here.
“What do you think I will do?” Jiang Chen asked back with his gaze full of mockery. Did this guy take him for a fool?
Shui Wuchen also realized that it wasn’t appropriate to ask Jiang Chen to take such a great risk, and after he pondered it, he took a decision, and put his hand on Jiang Chen’s shoulder. When Jiang Chen was about to fight back, cyan energy flowed into his body. “What are you doing? Is it the Boundless Mysterious Water?” Shui Wuchen had unexpectedly poured one of the Four Great Chaos Spirits into Jiang Chen’s body. This wasn’t any different than how a possessor of an Alien Flame’s main source could give a part of it to other people, so that they could fight with it. The Boundless Mysterious Water’s main source was obviously its cultivation method. Shui Wuchen didn’t mention this matter and just said, “I need only 15 minutes, and I will manage to come back with people by then.”
“The Boundless Mysterious Water is useless to me,” Jiang Chen spoke helplessly.
“This is all I have. Fine, I will leave, and if you don’t care that Ye Xue will face danger, you can just leave.” Shui Wuchen, whose body was injured, proceeded in a different direction.
“You should also leave. This time, don’t watch the battle from a distant place,” Jiang Chen said.
“Be careful!” Bing Tian didn’t have the right to ask anything of Jiang Chen, and he just followed Shui Wuchen and left.
Jiang Chen consumed an Immortal Elixir, and flew into the sky along with his magical clone. The Fire and Metal Spirit Clans team had already come over, and they were all br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent. They were surely anything but kind people!
“Get lost!”
When they witnessed two people with the same appearance, they didn’t take them seriously.
“A formation is set here, and if you want to get inside, I can help you.” Jiang Chen tried his best to stall for time.
“Do we need your help? Don’t waste our breath. Let’s kill him.” The Fire and Metal Spirit Clans’ leaders spoke before they flew over while emanating an overwhelming aura.
I will give it a try. Jiang Chen got a daring idea, and he released through his fist the Boundless Mysterious Water gotten by him from Shui Wuchen.
“It’s too laughable!”
Jiang Chen wasn’t good at such a field, and as he used the Boundless Mysterious Water in such a way that he didn’t manage to release even a third of its might. However, Jiang Chen wasn’t someone who would make a foolish decision, and the magical clone next to him started using Heavenly G.o.d Lightning and imbued it into the Boundless Mysterious Water. The Boundless Mysterious Water was still stimulated by him, and it turned into torrential rain, which fell upon the two Spirit Clan’s teams. A cracking sound could be heard from the water!
“You should quickly dodge it!” The Fire Spirit Leader shouted loudly and soared high in the sky. The people behind him reacted more slowly than him, and they all ended up hit by the rain. This group of people couldn’t disregard Heavenly G.o.d Lightning like Shui Wuchen, and they all suffered a grave blow. The 20 Spirit Kings all cut a sorry figure and twisted around in the air like demented people.
“It’s really useful!” After Jiang Chen succeeded, he planned to use the whole Boundless Mysterious Water along with the Heavenly G.o.d Lightning.
“Wait for a moment!” The Metal Spirit Leader called Jiang Chen.
Since Jiang Chen just wanted to stall for time, he was obviously willing to stop.
“You are a human, and you don’t need to take part in the fights between the Five Great Clans. It will only bring great trouble to you.”
“That is right, as long as you are willing to make way for us, our Fire Spirit Clan will be grateful to you,” the Fire Spirit Leader said.
Jiang Chen revealed a pensive look, and when those two people looked impatient, he said, “But, I’m entrusted with this by some people.”
“Did the people who entrusted such a task to you inform you that you would have to face such a powerful team? The other people don’t care about you. So, why do you need to take such a foolish decision?”
The Metal and Fire Spirit Leaders were a man and a woman, and they both coordinated well and spoke one after the other. They wanted to persuade Jiang Chen!
