Jiang Chen was ready to leave if Ye Xue had not been in the mountains.
“If I leave this way, how can I go on having adventures in the future?” Jiang Chen looked as if he was in a corner.
The two chieftains thought to themselves, Who would care about your reputation? You are just a Martial Emperor in the preliminary stage.
“We’ll give you some rewards. We Fire Spirits have the 15th-ranked Alien Flame. We can share it with you,” said the chieftain of the Fire Spirit.
“But I have nothing to do with fire,” said Jiang Chen.
By then the two chieftains were almost out of patience.
“I can give you the Divine Crystal of Metal. It can help you get the conception of metal. Working with your holy thunder, it can form a very powerful metal thunder.”
“But it will take me a lot of time to practice the conception of metal from scratch.” Jiang Chen looked perplexed.
“What the h.e.l.l do you want?! Do you honestly want to fight with us?” The chieftain of the Fire Spirit was a man in his 30s. He was very hot-tempered.
“Let me think.” Jiang Chen was trying to stall for more time.
However, these two were not dumb. They were not fooled by him. “You are playing tricks with us! You go inside first!” The chieftain of the Metal Spirit realized what was going on. She gave the order while surrounding Jiang Chen with her men. There were 12 Spirit Kings and eight Spirit Emperors. Among them, six of the Spirit Kings and four of the Spirit Emperors had made a detour so that they would not have to deal with Jiang Chen. They headed for the mountains from other directions.
Jiang Chen wanted to stop them, but he was stopped by those who were still there. He thought his tactical formation would be able to stop them. But to his surprise, after approaching the tactical formation, the Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors entered the mountains without effort.
“The Water Spirits have traitors.” This scene, plus the leak of the news, made Jiang Chen sure about that.
“Don’t look down on us!” Seeing Jiang Chen distracted, the chieftain of the Metal Spirits flew into a rage. She strode over. The edge of her hand was giving off a golden radiance.
Jiang Chen took a step back. Her hand brushed by him. Some of his black hair was cut off and fell. He even felt a hot pain in his neck. In terms of sharpness, the property metal was way better than the property wind. The Metal Spirit did not need to use any weapons. They were weapons themselves. They could subdue the enemy simply with some average kicks and punches and quick movements.
The true body was under the crazy attack of the chieftain of the Metal Spirit, while the practicing body was facing another Spirit Emperor from the Metal Spirit.
The Fire Spirit did not act, not because they wanted to stay out of this, but because they did not have the nerve to approach. The attacks of the Metal Spirit would not differentiate between enemies and friends!
Both the true body and the practicing body chose to fight back with the law of wind. They exchanged hundreds of blows at one go. Wind and metal collided intensely. Sparks flew. Soon, Jiang Chen found he had wounds all over his body. The metal blade of the Metal Spirit was too sharp. Even if it did not touch him, he would still be injured.
All of a sudden, the practicing body’s long sword was broken. He received a series of heavy punches. It was because the weapon of the practicing body was not a Doctrine Artifact. The Metal Spirit started to hurt the practicing body madly after breaking the long sword. These Spirits had no idea about the difference between the true body and the practicing body, so they were beating the practicing body to death. Seeing the practicing body about to be killed, a s.h.i.+ning Du Tian Holy Thunder was emitted from his body once again. The Thunderbolt Martial Soul transformed to a thunder sword. Only in this way did he manage to parry the attacks of the Spirit Emperor from the Metal Spirit.
Thanks to the Heavenly Fault Sword, the true body was much less pressured. However, the chieftain of the Metal Spirit was much stronger than that Spirit Emperor. If the fight went on like this, the situation could be unfavorable for him.
“Sky-burning Anger!” Jiang Chen made up his mind. He threw caution to the wind. The Divine Secular Bird showed up again. The fierce and powerful fire devoured the chieftain of the Metal Spirit in an instant. However, she was still fighting back in the fire with an indomitable spirit. She kept moving her hands rapidly. The golden sharp radiance created by the movement of her hands cut the Alien Flame open.
“You claimed you didn’t need fire!” The two Spirit teams had been almost sure Jiang Chen was just stalling time. They were really p.i.s.sed.
“I’ll show you what playing with fire really means!” The chieftain of the Fire Spirit transformed into a flowing light and charged into the sea of fire. Wherever he pa.s.sed by, the fierce fire was squeezed intensely, especially when he raised his hand to push Jiang Chen’s fire forward. When he had come up to Jiang Chen, he had acc.u.mulated the most forces he could acc.u.mulate. He used Jiang Chen’s fire to hit the latter in the chest. Jiang Chen was sent flying ten-odd miles. He coughed intensely, but he looked fine.
These Spirit Emperors were at the peak of Martial Emperor. It did not make sense at all for them to show up in the World of b.l.o.o.d.y Sea. Under their pincer attack, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to win. Fortunately, he just needed to hold on until the reinforcements came.
“There won’t be any reinforcements. Don’t you see it? This is an inside job.” The chieftain of the Fire Spirit walked out of the sea of fire. He might have said that to shake Jiang Chen’s resolution.
“I’m really curious. How much did you pay to persuade a traitor to sacrifice a Sacred Lord of the clan?” asked Jiang Chen.
The chieftain of the Metal Spirit and the chieftain of the Fire Spirit exchanged a look, smiling sarcastically. “You are wrong. We didn’t make any effort at all. On the contrary, the information came to us,” the chieftain of the Metal Spirit said with a cold smile.
Jiang Chen was shocked. There seemed to be a big conspiracy.
“Are you regretting that you missed your chance?” said the chieftain of the Fire Spirit. The practicing body screamed tragically when he had finished speaking. Under the attack of another Spirit Emperor of the Fire Spirit, the practicing body finally lost. He disintegrated by himself.
“So, you are the true body, are you?” Seeing this, the smile on the face of the chieftain of the Metal Spirit became bigger.
Jiang Chen did not answer her. He said after gasping, “You asked me whether I was regretting anything?”
The chieftain of the Fire Spirit frowned at him. He had no idea what he meant.
“My answer is no. I’m not regretting anything. On the contrary, I want to thank you. I’ve been thinking about how to use Martial Daises to exert the strongest fighting power since I became a Martial Emperor. And I couldn’t figure it out. But I have been really inspired by this battle,” said Jiang Chen.
“You are still stalling for time. That won’t work.” The chieftain of the Metal Spirit shook her head. In her eyes, this guy was as stubborn as a mule.
“Let’s attack together to kill him?” said the chieftain of the Fire Spirit.
“Okey-dokey!” The chieftain of the Metal Spirit agreed. The man and the woman jumped out, one from the left and the other from the right. One looked like a volcano that could erupt at any minute, while the other was like a sharp weapon that could break anything in the world.
Jiang Chen raised the Heavenly Fault Sword. The blade was pointed at the middle of the two Spirits. “Universal Wind and Thunder, Swords of Wind and Thunder.” In this biggest crisis ever, his response could not be compared to his performance in the fight with Shui Wuchen. However, if Shui Wuchen were here, he would find Jiang Chen had had some intrinsic changes!
Martial Daises could produce a strengthening effect on Martial Arts techniques and Doctrine Methods, from a few times to dozens of times. The strengthening ratio would depend on the grade of each Martial Dais. In the case of an Immortal Dais, this strengthening effect could be 100 times. However, before this battle, what Jiang Chen had achieved was mostly Earth Dais. He had achieved Heaven Dais only a few times. It was because he had not been skilled enough. And this time, the real power of Immortal Dais was exerted.
The blade of wind and thunder was overwhelming and shocking under the influence of the Thunderbolt Martial Soul and the Ultimate Sword Soul. The chieftain of the Metal Spirit and the chieftain of the Fire Spirit turned pale. They exerted their strongest attacks prematurely to confront Jiang Chen head-on. But they soon found it was a stupid decision.
As soon as they met the blade of wind and thunder, the two’s determination to kill Jiang Chen was frustrated. Not only were their attacks weakened,but they were injured quite severely themselves.
