Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“His movement technique is more amazing than Hei Yun’s. He must have learned all these moves while fighting Hei Yun.”
“He is so skilled in controlling lightning. I really wonder how he managed to achieve it.”
“It’s too terrifying!”
The crazy fire dragon seemed quite scary, and, at first, many people were worried about Jiang Chen. But they quickly discovered that he could deal with the fire dragon with ease, and they were all relieved.
…..
“Do Sacred Lords like you take everything as a joke? Do you think that I will just stand here without doing anything and wait for Jiang Chen to come to dispose of me after he has dealt with the fire dragon?” The Martial Saint’s words brought Man Tianyin and the others back to their senses. They regarded the Martial Saint sneering coldly and sizing them up as one would look at prey.
“You can’t withstand a single blow from me, and I can slaughter all of you before Jiang Chen can give you any glimmer of hope.” As the Martial Saint spoke, he extended his hand and held out a small pottery jar. Several pills reeking of blood flew out of the jar. “If you consume these, you won’t have to die,” the Martial Saint said.
Even though they didn’t know what kind of objects they were, it wasn’t difficult for them to guess. This was why Man Tianyin and the others opposed him. However, they discovered that the Martial Saint wasn’t mistaken. They were all so engrossed in Jiang Chen’s fight against the dragon that they had forgotten that they still had to deal with a guy that was more trouble than the dragon. The Martial Saint could slaughter them before Jiang Chen finished dealing with the fire dragon.
“You don’t have too much time to consider this.” The Martial Saint sneered at them, while a murderous aura emanated from him.
SWOOs.h.!.+ The first person to react was Xiao Yuan. He didn’t want to consume the pill, and he also didn’t want to die. That was why he just turned around and escaped. A sword beam flickered strongly. It was as quick as a shooting star, and it quickly disappeared from their sight. However, when the others were about to imitate Xiao Yuan, the Martial Saint sneered again and he also disappeared.
The crowd could feel his aura surging around, but they couldn’t witness what was happening. Then, after two seconds had pa.s.sed, the Martial Saint came back, and he was holding Xiao Yuan by his hair. Xiao Yuan was in a sorry state, and terror was apparent on his face. “I will consume it, I will consume it.” Xiao Yuan was also quite clever. He took the blood pill and swallowed it down. Upon witnessing this, the Martial Saint let go of him and looked at the other people with his ice-cold gaze. “I will count up to three, and, after that, the blood pills will penetrate your bodies,” the Martial Saint said.
The faces of Man Tianyin and the others became terrified, and they held their breaths and concentrated. They were struggling with all their intelligence and courage over this matter. Upon witnessing these people’s reactions, the Martial Saint realized that there wasn’t any need to count to three. His robe fluttered then, as the blood pills shot forward. They all contained a Martial Saint’s power, and their might wasn’t any lower than Human Emperor Arrows.
Man Tianyin, Hai Xi, and several other people were probably able to block them. But this wasn’t the case for everyone. When blood was about to start flowing, a person s.h.i.+ning with a golden light landed among them, and all the blood pills disintegrated upon coming in contact with him.
“Jiang Chen?” Soon the crowd was able to have a look at him, and they discovered that it was Jiang Chen who had arrived. However, Jiang Chen was still fighting against the fire dragon in a different place. That was when many people quickly came to their senses and recalled the might of Jiang Chen’s magical clones. And finally they understood what was happening.
“Are those other incarnations, which possess the same power as the main body?” The Martial Saint was surprised by this matter, and he was quite interested in such a magical ability. In the current world, if an incarnation, which had just half of the main body’s power, appeared, it would give rise to a great commotion, and a case like Jiang Chen’s could be considered as against nature.
In a sense, the main body didn’t need to show itself at all, which meant that he would never die. As the crowd recalled Jiang Chen’s crazy actions, they all suspected that all three Jiang Chens in the b.l.o.o.d.y Sea Realm weren’t genuine. They thought that if one of them had been genuine, he would have treasured his life more.
“It’s really a pity. If your main body doesn’t have a power 100 times greater than you are showing, it won’t manage to change anything,” the Martial Saint spoke complacently, as he had a.s.sumed that he had seen through Jiang Chen’s secret. The Martial Saint looked in the distance and continued, “There is still another Jiang Chen in the dark shooting arrows, isn’t that the case? Just come at me, and let me see how skilled you are in archery.”
“I will fulfill your wish.” As Jiang Chen decided to respond, a Human Emperor Arrow shot over, and no one besides Jiang Chen and the Martial Saint could clearly see the Human Emperor Arrow due to its speed. The Martial Saint managed to see the Human Emperor Arrow’s outline, and he believed that he could deal with it. But it seemed as if the Human Emperor Arrow, which had turned into a light beam, was pushed forcefully by something, and its speed rose by another fold. It was quicker than even the Martial Saint’s mind. As a rumbling sound echoed out, the Martial Saint suffered the arrow’s strike, and his outcome was nearly the same as the fire dragon’s. The arrow didn’t just penetrate his body, it also sent him flying for several yards.
“Two linked arrows!” Liu Yiyi, who was among the crowd on the ground, managed to notice its secret and was stunned. The Young Human Emperor had worked so hard and spent half his life just to manage to reach the level of four linked arrows. How long had pa.s.sed since Jiang Chen got the Human Emperor Bow? Yet, he still ended up getting such an achievement?
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!!” The Martial Saint wasn’t shot dead by the arrow, and he let out an infuriated cry. The Human Emperor Arrow had penetrated his chest and it was still quivering.
“My skill is still slightly lacking,” Jiang Che said regretfully. If he had been more skilled, he would have managed to strike the Martial Saint’s heart. This Blood Slave Martial Saint probably didn’t have a tenacious life force like dragons did.
The infuriated Martial Saint was like a volcano, who would erupt out at any moment, and he caused a great disturbance. Everyone in the safe zone felt restless, while the Martial Saint’s awe-inspiring aura engulfed the zone. If it had been someone whose realm level was low, he would have ended up bleeding from his seven apertures and dying.
“Move away!” Jiang Chen looked solemn and asked Man Tianyin and the others to leave.
“Be careful!” Man Tianyin was aware that she could only help him by using external power, and, since even Xiao Yuan, who was at the top of the list, didn’t have any fighting spirit, she also wouldn’t have any way of dealing with this matter.
“The Heavenly Palace’s Master, Jiang Chen, is here, and I will kill a demon.” It seemed as if Jiang Chen had completely changed into a different person. He seemed solemn, sacred, and inviolable. When Jiang Chen’s voice echoed out, the eight groups of spiritual beings’ Buddhist Power surged into his body, and, just after that, Jiang Chen started using the Supreme Enlightenment Buddha Scripture and he got a heavenly G.o.d’s power, while the power of his foundation, the flawless divine body, erupted to its pinnacle.
Jiang Chen didn’t use his Invincible Golden Body for now. He used the power of Doctrine Heart and Buddhist Bones, and, as he held the Heavenly Fault Sword in his hand, the Lightning Martial Soul engulfed the sky. Everyone who saw this was dumbfounded. Even though the restrictions about using external power in the b.l.o.o.d.y Sea Realm had been lifted, no one possessed an external power that could forcefully raise their power by a whole realm. Yet Jiang Chen had achieved it, and he seemed like a heavenly G.o.d, which no one could look straight at.
“G.o.d Descent!” Jiang Chen raised his right hand high, and the Lightning Martial Soul turned into a silver dragon-like lightning and entered the Heavenly Fault Sword. Just after this, Jiang Chen put on the Tathagata Buddhist Robe, which meant that he couldn’t use any martial techniques. He could only depend upon the power provided to him by the Doctrine Heart and Buddhist Bones to face his enemy. But this was already enough, and this could be discerned clearly from the Martial Saint’s current expression. The infuriated Martial Saint had already come back to his senses.
“Die!” The Martial Saint turned into a light beam and he charged forward, as a wind whistling sound echoed all around. If they had been on the ground, all the tall buildings would have crumbled, and the destructive power he would bring upon his target was immeasurable.
Jiang Chen threw out the Heavenly Fault Sword and started weaving hand signs with both hands. “True Void Hand Seal!” A golden hand seal appeared, and it contained a great Buddhist Power, while the golden light emanating from it weakened the Martial Saint.
BANG! The Martial Saint seemed like a poor soul who had ended up slamming against an iron wall. With an enormous loud sound, his muscles were torn apart, while his bones were all broken. This had been a Martial Saint. But the crowd still felt suddenly that he hadn’t amounted to much.
Xiao Yuan regretted the fact that he had swallowed a blood pill, and he reproached Jiang Chen because he didn’t show himself earlier.
