Jiang Chen caught Cui Yan off guard and knocked him down with incredible speed. At that moment, Jiang Chen had become the centre of attention. Although he only advanced to the Top 30, his strength had gained recognition by defeating Thunderclap Cui Yan. As a new disciple, it was not easy to have such a tremendous achievement.
“I underestimated you. I am sure that you will be one of the Top 10 contestants.”
Yu Chenglong said silently. It seemed like he should not look down upon Jiang Chen as he was very well-prepared to fight the old disciples. The defeat of Thunderclap Cui Yan had brought Jiang Chen to public attention successfully.
“It sounds interesting, the battle is getting more intense and exciting. Jiang Chen, I hope you don’t let me down.”
Xiao Qinglong said smilingly, he looked excited with Jiang Chen. He would not show interest in Jiang Chen if he was merely an ordinary disciple.
Bai Ying and Gu MaoLu heaved a sigh of relief. They were all in a cold sweat when they thought that Jiang Chen would be killed, but he was capable of making a turnaround at the next second. It was such an exciting and intense battle which made a great stir throughout the new disciples’ area.
“You did a great job, Jiang Chen.”
Gu Maolu could only cheer for Jiang Chen at the moment as he got knocked out of the battle in the third round. Among thirty contestants, only ten of them would advance to the next round, which was the most cruel part of the qualifying system. The battle between three people would be a psychological warfare and it would be an intense fight to show their real strength.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and a smile touched the corners of his lips. In the elimination rounds, Yan Qingcheng was one of his opponents.
“Qing Cheng, what about making an alliance? And we fight later.”
Jiang Chen said and fixed his glance at Yan Qingcheng.
Yan Qingcheng looked calm and caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen. She nodded silently and agreed to Jiang Chen’s suggestion.
“I am no match for you.”
Another man looked at Jiang Chen and shook his head. He decided to forfeit the battle voluntarily. He was incomparable with Thunderclap Cui Yan in strength but he was lucky enough to enter the Top 30. If they did not pull their punches in this round, he would definitely suffer a miserable defeat. Even though Jiang Chen was merely a new disciple, he had gained the public’s attention in the previous round.
“Thank you.”
Jiang Chen looked at him with a brief smile and fixed his eyes on Yan Qingcheng once again.
“You want to go by yourself or you want me to send you away?”
Yan Qingcheng said with a cold expression.
“I think I am the one who should say it. I am not sure about who you are but Yan Qingcheng is my lady, how dare you treat her in this way? I was thinking of striking but I can’t get a chance to do that.”
Jiang Chen stared at Yan Qingcheng.
“You’re such a kind and affectionate man. But unfortunately, we became one now. Just kill me if you are able to do so. If that happens, Yan Qingcheng will end up fading away.”
Yan Qingcheng gave a mysterious smile, her eyes filled with thrilling scorn.
“Fine, you brought this on yourself.”
A bright smile overspread Jiang Chen’s face!
A life-and-death battle might break out at any moment. It was a perfect chance to exert the Soul Seizing Divine Art!
“Come and kill me. Just kill me if you can. Hahaha.”
Yan Qingcheng’s smile looked charming and gloomy. The evil spirit in her eyes made Jiang Chen feel pained. He did not know what would happen next if he exerted the Soul Seizing Divine Art but he was bound to protect Yan Qingcheng at all costs, even if it cost him his life in doing so!
“Soul Seizing Divine Art, Soul Leaving and Soul Absorption Art!”
Jiang Chen’s soul pierced through the sky in the twinkling of an eye but his God Emperor Realm soul remained unmoved. The Soul Seizing Divine Art caught Yan Qingcheng off guard. Jiang Chen was able to intrude into her soul. The dignity of a God Emperor’s soul had made the evil who hid in Yan Qingcheng’s body thoroughly exposed. It eventually showed its true colors under Jiang Chen’s oppression!
“You……it is impossible!”
Yan Qingcheng was filled with doubts and disbelief that her soul was completely manipulated by Jiang Chen. She wondered why a God Emperor soul could be found on the body of a Late Divine King strong expert. It was incredible and unbelievable. Her hard work had gone for nothing.
Both of them looked at each other silently. Meanwhile the audiences were completely dumbfounded. They’re burning with curiosity to find out what had happened.
“Nothing is impossible. Tell me now, who are you?”
Jiang Chen intruded into Yan Qingcheng’s soul, his hand was holding a terrible black evil spirit. That was the soul of the intruder!
“I thought Princess Du Juan exterminated you completely in the past, but it seems like you still lived. Who exactly are you and what is your purpose? Tell me, or else I will banish your soul to oblivion now.”
Jiang Chen hated the black evil spirit to the marrow of his bones. The Soul Leaving and Soul Absorption Art could utterly wipe it out from Yan Qingcheng’s soul.
“Hahaha. So what? I just had bad luck today. Hey kid, I swear to turn you into millions pieces and burn you into ashes when I meet you again! Jiang Chen, I will keep you in mind.”
The dark evil spirit sneered. It did not take Jiang Chen’s threat seriously.
“Really? This is your soul, I won’t kill you but I will make your soul suffer a miserable injury.”
“How dare you?”
The dark evil spirit howled wildly.
“Have you ever heard of the Great Yu Soul Forming Light? I can burn your soul to ashes completely. It can also mortally wound your body.”
Jiang Chen spoke the words slowly and clearly.
“Are you talking about the Great Yu Soul Forming Light? So that thing is still here? Let me go now, or else, you will regret it. No, no……”
The dark evil spirit begged for his forgiveness, and Jiang Chen could feel his fear at the moment. But he could not just let it off lightly when he realized that Yan Qingcheng had been writhing in the torment of hell all this while.
“Are you trying to beg for your life now? That’s enough. Hey Great Yu Soul Forming Light, light its soul, and burn it to ashes!”
Jiang Chen roared ferociously. The dark evil spirit was wrapped by the Great Yu Soul Forming Light instantly and its voice could hardly be heard. It turned to ash and disappeared eventually.
On the Middle Region Divine Land, in a great dark palace with a 卐 signal, there was a black-clothed man who looked pale, and was spurting out a mouthful of blood and having a rapid breathing. He looked terribly weak at that moment.
“Fine, Jiang Chen! I will shatter you in pieces in one day! I swore to get the Great Yu Soul Forming Light.”
The black-clothed man clenched his fists, anger was welling up in him. The two Hierarch guardians, who stood beside him, were trembling violently in fear.
Jiang Chen’s face lit up with a faint smile. Both of them were standing still.
At this moment, Yan Qingcheng’s eyes were closed while Jiang Chen was staring at her innocent and charming face.
Yan Qingcheng opened her eyes slowly and blinked. She looked totally different at the moment as her coldness had turned into kindness. She burst into tears and hurled herself into Jiang Chen’s arms, her voice breaking into a sob.
“I am sorry, Qing Cheng. Sorry for putting you through this.”
Jiang Chen closed his eyes slowly and heaved a deep breath. He held her in his arms softly and it made her heart melt.
