“I’m giving you a chance now to surrender, otherwise you’ll die a terrible death. The three dragons of the outer-palace aren’t weak, you will not get this chance if you face any of them.” Qin Qinglang sneered.
“I’ve gone into seclusion for 180,000 years, my divine origin energy is at its peak. Although I’m only a Peak Divine King, I possess the might of a Half-Step Hierarch. That Purple Devil Taro will surely help me reach the Hierarch Realm instantly!” Qin Qinglang said.
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. This fella’s very patient, 180,000 years of preparation! Wanting the Purple Devil Taro to instantly reach the Hierarch Realm! He has reached the peak, he only needs to raise his spirit cultivation stage. The Purple Devil Taro could boost one’s spirit greatly, therefore, it has become a target for him and the three dragons. The four of them will be able to reach the Hierarch Realm with that.
“It’s a rare opportunity for you, however, my aim is the same as yours, the Purple Devil Taro is mine and I will eliminate whoever that stands against me.” Jiang Chen said.
This Qin Qinglang is pretty strong and his words are pretty arrogant too. His aim is the Purple Devil Taro, but it’s a pity that I’m here. I will defeat him here and I hope Yu Chenglong can defeat Xiao Qinglong.
Yan Qingcheng silently watched Jiang Chen from the side with boundless happiness within her heart. He will stand victorious in the end no matter how badly he’s looked down upon. Within her heart, Jiang Chen was the strongest that ever existed!
“I’ve said what is needed, yet you’re still too stubborn, looks like I have to teach you a harsh lesson. The blade is heartless, you better not beg for your life if you’re killed in a single strike. Hmph.” Qin Qinglang sneered.
The battle for the top-3 started.
Yu Chenglong and Xiao Qinglong had started their heated battle, the highlight of this competition.
Lord Lin watched and smiled:
“Yu Chenglong and Xiao Qinglong, it’s not certain who’ll win. However, that newcomer is interesting. Qin Qinglang’s very patient and has prepared thoroughly, he’ll certainly reach a great height in the future with that attitude. Instructor Qian, who do you think will win?”
Qian Renji frowned. Deep down, she wanted Jiang Chen to win but Qin Qinglang was on-par with Yu Chenglong and the others. This battle was perilous, it’s more than sufficient for him to not die in this clash.
“I can’t determine it, however, Jiang Chen may perhaps stop at this stage.” Qian Renji said.
“I have a different view, that little fella is different. Not anyone can just reach the top-5, Chen Long and the others are expected. Qin Qinglang is also within expectation. That fella is different, I have expectations of him. He dared to look straight in the eyes of the Palace Lords. He possesses an unbreakable pride, one that would even go against the highest authority.”
Qian Renji did not expect Lord Lin to give Jiang Chen such high praise.
“No matter the result, bring him along for the journey later. It’ll be good training for him. He’s bound to grow into a great figure.” Lord Lin said.
Qian Renji was startled. He’s just a Late Divine King, the weakest for the journey is at least at the Half-Step Hierarch, all of them are the elites of the palace, looks like Lord Lin really has a high expectation towards him.
“Understood!”
“Right… Lord Lin, is the beast suppressed?” Qian Renji silently asked.
“We barely managed to suppress it. So many troubles are happening around the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Sigh, both the lightning and Heavenly Dragon Prison have such disturbance… I wonder when the Palace Lord will return.” Lord Lin sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He was a Late Hierarch, yet to show such expression, the situation in the Profound Connection Divine Palace was pretty bad.
“We can only pray that the two Palace Lords are able to refine that beast and solve the most urgent matter of our Profound Connection Divine Palace. The seal is getting weaker but the Palace Lord is yet to return, so much trouble… However, there won’t be much trouble for a while. The second and third Palace Lords and us old fellas are still able to stabilize the seal for a while but that’s not the solution…”
“What manner of beast is that? To think it’s that terrifying?” Qian Renji curiously asked.
“Unspeakable!” Lord Lin’s expression instantly became heavy.
Qian Renji knew that some matters shouldn’t be discussed or asked, therefore she did not prod further.
At this moment, the battle between Yu Chenglong and Xiao Qinglong was reaching its climax. It was a rare and grand sight to behold so the disciples observed and took notes to help in their own cultivation.
Yu Chenglong was not any weaker than Xiao Qinglong, plus, his obsession to obtain the Purple Devil Taro was strong. A person that was filled with strong obsession could push past a person’s limits and do wonders.
Yu Chenglong had reached such a state. Therefore, he wasn’t overpowered by Xiao Qinglong and managed to throw out lethal blows after one another.
Xiao Qinglong was pretty gloomy, they were both pretty on-par in regards to cultivation and Yu Chenglong had stagnated his cultivation for the past hundred years. Chenglong’s obsession in obtaining the Purple Devil Taro was too strong.
“You forced my hand, Yu Chenglong, don’t blame me for not holding back!” Xiao Qinglong roared as he was suppressed by Yu Chenglong.
It was an exciting and chaotic battle.
There were also some inner-palace disciples that were observing the two as those two were able to defeat inner-sect disciples. They were stronger than your average Half-Step Hierarchs.
