When most people thought the match was over and were going to cheer for the winner, footsteps could be heard once again. Numerous people looked as if they had seen a ghost. Although they could hardly believe it, Ji Yuan’s figure appeared again. It turned out that it had been false information that as long as he exerted the Wizard Divine Body, it would be his true self! Some Ancients had said that intentionally, because they thought the humans knew nothing about the true-self and the false-self stuff. They did this to mislead Jiang Chen so that he would launch his strongest attack.
At the moment, facing Ji Yuan’s true self, none of Jiang Chen’s forces—wind, fire, or thunder—would be useful. The fighting power of Ji Yuan’s true self had taken another great leap.
By comparison, since Jiang Chen had exerted his unique movements again and again, he must have consumed lots of energy.
“Are you desperate?” Ji Yuan asked sarcastically. His true self was wearing an armor that covered his entire body. Even his fingers were protected by a pair of iron gloves. But this armor was not bulky at all. However, its thinness and lightness were not what was greatest about it. The natural grains on it was its greatest feature: glittering, following some pattern, the lights on it seemed to be able to breathe.
The weapon he was holding was no longer the Golden Divine Spear, but an unsheathed sword. The sheath seemed to be unusually thick, as if the sword inside it was as thick as a fist.
“The strongest warrior among all the races, you turn out to be a cheater hiding behind the scenes,” said Jiang Chen in a cold voice.
“Exactly. That was cheating!”
“It’s meaningless to continue this fight. Jiang Chen has killed you many times!”
“You’ve got the reputation of the strongest warrior through cheating.”
The humans could not stay calm anymore. By then there was no way for the fight to continue.
All of a sudden, the emotional crowd quieted down after some screams. It was blood that shut everyone up. The human who had said “Jiang Chen has killed you many times” was killed. Something was pierced through his chest. It was Ji Yuan who killed him! Although he did not seem to be so strong when he was fighting Jiang Chen, his strength was beyond doubt. He could kill a man in an instant easily. The crowd was intimidated, but they were more irritated than intimidated.
“Ji Yuan!” Frowning, Jiang Chen shouted in a stern voice. He did not know the man who had been killed, but he felt extremely angry.
“Anyone showing no respect to the great Wizard warriors will end up this way, regardless of race.” Some Wizards helped to pass the buck.
Ji Yuan threw the man’s dead body away casually and returned to the battlefield. Gazing at Jiang Chen’s angry face, he said sarcastically, “You’d better worry about yourself.”
“Boo. The strongest among all races. What the h*ll. You are just a contemptible man.”
“You are born to be a dual-pupils wielder, but the pride is acquired. Not anyone can achieve what Jiang Chen has achieved.”
“Ji Yuan is nothing else but a joke.”
To Ji Yuan’s surprise, after a brief silence, the humans did not choose to swallow their pride. Instead, they chose to defend themselves. Certainly, everyone was speaking through holy awareness. In this way, although their voices could be heard, there was no way to tell who was speaking. But judging from the quantity of the voices, most humans seemed to have participated in it.
Ji Yuan flew into a rage. He glanced over with a sharp look. However, it did not stop the voices. They continued.
“Surprised? In your eyes, the humans are still as weak as in ancient times, aren’t we?”
Pulling a long face, Jiang Chen approached him. He said in a deep voice, “You can’t trample on the Human Race’s dignity like before anymore.”
Gritting his teeth, Ji Yuan was in a fury. That was the thing he had heard the most before the Wizard Race reappeared in the world.
“The Human Race might have some strong and brave individuals, but the crowd must be stupid and timid.” Some wise elder Wizard told him that.
“Your Human Race’s rage is unreasonable. Your divine body has several practicing bodies. Why don’t you allow others to have several false selves?”
“You find it hard to accept when the same thing happens to you? What an ugly humanity.”
“It’s supposed to be a fair duel, a battle between warriors. Now you’ve ruined it.”
The Ancients could not sit still anymore either. They spoke one after another to support Ji Yuan.
“Don’t flinch if you are really bold.”
They made a strong argument before the Human Race could say anything else. There was a certain risk to speak, but since the Ancient Race had put it this way, the humans would seem to have a guilty conscience if they did not speak.
“No matter with whom Jiang Chen’s practicing bodies were fighting, they were always open and aboveboard. They didn’t take advantage of anyone.”
“Ji Yuan’s false selves came three times in a row. You just can’t rule out the possibility that he cheated and hid the fact intentionally.”
At this moment, an attractive figure landed on the ground. Her voice was not very loud, but it had a certain magic to it. The whole place went quiet involuntarily.
“The Saint of All Beginnings?”
Seeing who she was, the humans were all very nervous. They were afraid that Ji Yuan would hurt the Saint of All Beginnings too. But they soon realized they did not have to worry about that. It turned out that the Saint of All Beginnings had lifted the shackles after going to the 100-layered Divine Tree of Creatures. She had become a Martial Emperor! She remained calm, ignoring Ji Yuan’s gloomy cold look.
“This is an Eye Technique. It’s a fighting method. You have to admit that,” the Wizard Hou Qin argued.
“I was just telling the truth,” the Saint of All Beginnings said in a low voice.
“Do you humans mean the fight should be terminated because of Ji Yuan’s powerful Eye Technique, although he didn’t use any external force?”
“If that’s the case, the Human Race shouldn’t be involved in such things in the future. Just stay home. That will be definitely safe.”
The Ancients were still arguing.
“Who said that? You Ancient Race are really good at judging others by your own standards,” Jiang Chen replied. This was the first time he had aired his opinion. It created an uproar. Did it mean he would go on fighting with Ji Yuan?
“You will die here today.”
Jiang Chen stopped paying attention to the others. He just stared at Ji Yuan. “You just never say uncle.”
Ji Yuan did not care at all. Smiling coldly, he said, “You were so sure that was my true self.”
Then he repeated what he had done before. He switched the Wizard Divine Body on to exert Three Heads and Six Arms. He jumped up, flying across the sky like a shooting star. The unusually thick sword also showed its true color. It turned out there were six swords in all in that sheath! His six hands held one sword each, manipulating the three great forces of wind, thunder, and fire respectively. When his fighting power had soared by 36 times, he tore apart Jiang Chen’s defenses with only one attack. The latter was severely injured.
Jiang Chen tried to fight back. However, Ji Yuan was immune to all of the attacks launched with the two swords.
“It doesn’t work!” The humans were all very anxious. Even Lin Tianjian was sweating.
“The Paramount Eye has three special Eye Techniques. True self and false self, its actual name is Thousands of Flowers in Reincarnation. False selves mean reincarnation.” To everyone’s surprise, Jiang Chen, about to lose, was speaking in a firm voice.
People were confused at first, including Ji Yuan. Then Ji Yuan reacted strongly, opening his eyes wide. Jiang Chen was totally correct. But this was not the key point. The key point was, now that he had known all along, how could he have mistaken the false self for the true self? All of a sudden, as strong as Ji Yuan was, he was not very confident.
“Are you puzzled? Unfortunately, you won’t have the chance to figure it out.” Jiang Chen suddenly stopped. He was doing nothing, just letting Ji Yuan’s six swords strike him. However, when the blades got very close to Jiang Chen, they were sent flying by a vast energy. From where Jiang Chen’s heart was, endless golden lights were emitted. What came with these lights was the boundless Buddha’s power.
It was not an external force. It was because Jiang Chen exerted Mahavairocana Tantra to put forth the force of the heavens he had got through practicing.
“I’ll kill you with one slap.”
“The Great Vacuum Mudra!”
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen threw his palm over.
