As Jiang Chen held the golden spear, his aura changed drastically and he seemed like an inviolable God of War. The myriad arcs of lightning made his body shine brightly like a piece of colored glass.
When Jiang Chen faced the attack of the wolf’s claw, he built up power for a short moment, before he thrust his golden spear. An ear-deafening noise echoed out, while the space membrane shattered into pieces and collapsed.
As for the wolf claw, it was crushed apart when it came into contact with its target, while the right arm of the Wolf Clan youth burst open before he could react, and it was left badly mangled. The palaces on both sides suffered great damage, and they changed beyond recognition. If the Soul Palace hadn’t possessed a protective force, such a confrontation would have been enough to raze it to the ground. A miserable scream brought the dumbfounded crowd slowly back to their senses.
“What is going on?”
The crowd looked at the Wolf Clan youth who was crying ceaselessly on the ground, and everyone who witnessed the course of events was confused greatly.
Just after this, many gazes fell upon the golden spear at the same time, as if they had arrived at a tacit understanding. They could all feel the boundless power contained within the golden spear. It was immeasurable!
“Is that an Immortal Artifact?”
“Does an Immortal Artifact really exist? Isn’t it an object that only existed in legends?”
“That claw can crush even Doctrine Artifacts. Yet Jiang Chen who faced it still managed to get an overwhelming victory while holding his spear. If it wasn’t an Immortal Artifact, what could it be?”
More people ran over to the vicinity, and the sound of discussions raged all around.
Jiang Chen took a step, and then another, and went to the side of the Wolf Clan youth, before he lowered his head and looked at him.
“Wait for a moment…”
The heart of the Wolf Clan youth shuddered when he felt Jiang Chen’s gaze, and he quickly raised his hand.
But the golden spear was pointed at his head before he could finish his speech, and when a desperate expression appeared on the face of the Wolf Clan youth, a splendid lightning bolt came out of the golden spear and erased him from the world.
“This is the first one.” Jiang Chen raised his head and swept the crowd with his gaze. Anyone who faced Jiang Chen’s gaze felt like he was in an ice hole.
Everyone here had witnessed the previous battle outside, and they were aware that Jiang Chen was referring to the seven person team.
Po Xie was dead already, while the Human Emperor’s External Body was destroyed. It was only Xiao Qin, Xiao Jiantian, as well as three other people who were left. It seemed from Jiang Chen’s current manner that he didn’t plan to let them off the hook.
“Jiang Chen, please help me fight over the Soul Stones. I’m willing to do anything for them.” Xiao Meng summoned her courage and acted flirtatiously, which was the opposite of the apathetic attitude she had kept during the whole journey.
“Don’t insult this face.” Jiang Chen cast a glance at her with contempt apparent on his face.
Xiao Meng felt like she had suffered a lightning bolt, and she stood there in a daze without moving.
Just after this, Jiang Chen disposed of the Wolf Clan warriors, saved his other teammates, and then he went to look for Xiao Qin. At this moment, only a single one out of seven light beams in the Soul Palace was left, and it was obvious that the other people had already gotten six Soul Stones.
Jiang Chen ran over toward the palace where the last light beam was situated, and as he expected, an intense battle was occurring next to the palace’s opened gate. Xiao Jiantian led his three other companions and obstructed the other people. As for Xiao Qin, she had already entered the palace.
“Why hasn’t he come here?” The second sister, Xiao Xiao, couldn’t get to enter inside regardless of how she attacked, and she became quite anxious, while she waited for the Wolf Clan youth to rush to the rescue.
This was the case even though she had around 30 people and more. But their fighting prowess still wasn’t on a par with Xiao Jiantian and his three companions. If the Wolf Clan youth fought with them, they would be able to break such a deadlock.
“His aura has already disappeared.” Xiao Jiantian discerned Xiao Xiao’s thoughts, and he sneered coldly, before he said, “This means that you don’t have your strongest force.”
“Impossible!” Xiao Xiao looked at the four people. The people who could fight against the Wolf Clan youth were all here, and if someone wanted to kill him, he must possess stronger power.
“He, he, even if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t matter.” Xiao Jiantian shrugged his shoulders, while still wearing a smile.
Xiao Xiao felt for an unknown reason due to her intuition as a woman that Xiao Jiantian wasn’t lying, and, if this was the case, she didn’t have any hope left. Xiao Xiao wanted to give up, but, as she recalled Xiao Qin’s ruthlessness, she realized that this wasn’t a game, and it wouldn’t end with admitting defeat.
“Eldest sister, the clan’s rules didn’t state that you must kill us to the last one.” A woman among the crowd mentioned what Xiao Xiao had in her mind.
Xiao Qin’s apathetic voice transmitted from inside the palace. “If you can’t get soul stones, your lives will be worse than death, and I’m just helping you.”
Xiao Xiao was infuriated greatly, and she said inwardly, You have brought six experts with you, and you obviously didn’t plan to leave other people a way out.
“You are all dragons among men. So, aren’t you afraid that she can’t offer you enough? No matter how generous is the remuneration, how much will you get if it is divided between you equally?” Xiao Xiao started trying to sow dissension between them. They all belonged to the same family, and that was why Xiao Xiao was aware that what she could pay wouldn’t be too much less than the resources that Xiao Qin could offer, and this was also the reason why she couldn’t understand how Xiao Qin had managed to invite Xiao Jiantian and the others.
“Don’t you think that it’s too late to start this?” Xiao Jiantian spoke mockingly.
“It isn’t late yet, and, as long as you are willing to help me, I will take out everything I have.” After Xiao Xiao spoke, she looked at the other teams, and said, “Third sister, sixth sister, I’m not merciless and heartless like our eldest sister, and if you help me, you will still have hope for survival.”
“Okay, let’s obey the second sister.”
“That is right.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao spoke once again. “The resources that we can take out by joining hands shouldn’t be any lower than Xiao Qin, are they?”
What was interesting was that Xiao Jiantian’s offense became more mild, while he exchanged a glance with his other three companions.
But just when Xiao Xiao assumed that there was a glimmer of hope, Xiao Jiantian revealed suddenly a sinister look. “Stop trying to resort to petty tricks.” Then he used his whole power to attack the three people one after the other. His power was extremely ferocious!
“Hateful!” Xiao Xiao couldn’t understand this matter, and she looked reluctantly at the palace, before she turned around to escape. But when she just flew into the air, her power disappeared, and she ended up falling on the ground. She cut a sorry figure!
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao’s Martial Dais was weakening ceaselessly, and it went from the immortal grade, to sky grade, before it reached the earth grade. This wasn’t the case for Xiao Xiao alone; it was also the case for the other two women of the Xiao Family. It was at this moment that the palace’s light beam disappeared.
“Damn it!” Xiao Xiao was aware that this happened because Xiao Qin had gotten all the soul stones, and it was also due to this that the people who didn’t get a soul stone weren’t able to continue possessing an immortal-grade Martial Dais any longer.
“Do you know how foolish are your former words? We have come here just to get your Immortal Dais.” Xiao Jiantian walked over to Xiao Xiao, while sneering ceaselessly. It turned out that Xiao Qin had promised to provide her sisters’ Immortal Daises to this group of people, and help their Martial Daises evolve.
Xiao Xiao suddenly understood everything, and she realized that the Martial Daises of Xiao Jiantian and his companions were just at the sky grade or the earth grade. Getting a perfect Martial Dais was something they yearned for even in their dreams. Cultivators possessed a boundless potential and many possibilities ahead of them before reaching the Star Venerable Realm. But once they reached it, the determined four Qi of the Constellation Palace would forever prevent a person from changing his situation. This was also the case for Martial Emperors, and their Martial Daises determined the heights they could reach.
“This isn’t feasible,” Xiao Xiao shouted. Trying to change a person’s Martial Dais wasn’t any different than a pipe dream.
“You were obviously deceived by Xiao Qin,” Xiao Xiao spoke once again.
“You don’t need to worry about this.” Xiao Jiantian walked over, while his ice-cold gaze was brimming with killing intent. When Xiao Jiantian was about to attack, a heavy footstep attracted his attention, and when he raised his head to take a look, he witnessed a tall person walking over.
“It’s really lively here.” Jiang Chen looked at the large group of people before the gate with his playful gaze, and he smiled with his eyes.
