Young Master Blood Moon was able to achieve the state of Celestial Venerable only by chance. However, now his state gave him the confidence to look down on geniuses like Fengyu Duo. He was quite satisfied with himself and the situation.
However, he took it for granted that Jiang Chen’s confidence was nothing else but ignorance. In his opinion, Jiang Chen thought he was capable of fighting with him since he had achieved the late stage of Spiritual Venerable, based on the fact that he had managed to exchange blows with Young Master Blood Moon by resorting to a tactical formation.
He gave a cold laugh when he saw Jiang Chen jumping in the air. A sword appeared in his hand.
“Young Master Blood Moon, do it quickly. That’s not what I wanted you here for,” the man beside him reminded him.
“Young Master Nangong, don’t worry. I’ll try my best. Besides, this is an obstruction we have to remove, isn’t it?” Young Master Blood Moon asked with a slight smile. He was obviously very confident. Jiang Chen did not seem to threaten him at all.
The man nodded. He threw the Thousand Mile another glance and went over there slowly.
“Sis, why are you so persistent? Admit your defeat. You are not strong enough to compete with me,” he said.
Nangong Wan had realized the gap between them. She felt helpless, but, at the same time, she was reluctant to admit her defeat.
“Do you really want me to capture you and kill you?” The man was not a patient person. His voice was as cold as ice.
“I didn’t say anything, did I?” Nangong Wan said unhappily.
She had never asked Jiang Chen to fight. What was happening at this moment came from private issues between Jiang Chen and Young Master Blood Moon. Because of this, he started to pay attention to the two’s fight.
“Apprentice brother, what should we do?” Xiao Yujian asked.
“Wait and see.” Zhou Jianfeng had calmed down. He was quite helpless, since there was nothing more he could do. No matter how strong they were, as Spiritual Venerables, they felt inferior to Celestial Venerables.
Naturally, they did not think Jiang Chen would win either. Even if he could defeat Young Master Blood Moon, there was another Celestial Venerable waiting for him.
“What a pity. I really wanted to have some fun with you.” Young Master Blood Moon suddenly threw his sword over. The momentum of the sword seemed to contain all of the energies of the universe. His attack was powerful enough to destroy the world.
“Don’t feel pity. I want to have some fun with you too.” Jiang Chen was fearless. He came at Young Master Blood Moon holding the Red Cloud Sword in his left hand.
A Spiritual Venerable’s momentum usually was not a match for a Celestial Venerable’s. However, somehow the people on the ship had the impression that Jiang Chen’s attack was actually more threatening. His sword emitting flames especially scared them.
“It is a Doctrine Artifact!”
Fengyu Duo had had bad experiences with the Red Cloud Sword. They saw the sword’s change right away.
The man saw it too. He looked stunned. He looked toward his younger sister again.
Nangong Wan looked toward Qiu Fuping. The shock and doubt in her eyes were obviously asking the same question.
How did Qiu Fuping manage to bring such a wonderful person here?!
The other two women did not know what to say.
He knew Fengyu Duo, and he had a Doctrine Artifact. He could be a genius from the Nine Territories.
“Innumerable Twists and Turns!”
Young Master Blood Moon had a hunch that something bad was going to happen; however, he was reluctant to admit it. He exerted one of his best sword movements.
He charged down. Around him appeared numerous blades, which rained on Jiang Chen like a storm.
“It’s ordinary and childish.” Zhou Jianfeng commented, full of disdain.
“But with the strength of Celestial Venerable, this sword attack is as powerful as our joint attack,” Xiao Yujian said.
Zhou Jianfeng had to admit it. He was worried about Jiang Chen.
“First Sword!”
Jiang Chen also exerted his sword movement. It was the first movement of the Sword Scripture. This was its debut in a real fight after he had mastered it. He had also improved it at the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.
The flame on the Red Cloud Sword suddenly soared, as if oil had been poured on it. Flames covered Jiang Chen’s entire arm. It was different from the style of his father’s Sword Scripture. It was also why the Sword Scripture was so great. Since the momentum of the sword could be decided by each practitioner, it would be tailor-made and there would be no run-in period. The sword movement would naturally coincide with the practitioner’s personal style.
When the practitioner had entered the Fire Sword Realm, it would be closely linked with fire.
He is strong! Young Master Blood Moon felt pressured. As they came closer and closer, his Protective Dipper Energy could not resist the heat anymore. He started to sweat heavily.
In an instant, they crossed swords.
Young Master Blood Moon’s sword crackled as soon as it made contact with the flame, but soon it went quiet again.
However, the momentum of Jiang Chen’s fire sword did not get any weaker. It gave Young Master Blood Moon a hard blow and sent him flying.
“No way!”
It was a fight between a Spiritual Venerable and a Celestial Venerable. The onlookers could hardly believe what they had seen.
For Jiang Chen, this attack was almost effortless. He dashed toward Young Master Blood Moon again.
“My Protective Dipper Energy is going to be broken…it’s going to be broken! Help!” Young Master Blood Moon shouted in panic. He noticed his Protective Dipper Energy was cracking. He already felt the heat piercing through it.
“How powerful is this Doctrine Artifact?”
Fengyu Duo was shocked. Young Master Blood Moon had been sent flying, which meant most of its power had been scattered. However, even so, his Protective Dipper Energy had been damaged to an enormous extent.
It was easy to imagine how sharp the Red Cloud Sword was.
“Jiang Chen’s Fire Sword Realm is really powerful. He is about to achieve the second level,” Zhou Jianfeng said.
“The second level…. That’s too fast….”
Not only had his state leveled up fast, but also his martial arts techniques had caught up with the improvement of his state. Before such a person, these two felt ashamed of calling themselves geniuses.
A useless thing!
The man cursed to himself. He had to join the fight. Since Young Master Blood Moon was still able to fight, they should seize the chance to fight together to subdue Jiang Chen. This was the only way.
Otherwise, if he fought alone with Jiang Chen, as a Celestial Venerable in the preliminary stage, he would end up the same as Young Master Blood Moon. Although he thought he was much stronger than Young Master Blood Moon, this gap was still negligible when confronting Jiang Chen.
“Two Celestial Venerables deal with one Spiritual Venerable together. This has never happened in the Three Middle Realms. Shame on you!” Zhou Jianfeng cursed.
However, his words did not cause the two Celestial Venerables to stop joining the fight against Jiang Chen together.
Jiang Chen was about to attack Young Master Blood Moon, but then he had to defend himself from the man dashing toward him.
“A Sword without Permanence: Soul Stealing!”
The man’s swordsmanship was much better than Young Master Blood Moon’s. Adding his weight to Young Master Blood Moon’s, it put much more pressure on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stood still, pondering.
When the sword came up to him, he emitted a shining lightning. And then he disappeared, just when the tip of the blade had almost pierced his heart.
“What happened?!”
The man felt like he had seen a ghost. He would never have believed a Spiritual Venerable could have achieved such a high speed.
“He is behind you!” He heard Young Master Blood Moon’s warning.
The man gnashed his teeth. He turned around to brandish his sword immediately.
However, there was nothing behind him. He was struck dumb. Then he cursed in anger, “Didn’t you say he was behind me?”
Nobody answered him. Young Master Blood Moon looked scared and shocked. He stared at the man, or what was behind him, to be precise.
“I am behind you.”
The man heard Jiang Chen’s voice. Then he felt like a volcano had erupted behind him.
The man immediately switched on his Protective Dipper Energy and he was bearing a dreadful power.
The man finally ended up the same as Young Master Blood Moon. He was sent flying. His Protective Dipper Energy gave an explosive sound, as if it could not bear the burden anymore.
Young Master Blood Moon came up to help him get to his feet. The two Celestial Venerables leaned against each other, as though they were being confronted by a formidable enemy.
“Who is the Celestial Venerable? Or, is it fair to say this Spiritual Venerable is even stronger than these Celestial Venerables?”
The people on the Thousand Mile felt like they were dreaming. What they had seen had shaken their world.
