Carrying a liquor bottle, Jiang Chen was once again totally muddled. However drunk one was it was impossible not to still have feelings. Among feelings, love was the most difficult to conquer. He did not know how far he traveled. Neither did he know for how many days he had been walking. Sometimes he was drunk. Sometimes he was sober. He was totally aimless.
During the first few days, the Icy Spirits he met would come up to him to ask whether he needed any help. A few days later, after the royal family had published their statement, the Icy Spirits that ran into him tended to avoid him.
“Shame on you!” Someone even cursed, extremely angry with him.
Not until Jiang Chen found that the ground under his feet was not soft snow anymore did he realize he had walked out of the territory of the Icy Spirits.
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Suddenly one day, the Heavenly Fault Sword and the Red Cloud Sword he was carrying at his waist gave off disturbing chimes. Almost at the same time, the air was torn apart. Numerous blades came piercing toward him. The killers from the Nether World School had found him!
Jiang Chen drew out his swords involuntarily. The black dragon and Azure Demon also launched an attack together with the blades. Cracks could be heard. The killers fell onto the ground after having been killed by the shock.
“If you want to kill me, do it quickly! Stop wasting my time. Is this all you can do is to send those minions to court death?!”
Pointing his swords at the sky, Jiang Chen was provoking the Nether World School’s killers hiding in the dark.
“Humans are so fragile.” Seeing Jiang Chen’s situation, the black dragon commented.
“If he can’t get over this, he will have a devil inside. The consequences will be horrible.” The Azure Demon shook his head. He looked very anxious. However, in this regard, there was nothing the black dragon and he could do to help Jiang Chen.
“Jiang Chen, if you want to survive, you’d better make a plan. Otherwise you won’t be able to leave the Realm of Spirits!” The Azure Demon reminded him.
“I’ll be stopped anyway. Why should I waste my energy?” Jiang Chen looked towards the horizon. There, a flaming cloud was approaching him. When it got close enough, he found it was not a cloud at all. It was an army. Like a plague of locusts, it blotted out the sky and the land. Jiang Chen recognized them. It was the army of the Blood Shadow Dynasty. It was the Blood Shadow Royal Uncle who was leading it.
“He, he.” Jiang Chen smiled even in such a moment.
“Why are you smiling?! We should go right away!” The Azure Demon said anxiously.
“We can’t go anywhere. We must be in a tight encirclement. Go back into the scripture.”
Jiang Chen took a sip of the liquor. Then he jumped onto a cliff to expect the army.
“Jiang Chen!” Blood Shadow Royal Uncle’s face had recovered. He looked majestic and arrogant again. “I’m here with my army. Are you happy?” He shouted in a profound voice.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders indifferently. What surprised him was that there were soldiers from other Spirit clans in the army. It meant the truth about his identity as a Martial Sovereign’s follower had been disclosed. No one would be scared of him for that reason anymore.
“Don’t even try to turn to the Sovereign’s Power. I’ve already investigated your trump cards,” Blood Shadow Royal Uncle said.
As soon as he had finished speaking, a man walked out of the army. It was an elegant, handsome young master in a red fighting robe. It was the inheritor of the Flame Emperor that he had met on the Elixir Emperor’s Ship.
“As long as I’m here, he won’t be able to use his Divine Fire Ring, and he’ll stay as an average Celestial Venerable,” he said.
At this moment, Jiang Chen turned pale involuntarily. He touched the Divine Fire Ring with his fingers. It did not react. According to the Flame Emperor, this was a measure to ensure fairness. He wanted to make it fair for all of his followers. He actually had already broken the rule by helping Jiang Chen achieve God of Fire Descends to the World.
“So, you’re not so dumb. At least you came up with this idea,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone.
“You’re still so stubborn when you’re about to die?” A fire of anger and hatred was burning in Blood Shadow Royal Uncle’s eyes. The more he hated Jiang Chen, the more complacent he was feeling.
“Invincible God of War turns out to have sacrificed his future for temporary fighting power. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“Invincible God of War? It’s only a joke.”
“I’ve never seen such a stupid person who acquired a divine body through practicing!”
“Your essence of blood of divine body will be mine!”
Besides the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s army, those from the other Spirit clans also talked excitedly. Most of these Spirits were not peers of Jiang Chen. Between 30 and 40 years old by then, they had also been men of the hour when they had been Jiang Chen’s age. Some of them had become Great Venerables, while others had been at the peak of Celestial Venerable.
Unconvinced after learning that Jiang Chen had got the title Invincible God of War, they felt much better when they had heard the truth about his divine body.
“Useless things. You have quite a few excuses,” Jiang Chen said sarcastically.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a blade appeared behind him. It was an elite killer from the Nether World School!
Various forces were determined to kill Jiang Chen this day. The Nether World School had to beat them to it. Otherwise they would not be able to get their task done. This time, it was an extraordinary killer. His blade had a cold luster. It was extremely sharp.
Jiang Chen decided to use the Wind and Fire Sword Realm. He turned around to throw his sword over. When their sword momentums met, sparks were flamed out. Jiang Chen flew into the air and landed ten-odd miles away. To his surprise, this killer was only a Celestial Venerable. This meant that the Nether World School was using him to train their young killers.
At the same time, the Spirits and the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s army in the air also charged over. The cliff where Jiang Chen was collapsed. The whole world was shaking. Rocks kept tumbling down. Up until then not even one Great Venerable had launched an attack.
The Blood Shadow Dynasty hated his guts. Instead of attacking him in person, they left him to the soldiers. It would be a joke if people knew any Great Venerable tried to kill a Celestial Venerable. It was probably for this reason that they could not kill Jiang Chen quickly.
Holding his swords, Jiang Chen sometimes flew into the air and sometimes landed on the ground. The enemy around him kept chasing him, as if they were chasing a storm.
“He is brave indeed. He manages to resist thousands of people,” someone whispered secretly.
Every time Jiang Chen stopped to throw his sword over, what he would face was the joint Spiritual power attack of thousands of people, which was powerful enough to destroy the world.
Jiang Chen was doing great. His divine body was emitting a strong light. His body seemed to be made of gold. He manipulated the Doctrine Heart to enter an invincible status. Wherever he passed, people would either die or get hurt.
“Shall we join them?” Some Great Venerable suggested. If they joined the fight secretly and left no traces, no one would know. However, no Great Venerable would do that unless it was the only solution. When the Great Venerables were going to attack, the Nether World School’s blade appeared again. There was no warning at all. And the timing was perfect. It was right after Jiang Chen’s attack. The blade cut Jiang Chen’s chest open. Blood splashed out. However, to everyone’s surprise, even the splashed blood contained endless energy. It turned into thunder and fire and exploded. Large amounts of armed soldiers of the Blood Shadow Dynasty died.
“Is he still alive?”
His chest was torn apart. People could even see his heart pounding. However, Jiang Chen was still standing there. Both of his swords were chiming.
The first sword attack failed. The Nether World School’s killer lurked in the dark to wait for his next chance.
“If only the wound were deeper.”
The Great Venerables felt it a terrible pity when they had seen Jiang Chen’s wound.
“But he has almost reached his limit!”
