As the Water Dragon Black Guard fell, Jiang Chen pulled out his sword, and his sword beam penetrated all eight warriors. The sword beam struck their vital regions and took their lives.
Bing Tian had returned, and his face became filled with shock upon witnessing the eight corpses on the ground. Such power can let him reach the top positions of the Sacred Lord List, Bing Tian thought inwardly.
Jiang Chen slowly sheathed his sword, and it seemed like he was pondering something. It wasnât related to the people he killed. He was just pondering the Martial Dais, which he still hadnât mastered fully. After he became a Martial Emperor, he used the Martial Dais to launch an attack, which meant that he would need to use the Martial Dais to release all offensive techniques or sword techniques mastered by him previously. However, it was a pity that he had been pressed and didnât get to start such a process.
I need an opponent on a par with me, Jiang Chen thought.
What was really a coincidence was that such an aura was approaching this place then. Bing Tianâs face became flushed due to that guyâs aura, and he couldnât even breathe easily. When Bing Tian was so stifled that he almost ended up sustaining internal injuries, Jiang Chen patted his chest and sent him flying away without injury so that he could keep a safe distance from the guy.
âItâs Shui Wuchen, and heâs the great general everyone was talking about. Letâs quickly leave this place. In any case, Ye Xue had already gotten inside.â Ye Xue had already started the trial, and success and failure would depend entirely on her. They couldnât be of any help to her. Even if Ye Xue succeeded, she still might not come back through the same road.
âYou should leave first without me.â Jiang Chen decided to stay here and see this pursuer of Ye Xue.
After a short while, the Water Spirit Clanâs great general arrived. His stature was similar to Jiang Cheâs, and he wore a dark golden armor, with a silver cape draped over his shoulder that fluttered in the wind. The generalâs face had sharp features, and he wore a stern, ice-cold expression. When the pair of star-like eyes below his thick brows sighted the eight corpses, they shone with a cold glint.
âIs it you who have killed them?â Shui Wuchen looked at the sole person still standing here.
âIt was me.â Jiang Chen didnât deny it.
âWhat is your name?â Shui Wuchen pulled out his swords and spoke coldly.
âTian...forget that, itâs Jiang Chen,â Jiang Chen stated his true name. He didnât fear the Human Emperor any longer, and he even wanted to cause trouble for him.
âIâm Shui Wuchen, the Water Spirit Clanâs great general.â Shui Wuchenâs weapon was a fine spear, which had a thin head that nearly formed a straight line with the rest of the spear. As Shui Wuchen built up power, cyan light started spiraling around the spear, and, when it reached the spearhead, the light turned into a dragon, which roared at the sky.
âPay for it with your life.â As Shui Wuchenâs voice echoed out, he swept everything in front of him with his spear and charged forward. A water dragon appeared here once again and it flew forward. The disparity between it and the eight warriorsâ water dragon was like the disparity between a hill and a towering mountain. However, as long as it was formed by water, it could conduct electricity, and Jiang Chenâs Heavenly Fault Sword had Heavenly God Lightning intertwining around it.
âWorldly Wind and Lightning: Lightning Power Sword!â Jiang Chen thrust his sword forward, and lightning streaked across the sky and bombarded the water dragon forcefully. The water dragon wasnât destroyed by it. But, the lightning power still flickered around among the water, and the water dragon seemed quite dazzling and gorgeous.
However, Jiang Chen discovered then that this guyâs water dragon didnât fear electricity for some unknown reason.
âSweep him!â
Even when the lightning fell upon Shui Wuchenâs body, it only caused his dark golden armor to shine brightly, and he wasnât affected by it. He then continued using his move which was able to annihilate myriad armies. His water dragonâs spiritual power rose to the pinnacle, and it attacked along with the Heavenly God Lightning.
âHow is this possible?â It was now Jiang Chenâs turn to state such words.
âWorldly Wind and Lightning: Wind Power Sword!â Jiang Chen used his whole power and immediately changed his move for another one. But, when he just started using Wind Power Sword, the water dragon had already pounced on him. The Sword Wind tore the water dragon in half, while the lightning in the water gave rise to many sparks due to such intense friction. It was obvious from Jiang Chenâs expression that this was a strenuous task, and even though he strived hard to persevere, his Heavenly Fault Sword still swayed slightly.
The incomplete Wind Power Sword Moveâs energy scattered, while Jiang Chen fell into the water dragon. He lost control of his body, and he got dizzy as he was swung around.
âOscillation!â Shui Wuchen waved his spear, and a whirlpool appeared among the water dragon, and Jiang Chen was precisely at the center of the whirlpool. When the whirlpool almost became like a black hole, Shui Wuchen built up enough power, and thrust his spear forward.
Rumble!
The whole water dragon exploded and turned into mist due to such a spear strike, and even the void shook intensely due to such a strike.
As expected of a great general with 100 victories! Bing Tian, who was in a distant place witnessing such a sight, muttered to himself. Such a spear strikeâs destructive power would be able to tear apart even the strongest objects.
âNot bad!â When Bing TIan had just assumed that it would be difficult for Jiang Chen to survive, the latter appeared behind Shui Wuchen. At such a crucial juncture, Jiang Chen used a Foot Apart World Technique to dodge such an attack. He was still left with his blood and energy churning, while his breathing became rough.
âBoundless Mysterious Water, one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits.â This was a powerful force similar to the Solar Golden Flame among his opponentâs spiritual power. This was why it couldnât be restrained by lightning. Instead, it even used lightning power to attack him.
âYou arenât weak either.â Shui Wuchen was surprised by this, and he adjusted himself slightly and prepared for the next attack.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and collected all his Heavenly God Lightning and left just the whistling Sword Wind. The next second, Jiang Chen attacked with his sword, and he started a close-quarters attack. His Sword Wind was transforming ceaselessly, and it was able to attack and defend at the same time.
âYou shouldnât have chosen me to practice on.â Shui Wuchen had seen through his opponentâs motives and turned his hand around and waved his spear. A cyan light started spiraling around his body. They both exchanged blows with their weapons and had an intense confrontation. Shui Wuchenâs Realm Level was at the late-stage of the Martial Emperor Realm, while he also possessed Boundless Mysterious Power and was a Water Spirit. He possessed great fighting prowess!
But Jiang Chen was becoming fiercer the more he fought. Real battles were the best way of making quick progress.
âExtermination!â Shui Wuchen wouldnât allow him to make any progress, and he attacked more swiftly and violently, while the Cyan Energy Light formed a stream.
Jiang Chen bore the greater pressure, and he realized that he mustnât hold anything back. âYou have protected Ye Xue in the Spirit Zone, havenât you?â Jiang Chen asked.
Upon hearing the name mentioned by Jiang Chen, Shui Wuchen had an intense reaction. âWhat about it?â Shui Wuchen wasnât aware yet of the relationship between Jiang Chen and Ye Xue.
âI will spare your life after I force you to give up on your presumptuous aims.â Jiang Chen pulled out the Red Cloud Sword with his right hand, and both wind and fire started raging around, while the Boundless Sword Soul and the Immortal Divine Bird appeared at the same time. The Immortal Sword Spirit fused along with the Wind and Fire Rules. It seemed a natural and perfect fusion, and there werenât any imperfections like when he used the Wind and Fire Swords Realm. Jiang Chenâs current Wind and Fire Swords Realm was already above the tenth level, and as he used it along with the Solar Golden Flame, the might of Shui Wuchenâs Boundless Mysterious Water became lower.
âIce is the pinnacle of water, and itâs also the Water Spiritsâ fate. If you donât evolve, you will be eliminated.â
Shui Wuchen was taken aback by this, and he said, âIf I get with Ye Xue, I will demonstrate it to the Water Spirit Clan, and we will change the fate of the whole Spirit Zone.â
Upon hearing him speak so righteously, Jiang Chen sneered coldly several times and spoke in mockery, âItâs a pity that itâs only your own wishful thinking.â
âItâs because a human like you is bothering us.â Shui Wuchen, who had kept his calm all along, lost control of himself, and he shouted sinisterly, while his spear moved around like a dragon. âYou still donât know how to use a Martial Dais well, and trying to use the Wind and Fire Rules with a Sword Spirit is above your capabilities. Cut him apart!â Shui Wuchen thrust his spear forward with his whole power.
Shui Wuchen had stated a crucial matter. Jiang Chenâs fighting prowess had already risen greatly. But he wasnât able to use any move which needed building up power.
âWorldly Wind and Lightning! Heavenly Power Sword.â Jiang Chen used a sword move, which he still hadnât mastered, and the Wind and Fire Rules started transforming crazily, while still on his two swords.
