Heavy rain was pouring down, while black clouds covered the sky and thunder rolls echoed ceaselessly. It was daytime, yet it seemed like night.
The rain didnât affect the people on the sea, as their Protective Dipper Energy was like an umbrella that kept the rain ten yards off their heads.
But the great rain still brought a stifling ambience, especially for Jiang Chen and his group that were encircled by spectators.
âWhat do you want to do?â Jiang Chen swept the new arrivals with his gaze that was as calm as usual.
âDonât act stupid, what appeared a while ago was the divine palace,â Chang Wei dared to shout at Jiang Chen once again because of the large number of people by his side.
Jiang Chen looked over at Chang Wei with his sword-like gaze, forcing Chang Wei to lower his head.
âJiang Chen, how did you manage to get the divine palace to appear?â Mo Fan, whose white clothes fluttered in the wind, asked, while his Moon-Canvas Sword shone brightly.
âDid you forget what happened a while ago? What right do you have to raise any questions?â Duan Yun rebuked him.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fanâs gaze became grave, while the Moon-Canvas Sword shone brightly. Its majestic sword energy made the rain stagnate, before it started rising upward.
Duan Yunâs blood-red eyes had an ominous glint. His power had been constantly rising since his Sovereign Spirit had awakened and he had gone through the Ascending Heaven Towerâs trials.
Duan Yun felt like it was time for him to give vent to his anger and pay back the arrogant Mo Fan for his sword strike.
COUGH!
As the crowd of people regarded these two opposing each other, they couldnât help but cough.
âWe only wanted to see the divine palaceâs appearance and know whether it had any extreme martial techniques.â
A charming woman opened her beautiful cherry mouth and spoke. They were in the Ancient Ruins, yet she still wore a sexy dress with a large part of her chestâs snow-white flesh exposed.
As the woman spoke, many formless ripples emanated from her eyes and spread toward Jiang Chen.
The people who noticed her dirty tricks smiled. This woman practiced a charming technique that could affect peopleâs minds, and it was quite effective against men.
The people started looking forward to seeing Jiang Chen lose his self-control and accept the womanâs requests.
Jiang Chenâs eyes shone brightly. The charming technique wasnât able to affect him.
When a look of disbelief appeared on the womanâs face, Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice, âThe divine palace was gotten by me, and it belongs to me. Itâs up to me to make any decisions about it. You have come at me aggressively, and this is already an offense to me.â
Jiang Chenâs attitude was firm and resolute, and he didnât leave any room for discussion. He had rejected everyone!
âDoes the divine palace belong to you? What about your companions? Shouldnât you consult the ninth princess or the Slaughter Sword Doctrineâs inheritor before making such a decision?â
A grim voice could be heard, no one could see who was speaking. These words were vicious, as he was trying to drive a wedge between the companions.
If it had been Jiang Chen alone here, they wouldnât have argued with him and wasted their breath. They were only afraid of Ao Yue and some of the others.
âStop talking rubbish. Jiang Chen is representing us, and itâs all of our opinions,â Duan Yun shouted.
The other people didnât speak, but their expressions were clear and distinct. Even Cao Chong, whose will had been swayed previously, wore a resolute gaze.
âSuch a team had been obviously formed at the last moment. So what kind of charisma does Jiang Chen have that allowed him to achieve this?â
Many people couldnât understand this matter.
âSo there isnât any room for discussion, is there?â
Someone had limited patience, and he immediately raised a question that made the ambience become grave.
Jiang Chenâs group was quite strong, but the people who had come over were the strongest in the Ancient Ruins.
There were at least several dozen people at the same level as Chang Wei, while there were also several people who could rival Mo Fan.
Jiang Chen had a precious treasure and was facing so many people. This was why even his Dragon Punch Technique would be useless now.
âDonât fight!â
What no one had expected was that Jiang Chen would pass down an order and stop the people who had taken out their weapons.
âLeave this matter to me.â
While Jiang Chen was facing many confused gazes, he uttered once again words that gave rise to an uproar.Read more chapter on v ip novel. com
It wasnât Duan Yun and his companions alone who wondered whether they had misheard him, as everyone here felt as if they had just heard something incredulous.
âDoes Jiang Chen want to deal alone with the second rankâs excellent experts with Mo Fan among them?â
The white-clothed woman who had previously had a grudge against Jiang Chen was also among these people, and she still remembered that Jiang Chen couldnât block even a single sword strike of Mo Fanâs.
âEven if you grasped the Dragon Punch Technique, you still shouldnât act so arrogantly,â Mo Fan shook his head and said. He didnât like Jiang Chenâs statement.
âHa, ha, ha, ha, I havenât seen such an interesting person for a long time. Come over and let me see what skills you have.â
âBut before fighting, we must change this horrid weather.â
A vigorous voice reverberated now and, before they could get to see who had spoken, two giant hands were stretched toward the sky and penetrated the black clouds. As those hands exerted their power, the black clouds were forcefully separated, while berserk energy emanated from them.
When many peopleâs gazes became filled with shock, the bright and beautiful sunâs rays shone down upon them, illuminating the dusky sky.
âItâs the Heaven-Rending Hand! Itâs Mo Tianqiong.â
The crowd could discern who it was without even looking at the person.
A sturdy man walked forward. He was wearing battle clothes, and, as he moved around, his bodyâs power flowed madly like the raging waves of the sea beneath his feet.
Mo Tianqiong was an expert who wasnât any weaker than Chang Wei. While he didnât know much about Jiang Chen, he took him only for an ordinary intermediate-stage Martial Emperor.
However, when Mo Tianqiong stepped out, someone immediately used a sound transmission to inform him about past events.
âThe Dragon Punch Technique? Killing Meng Chong?â
Mo Tianqiong was taken aback for a moment, before he grinned. He couldnât cower now, because there were many people standing behind him.
âThe divine palace isnât something a nobody like you can possess. Hand it over if you donât want to have a miserable end,â Mo Tianqiong said.
Jiang Chen took several glances at him and spoke suddenly, âItâs you who tried to drive a wedge between us a while ago.â
Upon hearing this, Mo Tianqiongâs smile disappeared, and a dumbstruck look appeared on his face, as if he had just seen a ghost. He had used his force to transmit his voice, and it should have been difficult to discern who had spoken.
As Mo Tianqiong heard the people next to him whispering to each other, he quickly came back to his senses and spoke with mockery, âThis affair has come to a head. Yet you start once again trying to mislead the public?â
Mo Tianqiongâs usual image was that of a wild and unruly man, not a treacherous and nasty person.
Jiang Chen shook his head and didnât speak further.
âSo, letâs fight,â as Jiang Chen spoke, the Heavenly Fault Sword appeared in his hand.
âWell?â
An odd look appeared on many peopleâs faces, and even Mo Fanâs. The reason behind this was that the Dragon Punch couldnât be used with a weapon.
They had assumed that the Dragon Punch was Jiang Chenâs strongest asset, and that was why they were surprised by this matter.
How could Jiang Chen face one of the second rankâs strongest experts without using an extreme martial technique?
âI have a feeling of déjà vu,â Chang Wei muttered to himself. Last time, Jiang Chen had also been like this, mocked by many people.
But in the end, he had pulled strongly against a crazy tide and amazed the world with a single brilliant feat.
Chang Wei couldnât help but wonder whether it would also be the case this time.
In contrast to Chang Wei, Mo Fan, who didnât personally see Jiang Chen kill Meng Chong with the Dragon Punch, didnât have such profound feelings, and, once he saw Jiang Chen using a sword, a feeling of superiority welled up in his heart.
âYou are courting death!â
Mo Tianqiong charged forward suddenly. His attack was much stronger than the one he had used to split open the black clouds, and it closed in on Jiang Chen, who seemed like a fallen leaf in a strong wind.
As the crowd thought about the might of the previous Heaven-Rending Hand and looked at this attack, they couldnât help but sympathize with this intermediate-stage Martial Emperor.
It was at this moment that Jiang Chen drew his sword, and, at such a moment, the expressions of many of the people here with sharp senses changed drastically.
