Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As expected, Jiang Chen had gone through the Ko successfully. However, the Kos of Thunder he had been going through were getting more and more intense. He was feeling quite pressured by that. He was afraid the Ko of Thunder he was going to face when he broke through to a Martial state would be more dreadful. That was what he was pondering when Xie Yu and the others showed up.

The energy in Jiang Chen’s Constellation Sea had all recovered because of the state breakthrough. As a result, he decided he wanted to have a big fight with this guy ranked on the Sacred Lord List. However, as soon as he saw Yao Zhiyan and Wan Renlong, he became much less interested in Xie Yu. Xie Yu flew into a rage, as if he had perceived the change in Jiang Chen’s attitude.

“Tian Chen, fight with me if you are a man!”

Yao Zhiyan waved his hand before Jiang Chen had time to answer, as a way to tell Xie Yu to hold up for the moment. Xie Yu had to hold his temper.

“It is said you can acquire an insight into the unique movement of the Firm Standing Mountain?” asked Yao Zhiyan.

“Those who can’t acquire the insight by themselves aren’t qualified to get the unique movement.” Jiang Chen made it very clear.

“Of course.” Yao Zhiyan was not surprised to hear that. He said, “However, when you look back at the age of 12, you must have found things that used to bother you when you were three years old that are not worth mentioning anymore.”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Chen was confused.

“It means your teachers are important. They enlighten you a lot when you grow up,” said Yao Zhiyan. Jiang Chen realized he had not given up yet. Yao Zhiyan still wanted him to help with the unique movement.

“I won’t say yes,” said Jiang Chen.

“I didn’t say you could choose.” Yao Zhiyan smiled coldly. There was sarcasm in his snakelike eyes.

Jiang Chen was fearless. Shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You’d better kill me now.”

“Otherwise?” Yao Zhiyan looked pretty disdainful.

“Otherwise, if I become a Martial Emperor, you’ll have to beg for my mercy,” said Jiang Chen. He had to admit his rival’s strength was too strong for him, a Star Venerable, to resist. He wouldn’t even be able to beat him even if he turned to the force of the heavens. However, if he was also a Martial Emperor, things would be completely different.

“Unfortunately, you are not.” Yao Zhiyan did not take him seriously. Licking his lips, he got very excited. It looked as if he could launch an attack at any minute.

“Yao Zhiyan, aren’t you thinking too little of me?” Wan Renlong had stayed silent, because he wanted to see how Jiang Chen would react. Jiang Chen did not let him down. This guy was bolder than he had imagined.

“If you help him, you’ll antagonize the Divine Recluse Race.” Yao Zhiyan was smiling complacently. By comparison, the Divine Recluse Race would not object at all if he dealt with Jiang Chen.

“So what?” Once Wan Renlong had made up his mind, he absolutely would not flinch.

“All right. All right.” Smiling, Yao Zhiyan said, “Let’s not waste our energies. Judging from the current situation, if we fight with each other, this guy will act too. You won’t be at an advantage.” Indeed, if Wan Renlong and Yao Zhiyan tied, Jiang Chen would only have to deal with Xie Yu, Xie Wanting, and the member of the Pegasus Society.

“I’ll stall him for time. Run as fast as you can.” Jiang Chen heard Wan Renlong’s voice. Not until then did he realize this man had come to help him. His eyes and brows looked like the Wan Sisters. Jiang Chen supposed he was also from the Wans.

“Thank you. You don’t have to worry about me,” Jiang Chen replied. He was not leaving.

“We’re not far away from the castle here. The Divine Recluse Race will come at any minute,” said Wan Renlong.

“That will be good. I’ll be able to settle with them then.” Jiang Chen still did not think it a problem.

Wan Renlong was puzzled. He had no idea whether this man was stupid or bold. There was a big difference between being stupid and being bold.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha.”

Although Yao Zhiyan did not hear them as they were talking through holy awareness, he could see what was happening from Wan Renlong’s facial expressions. He burst out laughing.

“Go ahead.” Looking toward Xie Yu, Yao Zhiyan told him. As mighty as Xie Yu was, he was still treated this way. He was certainly pissed. He felt extremely eager to grow stronger—what was as strong as his eagerness and his resolution to kill Jiang Chen.

“Don’t kill him. Subdue him. I’ll take you to the Second Zone,” Yao Zhiyan told him. Xie Yu calmed down, especially when he had heard the mention of the Second Zone.

“Okay.” He gave Yao Zhiyan a big nod, very motivated.

“I don’t want to hear any more cr*p. Bring it on if you want to fight. Otherwise I’ll act directly.” He gave Jiang Chen an ultimatum.

Jiang Chen, already a ten-star strongman, did not speak. He would prove himself with actions.

The two flew to a certain altitude. However, at this moment, a great amount of Bloods appeared. They came in groups, densely covering the sky. But they did not affect the two’s fight, because Wan Renlong and Yao Zhiyan killed all of them before they could even approach.

“Don’t worry. It won’t be too long,” Xie Yu said toward those down below.

To deal with a Star Venerable, he was going to terminate the fight with three movements. He did not want the fight to drag out so that the Sleepers would be attracted here.

“It would be already extraordinary if a Star Venerable can defeat a Martial Emperor. If this Martial Emperor was one of the best in the middle stage, I’m afraid all of the Sacred Lords will be shocked,” Yao Zhiyan said, as if lost in thought.

“That’s not quite possible.” Wan Renlong kept frowning. He was on Jiang Chen’s side, but he thought the gap between them was too huge. It was as if Yao Zhiyan did not think Xie Yu would be able to defeat Jiang Chen.

“Don’t think Martial Emperors are weak just because you defeated one,” Xie Yu warned, showing his weapon.

“Who is the one that doesn’t stop talking cr*p?” Jiang Chen was amused.

“Heaven Decides to Strike, The Only Knife Strike!” Xie Yu launched an attack, holding a scimitar which was a Doctrine Artifact. The luster it gave off looked like the cold luster of the moon. As soon as the knife was thrown over, the temperature dropped drastically.

“The Only Knife Strike!” Xie Wanting and the member of the Pegasus Society were surprised. This was a unique movement. That meant Xie Yu had used his trump card in his first attack. And his rival was just a Star Venerable. It was not hard to see that Xie Yu was very eager for the victory. The Only Knife Strike meant there would not be a second strike, because the enemy would be defeated by the first.

“I’ll kill you if you go too far.” Yao Zhiyan felt uneasy. He was afraid Jiang Chen would be killed. However, Xie Yu did not hear him. His knife momentum was getting stronger and stronger. “A sword without limit, a limitless sword attack. A plain sword attack is crowned as the limitless attack!”

Jiang Chen called out the Ultimate Sword Soul, but he did not combine it with the Thunderbolt Martial Soul as he usually would. He wanted to fight the enemy with pure swordsmanship.

“The force of the heavens!”

Facing a rival who was a Martial Emperor in the middle stage, he had to go all out. He exerted the Mahavairocana Abhisambodhi Tantra.

“Universal Wind and Thunder, Earthly Power Sword!” He launched a sword attack. It was the third movement of the Four Sword Movements. It was the breakthrough Jiang Chen had achieved in swordsmanship through those consecutive big fights.

“Is he really a Star Venerable?” Wan Renlong was greatly shocked while watching them fighting. If he had had no idea of Jiang Chen’s state, he would think the latter was a Martial Emperor who had been holding back his state intentionally. He started to watch the fight more attentively. The earth-shaking disturbance was still coming from Jiang Chen’s Constellation Sea.

“He is working on all of the Four Qi!” It was not rare among Sacred Lords. However, working on four qi was quite burdensome. People working on four qi usually could not achieve ten stars at Jiang Chen’s age.

“How can he be so dreadful?!” Xie Wanting had thought the sword attack Jiang Chen had used to defeat her was his strongest movement. Not until then did she realize how weak she was. She was injured when Jiang Chen held back!

Attacked by the sword momentum, Xie Yu fought back like a moth to a flame. Jiang Chen was giving off resplendent golden lights, like a Buddha himself. The earth was quaking as soon as the Earthly Power Sword was exerted.

What happened next made people doubt whether they had seen it wrong. Xie Yu, a Martial Emperor in the middle stage, took the initiative to launch an attack, but he ended up being sent flying!
