Chapter 733 - A Chess Piece and a Sacrificial Victim
Lightning flickered unceasingly in the spirit mountain, and it formed a pond of lightning.
Jiang Chen was among it, and his clothes were torn apart by it, while his body bore its intense brunt.
Even though he had a Divine Body, and Holy Pulses, it still surpassed his highest bearing limit, as the converged lightning was too ferocious.
Before Jiang Chen was torn to shreds by it, he extended his hand, and held the Lightning Sword.
The Lightning Sword’s lightning engulfed his whole body, and formed special protection around it. Not only wouldn’t he suffer harm now, but he could also still absorb lightning as he wanted.
This was because the Lightning Sword had something similar to humans’ bodies Lightning Core. It was left in it by its creator, and it could be used by the sword owner.
Jiang Chen didn’t use it to fight enemies, but just to cultivate.
Even after most of the day passed, the whole Treasure City was still bustling with noise and excitement.
In the end, Jiang Moliang couldn’t bear it any longer, and she walked toward the door of Jiang Chen’s room.
She was really curious about what was Jiang Chen doing now.
When she pricked up her ears, and listened to any sign of activity inside the room, her expression changed drastically.
If she didn’t guess wrongly, such a faint breathing sound indicated that Jiang Chen was sleeping.
“Can he still sleep even now?”
Jiang Moliang went to the gate, and knocked on it. After she knocked on it several times, she discovered that the room’s door wasn’t closed.
She hesitated for a moment, before she opened it, and entered in. She discovered then that Jiang Chen was really sleeping soundly on the bed.
Since he caused such a disturbance the day before while cultivating, it would be normal for him to end up tired and exhausted.
But he would shortly have a great fight. Could he still sleep now?
“Or did this mean that he didn’t fear defeat?”
Jiang Moliang said inwardly, even if he lost, he would just lose face. Moreover, he was just a Spiritual Venerable, who lost to a Celestial Venerable.
However, the reason why she came here was precisely for this.
“Didn’t you go back yet?” It was unknown when Jiang Chen woke up, but he still sat on the bed’s side, and asked her.
“I need to take care of today’s matter properly,” Jiang Moliang said, before she examined him. After she confirmed that his cultivation was still in the middle stage of Spiritual Venerable, she affirmed her guess.
“I hope that you will inform him clearly of the Blood Oath when you are about to fight him,” Jiang Moliang said.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows, and said, “Are you afraid that it will turn into a fight to the death? If I died, then this conflict, which is caused by you, will harm Jiang Zhe, isn’t it?”
Jiang Moliang didn’t deny it, and she nodded.
“Why don’t you inform him by yourself?” Jiang Chen asked.
Jiang Moliang still didn’t speak, and she tilted her head away because of a twinge of guilt.
“I will state the reason for you,” Jiang Chen said, “It’s because you find it disgraceful to ask a favor from a person, whose cultivation is weaker than you, just for another person, which you look down upon.”
Jiang Moliang still didn’t deny it.
“But don’t you feel that it will be even more disgraceful if I stated it? It will seem like I stated on purpose just to survive.”
“But, you can still survive then.”
Jiang Moliang spoke excitedly, “Did you take Mu Qitian for a benevolent person? If he has an opportunity, he will surely take your life. Fang Wentian is now supporting him, and he also wants to deliver a blow to Jiang Zhe in another way.”
“Well?” Jiang Chen was surprised slightly by Fang Wentian’s motive.
“Jiang Zhe and Fang Wentian are both at the peak of Celestial Venerable Realm, and there is only a slight disparity between them, and such a disparity was extremely important. It’s their mental state.”
“If you die, Jiang Zhe will worry whether he will be affected, so how can he manage to face Fang Wentian in even grounds while in such a state?”
Jiang Moliang said, “You are still just a Spiritual Venerable, and can’t be considered even a chess piece, and you are just a sacrificial victim.”
