The Brilliant Fighting Master

“Princess,” said a junior captain beside the woman in a tone that asked for instructions.

In the castle, fatal weapons had been aimed at Jiang Chen, who was in the air, waiting for the order to kill him.

“Take him alive,” the woman said.

The junior captain didn’t hesitate. He would follow all of her orders, no matter what they were.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was alone, the junior captain flew into the air with a knife in hand.

Like the Commander of Holy Wind, he was in the middle stage of Martial Venerable, but he wasn’t as strong as the commander.

Assuming he could defeat Jiang Chen easily, the junior captain struck down with his knife towards the latter.

The energy of optical waves was shapeless. There was only lasting noise.

The demons who were exposed to the waves vanished instantly since they had no way to fight back. As long as they came in contact with the waves, they were doomed to die.

Jiang Chen hurried to stop. He didn’t dare advance recklessly.

That’s how great a Spiritual Venerable is? he thought to himself.

There was a preliminary stage, middle stage, and late stage each for Martial Venerables, Spiritual Venerables, and Celestial Venerables.

So there were nine levels in all, just like the Reaching Heaven State, which was also classified into nine levels, from Cloud One to Cloud Nine.

However, the creators of the state system had taken great pains to divide it like this, although it was difficult to memorize, because the three kinds of Venerables were so different that they had to be treated as so.

In short, Martial Venerable and Spiritual Venerable could be compared to the Mental Wander State and the Reaching Heaven State.

Although there were only three stages—the preliminary stage, the middle stage and the late stage—between them, it wouldn’t be easy for practitioners to go through all of them.

Jiang Chen even found the martial arts techniques contained in the general’s attack obscure to name, let alone to fight against.

However, he dashed towards the general all the same after the optical waves had been shot out.

“Jiang Chen, no!” Qiu Yan shouted anxiously.

“What a fool,” the woman with long legs said, a cold smile on her face.

The general put his hands down. Grasping the sword handle with his right hand, he drew the sword out at a moderate speed.

As a Spiritual Venerable, his sword attack would be much more dreadful than his last attack.

“Sword formation, on!”

However, Jiang Chen suddenly shouted before he landed.

People saw human beings hiding behind the demons. They were Tang Zhengyi and the other soldiers.

After joining Jiang Chen, they had started to deploy the formation as per Jiang Chen’s instructions.

As soon as the sword formation was on, a giant sword that measured dozens of feet struck down.

Qiu Yan and the others noticed the general stopped drawing out his sword for a second.

A voice as cold as metal came from behind the metal mask.

“Princess, go back into the castle.”

The woman nodded instead of arrogantly insisting to stay.

Then the general drew his sword out and dashed towards Jiang Chen, intending to crack the sword formation alone.

“Eight groups of spiritual beings, on!”

To his surprise, Jiang Chen had even more trump cards.

Azure Demon, the black dragon, and Asura flew out of the sword formation, charging forward.

“This is bad,” the general of the guards troops couldn’t help but exclaim.

The energy fluctuation generated by the crash of the two parties nearly destroyed the castle. The iron cages, partly buried underground, were distorted and out of shape so that those kept inside could run out.

The long-legged woman couldn’t help but look back though she hadn’t walked too far, wondering how things would end up.

To her surprise, she saw Jiang Chen’s pretty but serious face as soon as she turned.

“Lady, please cooperate with me.” Jiang Chen smiled politely. At the same time, the Red Cloud Sword had been pressed against her throat.

“All of you, freeze!”
