Chapter 426 - A Crushing Defeat
Green Ghost, ranked thirty-first on List A of the Dragon Rise List, was in Cloud Eight of the Reaching Heaven State.
This was his fighting power as it was known to the world. However, everyone knew people who could make it into the top fifty couldn’t simply be evaluated by their state.
Jiang Chen had narrowed their state gap down to two clouds. According to past experiences, he had a good chance of winning, but somehow, when Green Ghost looked over, the enhancement in state didn’t make Jiang Chen feel more confident.
He even got goosebumps when they were close enough.
Green Ghost seized the chance that he had been waiting for in the past days and launched an attack first. His hands were still making gestures rapidly.
In this process, the silver sand around him floated up and a strong magnetic field took shape around him.
“Thousand Hand Gesture!”
He really does have balls.
Green Ghost wanted to pull him out of there, but he didn’t dare.
He was wondering whether Jiang Chen knew where he was.
“Why did you stop chasing me?”
While he was hesitating, Jiang Chen’s voice came from inside. “Didn’t you just tell me that no one you wanted to kill could stay alive?”
Green Ghost burst into laughter due to his extreme anger. He said, “Do you know that you could be smashed to death in there?”
“I know. But take it easy. It won’t happen.” He sounded pretty sure of himself.
“I’ll wait here. You’ve been severely wounded. Let’s see what you can do,” said Green Ghost.
What Green Ghost had said caused Jiang Chen to fret, since he had seen how persistent this guy could be.
“What?”
A golden air current suddenly surged into the clouds on the beach behind them.
It was very far away, so the light column looked pretty slim, but if distance was taken into account, it must have been a great disturbance.
“It must be a priceless treasure. We can even see it from so far away.”
Jiang Chen had noticed it, too. He said, “It’s a pity that someone doesn’t have the luck to take it, since he can do nothing but stay here watching me.”
“Don’t try to play tricks on me. I won’t let you go. I can kill you whenever I want.” Green Ghost wasn’t affected, but he looked back several times in less than a minute.
“So it’s a great disturbance. Could it be more valuable than magic weapons? Maybe it’s panaceas that could help you become a Venerable or a hill of fire dragon crystals? What do you think?” Jiang Chen said slowly.
“Damn it.” Green Ghost couldn’t sit still anymore. He gave Jiang Chen an angry stare and said, “Even if you survive now, I’ll kill you one day in the end.”
Then he hurried to fly towards the light column.
Jiang Chen was relieved. He felt so lucky. That guy would have stayed there forever if there hadn’t been any priceless treasure.
The crisis had been resolved. However, the heavy injuries he had suffered brought him pain.
I should have escaped.
It was the first time that Jiang Chen had suffered such a loss, and he finally understood the saying “after joy comes sadness.” He also realized he had severely underestimated the top fifty of List A of the Dragon Rise List.
