Chapter 346
Chapter 346 – Fame Spreads throughout the Eastern Continent
Buzz…
Buzzing sounds could be heard from the two Perfect-Ranked Combat Weapons. The cold killing intent leaking out from the two caused shivers to run down the spectators’ spines. Jiang Chen and Wu Cong stood face to face, and as the crowd held their breaths in anticipation, they knew; the final moment was here, the moment where only one man would remain standing.
“Can you guys guess who the winner will be?”
“I think Wu Cong will win. He is after all an elite Mid Combat Soul genius, as well as a prince from the Martial Saint Dynasty, and the son of the Tenth Emperor. All of these things make him an extraordinary warrior with amazing skills. Although Jiang Chen is a monstrous warrior with insane abilities, he is still only at the Divine Core realm; there is still a gap between their cultivation.”
“I don’t think so, I think Jiang Chen will win the fight. You guys clearly saw that they were both fighting a battle where none of them were able to get any advantages, but the sword Jiang Chen is using is clearly stronger than the halberd used by Wu Cong. At this final moment, I don’t see how Wu Cong is going to defeat Jiang Chen.”
…………
Many people started whispering amongst each other. Some thought that the gap between the Divine Core realm and the Combat Soul realm was difficult to overlook, and although Jiang Chen’s combat strength was formidable, it didn’t mean he would be a match for Wu Cong.
Jiang Chen held the sword in front of his chest, looking at Wu Lang with a frown on his face. Wu Cong had repeatedly tried to kill him, and if Jiang Chen didn’t eliminate him right here, this prince would definitely become a huge future threat.
“Brother Jiang, listen to me, you can’t kill Wu Cong! His status is not normal, and he represents the Martial Saint Dynasty here. If you kill him, you’ll become an enemy of the entire Martial Saint Dynasty, trust me! Don’t be impulsive, Brother Jiang.”
Wu Lang said to Jiang Chen through his Divine Sense.
Jiang Chen didn’t say a word, but the sword in his hand slowly lowered down. Wu Lang had made his point, it was a fact that Jiang Chen couldn’t kill Wu Cong right now. He was after all not alone; he had his friends and family, brothers and sect behind him. With Jiang Chen’s current strength, he was far from able to fight the Martial Saint Dynasty, and if he truly killed Wu Cong out of impulse, not only would he not be able to stay in the Eastern Continent any longer, he would also drag all his loved ones into trouble.
It wasn’t hard to tell that Wu Lang and Wu Cong’s relationship was bad. While it seemed like Wu Lang had stepped in to defend Wu Cong, he was in fact protecting Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen could easily see this.
“Haha, I knew it! You don’t have the guts to kill me!”
Seeing Jiang Chen’s hesitative look, Wu Cong once again started laughing.
“Shut your filthy mouth!”
Wu Lang responded with a loud shout. Even the people in the crowd thought Wu Cong was a dumbass! Up until now, he still had no clue who Jiang Chen was? Jiang Chen was a maniac, and he was currently hesitating on whether or not he should kill Wu Cong. However, not only did Wu Cong not shut up, he added oil to the fire! If Jiang Chen was pushed too hard, he might just kill Wu Cong without considering the consequences.
“Wu Cong, Brother Jiang has spared your life, now hurry up and get the hell out of here!”
After saying that, Wu Lang simply grabbed Wu Cong’s shoulder, then he leapt up into the air and started flying far into the distance.
“Brother Jiang, once you’ve settled your matters, come to the Martial Palace and look for me.”
Wu Lang said to Jiang Chen through his Divine Sense.
Jiang Chen sighed, then he gave up the thought of killing Wu Cong, and slowly put away the Heavenly Saint Sword. Putting aside everything else, he did have to give Wu Lang some face, and the reason why Wu Lang asked him to find him in the Martial Palace was for Jiang Chen’s own good.
He had completely offended the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan, so not long after this, he would have to face the devastating wrath of these two superpowers. Only entering the Martial Palace could ensure his safety.
This was also the reason why Wu Lang didn’t let him kill Wu Cong. By hurting Wu Cong, the Martial Saint Dynasty mighty become angry, but with Wu Jiu’s status, he was still able to defend Jiang Chen. However, if Wu Cong was killed by him, even Wu Jiu wouldn’t be able to help him anymore.
Therefore, although Jiang Chen was unwilling to let Wu Cong off the hook, he was forced to do so.
Bang!
On the other side, the trio were still delaying Shangguan Yilong. With a leap, Jiang Chen arrived in front of Shangguan Yilong.
“Jiang Chen… you… please don’t kill me!”
Facing Jiang Chen, Shangguan Yilong could only feel his throat drying up, and his heart palpating like crazy. Not once in his life had he been so frightened before. He had seen the fight between Jiang Chen and Wu Cong; even Wu Cong was no match for him, and almost got killed, let alone Shangguan Yilong who was much weaker than Wu Cong.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Chen coldly harrumphed. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and unleashed the True Dragon Palm, capturing Shangguan Yilong with the huge blood red dragon claw.
“I have already killed so many from the Shangguan Clan, do you really think I’ll let you go?”
With an indifferent expression, Jiang Chen made the dragon claw squeeze with tremendous force. In an instant, Shangguan Yilong let out a miserable shriek and exploded into a blood mist, dying in a miserable way.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand at Han Yan and the group. After that, they just flew into the distance, disappearing from the crowd’s sight.
After today’s battle, Jiang Chen’s famous name would definitely shine throughout the entire Eastern Continent.
