Chapter 72
Chapter 72 – Enemies Often Cross Each Other’s Path
A Mid Mortal Core Demon’s Soul was still very useful for Jiang Chen. The Dragon Transformation skill could absorb it immediately. This Demon’s Soul could at least help Jiang Chen form another two Dragon Marks.
When Jiang Chen broke through to the Early Mortal Core realm, he formed 15 Dragon Marks. According to his calculations, in order to break through to the Mid Mortal Core realm, he needed twice as many Dragon Marks – in other words, 30. And if he wanted to break through to the Late Mortal Core realm, he would need at least 60 Dragon Marks.
When Jiang Chen had successfully formed ten thousand Dragon Marks, he would be able to transform into a dragon. However, he was still far away from reaching that goal. Besides, each Dragon Mark required a tremendous amount of energy. Jiang Chen chose this path knowing that he would require a tremendous amount of energy. With that being said, the amount of energy he would need was the same as the energy needed by more than a thousand genii combined.
Jiang Chen swallowed the Revolving Golden Lion’s Demon’s Soul straight away. With the help of the Dragon Transformation skill, it only took him a few minutes to completely absorb it. Now there were two more Dragon Marks in his Qi Sea, and they were circulating around his Mortal Core. 17 Dragon Marks were there like loyal guardians.
With every new Dragon Mark formed, Jiang Chen’s combat strength increased.
During the next three days, the trio stayed near the center of the mountain. Along their way, they met quite a number of powerful demon beasts. They even met a large pack of wolves at one point. Luckily the three of them were all powerful, and they managed to kill all of the demon beasts who blocked their way.
When the group finally left the center of Origin Mountain, Jiang Chen had managed to form two more Dragon Marks.
“Fuck, how come this dog is still alive?! And where’s junior brother Chen Shuang and the rest?”
“Enough talking, let’s kill him!”
When the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples saw the big yellow dog, they started looking at it like it was the man who had killed their parents. They immediately became enraged and unleashed their Yuan energy. Two of them even drew their weapons, and by the way they behaved, it looked like they weren’t going to give up until Big Yellow was dead.
Jiang Chen wanted to start crying. He was incredibly angry right now. But once he thought about what Big Yellow had done, if he was in their position, he would want to cook the dog alive as well.
Among the four men in front of them, two of them were at the Early Mortal Core realm, one was a warrior at the Mid Mortal Core realm, and a man in his twenties was at the Late Mortal Core realm. To reach such a high level at his age, even amongst all the outer disciples, he would surely be top tier.
“So you guys from the Heavenly Sword Sect just won’t give up. Do you believe your father won’t bite you all to death?”
Big Yellow started emitting smoke out of his nose and started threatening them.
“Hmph! Damn dog, your sins won’t be forgiven! Tell us, before you die, where is junior brother Chen Shuang?”
That Late Mortal Core warrior asked coldly.
Jiang Chen now understood. The reason why these four men came to Origin Mountain was not only to pursue Big Yellow, they were also looking for Chen Shuang and the other two.
Thinking about this, Jiang Chen’s gaze turned cold, and faint killing intent unleashed from his body. He was not going to allow these four men to pass through Origin Mountain and enter Red city. If they did, everything that happened in Red city would be exposed.
“Those three useless scumbags dared to pursue your father, so your father had to eat them all!”
Big Yellow said with an arrogant tone.
“What?! Looks like it’s true that senior brother Chen Shuang and the others were killed… Senior brother Liang Dong, please kill this damn dog and avenge senior brother Chen Shuang!”
One of the men immediately became enraged.
The Late Mortal Core warrior’s name was Liang Dong. When he heard what Big Yellow said, his killing intent immediately exploded out. He turned his gaze over to Jiang Chen and Yan Chen Yu, but his eyes immediately landed on Yan Chen Yu.
When he saw Yan Chen Yu, Liang Dong’s eyes immediately started glowing brightly. It was as if he had seen a beautiful horizon appear in front of his eyes. He was startled. Such a beautiful girl, she shouldn’t exist in this world.
“If you continue staring at her, I can promise you that you will not be able to see anything else for the rest of your life!”
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows and spoke coldly. No one was allowed to profane Yan Chen Yu, even if they were just staring at her.
