Chapter 2724 - The Six Kings
Chapter 2724: The Six Kings
“The Swift Wind King, the Sword Wielding King, the Dark Shadow King, the Heavenly Fist King and the Earth Quaking King have all been kings for a longer time than the Proud Ice King. They’re stronger than the Proud Ice King as well. We’re utilising six kings just to deal with an outsider mid Godking. Isn’t that going a little overboard?” the vice leader Xue Sha said.
“We can’t afford to underestimate any outsider who can challenge people at higher cultivation levels, because most of these people probably have received extraordinary legacies, so they possess various, strange secret techniques. Killing people like that won’t be easy.” Bai Jin stared at Jian Chen as he fought against the Proud Ice King and continued, “The Proud Ice King might have the upper hand, but it’s almost impossible to kill this outsider. This is why we need multiple people.”
“So what if it’s overkill? As long we can kill this outsider, it doesn’t matter even if we mobilise all one hundred and eight kings, let alone just six.” Bai Jin seemed calm, but he treated Jian Chen like he had to die today.
The Darkstar race might have been a little more tolerant if Jian Chen was just an ordinary mid Godking, but he was just too powerful. The Darkstar race could not allow such an impossibly strong outsider move about freely in their own world.
As soon as Bai Jin issued his order, five powerful presences surged out within the Darknight City. The Swift Wind King, the Sword Wielding King, the Dark Shadow King, the Heavenly Fist King and the Earth Quaking King appeared. Together with the Proud Ice King, the six of them poured their strength together in an attempt to kill Jian Chen.
“Why have you come? It’s more than enough for me to kill this person alone. Why must you take part too?” The Proud Ice King’s expression changed with the appearance of the five other kings, which made him furious. He was unwilling to accept their help.
He knew that the outsider would have no chance at surviving once six kings fought together, but this was not what the Proud Ice King wanted. He wanted to kill this outsider who had embarrassed him before the entire city with his own hands.
“Hehe, Proud Ice King, don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you really could kill him, he would have died at the city gates already. Why would he still be alive right now?”
One of the five reinforcing kings produced a sneer. He was mocking the Proud Ice King.
The Proud Ice King said nothing. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes and his face became incredibly sunken.
The other kings remained silent. They each occupied a different direction as if they had read each other’s minds, forming a net around Jian Chen.
The Swift Wind King had comprehended the Laws of Wind, so he was extremely fast. Hovering in the air, fierce winds immediately began to sweep through the surroundings. He seemed to have become a part of the gales around him, constantly fluttering about swiftly. He moved around like a shadow, difficult to capture.
The Sword Wielding King carried a sword which shone with blinding light. He comprehended the Laws of the Sword. With a swing of his sword, the surroundings immediately became filled with dense slashes.
The Dark Shadow King matched his name. He seemed like a shadow, seemingly varying in tangibility, which seemed extremely strange.
The Heavenly Fist King and the Earth Quaking King were two burly men. They seemed even tougher than how Jian Chen looked right now, towering over three meters tall. They basically seemed like two small giants.
The two of them were known for their physical strength. The Heavenly Fist King had grasped the Way of the Fist. His attacks were extremely swift and vicious. Swinging both fists, he launched a storm-like barrage.
The Earth Quaking King had comprehended the Laws of Earth. Yellow light flickered on his body while he was clad with seemingly-indestructible armour condensed from the Laws of Earth.
The five of them launched vicious attacks at Jian Chen as soon as they joined the battle. Even though they also felt that it was overkill to send six kings against a mere mid Godking, they did not hold back at all when they actually began fighting.
Jian Chen immediately felt tremendously pressured against the six of them. It had already been rather difficult for him to hold his ground against just the Proud Ice King, so now that there were five additional kings, none of which were weaker than the Proud Ice King, he could not fight back at all.
“It’s already extraordinary for me to be able to hold my ground against the Proud Ice King as a mid Godking. Now that the Darkstar race has sent out another five kings, it won’t make sense for me to be able to match them. It’ll just raise suspicion,” thought Jian Chen. At the same time, the Heavenly Fist King arrived behind him and threw a punch.
With a thought, Jian Chen began to withdraw the Chaotic Force in his body, pulling all of it back into his neidan, so the defences of his Chaotic Body had been minimised.
Just as the Heavenly Fist King was about to land his punch, Jian Chen’s will from the Ultimate Way of the Sword radiated out, condensing into a strand of invisible sword Qi that stabbed viciously into his own back.
With a grunt, the Heavenly Fist King’s iron-like fist landed on Jian Chen’s back with great force.
Blood spurted from Jian Chen’s mouth and his back became a bloody mess. He was knocked away.
The Heavenly Fist King frowned. He stared at Jian Chen’s bloody back in suspicion. When he landed his punch on this outsider, he felt that something was amiss, but where? He was uncertain.
The Proud Ice King, Sword Wielding King, Dark Shadow King, Earth Quaking King and Swift Wind King did not just stand around. They all launched attacks as well, immediately creating a storm of constant booms above the Darknight City.
Most of them chose to use powerful, ranged attacks against Jian Chen from a certain distance away. Rarely would they engage in close combat.
But without any exception, they would all experience a strange sensation upon ‘heavily injuring’ him when they did engage in close combat, yet they were unable to locate why it was strange.
Under the merciless attacks of the six kings, Jian Chen’s ‘injuries’ increased. After a short moment, he became covered in blood as blood spurted out from his mouth time after time as well.
He seemed severely injured, hanging on by a single thread, in his current state, to anyone who looked at him.
Jian Chen unleashed a furious bellow. His eyes became scarlet as he seemed to lose his mind.
He fought back as hard as he could as the Laws of Strength revolved around him. Even though the power of his laws were constantly dispersed, he continued to resist with everything he had.
Through this process, the golden core in his body produced the Laws of Strength faster and faster. All of it was absorbed by Jian Chen, allowing him to comprehend the laws with great speed. His understanding of the Laws of Strength became richer and more complete as time went on.
Now, he was just a stride away from reaching late Godking with the Laws of Strength.
“To think that the outsider would actually so tough! The six kings have failed to kill him immediately even when they are working together,” Bai Jin sighed in surprise in the city lord’s estate. Afterwards, he showed a tinge of pity, “It’s just unfortunate that someone as talented as him isn’t a part of our race. Otherwise, we’d probably gain another Primordial realm expert.”
“The outsider’s strength is indeed a little too extreme. Not only does he possess great battle prowess, enough to challenge those stronger than him, but his vitality is extremely tenacious as well. He must be someone extraordinary in the outside world, but he must die today,” the vice city lord Xue Sha said.
