Chapter 1642 - Take My Next Strike
“Where’s our enemy?” The two Venerable Sovereigns who’d come from the Barbarians and the Wizard Monsters to aid the Jet Black Snakes evaluated the situation.
They started by looking for someone with a Venerable Sovereign’s energy.
Any rival who’d gained the upper hand against Mo Kuang couldn’t possibly be below the Venerable Sovereign state.
But they couldn’t find a Venerable Sovereign.
Instead, all they could see was an unimposing teenaged boy.
“Seriously, you can’t tell us that he was the one who caused all of these problems for you?”
Beefy and gigantic, the Venerable Sovereign from the Barbarians exhibited many of the obvious traits of his race in his appearance. Wearing only a leather armor on his upper body to protect his vital organs, all his knotted muscles showed off his explosive power.
“The Volition of Windstorm! A Strike of Fast Thunders and Arc Lights!
“The Three Movements of First Jhana Beneath the Bodhi!”
Multitasking, Jiang Chen held his two swords with both hands. Thunder and fires were roaring.
Tens of thousands of blue lightnings were discharged as the swords moved.
Stunned, Gu Tong and Mang Shan were pushed back by the terrifying sword blades.
Yet, this wasn’t the most remarkable move. The sacred flame created by the Red Cloud Sword was much more marvelous than it had been before. The Red Cloud Sword had missed its master.
Jiang Chen had achieved enlightenment and comprehension from the Buddhist scriptures after the Sacred Seal and created the so-called Three Movements of First Jhana.
The sacred flame was releasing magnificent power, almost like the blazing sun.
The eight-headed snake monster was quickly engulfed by fire. Struggling for its life, the snake wasn’t able to attack Jiang Chen at all.
Soon after, the eight-headed snake transformed back to Mo Kuang who had been extremely battered in the inferno.
“Stabbing Method of Void!”
“Metal thunder crashing!”
Without leaving Mo Kuang a chance to catch his breath, Jiang Chen made a deadly move on him.
“No! Stop him!!”
Gu Tong and Mang Shan, initially skeptical about Jiang Che’s abilities, were now in dismay.
If Mo Kuang died, their plan to counterbalance the Heavenly Palace would be dead in the water.
Nevertheless, not many people could repel the Great Method of Void.
Combined with a sword attack that could crack any defense methods, the two Venerable Sovereigns could only stand by and watch.
WHOOSH!
Before figuring out what was about to happen to him, Mo Kuang’s body froze.
“Why, why?”
Lowering his head, Mo Kuang couldn’t believe that his heart had been pierced by the Heaven-Punishing Sword.
His Protective Dipper Energy and undergarment armors weren’t effective at all under the sword attack.
One step too late, Mang Shan howled with anger, his blood boiling.
Gu Tong’s face turned grim.
“God!”
The onlookers were electrified. What they had seen was absolutely beyond belief.
They would never have dreamed that Jiang Chen would be so mighty with his swords.
Killing a Venerable Sovereign was as easy for him as chopping vegetables.
“It is him! He is the Supreme Venerable!”
Empress Ling Long and the other people cried with joy. They’d all recognized the Heaven-Punishing Sword.
“The Supreme Venerable has really lived up to his reputation. What an amazing stunt after three years of silence.”
“Ha, ha, ha, weren’t you worried just now that the Supreme Venerable might not prevail?”
“Who…who would say that kind of thing? Don’t spread rumors.”
The for-so-long dispirited disciples of the Heavenly Palace now could finally hold their heads high.
Once Mo Kuang was dead, the danger that the Jet Black Snakes posed to the Heavenly Palace no longer existed.
“You’re Jiang Chen!”
All of a sudden, Gu Tong recognized Jiang Chen as well.
His words created an enormous racket.
In this place, there wasn’t anyone who didn’t know about Jiang Chen, especially in a place where the conflict concerned the Heavenly Palace.
“It is really him. I can vaguely recognize his face even though he looks much younger.”
“Those two swords can’t be wrong. One is thunder, the other is flame.”
“The Heavenly Palace is finally going to be able to take off now.”
Everyone knew what it meant to have a leader who could slaughter a Venerable Sovereign that easily.
“Jiang Chen, we’ll call a truce. Peace is the most valuable asset we have,” Gu Tong shouted hurriedly.
“Of course, as long as you can take my next strike. How about that?”
Jiang Chen smiled and continued, “If you can, all the scores for the past few years will be settled. If you can’t, you’ll all be wiped off the map.”
Jiang Chen’s offer made Gu Tong and Mang Shan hesitate.
They were thinking about Mo Kuang’s fate.
