The Brilliant Fighting Master

The lightning energy contained within the Immeasurable Ruler was consumed thoroughly by the strike, and it couldn’t keep its armor shape.

Jiang Chen was so scared by this that he started sweating. He had just taken a stroll near death’s door. Yet he still didn’t know what had attacked him.

“Those are ancient ruins that were cleared up. So weren’t they formerly a forbidden region for living beings?”

Jiang Chen planned to leave and wanted to forcefully call to Xiao Ying.

But Xiao Ying didn’t listen to him, and it almost seemed as if he couldn’t control himself. He just continued running ahead.

Regardless whether in this life or in his previous life, this was Jiang Chen’s first time seeing Xiao Ying in such a state.

“Why has let Xiao Ying become so excited?”

When Jiang Chen turned his head to take a look, he discovered that those damned creatures were closing in on the ravine’s center.

Since the Lightning Essence was being absorbed by Jiang Chen, it didn’t have the ability to deter the creatures anymore.

As Jiang Chen observed how slow the process was, he got slightly anxious, and it was then that he saw Xiao Ying charging at those creatures.

“Come back!”

Jiang Chen was enormously scared, and he was about to give up even on the Lightning Essence.

But who would have imagined that while Xiao Ying was running around, innumerable lightning clouds appeared in the sky, and they all shone with a silver light. Many lightning bolts fell down and struck the whole ravine.

Xiao Ying jumped into the air and his body that was formed by lightning energy became more bright.

The creatures outside were repelled temporarily.

Jiang Chen clenched his teeth. He wanted to quickly finish absorbing the Lightning Essence, before flying away along with Xiao Ying.

Jiang Chen flew into the air, and he cast a glance at the surroundings. He ended up inadvertently catching a glimpse of those creatures.

Jiang Chen curled his lips, while a shocked look appeared on his face. He found this matter unbelievable!

Those were all living beings with a human shape. No, Jiang Chen still didn’t know whether they could be considered living beings. They were like three-dimensional shadows, and their whole bodies were pitch-black and alternating between an illusory and tangible state, while their facial features were indistinct.

At first, Jiang Chen assumed that they were beasts or other creatures, and he didn’t imagine at all what they were.

“Mutant Ghosts!”

They were creatures formed by the resentments of dead people, and once they got in contact with worldly energies, they would turn into creatures with a certain offensive power.

However, those were all matters that Jiang Chen had read about in books, and he never knew whether they truly existed or were just fiction. But he ended up seeing them on this day in those ancient ruins.

Jiang Chen finally understood why the word ancient was added to the name of the ruins.

“This means that my Tathagata Buddhist Robe possesses a certain restrictive effect against them.”

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen thought of a certain matter, and he was eager to give it a try. But after he pondered it, he decided not to take such an impulsive action. He just took Xiao Ying with him and left.

The Lightning Essence was completely absorbed into his body, and it would affect his body quietly and flow into the depths of his body.

However, if Jiang Chen absorbed it forcefully, he would manage to advance into the Martial Emperor Realm’s intermediate stage.

“Wait for a moment, I may be able to take advantage of such a chance to reach the Lightning Rule’s Bright Realm.”

Jiang Chen suddenly got a daring idea.

The Four Realms represented one’s control over worldly energies, and Jiang Chen had only managed to grasp the Lightning Rule due to Xiao Ying’s appearance, and it would be impossible for him to let the Lightning Rule make any more progress.

But Jiang Chen still clearly knew what kind of a person he was, and once he got an idea, it wouldn’t matter what opinion he had of himself, as he would still give it try.

As for the single month’s time restriction? It wouldn’t affect Jiang Chen greatly.

“Come here!”

Jiang Chen summoned a magical clone. He planned to let it travel instead of him.

What was worth mentioning was that the magical clone wouldn’t get the Lightning Essence that wasn’t refined and absorbed by him yet.

Jiang Chen’s main body looked for a suitable place and started his attempts.

This was precisely the reason why Jiang Chen hadn’t left the two magical clones to train in the Heavenly Palace.
