Chapter 2668: Chapter 2671: Never Picks the Weak
"Formation..."
Wu Qiang gritted his teeth fiercely, steeled his heart, and shouted angrily.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Spiritual Seals around him quickly disappeared, seemingly forming a Formation.
"Brought it upon yourself!"
Jiang Chen said indifferently, changing his hand seal.
"Slash!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Roar! Howl!
Four beast shadows instantly pounced down, transforming into a sky-piercing giant sword.
"No! I reco..."
At that moment, Wu Qiang’s expression drastically changed, and he shouted in shock.
Buzz!
The giant sword stopped above Wu Qiang’s head, a blood mark appeared on Wu Qiang’s forehead.
"Formation complete!"
Suddenly, at the instant the giant sword stopped, Wu Qiang shouted fiercely, and all the Spiritual Seals around him disappeared.
Jiang Chen’s expression darkened abruptly, and he swung his single hand fiercely.
Swoosh!
The sound of a sharp blade entering a body echoed, and the Longsword cleaved harshly into Wu Qiang amidst his horrified look.
Swoosh!
Simultaneously, a blade light suddenly appeared above Jiang Chen’s head, quickly slashing down!
This was the attack from Wu Qiang’s Formation, launched directly after Jiang Chen spared him by completing the Formation!
"Despicable!"
"Brother Jiang Chen!"
"Bastard!"
Angry shouts echoed atop Array Peak, everyone disdained Wu Qiang’s actions.
"All’s fair in warfare, Jiang Chen believed Wu Qiang, you could say he’s too naive. If such a person leads troops into battle, he’d get them all killed; better to go to the Vanguard Army and become a death soldier!"
Mocking laughter ensued, Ming Yang’s eyes revealed a mocking look.
Clash!
A brilliance shone on the Stele, two halves of a corpse flew out, that sword was so close, the Myriad Array Chart couldn’t transfer Wu Qiang out in time.
Ming Yang’s expression darkened as he hurriedly looked at the Stele.
At that moment, no one cared about Wu Qiang’s life, instead they watched the Longsword about to strike Jiang Chen from within the Stele.
"Four Symbols Demon-Breaking Formation, Defensive Array!"
A deep shout echoed, and a defensive array suddenly appeared around Jiang Chen, a transparent shield enveloped him, four beast shadows instantly charged at the Longsword!
Bang!
A blast sound was heard, as the Longsword shattered into Formation Dao fluctuations and scattered away.
Jiang Chen’s expression was grim as he withdrew the Formation, his figure flashed, flying out of the Myriad Array Chart.
Atop the peak.
Jiang Chen flew out from the Stele, glanced at Wu Qiang on the ground, and scanned those participating in the third round of the competition with a dark expression: "I will no longer hold back, once I enter, I will directly attack with lethal moves. If you don’t want to admit defeat, then die here!"
Angry!
Jiang Chen was truly angry; Wu Qiang’s provocation didn’t anger him, but the deception just now did!
That was the closest he felt to death, clearer than when facing a suppressed Semi-Saint on the Forsaken Plains, he was just at the Divine Infant Realm Peak, suppressed in Spiritual Power and Power of the Great Dao, that knife just now had it come down, he’d be dead!
The faces of twenty-seven powerful Array Masters changed, their eyes instantly filled with seriousness.
Fighting purely with Formation Dao, no one was willing to battle to the death with a Grandmaster skilled in imprinting a thousand Spiritual Seals into Formations; at that moment everyone was very aware, Jiang Chen could absolutely gather a thousand Spiritual Seals, otherwise he couldn’t have instantaneously formed a nine hundred seal Spirit Array!
Leaving a sentence behind, Jiang Chen stepped back to the side of Hu Yiqiu and others.
"Young Jiang, everything about you is great, except for one thing. You’re too kind-hearted! With the strength and forces you currently possess, there aren’t many on the Canglan Continent who could stand against you."
Hu Yiqiu patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder, speaking softly: "The Gold-devouring Rat Clan, Thunder Beast Clan, Changling Academy, let alone anything else, just these three forces, even if only our faction within the Academy fights for you, it’s still a formidable force."
"Unless a top force like the Six Great Academies, or rather the four super forces on the continent, otherwise forces like the inner circle Twelve Sects, Six Great Families, Elixir Divine City’s Five Great Families, Zhen Yuan City’s Nether Palace, Zuo Clan, aren’t really worth considering.
Though one cannot destroy them for no reason, if they provoke again, whoever provokes, kill them; if they dare to fight, then annihilate them!"
"You’ve always said you don’t want to be restrained by too much and wish to act according to your heart, yet you are still constrained due to various reasons!"
"Young Jiang, walk your own path, don’t worry so much, a cultivator, lives his life for the path, for his own path, not someone else’s!"
The expressions of those atop the peak changed one after another, their gaze towards Jiang Chen filled with apprehension.
People from forces like Spirit Sword Sect quietly withdrew from the crowd, leaving Array Peak, fearing they’d be surrounded and killed, Jiang Chen’s force could certainly kill several of their Saints.
Jiang Chen glanced at Hu Yiqiu, nodded lightly, and fell silent.
"Brother Jiang Chen, that Wu Qiang should have been sent by Ming Yang, he just said..."
Lei Ling’er gave Jiang Chen a glance, informing him about Ming Yang.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Ming Yang, speaking calmly: "The Nether Palace should have people participating in the final tournament, right?"
Ming Yang’s face changed, asking in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"I wonder if the judges of the tournament have a chance to prevent people from dying in the tournament!"
Jiang Chen replied indifferently, no longer paying attention to Ming Yang. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Ming Yang’s expression changed, recalling Jiang Chen’s combat power, his eyes revealed a dark look.
"Alright, second battle, challenged by the twenty-sixth!"
Ming Xuanren glanced at Jiang Chen, shouting loudly, and waved his hand, Wu Qiang’s corpse flew towards the Wu Family members.
The Wu Family members hurriedly caught Wu Qiang’s corpse, glanced at Jiang Chen, and quickly left Array Peak.
The tournament continued, one Array Master after another entered the Myriad Array Chart for battle.
Soon, it was Jiang Chen’s challenge!
Yet, of the twenty-six before Jiang Chen’s challenge, except for Wu Qiang, no one else challenged Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the crowd, spoke softly: "Chen Qingxiang, battle me in the chart."
Chen Qingxiang’s face changed, and his eyes revealed a hint of anger.
He acknowledged Jiang Chen’s talent was excellent, backed by strong forces, yet Jiang Chen was merely a junior at the Divine Infant Realm Peak, while he, as a Unity Realm Stage expert, was underestimated by a Divine Infant Realm cultivator, which made him immensely angry.
The first round of the third contest wasn’t judged by strength, but by the number of victories.
Of the twenty-six still alive at this time, Su Qingluan, Wu Chengzhe, Jiang Bingyan, Zuo Lincheng, and nine others had two victories; the rest were one win and one loss or two losses, those with two losses had no hope, those with one win and one loss still had a chance to try.
At this time, only Jiang Chen had fought one battle; he could choose any weak opponent, win and secure his place in the next round.
However, Jiang Chen did not choose a weak opponent; he chose Chen Qingxiang with two victories.
If he beat Chen Qingxiang, he’d naturally enter the top ten, but if he lost, he would possibly be eliminated!
