Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 267: Battling the Earth Spirit Realm
Chapter 267: Battling the Earth Spirit Realm
Jiang Chen naturally fully took in their unconcealed looks of greed.
āSince these two idiots really want to die, then Iāll fulfill their wishes. Who cares about how great their backers are and if the consequences come crashing down on me afterwards!ā
Jiang Chen had also hardened his heart. These people had provoked him time and time again. No matter how even tempered Jiang Chen was, there was still a limit to his temper!
The border incident had been due to the Precious Tree Sect and the Northern Palace becoming greedy and wanted to rob him of his Goldwing Swordbirds. Now it was a matter of the guilty party filing the suit first!
Iron Dazhi made a grasping motion with his hands and a halberd appeared in his hands.
The halbert was jet black, with only the edge honed to a harrowing white. One glance at the spirit power embodied within the halberd and the patterns etched on it was enough to know that it had undergone many forgings.
Jiang Chenās Da Yu bow was a four times refined spirit weapon.
He detected from this halberd a spirit aura that wasnāt inferior to the Da Yu bow at all. In fact, it was even slightly superior.
āThis halberd is at least a four times refined spirit weapon, if not even more.ā Jiang Chen concluded.
The aura between the halberd and Iron Dazhi was united together as a spirit aura field formed around him. With the effect of the spirit aura field in the empty air around it, piercing sounds rang out continuously as a result of friction.
A strong aura whirlpool continued to form.
Iron Dazhi waved his halberd, the white edge drawing a harrowing curve in the air and giving rise to snowflakes of spirit aura in the air.
āLaw enforcement disciples, hear my order. Youāre in charge of the spirit creatures. Remember, take them alive if you can. Zhou Yi, youāre in charge of capturing Tian Shao and that woman. If you meet any resistance, kill them without hesitation!ā
Iron Dazhi pointed his halberd forward as his aura locked onto Jiang Chen.
The halberd roiled up an air current like an electric snake, hurtling it forward.
Jiang Chen snorted angrily as his arms shook and the nameless saber behind his back flew out of its sheath like an ancient beast breaking free of its cage, whistling in a long howl.
This howl was like a tide of wolves, churning formlessly towards Iron Dazhiās aggressive air current.
When the two formless powers crashed into each other, the nameless saber froze briefly in mid air.
In that instant, the entire blade seemed to have awakened as eye piercing splendor emanated from it, rippling out with radiant brilliance.
In the span of that moment, the nameless saber was like a slumbering ancient deity that had been roused from deep sleep, its strength increasing more than tenfold.
The light from that brilliance actually made Iron Dazhiās halberd whine lowly.
This circumstance seemed to be a hungry wolf running into a male lion that was more than ten times stronger than it, making it lower its head and whine in both fear and submission.
Even Jiang Chen hadnāt anticipated this scene, not to mention Iron Dazhi.
āHow is this possible?!ā Iron Dazhi saw that the aura from Jiang Chenās blade had suddenly exploded and even overcome his most prized Black Dragon Halberd!
One had to know that his Black Dragon Halberd had been refined five times by a master refiner.
In terms of weapon quality, Iron Dazhiās Black Dragon Halberd would help him rank at least within the top five of the young geniuses in the sect.
All of this was naturally because he had a good grandfather.
As the first of the esteemed elders, Iron Long was an existence that was second to only the sect head, if one set the old forefather of the sect aside.
It was a natural thing to him to garner some advantages for his grandson.
Zhou Yi was also greatly astonished to see this happen.
āSenior brother Da Zhi, this kidās blade is a bit strange!ā
Iron Dazhi smiled coldly, āIt is indeed a peerless divine weapon. However, to possess a divine weapon with insufficient strength is a crime in itselfā
āJiang Chen, it is your honor from your past life to be able to be slain by my Black Dragon Halberd.ā
Iron Dazhiās tone was icy as his body suddenly leapt into the air, the spirit aura that heād spent a long time gathering started ravaging mercilessly with the force of mountain torrents as his body moved.
In that moment, furious waves and eddies raged in the air above the Jiang manor.
āBlack Dragon Tearing the Heavens! Jiang Chen, die!ā
Jiang Chen had the feeling of enormous waves reaching for the skies and a mountain crushing him as Iron Dazhi unleashed a blow that he had spent a while nurturing, accompanied by the strength from the ferocious halberd.
āYoung master Chen, be careful!ā
Tian Shao also sucked in a breath as he saw this frightening aura from his position near the door.
If it hadnāt been for Zhou Yiās death lock on him, he wouldāve cast all concerns aside and rushed to Jiang Chenās aid.
However, he also knew that even without Zhou Yi, he would be sent flying by the power from this halberd.
The halberd swung again as the fierce spirit power was twisted and sent crashing towards Jiang Chen.
The look in Jiang Chenās eyes was electrifying as his heart was as calm as water, entering a state in which he was impervious to desires and passion.
He grasped the nameless saber as a frightening gleam shot out of his eyes and the power within his spirit ocean completely infused the nameless saber.
Rise!
The fourth form of the Vast Ocean Current Splitter ā Soaring Dragon!
The man was as if a dragon, and the blade a tiger!
This strike that was as if a soaring dragon and pouncing dragon roiled up a long line of light from the blade as it cut through the air like a comet dragging a long tail behind it.
Clang!
The treasure of a blade and the halberd collided into each other as if they were fated rivals.
Sparks flew in all directions as rings of spirit power rippled and shot out in all directions.
Jiang Chenās body backed up a few steps beneath the momentum of this force and was caught neatly by the Goldwing Swordbird beneath him. His feet flexed as he pushed off the Swordbird, leveraging its strength.
He took in a deep breath and sent his strength into the blade again, speaking heroically, āAn earth spirit realm practitioner is just that huh? Iron Dazhi, eat this!ā
The awakened nameless blade was filled with a solemn killing intent like it was a starved ancient monster choosing its meal.
Jiang Chen was sensing precisely this enormous killing intent. His entire being had melded into the bladeās intention and had become one with it.
In this marvelous moment, Jiang Chen could even feel the bladeās breath. A breath that seemed to indicate it was alive and had emotions.
They were breathing with one lung and beating with the same heart.
The bladeās killing intent was Jiang Chenās, and Jiang Chenās killing intent was the bladeās.
In this wondrous instant, the two were one and couldnāt be differentiated from the other.
Jiang Chen had miraculously grasped the unbelievable realm of man and blade becoming one.
The bladeās momentum was like a wave, resplendent beyond imagination!
Light from the blade flashed like lightning, whoosh whoosh whoosh whooshā¦.
Jiang Chen had struck eighteen times in the span of one breath. Each stroke followed the previous one without pause, orderly in their pace.
The eighteen times melded into one strike with a perfect rhythm.
āWave Slash, cleave!ā
Jiang Chen roared and sent this perfect slash down towards Iron Dazhiās head.
Iron Dazhi hadnāt thought that Jiang Chen would be able to take his premeditated blow.
He was an earth spirit realm practitioner. The strength of fifth level spirit realm and his Black Dragon Halberd ā heād wanted to crush Jiang Chen with absolute power.
Heād thought that Jiang Chen would be powerless in the face of the halberdās aura. If he met it head on, he wouldāve surely had his bones breaking, meridians snapping, and even be invaded by spirit power where he stood and exploded spontaneously!
If he didnāt meet the blow head on, the mysteries of the āBlack Dragon Tearing the Heavensā was such that it was like a black dragon devouring all in sight, never resting until it had torn the opponent to shreds.
Heād never thought that the strike in which he was extremely proud of would be dissipated by Jiang Chen!
According to the intelligence related to him, he was at most first or second level spirit realm.
With Iron Dazhiās strength of the fifth level spirit realm, there was a full three or four levels of difference. That was a full category difference that no martial techniqueās mysteries would be able to offset.
However, Iron Dazhi had miscalculated.
The most maddening thing was, he didnāt even have time to get enraged. Jiang Chen didnāt even need to adjust his breathing as he counterattacked with a flip of his hand.
The bladeās aura churned like a wave, utterly exquisite in its style and fierce in its presence, holding the bearing of a master of a blades.
Although this kind of layered wave attack wasnāt something that Jiang Chen had invented, it was definitely the first time that Iron Dazhi was seeing it.
Even he didnāt dare underestimate this aura.
It looked like it was just slicing through the air, but if he didnāt handle it well, it was likely that even an earth spirit realm genius like him would fall to this blow.
In his dejection, he waved his halberd again to meet this tyrannical blow.
Clang!
The two weapons once again clashed together.
Iron Dazhi felt his chest grow heavy as he backed up uncontrollably, like a great wave had rammed into him.
Jiang Chen had no strength to strike out again after delivering that blow.
Iron Dazhi suddenly felt his brow grow hot and discovered traces of blood flowing down his hand when he wiped away at his forehead.
What?
His face changed drastically.
Heād blocked this blow alright, but when the frightening aura spread out, its traces had still been enough to injure him.
Although it was just a small wound, the sight of his hand specked with blood was telling him unequivocally that he was the weaker one!
Heād also underestimated his opponent. He hadnāt thought that Jiang Chen, at the third level spirit realm, would be capable of boasting superior martial techniques, mental arts, and spirit ocean even when he was two levels below Iron Dazhi.
Jiang Chenās strength would actually not lose out to a fourth level spirit realm practitioner at this point.
Add to that he had entered a marvelous mental state of the dao of blade, becoming one with the nameless blade.
Although he had brought to bear only less than a tenth of the nameless bladeās potential, it was enough to treble the force behind Jiang Chenās blow.
This made his strike completely on par with that of a fifth spirit realm practitioner.
Iron Dazhi was a bit caught off guard in his surprise, causing him to still be swept up in his remnants as he hadnāt fully dissipated the aura behind this blow.
āJiang Chen you animal, you did indeed hide your strength. Good, very good! It looks like you wonāt know your place in life if I donāt bring out my true abilities!ā
Iron Dazhi had been utterly enraged by Jiang Chenās provocation.
