Chapter 430 - 428: Doomed to Die?
Two Human King Realm powerhouses, Fu Hai and Wang Xiao.
One from the front and one from behind, they charged toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s gaze hardened. ’Hmm? Are they changing formation? No, they’re about to use their Martial Soul Innate Divine Techniques!’
Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
Human King Realm powerhouses had undergone a third Martial Soul Awakening, and the Martial Soul Innate Divine Techniques they possessed were all extremely powerful.
Fu Shan’s earlier death had been, for one, because Jiang Chen’s own power had surged, catching him completely off guard.
And second, he had simply died too quickly!
He hadn’t had time to unleash his Martial Soul Talent; otherwise, Jiang Chen would have needed to expend more effort to kill him.
Now that Fu Hai and Wang Xiao had Fu Shan’s precedent to learn from, they certainly wouldn’t underestimate him. But Jiang Chen hadn’t expected the two of them to use their Martial Soul Innate Divine Techniques so quickly.
"Celestial Flame Sun-Devouring Slash!"
He raised his arm high, black light shimmering on his blade. A mass of fiercely burning Sword Qi, like a Blazing Sun, slashed toward Fu Hai, who was taking the brunt of the attack.
This sword strike contained the Secrets of Fire!
It possessed a scorching heat, and the Sword Qi, propelled by the Spirit-Slaying Sword, was so sharp it could slice through the flesh of a Human King Realm powerhouse!
Facing the sword strike Jiang Chen sent flying at him, Fu Hai’s lips curled into a cold sneer. "Kid, you’ve fallen for it!"
Fu Hai suddenly began to whirl the Long Spear in his hands.
The spear’s aura transformed into a vast, dark shadow.
The dark shadow formed a barrier of spear light!
It formed in front of Fu Hai, blocking the searing Sword Qi from the Celestial Flame Sun-Devouring Slash. He glanced at Wang Xiao behind him and roared, "Wang Xiao, what are you waiting for? Now!"
"On it!"
Wang Xiao replied.
His figure flashed through the air as he rushed out from behind Fu Hai. The ancient Bone Whip in his hand moved like a sentient Flood Dragon, its long body twisting as it shot toward Jiang Chen.
The whip strike was incredibly fast!
A glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes and his lips curved upward. "Star-Breaking!"
SWOOSH!
The void before him trembled, and a giant finger pulsing with golden light shot forth, seeming to emerge from the very depths of space.
It jabbed forward.
The entire void shook violently, as if this finger was pointed directly at the Azure Heaven, capable of shattering the stars in the Celestial Vault.
BANG!
A brilliant beam of light from the finger struck the long whip.
BAM...
The long whip shuddered violently, and in a flash of brilliance, it was sent flying by Jiang Chen’s finger.
However, Wang Xiao showed no surprise or panic. As Jiang Chen struck the Bone Whip away, he was already forming seals with his hands. The profound Hand Seals shifted rapidly, forming over thirty in total. The moment he finished, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body.
RUMBLE!
A colossal tree, seeming to touch the Azure Heaven, suddenly appeared behind him.
This great tree was hundreds of feet tall, with lush branches and leaves. Its verdant leaves were massive, each one the size of a small hut.
"Innate Divine Technique—Holy Tree Entwining!"
Wang Xiao roared, and a verdant green light emanated from his eyes.
RUSTLE RUSTLE...
The colossal tree behind him began to shake violently, its branches and leaves scraping against each other with a steady rustling.
Immediately after, countless verdant vines shot out from the great tree.
Each vine was covered with sharp barbs.
The dense mass of vines swarmed toward Jiang Chen. His heart sank as he instantly saw through Wang Xiao and Fu Hai’s strategy. ’Trying to restrain my movements, then go for the killing blow? I won’t let you have your way!’
"Divine Wind Celestial Fury!"
"Fish Dragon Nine Swords!"
"Star-Breaking!"
"Picking the Moon!"
"Breaking Sun..."
Sword light and finger beams appeared before Jiang Chen, forming a sharp canopy of attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Brilliant Sword Auras sliced through vine after vine.
The beams from his finger shot forth, pulverizing the vines...
However, the vines seemed endless, constantly shooting forth from the Holy Tree Martial Soul. Even after being severed, a vine would just tremble as green liquid spurted from the break, immediately followed by a new vine growing out to replace it.
Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone thousands upon thousands of vines.
SWISH!
Jiang Chen severed dozens of vines in a row, but a vine flying from another direction managed to entangle his Spirit-Slaying Sword.
The vine moved with incredible speed, spreading rapidly.
It coiled around his arm, and as if they had found an opening, the other vines swarmed upward, completely entangling Jiang Chen.
He was wrapped up like a mummy made of vines!
He was completely immobilized!
Only his pair of dark eyes darted about.
Delight appeared on Wang Xiao’s face. "He’s trapped! Fu Hai, you’re up!"
"Don’t worry, I’ve been ready for a long time!"
Fu Hai laughed, his expression utterly savage.
He held a black Long Spear. Grasping it by the tip and the butt, he brought his hands together toward the middle, his palms gently stroking the spear’s shaft.
A phantom image appeared behind Fu Hai!
It was a figure like a War God, riding a tall warhorse, clad in chillingly sharp battle armor, and holding a black Long Spear.
Holding his Long Spear, Fu Hai shot backward.
Ripples like water spread across the surface of the Martial Soul phantom. Fu Hai’s entire body merged into the phantom, and his Long Spear fused with the War God Spear in its hand.
A cold, murderous intent appeared on Fu Hai’s face. "War God’s Charge!"
NEIGH...
The warhorse neighed, its front hooves rearing up to kick the air before it transformed into a black shadow and charged. Expressionless from within the Martial Soul, Fu Hai thrust his arm forward, and the Long Spear instantly became a streak of light as it stabbed toward Jiang Chen!
RUMBLE!
Wherever the Long Spear passed, heaven and earth trembled, and the very void was torn asunder.
Void Storms gathered around the Long Spear, forming a spiraling gale of tearing wind. The spear’s target was Jiang Chen’s head!
"This is bad!"
"Young Master Jiang is in danger!"
"Quick, save him!"
Yuan Zeng and the others saw Jiang Chen’s predicament, and their expressions changed drastically.
However, the powerhouses from the Royal Family and the Ice King Race blocked their path with savage sneers, gloating, "You want to save him? Not a chance!"
"Keep your eyes peeled and watch how your so-called Young Master Jiang dies! Hahaha..."
"Why save a piece of trash who’s already dead?"
The experts from the two factions laughed, gloating.
This caused the experts of the Purple Wind Clan to despair. Facing the combined assault of Wang Xiao and Fu Hai, how could Jiang Chen possibly survive?
Almost all the experts of the Purple Wind Clan couldn’t bear to watch and turned their heads away.
Everyone was certain that Jiang Chen’s death was inevitable!
However...
Just as this ultimate attack was about to kill Jiang Chen, the pair of eyes visible through the vines revealed a chilling glint. A somewhat muffled voice slowly drifted out from within the vines: "Sword... of God-Slaughter!"
