Chapter 2129: Hunting Down the Fifth Prince (Two)
“Countless people want to take my legacy. Countless people want to take my fortune. Unfortunately, I won’t let you succeed. I won’t let you get what you want because it belongs to me…” The fifth prince gritted his teeth as resentment filled his heart.
Then he looked at the Space Ring on his finger. The Space Ring had flown out from the forehead of the statue. It belonged to a Grand Prime of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea, so its value was evident.
However, the fifth prince was not satisfied with the Space Ring. He knew that the Space Ring was only a tiny fraction of the legacy. It could not even be considered as the legacy, and it was just the belongings of a Grand Prime.
The core and most important part could only be obtained from inside the statue.
A long while later, the fifth prince’s unstable emotions slowly calmed down. He silently endured the piercing pain from his soul as determination flooded his eyes. He thought, “I can’t leave the Neptunean Divine Palace. I must get the Grand Prime’s legacy. Moreover, I’ve already gained the recognition of the legacy, so I should be able to reenter the statue.”
At this moment, the hole in which the fifth prince hid in suddenly began to tremble. Dust and soil rained down.
The fifth prince’s face suddenly changed. Without any hesitation, he equipped a set of supreme quality saint artifact armor before stabbing up as hard as he could with a sword.
Boom!
With a rumble, a strand of sword Qi filled with destructive, violent energy descended from the surface of the ground. It punched through several dozen meters of rock and struck the hole in the ground with great accuracy, colliding with the fifth prince’s sword.
Immediately, the ground shook, and earth was thrown into the air. With the collision, the fifth prince’s hole directly collapsed. In a single moment, the hole caved in completely.
The fifth prince vomited a mouthful of blood. His face was twisted in a vicious fashion as he directly charged out of the hole.
“It’s actually you, Jian Chen.” The fifth prince stood in the air with his sword as he faced the unscathed Jian Chen. Immediately, he could not help but roar out furiously. His bloodshot eyes were filled with the flames of rage.
“Fifth prince, long time no see. How does it feel to hide underground?” Jian Chen smiled faintly as he asked calmly. He seemed like he was at ease.
However, Jian Chen’s words became a naked provocation when the fifth prince heard them. Immediately, his face twisted viciously as he shouted out, “Jian Chen, you’ve spent so much effort searching for me just because you desire my Space Ring, don’t you? Since you want it so much, I’ll give it to you.” With that, the fifth prince took off the Space Ring on his finger without any hesitation. He seemed like he was about to throw it, but he removed a talisman from the Space Ring with lightning speed instead, activating it as quickly as possible.
Although the fifth prince completely resented Jian Chen, he did not lose his rationality. He knew that even with his advantage in cultivation, he was nowhere close to being Jian Chen’s opponent. As such, he chose to flee without any hesitation at all.
Jian Chen reacted extremely quickly. There was a silver-white flash, and his sword stabbed out towards the fifth prince with lightning speed.
However, the talisman in the fifth prince’s hands was extraordinary. It was of very high quality, so the moment it was activated, the fifth prince vanished completely, causing Jian Chen’s sword to miss.
“He sure is clever. He hasn’t lost his mind to rage, but do you still think you still can escape?” Jian Chen sneered before immediately summoning Hei Ya.
The Neptunean Divine Palace was vast. Each floor was like a miniature world of its own, but with Hei Ya, no matter where the fifth prince fled to, he was unable to escape from Jian Chen.
Several hours later, Jian Chen directly made his way to the third floor from the seventh floor. Under Hei Ya’s guidance, he arrived in a swamp shrouded by poisonous mist and infested with venomous insects.
Currently, the fifth prince hid himself in a part of the swamp while keeping his presence concealed. He did not give off any pulses of energy, where he seemed like he had fused with the swamp completely. He was quietly healing his wounds through pills.
Jian Chen’s battle prowess was far greater than his. Even though Jian Chen was only an early Godking, a casual strike from him could match supreme Godkings. As a result, the fifth prince had directly become injured by the sword Qi that penetrated the ground during the clash earlier.
Moreover, his soul was wounded by the Profound Sword Qi as well, so he had to endure a heart-wrenching pain at all times.
“Just how did Jian Chen find me? I only just fled from the twelfth floor. How could he find where I was hiding in such a short time in such a large place? Moreover, where I hid was extremely well-concealed.” The fifth prince completely calmed down as a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Suddenly, the fifth prince sensed the surrounding swamp suddenly tremble. Before he could respond, Jian Chen’s figure appeared before him. He was shrouded by a blinding, protective light, pushing aside the mist in the surroundings. He stabbed out with his sword in the first moment possible.
This time, Jian Chen moved extremely quickly. As soon as he arrived in the swamp, he struck out with lightning speed, giving the fifth prince no opportunity to escape.
The fifth prince still had his supreme quality saint artifact on. However, he had concealed its pulses of energy, so it seemed ordinary.
Jian Chen’s strike directly landed on the armor. A strike as powerful as a supreme Godking’s was truly devastating. It immediately caused the armor to dim. The fifth prince coughed up blood as he was blown away.
Jian Chen’s eyes were cold, and they shone with killing intent. He pursued like a shadow, flying through the air like he was pressed against the fifth prince. With a flash, he stabbed out a second time.
The fifth prince paled in fright. He was shocked. Only now when he personally faced Jian Chen did he truly understand just how powerful Jian Chen was. He truly understood just how terrifying Jian Chen who possessed battle prowess no less than experts on the Godkings’ Throne was. He basically could not fight back at all.
“Explode!” At the critical moment, the fifth prince threw out the sword that he had used for many years and cried out. The supreme quality saint artifact lit up and exploded loudly. Powerful pulses of energy swept out, reducing the swamp to a condition that did not resemble its past self.
The fifth prince borrowed the obstruction created by the explosion of the saint artifact to take out a simple talisman as quickly as he could and fled again.
Jian Chen struck out with churning sword Qi. He cleaved the shockwaves of energy from the supreme quality saint artifact in half and looked at where the fifth prince had vanished coldly.
“Hei Ya, keep looking for me…”
