Chapter 2680 - There Is Always Someone Better
There Is Always Someone Better
Xuanyuan Jie was one of the leading figures of the past generation, one of the kings of the Linhe Boundary. By right, Jiang Chen should be suppressed once he appeared. But shockingly, the three great Sect Lords got squashed and Jiang Chen even ignored him, how could Xuanyuan Jie not be mad?
In the past, Xuanyuan Jie was an extremely talented individual. However, he stepped down from the stage of battle due to him being infatuated in research and cultivation. Now, there’s not many people who remember this old fella as time passed by. Now, Xuanyuan Jie will tell the Linhe Boundary that he, Xuanyuan Jie, is still alive and powerful.
“Boy, your arrogance is the same as I when I was young. Pity, you don’t know when to lay-low, you need to know that there is always someone better. Today, I’ll let you know what it means to have the power of a true overlord.” Xuanyuan Jie looked down on Jiang Chen as he took a step forward with his slender figure.
The surrounding space distorted soon after, a Late Divine King was truly powerful, he’s even stronger than Zi Xi.
“Great!”Jiang Chen shouted as he flew up to the sky.
The clash between the two finally kicked off.
Xuanyuan Jie, a senior, was undoubtedly strong as he swiftly attacked Jiang Chen. The latter used the Heavenly Dragon Sword and Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique to withstand his blow, but Jiang Chen was not able to gain the initiative and was slowly pushed back.
“Strong. An average Peak Divine King may not even be this old fella’s match. Truly one of those monstrous old fossils.” Jiang Chen thought.
Their clash affected the surrounding landscape as Jiang Chen was pushed back.
“Truly, a senior expert, Old Ancestor River Styx is still as glorious as he was.”
“You’re right. To think that the Clear Stream Sect has such a powerful expert holding the fort. Truly, the top sect of the Linhe Boundary.”
“It’s a pity that the three sect lords died. A great chaos would certainly happen later on.”
“Agreed, that bastard Jiang Chen is a troublemaker, he must be killed to quell the hatred of the people.”
Everyone hated Jiang Chen, and they were hoping Xuanyuan Jie would just kill him with a slap. Yet, although Jiang Chen was showing fatigue, it doesn’t seem like he’s losing, Xuanyuan Jie was able to push him back but he wasn’t able to land a successive blow upon this hated kid.
“Such a slippery boy, hmph, let’s see how long you can run.” Xuanyuan Jie harrumphed and took a step forward, and closed in towards his foe.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen dared not to belittle his foe and used his full might to defend against this attack but the old man did not let him go. The Ghost Prison Ashura Sword Formation may be able to kill Xuanyuan Jie but he did not give Jiang Chen a single opportunity to lay down the groundwork.
“Heavenly Lightning!”
Jiang Chen kept his Heavenly Dragon Sword away and summoned the Dawn Sky Golden Lightning and Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning into both of his palms. Xuanyuan Jie’s expression instantly changed and he looked at Jiang Chen with a serious expression.
“You… You can control Heavenly Lightnings?” Xuanyuan Jie was pretty shocked. Now this… complicates things.
Xuanyuan Jie looked up and saw thunder clouds gathering above, the explosive energy of the lightning was ready to burst.
“You’re naive, thinking that two Heavenly Lightnings can scare me off.” Xuanyuan Jie said in disdain.
“Really?” Jiang Chen said coldly as he activated the lightning.
The Clear Stream Sect was then charred by lightning strikes for several thousand li radius. Casualties rose under this wide-range attack. Xuanyuan Jie couldn’t get close to Jiang Chen anymore because he was busy evading.
Jiang Chen manipulated the Heavenly Lightnings to let thunder and lightning flash across the land. The mighty lightning then struck upon the grounds of the Clear Stream Sect, the number of corpses increased instantly. Xuanyuan Jie’s expression was getting uglier by the second. It’s not a big deal that the lord died, they can just appoint another one. But if all the disciples were to die, then the root of the sect would be thoroughly vanquished and the Clear Stream Sect will be lost forever.
This Jiang Chen is too terrifying, ruthless. He’s trying to pull the Clear Stream Sect from the ground up.
“You, madman! What sins do those innocent disciples have?! You’re committing genocide!” Xuanyuan Jie shouted as he continued to evade those terrifying lightning strikes.
“You should’ve expected this the moment you went against me, the moment you touched my father. I am not Jiang Chen anymore, but the god of death! I will never simply offend others if none offends me, however, if one does, I will repay the favour ten times more in return! This is my Dao!” Jiang Chen said.
Xuanyuan Jie’s expression became gloomy as he couldn’t stop the situation. Half-Step Divine Kings, elite disciples and even some Sect Elders died under the onslaught of those lightning.
Jiang Chen didn’t want to go against the world, yet these blind fools were the ones who went against him and to seal the deal, they dared to touch his family, he would not let this go.
He originally just wanted to kill off those seniors and leave the place as revenge and did not want to touch those innocent juniors. Yet their methods were too much, forcing him to pull the Clear Stream Sect from the ground up. 100,000 disciples, so what?! I, Jiang Chen, am a God of Death when I am angered!
“You’re a thorough madman! Devil! Today, I, Xuanyuan Jie shall vanquish this demon!” Xuanyuan Jie roared.
He ignored Jiang Chen’s words as he could only see a madman killing innocent disciples, destroying his Clear Stream Sect.
The lightning struck continuously but Xuanyuan Jie still flew straight to Jiang Chen, cruising through the lightning between them.
“Have a taste of my Heavenly Lightning Fusion.” Jiang Chen backed off as lightning struck.
Xuanyuan Jie suffered a few lightning strikes as he went on, yet, he was unfazed by it as he continued to pursue Jiang Chen. The distance between them was getting shorter by the second.
“Let’s see how you respond to my Heavenly Lighting Fusion!!” Jiang Chen said.
A terrifying deathly lotus blossomed. At that moment, Xuanyuan Jie’s expression changed drastically as he did not expect that. The explosive power of the fusion was much greater than the lightning. The explosion of that mighty force instantly blew Xuanyuan Jie away.
