The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 108

What annoyed Jiang Chen the most was that Yu Jie's high and aloof tone of voice seemed to be a hallmark of sect disciples. They looked down on others, and treated all ordinary practitioners like ants.    

Jiang Chen was extremely disappointed by such arrogance.    

He had never been arrogant in his previous life — and he was the son of the Celestial Emperor! Jiang Chen had befriended many people under the heavens, regardless of their level of status. He also never put on a conceited face just because of his high status.    

“Yu Jie right? You've said enough nonsense. You said you would use one finger to guard me, and then said that no one could save me between heaven and earth. I'm still here, all right, after all that chatting. Use your real abilities if you have. Otherwise, leave Long Juxue, and return to your sect.”    

Although Jiang Chen was injured, he had recovered from his injuries thanks to the effect of his pills. Not to mention, his injuries were not the result of a direct impact, so the impact on him was not as great as on Yu Jie.    

He also knew that Yu Jie was most likely doing some action.    

Although Yu Jie was not seriously injured, she must have suffered a bit. Otherwise, with his slash as an ordinary practitioner causing Yu Jie to spit out a mouthful of blood, Yu Jie's pride would definitely cause him to counterattack with the greatest divine ability he had, he said, and not just standing there flapping his mouth.    

"alright. Goody. Very good." Yu Jie laughed amidst his extreme anger, as killing intent surged in his heart.    

As Jiang Chen had guessed, Yu Jie had indeed suffered some injuries. His meridians had been injured, and his fighting strength was only left around seventy to eighty percent, if he forced himself to fight.    

If he used everything available to him, Yu Jie had a ninety percent chance of killing Jiang Chen.    

However, if Jiang Chen once again displayed fighting strength that was as strong as the one he had just projected, while Yu Jie tried to chase after him with an injured body, it was just as strong as the one he had just projected, the backlash from such strength would probably aggravate Yu Jie's injuries.    

If it were to injure the core of his body, it would probably have severe consequences on him during the main training period of his life. That, in turn, can greatly affect his training progress, and even bring him to a standstill.    

The cost will be too expensive.    

But if he did not fight back, he would definitely lose face in front of Long Juxue. His idea to curry favor with Long Juxue, and thus build the foundation for his future, would be void.    

It was a difficult decision.    

He had planned to use words to investigate Jiang Chen's abilities, and then make further plans, but he didn't think that Jiang Chen would give him any room to investigate at all. He retaliated with sarcasm and ridicule, forcing his dignity and pride as a sect disciple onto a path that could not return anymore.    

If he, Yu Jie, took a step back after those words were spoken, there would definitely be a shadow covering his martial path in the future. It would also leave a bad impression on Long Juxue's heart.    

“Jiang Chen, I want to give you an easy and quick death, but it seems like you are already desperately at odds with my Purple Sun Sect. Since that is the case, even if I pay a small price today, I will still thoroughly clean up your Jiang family clan, he said, and tell the world that there is only one outcome to challenge a sect – death.”    

At this moment, these threats were on the same level as the nonsense in Jiang Chen's ears. Even if this was not the case, would this sect disciple let the Jiang clan escape?    

Yu Jie had blown so much hot air without a doubt to regain his face.    

With a cold smile, Jiang Chen's lips turned lopsided. “Yu Jie, are all sect disciples the same length as you?”    

“You're slippery. I, Yu Jie, will help you understand today that even though you have potential and talent, you are still a pile of trash in front of sect disciples.”    

Yu Jie was also very angry. He realized that even when exchanging words, he was unable to gain any advantage over the others.    

Jiang Chen smiled after hearing those words, “If I am a pile of trash, then you can't even handle the pile of trash. So, what's the effect on you? Less than maggots? Show your true skills! I underestimated you because you can only flap your lips.”    

Yu Jie's face turned dark. He knew that he had no chance of winning a verbal fight.    

He snorted softly, and grasped the air with one hand. A sword suddenly appeared in his hand.    

This sword was like an autumn spring, emitting spirit power that made one's heart tremble.    

“Autumn Water Sword!” Xu Zhen's voice broke as he exclaimed, a trace of envy and jealousy appearing in his eyes. “Jiang Chen must be dead. The Autumn Water Sword! Thinking that the venerable master liked senior brother Yu so much that he gave this kind of spirit weapon to her.”    

“Xu Zhen, control the situation for me, and hold those furry animals. I will personally kill that stupid beast, Jiang Chen.”    

Yu Jie showed a superior attitude as he gave his orders.    

Ever since Yu Jie spoke, Xu Zhen did not dare to not listen. He chuckled, “It is an honor for me to make an effort for senior brother Yu.”    

The two sect disciples locked the sky passage from right and left.    

Jiang Chen still remained fearless. The more the other party acted this way, the more it proved that he was not steadfast in his stance. Yu Jie was a very arrogant person, but he was willing to let go of his face and call for reinforcements at this time.    

What the hell does this mean?    

This meant that he must have suffered some deep wounds, and his confidence was not as strong as before.    

Although a powerful force was frightening when faced with a powerful practitioner, it was not the most frightening.    

The most frightening thing was a terrifying strength, and even stronger confidence.    

When in battle and the strength of both sides were equal to each other, it was often people who were not afraid of facing death, and had confidence as strong as steel, who would keep laughing until the end.    

With the exercise of “Boulder's Heart”, Jiang Chen had become aware now, and understood that who dared, would win in an unavoidable confrontation.    

He also staked the power of the Eight Trigram“ Assimilation Formation ”, and the comprehensive skills of the Goldwing Swordbirds.    

The series of beast languages that he spoke earlier, was to convey some mysteries of the Eight Trigram“ Assimilation Formation ” to Goldwing Swordbirds.    

He knew that under the suppression of the two great spirit dao practitioners, an advantage in numbers would stop them for a while, yet it remained unable to turn things around, either, and it is even more impossible to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.    

The only bet is on “Eight Trigram” Assimilation Formation.    

Of course, he had the advantage in the form of several hundred Golden Wing Sword Birds. With their numbers, once they set up a formation, even though they could only exert ten percent of its strength, that crushing power would still be terrifying with that much amount.    

“Senior brother Yu, I'll hold back the hairy beast. You press Jiang Chen.” Xu Zhen said with a lick.    

With a wave of his hand, an unwitting chain blade appeared in his right hand. A long dense chain was intertwined on his arm, and connected to a sharp curved blade at one end.    

In the sunlight, the curved blade at the end of the chain reflected a deep red light. At first glance it was seen that it had been extinguished with the blood of many opponents.    

Xu Zhen had the urge to act. He shook his right hand, and made the chain sound loud in his hand. The chain also started to shake afterwards.    

The curved blade formed a sharp and sharp disc as it moved. The terrifying glint of the blade flew continuously from the round disc.    

Xu Zhen leaped and floated in the air, attacking towards the sky.    

“Yin Yang Lotus, clear the air!”    

Xu Zhen whistled sharply, as the chain blade let out an aura of death. He rumbled towards the sky as the blade light lit up everywhere, emitting a terrifying blade spirit power aura.    

Jiang Chen's lips moved slightly as he muttered something.    

Suddenly, the Golden Winged Sword Bird in the sky began to move, exchanging places with each other.    

Although they moved, their tracks were filled with mysterious wonders.    

About thirty or forty Golden Winged Sword Birds moved in unison all of a sudden, a true deep energy gushed forth from their mouths, it fell like rain and hail towards the rising Xu Zhen.    

If it was just a blow from thirty to forty Golden Winged Sword Birds simultaneously, Xu Zhen would not have thought that it was terrifying at all.    

However, this combined attack was definitely not a blind and disorganized attack. Under the help of this strange formation, these attacks seemed to form a kind of astonishing rhythm, a magical tempo.    

When combined, it completely fused into enough power to threaten Xu Zhen.    

The light from the chain blade had just flashed, when the combined efforts of the Golden Wing Sword Bird also gushed forth.    

The two forces clashed against each other, and the light from the chain blade completely came to a halt.    

The other Golden Winged Sword Bird group attacked simultaneously with the same rhythm, and the same method after, flowed – like the rivers in heaven flowing out.    

Xu Zhen was greatly astonished. He did not expect that these furry animals had the ingenuity to be able to form such a complicated partnership, and knew how to attack in unison.    

And this attack simultaneously, clearly brought with it a mystery that could not be fully understood.    

“What the fuck, I said break!” The chain knife Xu Zhen moved once more, as he circulated his spirit power, putting aside the power of the second punch.    

Except, he could eliminate the first blow, even the second blow, but did not think that this attack would be endless or limitless.    

The third and fourth hits were all quite regular, and there was almost no pause between the two – as if huge ocean waves, one after another, were falling nonstop.    

“Eight Trigram” Assimilation Formation is the same as its name, locking the eight directions with spirit power, and dividing the air into eight quadrants, locking the space completely. Participants are able to attack and defend both inside and outside the formation.    

Xu Zhen hastily rushed over, and had made a mistake at the heart of the formation. What greeted him naturally was wave after wave of crazy attacks.    

If this formation was used by spirit dao practitioners, then it would be truly extraordinary, with countless variations.    

Although the Golden Wing Sword Bird was not a spirit dao practitioner, they were on par with true qi masters. Each quadrant had around forty Goldwing Swordbirds.    

If it was pure in terms of summing up their total strength, forty Gold Winged Sword Birds were equivalent to ordinary dao spirit practitioners.    

With the effect of the formation, the combined strength of the forty Golden Winged Sword Birds clearly increased by more than double. Their offensive abilities were enough to threaten a spirit dao practitioner of Xu Zhen's level.    

These eight quadrants sent out wave after wave of consecutive attacks. It was almost a series of smooth suppression attacks, equivalent to seven to eight equally powerful practitioners defeating Xu Zhen.    

The power difference is immediately visible.    

Xu Zhen barely managed to fend off the fifth and sixth attacks, when he realized that he had fallen victim to a trap. He shouted, “ Senior brother Yu, quickly move. This hairy animal seems to know of a formation, and this is really very strange!”    

Yu Jie had actually seen that something was not right even without Xu Zhen exclaiming. With Xu Zhen's attack power, specifically the “Yin Yang Lotus” method used by his chain blade, it should have been the best way to break through this Golden Winged Sword Bird.    

Except, Yu Jie had not expected that other than the first wave of attacks, Xu Zhen would not have the chance to make a move. He was soon surrounded.    

Yu Jie knew he could not wait anymore. If he waited any longer, and paid Xu Zhen's price as well, then he would lose a lot of face.    

Although Xu Zhen's life or death didn't mean much to Yu Jie, he didn't want to create the image of a villain who didn't care about his fellow sect disciples in front of Long Juxue.    

Especially when Xu Zhen went to attack the feathered beasts under his orders.    

Jiang Chen, die!    

Yu Jie did not mince words this time, as he brandished the long sword in his hand. The sword trembled with a humming sound, as if the cry of a dragon rang out, and swept through the wilderness.
