The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 109

Jiang Chen lay prostrate on the back of one of the Goldwing Sword Birds, and refrained from using his original qi until now. He was currently absorbing the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Karma Pill and the Vast Ocean Pill to recover from his injuries and recover the true Qi within his body.    

The punch that reversed the situation earlier, had consumed too much of his true qi, and had weighed down his meridians and body beyond his capacity.    

Through the help of these two pills, most of Jiang Chen's injuries had finally healed.    

She knew that Yu Jie was constantly refraining from moving, not because she did not want to, but because she was injured. The wounds within his body made him cautious in taking action, and made him refrain from using his full strength.    

If not for Xu Zhen shouting for help, it was likely that Yu Jie would have continued to stall for time.    

However, Jiang Chen would not let Yu Jie stall any longer.    

He crouched down behind the Goldwing Swordbird, to absorb the effects of the pills and strategize. He knew that even with the Eight Trigram Assimilation Formation, the Swordbirds spread it out as they learned it – and could only play the smallest part of the formation.    

If not for the overwhelming might of the Golden Winged Sword Bird in terms of numbers, Jiang Chen would have absolutely no advantage in facing two spirit dao practitioners.    

Therefore, Jiang Chen did not want to delay and cause undue trouble.    

He had to first eliminate one of the two spirit dao practitioners, and prevent them from working in collusion.    

If he had eight or ten days to practice “Eight Trigram” Assimilation Formation, it would be more than enough to face Yu Jie and Xu Zhen with his number in Goldwing Swordbirds.    

But exerting the formation they had just learned.it would be difficult to avoid the appearance of weakness if their opponent attacked him.    

Killing a spirit dao practitioner sounded extremely overwhelming. If there were other practitioners in the Eastern Kingdom who had this kind of thinking, it would be because they were already completely insane.    

But, Jiang Chen was not the same as everyone else.    

He has the ability to do that, and his ace.    

The first target he wanted to kill was not Yu Jie, but Xu Zhen.    

He knew that Xu Zhen's training level was lower than Yu Jie's, and at this moment, he was already involved in the middle of the formation. Xu Zhen tried his hardest to deal with the wave of attacks.    

Jiang Chen knew that he was still some distance away from killing Xu Zhen just through his own attacks. But he had more than enough ability to distract Xu Zhen.    

When Yu Jie's Autumn Water Sword was ready to attack him, Jiang Chen suddenly stood up and released his prepared bow.    

The arrow was like a shooting star as it flew towards Xu Zhen in the middle of the formation.    

At this moment, Xu Zhen had already unceasingly complained to the heavens. He never thought that he would face any danger in the kingdom together, and fatal danger there.    

Before he left the sect, Xu Zhen had set out with the mindset to focus on the same kingdom, and trample on others. He felt that when a sect disciple arrived in the kingdom together, things would be easily destroyed as easily as breaking off dead branches.    

Except, the sight before his eyes left him filled with regret that could not be expressed in words. He really regretted getting involved in this mess. Why did she come with Yu Jie to this abandoned place?    

Just to curry favor with a genius in the future?    

“Sister Yu, I will fall if you don't move!” Xu Zhen ignored the pride and dignity of a sect disciple, and shouted for help loudly.    

It was at that moment that a terrifying voice sounded in the air, and it sounded in his ears.    

"Attack?" Xu Zhen was already unable to cope with this situation, and was in a daze. The wave of attacks had left him extremely tired.    

Even though he heard a sound barging through the air, he also knew clearly that if the rhythm of his movements changed, albeit slightly, he would die from the waves of attacks.    

There was nothing he could do but grit his teeth, bend slightly to the side and receive an arrow blow.    

Xu Zhen knew that this voice was actually caused by Jiang Chen's attack with a bow and arrow. He had once smashed one of Jiang Chen's arrows when they fought one-on-one before.    

Except, the current Xu Zhen tragically did not even have a chance to dodge.    

The arrow pierced through Xu Zhen's back with a powerful momentum.    

Most of the powerful true qi had been removed by the spirit protectors, but a small amount still flowed into his body, making Xu Zhen's internal organs tremble and tremble.    

"What's? There's more?” As Xu Zhen sighed in relief, he suddenly discovered that the sound of the air beating had not stopped.    

Other arrows, with the same tempo, the same arch, and the same path.    

"It's bad!" Xu Zhen suddenly realized that Jiang Chen actually had an ingenious control over his swift fire arrows. The second arrow had been hidden behind the first arrow visually, hearing, and even feeling, even making experts like Xu Zhen ignore it.    

The second arrow arrived just as Xu Zhen felt the circumstances were not very encouraging.    

The other arrows landed right in the same position.    

Although spirit armor provided great protection, the destructive power of an attack landing on the same spot twice was completely different.    

Sizzling. Xu Zhen hurriedly took a breath. When the true qi invaded and invaded his body, he almost wanted to vomit immediately.    

Although his attack was not fatal, it made his body suddenly endure immense pain in an instant.    

It was this momentary pause that allowed a golden beam of light to descend, and burst into Xu Zhen's chest.    

He was finally unable to avoid a more terrifying blow.    

Xu Zhen vomited fresh blood as his eyes turned red, the chain knife in his hand flew furiously as he roared furiously, “You want to kill me? You hairy animals and ant-like creatures dare to kill me, a dao spirit practitioner?”    

"Dead! Yin Yang Lotus, splitting everything in the air!”    

Xu Zhen's chain knife spun rapidly like a mad demon, the intention to fight to the death had been lured out of him. Although he received a blow to the chest, it had stimulated his bloodthirsty fighting tendencies as well.    

When Jiang Chen saw this, he was not surprised, but rather pleased.    

If it was a fight between a single opponent, Xu Zhen's brutal counterattack could shock his opponent's heart, and have little deterrent effect.    

Yet in this attack formation, Xu Zhen did not face a single entity, but rather hundreds of Golden Wing Sword Birds that did not even have human emotions.    

So when they saw Xu Zhen's counterattack, this Golden Winged Sword Bird did not retreat. Their violent nature further increased, as wave after wave of concerted attacks rained down endlessly.    

Xu Zhen's counterattack in the throes of his death didn't even have a chance to gain power completely, before he was immersed in a sea of formation attacks.    

Another wave of attacks landed on Xu Zhen.    

That boundless attack threw Xu Zhen back and forth like a ball.    

“Ah...” Xu Zhen's horrifying screams rang out continuously, incurring hatred and hatred. He had nowhere to bring out his strength in the face of this formation. His terrifying cries grew even more quiet under the waves of attacks.    

Right now, Yu Jie's attack still hadn't broken through the formation from the outside.    

“Matrix Assimilation Eight Trigram” can attack and defend. When Yu Jie deployed his attack from the outside, Jiang Chen had adjusted the structure of the formation. Four quadrants will attack and four quadrants will defend.    

In the main inner assault quadrant, they would increase the frequency of attacks with the aim of achieving a quick resolution and getting rid of Xu Zhen.    

For the main outer defense quadrant, they had to prevent Yu Jie from fighting inside at all costs.    

All of this had been taken into account by Jiang Chen, and his successive arrows had added fuel to the flames, accelerating Xu Zhen's death speed.    

When Xu Zhen's body fell down, and fell from the sky, a burden lifted from Jiang Chen's heart.    

Even though this fight was dangerous and fortunate, now he could at least be sure that he would not be defeated.    

Inside the formation, Jiang Chen pulled his bow and shot an arrow towards Yu Jie outside.    

“Yu Jie, is this the appearance of you sect disciples? You sent your comrades to spearhead the attack, when you were cowardly and afraid of death, curled up behind.”    

Rivers and oceans were also being overturned in Yu Jie's heart at the moment, and his mind was completely chaotic and confused.    

He did not expect that they would meet such a huge obstacle on the way to the Eastern Kingdom this time around — a hurdle big enough that junior brother Xu Zhen lost his life.    

Even though Xu Zhen's potential and strength were ordinary, he was still a spirit dao disciple and sect master. If word got out that he had been killed in the ordinary world, it was likely that he would become a joke among the sects.    

Jiang Chen's ridicule also made him unable to voice his bitterness.    

He did not really want to send Xu Zhen to his death. His initial intention was for Xu Zhen to distract the Golden Winged Sword Bird so that he could kill Jiang Chen peacefully, without fear of intervention.    

Merely, he had not expected Xu Zhen to enter a death trap with this move.    

Who would have thought that this furry and clawed beast would grasp the attacks in unison — Will understand the dao of the formation? Even sect disciples would find this unbelievable.    

“How could this Jiang Chen be an ordinary practitioner? Is this boy a wolf in sheep's clothing, a spy from another sect in the ordinary world?”    

Yu Jie almost gave birth to this misunderstanding.    

How could an ordinary practitioner be so strange and bizarre? Yu Jie did not believe this at all, and was unwilling to accept it at all.    

He could perform poorly in front of the other sect disciples, but he would never accept being harmed by ordinary practitioners.    

“Jiang Chen, I swear I will kill you!”    

A huge change had occurred in Yu Jie's mindset. Hatred and shame were intertwined and churned continuously in his mind.    

It was as if every single movement and gesture of Jiang Chen, every single strand of grass and tree in this Second Crossing was mocking him, booing the high and mighty sect disciple.    

“Autumn Releases Meet the Sky, cut!”    

“Qi Heaven and Earth, explode!”    

It had to be said that Yu Jie's strength was more than double Xu Zhen's. It is amazing when His divine ability is constantly deployed.    

A domineering sword aura filled the air, cutting so that the empty air trembled, the clouds disappeared, and the mist dispersed.    

However, the “Eight Trigram” Assimilation Formation gets stronger when it encounters stronger opponents. Under Jiang Chen's constant guidance, the Golden Wing Sword Bird's confidence continued to grow, as they increasingly understood the formation. Their teamwork is growing well.    

In this way, the combat power that had increased many times over due to Yu Jie's explosion, was dissolved and negated by the continuous increase in the strength of the formation.    

Yu Jie became even more worried as he fought.    

He did not even think of avoiding injuries, damage to his meridians, and negatively impacting his training again in the future. The fighting ability that exploded from him was at least three times that of Xu Zhen.    

However, even such a destructive power and terrifying divine ability were unable to break through the strange formation created by the Golden Winged Sword Bird. He could not rush into the formation and kill Jiang Chen.    

In fact, Yu Jie continuously revised his expectations. He didn't even want to get involved any further with this Golden Winged Sword Bird. He only wanted to immediately break into the formation and exterminate Jiang Chen, so that he could give an explanation to Long Juxue and Xu Zhen who had died.    

He would also have an acceptable explanation when he returned to the sect.    

However, tragically he discovered that he could not even rush past the outer defenses of the formation, not to mention running into the middle to kill Jiang Chen.    

“Jiang Chen this is very strange, if he is allowed to develop further, he will become a thorn in the side of my Shuiyue line. I will have difficulty sleeping and eating comfortably in the future, if I do not kill him.”    

Yu Jie had been thinking about his emotions now, but he had reached the limit of his strength unless he was careful, and used his blood essence to trigger the secret art.    

Triggering a secret art could increase his fighting abilities to a higher level.    

However, the price to pay to trigger the secret art was also astounding. It would certainly cause severe injuries to him, not to mention impacting his training in the future.    

If even secret arts were unable to break through this formation, then even a true qi master would be able to take his life when he was severely injured.    

Spreading a secret art meant risking his life, and his future.
