The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 111

“Yu Jie, you will ruin the business of the honorable lord if I don't come. You can't even handle a small matter like this, and it almost causes the disciple chosen by the esteemed teacher to lose his life. In my eyes, your title as one of the ten greatest disciples is actually just to fill in the numbers.”    

This senior brother Xinghan didn't seem to be as arrogant as Yu Jie, but the words of condemnation he uttered vaguely were enough to make Yu Jie's forehead covered in sweat.    

“Sister senior Xinghan, I.” Yu Jie can't express himself.    

"Forgetit." Senior brother Xinghan waved his sleeve, and said to Long Juxue, “Sister Long, I am your foolish brother Chu Xinghan, the second disciple under Master Shuiyue. Today's events have caused great fear in junior sister.”    

Long Juxue was a beautiful woman who cried like a pear flower bathed in rain, a gaze that caused those who saw her to not be able to help but love her as she said sadly, “If it wasn't for Xinghan's older brother rushing here just in time, I .. I probably wouldn't have been able to see that esteemed master again.”    

Chu Xinghan slightly nodded his head, glanced at Yu Jie and said nothing more.    

Both of his legs were stepped on, as his entire body floated in the air. A blue vortex of air expanded under his feet like a lotus flower, slowly bringing him into the air.    

“You're called Jiang Chen?” Chu Xinghan's eyes were as deep as the Milky Way as he caught Jiang Chen. He was different from Yu Jie. Arrogance was not in his sight as he looked towards Jiang Chen – instead there was a trace of gravity.    

"Indeed."    

Although this Chu Xinghan was not as self-imposed as Yu Jie, nor did he consider everyone under his attention, his simple movements caused Jiang Chen to feel extremely uncomfortable, he said, it was as if there was a ferocious beast focusing on him.    

“It was unexpected that an ordinary practitioner could cause such a commotion. You really are not simple.” Chu Xinghan nodded. “If I want to kill you, your Golden Wing Sword Bird will not be able to save you.”    

Jiang Chen wanted to return with a response, but said nothing after thinking for a moment.    

Chu Xinghan's strength was indeed much greater than Yu Jie's. Most likely they are not on the same level.    

If he had the time to practice the "Eight Trigram Assimilation Formation" for three months, Jiang Chen might have a thirty percent chance of going against Chu Xinghan. But at this moment, at this moment, he had no reason to refute Chu Xinghan.    

However, Jiang Chen was not a sheep that was herded into slaughter. Although Chu Xinghan was extremely strong, Jiang Chen would not give up without a fight.    

“How about this,” Chu Xinghan said after considering for a while. “If I use divine abilities to suppress you, I will definitely gain a reputation as a strong person who oppresses the weak. I'll give you two options.”    

Jiang Chen's gaze was calm and aloof, and he did not open his mouth. He waited, gathering his strength.    

“The first option is for you to return to the Purple Sun Sect with me. Your feud with Long's sister will be decided by our high referee. This decision will result in ninety percent chance of death for you, but you will also have a chance to live.”    

“The second option is that I kill you, right now, and bring your head back to the sect to fulfill my duty to the honorable lord.” Chu Xinghan's aura throbbed slightly as he finished speaking.    

Suddenly, the Milky Way seemed to appear around Chu Xinghan's body. His profound and powerful strength and mystery made others feel too deep to be understood.    

“In relation to the second option, I am sure you do not suspect I do not have the power to do it?” Chu Xinghan's tone was quite calm and unhurried all along.    

If Yu Jie were to propose these two options, Jiang Chen would definitely ignore them.    

But Chu Xinghan had a certain presence about him when he said these words. The strength of his presence and power, forced Jiang Chen to seriously consider it.    

“The first choice to return to the sect with him seemed like this was a chance to get out of this matter, but it actually dragged out my weak existence. I have crossed the wheel of life and reincarnated, how can I let others hold my fate in their hands and determine my life or death? I may not be able to choose how I was born, but as a practitioner, I can at least decide how I will die.”    

There was not the slightest bit of doubt in Jiang Chen's mind. He might be better off dying in battle now if they wanted him to bend his knees, surrender, and obediently go with them back to the Purple Sun Sect to accept his decision. He would then suffer from shame and humiliation, before being executed.    

To die in battle is a glorious death.    

Kneeling down and begging to live in the end might not result in his survival.    

As his mind wandered here, Jiang Chen smiled dashingly and a trace of proud arch appeared on his lips. “Chu Xinghan, you are different from Yu Jie. At least I saw the attitude of the sect disciple to you. I respect you, but I didn't choose any of these options. Maybe you can kill me, but I will also make you pay a heavy price.”    

His tone sounded clear.    

Jiang Chen's attitude seemed to match Chu Xinghan's expectations. His slightly sad brows suddenly lifted.    

"alright. If there is no grudge between us, I will greatly admire you. However, the master's advantage was above all else. Jiang Chen, I won't hold back once I start.”    

As Chu Xinghan spoke, the wavering Milky Way in and out behind his back became even more brilliant.    

Of course, it was not the actual Milky Way, but rather an illusion formed by his personal aura. The bright Milky Way had countless stars scattered and glittered within it like a sea of silver. Each star was like a silver goldfish, jumping over the crystal ripples.    

This silvery-white light was a terrifying power that had slaughtered the Golden Wing Sword Bird and several hundred Silver Wing Sword Birds in just a matter of seconds.    

“Xinghan Extraordinary, sword aura shot into the clouds, come on!”    

Chu Xinghan developed his sleeves and waved his right hand, a sword appearing in his hand. With a flash of a sword as a guide, the Milky Way behind him suddenly churned and churned, as countless silvery-white light dots fused into a terrifying silvery-white sword aura, it was like countless shooting stars, as it moved towards Jiang Chen.    

He had exerted his ultimate skill with his first move.    

Yu Jie was watching from below and gulped twice. This level of divine ability and method was a level he could not aspire to at all.    

When a true qi practitioner like Long Juxue witnessed this terrifying and glorious attack, her heart palpitated with emotion, and her gaze on Chu Xinghan became gentle and warm.    

He couldn't help but think, “I thought senior brother Yu Jie was strong before, but who would have thought he was really a clown in front of senior brother Xinghan. When I enter this sect, my worldview needs to be improved a little. This Yu Jie is not good enough to achieve anything, but more than enough to ruin everything.”    

Unbeknownst to him, Long Juxue's heart had decided to replace his supporters. Yu Jie's appearance was a big joke when compared to senior brother Xinghan's appearance.    

Long Juxue was a proud young girl; she did not want to look for useless supporters.    

As for Jiang Chen in the middle of the battle, he suffered greatly. Chu Xinghan's strength was more than he had imagined.    

Thousands of strands of silvery-white sword aura kept leaping towards him like shooting stars. Even the highly defensive “Eight Trigram” Assimilation Formation found it difficult to withstand the attack.    

The few Golden Winged Sword Birds outside exploded and died when they were struck by the sword aura, with no exceptions at all.    

The formation continued to tighten, protecting Jiang Chen at his core. This Goldwing Sword Bird, wild and savage, was still loyal and steadfast, protecting Jiang Chen with their current lives.    

Strange emotions surged in Jiang Chen's heart. He really did not expect that this Golden Wing Sword Bird would not be afraid until this point just because of the orders from Mang Qi.    

Jiang Chen had never been a heartless person. He was not the type to hide and understand life while the Goldwing Swordbirds fended off disasters and fought for additional moments for him.    

He suddenly whistled long as a resolute light shot out from his eyes. His whistle pierced through the clouds, and millions of other powerful Swordbird troops suddenly appeared in the sky above the Second Crossing. They once again filled the entire sky.    

“Chu Xinghan, since you forced me, then I will destroy myself with you. Even though you are strong, can you kill these millions of strong soldiers? Even if you kill me, I will still kill Long Juxue!”    

Jiang Chen suddenly made up his mind and decided to self-destruct with his enemies.    

Even if he was killed by Chu Xinghan, he would still take Long Juxue with him. If he died without killing Long Juxue, he would still bring trouble to others as well.    

If he were to kill Long Juxue and eliminate the source of this matter, the Purple Sun Sect would probably not slaughter its entire family clan due to facial considerations.    

Chu Xinghan's mind was also agitated for a moment when he saw this scene. As powerful as he was, he was still a little shocked when millions of lives suddenly appeared before him.    

“Yu Jie, protect junior sister Long. I'll finish this quickly.”    

Chu Xinghan was an exemplary disciple of this sect. He saw Jiang Chen's intentions firsthand. Jiang Chen knew that he could not fight Chu Xinghan, so he changed his target to Long Juxue.    

If not for Master Shuiyue's orders, Chu Xinghan actually did not want to kill Jiang Chen. However, this had something to do with the honorable master's affairs, and although Chu Xinghan was unwilling, he could not hesitate at all.    

Jiang Chen, die!    

Chu Xinghan brandished his long sword, and his aura grew stronger. The sparkling Milky Way behind him trembled and shook with him, turning into countless starlight – as if a meteorite descended from the sky.    

The aura of this punch was actually three to four times stronger than the previous blow.    

“The newly practiced Eight Trigram” Assimilation Formation has no hope of blocking the aura. Jiang Chen sighed tragically in his heart and knew that life or death would be decided at this moment.    

Suddenly, Jiang Chen raised the bow in his hand.    

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.    

Four to five arrows were fired in sequence. Everything was precisely made for Long Juxue.    

Jiang Chen had the mindset that he would die this time – he only wished he could kill Long Juxue. Millions of powerful Swordbird soldiers also swooped in en masse.    

Not afraid of death, not afraid of destruction.    

Even Yu Jie felt her hair sitting up in fear upon seeing this scene. His attacks were so concentrated that even the scalp of a spirit dao practitioner was numb.    

Not to mention he, Yu Jie, had suffered some severe injuries.    

Only Chu Xinghan was extremely calm with a deep look in his eyes, as if the millions of powerful Swordbird troops were still not enough to stir up a huge wave of emotions in his heart.    

Chu Xinghan was indeed very calm because he knew that Jiang Chen and the formation set up by the Goldwing Swordbirds would not be able to withstand this blow.    

This was a blow that would wipe out everything and end the battle.    

The murky sky covered the dark earth, the sun and moon without light. It was as if the heavens and earth were groaning miserably as a result of this battle, and the sun and moon became melancholy because of this battle.    

Suddenly - suddenly    

A beam of light pierced through the clouds and the sky was covered by countless Swordbirds.    

It was like a bolt of lightning emitted from the black clouds as it streaked across the sky.    

Before its light faded, it landed in the middle of the Eight Trigrams Assimilation Formation.    

A strange scene was happening at this moment.    

The light was like the great sword of heaven and earth – splitting the horizon from thin air, and building a dam from the absence of – became a hindrance in front of Chu Xinghan's attack that came at Jiang Chen like a tide.    

The attack that rained down on him like a meteor shower seemed to hit an invisible wall of air, and was swallowed whole.    

A light breeze blew, and the wind calmed down in the next moment.    

The ray of light had disappeared, and Chu Xinghan's devastating blow was as if a huge rock had sunk into a huge sea, swallowed without a trace.    

This sudden development shocked Jiang Chen and Chu Xinghan.    

"Who's there?" Chu Xinghan roared low as his deep gaze floated warily around him, trying to look for the person who had interfered blatantly.    

At the same time, Chu Xinghan was deeply shocked internally. Chu Xinghan nearly used his trump card with the punch earlier.    

Whether someone who was at the same level as his esteemed teacher, Shuiyue, could easily fend off such an attack was an unknown factor.    

A faint beam of light appeared out of nowhere and swallowed his punch completely. This power is incredible.
