The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 133

In terms of speed, the furry wingline of the Golden Winged Sword Bird was quite perfect. Their speed was basically indisputable when breaking through short distances.    

But in terms of stamina, the Goldwing Swordbird's body was not large and their furry wing construction determined that their stamina would not last for long-haul flights.    

Jiang Chen spurred the Goldwing Swordbirds and flew at maximum speed for half an hour before chasing after Gouyu and the others. The entire crew was delighted to see Jiang Chen return safely.    

“We must increase our speed and leave the Northern Palace region of Azure Heaven as quickly as possible. The group of people were all desperate people who had been spoiled by the Palace and they would not be willing to let go of us just like that.”    

Jiang Chen was also quite resigned. Many things cannot be done as they wish when they are in someone else's territory.    

If anyone dared to block his way and tried to rob him in the Eastern Kingdom, Jiang Chen had long since shot him to death with a single arrow.    

Of course, it was not because Jiang Chen was afraid of the Palace, but he was considering the fact that the entire group had just arrived and he did not want to cause trouble and involve others.    

However, Jiang Chen did not think that even though he had applied patience and self-control, it was still not enough to make senior brother Kuang aware of the magnitude of the obstacles he was facing. When the latter saw the others from his camp, he immediately decorated them with extremely colorful details and won over many senior brothers who were much stronger than him. He had gathered around a hundred of his compatriots and divided them into four or five different teams, starting the search for Jiang Chen's group by means of putting up a net.    

In the northwestern region of the Skylaurel Kingdom, the Northern Palace of Azure Heaven held absolute power.    

Upon hearing that their junior had been bullied by a group of strangers, the senior brother who had a good relationship with senior brother Kuang was furious.    

When they heard further that the crowd of strangers had brought a large number of horses and that they all seemed superior to the green wyverns, the senior brothers who had medium relations with senior brother Kuang also joined the search team.    

“Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity!”    

“Come out and take our part!”    

The disciples of the Northern Blue Blue Palace had a considerable advantage in their sphere of influence; they could fly wherever they wanted to shorten the journey.    

To them, there were no restrictions within the Palace's territory. They did not need to ask for permission every time they passed through the government office or the rank of a duke. They can come and go as they please.    

In this case, search and arrest operations certainly have a big advantage.    

As for Jiang Chen's group, they naturally could not fly carelessly considering this was their first visit to a foreign land. They must follow the flight path.    

In this case, their flight path had long been mapped out by the others.    

The huge nets coming from all directions closed increasingly tightly around them.    

After roughly two hours, Jiang Chen's entourage was over a thousand li away from the place of conflict. They would start to leave the Palace territory slowly after the next four to five hundred li.    

They did not need to worry about matters as long as they left the influence of the Palace.    

Although the Palace was extremely domineering, they would not cross their borders just for hunting. Even if they acted recklessly and did not care for anyone, they would not be able to cross over to another region to kill deliberately in their own territory.    

Jiang Chen felt a puzzling pressure in his heart the longer they flew.    

his “Boulder's Heart” had trained to the peak of the third level now, and it wasn't too far from the fourth realm.    

That is, his instincts were much greater than during the trials at the Limitless Catacomy.    

“Everything be careful, Azure Heaven Northern Palace will definitely not give up. I suspect they are still chasing us. Everyone, beware.”    

“Come if they dare, who fears them!” Princess Gouyu stroked the hilt of her sword as a proud indentation appeared on her sexy lips.    

Jiang Chen looked at his eight personal bodyguards and then looked to his father's side.    

On this journey, their group of twenty or two people only brought twenty Golden Wing Sword Birds. The other Goldwing Sword Birds were in a remote area and temporarily did not follow them.    

This was also the strategy Jiang Chen had created. After all, the strength and presence of several hundred, nearly a thousand Golden Wing Sword Birds crossing the border would be terrifying.    

They will definitely be a target if they have a high profile.    

Various events proved that Jiang Chen's worries were correct. Forget about the nearly thousand Goldwing Swordbird, their group had been targeted by others as everyone rode the Goldwing Swordbird.    

“Sial, is this Azure Heaven Northern Palace endless?” Jiang Chen's Zephyr ears had caught a trace of the enemy's movement.    

“Everything is on guard and continuing the journey. Maintain battle formation, ”command Jiang Chen.    

The current Jiang Chen was not the same person above the Second Crossing and one who had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a spirit dao practitioner. He had trained the Goldwing Swordbirds for many months in the Eight Trigram Assimilation Formation.    

Such formations can now be broken down into many smaller formations and can even be reassembled into medium-sized formations. Goldwing Sword Birds in large numbers could also be formed into a grand formation.    

Without a doubt, the individual fighting strength of his eight personal bodyguards was the lowest on Jiang Chen's side at the moment. Other than Xue Tong, they were all true eight meridian qi practitioners. His potential was slightly greater, and he had already entered the nine meridians of true qi.    

However, the eight of them also had an advantage, namely familiarity with formations. After exposure for several months, their mastery of this formation had allowed them to comprehend seventy to eighty percent of the formation.    

Now, combined with the battle power of the Golden Wing Sword Bird, the eight people riding their eight Sword Birds could at least face over ten true qi masters without suffering any losses.    

If their training managed to break through to the realm of true qi masters, then they would even be able to exchange some tickets with spirit dao practitioners.    

Jiang Feng's group of personal bodyguards with Jiang Ying as its leader were overall stronger, especially since Jiang Ying had even entered the ranks of true qi masters.    

Of course, the person with the strongest fighting ability in their group was still Jiang Chen.    

Other than Jiang Chen, Princess Gouyu and her father Jiang Feng would be the next strongest.    

“Gouyu, you are in charge of leading eight personal guards and I will guard my father's side. Keep left and right wings tight, and don't let them scatter our front line.” Jiang Chen reminded him.    

Gouyu raised her beautiful chin as her neck, which was pink like jade, also lifted. “Don't worry, I won't be your burden!”    

The group walked at the same speed while maintaining the formation. Even though they knew very well that a chase was coming, they still did not fly haphazardly or change the flight path.    

“Sister senior Yi, did you see them? They're in front!” Senior brother Kuang's tone of voice became extremely agitated when he discovered Jiang Chen's group.    

This time, senior brother Kuang's posture looked even lower as he accompanied the other young man. The expression of this young man was cold, and his thin face looked extremely cold. There was a knife scar under the corner of his eye, which resembled a creeping worm, giving this young man a hint of cruelty.    

This person is the one who wants to be kissed by senior brother Kuang – senior brother Yi.    

“Go and stop them!” This senior brother Yi's voice was as cold as the sound of a sword.    

"Let's go!"    

A group of over ten people spurred the green wyvern and attacked at high speed.    

“Nak, still want to escape?” Senior brother Kuang shouted loudly.    

“You want to die?” Jiang Chen had actually found the group behind them, and saw that this person surnamed Kuang had still not changed his mind and had actually rushed forward.    

He no longer hesitated and shot an arrow back while turning his head.    

This arrow was very sudden and very fast. Senior brother Kuang rushed forward quite quickly, but senior brother Yi was even faster. One could not even see how he was moving, when suddenly a silvery-white beam of light appeared and the silver chain caught the arrow when it was ten meters away from senior brother Kuang.    

The one who manipulated the chain was senior brother Yi who had a scar.    

This guy laughed coldly, “What skills do you have in ambushing with hidden arrows?”    

The silver chain was thrown out with a shake of its arm and the arrow was reflected back towards Jiang Chen, turning into an air current.    

Jiang Chen was also a little surprised to see this person move.    

“Is this person a spirit dao practitioner?”    

This power had markedly surpassed the level of a true qi master. But it seemed like there was something missing to label the spirit realm.    

Jiang Chen had personally witnessed the strength of a spirit dao practitioner. Even the weaker Xu Zhen possessed a much greater fighting ability than this person in front of him.    

If he were to measure the strength of this fellow, then he was roughly somewhere between the peak of true qi realm and spirit dao.    

Yet Jiang Chen still did not dare to underestimate this person. It was fortunate that the fourfold spirit weapon, the Da Yu bow, was in his hands. He waved the bow in his hand and brushed away the reflected arrow.    

“It will be a little complicated!” Jiang Chen thought personally.    

“Senior sister Yi, thank you for your help!” Senior brother Kuang became arrogant from being satisfied and almost repeated his previous mistake. If senior brother Yi did not move with this arrow, it would be a sign of worse than profit for him.    

“Do not talk nonsense. I'm going to arrest this guy. You're the one handling the other.”    

Senior brother Yi had locked onto Jiang Chen from a distance.    

The two practitioners stared at each other in the air, their auras locked onto each other. They're deadlocked for now. It seemed that no one was willing to take the first step, as if anyone who took the first step would lose the initiative.    

“Your strength is not that bad. It's a pity that you're still in true qi realm and not my opponent!” Senior brother Yi's voice was as sharp as metal, piercing and annoying.    

“As if you are a dao spirit practitioner.” Jiang Chen insulted.    

“Although I am not a true spirit dao practitioner, I still have half a step in the spirit dao realm. It was enough to destroy a person like you, who was only at the peak of true qi realm!”    

Senior brother Yi's aura suddenly rose after he finished speaking.    

His entire existence was like a storm, full of mysteries of power.    

“Three moves!” Senior brother Yi said coldly. “I'll dump you in three steps!”    

The wind blows and the clouds move.    

The air currents in the void space next to senior brother Yi suddenly pulsed without any warning. Air currents seem to form a rhythm that moves with the same tempo.    

This is not actual qi and is more of a mystery than actual qi.    

“Cloud and wind chain, lock!”    

Senior brother Yi seemed to have turned into a mage when silvery-white chains suddenly crawled out of the surrounding air. Suddenly it began to spin towards Jiang Chen according to the rhythm of the air currents.    

The air currents spirit qi!    

Jiang Chen was shocked. This senior brother Yi did not brag blankly when he called himself “half step in the dao” spirit realm. Although his control over spirit power was not practiced, but this was actually a stream of air formed from spirit qi.    

Accompanied by the chain attack, the air around Jiang Chen was immediately shut down in an instant!    

Jiang Chen's gaze was deep as he clasped the nameless sword in his hand right at the moment senior brother Yi started his attack. Using sword spells as channels, huge waves of true qi surged like a tide.    

The Goldwing Swordbird beneath him was Jiang Chen's old partner now. He knew that Jiang Chen would move and adjust the rhythm of his original qi, matching his strength to a perfect peak.    

“Samudra wide rampage and big wave soaring... splitting!”    

The Goldwing Swordbird shot forward as a golden-colored light formed a beautiful arch and peerless flashes of the sword shot out within the gap.    

It was the third form of the Broad Ocean Flow Separator – Waveforms!
