The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 85

His strength is still not enough.    

Faced with such a miserable state, and armed with the will of a large stone, he could no longer worry about the small things.. The true Qi in his body was all concentrated on an unnamed precious sword.    

“Precious sword, I could barely catch a glimpse of the fleeting beauty that was your splendor that night. Spirit power that flashed as fast as the shadow of a white pony crossed the gap, an aura that had once pierced through the stars, a heart-shaking secret...will you wake up this time?”    

Jiang Chen had thrown all the random thoughts in his mind into the back of his mind at this moment of life and death.    

Whether he lived or died would be determined at this crucial moment.    

The true Qi within his body surged like a tide, as he circulated the actual qi currents of the “The Secrets of the Nine Laughing Oceans” to the maximum.    

Combining nine meridians of true qi into one.    

Soaring into the precious sword in his hand.    

“Second Form Broad Ocean Flow Separator – Wave Breaker”    

At this moment, an amazing sight occurred. The simple and unadorned nameless sword suddenly awoke – like an ancient god rising from its slumber, breaking free from the shackles of heaven and earth, and trampling the rivers and mountains of the world.    

The splendor of the dusky stars and the dim sun and moon.    

At that moment, the huge waves of true qi around the nameless sword concentrated into the vague form of a god from time immemorial, which held the heavens and earth back.    

The aura of this punch was as if it carried the representation of the ancient god – as if it had a terrifying power to destroy heaven and earth.    

A sharp crack sounded twice.    

The blade is connected. Under the edge of the nameless sword, the golden mark on Long Yinye's sword flickered like an extinguished candle, and the shadow of the grimacing five-clawed dragon as if scattered by the wind.    

A crisp sound like torn silk rang out from Long Juxue's blue phoenix short sword.    

True Qi was drained away at the next moment.    

Long Yinye's sword cracked in the middle, breaking into two pieces.    

Long Juxue's blue phoenix short sword had been broken into pieces, and was turned into scrap iron.    

As for the nameless sword, the remaining prestige was endless. The sound of a howling sword was emitted consecutively as beams of bright light emanated from it, completely unharmed.    

Long Yinye was stunned. Long Juxue was also dumbfounded.    

Even Jiang Chen was quite astonished by this sight. It was clearly beyond his expectations. It should be known, his opponent used a spirit weapon.    

Not even a true qi master could dream of obtaining a spirit weapon.    

"Dead!" The long-prepared murderous boss' arrow shot towards Jiang Chen at the best time.    

Perfect moment, a peerless arrow.    

It has been put into this difficult time without the slightest mistake.    

Jiang Chen's attack had been deployed. Even though he had managed to break through the attacks of the Long Brothers spirit weapon, he still could not dodge this terrifying arrow.    

Those arrow eyes smashed into Jiang Chen's chest viciously. Although the powerful true qi had still not broken through the Skysilk Soft Armor, it still made Jiang Chen fly.    

The arrow that Jiang Chen had taken earlier was on his back.    

This arrow was tightly connected to an important area on his chest. As he was sent flying, fresh blood spewed wildly. Each meridian was attacked by powerful true qi, as if he was electrocuted, almost destroying everything.    

It was fortunate that the soft armor had blocked over half of its strength.    

Jiang Chen had also spent a lot of effort during normal times to strengthen his meridians, and had used a unique method to forge them, treating them with spirit medicine for a long period of time.    

This was why his meridians were not smashed to pieces.    

However, even though they were not smashed to pieces, they were severely injured, and could no longer circulate even the slightest bit of true qi.    

After he landed, Jiang Chen could barely breathe. He spewed out three mouthfuls of fresh blood in a row and finally crawled, sustained by burning his life energy. His body jolted as he limped towards the endless darkness.    

"After him."    

Long Yinye was the first to rush over, with Long Juxue behind him. The emotions of the two were currently dumbfounded as well as angry. They had prepared for so long this time, and had even taken out their spirit weapons. They thought they could easily crush Jiang Chen.    

Who would have thought that those two spirit weapons would become worthless by Jiang Chen's simple sword.    

The Hidden Hand assassin boss did not panic or rush, always maintaining his composure as he circled from behind, chasing at an appropriate speed.    

Ever since Jiang Chen entered their ambush zone, he had a unique way of infusing some sort of brand on Jiang Chen's body, so that wherever Jiang Chen walked, Jiang Chen went, he will not be able to escape from the pursuit of the killer.    

He did not care about losing Jiang Chen before, and certainly did not rush too much now that Jiang Chen was seriously injured, and could fall at any time.    

“I didn't think Jiang Chen's sword was so powerful and domineering, actually defeating two spirit weapons. I should have it. These brothers..” A killing intent flashed across the heart of the murderous boss. Even if the Long brothers did something rash inside the Boundless Catacombs, he would not mind getting rid of them.    

The desire of all the practitioners in the world to possess a divine weapon was enough to drive one crazy.    

Even spirit weapons were unable to fight against Jiang Chen's sword. This was enough for the assassin boss to risk forming the intention to kill the siblings.    

Jiang Chen, you can't escape!    

Although Long Yinye's spirit weapon had been destroyed, his weapon had not lost its footing.    

“We've surrounded the way out of here. If you continue further, it will be a taboo area. You have no path to heaven, and no way to fly across the earth.”    

Jiang Chen had actually also poured out his grievances as he ran. He was already dancing on the edge between the third and fourth levels under his feet at the moment.    

With every few hundred meters he traveled, he could sense that he had entered a terrifying abyss.    

“You must not set foot into and beyond the fourth level in any way. It is a forbidden zone. Countless geniuses dared to venture into it, and still no one had appeared. The odds would be great even against a spirit dao practitioner. So remember this carefully, remember this carefully!”    

Princess Gouyu's repeated warnings from that day on seemed to ring in Jiang Chen's ears.    

Going further would enter the fourth level, the forbidden zone.    

Even when spirit dao practitioners had entered, their path was filled with gloomy possibilities. No one under the spirit dao realm had ever come out again.    

But, to come back?    

The way back led to the Long brothers, who were watching him like a tiger to be devoured.    

There was also a terrifying cold-blooded killer.    

One of the three could kill a severely injured Jiang Chen as easily as extinguishing an ant.    

Continuing forward was a forbidden zone in the fourth level. There will be no way back from it. However, retreating and finding a way back was already forbidden. The three will never let go.    

There were only two options left for Jiang Chen. One of the two seems to lead to death and despair.    

“Haha, Jiang Chen, why don't you run away again? Continues to continue." Long Yinye's sight could already see Jiang Chen circling around the periphery of the fourth level.    

“Jiang Chen, I already said that you should die from fighting against my Soaring Dragon.”    

Jiang Chen's gaze shifted. The killing boss had also arrived within five hundred meters of his sight.    

“Brothers, first of all I want to say that the sword in Jiang Chen's hand will be mine.” A domineering feeling that transcended all questions enveloped the murderous boss's tone of voice.    

“Mine? On what basis? Are you trying to take advantage of this situation to take advantage of it by four times the usual rate? Long Yinye was furious.    

“Heh heh, young duke of Long. If you disagree, I still have a hundred ways to obtain this sword, and your hunting plans can also go to waste The killer's tone of voice sounded relaxed.    

"You!" A violent light appeared in Long Yinye's eyes.    

"Forget over. When I enter the sect in the future, spirit weapons will mean nothing.” Long Juxue understood the importance of observing time and judging the events.    

“Haha, Miss Juxue is well educated and reasonable. Then it was decided with pleasure. Jiang Chen was now a rat in this case, he could not escape.”    

Jiang Chen's face was expressionless as he stared completely at the three of them. “I've remembered you. Come in too if you want to kill me. Don't forget that on the day I, Jiang Chen, reappear is the moment where you will pay back ten, a hundredfold.    

With that said, Jiang Chen's feet were pushed off the ground as he rushed towards the darkness. He did not even look back as he rushed towards the forbidden zone at the fourth level.    

Jiang Chen, you must be dead if you enter! Long Yinye exclaimed.    

“Jiang Chen, if you come out, we promise we won't involve your family clan. Only death awaits you if you still insist on entering. We will definitely bathe Jiang Han's house with blood afterwards.” Long Juxue knew the heart attack strategy.    

The bloodshed at Jiang Han's palace?    

Jiang Chen's heart trembled faintly, but it remained as sturdy as a boulder, firmly rushing into the depths of the forbidden zone.    

Would they let Jiang Han's house get away if he gave up?    

Just like the promise of a tiger to a sheep, there is no credibility at all.    

“Dad, I'm sorry. Thinking that after my reincarnation, I was still unable to help Jiang Han out of a difficult situation?” A few traces of bitterness were found in Jiang Chen's smile.    

“Ai, this kid is quite stubborn.” The murderous boss also sighed.    

Long Yinye said angrily, “And isn't it all because of you? If you don't mention killing him and taking his sword, it might not be enough to piss him off so take this path.”    

“Heh heh, young Duke Long, your words show that you do not understand your opponent at all. Forgive my straightforwardness, if not for today's situation, the position of the Soaring Dragon Duke as the first duke under the heavens would definitely be lost if you compete with Jiang Chen openly and straightforwardly.    

The tone of the assassin's boss' voice was blunt.    

“You...” Long Yinye exploded into rage.    

“Forget it, what's the point of fighting mouth and tongue? Should we unite and keep chasing after him, or guard this place?” Long Juxue spoke up and became the mediator.    

“If you don't want to live any longer, you can chase him inside. But I won't accompany you.” The assassin boss did not lose his composure even when his subordinates were killed. However, when his gaze looked into the endless gaping darkness that was the fourth level, he actually showed a hint of a wary and surprised expression.    

“Then, do we keep waiting like this?” Long Yinye asked in a strange tone. “We don't have much time to wait.”    

"I can wait." The murder boss smiled faintly. “Payment four times the rate is usually unchanged. I'll wait here a few months”    

“How do we know that you won't be soft on him?” Long Yinye laughed coldly.    

“Take it easy? First, I have never been easy after receiving payment. Second, am I waiting for her to grow up and take revenge if I go easy on her? Third, I want his sword.”    

One of these three reasons is enough.    

Eventually, both sides agreed that the boss of assassins would stand guard here to prevent Jiang Chen from escaping.    

Long Juxue actually did not suspect that the boss of the assassin was not keeping his promise. He was well aware that this person was selfish. As long as he did not lose interest in Jiang Chen's sword, he would definitely not leave.    

Of course there is no point in waiting long. No one could pass three days within the fourth level forbidden zone.    

Their deal was to wait for a month. That's enough.    

“Sisters, hopefully four times the usual payment has arrived when I leave. You should be aware of what I would do if it did not happen.” The murderous boss reminded faintly.    

Long Yinye gave a cold snort but was dragged away by Long Juxue as the two walked out.
