Chapter 469: Upgrading to Venerable

Due to Jiang Chen’s great performance, Su Xing’s killing intent grew stronger.

He launched an attack with his sword in front of everyone while Jiang Chen was totally defenseless.

“You’re despicable!”

What he had done was shameless and unacceptable, especially for the top three of the Dragon Rise List.

Even if Su Xing wasn’t from the Evil Cloud Palace, he had been scaring them because he was evil, not because he was shameless, but he was forced to give up his principles under Jiang Chen’s pressure.

Han Siming, Yin Jue, and the others came to Jiang Chen’s rescue as quickly as they could, but since they weren’t a match for him, they could only restrict Su Xing. In the end, they lagged behind.

Jiang Chen was too weak to fight against Su Xing. Smiling helplessly, he said, “Azure Demon, black dragon, I’m sorry. I’ll leave him to you.”

“Sure thing!”

When Azure Demon and the black dragon were about to show up, a cold energy from the sword blew over them like a blast of cold air.

Su Xing turned pale. Jiang Chen wasn’t his concern anymore. He raised his sword in the direction the energy had come from.

“Samsara Sword—Reincarnation in One Sword Attack.”

The familiar sword chime sounded. The energy of sword had countless sharp edges, each cutting the air.

Li Nanxing brandished his sword. The wind created formed a storm of blades, shrouding Su Xing.

“Celestial Demon Sword: Demon Descends to Earth!”

It happened in practically an instant. Su Xing made an all-out effort. The radiance emitted by the demon sword raged through the universe.

Jiang Chen and Murong Long, not far away, nearly retreated at the same time. Then they started to treat their wounds.

When Li Nanxing and Su Xing’s swords hit each other, there was no redundant power spread out.

It turned out that although the two’s sword momentum had struck the whole world, they had actually had meticulous control of their powers.

They knew that no waste of power could be allowed in this exchange of blows.

“I told you that you should have stopped me when you were still at an advantage,” Li Nanxing said. He had walked out of the mountain shrouded in clouds.

“I’m sure that Jiang Chen’s performance was beyond your expectation. You’re just lucky!” Su Xing was so competitive to win that he had even stopped paying attention to the current situation.

“Sometimes luck is a part of the strength.” Li Nanxing stayed calm. He felt pity for Su Xing, since he wasn’t strong enough, but this was the most irritating thing. Su Xing gnashed his teeth, gripping the demon sword in his hand tightly.

“Let’s all die here today.”

As the number one of the Slay Demon List, Su Xing showed his innate cruelty. He said, “Thanks to your Jiang Chen, none of us can leave this place now!”

The bystanders didn’t realize until then that no matter whether they were from the Evil Cloud Palace or the Hero Palace, they were just as desperate.

“The exit of the Hero Palace isn’t open yet because there aren’t enough ward masters out there. The exit of the Evil Cloud Palace was only destroyed. Can’t you reopen it?” Li Nanxing asked curiously.

Su Xing’s eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again. He said, “If the Evil Cloud Palace were able to open the exit at will, why would we have exposed our secret?”

“True.” Li Nanxing nodded slightly. Looking around, he said, “So we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives here in the small world.”

Su Xing curled his lip and said, “The small world is a tiny place. Living here is the same as being trapped in a dark cell. We’ll have no way to know what’s happening outside. The most terrible thing is that we’ll be forgotten by the world.”

“If the small world can last forever, those outside will eventually find a way to open the wards. We just need to survive,” Yin Shuang suddenly said.

The crowd couldn’t help but nod. If there were only one or two people, the forces of the Dragon Field might not be expected to come to their rescue, but all of them were there. The forces had to figure out a way.

“Who knows how long that will take.” Su Xing smiled tragically. Looking up at the sky, he said, “I’ll tell you the truth. This small world will collapse in three months.”

“Ah!”

Those people had just managed to cheer up. Upon hearing what he had said, they felt like they’d fallen through thin ice again.

“The small world was established by the Dragon Dynasty. The dynasty was eliminated thousands of years ago, and the small world has lasted until now without any maintenance or energy supplies.”

Su Xing didn’t stop. He continued, “Why do you think we only have one month in here? There are so many resources and valuable treasures in the small world. One month isn’t enough at all! But still, we had to leave. Don’t you think that reveals everything?”

Although the crowd was unwilling to admit it, what he had said did make sense.

Yue Lansheng suddenly lost control. She screamed at Jiang Chen, “Jiang Chen, this is your fault!”

It was a personal attack, but many other people started to blame Jiang Chen, as well.

“If it wasn’t because of this crazy man, we wouldn’t have been trapped here!”

“Yeah, why did he have to destroy the exit?”

“You could have just fought!”

Both those of the Evil Cloud Palace and those who had surrendered spoke up.

Jiang Chen was untouched, as if he had heard nothing. He took a panacea in silence.

However, Jiang Chen could manage to stay calm, while others couldn’t. Yin Jue, who had had lots of prejudices against Jiang Chen, shut these people’s mouths up with a snarl.

“Let me tell you one more time. This war was started by the Evil Cloud Palace! It’s also the Evil Cloud Palace who is responsible for all of the consequences!”

“Shall we continue the fight or not?” Li Nanxing asked seriously.

Su Xing glanced at Jiang Chen. Letting out a sigh, he said, “Come on. Let’s decide number one on the Dragon Rise List today.”

“All right.” Li Nanxing was still very calm, as if he had just responded to a trivial thing.

“Haha! You want to decide number one without me?”

Suddenly, Murong Long, treating his injuries, burst into laughter.

“You?”

Many people cast uncertain looks at him, not because his strength wasn’t good enough, but because he needed a good rest after expending such a large part of his fighting power.

But it didn’t seem a problem for Murong Long. He laughed louder and louder. In the end, people started to worry that maybe he would lose his breath.

A golden dragon flew out of his body and soared into the air. It turned into light and disappeared.

While people were wondering what was going on, more and more golden dragons were flying out of his body. They weren’t very big, but they were very vivid.

At first, the golden dragons flew out one by one. Then they flew out two by two. At some point, they became endless.

At the same time, not only had Murong Long’s injuries recovered, but both his carrier of martial arts and his strength had soared.

“He’s upgrading to Venerable! He has been holding back his strength!” Su Xing screamed as he realized.

They should have gone up to Murong Long to stop him, but no one dared, because the fifteen foot range around him had become a forbidden place. And this range was expanding.

“Haha… You think you’re smart and I’m a fool, but in my eyes, you’re ridiculous,” Murong Long scorned at Li Nanxing and Su Xing, still laughing.

It suddenly dawned on Su Xing that Murong Long had intentionally not told him about Jiang Chen’s sword formation!

This was why he had lost the Unique Formation of Three Ghosts.

This guy has been hiding himself! Su Xing thought in surprise.

Murong Long, who had always been reckless and never bothered to use his brain, had schemed against all of them. This was truly surprising.
