Chapter 721: Conclusion

Inside the Ghost King.

Jiang Chen was bathed in a golden radiance. The Ancient Azure Dragon Sword in his hand was a Divine Soldier.

Furthermore, his physical body had been enhanced to the level of a Demigod Weapon.

Jiang Chen’s combat prowess was definitely enough to contend with an Emperor Realm Peak powerhouse. He could even, at any cost, slay an expert at the Emperor Realm Peak.

Of course…

Yebo was also a Five Extremes Genius, comparable to the Emperor Realm Perfection stage.

If Jiang Chen wanted to kill him, the chance of success was minuscule.

Similarly…

If Yebo wanted to kill Jiang Chen, it would be no easy task either!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Trident and the Ancient Azure Dragon Sword clashed again and again, erupting with heart-stopping waves of energy that surged in all directions. The two fought fiercely within the Ghost King, but it was the Ghost King that suffered. Bone after bone was shattered and severed in their exchange.

Agonized howls escaped the Ghost King’s mouth.

But there was nothing it could do.

Jiang Chen and the other were inside its body. It couldn’t just hollow itself out, could it?

“Nine Palace Sword!”

“Eternal Rush!”

Jiang Chen’s will to fight blazed like fire. He showed no fear of Yebo’s attacks, fighting with his life on the line!

As the saying goes, the strong fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those with nothing to lose!

Jiang Chen was well aware of the power gap between himself and Yebo. In a normal fight, he would be no match for Yebo.

The only way was to trade blow for blow!

Only by stunning Yebo with a thunderously ferocious assault would he have a chance to win!

As it turned out…

Jiang Chen’s strategy was spot on!

‘Damn it, this kid’s attacks are too ferocious. He’s not afraid of getting hurt at all.’ Yebo swung his Trident relentlessly. Watching attacks that could grievously wound an Emperor Realm Powerhouse land on Jiang Chen only to leave behind white marks filled him with a sense of utter helplessness.

‘How can this kid’s body be so strong? He’s human, but his physical body is no weaker than a True Dragon of the same level…’

Yebo watched Jiang Chen charge at him again and retreated explosively, his eyes scanning the surroundings. ‘The space here is too small. It’s disadvantageous for my fighting style. I have to get out of here!’

SWOOSH!

A spatial rift appeared behind Yebo.

He looked at Jiang Chen with a cold expression. “If you have the guts, follow me outside and fight!”

“As if I’m afraid of you?”

Jiang Chen snorted and followed close behind.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The two figures appeared high in the sky at the same time. Jiang Chen materialized directly above Yebo, upside down, and thrust his longsword down. “Nine Palace Sword!”

BUZZ!

An peerless Sword Aura, surrounded by nine Sword Palaces, converged into a pillar of light that descended from the sky, enveloping the unprepared Yebo.

“Get lost!”

Yebo tilted his head back, Trident in hand, and thrust it toward the Sword Aura.

BOOM!

The Sword Aura and the Trident collided. It was like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, or two comets crashing into each other.

A deafening blast rang out.

From the point of impact, an intensely brilliant light erupted, like a Blazing Sun stretched across the Celestial Vault. It shone with dazzling radiance, the sphere of light growing larger and larger until it covered hundreds of kilometers, before suddenly shrinking. Jiang Chen and Yebo’s figures reappeared.

RUMBLE—

The world shook. The Sword Aura shattered piece by piece, while Jiang Chen continued his downward plunge.

“Eternal Rush!”

He swept his sword across.

Yebo’s expression changed slightly. He still felt a lingering fear of this strange Sword Technique that could weaken one’s cultivation. With a roar, the muscles all over his body bulged, and the power in his Trident grew even greater. “Yaksha Heavenly Patrol!”

The Sword Aura and the Trident collided repeatedly.

The rumbling was incessant.

BANG!

The Trident slammed into Jiang Chen’s chest, causing the battle armor there to explode as he was sent flying backward.

Gold-colored blood sprayed from his mouth.

The instant he was sent flying, a crazed look flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. “Eternal Rush!”

SWOOSH!

The sword swept out.

Yebo was caught at the precise moment when his old strength was spent and new strength had yet to be generated. He had no choice but to take the blow head-on.

The battle armor on his chest also exploded. A gruesome sword gash running from his left shoulder to the right side of his chest cut his flesh open. Blood gushed out, and Yebo let out a muffled grunt. He was heavily injured. His expression flickered, and he activated a Secret Technique to stop the flow of blood from his wound.

A hint of paleness appeared on his face as he looked toward Jiang Chen. “Damn you, kid…”

Jiang Chen also stabilized himself.

He wiped the Gold blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a cold smile. “Yebo, you’re not all that great after all!”

“Damn you…”

Yebo roared.

Just then…

A scream suddenly echoed from the horizon. “Duann Tianya, the Demon God Palace will not let you go! Ah—”

“What?”

“Is that Zhao Tianyuan’s voice?”

As everyone watched in shock and uncertainty.

Duann Tianya was seen flying through the air, holding Zhao Tianyuan’s corpse in one hand. He landed in front of Jiang Chen with a calm smile. His surprised gaze swept over to Yebo as he grinned. “Yebo, it seems you’ve been so busy pursuing Yiluo all these years that you’ve neglected your cultivation! My little brother here is only at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm, yet he managed to injure you this badly?”

Duann Tianya wore a mocking smile, appearing calm on the surface.

But inwardly, his mind was in turmoil.

‘I’m well aware of Yebo’s strength. He’s at least as strong as Zhao Tianyuan, if not stronger. Even if I were to fight him myself, we’d be evenly matched.’

‘But Jiang Chen actually managed to fight Yebo for so long without being defeated, and even wounded him. This is truly astonishing. He’s worthy of being a genius that even the Saint Master pays special attention to. Master was right, Jiang Chen’s potential is boundless, and his future achievements are limitless. It’s definitely the right move to build a good relationship with him…’

Yebo’s face was ashen, his expression shifting erratically as he stared at Zhao Tianyuan’s body in Duann Tianya’s hand.

A trace of intense unwillingness filled his eyes.

He knew…

…that trying to kill Jiang Chen and seize the young dragon today was no longer possible.

‘Damn it all, I was so close…’ Yebo roared in his heart.

Meanwhile…

The battle between Demon Plow and Hai Zheng was also drawing to a close. The two had been rivals for many years and were evenly matched; neither could gain the upper hand.

SWOOSH!

Demon Plow landed beside Yebo, transforming into a tall, black-haired man with bloodshot, incredibly gloomy eyes.

Hai Zheng wore blue robes, and even his hair was the color of crystal.

He glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise and clicked his tongue. “Good kid. Even Yebo is no match for you? It seems the Azure Sky Sea will have another Overlord Level existence from now on!”

Jiang Chen smiled. “Senior, you flatter me!”

“Not arrogant or impatient. Not bad, not bad at all!” Hai Zheng grew more and more pleased. He looked toward Demon Plow. “Demon Plow, it seems you won’t be able to take the young dragon today!”

“Hmph!”

Demon Plow snorted coldly, staring intently at Jiang Chen with a sinister smile. “Junior, you got lucky today with Duann Tianya and Hai Zheng helping you. But we have plenty of time. The young dragon will belong to my Demon Flood Dragon Race in the end!”

SWOOSH!

With a flicker, his figure shot into the sky and departed.

Yebo’s face alternated between pale and livid. His venomous gaze fell upon Jiang Chen. “Kid, This Seat will remember you!”

His figure also moved, disappearing into the void.

Jiang Chen secretly sighed in relief. The crisis was, for the time being, finally resolved…
