Chapter 367: Chapter 365: Inevitable Doom
Jiang Chen sent Patriarch Qin, Qin Yun, flying with his Divine Wind Fan.
The color drained from Qin Yun’s face.
He stared at Jiang Chen in stunned disbelief, his gaze fixed on the Divine Wind Fan. He recognized it at once—it was a Spiritual Treasure.
Although his heart burned with desire, he also understood the power of a Spiritual Treasure.
Even with his Martial King Cultivation, he had been sent flying by Jiang Chen.
His expression gradually darkened.
"I refuse to believe I can’t handle you."
Qin Yun snorted coldly. Being sent flying by Jiang Chen in front of the entire Qin Family was a deep humiliation.
He immediately charged at Jiang Chen again.
He knew Jiang Chen was relying entirely on the power of the Spiritual Treasure. If he could just snatch it away, capturing Jiang Chen would be simple.
Seeing Qin Yun charge over again, Jiang Chen was anything but relaxed.
He was facing a Martial King. The Divine Wind Fan had only worked because his opponent was caught off guard, allowing the sneak attack to succeed.
Using the Divine Wind Fan again was clearly not a good idea.
Not only would his opponent be prepared, but the fan was only effective as a surprise. Its destructive power was actually less than the Cloud Mist Sword.
Moreover, it would completely drain his Cultivation Power in just three uses.
It wasn’t worth it at all.
Fortunately, sending Qin Yun flying had bought him a little time to prepare.
He immediately put away the Divine Wind Fan.
The Cloud Mist Sword appeared in his hand.
’Today, I’ll test my strength against a Martial King Expert.’
With the Cloud Mist Sword in hand, Jiang Chen began to circulate the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique. Simultaneously, he unleashed his Shadowless Sword Technique.
"Shadowless Sword Technique, Second Form: Sword Intent Startled Swan!"
He let out a low roar.
Facing a Martial King Expert, he didn’t dare to be careless.
A blade of light over ten meters long instantly materialized around his Cloud Mist Sword, aimed squarely at the incoming Qin Yun.
HUMMMMMMM...
The Sword Intent shot to the heavens, making the very world tremble.
Qin Yun’s expression grew grave as he watched Jiang Chen’s attack.
’What a strange brat,’ he thought. ’Just a Martial Master Fifth Heaven, yet he can unleash such powerful Sword Intent.’
He had still underestimated Jiang Chen.
At that moment, Jiang Chen seized the initiative.
"Slash!"
He roared, bringing his sword down.
The blade of light quaked, and the world thundered in response.
SHREEEEEK...
The sword fell viciously.
Even though Qin Yun was a Martial King Expert, he had to treat it with caution.
"Guiyuan Technique! Break!"
As Jiang Chen’s sword fell, Qin Yun immediately executed the Qin Family’s Guiyuan Technique.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in his hands condensed into a purple ball of light.
A terrifying destructive power brewed within the purple orb.
Then, Qin Yun thrust the purple ball of light toward the descending blade.
BOOOOM...
The two attacks collided instantly, unleashing a series of violent explosions.
Dust plumed into the air and stone fragments shot out in all directions.
The members of the Qin Family scattered in chaos, scrambling to get away.
The power of the battle was immense; the aftershocks alone were more than an ordinary Martial Cultivator could withstand.
Soon, Jiang Chen’s Sword Intent was shattered by Qin Yun’s Guiyuan Technique.
Meanwhile, his Guiyuan Technique was evidently annihilated by Jiang Chen’s slash as well.
The two seemed to be evenly matched.
However, it had taken time for Jiang Chen to build up power for his attack, whereas Qin Yun could unleash his Guiyuan Technique in an instant.
He was clearly much faster than Jiang Chen.
"Die!"
Realizing this advantage, Qin Yun shot into the air and zipped in front of Jiang Chen.
He viciously thrust a palm at Jiang Chen’s chest.
’Not good!’
Jiang Chen knew the gap between them was still immense. He reacted a fraction too slow, and his opponent was already upon him.
A Martial King’s flight speed was simply too fast.
Unable to dodge, Jiang Chen roared, "Black Gold Silk Armor!"
At the critical moment, he hurriedly activated the Black Gold Silk Armor for defense.
The Black Gold Silk Armor could provide a defensive effect.
A black light flashed, and a suit of armor appeared on his body.
BANG!
Qin Yun’s palm struck Jiang Chen’s chest.
Jiang Chen was instantly sent flying.
BOOM!
He crashed to the ground over ten meters away, his body bouncing once before rolling even farther.
Seeing Jiang Chen sent flying by his palm strike, Qin Yun sneered, "You’re just asking to die."
He knew his one palm strike was enough to kill Jiang Chen.
Almost no one below the rank of Martial King could survive a direct palm strike.
He then looked over at Jiang Chen.
The next moment, Qin Yun’s expression changed again.
Jiang Chen, whom he had just sent flying, wasn’t dead.
Instead, he was slowly climbing back to his feet.
*Cough, cough...*
A violent tremor ran through Jiang Chen’s chest, and he couldn’t stop himself from coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.
Blood trickled relentlessly from the corner of his mouth.
Even with the Black Gold Silk Armor for defense, he was still seriously injured.
Such was the power of a Martial King’s strike.
Fortunately, the Black Gold Silk Armor had absorbed most of the attack’s force, leaving little to land on his body.
Of course, even that remnant of power was enough to injure him severely.
This was the might of a Martial King Expert.
He pushed himself to his feet. His face was pale, but his eyes were filled with a chilling glint.
"Not bad, kid. You’re full of surprises."
"To think you’re still alive."
Qin Yun was surprised, but seeing Jiang Chen’s battered state, he let out a mocking laugh.
After all, no matter how formidable Jiang Chen was, he was still just a boy with a Martial Master Cultivation.
Compared to a Martial King like himself, the difference was vast.
As for why Jiang Chen hadn’t used poison, he guessed that either Jiang Chen had run out, or it was simply ineffective against him.
He could see that even though Jiang Chen wasn’t dead, he was badly injured.
He slowly advanced on Jiang Chen.
"You want to annul the marriage with my daughter? Not a chance."
"Give up on that idea."
"I’ll send you on your way now."
Jiang Chen dismissed his Cloud Mist Sword.
’The Soul-Breaking Poison is useless against a Martial King.’
He fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He gave a dry laugh. "Qin Yun, you forced me to do this."
"I only wanted to annul the marriage with your daughter and make her pay the price. I didn’t want to involve anyone else."
"But your Qin Family has blocked me time and time again."
"Now, your Qin Family cannot escape its doom."
Jiang Chen was furious. He was injured again—this was the second time he’d been wounded in the Qin Family’s home.
An endless rage burned in his heart.
"Haha! Ridiculous! In your crippled state, what can you possibly do to our Qin Family?"
Qin Yun let out a great laugh, not taking Jiang Chen seriously in the slightest.
He felt that Jiang Chen had already used up all his tricks, and they amounted to nothing much.
"If you have any other tricks, you’d better use them now, before you die."
"Otherwise, you won’t get another chance."
At this, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
He spoke slowly, "I didn’t want it to come to this. But now, it seems I have no other choice."
"Blazing Fire Technique! Black Fire Spark! Let the Black Fire emerge!"
After a moment of deliberation, Jiang Chen finally played his ultimate trump card.
That’s right: the Black Fire.
This Black Fire was a Fire of Heaven and Earth, its power limitless.
Although with his current Cultivation he couldn’t unleash its full power, it was more than enough to deal with the Qin Family.
Without the Black Fire, he truly would have had to think twice before coming to the Qin Family to serve the annulment.
He immediately used the Blazing Fire Technique to activate the Black Fire born from the Black Fire Spark.
BOOM...
The moment the words left his lips, a pillar of black flame erupted from above Jiang Chen’s head, soaring into the sky.
