Chapter 2361: Chapter 2365: What Would I Not Dare?
"Old Li, save me!"
Meng Yuanjiang cried out in panic.
The black-robed elder’s figure flickered, rushing toward the Eight Trigrams Formation. However, the formation descended too quickly. Realizing he couldn’t make it in time for the rescue, he turned and shouted ferociously at Jiang Chen, "Stop the attack and I’ll let you leave, otherwise, you’ll all die here!"
Jiang Chen sneered coldly, forming a hand seal.
Whoosh!
The Eight Trigrams Formation not only did not stop but descended even faster.
Bang!
A thunderous roar erupted in the air, and the four people, including Meng Yuanjiang, were instantly crushed, turning into a rain of blood falling to the ground!
"Damn it!"
The black-robed elder roared angrily, turning to charge at Jiang Chen.
Using one’s body as a formation! To actually use one’s body as a formation!
Feng Qingyang looked at the slender figure before him, a touch of bitterness in his eyes, I... am not as good as him, I am not his match! Dean, I’m afraid I will let you down!
"I’ll hold off this old man, you three combine your strength to block Liu Yunjian. Feng Qingyang, stop hiding your strength!"
A low voice rang out, and Jiang Chen’s figure flashed as he charged toward the black-robed elder.
Earlier, before he initiated the body formation, he sensed a subtle yet profound Great Dao Fluctuation on Feng Qingyang, knowing he had a strong trump card, which gave him the confidence to focus solely on fighting the black-robed elder.
Feng Qingyang was momentarily stunned by the words, glanced at the unwavering back of Jiang Chen, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "We’re not here to be spectators, attack! I’ll take the lead, you all assist!"
Whoosh!
Feng Qingyang’s figure flashed as he rushed toward Liu Yunjian. Jian Wuheng and Lin Shanshan exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and followed suit, a resolute look in their eyes.
"Youngster, you really have some guts!"
The black-robed elder saw Jiang Chen charging and stopped his movements, looking at Jiang Chen who was suspended fifty meters before him, a sinister expression in his eyes, "You’ve activated two such powerful formations and used your body as a formation as well; do you still have the strength to fight me?"
At this moment, Jiang Chen was indeed not in good shape. His face was pale, his breath was weak, the series of outbursts just now had exhausted the spiritual power within his Dantian. To ensure the death of Meng Yuanjiang and the others, he had channeled eighty percent of the power from his acupoints to invoke the body formation, which was equivalent to four times the spiritual power of Jiang Chen’s Dantian!
Now, Jiang Chen had only one-sixth of his total spiritual power left within him, equal to the usual amount stored in his Dantian!
It seems it’s time to enhance my realm. If I don’t improve, my spiritual power won’t keep up with the consumption! After the entrance academy competition, I will breakthrough and go into closed-door cultivation, not emerging until I reach the Divine Infant Realm Peak!
Jiang Chen murmured in his heart, channeling the remaining spiritual power from his acupoints to fill his Dantian.
Buzzing!
The aura on Jiang Chen instantly recovered as before, and his complexion became rosy again, sweeping away his previous lethargy.
Hmm?
The black-robed elder was a bit surprised, lightly furrowing his brow, "Opened your acupoints?" Able to instantly return to peak state, it seems you’ve opened at least thirty acupoints, you’re really a genius!"
For an ordinary cultivator in the Mid Divine Infant Realm, opening thirty acupoints alone at this stage would mean the spiritual power they contain matches that of the Dantian, yet the elder did not know that Jiang Chen’s own spiritual power was several times more robust than that of fellow cultivators in the same realm!
"However!"
The elder’s tone shifted, "No matter how talented you are, today you will die here!"
Buzz!
Following the end of the elder’s words, a vast aura emanated from his body. This pertains not to his power realm, but a condescending aura from someone residing long in the Unity Realm Stage. Under this aura, even a strong practitioner of the Void Refinement Realm would lose the will to fight.
After all, which Void Refinement Realm strong practitioner would dare to take on a Unity Realm powerhouse?
This was the aura cultivated by the elder over the years when facing cultivators of lower realms!
He knew that if he were to unleash his momentum now, it would only reach the Divine Infant Realm Peak, and that momentum would not be enough to suppress this seemingly Mid Divine Infant Realm youth before him, who used formations to kill nearly a hundred cultivators of the same realm.
So, he aimed to strike psychologically first, using his own aura to crush Jiang Chen’s fighting spirit!
Even Liu Chang and others nearby were affected by this aura, which was beyond just grit to withstand; it was an inherent reverence, a respect for the mighty!
The elder coldly smiled at Jiang Chen, with his seasoned eyes, he discerned that this Mid Divine Infant Realm cultivator was the pillar that kept the battle spirit alive in others. As long as his fighting spirit was extinguished, the rest would lose the courage to continue.
At some point, Jiang Chen had unconsciously become the center of this small team.
Perhaps because of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, or perhaps due to the shocking impact of the two formations and the body formation, Liu Chang and the others at this moment cast a subtle glance at Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen chose to avoid the battle and leave, they wouldn’t think less of him but would instead follow him because at the moment they felt the elder’s aura, they too had an impulse to flee!
"Boy, now, do you still dare to battle against me?"
The elder looked at Jiang Chen with a cold sneer in his eyes.
He was very confident; relying on this vast aura in the past, he once suppressed late-stage Void Refinement Realm powerhouses to the point of losing their fighting spirit, let alone a mere Mid Divine Infant Realm cultivator.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?"
Jiang Chen calmly replied, "As cultivators, we are fearless of heaven and earth, and unafraid of strong enemies. If we lack even the heart of a strong one, what path do we cultivate? What tribulations do we transcend? Regardless of any hardships, my heart shall not fear! Moreover, do you think you’re the only one with the aura of superiority?"
Buzz!
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, an intangible aura erupted from within him.
This aura was overbearing and imperious, carrying an air of self-domination!
With its emergence, Jiang Chen seemed to undergo some transformation; this youth, who had always been gentle and composed, even when slaying enemies in a carefree manner, now exuded a sharp edge, his imposing presence enough to shake the heavens!
Feeling the aura from Jiang Chen, the elder’s face suddenly changed, exclaiming, "How is it possible! How could you have comprehended the Intent Domain?"
"Intent Domain?"
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then instantly understood.
Intent Domain, the collective term for battle intent, killing intent, and the aura of superiority, these elements are intangible, yet, they exist in reality. Many cultivators can unleash killing intent and display battle intent, but these elements burst forth as transformations from their mindset, an invisible force not under the cultivator’s control.
Only those who can truly wield this power can be said to have comprehended the Intent Domain, and only those who comprehend it have the potential to reach the summit of greatness!
