Chapter 2387: Chapter 2391: Blocked
In the dense jungle, two figures were sprinting rapidly.
Suddenly, one of the figures stopped.
"Junior Brother Jiang."
Zhuo Bufan raised his brow, halting his steps to look at Jiang Chen who paused and glanced back.
The two had already run over ten miles, yet they could still feel the violent shockwaves emanating from behind them.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, I can’t just abandon our mentor!"
Jiang Chen stared fixedly at the distant sky, where several streaks of the Great Dao Divine Light constantly collided; one particular light with the aroma of wine was struggling to suppress the other three.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you can’t help; staying here will only distract Elder Jiu!"
Zhuo Bufan hastily spoke, then softened his tone to comfort: "Rest assured, with Elder Jiu’s abilities, they won’t be able to hold him down!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, there’s no need to say more. If Master hadn’t perceived this battle as his breakthrough opportunity, I wouldn’t let him take such a risk!"
Jiang Chen gently waved, grasping the Ancient Jade he had never put away, stared straight at the distant sky.
Zhuo Bufan was momentarily stunned, furrowing his brow tightly. He was puzzled about Jiang Chen’s confidence in his words.
However, since Jiang Chen refused to leave, he couldn’t forcibly take him away. Besides, although he reassured Jiang Chen, he was also somewhat worried about Hu Yiqiu, so he did not force him further and instead took out an Identity Jade, standing side by side with Jiang Chen to gaze at the distant sky.
Jiang Chen glanced at Zhuo Bufan’s Identity Jade, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Why did Senior Brother Zhuo produce his identity token?
"In the Jade, there’s a wisp of Divine Sense from an old fellow; crushing it will summon him here."
Zhuo Bufan whispered, "Had it not been for that old guy’s insistence on not to bring him unless at the brink of life and death, those bastards from Qingwang Residence wouldn’t have a chance to show off."
"It’s mutual! If Master hadn’t said this was his breakthrough chance, those bastards from Qingwang Residence would already be dead there!"
Jiang Chen slightly smiled and shook the Ancient Jade in his hand.
Only then did Zhuo Bufan notice the Ancient Jade in Jiang Chen’s hand, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Jiang Chen didn’t delve into explanations, focusing his gaze on the distant sky, where the collisions of the Great Dao Divine Light grew increasingly fierce!
"Junior Brother Jiang, you should go! Rest assured, I won’t let Elder Jiu come to harm!"
Suddenly, Zhuo Bufan’s eyes sharpened, he stepped sideways, blocking Jiang Chen’s front, glaring stubbornly at the dense forest ahead.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, just block Tan Ming, leave the remaining one to me; I also need to test myself, haven’t fought seriously before, today just happens to be a suitable match!"
Jiang Chen stepped forward to stand beside Zhuo Bufan, speaking calmly, revealing a hint of resolute fighting spirit in his eyes.
Zhuo Bufan paused, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise, whispering: "That Tan Zhengqian is at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm."
"Achieved through stacking elixirs only."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly.
Zhuo Bufan’s eyes lit up. At the auction, he had felt Jiang Chen was extraordinary, but hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to dare challenge a cultivator from the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm, though achieved through stacking elixirs, the realm is still there!
Yet he persuaded no more; he too wanted to see what someone capable of being Hu Yiqiu’s disciple with top-tier affinity for the Five Elements Great Path could do.
As for what would happen if Jiang Chen was defeated, Zhuo Bufan wasn’t worried at all. Even without using their Identity Token and Ancient Jade, Tan Ming alone wasn’t a concern at all.
Swish, swish!
Two figures leaped out from the dense forest under Jiang Chen and Zhuo Bufan’s gaze.
"Hehe! Why didn’t you flee? You don’t think that Elder Jiu alone can defeat the three of them led by Ling Tian Sword Emperor, do you?"
Tan Ming sneered at the two, a ridiculing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hand over the Sky-Cleaving Spear and the Five Elements Emperor Slayer Array, and I can leave you with a whole corpse!"
Tan Zhengqian crossed his arms, arrogantly looking towards Jiang Chen.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, leave Tan Ming to you!"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, extending his hand to summon a treasured Longsword.
"Alright!"
Zhuo Bufan responded with a nod, his figure flashed, appearing before Tan Ming. A looming Spear Intent emanated from him, suppressing Tan Ming firmly.
Tan Ming’s face changed drastically, his eyes showing deep dread.
He had exchanged blows with Zhuo Bufan before, never had he been able to overcome him. Now, Zhuo Bufan’s unleashed Spear Intent is even stronger than during previous encounters, making Tan Ming’s heart quake; judging by this Spear Intent, he’s certainly not Zhuo Bufan’s match!
"Do you think that kid can be our Young Master’s opponent?"
Tan Ming glanced at Jiang Chen, clearly recognizing the division between Jiang Chen and Zhuo Bufan, opening his mouth with ridicule.
"You’ll know whether or not once they vie for supremacy; you might want to stay put here!"
Zhuo Bufan smiled lightly, turned to look at Jiang Chen beside him, without worry about Tan Ming’s sneak attack.
Tan Ming’s gaze flickered, weighing the probability of a successful surprise attack before reluctantly abandoning the thought. He had a feeling that if he acted, he’d surely die!
On the other side, as Tan Zhengqian noticed Jiang Chen and Zhuo Bufan’s arrangement, he was instantly engulfed by raging fury.
"Damn it! You’re making a Mid Divine Infant Realm guy duel me alone! Are you mocking me?"
Tan Zhengqian shouted angrily, his face resembled wrought iron, rage seemingly about to spew from his eyes.
"There’s no mockery; dealing with you, is adequately enough!"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly.
Swish!
Five-colored Divine Light soared toward the sky, Jiang Chen’s expression tensed, staring coldly at Tan Zhengqian.
Right now, bathed in the five-colored light, Jiang Chen stood tall and firm, with a steely face, like a War God descending from the heavens!
"Hmph! Show-off, die now, will you!"
Tan Zhengqian snorted coldly, reaching out to summon a Longsword.
Swish!
A green Great Dao Divine Light exploded from Tan Zhengqian’s body, an invisible whirlwind whipped around, whisking the fallen leaves to form a tornado encircling Jiang Chen and Zhuo Bufan.
"Brat, you’ve refused a complete corpse, today I’ll have you dismembered!"
Tan Zhengqian’s eyes burst with icy light, shouting loudly: "Wind Cracking Space!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The surrounding tornado spun rapidly, slashing shadows appeared within the whirlwind.
"Shred him for me!"
Tan Zhengqian bellowed loudly, wielding his Longsword, striking it down towards Jiang Chen.
Swish, swish, swish!
Countless slashing shadows broke from the tornado, swiftly slashing towards Jiang Chen, simultaneously Tan Zhengqian’s Longsword flew into a vast sky of slashing shadows.
The surrounding space was sliced into ripples by the shadows; the entire world seemed to exist solely of countless slashing shadows, surging toward Jiang Chen overwhelmingly!
