Chapter 2389: Chapter 2393: Blown Up
After a while, the dust settled, and both their pupils suddenly contracted.
"How is this possible!?"
Tan Ming exclaimed in disbelief, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.
The attack from Tan Zhengqian, which even he would have needed to exert effort to block, was unexpectedly thwarted by the self-detonation of Jiang Chen’s longsword!
Amidst the chaos, a glowing halo emitted from Jiang Chen’s body. His face looked slightly pale, yet his gaze remained sharp.
In contrast, Tan Zhengqian had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face exceedingly pale, clearly having suffered severe injuries from the explosion.
Could this be... the explosion caused by the overbearing fusion of five strands of the Power of the Great Dao with Spiritual Power? This junior fellow Jiang is quite ruthless; such an attack could easily harm the source of the Great Dao!
Zhuo Bufan’s eyes flickered with realization, and he looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of admiration in his gaze.
Not everyone dares to use such an attack!
Dao Rhythm!?
Suddenly, Zhuo Bufan noticed the glowing halo on Jiang Chen’s body and immediately reacted.
No wonder, with Dao Rhythm protecting the source of the Great Dao, he could execute this Great Dao Explosion, but he shouldn’t release it too many times!
Zhuo Bufan was right; before, it was just a minor exertion, which didn’t matter much. But this time, Jiang Chen infused most of his Power of the Great Dao into the longsword to trigger the explosion, and he instantly noticed a difference.
The Five Elements Dao Divine Wheel and the source Power of the Earth Path in his Sea of Consciousness both started to tremble, with faint signs of collapse. Fortunately, the soothing Dao Rhythm was able to suppress this potential collapse.
It seems I can’t use this move casually; it’s only for life-saving!
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, then a cold glint appeared in his eyes as he whispered, "Die for me! Ice Void Needle!"
Swish!
A glimmer of cold light appeared between Jiang Chen’s brows, and an Ice Crystal Longsword appeared and vanished instantly!
"No! You can’t kill me!"
Tan Zhengqian’s expression suddenly changed, sensing a deadly crisis locking onto him. He immediately shouted loudly.
Buzz!
The space in front of his brows suddenly trembled, and an Ice Crystal Needle appeared, fiercely stabbing toward Tan Zhengqian’s brows.
"Stop!"
Tan Ming shouted, his figure flickering as he was about to rush toward Jiang Chen.
Swish!
A spear shadow blocked Tan Ming, and Zhuo Bufan coldly said, "You better behave!"
Bang!
At this moment, a muffled sound rang out. Just as the Ice Crystal Needle was about to pierce Tan Zhengqian’s brows, an azure light shield suddenly appeared around him, protecting him.
The needle struck the light shield, unable to penetrate, only trembling continuously in front of it.
"Haha! Haha... This is the Protective Divine Light left for me by my father, you can’t kill me! Haha..."
Realizing this, Tan Zhengqian’s face lit up with joy, and he laughed aloud.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, sensing the protective shield, knowing the Ice Void Needle couldn’t destroy it, he immediately changed his mind.
Swish!
The Ice Crystal Needle flew back, returning to the center of Jiang Chen’s brows.
"Let us go, and I can overlook what happened today!"
Tan Zhengqian glanced nervously at Zhuo Bufan in the air, speaking in a deep voice.
"Do you think there’s nothing I can do to you?"
Jiang Chen smiled coldly, forming a seal with his hand, and shouted, "Heaven and Earth Furnace!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Scorching flames erupted from Jiang Chen’s body, instantly transforming into a towering sea of flames, directly enveloping Tan Zhengqian.
The flames rapidly condensed, forming a gigantic furnace, and within that furnace was Tan Zhengqian, enveloped in a shimmering azure light.
"This power..."
Zhuo Bufan’s expression changed, then he looked at Jiang Chen with envy, saying, "This must be an Earth Rank high-grade combat skill; this junior fellow Jiang is quite fortunate!"
"Earth Rank high-grade combat skill? So what, can you break the protective barrier my father set for me?"
Tan Zhengqian showed a hint of apprehension, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen outside the furnace.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, First Refinement, Fire Serpent Revealed!"
Roar!
A hiss sounded, and a giant serpent emitting scorching flames appeared inside the furnace, fiercely attacking the azure light shield.
Bam bam bam!
Consecutive collision sounds rang out, yet the azure light shield stood firm amidst the fierce impacts of the serpent!
"Haha! Haha... A futile effort, you cannot break this shield!"
Tan Zhengqian laughed aloud, a mocking look in his eyes, "Kid, once the Spear Emperor Ling Tian and the others deal with that drunken swordmaster, all of you will die!"
"It’s a pity, only gaining a beast soul from a magical beast!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the azure shield, a look of regret in his eyes.
Immediately after, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes: "Do you really think I have no other means? Today, you’ll pay for your actions; if anything happens to my master, the Qingwang Residence will face annihilation!"
"Vernal Flame!"
Whoosh!
A vibrant green flame suddenly flared up on Jiang Chen’s body, and at the same time, a flicker of bloody light dashed into the Vernal Flame from the blood-red droplet in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Refine him for me!"
Jiang Chen shouted, pointing with one finger, sending the Vernal Flame into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Swish!
A bloody radiance flew out from the Vernal Flame, shining upon the azure light shield.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The azure light shield shook violently, and cracks began to appear on the shield.
"No! It’s impossible! What is this fire? What is this thing? Impossible!"
Panicking, Tan Zhengqian frantically shouted, "You can’t kill me! I am the son of the Qing King, if you kill me, you will be the enemy of the Qingwang Residence, and we will fight to the death!"
Jiang Chen revealed a mocking smile, ignoring him, as he formed a handseal.
Swish!
The bloody radiance flickered violently, filling the entire furnace with an icy Blood Fiend Aura.
Bang!
A sound of air bursting resounded, and the azure light shield shattered, leading the raging flames to surge toward Tan Zhengqian!
"No! You can’t kill me! You..."
Tan Zhengqian’s expression drastically changed, his eyes brimming with terror as he called frantically.
"Stop!"
Fear filled Tan Ming’s eyes, never expecting that Jiang Chen could push Tan Zhengqian to this extent. If Tan Zhengqian died, the Qing King’s fury would inevitably lead to his own demise!
Swish!
With a flash, Tan Ming disregarded the presence of Zhuo Bufan in front of him, turning to rush toward Jiang Chen.
"Irreversible Spear!"
An overwhelming resolve to sacrifice suddenly erupted, as a stern Spear Intent burst from Zhuo Bufan, merging his entire being into the long spear, transforming into a resolute spear shadow, fiercely stabbing toward Tan Ming.
"What? Another Earth Rank high-grade combat skill?"
Tan Ming’s expression shifted dramatically, hastily turning back to slash at the spear shadow.
Boom!
A rumbling sound echoed as the spear shadow shattered Tan Ming’s longsword with an unstoppable force, piercing through Tan Ming’s body.
Bam!
Tan Ming exploded, turning into a mist of blood that drifted away with the wind!
