Chapter 2617: Chapter 2620: Kid, How Dare You!
Chi!
The sound of tearing rang out as the Primordial Spirit Power unleashed by Yan Chengxie was cleaved straight through by that blood-colored dagger, and the split Primordial Spirit Power instantly collapsed.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored dagger chopped down to within an inch of the spot between Yan Chengxie’s brows!
"Impossible!"
"What power is this?"
"Blood Fiend Force? He can actually merge Blood Fiend Force into his Primordial Spirit?"
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, exclamations bursting out one after another.
Yan Chengxie’s face was deathly pale. His Primordial Spirit Power had been destroyed in an instant, and his Primordial Spirit also suffered a certain degree of damage.
"Concede."
Jiang Chen looked coldly at Yan Chengxie.
"Brat, don’t you dare!"
Yan Chengxie’s face sank as he roared.
If even he lost, then the three of the Yan Family would be the last three in this trial, and the Yan Family’s face would be utterly lost.
Moreover, the last three were very likely to be completely eliminated in the second round. If the Yan Family couldn’t even participate in the third round, their face wouldn’t just be lost in front of the Five Great Families, but directly lost in front of all the Pill Masters of the Canglan Continent!
Chi chi chi!
The tearing sound slowly rang out as the blood-colored dagger pushed forward bit by bit, slapping the Yan Family’s face right under Yan Chengxie’s eyelids—this was truly happening right under his eyelids!
"Everyone, are you really going to let an outsider take first place in this trial? Blood Fiend Force fused into Primordial Spirit Power—who among you can withstand that alone?"
Yan Chengxie’s expression shifted as he shouted.
People from the other families all frowned slightly, their gazes turning grave. If they really let an outsider take first place, it wouldn’t look good for them either.
"Who are you blaming? You were the one who first attached power onto your Primordial Spirit Power. Since you used it, others can use it too. If the Five Great Families lose face, it’s all on you. Don’t even think about making enemies for Brother Jiang Chen. You people from the Yan Family are disgusting!"
Lei Ling’er angrily scolded Yan Chengxie, then turned her head and glared fixedly at Lei Cheng: "Notify your people. In the Alchemy Dao competition, they are to specifically target the Yan Family. If you let even one of them enter the third round, you can just stay in this Canglan Domain forever—stay here for the rest of your life!"
"Yes! We absolutely won’t let anyone from the Yan Family enter the third round of the competition!"
Lei Cheng was startled. He could tell Lei Ling’er was truly enraged, and hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to her.
Lei Cheng’s bow gave the surrounding crowd a fright. Lei Cheng was the Young Master of the Canglan Domain branch of the Lei Ming Beast Clan, yet he had to salute like this to Lei Ling’er...
A look of shock appeared in everyone’s eyes.
"Yan Chengxie loses!"
Suddenly, Longteng shouted.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the blood-colored dagger was already pressed against the spot between Yan Chengxie’s brows. At this point, he should have taken the initiative to admit defeat, but he had no such intention. Instead, he stared straight at Jiang Chen, a hint of threat in his eyes.
"Friend Longteng, I haven’t lost yet. The standard for determining victory or defeat is when one’s Primordial Spirit Power is forced back to the brow. I still have Primordial Spirit Power beyond my brow!"
Yan Chengxie shouted angrily, his eyes locked firmly on Jiang Chen: "Junior, leave yourself a way out. To provoke my Yan Family in this Canglan Domain—be careful you don’t walk out of the Canglan Domain alive!"
"If I can’t walk out of the Canglan Domain, the Yan Family will cease to exist."
Jiang Chen replied flatly. With a thought, a streak of blood-colored light flashed, and the blood-colored dagger shaved off that last bit of Primordial Spirit Power beyond Yan Chengxie’s brow.
"Bastard! You’re courting death!"
Yan Chengxie cursed furiously, his aura erupting. His figure moved as he was about to charge at Jiang Chen.
Whoosh!
Buzz!
A figure suddenly appeared behind Yan Chengxie, a hand pressing down on his shoulder. A powerful aura spread out, instantly suppressing Yan Chengxie’s aura so that he couldn’t affect the Primordial Spirit Power others were releasing.
"Father!"
Longteng called softly.
"Family Head Long!"
Everyone cupped their fists in salute.
The Long Family Head, Long Dingjiang!
Jiang Chen had seen the Five Great Families’ information back at the Huo Family, so when he heard this, he knew who had arrived.
Jiang Chen drew his Primordial Spirit Power back to just outside his brow and followed everyone in saluting.
"Yan Chengxie, this is the Long Family."
Long Dingjiang gave Jiang Chen a glance and spoke calmly.
Yan Chengxie’s face shifted. He suppressed the fury in his heart, stood up and cupped his fists toward Long Dingjiang: "My apologies, I was out of line."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chengxie shot Jiang Chen a vicious glare, then turned and walked out of the Lake Heart Pavilion. He had no face to remain here.
The other members of the Yan Family all stood up and followed. As they left, Ming Yufeng took a deep, meaningful look at Jiang Chen, an indescribable expression in his eyes.
"Everyone, carry on."
Long Dingjiang called out, then his figure flickered and he left the Lake Heart Pavilion.
Everyone let out a breath of relief and sat down again.
Feng Yunxi glanced at Jiang Chen and said softly, "It was Yan Chengxie who broke the rules just now. From here on, everyone should stop attaching additional power onto their Primordial Spirit Power, right?"
"Why didn’t you say that earlier?"
Lei Ling’er said, unwilling to back down.
Feng Yunxi looked at Lei Ling’er but didn’t respond.
"Agreed."
Longteng spoke softly.
Lei Cheng looked at Lei Ling’er, somewhat hesitant.
Huo Langtian looked at Jiang Chen, then at Lei Cheng, a trace of hesitation flickering in his eyes.
The others all fell silent, their gazes focused on the few decision-makers.
"This trial is pointless now."
Jiang Chen said faintly, "Once we get to the actual combat, no one needs to hold back. No matter who I run into, I won’t be holding back."
"Jiang Chen, this trial is acknowledged by the Five Great Families. What are you trying to do?"
Feng Yunxi frowned.
"The Five Great Families don’t represent all the Pill Masters under heaven."
Jiang Chen looked indifferently at Feng Yunxi. "If you want to target me, bring out some real skill."
Whoosh!
The Primordial Spirit Power at Jiang Chen’s brow suddenly surged. The blood hue faded, and golden Primordial Spirit Power shot straight toward Feng Yunxi.
"You..."
Feng Yunxi’s expression changed. She hurriedly mobilized her Primordial Spirit Power to block.
"How dare you!"
"Stop!"
The other two Feng Family participants’ expressions changed drastically. They hastily erupted with Primordial Spirit Power, attacking Jiang Chen’s Primordial Spirit Power.
Bang!
A muffled boom sounded as Feng Yunxi’s Primordial Spirit Power was blasted apart. Her face turned pale, and her gaze instantly grew icy as she glared fixedly at Jiang Chen.
Whoosh!
The golden light curved back, and Jiang Chen’s Primordial Spirit Power wheeled around, lunging at the Primordial Spirit Power of the other two Feng Family members.
Bang! Bang!
Two more explosions rang out. The two Feng Family members turned pale, terror flashing in their eyes.
"Ling’er, can I go over to your house to play?"
After finishing all this, Jiang Chen directly drew his Primordial Spirit Power back into his brow and turned to look at Lei Ling’er.
"Of course you can!"
Lei Ling’er nodded happily.
Huo Qiong’s heart stirred; he was just about to say something, but after glancing at Huo Langtian, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes and he closed his mouth.
Huo Feng’er’s expression changed, and she said anxiously, "Jiang Chen, this..."
