Chapter 1672: A Man Versus a City
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All the big shots who had come up to confront Jiang Chen finally understood what he’d meant.
Those who were from Wind Cloud City were furious.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha.” Ear-piercing laughter rang out from the crowd.
Not long after, a man in blue walked out of the crowd and shouted, “You’ve all been tricked. The person in front of you is not the real Jiang Chen. It’s one of his practicing bodies. His real body left a long time ago.”
Without a doubt, his words were more believable to the crowd than Jiang Chen’s had been.
Suddenly, beams of light started gathering around the lords of the city.
“No one went in or out of the city.”
Right now, Wind Cloud City was under a blockade. Even if one had tried to leave through the void, he would still have been discovered.
“If this is Jiang Chen’s practicing body trying to play tricks on us, that means that his original body must still be around here somewhere.” One of the people in the crowd made a suggestion.
This statement obtained much approval from the crowd.
“Jiang Chen, if you bring out your real body, we’ll ignore your previous ravings.”
Suddenly, the big shots’ attitudes changed. After understanding what Jiang Chen had been up to, they weren’t that mad anymore.
Jiang Chen looked at the man in blue who thought he was a practicing body.
He recognized him. This man was Xia Jiang!
Due to his expulsion from the Sovereign Path, Xia Jiang had been sidelined and forgotten. He was still a Martial Arts Saint, although he hadn’t had a breakthrough in years. He’d been pretty much forgotten.
During the past three years, he’d lost his will to fight and spent almost all his time enjoying life, drinking and carousing.
No matter how miserable he became, he was still a Martial Arts Saint. Therefore, glory and wealth were no problem for him for the rest of his life.
He had accepted his fate, but he’d never thought that he would meet up with Jiang Chen. He knew Jiang Chen was resourceful. He could get himself out of any situation. However, he was pretty certain that Jiang Chen didn’t possess the powers he’d just been bragging about before.
“Ugh.” Looking at all those who’d believed Xia Jiang’s words, Jiang Chen felt bored and uninterested. He, who’d wanted to have a great battle, would just forget about it if this went on.
“Great Method of Void!” Before he’d even finished his words, he had already vanished into thin air.
“Where is he? Where’d he go?”
“Quick, search!”
“Pay attention to the barricades formation!”
Everyone’s subconscious thought was that Jiang Chen’s plan had failed and he’d wanted to escape.
“I’m here.”
Although no one was expecting this, Jiang Chen’s voice could be heard from far away.
The two lords’ expressions changed. The reason was simple enough. Jiang Chen’s voice was coming from outside the barricades formation.
The lords were completely dumbfounded.
Seriously perturbed, the group of big shots ran over to the barricades. As they had expected, they saw Jiang Chen outside the barricades formation.
Everyone was staring at Xia Jiang with scorn and mockery.
Jiang Chen getting past the barricades like this meant that Xia Jiang’s words were nothing but nonsense.
It didn’t matter whether it was a practicing body or a real body, Jiang Chen could leave any time he wanted. He had no need for camouflage.
“Take it down!”
The two embarrassed lords rushed toward a group of people nearby who were holding up the huge flags and shouted at them. These enchantments or formations were nothing but decorations for Jiang Chen.
“So, can we start fighting now? If I decide to disappear again, I won’t tell you where I am,” said Jiang Chen exasperatedly.
The crowd looked at each other. Then the two lords went forward together.
“God! Two Venerable Sovereigns together?”
Looking at what was going on, many busybodies were extremely shocked.
It seemed that the Venerable Sovereigns who had come out of the underground world had revealed Jiang Chen’s abilities to the others.
These two lords were at the middle stage of Martial Sovereign, which was a rank higher than the people that had been defeated by Jiang Chen.
To a Venerable Sovereign, a rank higher was equal to a very huge difference.
“We represent the Wind Cloud City and we want to battle against you.”
Jue Feng and Jue Yun had the same appearance. They were twins. They were both at middle age and were full of energy. The strength of Venerable Sovereigns made them look extraordinary.
After finishing their introductory sentence, the two unleashed a very strong fighting will.
The thing that was worth mentioning was that, unlike last time, there were no rules or restrictions now. Battle rules had become very vague.
It was a shame that the Bronze Cauldron and the eight groups of spiritual beings were no longer with Jiang Chen, or he would have been able to demolish the entire Wind Cloud City.
Right now, Jiang Chen unsheathed the Red Cloud Sword.
Those who were sensitive to the fire element felt the eruption of a volcano, with billowing heat waves that were insanely spreading.
The supposedly cool morning now felt like noon under a scorching sun.
Just as Jiang Chen had relied on the Du Tian Holy Thunder when he was a Martial Emperor, he now relied on the god of fire since he had obtained the true source of fire.
The two lords attacked first. They went all out. They didn’t hold anything back because they realized how serious the situation was that they had found themselves in.
“Wind Cloud Fusion!”
Their first move was already a combination technique.
Under the tacit cooperation of the Martial Sovereigns, they used an attack that was even higher than most ranked sovereigns could endure.
Fierce winds were roaring. All the clouds were going through myriad changes.
There was an invisible force manipulating the battlefield.
Jiang Chen frowned. These two were indeed different than ordinary Venerable Sovereigns.
Their combination technique was extremely powerful, from their offensive power to the effects that were caused by the moving clouds.
This could make one’s senses crazy. The distance of objects seen by one’s eyes could have great deviations. The distance of sounds that one heard could vary as well.
It would not only make one go deaf and mute, but one could become a disabled man with all the senses out of control.
“Not bad, you guys are worth the time I wasted just now.” Jiang Chen nodded and made a slash with the Red Cloud Sword.
“What?!”
Looking at this scene, all the spectators were left in awe.
That was because Jiang Chen’s slash didn’t undergo any special charges. It was just a casual slash.
Facing two menacing lords, he seemed rather too confident.
However, after the blast of the slash, everyone kept quiet.
Both blazing fire and thunderbolts were energy that would deal a great impact to another individual. Not to mention that it was the Genuine Fire of the Sun.
The Red Cloud Sword let out a long sound of excitement, then the martial soul appeared. It was not the Boundless Sword Soul, but the Undying Holy Bird.
The holy bird ignored the combination technique of the two lords and went on a rampage.
The offense of the two lords was completely transformed.
The Undying Holy Bird not only possessed the Immortal Will, it was also formed from the condensation of the Genuine Fire of the Sun.
In an instant, Jue Feng and Jue Yun were blasted away following the sound of an explosion.
In the end, they were caught by the people of Wind Cloud City.
People felt relieved when they saw that the two of them were not dead. They’d just lost their ability to fight and seemed to be struggling to breath.
“Quickly, bring out the elixir!”
The people of the city were in a flurry, trying their best to save the two lords.
After all the bustle, the two of them managed to stay alive.
“Stronger than I imagined.”
Jiang Chen looked at his Red Cloud Sword in his hand, feeling both surprised and happy at the same time.
“Attack! Everyone, attack!”
“Finish him off. You will be greatly rewarded!”
