Chapter 355 – A Genius’s Charm

At this moment, the young man finally sensed the aura of death. Fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, and during this last moment of his life, the only thought in this young man was regret. He was truly regretting his desire to participate in this Gathering of Skynet, and was even regretting being the first one to come out and say something.

Too bad, it was useless to regret! There were a lot of different medicines in this world, even immortal pills and miraculous medicines. However, there were no medicine that could heal someone’s regret.

Crack!

Jiang Chen squeezed his palm, crushing the young man’s throat in an instant. The gap between them was simply too big. For Jiang Chen, killing him was no different from killing an ant.

With both eyes wide open, the young man slowly fell down to the ground. Jiang Chen pulled his arm back, not taking a second look at this young man.

Jiang Chen’s actions instantly brought the crowd to a turmoil. Those Divine Core warriors who stood closest to Jiang Chen were greatly terrified, and they couldn’t help but start backing off. Facing this young man who behaved like a demon caused them to completely lose all their arrogance and confidence. Even with Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi standing behind them, they still didn’t feel safe.

Especially those few men who had gone to the Island of Ice and had witnessed Jiang Chen’s fierce approaches. Their fear was much stronger compared to the other people around them. Just standing opposite of Jiang Chen caused them to feel a tremendous pressure.

“Jiang Chen, even in such a situation you still dare kill? Your courage is indeed extremely great!”

Xuan Yuzi raised the longsword in his hand high up, and pointed it at Jiang Chen who stood opposite of him. His energy started rising bit by bit, and the longsword in his hand was emitting layers of cold lights, causing those who looked at him to feel a shiver running down their spines.

“You two mighty still be worthy opponents, but I just don’t understand, why did you call these people here, is it because you want them dead? I think, you just want to satisfy your desire of being someone above all else. You called them here to show that you two have some influence, and with that, you can show off your superiority. Am I right?”

Jiang Chen knew what Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi were up to at the back. It was completely useless for them to organize this Gathering of Skynet. If they really wanted to kill him, they could just challenge him directly, they didn’t have to call upon so many warriors. Jiang Chen believed that both of them knew this very well, because none of these warriors would be able to provide them with any help.

“Jiang Chen, those who come here are my friends! I, Shangguan Yiqing will never allow you to kill them!”

Shangguan Yiqing shouted out loudly. His words made him seem like someone loyal to his friends, causing those in the crowd to feel better, actually.

“Haha, if I was any of you, I would leave this place as soon as possible, without getting my feet wet in this matter. Now, I’ll give you all of you a chance. Those who leave; I won’t kill. Those who stay; perish together with Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi.”

Jiang Chen burst into laughter as his eyes swept across the crowd. He was giving these guys a chance to survive.

His words brought the crowd to a turmoil once again, especially those who had been to the Island of Ice. They knew very well how terrifying Jiang Chen could be. If they didn’t leave, it was highly possible they would be killed by him. To be frank, the majority of the people came here because they thought Jiang Chen wouldn’t show up. With that, not only would they not have to face Jiang Chen, they would also be able to befriend Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi.

But who could have predicted this? Jiang Chen did show up! And not only that, it took him almost no time! However, if they left right now, the consequences would be devastating. Once they offended Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi, there would be no room for them to live in the Jian Province any longer.

Now, they could only hope that the Skynet Formation set up by Shangguan Yiqing could really kill Jiang Chen.

“Cut the bullshit, since you’re here, you won’t have the chance to leave this place any longer. Everyone, listen to me, proceed to your respective positions in the Skynet Formation, we need to completely lock down this area and give Jiang Chen no chance to escape!”

Shangguan Yiqing suddenly shouted out loudly.

“Yes!”

The crowd immediately replied, and each person started flying in different directions, positioning themselves in different spots. The relaxed drinking session had suddenly turned into a fierce battlefield.

“Skynet Formation, interesting. Let me see how powerful this formation is.”

A sneer emerged onto Jiang Chen’s face. After that, he unleashed his energy, causing powerful energy waves to spread out in all directions like the ocean’s waves. His fighting intent was incredibly powerful, and his mighty energy shocked Shangguan Yiqing and Xuan Yuzi. It was really difficult to imagine how a Late Divine Core warrior could unleash such explosive energy.

Shangguan Yiqing waved his arm and took out a golden talisman. After that, he simply threw it into the sky. He then injected it with a force, causing it to explode and turn into thousands of tiny bits of golden sparks and disappear.

At the same time, a faded light barrier suddenly appeared and covered 6 kilometers of circumference. Those warriors who were positioned on different spots had completely locked this place down.

“Looks like they did have some use. But, too bad, this formation is really bad, I can destroy it with just a single strike.”

Jiang Chen threw a casual look at the formation. Although its name was the Skynet Formation, in Jiang Chen’s eyes, there were leaks everywhere. He had dozens of methods he could use to break it. Shangguan Yiqing did have some talent in the field of formations, rarely anyone from the younger generations could be compared with him. But, since his opponent was Jiang Chen, who was once the greatest Saint underneath the Heavens, the gap between them was not small.

“Really? Show me what makes you so arrogant then!”

After saying that, Xuan Yuzi swung the longsword in his hand and unleashed a dazzling sword energy at Jiang Chen. It was such a powerful strike that it sliced through the void wherever it passed. All the geniuses from the Myriad Sword Sect were experts with the sword, there were few capable of defending against their attacks.

Jiang Chen just stood at the same spot without moving a bit. When the sword energy neared him, he forcefully pointed out with his finger, unleashing a huge golden finger which collided with the sword energy.

Devastating energy ripples swept across the area, shattering all the stone tables into pieces.

“His combat strength is about the same as Wu Cong’s.”
