Chapter 526 – Calamity (2/2)
“If my guess is correct, it should be that stinking monk who rescued Jiang Chen and that big yellow dog. As long as we find that stinky monk, we’ll be able to get Jiang Chen. Let me handle this task.”
A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Nanfeng’s face. Someone had told him about what happened in the Chaotic Ocean, and Tyrant played a big role in that incident.
”Palace Chief, look!”
The Great Elder looked at a spot below them. Li Tianyang followed his gazed and looked below as well, and he could immediately see a rusty broken sword lying on the ground of the mountain range. After losing the support of Big Yellow’s energy, the broken sword had been returned to its rather ordinary appearance, which looked like a scrap metal.
Li Tianyang’s eyes flickered. With a sway of his body, he landed on the ground. He waved his hand, pulling the broken sword into his palm.
“This broken sword is really heavy! Just now, that dog used this broken sword to attack us, allowing Jiang Chen to be rescued. Let me try and see what kind of treasure this broken sword is.”
Even with Li Tianyang’s senses, he couldn’t see anything special about this broken sword. Judging from its appearance, it was no different from a piece of scrap metal. He circulated his Yuan energy and sent it into the broken sword, but to his shock, even with his extremely powerful Yuan energy, he was unable to activate the broken sword, and it didn’t seem to respond at all.
“How could this be possible?! That dog is only a Third Grade Demon King, and isn’t even close to the Demon Emperor realm, so how could he possible unleash such mighty power from this broken sword?! Palace Chief is a true Combat Emperor, but you can’t even make this sword respond when using all you power… This is truly unusual.”
The Great Elder was really surprised.
“This is definitely a great treasure, only that I can’t use it with my current cultivation. If my guess is correct, that dog must have used some kind of secret technique. I’ll bring it back and do some research. With this broken sword, we won’t have to return empty handed.”
After saying that, Li Tianyang put the broken sword away.
After unleashing the power of the broken sword, Big Yellow fainted straightaway. Thus, he never had a chance to take it back. When Tyrant came here to rescue the two of them, his time to do so was very limited, which left him with no time to take back the broken sword. Furthermore, when Tyrant arrived, the broken sword was still unleashing its power, so if he took it away, the web of sword would have disappeared, freeing the three powerful warriors. Then, none of them would be able to escape.
Li Tianyang and his subordinates left. The mountain range had been completely destroyed. In fact, when Jiang Chen was facing the sixth tribulation bolt, this place had pretty much been destroyed. The battle that came later simply destroyed this land so much that no grass could grow here in the future. So, for the next few dozen years, this place would be a desolate land.
Jian Province, a province neighboring the Liang Province, and one of the major provinces of the Xuan Region. After Tyrant escaped, he began rushing toward the Jin Province. He found a quiet and wet cave, and made it their temporary shelter. It was a rather spacious cave. A man and a dog were lying on the ground, both severely injured. In fact, they were currently in dying states.
Lying on the ground, Jiang Chen’s face looked as pale as a sheet of paper, and he had stopped breathing. However, Tyrant could clearly sense that there was a force hiding inside of Jiang Chen’s body, supporting his life. If it was any other person, he would have instantly died by being in such a condition.
Tyrant couldn’t help but sigh upon thinking about Jiang Chen’s incredible ability. When Jiang Chen told them he was going to rescue Tan Lang, he never thought Jiang Chen would use such an approach; using his Combat King cultivation base to attract Heavenly Tribulation. This made the monk feel very astonished. He only knew this after Big Yellow told him.
After that, he turned to Big Yellow. Although Big Yellow was in a much better condition than Jiang Chen, it wasn’t good either. Big Yellow had used a forbidden technique to forcefully increase his cultivation base, then he used his blood essence in order to unleash the power of the broken sword. Both these things brought him a devastating backlash, which put him into deep sleep. Fortunately, the bloodline in his body was still circulating normally, which helped Big Yellow recover at a constant speed. It was just that no one could know when Big Yellow would wake up. But at least, his life wasn’t at risk. However, whether or not this would bring any negative effects to his future cultivation was still not certain. A backlash was extremely frightening, and the most terrifying backlash could cripple a cultivator straightaway. Thus, Big Yellow’s future was in extreme danger.
As for Tan Lang, he was currently resting quietly within the Heavenly Saint Sword, and knew nothing about what was going on in the outside world. The Heavenly Saint Sword had previously returned to Jiang Chen’s Qi Sea, and was lying there quietly.
“Brother Jiang is a true man. Venturing alone into the Asura Palace, such a heroic mission. Underneath the heavens, perhaps only he is capable of achieving this feat. I, this monk really admires his actions.”
Tyrant muttered to himself. He came from the remote Western Region, and was a rare genius on the Buddhist path. Although he was only twenty years old right now, he had already reached the Fourth Grade Combat King realm. He had never admired any geniuses before, but today, he felt like prostrating himself in admiration for Jiang Chen.
After that, Tyrant began chanting in some Sanskrit sutra. He removed the beads from his neck, then used the beads to unleash countless golden beams into Jiang Chen and Big Yellow’s body. He was using a Buddhist technique to heal both of them.
For Jiang Chen and Big Yellow, this was a true calamity; a life and death calamity.
