Chapter 2049: The Fifth Prince’s Arrival (1/2)

The clamorous garden immediately quietened down slightly. Many people stared at Jian Chen, who stood in the barrier of energy. He was bloodied and covered in horrific wounds, but he still gave off a surprising presence. Their feelings were mixed.

Many of them looked at him with gazes of hatred.

Clearly, Jian Chen’s threat had managed to form a certain level of deterrence, making many of the Godkings around show fear.

He was a supreme Overgod who had easily defeated Mo Cheng. He had killed early Godkings while he was still a late Overgod. Many of the Godkings in the Divine Medicinal Garden shivered when they thought of such great battle prowess.

Now that Jian Chen had reached the level of Godkings, no one knew just how great Jian Chen’s battle prowess had advanced to when they thought about the battle prowess he had possessed as an Overgod.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone. He has only made a breakthrough in comprehension. His cultivation hasn’t advanced, and he’s heavily wounded, so he can’t last much longer. His presence right now is completely faked. He’s actually about to collapse. Don’t be tricked by him.”

“A single late Godking is enough to easily kill him.”

“The Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways has just been consumed, so it shouldn’t have been digested completely yet. Let’s get through the formation immediately and kill that woman. Maybe we can retrieve the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways.”

Jian Chen’s threats did not frighten everyone. There were still a small fraction of people who had not given up on the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, and they looked down on Jian Chen. They fanned the flames in an attempt to get everyone to band together and continue with their previous actions.

Jian Chen snorted coldly. Killing intent surged from his body as his gaze locked onto a mid Godking who was urging everyone on. He directly charged out of the barrier and used the Taiyi Sword Technique. He turned into a sword as he shot through the air as a resplendent streak of light towards the mid Godking.

After Jian Chen’s comprehension of the Laws of the Sword had reached the major achievement of Sword Spirit, not only did his strength increase, but the power of his various sword techniques had strengthened several times over as well.

The mid Godking sensed that Jian Chen was attacking him, so his face immediately changed. His laws condensed as he struck out with the power of his cultivation as well.

He comprehended the Laws of Water, one of the five elements.

In terms of offence, the laws of the five elements were not as great as the Laws of the Sword, the Laws of Destruction, and so on. After all, those were the laws with the greatest offensive power.

Moreover, the Laws of Water possessed some of the weakest offensive power among the five elements, so when the mid Godking’s strike collided with Jian Chen, his attack directly exploded. Meanwhile, Jian Chen, who had become a sword, continued onwards without slowing down, cutting off the mid Godking’s head.

The mid Godking’s face changed drastically as surprise filled his eyes. Immediately, he abandoned his body and controlled his head to fly up. He made his way towards the entrance of the garden as he opened his mouth wide during that time. He seemed to be shrieking out while fear filled his face.

However, as his head had separated from his body, he was unable to produce any sounds at all. His face was completely warped from excruciating pain.

Suddenly, the top of his head exploded, and a soul fled from there. It emitted a series of mental pulses, allowing everyone in the garden to hear the painful screams the soul gave out.

A strand of sword Qi had already invaded his soul, rapidly wreaking havoc. It made him go through hellish pain.

In just a few seconds, the Godking’s soul was completely destroyed under everyone’s gazes, making it completely disperse.

As for Jian Chen, he had already returned to the barrier of energy as he stared at everyone emotionlessly.

He said nothing. Instead, his silent coldness and powerful battle intent pressured the Godkings in the garden drastically. Many of them looked at him differently now.

At this moment, Jian Chen seemed like an undefeatable god of war in everyone’s eyes. He seemed like an undying devil. He was clearly unimaginably injured, yet his battle prowess was still surprising. It made many people shiver.
