Chapter 2082: Returning to the Eighth Floor (1/2)

The Profound Sword Qi moved just too quickly. It was so fast that Gong Zheng was unable to respond to it. He could only watch on as the finger-sized sword Qi approached his forehead at an unbelievable speed.

Spurt!

Like a hot knife through butter, the Profound Sword Qi tore through Gong Zheng’s layers of protection and punctured his forehead, striking his soul.

Immediately, Gong Zheng experienced excruciating pain in his soul. He could not help but produce a heart-wrenching scream, and he even struggled to remain afloat. He struggled along the way as he directly fell to the ground, landing heavily.

Gong Zheng was a supreme Godking from the Godkings’ Throne. Not only was his strength great, but his soul was powerful as well, so he did not die after receiving Jian Chen’s Profound Sword Qi.

However, his soul was heavily injured, making it impossible for him to recover quickly. He was incapacitated.

Originally, Jian Chen wanted to pursue and kill Gong Zheng off for good because in his current state, he could not fight back at all. Let alone Godkings, but even an Overgod could kill him.

However, after he looked over at the three powerful presences in the distance that rapidly grew closer, Jian Chen could not help but give up on that thought. Even though killing Gong Zheng would only take a split second, that split second could determine life or death.

Nearby, Cang Ying’s face paled slightly when he personally witnessed Gong Zheng’s fate. His gaze towards Jian Chen was filled with deep fear.

However, in the next moment, Cang Ying’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Dread filled his face as he saw a second strand of Profound Sword Qi above Jian Chen’s head. Jian Chen looked over, and the Profound Sword Qi targeted him.

With Gong Zheng’s fate presented right before him, Cang Ying’s fear towards the Profound Sword Qi had risen to the point where he was frightened by the attack or even terrified of it. Seeing how Jian Chen was about to send the second strand of Profound Sword Qi his way, he shot backwards without any hesitation, basically out of reflex. Azure light flickered around him as he unleashed his full speed, arriving ten thousand kilometers away in a single instance. He looked at Jian Chen from there as his heart was filled with fear and caution. He was already ready to flee at any time.

Originally, Jian Chen wanted to use the second strand of Profound Sword Qi to heavily injure Cang Ying, but seeing how he had already retreated to over ten thousand kilometers away, he was no longer in Jian Chen’s way, which was naturally something Jian Chen wished to see. He stowed the second strand of sword Qi away immediately and quickly fled with Kai Ya.

Jian Chen did not want to use the Profound Sword Qi if he did not have to because every time he used a strand, it would drain a great deal of the power of his soul and would affect his battle prowess. Cang Ying and mister Shu were not his only opponents, as there were also many other people who had gathered here for his treasures.

As a result, he had to preserve some strength against the many Godkings in the surroundings when he fought Cang Ying and mister Shu.

But right now, several supreme Godkings were gathering here, which made Jian Chen feel great danger. He could only use the Profound Sword Qi, as he had no other choice.

Even though he had only used a single strand of Profound Sword Qi, it had drained a third of the power of Jian Chen’s soul. Immediately, he experienced a weak sense of dizziness.
