Chapter 715: Jiang Chen (2/2)

“It’s just a little turtle shell, you two aren’t going to last long!” A malicious voice came from outside the formation, tinged with mockery and derision.

Lin Xuan threw up more blood with a reddened face upon hearing the voice, and the defensive formations he’d struggled to create shattered instantly.

A gray-haired man dressed in black long robe appeared before the Lin brothers. He was tall and thin, his facial features devilish and eerie. An evil smile constantly played at his lips, but his eyes were unusually cold and devoid of life.

“Jiangchen Xie!” Lin Xuan snapped out.

The man was the top genius of the Jiangchen Clan from Truespirit Major, and he’d sensed the existence of the void realm twenty thousand years ago. However, his presence felt completely different now. The Hadal Bonefire hidden in him had disappeared completely.

Jiangchen Xie walked toward Lin Xuan and loomed over him, his voice cold as he said, “You’re a valued follower of Lu Yun’s, aren’t you? A rare formation grandmaster who can create formations without foundation. Do you think Lu Yun will lament your loss if I kill the two of you?”

Vicious light burst out from Jiangchen Xie’s eyes when he mentioned Lu Yun. He was, in fact, Jiang Chen, forefather of the Jiangchen Clan!

As the successor of the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign, Jiangchen Xie had reached great heights with his Hadal Bone Method, becoming a treasured protege of the demon sovereign.

Yin Jiuying had once prevented Jiang Chen from taking over Jiangchen Xie’s body, but the zombie had taken advantage of a slip in attention when Yin Jiuying fought Holy Lord Ashu outside the realm.

There wasn’t anything Yin Jiuying could do after his return.

Although Jiang Chen’s cultivation was also suppressed to the august immortal realm, he was so powerful that even unleashing his aura was enough to critically injure Lin Xuan.

“Who do you think you’re going to kill?” demanded a steely voice. Lu Yun stepped between the two of them to protect Lin Xuan. “Well, well, I was wondering who it could be. It’s the old zombie, and you’ve possessed your own junior!”

Lu Yun’s Spectral Eye revealed Jiangchen Xie’s true condition. His true spirit and soul had been devoured by Jiang Chen; the old man had fully taken over the body.

“Lu Yun!!” Jiang Chen’s eyes blazed with fury as they settled on the newcomer.

He’d been defeated by Lu Yun’s then golden immortal replica outside Dusk Province, leaving him struggling for life with only a head. Jiang Chen took great offense at that and thus lost his temper as soon as Lu Yun appeared.

Bam!

Yellowish-gray corpse energy flared as he made a move; his hands had turned into beastly claws. Alarmed, Lu Yun grabbed the Lin brothers and quickly retreated. The old zombie was too powerful for him to face head-on.

When they’d fought outside Dusk Province, the old zombie had been powerful, but he could at most rival an old-school dao immortal after his resurrection. Now, however, he’d possessed Jiangchen Xie, a void-ascended immortal!

Lu Yun quickly sent two healing talismans into the Lin brothers’ bodies to stabilize their condition. Then, he summoned the Sugato Sword with another wave of his hand, sending curtains of light cascading down to deter Jiang Chen.

“You should’ve been grateful that I spared your life, Jiang Chen, but look at you trying for revenge. I will fully end you this time!”

Bam!

Brilliant radiance burst out of the Sugato Sword and took shape as dark cyan swords, slashing at Jiang Chen from overhead.

Sword dao!

It was no longer Violetgrave’s sword dao, but a sword dao belonging wholly to Lu Yun himself!
