Chapter 1516 - The Second Move

Chapter 1516: The Second Move

The demons who would appear on the third floor couldn’t be judged in the same way as the first and second floor demons.

This group of demons numbered in the tens of thousands, and there were countless earth demons and Earth Demon Kings among them. There were even some celestial demons!

However, it was fortunate that among them there wasn’t an Earth Demon Emperor who possessed a domain or a demon who had gone through advancement and become a Great Celestial Demon.

“So, let’s see how amazing the Buddhist School disciple is.”

Left Blade and Right Sword took the lead, and they used their blade and sword to release a divine might great enough to tear the world apart. They managed to easily change the group of demons’ paths.

Meanwhile, the three Demon Slayer Palace disciples also started taking action because they were ordered to by Cao Ze.

After a short while, most of the demons had been driven toward Jiang Chen.

“It’s so amazing,” Jiang Chen said to himself. These people’s powers were beyond his imagination, and none of them was an ordinary Martial Saint.

If it was him or Xuan Qing who had run into this group of demons, they would have had to go to a lot of trouble to deal with them.

Thereupon, the people next to Jiang Chen backed off, and they left him alone to deal with the demons, while Xuan Qing was pulled back by Murong Yanran.

Jiang Chen was facing countless demons, even celestial demons were among them.

However, it was fortunate that Left Blade, Right Sword, and the Demon Slayer Palace disciples hadn’t managed to drive all the demons toward him.

At this moment, Jiang Chen raised both his hands, and a Buddhist Light with a rose gold color emanated from him, illuminating the world. The reason why its color was rosy was because of the Holy Flame. This special Buddhist Light had been formed by the fusion of fire and golden radiance.

“He’s quite skilled,” Cao Ze nodded. He was a Demon Slayer Palace disciple, and he could discern that Jiang Chen had great attainments in Buddhist techniques. But they would still have to see how broad was his comprehension of them.

“Let me see how amazing a Buddhist School disciple is.”

However, an incident suddenly occurred because Xia Jiang couldn’t contain his desire for slaughter, and he attacked suddenly. He didn’t go after Jiang Chen, but he targeted the demons.

This was why nearly all the demons ended up being driven toward Jiang Chen, and this occurrence was obviously beyond everyone’s expectations.

The Left Blade, Right Sword, and Demon Slayer Palace disciples had undertaken their previous attacks after getting tacit approval, and they believed that the test was suitable to examine Jiang Chen’s skills.

But Xia Jiang’s actions made this test unfair for a late-stage Martial Emperor.

Xuan Qing snorted coldly and was about to intervene and fight. But she was obstructed by Cao Ze and Murong Yanran.

“Junior sister, this danger will let us get a clear look at his worth, as we don’t want to bring a burden with us,” Cao Ze said.

“But he will die,” Xuan Qing, whose emotions were stirred up, spoke.

“Wouldn’t that be the most ideal outcome?” Cao Ze said to himself. If Jiang Chen couldn’t deal with the demons and ended up killed by them, he would be spared from the trouble of having to kill him himself so that he wouldn’t divulge any secrets.

“Just set your mind at ease, I will look after him,” Cao Ze comforted Xuan Qing, even though it was a completely hypocritical lie.

In the end, he would just have to say that he had underestimated the demons’ power.

Murong Yanran, who had the gift of the gab, also kept silent, as her target was really Xuan Qing, just as Jiang Chen had said.

“Holy Seal First Move: World-Purifying Holy Flame!”

Jiang Chen folded his hands before he spread them and formed a triangle with his left and right hands’ thumbs and index fingers. The holy flames erupted out from his fingers and flew forward violently. They swept all the demons like a raging wave.

All the demons that came in contact with the flames let out miserable cries, and they were all mercilessly erased thoroughly from the world by the holy flames.

Even a celestial demon couldn’t persist for more than ten seconds within the holy flames.

A large number of demons were dying, but the demons behind them were still advancing wave upon wave. They weren’t afraid of death!

The holy flames’ might started weakening gradually.

“Holy Seal Second Move: Tathagata Holy Flame!”

Jiang Chen wore the same expression as before, though he weaved different hand signs. He lowered his left hand, while he formed a lotus image with his right hand’s fingers.

When he raised his arm high, Buddhist Light emanated from it, and it was so dazzling that the people in the vicinity had to close their eyes.

After the first move’s holy flames had been scattered, he stretched his hand forward while facing the advancing demons, and it seemed then that his fingertips were able to penetrate the void.

A Buddha phantom image came out of Jiang Chen’s body, and a sea of flames was formed among the Buddhist Light’s scope. One didn’t even have to look into the flame’s might, as just the boundless power contained in this technique alone was able to distort space. It seemed like space would collapse and crack open.

Afterward, a whirling, crazy holy flames appeared, and it went after the demons as it revolved around.

This time, the demons weren’t burned to ashes in a short while, they were instantly turned to ashes by the flames’ might. This great batch of demons disappeared thoroughly in the twinkling of an eye.

After Jiang Chen had finished this, he put his hands close together. The Buddhist Light disappeared, while a heatwave remained in the land for a long time.

HISS!

The ten people observing this sight were taken aback, and they stood in a daze for a long time. When they came back to their senses, they all took a deep breath of cold air.

Jiang Chen attacked one time after another and killed all the demons efficiently. They certainly didn’t expect this.

Even if Xia Jiang hadn’t caused more trouble for Jiang Chen, they had all believed that Jiang Chen would find himself in a flurry, and he would cut a sorry figure.

They certainly didn’t expect that he would be so forceful and tyrannical.

“I have never heard about a Buddhist Power like this.”

“Has the Buddhist School become stronger?”

They all just stared at each other, and they couldn’t come up with suitable words to express their shock.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath. He was exhausted, and the power of his Celestial Phoenix’s bloodline was also exhausted.

Jiang Chen had already comprehended all seven moves of the Holy Seal, but he couldn’t use them smoothly because he was restricted by his realm level.

When he had forcefully used the second move a while ago, he had almost ended up using up all the Golden Solar Flames he had, while even the Sky-burning Flame’s main source was affected

As for the Celestial Phoenix’s bloodline that was closely related to fire, it seemed like it had also lost something.

“Many thanks for your help.”

However, Jiang Chen obviously wasn’t so stupid that he would reveal anything, and he just wore a composed look before he looked at the Young Sovereign who had changed his appearance.

Xia Jiang had witnessed his failure to kill Jiang Chen, and he wasn’t willing to accept this. He was shocked by Jiang Chen’s performance, but he still didn’t believe that Jiang Chen could use the Buddhist Power to contend against him.

“Once I find a suitable opportunity, you will suffer a miserable death,” Xia Jiang said to himself.

If Xia Jiang had wanted to attack, this moment was a good occasion and opportunity. But he didn’t want to expose his identity.

“If my memory serves me well, your name should be Xia Jiang, isn’t it?”

The next second, Xia Jiang was shaken as if he had suffered a hit by a lightning bolt, and he looked in disbelief at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, “What? It was you who gave a card representing my status as a Young Sovereign, don’t you remember?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Xia Jiang didn’t believe that his disguise had any flaws, and when he looked at Cao Ze out of the corner of his eye, he ascertained that the latter hadn’t divulged his identity. This was why he replied confidently and boldly.

“Is that the case?”

Jiang Chen extended his hand into his Storage Spirit Artifact, and, after a moment, a longbow appeared in his hand. It seemed like this bow was made out of gold, and it emanated a boundless aura. As for its bowstring? It didn’t seem like it had a bowstring, and one would have to observe the bow carefully to notice it.

This was obviously the Human Emperor Bow!

Xia Jiang’s expression changed drastically. He had already changed his appearance, but the expressions plastered on his face would still change as usual.

Upon witnessing his reaction, an ice-cold glint flickered in Jiang Chen’s black eyes.

The reason why he had managed to discern Xia Jiang’s identity was quite simple. Jiang Chen knew only a few people among the Young Sovereigns who went to the Martial Field, and he didn’t have a feud with any of them.

But it so happened that he remembered a certain Xia Jiang. This guy revealed his murderous aura and rancor without bothering about hiding them, and this was a grave mistake.

Xia Jiang’s expression changed constantly, while his breathing turned rough.

“It’s up to me to determine who you are.”

It was only when Cao Ze’s voice rang out near Xia Jiang’s ear that he calmed down. Cao Ze wasn’t mistaken. It was still fine as long as he didn’t admit anything because Jiang Chen didn’t have any proof.

If the Demon Slayer Palace didn’t testify, who would believe Jiang Chen?
