Chapter 2145 - Sitting Ducks
Spurt!
The sword shone like the stars as it pierced through the forehead of the supreme Godking with lightning speed, dispersing his soul on the spot.
Jian Chen slowly drew out the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways as he looked at the corpse coldly. He showed no pity. He also removed the supreme Godking’s Space Ring.
“It’s time for me to collect some interest after being hunted down for so long,” Jian Chen muttered. As he said that, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways shone with intense starlight, and four stars seemed to appear. Then he slashed at the entrance before him.
Spurt!
When Jian Chen slashed out, a supreme Godking just happened to come down from the eighth floor like he was fleeing for his life. Before he could even react, he had been beheaded.
Immediately, blood splashed into the air.
“Jian Chen...” The supreme Godking roared out in fury and surprise. Before his soul could escape, Jian Chen’s second strike descended and cleaved his head in half, dispersing his soul as well.
Regardless of how injured the supreme Godkings were, they still possess some battle prowess, but every single one of them believed that they had escaped from the lizard when they arrived on the seventh floor successfully. They could not help but feel fortunate from escaping a disaster, so they would completely drop their guards at that moment.
However, Jian Chen was ready to deal his strongest attack at any time, so his action of sitting and waiting for them to come to him was extremely effective.
A few seconds later, another person came down from the eighth floor. Jian Chen used the same trick, giving no time for the opponent to react or prepare. His sword stabbed out with lightning speed, directly piercing the person’s forehead and killing him on the spot.
However, a total of four people had come this time. The three other people discovered Jian Chen when he killed the first person.
“Jian Chen, how dare you still remain here!” A burly man bellowed out. In particular, when he saw the person Jian Chen had killed, he immediately became furious. He roared out, “You’ve actually killed the successor of the Solitary Sword lineage, Gong Zheng! The Solitary Sword lineage will never spare you!”
Jian Chen was surprised. Because there was no one he was familiar with on the eighth floor, he had been guarding this place, and he would attack whoever that came down. He had no time to discern who they were at all.
Only after glancing now did he discover in surprise that the supreme Godking he had killed just now was actually one of the eight people who tried to hunt him down before. It was the successor of the Solitary Sword lineage, Gong Zheng.
Gong Zheng’s dazzling golden clothes were tattered, having been burnt black now. Even his entire body had almost become completely charred.
“Bai Yi, Lagunter, do it,” a burly man called out. He was Jia Na, who had protected Gong Zheng, Bai Yi, and Cang Ying earlier. With that, the two other people attacked Jian Chen at the same time.
Bai Yi’s eyes were cold. He held his iron pole and attacked Jian Chen as hard as he could without any hesitation.
Jia Na also drew his god artifact and struck out as soon as possible.
Apart from Lagunter, all three of them had god artifacts. Lagunter only used a supreme quality saint artifact.
It was three against one, so Jia Na’s side possessed an absolute advantage in numbers. Moreover, Jia Na ranked within the top hundred of the Godkings’ Throne, so he was extremely powerful.
However, all three of them were like Gong Zheng. They had been injured on the eighth floor, and their skin had been charred black, so they were naturally unable to unleash their peak strength.
Jian Chen was at his peak condition, and with the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, his battle prowess had been greatly amplified.
With these advantages and disadvantages, not only did Jian Chen put up a fight against the three of them, but he also seemed to gain the upper hand.
Spurt! After a few clashes, Jia Na vomited blood, and his face became extremely pale.
He had not been injured by Jian Chen. Instead, he had directly been smacked till he had half a life left by the lizard’s tail before. Now that he had to fight Jian Chen, it affected his wounds, causing them to worsen.
“Let’s go!” Jia Na called out. He did not dwell on the battle and fled into the distance.
“Running won’t be that easy!” Jian Chen snorted coldly. He shot out a strand of Profound Sword Qi, which caught up with Jia Na instantly. It entered his soul.
Jia Na cried out and fell from the sky. His soul had almost collapsed, so he became so heavily injured that he could not even flee.
At the same time, four huge stars conjured from Jian Chen’s Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, colliding with Bai Yi’s metal pole.
Bai Yi grunted as the flaps between his thumb and index on both hands ripped apart. His fingers shattered, and the metal pole flew out of his hands.
Jian Chen’s sword did not run out of power after knocking away Bai Yi’s god artifact. It plunged into Bai Yi’s head.
Bai Yi died just like that.
Without Jia Na and Bai Yi’s obstruction and with his own injuries, Lagunter naturally failed to last much longer, and he was slain by Jian Chen very soon.
Afterwards, Jian Chen arrived before Jia Na, who had collapsed on the ground. Jia Na was crying out as he clutched his head. Jian Chen ended his life mercilessly.
Jian Chen took Jia Na’s Space Ring and picked up his god artifact. The god artifact was a sword as wide as a hand.
Jian Chen also discovered a thumb-sized bead on Jia Na’s corpse. It was also a god artifact.
“These two god artifact should have been for both offence and defence. It looks like Jia Na could only use one of them, as he was too heavily injured,” Jian Chen murmured before picking up Bai Yi’s metal pole as well, tossing it all into the Anatta Tower.
After thinking of something, Jian Chen suddenly took out the Space Rings he had obtained. After rummaging through them, he took out over a dozen formation discs altogether. Then he made his way onto the eighth floor carefully and set up all the formation discs at the entrance with lightning speed.
Jian Chen did not even glance at his handiwork once he was done. He turned around and returned to the seventh floor.
The formation discs were either for offence or defence, and they were of impressive grades. With so many formation discs placed together by Jian Chen, it formed a barrier at the entrance to the eighth floor, preventing anyone from coming down.
“God dammit, who’s so despicable that they’ve blocked the way down...”
Jian Chen vaguely heard furious roars. He felt extremely elated.
Several supreme Godkings paled in anger when they saw the barrier created from the formation discs on the eighth floor.
“Let’s band together and destroy these formations. They can’t last for long against us,” a supreme Godking said in a hurry.
However, just when they were about to take action, the lizard glanced over. Its tongue shot out and dragged a supreme Godking into its mouth.
The other supreme Godkings all paled in fright as they fled in all directions.
“There’s no way down. Go up, quick, to the ninth floor...”
Immediately, the supreme Godkings who originally fled towards the seventh floor all charged towards the ninth.
