Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

"He’s actually fine?"

"How can his body be so strong?"

"He took so many attacks head-on and is completely unscathed. Is this guy a member of the True Dragon Race in human form?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This included Li Yunlong, Luo Qing, and Third Elder Zong Han, who had all confidently sworn that Jiang Chen was doomed to fail. They were all utterly speechless. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

A brilliant gleam flashed in the Tower Guardian Elder’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. "Worthy of being Elder Qi’s disciple. This kid is truly astonishing! But... can he really have the last laugh while fighting five hundred Celestial Alliance experts at once?"

He smiled and looked at Third Elder Zong Han. "Elder Zong, perhaps you’ll really have to eat that table soon!"

As he spoke, the Tower Guardian Elder lightly tapped the Cyan Gang Rock table, producing a crisp TAP TAP sound. He feigned surprise and said, "This thing is quite hard. It might be difficult to digest!"

"Hmph!"

Third Elder Zong Han snorted coldly. His eyes darted to the stone table, his expression incredibly grim. "It’s not over yet. Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions."

"Hahaha, then we’ll just have to wait and see what happens!"

The Tower Guardian Elder smiled faintly.

Within the Tower Guardian Elder’s deep eyes, as calm as the water in an ancient well, a flicker of anticipation actually appeared.

「At the same time...」

On Blood Battle Arena number thirty-two, Jiang Chen held his Qingfeng Sword, his gaze cold as he stared at the five hundred people before him. He walked forward at a leisurely pace. With each step, a sentence left his lips: "This first strike is because you are members of the Celestial Alliance!"

SWOOSH—

His sword slashed through the air, releasing a storm of Sword Qi that rampaged forward with explosive force.

Wherever the Storm Sword Qi passed, the weapons in the hands of the Celestial Alliance experts were sent flying. The terrifying Storm Sword Qi continuously eroded and devoured their bodies. Streaks of fresh blood shot through the air, flesh flew, and agonizing screams rose one after another. All who were touched by Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi were doomed.

They were all reduced to piles of shredded meat.

That single strike killed more than a dozen people!

"This second strike is because you bully the weak!"

As the second sentence left his lips, he took another step forward and swept his longsword horizontally.

A fan-shaped wave of Sword Qi shot out, hugging the hard surface of the arena floor and covering an area holding more than twenty Celestial Alliance experts.

"Aaargh..."

"My legs..."

"My back is broken..."

"I don’t want to die..."

One expert after another screamed in agony.

Under the sweep of the fan-shaped Sword Qi, their legs were severed at the knees, they were sliced in two at the waist, or they were directly ground into mincemeat.

The fresh blood and flesh paved a glaring, crimson-red carpet!

Jiang Chen walked forward on this red carpet, his face devoid of expression. His lips parted slightly. "This third strike is me collecting some interest for Afa!"

"Gale Break!"

A sphere of Sword Qi materialized in the air like a constantly expanding balloon, its diameter reaching twenty to thirty zhang. Like a small sun, it shot forward and landed in the middle of more than fifty Celestial Alliance experts. Then, the sphere of Sword Qi violently exploded.

A terrifying Sword Qi Storm erupted from the ground, forming a horrifying Sword Qi Tornado.

SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT...

The Sword Qi Tornado’s power was terrifying, sweeping one Celestial Alliance expert after another into the air. Unrivaled Sword Qi tore through them, and severed limbs, shredded flesh, and internal organs... all of it rained down from the sky.

This single strike claimed over fifty lives!

"How is this possible? H-He’s too strong!"

"C-Can we really defeat a Killing God like him?"

"I don’t want to fight anymore! I forfeit... Referee, I forf—" one of the experts screamed like a madman.

However, the only answer he received was the cold gleam of Jiang Chen’s sword. A flash of lightning-fast steel swept past, and a large head flew into the air. Jiang Chen stomped on the head, his icy gaze fixed on the referee as he spoke, word by word, "Before the battle began, you announced that forfeiting was not allowed in this fight. You’d better not bend the rules for anyone. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing you as well!"

"You..."

The referee’s face was the definition of grim, and his entire body was trembling. "Lawless! You are utterly lawless!"

"Lawless? I like the sound of that," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

As he spoke, his Qingfeng Sword claimed the lives of another ten Celestial Alliance experts.

All of this takes a while to describe, but in reality, only a few breaths of time had passed.

Within those few breaths, he had unleashed three strikes.

He had already taken nearly a hundred lives. It seemed the five hundred people on this Blood Battle Arena weren’t even enough for him to kill!

The remaining three hundred or so people were terrified out of their wits.

"Referee, I forfeit!"

"Hurry up and let me forfeit..."

Just moments ago, these Celestial Alliance experts had been swaggering about, boasting that they would be the death of Jiang Chen. But now, they were utterly petrified, chilled to the bone.

He was nothing short of a Killing God!

The referee’s face paled, and just as he was about to open his mouth to grant their request to forfeit, a sudden whistling sound cut through the air, heading straight for him on Blood Battle Arena number thirty-two.

"What?"

The referee’s expression changed, and he reflexively struck out with his palm.

BOOM—

The force of his palm was ferocious, smashing the incoming object to smithereens.

However, the instant he shattered the object, the referee was overcome with regret. It was a severed head, its eyes wide with disbelief. After he smashed it, blood rained down like a torrential storm. Gore and shredded flesh flew everywhere, splattering all over him.

"BLEAARGH..."

The referee’s face was covered in blood. He opened his mouth and found a strip of shredded flesh hanging from his lips, causing him to retch and vomit uncontrollably.

Jiang Chen’s cold voice reached his ears. "I don’t care if you’re some bullshit prodigy or an Outer Sect Elder. I, Jiang Chen, am making my position clear today: I am taking the lives of these five hundred men. For anyone who dares to stop me, I have just four words—Block me and die!"

Block me and die!

Those four simple words contained an infinite, murderous intent.

Moments earlier, before Jiang Chen had thrown that head at the referee, everyone would have treated such a threat as a joke.

But now, everyone was silent!

Even the furious referee, even Zhong Yi, who was watching from below the Blood Battle Arena with a face as black as the bottom of a wok, obediently kept their mouths shut!

"A bunch of trash!"

Jiang Chen took in everyone’s reaction, sneered, and attacked again.

"Divine Wind Extreme!"

"Gale Break!"

"Blood Rain Without Limits..."

"One Finger Shatters the Earth..."

Jiang Chen’s attacks were like a torrential downpour, striking out relentlessly. The air above Arena 32 was filled with terrifying fluctuations of True Essence, the roar of exploding energy, and the desperate shouts and screams of the several hundred Celestial Alliance experts.

The battles on the other ninety-nine arenas had completely stopped.

The several hundred thousand people of the Outer Sect all had their attention focused on Arena 32.

There was dead silence!

Blood Battle Arena number thirty-two was now a field of corpses, with rivers of blood flowing like an Asura Field. And Jiang Chen, who wielded his Qingfeng Sword and took the lives of Celestial Alliance experts as casually as if he were taking a stroll, was like the sovereign of this Asura Field—the invincible Asura Demon King!

In just thirty breaths of time, not even half an incense stick had burned, and all five hundred people had been slain.

All dead by the Qingfeng Sword!

Standing atop a mountain of corpses in a sea of blood, Jiang Chen looked down at Zhong Yi below. He raised a finger, beckoned, and said coolly, "Zhong Yi, come up and fight!"
