Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2024: Chapter 2027: Flaw?

The wine-crazed Elder didn’t blame Jiang Chen at all for using him to intimidate everyone.

He understood that Jiang Chen’s words were not just directed at Lin Yuyan, but also a reminder to himself that he needed to become stronger!

”Jiang Chen, can you break through now?”

Yun Tao looked at Jiang Chen curiously, and Jiang Chen’s spontaneous words prompted him to ask the question he had been holding back.

Ever since he first sensed Jiang Chen’s aura, he felt that Jiang Chen could break through at any moment. However, so much time had passed, and he still hadn’t done so, leaving Yun Tao quite puzzled.

Now, hearing Jiang Chen’s own admission about the need to become stronger, Yun Tao couldn’t help but ask.

”I can, but it’s not enough! I’ll explain once we leave here.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then turned and walked straight into the black mist.

”Jiang Chen, do you intend to take all the treasures in the tomb for yourself?”

Tang Lin suddenly shouted.

Buzz!

A terrifying aura erupted suddenly, and the wine-crazed Elder looked coldly at Tang Lin, not hiding the murderous intent in his eyes at all.

”Are you an idiot? I’m only at the Semi Divine Infant Realm, and you think I can take all the treasures here myself? Don’t use such a base tactic to incite hatred against me. It only brings shame to the Heavenly Sword Sect!”

A mocking voice drifted out from the black mist.

Even though everyone was in the thinnest part of the black mist, Jiang Chen had only just entered, and one could barely see his faint silhouette as he spoke and walked forward.

When the voice ended, Jiang Chen’s figure was no longer visible from the outside.

”Tang Lin, if Young Jiang dies inside, you won’t walk out of this black forest alive!”

The wine-crazed Elder spoke coldly, without regard for Tang Lin being the Vice Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Tang Lin’s face changed, and he looked at the wine-crazed Elder in horror, instinctively stepping back.

He was only at the Late Virtual Refinement Realm, and if the wine-crazed Elder wanted to kill him, it would only take a wave of the hand!

”Elder Wine, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Exploring a tomb is inherently dangerous, so if...”

Chen Zhenhua spoke up, trying to explain for Tang Lin.

”Shut up!”

The wine-crazed Elder snapped, turning to look at the black mist and no longer paying attention to Chen Zhenhua.

Chen Zhenhua’s face changed, and he closed his mouth dejectedly.

Tang Lin’s face turned several shades of color, filled with deep regret. He knew his earlier words wouldn’t necessarily cause people from other factions to target Jiang Chen, but what if they did?

However, he never expected that his moment of venting would tie his own life to Jiang Chen’s. He didn’t doubt for a second whether the wine-crazed Elder would make good on his threat, as the chilling murderous intent emanating from the Elder made it very clear that he absolutely would!

At this moment, in a twist of irony, the person who most wanted Jiang Chen dead now became the one who most wished for his survival in the tomb!

”Divine Infant Realm Early Stage Sword Path Disciple, go in and take a look.”

Zhao Wenquan suddenly spoke.

Two Divine Infant Realm Early Stage disciples from Lingtian Pavilion, who specialized in the Sword Dao, immediately stepped forward and headed into the black mist.

”Sword Path Disciple...”

”Divine Infant Early Stage...”

In a flash, all the factions sent their Divine Infant Realm Early Stage disciples into the black mist, as no one wanted to fall behind.

Within the black mist.

Jiang Chen stepped into the black mist, and his eyes suddenly brightened. The Sword Dao aura here was nearly ten times richer than outside.

Suppressing the urge to sit down and comprehend the Great Dao, Jiang Chen continued to move forward.

He could not cultivate here. If he comprehended the Great Dao here with his Semi Divine Infant Realm strength, it would surely reveal his identity as the ’Son of Heavenly Dao.’

The wine-crazed Elder had once warned him that the talent of a ’Son of Heavenly Dao’ was too extraordinary, and not everyone would welcome the appearance of one among the students of Canglin Academy. He must not let anyone discover his identity until he reached the academy, and even then, he must keep it a secret.

The three major forces dared to publicize the existence of the Son of Heavenly Dao within their spheres because they had brought their Heaven’s Child back to headquarters.

The Academy Alliance had an inviolable rule: the Six Great Academies did not directly recruit students from outside; they selected from branch schools, and every academy student had to stay at the academy for at least three years before entering the Six Great Academies.

At the time, Jiang Chen didn’t understand why such a rule existed, and even the wine-crazed Elder couldn’t explain, only saying it was a rigid rule established by the Deans of the Six Great Academies at the time of the Academy Alliance’s formation.

Jiang Chen speculated that something significant must have happened back then, prompting the Deans to set such a regulation.

Swoosh!

As Jiang Chen was lost in thought, a cold killing intent suddenly appeared.

Jiang Chen was startled, and a distinguished Great Dao Aura emanated from him.

Buzz!

A gleaming sword shadow appeared before Jiang Chen, standing vertically and blocking his heart.

Clang!

As soon as the sword shadow appeared, a crisp sound echoed, and the sword shadow vibrated violently. A chilling killing intent burst forth from in front of the sword shadow, aimed right at Jiang Chen’s heart.

Jiang Chen felt a sharp pain from the killing intent, his body trembling with a shiver, and cold sweat broke out all over him. His expression instantly turned serious.

Before the crisis struck, he had not sensed any fluctuations, not even a hint of forewarning. The attack appeared so suddenly right in front of him. Were it not for the countless times he had walked the line between life and death on Earth, honing an extremely acute sense of danger, that burst of killing intent would have pierced his heart in an instant.

After the crisp sound, the killing intent vanished as suddenly as it had come.

Swoosh!

Jiang Chen dispersed the sword shadow and, holding a Spiritual Longsword in his hand, remained fully on guard, advancing cautiously.

Swoosh!

The sense of crisis returned, and Jiang Chen swung his sword fiercely to the side.

Shiii!

A tearing sound echoed as the formidable killing intent emerged again, disappearing just as quickly.

”Is this the Wuying Sword Path? It’s truly elusive!”

Jiang Chen muttered seriously.

Invisible, formless, silent, traceless!

Both attacks had come so abruptly and unexpectedly. This kind of Sword Path was simply an assassination’s sharpest edge!

”Ah!”

”What’s that!?”

”Who?”

Shouts rang out from behind him.

Jiang Chen glanced back, a playful smile curling at his lips. Worried about falling behind, are you? Then try tasting the Wuying Sword Path for yourselves!

Without focusing on the commotion behind, Jiang Chen continued to move slowly forward.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The black mist around him began to vibrate, and the Great Dao pressure in the mist became overwhelmingly oppressive!

”Is this... the flaw Elder Wine mentioned?”

Jiang Chen frowned, feeling as if he bore the weight of a mountain on his back.

What kind of tomb is this? Even before entering it, it’s so troublesome?!

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but inwardly complain.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Jiang Chen sensed something amiss. The threat that lingered around him had vanished!
