Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2035: Chapter 2038: The Burden Is Too Heavy to Bear!

Returning to the stone chamber, everyone’s faces turned extremely unsightly.

At this moment, the stone chamber was filled with severed limbs; those who hadn’t retreated to the passage earlier had all perished under the explosion of sword intent.

”Young Island Master!”

A cry of shock rang out as a Wuyou Island cultivator at the Divine Infant Realm Peak looked pale at the half of a head on the ground.

Zheng Ping, being closest to the wall, had no chance to enter the passage and was torn to pieces by the sword intent, leaving only half his head relatively intact.

”Young Master Jiang, what on earth is going on?”

Wu Zhen furrowed his brows tightly, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

”Are you asking me?”

Jiang Chen coldly glared back at Wu Zhen, ”Isn’t your Wu Family familiar with this tomb? Do you not know there are formations here?”

”I knew there were formations, but...”

Wu Zhen reflexively explained.

”If you knew there were formations, why not say so?”

Jiang Chen didn’t give Wu Zhen the chance to finish speaking.

”Wu Zhen, go die!”

The Wuyou Island cultivator at the Divine Infant Realm Peak roared in rage, moving to charge at Wu Zhen.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Wu Clan cultivators around Wu Zhen released powerful auras, surrounding Wu Zhen in the center, watching the Wuyou Island cultivator with wary expressions.

”Enough!”

Jiang Chen shouted sharply, sweeping a cold gaze over everyone, ”Do you still want to fight? Are you trying to cause more deaths?”

The crowd, hearing this, settled in their hearts, and Pang Guang quickly stepped forward to block in front of the Wuyou Island cultivator, speaking in a deep voice, ”Let’s clear things up first.”

The Wuyou Island cultivator glared fiercely at Wu Zhen, then turned to Jiang Chen, ”Young Master Jiang, what on earth is going on? Why didn’t anything happen when you attacked the wall, but it did when the Young Island Master did?”

”Because he used a Great Dao Attack!”

Jiang Chen spoke coldly, ”There are hidden formations in this stone chamber; only spiritual power can be used, not Great Dao attacks. Once a Great Dao attack is used, it will directly trigger the formation, killing everyone in the stone chamber!”

”Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Wu Zhen coldly stared at Jiang Chen.

”I wanted to warn you, but did Zheng Ping give me a chance to finish speaking?”

Jiang Chen replied indifferently.

Everyone furrowed their brows, recalling that Jiang Chen indeed tried to warn them earlier, but Zheng Ping had launched an attack before he could finish speaking.

”Wu Zhen, why didn’t you tell us in advance that there are formations here?”

Zhao Tianming spoke with a pale face; he had stood very close to Zheng Ping and was the last to enter the passage. If he’d been a step later, he too would have been torn apart.

He now harbored a strong sense of fear and immense anger in his heart.

”I... I didn’t expect Zheng Ping to attack suddenly, and to my knowledge, the formation here isn’t triggered this way!”

Wu Zhen’s eyes showed a hint of panic as he hurriedly explained.

”Then how is it triggered?”

Jiang Chen looked at Wu Zhen, expressionless.

Wu Zhen’s face changed; he glanced at Jiang Chen but did not explain.

”What? Afraid to say? Or did you intentionally not mention the formation here to get us killed?”

Jiang Chen pressed forward step by step.

Everyone’s eyes showed a glimmer of coldness as they fixed their stares on Wu Zhen.

”Just this time, we’ve lost two-thirds of our people. Wu Zhen, are you still planning to hide what you know?”

Jiang Chen questioned sharply once more.

Originally, over fifty people from various major forces had entered, but now only a dozen or so remained!

Wuyou Island suffered the most, as they were closest to Zheng Ping, near the sword intent’s explosion, and farthest from the passage, leaving only that one Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator. Lingtian Pavilion had three remaining, and Heavenly Sword Sect had three left including Chen Jingxuan.

People from Canghai Trade Alliance, having gone to Jiang Chen’s side with Pang Guang, followed him. When Jiang Chen charged towards the passage entrance, Pang Guang reflexively followed; they didn’t lose a single person and still had five sword cultivators.

The alliance composed of several small forces had been nearly wiped out, leaving only two cultivators at the Divine Infant Realm Peak. Wu Family had only Wu Zhen and one Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator left, along with Jiang Chen and Yun Tao.

Out of the over fifty who came in, only eighteen remained after just the first front tomb!

”Wu Zhen, tell us everything you know!”

Zhao Tianming shouted loudly.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A chilling killing intent locked onto Wu Zhen and the Wu Family’s Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator; everyone’s eyes burned with anger.

Wu Zhen’s face went pale; he hurriedly said, ”I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”

Taking a deep breath, Wu Zhen spoke in a deep voice, ”From what I know, this formation here is indeed a Killing Array, but it doesn’t erupt from using a Great Dao attack; it erupts from using attacks other than Sword Dao. I don’t know why it’s become like this.”

Turning to look at the wall Jiang Chen had smashed with a punch, Wu Zhen spoke again, ”There’s also a formation in that passage, an Illusion Array. One needs strong willpower and a steady Dao Heart to pass through. If you can’t pass, you’ll be thrown back here from the passage; inside there is still...”

”Hold on.”

Jiang Chen interrupted Wu Zhen, ”Is there any formation inside that would separate people?”

”There’s none; after passing the tests of several formations, you’ll reach the main burial chamber. Before that, there’s no formation that separates people.”

Wu Zhen shook his head lightly.

”If that’s the case, let this senior go first! The remaining senior from Wuyou Island, my senior brother Yun Tao, Jing Xuan, Young Pavilion Master Pang, and Young Pavilion Master Zhao will go with you. Others who are worried can come with me.”

Jiang Chen looked at Wu Zhen indifferently, ”Your Wu Family’s senior goes in front; I’ll go in the middle with others, and you few bring up the rear. After each formation, you’ll tell us about the next one so you don’t dump everything on us at once and risk us forgetting, alright?”

Wu Zhen’s face changed, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen, ”What do you mean? Are you trying to take me as a hostage?”

”A hostage? You’re overthinking it; I just want to ensure everyone’s safety!”

Jiang Chen spoke blandly.

”I agree for Heavenly Sword Sect!”

”I agree for Wuyou Island!”

”I agree for the Canghai Trade Alliance!”

”I agree for Lingtian Pavilion!”

”We also agree!”

Except for Wu Zhen and the other Wu Family member, all the other forces voiced their agreement, and all eyes were on Wu Zhen.

”I can agree, but I have one condition. I want to...”

Wu Zhen clenched his teeth, speaking harshly.

”You have no right to set conditions.”

Jiang Chen decisively interrupted Wu Zhen, ”Because of your concealment, so many people died, and you still want to set a condition?”

”It wasn’t me who got them killed, it was Zheng Ping!”

Wu Zhen’s face changed, quickly arguing.

Here, people from major forces had died; he couldn’t dare to take the blame.

The blame is too big; it would crush a person!
