Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2153: The Person Behind it All (One)

A few days later, Jian Chen and the others tidied themselves up and set off once again. They headed off towards the twelfth floor.

Very soon, they arrived on the seventh floor. They slowed down at this moment, and they all became cautious. Even the most powerful of the group, Shui Yunlan and Audriana, did not dare to be careless.

“A few days have passed. I wonder what’s the outcome of the battle between the supreme Godkings and the lizard.” Jian Chen stopped sternly several hundred thousand kilometres away from the entrance to the eighth floor. He stared ahead with some worry. The senses of his soul shot out and flooded the region ahead of him rapidly, enveloping a range of a million kilometres instantly.

“Wait here. I’ll go check on the situation up ahead,” Jian Chen said to everyone. With that, he shot off with lightning speed, vanishing from before everyone. He travelled tens of thousand kilometres in a matter of seconds.

Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Rui Di, Zhi Ye, Shangguan Mu’er, Ming Dong and so on all remained where they were subconsciously. They gazed in Jian Chen’s direction from high up in the sky as the senses of their souls appeared, surging ahead to observe what was happening there.

Clearly, they all knew that Jian Chen had drawn out an extremely terrifying lizard from the lava on the eighth floor. Against a lizard that had reached late Infinite Prime, even the supreme Godkings who ranked high up on the Godkings’ Throne did not have confidence in dealing with it. As a result, they were all extremely vigilant.

“There are people near the entrance, and there’s quite a few of them. Let’s go up and have a look as well,” Audriana dispersed the senses of her soul and said to the people beside her.

Afterwards, they all flew in the direction that Jian Chen had left in.

Over twenty Godkings sat scattered around the entrance to the eighth floor. All of them were pale and haggard. Their clothes were tattered, and even the supreme quality saint artifacts armor of some supreme Godkings had been damaged or destroyed, revealing their skin that had been charred black.

Clearly, all of them were heavily injured. Half of them only had half of their lives left. There were even a handful of people who seemed like they were at the gates of death, where their life force dimmed. Many of them were missing limbs.

It was also because of the severity of their injuries that many of them were powerless to keep moving. They did not even have the energy to find an obscure place to heal. They could only scatter themselves at the entrance, maintaining a certain distance from one another as they healed through high grade pills.

Suddenly, a streak of light shot through the air like a comet. It covered a great distance in a split second and immediately arrived near the entrance to the eighth floor. It turned into a young man with a striking appearance.

The arrival of this person alarmed the healing Godkings. When they opened their eyes and saw who it was, all of their faces changed. Fury filled their eyes. Clearly, they hated this person to their bones.

“Jian Chen, how dare you come here…”

“Jian Chen, you sly, despicable man. You’ve caused the deaths of hundreds of supreme Godkings. You deserve a horrible death…”

“You need to pay a heavy price for your actions. There is no longer anywhere safe for you in the Saints’ World…”

…

Half of the Godkings there bellowed out. They all gritted their teeth. They hated Jian Chen from the bottom of their heart.

The other half stared at Jian Chen closely. They were cautious, ready to flee at any time.

Jian Chen snorted coldly in response to the furious curses. He said sternly, “In order to hunt me down, hundreds of supreme Godkings went as far as to chase me from the twelfth floor to the fifth floor before going back to the eighth floor. May I ask if I’ve ever offended you? Have I ever provoked you? Are only you lot allowed to hunt me down while I’m not supposed to do anything in retaliation?”

“If you had just handed over the girl in a straightforward manner, would there be anyone who would continue making things difficult for you? You brought this all on yourself,” said a supreme Godking. Even though he was very injured, his gaze was still ice-cold.

“I brought this all on myself? Hahaha, then can’t I say you brought this all on yourselves as well? If you hadn’t forced me like this, and if you hadn’t tried to hunt me down mercilessly, how would you have ended up like this?” Jian Chen gradually drew closer as he said that. His face was cold, and his eyes slowly shone with intense killing intent. He said frigidly, “If I lost, I would have probably been reduced to a cold corpse long ago. Unfortunately, from the looks of things, I’m not the one who lost. Instead, you lost. As a result, the people who should become corpses are you lot.” Jian Chen held the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways in his hand. It shone with faint starlight. As the might of the god artifact was gradually unleashed, the light shone brighter and brighter, just like a star.

All the supreme Godkings before him were heavily injured. Clearly, they were in no shape to retaliate. Jian Chen was ready to kill them.

“Jian Chen, they can’t pose a threat to you anymore, so just let them go. Don’t kill them all off,” at this moment, Audriana’s voice rang out from behind. She, Shui Yunlan, and the others had caught up from behind.

“If you let them go, the news about her majesty will definitely be revealed even faster. Kill them all,” Shui Yunlan said coldly.

Audriana stared at Shui Yunlan furiously and said, “There must have been quite a lot of people who left the Neptunean Divine Palace in the past few days. It’s impossible to hide everything that happened in here from the outsiders. Your existence has probably already reached the outside. Killing them would be useless.”

Audriana paused before glancing past the supreme Godkings, “And I’m certain that even if you try to kill them, you can’t get all of them. As long as one of them escapes, the deaths of the others will be learnt by their various clans and organisations. Major clans and organisations all stand behind these people. They might even be famed, peak organisations in the Saints’ World. If the people behind them learn that the supreme prodigies they nurtured with so much effort died to your hands, they’ll never spare you. The entire Saints’ World might end up hunting you down.”

“Many Godkings have already died on the eighth floor to that lizard. Their deaths are directly related to me, so the organisations behind them will definitely come looking for me. I’ve already offended so many major organisations, so it won’t hurt to offend a few more,” said Jian Chen.

“That’s different.” Audriana shook her head gently, “Although the deaths of those people are related to you, you still didn’t kill them personally. Moreover, the fact that the Neptunean Divine Palace has been hiding such a powerful lizard in the lava has taken everyone by surprise. They weren’t expecting it. As a result, as long as our God clan intervenes in this matter and speaks up for you, they might not look into it anymore. If the people from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng are willing to step forward as well, it would be even better.”
