Chapter 3251: Facing a Grand Prime
Chapter 3251: Facing a Grand Prime
Jian Chen stared straight at the middle-aged man. A strange light filled his eyes. There was surprise and astonishment. He was very taken aback by the fact that he encountered fairy Hao Yue’s enemy here.
“Nan Potian, it’s rumoured that you’re already dead, killed by the Empyrean Demon Lord. I didn’t expect you to still be alive and with your body reconstructed. Looks like if I gave you a little more time, you would have recovered your peak strength,” Jian Chen said flatly.
Nan Potian said nothing. His face became extremely sunken, just glaring at Jian Chen silently. The cold light in his eyes became colder and colder.
Jian Chen basked in the resplendent light from the Laws of the Sword, such that he was not visible. He approached Nan Potian step by step as his presence climbed. “I owe a tremendous favour to three of the people you trapped in the formation earlier. If I hadn’t saved them in time, if Rui Di didn’t shelter them, these three seniors would probably be deceased already.”
“And fairy Hao Yue. Not only is she one of the friends that I trust the most, but she’s saved my life numerous times too. I owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to her, so any of her matters are also mine. Any of her enemies are also mine,” Jian Chen said slowly.
His voice had turned cold. By now, his tone was filled with a chilling killing intent. “As a result, whether it’s your attempt to harm seniors Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu, or fairy Hao Yue’s grievance with you, they’re both reasons why I can’t spare you.”
“With my strength, I can kill you in the blink of an eye. Even if I’m not in my peak condition, you’re definitely not my opponent. I’m just reluctant to go to such lengths as I’ve reconstructed my body recently. After all, the cost of killing you far outweighs the benefits to me. Are you really going to force me to fight?” Nan Potian said coldly. He was not particularly interested in fighting.
He had already noticed from the strength that Jian Chen demonstrated in the Heart-devouring Formation of a Myriad Ghosts that he definitely was not a regular Chaotic Prime. With his skillful performance in the Heart-devouring Formation of a Myriad Ghosts, he did not even witness all of Jian Chen’s strength.
With his current state, he was extremely confident in being able to kill Chaotic Primes, but he really did not want to pay the price for that.
He had just reconstructed his body. His body and his soul had yet to recover completely. If he went through a major battle in his current state, it was extremely likely to leave behind some side effects.
But at this moment, a streak of light shot over like a tipping galaxy, slashing through the air brilliantly.
Jian Chen cut through Nan Potian’s last shred of hope, striking without hesitation.
Facing someone that was once a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, Jian Chen did not dare to be careless. He used his full strength right from the beginning, wielding the Laws of the Sword to the limit.
“You’re biting off more than you can chew!” Nan Potian flew into a fury. His face was frigid. He radiated with bright moonlight. A moon seemed to appear behind him, giving off pure light, lifting him up like a god. He gave off a lofty presence.
He struck valiantly, without using any weapons, instead receiving the attack with his palm. Terrifying power surged, splitting open the space there. With a Grand Prime’s pressure, he directly received the sword Qi that slashed down from above.
In reality, during the crisis of the Moon God Hall, he relied on something left behind by the Flame Reverend to flee with his soul. He lost his body and all of his resources. He did not possess any god artifacts with him right now.
Let alone god artifacts, he did not even have the most basic pills or items for cultivation.
With his body destroyed, all of the treasures he stored in his Space Ring were obviously lost. He was not able to take anything with him.
He was definitely at his weakest right now.
However, he was still a Grand Prime after all, albeit injured. The strength he preserved was still extremely formidable.
Boom!
A rumble rang out in the divine hall. Nan Potian directly crushed Jian Chen’s sword Qi with his palm. Afterwards, he immediately arrived before Jian Chen. The clear moonlight condensed into a spear in his hand, thrusting towards Jian Chen’s chest with enough power to pierce space.
However, Jian Chen had already vanished long ago through the Laws of Space. Nan Potian only struck an afterimage that Jian Chen left behind.
“The space here has already been perturbed. You can actually still use the Laws of Space so freely?” Nan Potian’s eyes narrowed with a hint of surprise, but he soon snorted and formed a seal with his fingers. The tremendous pressure of the world immediately descended. He cast a God Tier Battle Skill instantly.
A colossal moon immediately condensed over his head. The moonlight it gave off formed an independent domain, sealing up the space there and limiting Jian Chen’s Laws of Space.
In the next moment, the colossal moon rapidly fell, directly smashing towards Jian Chen with a terrifying pressure that could destroy worlds.
However, Jian Chen did not even look at the God Tier Battle Skill. He unleashed his ultimate will, entering the intangible space and immediately locating the thread of connection between the God Tier Battle Skill and the heavenly ways. Afterwards, his will turned into a sharp edge, directly slashing at the thread.
Nan Potian’s God Tier Battle Skill immediately began to deflate like a balloon. All of its pressure vanished instantly, and in the end, the God Tier Battle Skill of alarming power was actually reduced to a loose energy attack.
“W-w-w-what’s going on?” Nan Potian was very surprised and puzzled. Despite all the years he had lived and all of his experiences, he had never seen or heard of such a bizarre phenomenon before.
At this moment, he was overcome by a horrible omen, immediately lowering his head as quickly as possible. A streak of light shot past by the skin of his teeth, cutting some of his hair.
However, Nan Potian had been through his fair share of battles. He possessed a wealth of battle experience. When the streak of light shot past, he struck back with a palm strike, landing it on Jian Chen’s chest with surging power.
Jian Chen’s entire chest caved in. His ribs were broken one by one. His organs were severely shaken up as well, making him spurt with blood.
Nan Potian was a Grand Prime after all. His cultivation had not recovered, but he still had his laws. All of his strikes possessed devastating power, enough to heavily injure Jian Chen’s current Chaotic Body.
If it had been any other Chaotic Prime, they definitely would struggle to hold on after enduring a strike from Nan Potian. However, blood only sprayed from Jian Chen’s mouth. His battle prowess was unaffected.
Chaotic Force surged forth in his body. All of his wounds healed rapidly.
He vanished with a swish, maneuvering around Nan Potian while wrapped in the Laws of Space. Great flashes appeared as he launched a barrage of attacks at Nan Potian.
“I have indeed underestimated you earlier. You’re much stronger than I anticipated you to be, but Chaotic Primes are still Chaotic Primes.” Nan Potian sneered. The moonlight he gave off flared, and the laws began to manifest in the air. He used the laws of a Grand Prime to reduce Jian Chen’s range and mobility.
Jian Chen rapidly retreated, except a divine sword shining with violet light immediately appeared in his hand. He had taken out the medium quality god artifact Zi Ying sword!
With the Zi Ying sword in hand, Jian Chen’s entire presence suddenly changed. He seemed to have fused with the sword. The bearing of a Sword Immortal manifested on him as he directly slashed out.
The light blotted out the sky. The entire space was swallowed by dazzling violet light. A gorgeous violet sword Qi with the Laws of the Sword directly clashed violently against Nan Potian’s laws.
However, the Laws of the Sword of a Chaotic Prime was simply unable to rival a Grand Prime.
After that strike, Jian Chen immediately vanished. The remaining power behind Nan Potian’s laws slammed into the wall behind him, piercing the entire divine hall.
Wielding the Zi Ying sword, Jian Chen slashed out at the empty air once again. When he slashed out, the Zi Ying sword in his hand—together with his entire arm—seemed to merge with space, vanishing immediately.
The Shadowless Lifetaking Strike!
Nan Potian’s complexion suddenly changed, immediately becoming sheet-white. Shock appeared in his eyes for the first time as he opened his mouth and sprayed out blood.
A resplendent, violet light shot through his body. The light directly pierced his body from inside out, opening up a great wound. It pierced his entire chest.
Jian Chen’s attack had directly bypassed all external defences, slashing inside Nan Potian’s body, not only leaving behind a great wound, but also grinding all of his organs to dust from the aura.
On top of that, a hint of the Sword Immortal’s presence lingered in Nan Potian’s body, turning into invisible sword Qi that wreaked havoc mercilessly.
“Y-you wretched! You little wretched-” Nan Potian widened his eyes and stared straight at Jian Chen viciously, his gaze containing bone-deep hatred.
