All the racesâ reinforcements had gathered in the Realm of True Force.
One of Jiang Chenâs practicing bodies traveled through the Realm of Milky with Ye Qiu and came to the Holy Martial Arts City in the Realm of True Force.
Many different feelings arose in Jiang Chen when heâd arrived here again.
The Great Competition of the Three Realms had been held in this city. This was also where his father had eliminated the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts with only one sword attack.
And many who had tried to protect him had died here. âJustice,â he thought to himself. Jiang Chen recalled the bodyguard, who still looked like a child, who was so resolute in the face of death. He would never forget all that happened in the past.
Heâd already eliminated the Tangs whoâd killed Tang Zhengyi. The only one whoâd escaped was Tang Shiya, whose whereabouts were still unknown. Jiang Chen had also not forgotten about those people who had acted with the Tangs.
He hadnât done anything to them at the time due to the pressure of the situation. But it was time to resolve old scores with them.
âJiang Chen, are you all right?â
Ye Qiu, next to him, noticed Jiang Chenâs aggressiveness. He was baffled.
âYeah, Iâm fine. Just thinking of the past,â Jiang Chen said casually.
Ye Qiu was struck dumb. Then he recalled that Jiang Chen had grown up in the Realm of Nine Heavens. He must have been to the Realm of True Force too.
âI really have no idea how he made it,â Ye Qiu thought to himself. Heâd never heard about anyone from the Realm of Nine Heavens who had climbed up the ladder as far as Jiang Chen had.
The two arrived at the downtown shortly thereafter.
âThe Sovereign Spirit Palace is over there. Thatâs the Martial Divinity Palace where the Xia live. As for those other races, theyâre staying at the Demon Slayers Palace for the moment,â said Ye Qiu.
Jiang Chen nodded. Members of these three forces each had obvious traits.
Especially the Xia: regardless of strength, they were all wearing thick, solid armor. The pattern and color of the armor told their positions and strengths.
On the other hand, the races who didnât want to side with anyone chose to stay at the Demon Slayers Palace, which was neutral ground.
Jiang Chen kept hearing all kinds of discussions about the Demons. However, all of them were just based on groundless assumptions.
âJiang Chen!â
âHow dare you show up here!â
âKill him! Kill him!â
Ye Qiu and Jiang Chenâs appearance drew much attention.
People were irritated when they recognized Jiang Chen. Countless amounts of aggressive energy gushed out.
Ye Qiu and he were soon surrounded by a tight ring of people. Almost all of the big forces were present.
There were the Wizard Race, the Wizard Monster Race, the Divine Recluse Race, and the Silver Divinity Race.
There was the Monster Slayers Palace of the Sovereign Spirit Palace from the Three Great Forces, and Xia Jiang from the Martial Divinity Palace.
The Wu Country under the rule of the Xia and Prince Fengyu, a royal member of the Xia, was present.
Surrounded by so many strong people, Jiang Chen looked pretty relaxed. He said with a small smile, âGuys, long time, no see.â
People who didnât know the history of these guys would think those were his old friends.
However, these people who had gathered around him were irritated by his attitude. They were all Jiang Chenâs enemies.
For some of them, their distinguished disciples had been killed by Jiang Chen, while for others, it was their family members.
Of course, not all of the reinforcements in the Realm of True Force were Jiang Chenâs enemies. Many people were just observing the situation. And they were very curious.
âHow did a Martial Arts Saint antagonize so many strong people?â
This was the question on most peopleâs minds.
There were young people among the reinforcements too, which proved how seriously the races were taking the Demons.
A sexy woman who was taller than most of the men said, âElder brother, itâs that guy.â She had healthy-looking tanned skin. It was rare that her skin didnât look rough due to its color. Instead, it seemed subtle and silky.
âA man who doesnât have the nerve to accept a challenge doesnât deserve any attention,â Dugu Yifang, her elder brother, said morosely.
Heâd had a deal with Jiang Chen. They would have a fight when the Legend Stele opened. However, Jiang Chen didnât show up.
When they met again, he was already a Martial Arts Saint. It was inevitable for people to assume heâd avoided that fight with a talented strongman out of fear.
âItâs true. Even though heâs already a Martial Arts Saint, heâs kind of lost his edge,â Dugu Yue was kind of disappointed.
The brother and sister had been amazed by Jiang Chenâs striking strength on the day when the celestial palace was open.
Dugu Yue had given him the challenge letter in person.
However, Jiang Chen didnât show up at all on the day when the Legend Stele was opened.
âJiang Chen, give my younger brother back to me.â Xia Jiang was the most indignant among all of the people. Heâd survived after the incident in the Demonic Abyss.
However, heâd violated the rules. The fact that heâd entered the Demonic Abyss again was also made public. Consequently, he was deprived of his identity as a Sovereign Descendant.
Now, more than half a year had passed, and the shock from Jiang Chenâs Heavenly God status had been watered down. So he launched an attack directly.
Even though Ye Qiu was next to Jiang Chen, even though he knew someone would come forward to stop him... Xia Jiang was still extremely resolute. He was going to ignite the fire of anger of all those who hated Jiang Chen there.
âHuh?â Ye Qiu didnât have any good feelings about Xia Jiang at all. Itâd really been Xia Jiangâs responsibility that many Demon Lords in the Demonic Abyss had almost escaped. Although he was taken advantage of, if he hadnât been so greedy, things wouldnât have ended up so badly.
If it hadnât been for Jiang Chen, whoâd made a great effort to turn the tide, the consequences wouldâve been unimaginable.
âLeave it to me.â
Jiang Chen extended his hand and took a step forward to face Xia Jiang alone.
âBut...â Ye Qiu was worried, but thinking Jiang Chen wouldnât make stupid mistakes, he tried to hold his temper.
âOh?â Xia Jiang suddenly realized he had a chance to kill Jiang Chen. He instantly became excited.
It was not the same as in the Demonic Abyss, where heâd disguised himself and couldnât exert all of this fighting force. At the moment, he was a Martial Arts Saint at the peak.
âGodsâ Trial!â Xia Jiang seized his chance. He exerted a unique theurgy directly.
âA unique theurgy? Is this guy going to destroy the city?â
The onlookers were startled. The strong people nearby hurried to work together to build an energy jar that covered the whole street, trapping Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had to deal with Xia Jiangâs unique theurgy. The situation became serious instantly.
The onlookers held their breaths. They didnât believe Jiang Chen would die this way. He was after all a man brought here by the Demon Slayers Palace.
However, no one had helped by the time Xia Jiang had finished his preparation and locked in on Jiang Chen.
âHe is doomed!â Some thought.
Xia Jiang was a Martial Arts Saint at the peak who could exert a unique theurgy. This was enough to explain his excellence.
Jiang Chen, still a Martial Arts Saint in the preliminary stage, evidently wouldnât be able to resist him.
âUnique theurgy? I have one too. Great Method of Void!â As soon as heâd finished speaking, Jiang Chen disappeared, as if heâd sunk into water.
Xia Jiang had locked in on Jiang Chen, but now he turned pale. Heâd lost track of Jiang Chen. He had no idea where the latter could be.
However, the onlookers all looked startled.
âMoron! Heâs behind you!â A man from the Martial Divinity Palace hurried to warn him.
âWhat?â Xia Jiang was shocked. He hurried to turn around. There he saw Jiang Chen smiling coldly at him.
âThunder Dragon Fist!â
Jiang Chen threw the dragon fist, which heâd gotten ready some time ago, hard toward him. Thousands of lightnings were flashing around Jiang Chenâs entire arm.
This punch broke Xia Jiangâs protective clothing. And he was sent flying by an enormous destructive power.
His energy jar had also been broken. He went tumbling dozens of miles down the street. When he finally came to a rest, Xia Jiang was totally feeble.
âWho else? Donât hold your tempers. Bring it on.â
Jiang Chen turned his head all around, looking toward his enemies provocatively.
