Jiang Chen froze. The current Xue Liang was under the bloodsucking effect of the Killing Platform which deprived him of his strength to continue the battle. Moreover, his life was in danger. Jiang Chen must save him first. Otherwise, Xue Liang could possibly lose his life.
Bing Yun and Qian Renji instantly went inside the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, leaving behind Xuan Yuanqi who was in utter confusion. His attack landed directly at the place where Jiang Chen was standing but it didnât stir up any dust because the latter had already disappeared.
âA Space Divine Tool?â
Xuan Yuanqi was dumbfounded and his expression changed slightly. Inwardly, he was feeling more excited than ever. A Space Divine Tool was something that was relatively rare to find, especially the one that could allow the user to hide inside it. It was impossible for this item to leave this place. Once Xuan Yuanqi found it, he would certainly get rid of Jiang Chen at all costs and seize it.
Meanwhile, Scarlet Flame The Enlightened also had the same idea in mind. Everyone knew how precious a Space Divine Tool that allowed its user to enter the space within the tool was. Even Divine Emperors might not necessarily possess such an item. This Divine King brat, however, was actually blessed with such luck?
âWhat a powerful Killing Platform. Itâs so monstrous!â
Scarlet Flame The Enlightened increasingly liked this Killing Platform. Today, however, Xuan Yuanqi was the only person who could rival him.
âBrother Xuan Yuan, what if you give this Killing Platform to me? When I discover treasures in the future, Iâll give them to you. Otherwise, Iâm afraid there wonât be an end to our fight even if we battle until the night falls. Whatâs the point of that? What if you and I join forces? We can surely achieve great things together.â
âHehe. Then, why donât you give the Killing Platform to me? When I discover treasures next time, Iâll also give them to you. What do you think?â
Xuan Yuanqi said with a chuckle.
â*Sigh* It seems like between you and me, one of us must fall today. Since you donât trust me, weâre both destined to suffer huge losses.
Scarlet Flame The Enlightened shook his head and spoke. Well, they both were similar as neither of them believed in each other. Thus, it would be impossible for them to cease the fight.
Lan Luo, on the other hand, was severely injured by Jiang Chen. The current her had already lost most of her combat power and it was nearly impossible for her to have a chance at seizing the Killing Platform.
âMiss Luo, what if you give me a hand in this fight? So long as I win against this guy, Iâll let you have the Killing Platform which will serve as my dowry. You can then marry me and join my family. What do you think?â
Xuan Yuanqiâs eyes glistened as he looked toward Lan Luo. At the same time, Lan Luoâs expression became even more solemn. As still as a mountain, she silently cast a glance at Xuan Yuanqi and then said with a cold tone, âIâm afraid that by the time you get your hands on the Killing Platform, I will no longer be important, right? Humph.â
Lan Luoâs words stunned Xuan Yuanqi. This lady was quite smart. Indeed, even though he wanted her to marry him, she was still worthless compared to the Killing Platform. And she actually noticed this fact.
âApparently, youâve always been doubting my admiration for you. Fine. Iâll seize this Killing Platform for you and make it our love token. Hehe.â
Xuan Yuanqi smirked. If Lan Luo was willing to submit to him, he would be very willing to be her companion. After all, if she agreed to marry him, his status in the Xuan Yuan Family would certainly rise as well. At that time, being promoted as a genuine core disciple was something that would certainly happen. Unfortunately, being able to establish a firm foundation in the Xuan Yuan Family was not something easy even for someone as strong as him.
Within the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, Bing Yun and Qian Renji were slightly dazed with astonishment rising within their hearts. Jiang Chenâs Ancestral Dragon Pagoda had let them witness the definition of real terror. It made them realize how deep and powerful Jiang Chenâs background was. However, even so, the most important matter right now was to think of a way to save Xue Liang.
Jiang Chen sensed that Xue Liangâs body was becoming hotter and hotter. If it wasnât for the Five Elemental Divine Fire, Jiang Chen probably could not even hold Xue Liangâs hands. The latterâs blood was so hot that it was nearly starting to boil.
âIf this goes on, Xue Liang will be devoured alive by that bizarre Killing Platform.â
Bing Yun said with anxiety. She was on the verge of breaking down but there was nothing she could do to help him.
âIs the Killing Platform really this frightening?â
Jiang Chen tried fighting fire with fire by infusing the power of the Five Elemental Divine Fire into Xue Liangâs body. However, he gave up after trying for just a second. It was because the moment the Five Elemental Divine Fire came into contact with Xue Liangâs body, the heat waves within him started to intensify terrifyingly.
âI canât.... I canât hold on any longer... Iâm going to explode!â
Xue Liangâs face turned blood-red. His whole body stiffened and became as thin as a stick. Fresh blood kept evaporating from his body. Simultaneously, the blood light on the Killing Platform also grew scarier.
âCold River Stone!â
Jiang Chen pressed the Cold River Stone against Xue Liangâs body. At that moment, Xue Liang felt an immense sense of relief. His expression looked less distressed.
âItâs so soothing...â
Xue Liang muttered. Even so, his lips were already completely cracked. The blood light in his eyes was gradually diminishing but Jiang Chen still felt something was not right because a heat wave that was much more terrifying than before had struck again. Even the Cold River Stone seemed unable to suppress the frightening heat wave brought upon by the Killing Platform!
âThis is still not working!â
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth. Now, no one had a way to help Xue Liang recover. His face shrivelled and his cheeks became sunken. The fresh blood in his body was almost dried up by the heat wave within him.
âNo, I canât accept this! I canât accept this!â
Xue Lianâs roar was deafening like a thunderclap. Bing Yunâs eyes were bursting with anger. She had never expected that Big Brother Bai would be devoured by the Killing Platform. Jiang Chen suddenly raised his head. Xue Liangâs body could no longer endure such pressure. Under the contradicting power of ice and fire, it would only make him suffer even more.
In the next moment, Xue Liangâs body became distorted. Moreover, he was gradually sucked away by an unimaginably terrifying power. Jiang Chen clenched to Xue Liangâs body but his action was futile. That mysterious power even made Jiang Chen feel helpless. Even one who had the strength equivalent to that of nine dragons and ten elephants would also have difficulty withstanding that kind of power.
Xue Liangâs body was completely drawn out from the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda by the bizarre power from the Killing Platform. He was dragged into the Killing Platform right in front of Jiang Chenâs and Bing Yunâs eyes that were full of despair!
âNOââ-â
Bing Yun could not believe the scene that had just happened right before her eyes and collapsed on the ground. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, fell into silence. He took a deep breath, feeling extremely upset and disappointed. His best friend was devoured by the Killing Platform right under his nose and he could do nothing about it.
âMan isnât omnipotent. You donât have to blame yourself too much.â
Qian Renji looked toward Jiang Chen and consoled with a soft tone.
âIf he isnât to be blamed, who else should I blame? If it wasnât because of him who insisted on seizing the Killing Platform, how would Xue Liang be severely injured by those two bastards? How would he die and leave Bing Yun alone...?â
Bing Yun knelt on the ground and choked with heartbreaking sobs. Jiang Chenâs heart was also moved by her sadness.
âIâll make them pay with their blood!â
Jiang Chen clenched his fists tightly and raised his head, glaring at the endless sky above the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. A silent flame of anger started to rage within him.
