The Great Wild God - Chapter 685
Chapter 685 An Old Friend
Watching the black-scaled warship Chen Xun was riding slowly descend towards them, Jiang Shu’s eyes darkened, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart. He knew that this grandson would definitely not come looking for him.
Jiang Shu looked at Ji Chang beside him, only to see that Ji Chang’s pupils were slightly closed, as if an old monk was meditating, but his black armor slightly bulged, and some divine flame spirit radiance overflowed …
At this moment, Jiang Shu was shocked. Only then did he know that Chen Xun’s cultivation was only at the middle Heavenly Human Realm. He had actually used his divine sense to lock down Ji Chang, who had reached the sixth stage of Nirvana Realm.
It was hard to imagine where this was placed, but Jiang Shu knew that Chen Xun couldn’t use common sense to guess. There was a thundercloud gathering above the Black Scaled Warship that hadn’t dissipated, and it was as red as blood, and it could transform into lightning at any moment.
At this time, Jiang Shu’s heart tightened slightly. Jiang Xiwu might not harm him for the sake of Stillwater Continent, but Chen Xun, this thief, was hard to say.
Back on Qiyun Island, this fellow had shattered Xu Zhilong’s corpse in front of Old Devil Xu. In the end, he forced Old Devil Xu to take out three Nirvana Pills and three Demonic Dragon Origin Embryos before redeeming Xu Zhilong’s Origin Embryos.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu’s heart turned cold. He felt that this beast was trying to blackmail him!
Chen Xun only knew that the black-armored general’s surname was Ji Mingchang, and he traveled with Jiang Shu throughout the Heavenly Average and was responsible for protecting his safety.
Apart from that, what exactly was Ji Chang’s origin, what was his relationship with Stillwater Continent, and what exactly was the reason why, with his unfathomable cultivation, he actually wanted to protect Jiang Shu’s safety? Not only did Chen Xun not know all of this, even Emperor Xi Wu did not know the details.
If it was him, Chen Xun would never provoke such a powerful enemy. Even if he relied on the Cloud Mist Black Scaled Ship and the ten thousand soldiers behind him to force him to commit such a crime, he would still incur unpredictable troubles in the future. However, at this critical moment, he had to make an extremely decisive decision.
If the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation could not survive, everything would be empty talk. As long as everything was conducive to defending against the demonic tribulation, he wouldn’t hesitate to use any means.
Chen Xun’s divine sense locked onto Ji Chang, but he stared at Jiang Shu with a murderous expression. He smiled coldly and said, “Young Master Jiang Shu, have you ever thought about the price you would pay for entering the muddy waters of Snowdragon Mountain?”
Jiang Shu saw Chen Xun’s gaze drifting towards the dragon skeleton warship behind him, and his eyes turned black again. He knew what this fellow was eyeing, but this dragon skeleton warship was not his. If someone took it away from Snowdragon Mountain, how would he explain it when he returned to Stillwater Continent?
However, how would he react if he did what this fellow wanted?
Jiang Shu remembered what Qi Yun Island had seen. His heart was cold and he was brave. He shouted, “What do you want?”
“The warship behind you has borrowed the Demonic Alliance for over a hundred years, and we’ll write off this debt. How about I just pretend that I didn’t see it appear in the Sunguard Mountain?” Chen Xun asked as he twirled his fingers.
Jiang Shu’s thoughts kept spinning in his heart. He thought to himself that the Dragon-skeletal Warship had only been lent for a hundred years, and Stillwater Continent could still give him instructions. At worst, he would not return to Stillwater Continent for the next hundred years. But what would he do if this fellow refused to pay back his debts after a hundred years?
“Lightning Cloud Island probably doesn’t dare to rely on Young Master’s debts!” Ji Chang sent mentally.
Jiang Shu’s mind stirred. He didn’t expect that Ji Changping would never make any decisions for him. He actually encouraged him to mortgage the Dragon Bone Warship to calm down. He secretly asked, “Ji shi isn’t confident in protecting us?”
Jiang Shu changed his address to Ji Chang Du when he asked for help.
“The aura of the black-scaled warship in front of me fused with the heavens and earth. It faintly collided with the Thundercloud Island’s Copper Lightning Pillar more than 30,000 kilometers away. I’m afraid that within a thousand kilometers radius, it won’t be able to escape the blasts of the Crimson Blood Divine Lightning. Of course, I’m not afraid, but I’m not confident that I’ll be able to bring you all out of here in an instant!” It was rare for Ji Chang to have the patience to explain in such detail.
“How could this be?”
Only then did Jiang Shu know that the Black Scaled Warship in front of him could withstand the Scarlet Blood Divine Lightning. It was not the Black Scaled Warship that had reached the level of a high-grade Dao Weapon. In fact, it borrowed the might of the Heaven and Earth Mountain Protection Formation of Thundercloud Island. However, this puzzled him even more. He secretly asked Ji Chang,
“Thundercloud Island’s Thunder Profound Formation, how could it kill the Crimson Blood Divine Lightning 30,000 kilometers away?”
Although Jiang Shu didn’t cultivate very hard, he dabbled in a lot of things.
Previously, he and Ji Chang had been close to the core area of Thundercloud Island. Ji Chang also said that the copper pillar of lightning had merged with the power of the heavens and earth of Thundercloud Island and connected to many dragon-snake lightning formations. The formation had actually reached the level of a Tier 4 Heaven and Earth Mountain Protection Formation. It could control the power of thunderclouds and lightning generated by the power of the heavens and earth of Thundercloud Island and kill powerful enemies.
However, the defensive and destructive power of the Thundercloud Island’s Profound Thunder Formation would drastically decrease as the distance between them increased.
Perhaps within the range of Thundercloud Island, the Profound Thunder Formation could resist the Scarlet Blood Divine Lightning and kill its enemies. Expanding the southern foot of Snowdragon Mountain to the periphery, Qiyun Island could only withstand Zixiao level 1 lightning. And 30,000 miles away, that is, at the edge of the territory controlled by Danzhou, the power of the lightning will be reduced to a level that even a low-level Heavenly Yuan Realm Xuan Xiu cannot threaten …
Why would Chen Xun be able to borrow the Lightning Profound Formation of Thundercloud Island and control the Crimson Blood Divine Lightning that even Upper Three Realms Heaven-defying Rebirth Realm experts wouldn’t dare to peep at from 30,000 kilometers away?
What was he relying on to break through the spatial restriction and not reduce the lightning power of the Thundercloud Island’s Profound Thunder Formation to 30,000 kilometers away?
Although Jiang Shu was not well received in Stillwater Continent, he was not allowed to browse through many ancient books and records in Stillwater Continent. He had cultivated for three to four hundred years and had read tens of thousands of ancient secret scrolls, but he had never seen any records about this!
If the ancient records in Stillwater Continent didn’t contain any relevant records, wouldn’t that mean that what Chen Xun grasped was a secret technique that even the Heavenly Jun Great World didn’t possess?
Ji Chang knew that Chen Xun had refined a Dragon-Snake Lightning Array in the black-scaled warship in front of him. However, it was simple. A Dragon-Snake Lightning Array at the beginning of the Heaven and Earth Realm was far from being able to contact the aura of the Profound Lightning Array 30,000 kilometers away. Unless he grasped the Dao of Heaven and Earth, he would be able to borrow the power of Snowdragon Mountain to break through the spatial restrictions.
Ji Chang’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly, but he wouldn’t explain this to Jiang Shu. He thought that after Jiang Shu’s life wasn’t threatened, it wouldn’t be easy for him to think so deeply.
He pretended to be impatient and said, “The Dao of Formation Cultivation is profound and unfathomable. I can’t peek at it in case, but if this confrontation continues, my mind will be greatly exhausted. I’m afraid that I will fall into a disadvantage …”
Hearing Ji Chang say this, Jiang Shu was shocked.
Chen Xun’s divine soul cultivation was definitely far inferior to Ji Chang’s, but behind him were hundreds of Thundercloud Island disciples who had gathered their Spiritual Sense and Divine Will into Chen Xun’s body with the help of magic formations, and the killing intent gathered by more than ten thousand Divine Guards to fight against Ji Chang.
Even though Ji Chang possessed the cultivation of the peak of the Middle Three Realms of Nirvana, his mind would be extremely exhausted if he dragged on for a long time. Once he fell into a disadvantage, Chen Xun might even put forward even harsher blackmail conditions.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu hurriedly asked Chen Xun, “How can I trust you?”
“Who would dare to blame you, Young Master Jiang Shu, after you settle the bill one yard for one yard?” Chen Xun curled his lips into a smile and said, “Presumably, Young Master Jiang Shu will not make things difficult for Chen Xun. At this critical juncture, do you want Chen Xun to swear an oath of the heavens?”
Jiang Shu cursed Chen Xun in his heart until his head was drenched in blood. He thought to himself, “Don’t you dare to blackmail me? I almost lost my underwear to your grandson?”
Thousands of thoughts passed through his mind, but he could only take out a Soul Sealing Pearl from his bosom and put the Dragon Soul Tool Spirit of the dragon skeleton ship into the Soul Sealing Pearl. It could be considered as giving up the control of the dragon skeleton ship.
Chen Xun had three demonic dragon embryos in his hands, so he naturally didn’t care about the Dragon Soul Tool Spirit in Jiang Shu’s hands. Seeing that Jiang Shu obediently handed over control of the Dragon Skeleton Warship, Black-armored General Ji Chang’s bodyguard Jiang Shu and several beautiful women retreated to the outskirts of Sunguard Mountain …
Jiang Shu’s battleship was refined from the skeleton of an ancient dragon. It could not display much power in Jiang Shu’s hands, but it was the most desirable and rare powerful battle weapon in Danzhou.
One had to know that not a single warship in Danzhou had reached the level of a Dao Artifact yet.
The Dragon Snake Lightning Subduing Formation that was refined into Chen Xun’s Cloud Mist Black Scaled Ship required Chen Xun to personally manage it. He still didn’t dare to relax his vigilance against the Wilderness Battlefield. He would occasionally shoot ten or eight Scarlet Blood Divine Lightning bolts towards the allied forces. At this moment, Ji Lie would naturally refine a Demonic Dragon Primordial Embryo into the Dragon Skelf Warship.
Before this, Chen Xun had used his divine sense to sweep through the dragon skeleton warship.
Apart from being comparable to a mid-grade Dao artifact and the core of a warship, the Dragon Skeleton Talisman Bone was completely intact, there was also a Dragon Locking Mountain River Formation refined within the Dragon Skeleton …
The Six Suns Mountain River Formation, the Dragon Sealing Mountain River Formation, and the Soul Suppressing Mountain River Formation were all passed down from the Jiang family of Stillwater Province. In fact, the Jiang family had mastered a complete set of refining methods for the Heaven Earth Mountain River Formation, but only the Soul Suppressing, Dragon Sealing, and Six Suns Mountain River Formations were passed down.
Chen Xun’s divine sense swept through it roughly and discovered that the restriction of the fifth level formation inside the dragon skeleton was actually more exquisite than the Dragon Sealing Mountain River Formation that was circulating outside. He felt that Stillwater Continent had indeed left behind a hand when it sold the Heaven and Earth Mountain Protection Formation to other clans.
This was no wonder he, Zuo Qingmu, and Su Shousi were unable to decipher it for so many years. It turned out that what they had obtained earlier was not the original.
Zong Ya led the 10,000 God Guards Legion Corps soldiers to move onto the dragon skeleton warship to protect Ji Lie from changes in the battle situation in the Wilderness. Chen Xun led more than 300 Mountain Parasol disciples to ride the Cloud Mist Black Scaled Ship and sail towards the left-wing mountains.
Gu Yuzhang, Lian Changhai, and the others did not dare to move in the forest. Perhaps dozens of disciples could form an array and forcefully carry a scarlet blood divine lightning, but if they were to act rashly now, they would be blasted to ashes by the scarlet blood divine lightning, and there would be no place for them to complain.
They all saw Chen Xun blackmail Jiang Shu, their hearts filled with hatred and coldness, but at this moment, they only wished that Chen Xun hadn’t noticed them.
However, Chen Xun had already seen their hiding place clearly.
Although these people did not follow Jiang Tianchou directly into Danzhou, they were still in the vicinity of Sunguard Mountain with dirty thoughts of fishing in troubled waters.
The Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation was imminent, and most of these Xuan Xiu were disciples from powerful Immortal Dao sects. Chen Xun couldn’t kill them, but he definitely wouldn’t let them sneak away with a slap on the butt …
