Chapter 2506: Against a Chaotic Prime

Bang!

With a thud, Jian Chen’s kick landed on Jun Kong’s chest, crushing all his ribs. The terrifying power penetrated his body and crushed his heart as well.

Jun Kong was knocked away by the kick. He crashed into a mountain below heavily and left behind a great pit. The entire mountain shook gently.

Jun Kong could no longer make any sounds, and his life force was dimming. His body had basically been beaten to a pulp by Jian Chen’s barrage of attacks, covering him in blood. Many regions on his were reduced to a bloody mess, and all his organs and veins were reduced to pieces or severed.

His fate was extremely miserable. His wounds were so heavy that he could literally be described as at death’s door.

If it were not for the fact that he was a Godking, if it were not for the fact that his soul remained intact, the wounds would have claimed his life long ago.

However, even with that being the case, his hellish torture still did not come to an end. Jian Chen arrived on the mountain and stood on the edge of the pit. He grabbed Jun Kong and lifted him up before slapping him again.

With a crisp sound, Jun Kong was sent flying once again. His face had also been reduced to a bloody pulp, and it was no longer possible to distinguish his facial features.

One of his eyes had been destroyed, and his nose was gone, replaced by a fist-sized depression in the centre of his face. His mouth had been crushed as well, indistinguishable from the rest of his face.

If ghosts existed in this world, Jun Kong seemed just like one right now. He was terrifying, and timid people would become covered in cold sweat from fright if they caught a glance of him.

He was just too miserable. He had been reduced to Jian Chen’s punching bag.

“Mu’er, Jun Kong was in the wrong, but he’s still your senior in the end. Are you just going to watch him being abused like this?” Lian Qi asked Mu’er secretly. Jun Kong’s sufferings made him utterly furious. His face had become even more sunken.

He wanted to save Jun Kong and teach Jian Chen a fierce lesson very much, but he felt fearful when he thought about the Martial Soul lineage behind Jian Chen.

Even though he was a Chaotic Prime, the Martial Soul lineage was still powerful enough to strike fear within him.

This was because the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound could not stop the Martial Soul lineage, even with the Wind Ancestor who was far more powerful than him.

Now, he could only place his hopes on Shangguan Mu’er, hoping that she would plead for mercy for her senior’s sake.

“He’s no longer my senior. He was asking for this, so you can’t blame anyone else,” Shangguan Mu’er said coldly, showing no respect towards Lian Qi.

She had already begun to suspect whether the Intoxicating Philtre came from Lian Qi.

“Mu’er, if this continues, Jun Kong will probably be beaten to death. His soul is already injured now. He can’t last very long,” Gu Na said to Shangguan Mu’er as well. She had basically watched Jun Kong grow up. Coupled with the fact that he was her partner’s disciple, she did not want to see Jun Kong suffer either.

“Jun Kong’s life has nothing to do with me. If it weren’t for the fact that this is the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, I would have taken his life already for what he did to me earlier.” Shangguan Mu’er’s eyes were extremely cold; they were filled with heavy killing intent.

Deng Wenxin said nothing. She understood the Wind Ancestor’s intentions. Even if Jian Chen did not have the Martial Soul lineage backing him up, they needed to forsake Jun Kong.

Because of Jun Kong, Shangguan Mu’er would go as far as to leave the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, and because of Jun Kong, Shangguan Mu’er had completely given up on the sect.

It went without saying just how important Shangguan Mu’er was to the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. Since she held great resentment towards Jun Kong, the sect and her relationship would only grow even more distant if they insisted on protecting him.

This was not an outcome any of them would want.

As a result, Deng Wenxin believed that even if Shangguan Mu’er wanted to leave the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, they could not allow her to hold any resentment towards the sect at all.

“It looks like it’s the Wind Ancestor who is wise. Mu’er has already attracted the attention of archean clans now, so if she remained in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, we’ll struggle to protect her. Having her leave temporarily isn’t necessarily bad. After all, her husband is Jian Chen, and he has returned the Anatta Tower, commiting a service of great merit to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Mu’er will only benefit from that.” At that moment, Deng Wenxin seemed to understand an even deeper underlying meaning.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and blood rained down from the sky.

Jun Kong’s arms had been cleanly severed by Jian Chen. As the limbs fell from the sky, they sprayed blood.

Lian Qi had already clenched both his hands. He stared at the armless Jun Kong as his body shook gently. He was utterly furious.

“It’s time to send you off.” Jian Chen stared at the half-dead Jun Kong in the air as killing intent shone from his eyes. He extended a finger towards Jun Kong’s forehead.

With the finger, a streak of bright, silver-white light shot through the air, approaching Jun Kong with lightning speed.

After torturing Jun Kong so much, Jian Chen began to lose interest as well, so he directly tried to end Jun Kong’s life.

“Enough!”

However, at this moment, a furious bellow rang out. Lian Qi could not help but stand forward now that Jun Kong faced death.

He appeared before Jun Kong like he had teleported and swung his hand casually. The great might of a Chaotic Prime erupted, shattering Jian Chen’s attack with a single gesture.

Lian Qi hovered in the air as he surrounded Jun Kong with the energy of the world there. He stared at Jian Chen coldly and said, “Jian Chen, don’t push your luck.”

Jun Kong was his disciple, and Lian Qi had given him the Intoxicating Philtre. As a result, Lian Qi could not allow Jun Kong to die before him.

Deng Wenxin and Gu Na’s expressions changed slightly when they saw this, while Shangguan Mu’er’s eyes shone coldly.

“You want to protect him?” Jian Chen stared at Lian Qi icily.

“Jun Kong has already been reduced to this by you, so his mistakes have been made up for now. You should stop,” Lian Qi said with a sunken expression.

Jian Chen shook his head. “Who said his mistakes have been made up for? As long as he’s still alive, his mistakes remain.”

“Are you saying that you must kill Jun Kong?” Lian Qi’s eyes gradually turned cold, and he said frigidly, “Jun Kong is my disciple. It’s fine if you want to punish him, but I cannot allow you to kill him.”

“You might be a Chaotic Prime, but do you really think you can protect Jun Kong?” Jian Chen did not back off at all. He was extremely determined to kill Jun Kong even if a Chaotic Prime stood in his way.
