Chapter 2723: The Proud Ice King

The appearance of a droplet of Sacredfeather’s essence blood had completely infuriated Jian Chen. He fell into a rage as killing intent surged through his body. Wielding the axe with both hands, he leaped past the ruined city walls and charged directly into the Darknight City.

As he did that, he became enveloped by the Laws of Strength. He had already pushed the mid G.o.dking Laws of Strength beyond its limit. Even though it had not reached late G.o.dking, it was growing closer and closer.

His current form was highly compatible with the Laws of Strength, as if it resonated with the golden core of the Laws of Strength, releasing the power of laws hidden within strand by strand and allowing Jian Chen to absorb it, thus deepening his comprehension of the Laws of Strength.

“The strength of mid G.o.dking is still not enough. My Laws of Strength needs to break through. Only if I reach late G.o.dking can I deal with the current situation I’m in.” Even though Jian Chen’s heart was filled with killing intent, he had not lost his rationale. He looked in the direction of the city lord’s estate. His eyes seemed to belong to a G.o.d of death from h.e.l.l, cold and emotionless.

“Stop him! Don’t let him enter the city!”

A series of cries rang out from the Darknight City. Immediately, many G.o.dkings hidden throughout Darknight City roused from their cultivation. The Darknight City was a city of their Darkstar race. Over ninety percent of the people in there were members of the Darkstar race, with less than ten percent of the population as outsiders. If a battle erupted in the city, just the number of weaker clansmen of the Darkstar race that would die would be inestimable, let alone how damaged the city would become.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Over twenty figures immediately charged into the sky and surrounded Jian Chen from all directions. However, all of these people had reached late G.o.dking!

All late G.o.dkings!

There were no longer any mid G.o.dkings who took part!

“Everyone back off. This king will personally kill this person,” the Proud Ice King’s voice rang out at this moment. It was filled with evident fury and sunkenness.

He had spent several million years comprehending in order to grasp this true G.o.d Tier Battle Skill, the Star of Apocalypse. He used it earlier in an attempt to kill this outsiders cleanly.

It was going overboard with his ident.i.ty to use a G.o.d Tier Battle Skill against a mid G.o.dking. Even if he did kill the mid G.o.dking, there was no sense of achievement at all. Instead, he wanted to use this as a great opportunity to demonstrate to the entire city the might of his G.o.d Tier Battle Skill.

This was because of the one hundred and eight kings in Darknight City. According to the rules, every single one of them needed to have grasped a G.o.d Tier Battle Skill at the very least. These positions would be chosen by the law of the jungle.

However, out of the one hundred and eight kings, the Proud Ice King was the only one who had not grasped a G.o.d Tier Battle Skill. As a result, he had always been rather undeserving of his t.i.tle among the one hundred and eight kings. This had always weighed on the Proud Ice King’s mind.

Now that the Proud Ice King had finally grasped the Star of Apocalypse, he wanted to demonstrate the wondrous glory of his G.o.d Tier Battle Skill, so he could tell the entire city that the position of a king was rightfully his. He had never thought that the G.o.d Tier Battle Skill he took pride in would even fail to kill a mid G.o.dking.

How would the people of the Darknight City look at him now?

The mighty Proud Ice King had spent so much difficulty in comprehending a G.o.d Tier Battle Skill, yet it was so measly that it even failed to kill a mid G.o.dking?

The Proud Ice King immediately felt his face heat up. He had made a fool of himself.

Suddenly, a huge hand extended out from the city. The hand was completely condensed from energy. When it had spread out, it was several hundred meters wide, seemingly enough to engulf an entire region.

The Proud Ice King took action once more. He did not appear, remaining hidden somewhere in the city as he launched his attack at Jian Chen from afar.

Jian Chen roared out and the muscles on his arms swelled up firmly. Veins popped out as he pushed his strength to the limit. He swung the axe in his hands again and again, forming a curtain of axe swings before him.

“What power!”

“Every single strike is no weaker than us, yet he’s actually produced so many strikes in a single breath. Won’t he become exhausted?”

“Don’t tell me his strength is never ending?”

…

The late G.o.dkings in the surroundings were all surprised when they witnessed this.

In just a single second, Jian Chen had swung the axe several dozen times. Each swing left a huge shadow in the air. He had forcefully cut the Proud Ice King’s hand of energy to pieces.

The Proud Ice King was no longer able to stay put. As if he had been viciously provoked, he suddenly appeared in the air with a snort. He stared at Jian Chen extremely icily.

He wore white clothes and had long, snow-white hair that reached his waist. His appearance was extremely youthful, maintained at around when he was twenty years old. He had a striking figure.

“You should feel proud in dying by my hands since you managed to force me out. You have gained the right to leave your name behind,” the Proud Ice King said coldly while standing there with his arms crossed.

Jian Chen sneered. He said nothing at all, directly swinging his axe with a sliver of power from the Chaotic Body.

“Hmph, you’re like a glistening grain of rice trying to challenge the moon in radiance!” The Proud Ice King snorted coldly. He raised his hand with composure and directly grabbed Jian Chen’s axe.

When he made contact with the axe, the Proud Ice King shuddered violently and his expression changed.

“What strength!” The Proud Ice King was secretly surprised. A great force surged through his hand. He shook off the axe with the tremble, before checking his hand, only to discover that it was now wounded, covered in blood.

Jian Chen and the Proud Ice King engaged in an intense battle over the Darknight City. Jian Chen swung his axe constantly, without the slightest pause, at the Proud Ice King.

The Proud Ice King demonstrated his strength as one of the hundred and eight kings. His strength had completely surpa.s.sed regular late G.o.dkings. Even within the Saints’ World, he was enough to rank within the top one hundred of the G.o.dkings’ Throne.

He made full use of his advantages and his opponent’s disadvantages, avoiding direct clashes with Jian Chen. He used the advantage of his higher cultivation to fight against Jian Chen.

Jian Chen was obviously not his opponent since he only used the power of a mid G.o.dking. He was overwhelmed by the Proud Ice King. After several heavy attacks from the Proud Ice King, the supreme quality saint artifact axe in his hand dimmed slightly, as if it could not last much longer.

The Darknight City below was affected as well. The ripples of energy destroyed many streets and buildings. Large numbers of weaker cultivators fled for their lives.

“Proud Ice King, if you don’t finish off this person quickly, the Darknight City will be destroyed by your hands,” a resonant voice rang out from the Darknight City. It was mocking him.

The voice came from another king. He had always been on bad terms with the Proud Ice King.

At the same time, several kings vanished from within the Darknight City, along with a great group of late G.o.dkings. These people all scattered into the surroundings with their presences concealed, forming a net. They seemed to encapsulate the entire region, enveloping all four directions to prevent Jian Chen from escaping.

Let alone the Darknight City, even the entire Darkstar race would not let such a powerful outsider escape.

Provoked by the mocking remarks, the Proud Ice King fell into a rage. He immediately stopped holding back and an icy sword appeared in his hand.

The sword was a supreme quality saint artifact, as well as the Proud Ice King’s strongest weapon. Now that the sword had been drawn, it meant that the Proud Ice King was unleas.h.i.+ng his full strength.

At the same time, in the city lord’s estate.

“City lord, whether it’s inside or outside the city, all the arrangements have been completed. We are certain that the outsider cannot escape,” caretaker Hong reported to the city lord Bai Jin.

Bai Jin nodded, “Good. Send out the Swift Wind King, Sword Wielding King, Dark Shadow King, Heavenly Fist King and Earth Quaking King. Have them work with the Proud Ice King to kill this person.”
