Like Lin Jingyu and Mo Jianfei, Murong Long was surprised to see Jiang Chen have improved so much.
“That’s why you act so arrogant before me… but there is one thing you aren’t clear of yet, the most important thing. The top three of the Dragon Rise List are extraordinary!”
When he had finished speaking, Murong Long’s fist had transformed into something like the burning sun. Those on the ground closed their eyes one by one. They only dared use their holy awareness to see.
Jiang Chen started to step back. A disturbing noise came from his iron arm.
Murong Long’s fist power was positively limitless.
“Kalpa of Reincarnation—Smash the Sky!”
Jiang Chen had to turn to the second variation of the dragons’ martial arts techniques. He stopped in the air with his undefeatable iron fists and dazzling light.
It looked as though two suns had collided. The power was so oppressively strong that no one watching felt safe. They started to retreat to the far ends of the mountain.
It didn’t take long for Jiang Chen and Murong Long’s power to be released. Blares kept coming from the ground. Rocks were cracking. A mountain collapsed directly.
In the air, the two had separated. Neither of them was at an advantage.
“What kind of power is this? One of the martial arts techniques of the Dragon Dynasty?”
Murong Long started to observe Jiang Chen’s dragon armor carefully. He felt jealous. He had dragon blood, so he could use the dragon power to manipulate the dragons’ martial arts techniques, too.
“Jiang Chen, no matter what kind of dragon armor you’re wearing, if you give it to me, I won’t kill you right now,” said Murong Long.
There was a trap in what he had said. He said he wouldn’t kill Jiang Chen for the moment, but once they left, the Murongs would do it anyway.
“Do you all like to bullsh*t in the middle of a fight?” Jiang Chen said, smiling coldly.
“You were forced to use your unique movement, but I haven’t used mine yet. You should know that,” Murong Long said unhappily.
“How do you know I’m not holding something back?”
“You just don’t want to admit it!”
Murong Long lost interest. Grasping the handle of the golden knife, he said, “My fight doctrine level is high enough to allow me to use my knife as I like. What about you?”
As he had said, that fist attack was only a casual one.
“I don’t mind having this fight.” Jiang Chen drew out his Red Cloud Sword. The others didn’t understand why he had done this.
When he had been fighting against Green Ghost, he had exposed that his fight doctrine level wasn’t high enough for him to use sword. If he insisted on using it, his strength would be weakened instead.
“It turns out I’m talking to an idiot,” Murong Long smiled. The knife had been drawn out of its sheath. The blade was s.h.i.+ning. The power of the knife was surging.
Unlike the fist, the knife’s sharpness and fierceness were fatal.
Without using any knife movement, he dashed over directly and waved it.
The radiance of the knife was like a thin golden screen made of light. If one was facing it from the right angle, one wouldn’t notice its existence.
“His knife skill of fierce dragons has improved again!” said Yin Jue.
As one of the top ten on the Dragon Rise List, he knew Murong Long quite well.
When he had broken through to the Reaching Heaven State, Murong Long was developing his seventh extraordinary meridian, which had shocked the whole Dragon Field. Besides that, his dragon blood was extremely pure, and he was a successor to the knife skill.
All this made him one of the top three of the Dragon Rise List in a very short time. And he had kept this rank until that day.
“Deploy the tactical formation!”
Jiang Chen looked like he didn’t care about the fight at all, but in fact, he treated it more seriously than any fight he had ever had before. Murong Long was the strongest rival he had ever met. It was impossible for him to win on his own at that point.
The members of the Holy Sword Society, who had been waiting for a long time, came into the air under Ying Wushuang’s lead. They stood behind Jiang Chen.
Each person was holding a sword in their hand. They found their positions swiftly and started to manipulate the tactical formation.
When Murong Long struck, the sword formation had been formed. Everyone, including Jiang Chen, turned into a holy sword.
“Gos.h.!.+ What formation is this?”
“Even when men and sword turn into one, there will be shadows of humans, but so many people have just vanished!”
“Murong Long’s knife has been dodged!”
The radiance of the knife fell on the holy sword. The sword was so sharp that it tore the radiance of the knife apart. Through this method, the knife attack was cracked.
Then a hand appeared on the handle of the holy sword. Jiang Chen appeared, still in his dragon armor, his long hair blowing in the wind. It was difficult to tell whether he was real or virtual, since he was flickering.
“How many skills does he have?!” someone couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Murong Long, let’s see which one was more powerful, your knife skill, or my swordsmans.h.i.+p!”
Jiang Chen was very lucid. This was still the way he usually talked, just as if the others’ energies had all been injected into him.
The most obvious improvement brought on by the tactical formation was that it allowed Jiang Chen to rid himself of the restrictions of the fight doctrine.
He could exert the Immortal Doctrine of Sword to the utmost!
“The Rainbow Sword Method: Three Movements in One!”
Jiang Chen held his sword tip up. Wild wind was blowing. He looked majestic, reminding people of G.o.ds in history books who had fought against fierce beasts.
“Even the smallest ants can bring people trouble.”
Murong Long wasn’t afraid of him at all, but his focus had s.h.i.+fted from the target of killing Jiang Chen to the fight itself. He had started to take it seriously.
Murong Long clenched his index finger and middle finger together, brandis.h.i.+ng his knife with his right hand.
“Dragon Teeth Smas.h.!.+”
In less than a second, the knife’s radiance wasn’t just s.h.i.+ning. It was changing along the knife’s blade following a certain pattern.
Although it was impossible to see what it was, it was easy to sense the power of this knife attack.
The two exchanged another blow. The knife and the sword hit against each other, and Murong Long’s sword tip transformed into a dragon head, biting with its open mouth.
Three Movements in One couldn’t hurt Murong Long. It could only deal with the knife.
Three bolts of purple lightning fell at the same time to form a mysterious triangle, which pulled the dragon teeth out.
“Dragon Claw Demolishes!”
But Murong Long had some tricks up his sleeve. The knife in his hand was swift and fatal. He pointed it at Jiang Chen’s heart.
“A Sword Attack without Permanence!”
Jiang Chen had expected this. He stood askance and threw his sword out.
“What?”
Murong Long turned pale and clenched his right fist. A holy dragon flew from under his feet, up into the air. At the same time, he flicked Jiang Chen’s sword away.
Of course, since he had turned on his protective energy jar, his knife had lost its lethality.
No one had gained anything, but since Murong Long had switched on his protective energy jar first, it was fair enough to say Jiang Chen was at an advantage.
“He’s really powerful. He’s managed to fight against Murong Long like this!”
The crowd, standing very far away, was struck dumb. They had always thought pessimistically about Jiang Chen. They had never expected him to achieve this level.
Although it was thanks to the tactical formation, since the two were comparing their knife skills and sword skills, it was almost a compet.i.tion in terms of martial arts techniques.
“He’s relying on the tactical formation, not a match for brother Long at all!”
The Murongs wouldn’t accept it. They were simply making sarcastic comments.
“Your brother, Long, is five years older than Jiang Chen. A whole five years. Aren’t you embarra.s.sed that you claimed this was unfair?” Han Siming refuted.
The Murongs went silent. They knew this, actually.
“Ah!”
The crowd was about to look up when the spiritual spells on them suddenly started to burn extremely unexpectedly.
So were Jiang Chen and Murong Long’s spiritual spells.
The spells were supposed to point to the exit. By then, they had burnt to ashes, but the exit still hadn’t shown up.
“The exit was supposed to appear a long time ago,” someone said.
No one felt right.
