Chapter 357
Xue Jingtian was more or less as strong as Yuan Hong, who had died at Jiang Chen’s hand.
In Cloud Seven of the Reaching Heaven State, he was leading an elite team formed of Mental Wander States and a deputy general in Cloud Two.
This time, Jiang Chen had neither Dark Soldier Armor nor his warship. It was pretty dangerous for him to fight on his own, but the situation was too urgent for him to think. He formed the armor of thunder and dashed over.
The soldiers in the Mental Wander State all flew away. The clang of their armor kept rising and falling.
“You’re asking for it!”
Xue Jingtian and his deputy attacked at the same time. They weren’t holding anything back. Their powerful energies were released through different martial arts techniques. They intended to kill Jiang Chen right then and there.
Jiang Chen was already unable to resist such powerful energies, not to mention their advantage in martial arts techniques.
Guardians of the royal family were all entry-level Venerables, like Gao Yue, but since they didn’t have the blood of inheritance, their strength was much weaker than hers.
But unfortunately, Azure Demon couldn’t kill the guardian, since to do that, he would have to manipulate a force beyond the deva’s ability. Besides, the black dragon was consuming most of the energy of the eight groups of spiritual beings as it was.
The black dragon was dealing with two guardians alone. In addition, the Holy Dragon Cannons were also aimed at him.
This one minute felt like much longer than that.
“Done!”
Fortunately, Jiang Chen figured out the solution ahead of schedule. He stood up and called deva and naga back.
The key to cracking the pillar didn’t lie in the pillar itself, but in two palaces located in the imperial city.
One of them was the energy source of the Country Guarding Dragon Pillar.
The other was its kernel.
As long as one of them was destroyed, the pillar would be out of function.
However, when he was about to head there, three guardians stopped him.
“Human, I’ll give you the power of black dragon!” the naga said.
“The power of black dragon is the source of your soul. There isn’t much left. You’ll vanish if you give it to me,” said Jiang Chen.
The black dragon didn’t speak. He hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to think for him at such a crucial moment.
“I’ll recover in the eight groups. As long as you keep upgrading the scripture, the power of black dragon that has been consumed over the years will all recover.”
It wasn’t easy for him to deal with the two guardians at that moment, but it was only because the Black Dragon City had been drawing the force of his soul for almost 1,000 years.
“All right,” said Jiang Chen.
“Jiang Chen, go to hell. You won’t win.”
The guardians had been ready when Jiang Chen and the black dragon were communicating. They started to attack right away.
“You guardians of the royal family managed to become Venerables with the aid of external force. That’s nothing to boast about, and you’ll stay at that level for your entire life. How pathetic,” Jiang Chen scorned.
“Huh.”
The guardians were surprised that Jiang Chen knew their secrets. They didn’t hesitate to exert their killing moves.
It was difficult for Jiang Chen to resist the attack of three Venerables, as well, but with the aid of the power of black dragon, the power of the armor of thunder he was in suddenly surged. The electric arcs were extremely brilliant, as if they were solid.
“Let me warn you about one thing. My martial arts techniques are more skilled than most Venerables. Now that our power is equal, you’ll die.”
Jiang Chen threw his sword and knife out at the same time. Being strengthened by the power of black dragon, the two weapons flew over.
The guardians sensed danger, but it was too late.
