“You are going to kill me?” Jiang Chen asked.

Yao Yuntong found it hard to believe too. She had seen these four people before. They were kind of famous. However, they were going to attack their peers just because the Spirit had told them to?

Listening to Jiang Chen’s question, they looked at each other questioningly, and appeared much less aggressive.

Jiang Chen raised his brow. These four were not too bad.

“We don’t want to kill you. But the trouble you made has affected us. We are not happy with that.”

“Yeah.”

“If we can’t take the adventures this time, we’ll have to wait for another month. The Title Battle will start soon. We don’t have the time to wait.”

“What are you going to do? There is an Earth Spirit ahead who wants to kill you.”

The four people one by one expressed their thoughts.

“If you trust me, we can go together. You don’t have to worry even if we run into them,” Jiang Chen said.

The four were struck dumb. Not sure about Jiang Chen’s strength, they were hesitating.

“This is the Doctrine Palace. If someone dies, they’ll just throw the corpse off the cliff, and no one will ever find it ,” one of them said.

This was to tell Jiang Chen to take this seriously. The Spirit would kill for real. If the four were not ashamed of killing a human peer, they would attack Jiang Chen for real too.

“That’s perfect, isn’t it? That means we don’t have to worry about the consequences.” Jiang Chen still did not think it a big deal. He was very confident.

“In this case, can you show us what you’ve got first?” The four people still could not trust him completely. The strongest of them came forward.

“No problem.” Jiang Chen understood them, so he did not make things more difficult for them.

“You can call me Wu Hui.” He introduced himself. The weapon in his hand was also a sword.

Jiang Chen looked toward him. He was average-looking and of average height, but he had the elegance of a good sword cultivator, which suggested his great swordsmanship. He was a Celestial Venerable in the late stage, much stronger than Young Master Shenji.

However, Jiang Chen’s body was already the Nine Clouds Divine Body thanks to the wonderful effects brought by the Source Heaven Stone. Although his state stayed the same, thanks to the divine body, both his Alien Flame and his thunder had improved a lot.

“So, we are going to use sword....”

Jiang Chen was not going to gain the victory by using the divine body. He drew the Red Cloud Sword out of its sheath.

“It is a Doctrine Artifact!”

The Red cloud Sword emitted a strong heat. The blade was like a red flame, crystal and shining.

The four human’s eyes lit up. They could even perceive a killing intent from that sword.

Everyone would expose his dark side, especially when they were in a place like the Doctrine Palace, where no one was bound by rules. However, the killing intent disappeared quickly. A thought of greed flashed by. But it was reason that had taken charge.

“Please!”

Wu Hui attacked first. They could not fly here, so he moved forward with mysterious steps, which worked perfectly with his swordsmanship. With his unpredictable movement, he came up to Jiang Chen like a ghost.

Holding his sword in the right hand, Jiang Chen brushed against the blade with the index finger and the middle finger of his left hand. Fire was released like a fire dragon.

Wu Hui’s body was devoured by the fire immediately. Jiang Chen’s sword realm of fire emitted numerous white radiances.

However, Wu Hui’s three friends were not disturbed by such a scene. They showed complacent smiles instead.

Jiang Chen was surprised. Wu Hui suddenly showed up behind him. He had deceived Jiang Chen successfully and managed to avoid the sword realm of fire.

“The Three Middle Realms is full of strong people,” Jiang Chen exclaimed. Taking the Red Cloud Sword back, he threw it over right away again toward Wu Hui, who was dashing toward him as well with his sword.

“The momentum of his sword is so smooth!”

When the two swords hit, Wu Hui could not handle the quickness and the fierceness of the sword realm of fire. He turned to his mysterious steps again. His movement was once again unpredictable.

Jiang Chen made up his mind to switch on the Eye of Heaven. Looking around from a special visual angle, he would not allow anything to escape him.

Wu Hui lost his biggest advantage. He was being approached by Jiang Chen’s sword realm of fire.

“I lost!” Unable to hold out longer, Wu Hui took his sword back and went back where he had been.

“It’s almost a landslide victory.”

“He wasn’t affected by Wu Hui’s unpredictable movements. That’s really something.”

“Most important, he kept throwing his sword over, but it seemed he would never get exhausted. Wu Hui’s trick got him, but he still cracked Wu Hui’s sword attack.”

Amazed by Jiang Chen, Wu Hui’s three friends could not stop commending him for his performance. If they acted with Jiang Chen, they would not have to worry about Shui Mu’s threat at all.

“So, the hearsay is true. Jiang Chen has been practicing elixir refinement and martial arts techniques at the same time. He is good at everything.”

Wu Hui was totally convinced by Jiang Chen after the loss. He asked, “You didn’t go all out, did you?”

“I’m flattered,” Jiang Chen said modestly.

His Nine Clouds Divine Body was still functioning when the sword realm of fire was used. His rival had managed to hold out for several rounds. It was really amazing.

“Let’s take the challenge of the Third Palace.”

Seeing the episode over, Yao Yuntong said, “To pass the Third Palace, we must go through this palace. There are 18 stone statues inside. When people go inside, those statues will launch attacks with their weapons.”

“If only one person goes in, about two or three stone statues will join the attack. The more people there are, the more powerful those stone statues will be.”

She had experienced it a few times, so she knew it pretty well.

“We’d better go inside one by one, because the stone statues will attack based on the overall strength of the group. It’s quite unfair for those in a lower state,” Yao Yuntong said.

“Yeah. The previous three people also went inside one by one. Before them there was a Spirit called Fei Yu. When we got here, he had already gone into the palace, so we didn’t see him,” Wu Hui said.

Jiang Chen knew what he was implying. He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll go inside first, in case there is an ambush in the Fourth Palace.”

They all agreed. They saw Jiang Chen walking into the open gate.

The gate suddenly closed as soon as he went in. The people staying outside could perceive there was a great disturbance inside, as if there was a storm of energy.

“It’s not good. Is there anything wrong? Seems all of the stone statues have woken up.”

Yao Yuntong turned pale. Among other noises, she heard the stone statues come to life.

She counted them. All of the 18 statues had woken up.

The same thing only happened when extremely strong people came here to seek treasures. Since the youngsters began to take adventures here, no one had ever received such a treatment.

“Even the Martial Emperor’s apprentice, who completed a divine piece of arts in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, only awoke ten stone statues.” It did not make any sense to Yao Yuntong.

“We are doomed.” Wu Hui and his three friends were also struck dumb. They could hardly believe it.

The palace was a very big place, because there was nothing that could be moved away.

However, normal-sized stone statues were situated on three walls. None of them was for decoration. Their clothes and faces were all different. So were their weapons. When Jiang Chen was standing at the center of the palace, the stone statues kept giving off noises as well as energy.

“What’s going on?” Jiang Chen threw them a casual glance. Then five or six statues came to life and more started coming to life. In the end, all of the stone statues started to attack him.

They were still stone statues, but all of them were like alive. They could move around as they wished. They kept spitting out noises, and the weapons in their hands started to shine. All kinds of weapons made of energies were thrown over to him in the end, including sword, knife, spear, and even furnace and calabash.

“Seriously?”

Jiang Chen was speechless. Each of these stone statues had the strength of a Celestial Venerable in the peak stage.
