Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 197 - 189: Six Demons Attack_2
Chapter 197: Chapter 189: Six Demons Attack_2
Dang, dang, dang...
For a moment, the clanging sound of metal against metal was incessant.
By the time the sword light subsided, the two demons had already been injured, their clothes shredded and body riddled with countless wounds. Unstoppable fresh blood flowed out, gradually dyeing the ground red.
...
"Is the Demon Suppression Heavenly King this powerful?"
In the sky, the crowd was speechless with shock, witnessing Jiang Chen taking on two opponents without falling into disadvantage; on the contrary, he was gaining the upper hand.
The strength of the Bull Demon King was self-evident, otherwise, he would not be among the top demon kings in the Three Realms. Yet, such a figure, even when assisted by others, was severely wounded by Jiang Chen.
Just how strong was Jiang Chen’s ability?
The Seventh Fairy was also stunned. She only felt that this thief was more than a hundred times stronger than when they first met, making him increasingly difficult to deal with.
Heavenly King Li, on the other hand, wasn’t too shocked by Jiang Chen’s strength. He recognized that what Jiang Chen was practicing was the Ancient Martial Arts.
Being from a noble family in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he understood the power of Ancient Martial Arts better than anyone present. His ancestors, the forefathers of the Li Family, were extraordinary figures in Ancient Martial Arts.
Up until today, the lineage of Ancient Martial Arts still existed in the Li Family, it was just that nobody practiced it.
Not to mention the shock of the people in the sky, as soon as Jiang Chen saw the two demons injured, he knew that he couldn’t miss this opportunity. With a cold shout and without taking out any magical treasures, he directly used his hands as a sword, and his figure fluttered as he pounced on them.
Boom...
Although there was no sword in his hand, he had a sword in his heart. The invisible sword aura surged from his body, dominating the surroundings.
Thump, thump, thump!
With the sword aura surging, wherever Jiang Chen passed, the ground was shattering, rocks flying, and the landscape collapsing, all being shattered by the invisible sword aura.
"Kill!"
Before he could arrive, his sword intent had already reached the two demons, their injuries instantly aggravated by the strong sword pressure.
Struggling to stand up with their injuries, the two launched their divine abilities again, and once again fought with Jiang Chen.
Meanwhile, not far from Huaguo Mountain, a dragon’s aura suddenly rose, speeding towards them.
"Elder Brother, Third Brother, let me help you."
The dragon aura approached, transforming into a burly man in black armor wielding a halberd. It was the Flood Dragon Demon King, the second among Sun Wukong’s sworn brothers.
As soon as the demon arrived, he didn’t utter another word and joined the battlefield with his halberd, fighting Jiang Chen along with Peng Demon King and Bull Demon King.
With the addition of another enemy, Jiang Chen’s pressure suddenly doubled. However, he didn’t take out his Dragon-slaying Divine Sword or Sun God stick, but continued to fight the three demons barehanded.
He intended to use the three demons to hone his battle instincts.
Up to now, Jiang Chen had experienced too few great battles; he was far from experienced and his cultivation wasn’t yet seamless.
Yet, Ancient Martial Arts was born for struggle, to fight the heavens, the earth, the Demon Clan, the Fierce Beasts, and all enemies of the Human Race.
How could Jiang Chen, who always has everything going his way, truly comprehend the essence of Ancient Martial Arts and reach the peak of Martial Dao?
So, he wanted to use the three demons to bring immense pressure upon himself, aiding his transformation.
Closing his palms, he paused, not avoiding danger. He used both hands to strike, and fought valiantly against the three demons.
Driving the three demons back with a single attack, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, displaying his disdain, "Show your true strength as the top demon kings of the Three Realms, else, the Demon Suppression Hall will have three new prisoners today."
Hearing this, the three demons were filled with rage. They were all top demon kings of the Three Realms, receiving praise wherever they went. Never had they been looked down upon like this.
"As you wish, but don’t regret it."
As they spoke, the three of them held nothing back. The full force of their late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal power was unleashed, causing a mighty momentum that shook both heaven and earth.
"Kill!"
The anger in their hearts roared, and the three demons displayed their unique skills. Their weapons shone with a bright treasure light, enveloped in immense demon power, attacking Jiang Chen simultaneously.
Seeing the three demons rushing towards him with a ferocious momentum, Jiang Chen felt fearless. Instead, he felt a surge of fighting spirit rising in his heart, resounding and surging.
"Well done!"
With a loud yell, Jiang Chen bolted to meet the attack.
The immense pressure unleashed Jiang Chen’s potential. The Great Evolution Dao Scripture of the Human Race, mysteriously started to operate within him, releasing an inexplicable power.
Simultaneously, within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, the heritage of the ancient emperor Xi continued to unfold, revealing the peerless posture of the Great Ancient Emperor Xi overlooking Heaven and Earth.
Centering his mind, Jiang Chen fully visualized the divine posture of Emperor Xi. At once, the mysterious power released by the Great Evolution Dao Scripture started to gravitate towards the aura of Emperor Xi.
Standing between Heaven and Earth, Jiang Chen subconsciously reached out with both hands, one pointing to the sky, the other to the ground, forming an ultimate Law seal.
Boom!
A commanding force, akin to the presence of an emperor from the Nine Heavens, a tumultuous heavenly power, burst forth, effectively splitting the triad of demons charging forward.
With strong attacks opposing each other, both sides were shocked, sustaining injuries, they withdrew, spitting blood.
At this moment, Jiang Chen forcefully suppressed his injuries. Instead of retreating, he advanced, attacking swiftly. Despite the chaos, his attacks were orderly, pressing his opponents.
With a palm, he repelled the iron rod of the Bull Demon King, then with a swift kick, he pushed back the big halberd of the Flood Dragon Demon King. Gathering his breath, Jiang Chen counterattacked and met the sword of the Peng Demon King, saying:
"Your speed is too slow!"
As his words fell, the trio of demons was simultaneously forced back by Jiang Chen, crushing several mountain peaks behind them.
"Seeking death!"
Enraged, the trio of demons roared and transformed back into their original forms: a ten thousand meter Dapeng, a ten thousand meter Flood Dragon, and a ten thousand meter white bull.
This scene allowed Jiang Chen to recognize the origins of the Flood Dragon Demon King - one of the eight Dragon Congregations of Buddhism. The Dragon Congregation of the West is a completely different species from the Dragon Clan of the East, resembling the serpents, a variety of great snakes.
After the trio of demons revealed their true forms, their powers surged, each using their innate divine ability, stirring up gusts of bloody wind and lunging forward.
"Eight Desolate Wandering Dragon!"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn’t evade but activated the ancient Human race’s Eight Desolate Wandering Dragon divine ability. The aura of an Innate Emperor transformed into the aura of the Eight Desolate Wandering Dragon, assuming the form of thousands of dragons weaving through each other and spectacularly confronting the three demons.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
For a moment, the sounds of dragon roars were endless, echoing for tens of thousands of miles around Huaguo Mountain.
Boom!
A vast rumble, its echoes reaching the Nine Heavens. Then came the indescribable scene of rocks cracking and clouds exploding.
Amidst the booming sounds, the ground beneath the trio of demons and Jiang Chen crumbled, revealing the turbulent Eastern Sea below, and all four plummeted into the sea.
Although they were falling, the combat continued. Their desperate forms intertwined in the midst of the chaos, surprisingly captivating.
Seeing that the ground had collapsed, both parties resigned themselves to fight above the Eastern Sea.
As the sun gradually set, it cast shadows of their intense duel. Amidst the wild flurry, Jiang Chen’s abdomen was pierced by a feather from the Peng Demon King.
At the same time, Jiang Chen swung down a palm, creating a fierce sword light that cut off the horn on the head of the Flood Dragon Demon King.
As the fight continued, Jiang Chen became fiercer, and the blood stains on his body increased. Some were his, but others were his opponents’. His fighting spirit kept surging, driving him to frenzy.
Gradually, the sun set and rose again. The two sides had been battling for more than a day. The ferocity of their duels deterred others from intervening casually.
At this point, the trio of demons returned to human form and continued to battle with Jiang Chen, who, after a day’s fight, had progressed at a rapid rate.
When he unleashed his divine ability, there was no hindrance at all. His movements, while attacking or defending, displayed his divine ability at his will.
With every punch that he threw, the intent of severing, snapping, and chopping continued to circulate, showcasing the grace of Ancient Martial Arts.
Simultaneously, The Innate Eight Diagrams divine ability was also integrated and channelized by Jiang Chen. It operated autonomously within his Sea of Consciousness, accurately predicting the next move of the trio of demons, allowing him to anticipate his enemies’ movements.
Though the trio of demons had strong and clever divine abilities, they couldn’t hit Jiang Chen, and their defeat seemed imminent.
"Don’t worry, my brothers. Let me lend you a hand to finish off this monster."
Seeing the trio of demons gradually lose ground, their remaining oath-sworn brothers couldn’t sit still any longer. They hurriedly rushed to the Eastern Sea to join the battlefield.
