SWORD OF CHOAS, VOLUME 10 - Season 21 Episode 82

The Profound Sword Qi moved just too quickly. It was so fast that Gong Zheng was unable to respond to it. He could only watch on as the finger-sized sword Qi approached his forehead at an unbelievable speed.

Spurt!

Like a hot knife through butter, the Profound Sword Qi tore through Gong Zheng’s layers of protection and punctured his forehead, striking his soul.

Immediately, Gong Zheng experienced excruciating pain in his soul. He could not help but produce a heart-wrenching scream, and he even struggled to remain afloat. He struggled along the way as he directly fell to the ground, landing heavily.

Gong Zheng was a supreme Godking from the Godkings’ Throne. Not only was his strength great, but his soul was powerful as well, so he did not die after receiving Jian Chen’s Profound Sword Qi.

However, his soul was heavily injured, making it impossible for him to recover quickly. He was incapacitated.

Originally, Jian Chen wanted to pursue and kill Gong Zheng off for good because in his current state, he could not fight back at all. Let alone Godkings, but even an Overgod could kill him.

However, after he looked over at the three powerful presences in the distance that rapidly grew closer, Jian Chen could not help but give up on that thought. Even though killing Gong Zheng would only take a split second, that split second could determine life or death.

Nearby, Cang Ying’s face paled slightly when he personally witnessed Gong Zheng’s fate. His gaze towards Jian Chen was filled with deep fear.

However, in the next moment, Cang Ying’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Dread filled his face as he saw a second strand of Profound Sword Qi above Jian Chen’s head. Jian Chen looked over, and the Profound Sword Qi targeted him.

With Gong Zheng’s fate presented right before him, Cang Ying’s fear towards the Profound Sword Qi had risen to the point where he was frightened by the attack or even terrified of it. Seeing how Jian Chen was about to send the second strand of Profound Sword Qi his way, he shot backwards without any hesitation, basically out of reflex. Azure light flickered around him as he unleashed his full speed, arriving ten thousand kilometers away in a single instance. He looked at Jian Chen from there as his heart was filled with fear and caution. He was already ready to flee at any time.

Originally, Jian Chen wanted to use the second strand of Profound Sword Qi to heavily injure Cang Ying, but seeing how he had already retreated to over ten thousand kilometers away, he was no longer in Jian Chen’s way, which was naturally something Jian Chen wished to see. He stowed the second strand of sword Qi away immediately and quickly fled with Kai Ya.

Jian Chen did not want to use the Profound Sword Qi if he did not have to because every time he used a strand, it would drain a great deal of the power of his soul and would affect his battle prowess. Cang Ying and mister Shu were not his only opponents, as there were also many other people who had gathered here for his treasures.

As a result, he had to preserve some strength against the many Godkings in the surroundings when he fought Cang Ying and mister Shu.

But right now, several supreme Godkings were gathering here, which made Jian Chen feel great danger. He could only use the Profound Sword Qi, as he had no other choice.

Even though he had only used a single strand of Profound Sword Qi, it had drained a third of the power of Jian Chen’s soul. Immediately, he experienced a weak sense of dizziness.

However, the depletion from a single strand of Profound Sword Qi did not affect Jian Chen too much. Taking advantage of this temporary moment, Jian Chen and Kai Ya shot off into the distance.

At the same time, the owners of the three powerful presences had arrived. A thick layer of light caused by laws surrounded them, obscuring their appearance. Only a blurry figure could be made out through the light. They were two women and one man.

As soon as they arrived, a terrifying pressure flooded out in the surroundings. Many weaker Godkings felt like they were suffocating as if a rock was pressed against their chest.

The three of them were no weaker than Cang Ying and Gong Zheng. They were also supreme Godkings who ranked on the Godkings’ Throne, making them extremely powerful.

As soon as the three supreme Godkings arrived, they stared at Gong Zheng, who squirmed on the ground as he clutched his head and called out painfully. Their faces changed as a result.

“Gong Zheng’s soul is injured. I can sense that at least half of it has collapsed. It’ll be impossible for him to recover from an injury like this in a short amount of time,” said a woman among the three. Her voice was like the sounds of nature and extremely pleasant, enough to tempt people into wanting to see her true appearance.

“Gong Zheng also came down from the tenth floor. Even if he did get here first, he was not much faster. Just who injured Gong Zheng so heavily in such a short amount of time?” The second woman asked. Her otherworldly voice was stern.

“The person who injured Gong Zheng is called Jian Chen.” At this moment, Cang Ying had returned from the distance. His face was stern as he explained, “Jian Chen knows an extremely powerful secret technique. He shot a strand of finger-sized sword Qi. It’s extremely powerful and fast, specialised in targeting the souls of people. It can catch people off-guard. Gong Zheng was injured by this secret technique.”

Afterwards, Cang Ying told the three people some basic information, including the fact that Xiao Man, who was protected by the world, was with Jian Chen. He did not hide that fact.

After witnessing the might of the Profound Sword Qi, Cang Ying had truly seen Jian Chen’s strength. He knew it was impossible for him to handle Jian Chen alone. As a result, he needed to work with other supreme Godkings.

“That person’s secret technique is indeed very powerful to injure Gong Zheng so much from a single strike. However, the more powerful a secret technique is, the greater its cost. As a result, I can deduce that he can’t use this secret technique many times. As long as we’re careful, it’s not impossible to dodge it,” the man among the three supreme Godkings said with a firm voice.

“No matter how powerful that person called Jian Chen is, we have to stop him and take back the girl. However, Jian Chen isn’t easy to deal with either. Let’s work together,” suggested the woman who spoke first. She looked towards the other two people who had come with her and Cang Ying.

“Sure. Once we get the girl, we can share the secret on her together,” said the man.

Very soon, the four of them reached an agreement to work together. They shot off in Jian Chen’s direction in pursuit.

During this time, more and more people joined in. Not only were there several regular Godkings, but another three supreme Godkings from the Godkings’ Throne had come as well.

As a result, the supreme Godkings who pursued Jian Chen and Kai Ya increased time and time again, until there were seven of them.
