Chapter 474: Turning on the Transmitting Formation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The giant evil sword stopped falling. Cracks started to spread from the tip.

It was like a crystal on the verge of breaking. When Jiang Chen had come up to the handle of the sword, he pointed his sword at Su Xing.

The evil sword exploded at this moment. The radiance of the sword was released as a strong power that broke rocks, shocked the sky, and deafened the people present.

Jiang Chen and Su Xing were submerged in the power, too. It was very dangerous.

Yin Shuang and Ying Wushuang were extremely anxious. They wanted to go to his rescue, but were pushed away by the spreading power.

No one was able to stand still until they had retreated at least three miles. When they looked up again, they could only see Jiang Chen and Su Xing.

Surprisingly, Jiang Chen wasn’t in a very good condition. He was staggering in the air.

“I lost.”

But it was Su Xing who threw in the towel.

When he had admitted his defeat, his body became as thin as a piece of paper, torn apart by a shapeless power. There was no blood, but the pieces of him vanished from the world.

In the end, Su Xing disappeared. The flute broke into two and fell.

This was the power of a blood contract. Su Xing had been eliminated by the power of the curse.

However, the bystanders didn’t understand what had happened, since it was Jiang Chen who had seemed to be at a disadvantage.

“He was exhausted, while Jiang Chen, whose fight doctrine level isn’t as good as his, could go on fighting. Besides, Jiang Chen is better with fists, so Su Xing was willing to admit defeat. The blood contract worked,” said Li Nanxing, in a melancholic and sympathetic tone.

The crowd tumbled to the realization, but they were still puzzled by Su Xing’s generous behavior, which was unusual of him.

“That was the last of his dignity,” said Li Nanxing.

“You were a respectable rival,” Jiang Chen said towards the spot where Su Xing had vanished.

The disciples of the Evil Cloud Palace sighed desperately. They were leaving, since they had recognized the situation, throwing the liquid with the effect of Mad Demon Elixirs anywhere.

Jiang Chen stopped them. “Give me what you have.” Before those people from the Evil Cloud Palace could show any pleasant surprise, he said, “I’ll restrain your power. After leaving here, you’ll be put in prison by the Hero Palace. Think about it.”

To die, or to serve their time?

Without too much hesitation, they chose the latter. Living, no matter how tragic, is always better than death.

Jiang Chen had decided to leave them there, not caring whether they lived or died, but Su Xing’s death changed his mind.

As a disciple of the Hero Palace, killing criminals and preventing crimes were his responsibilities, but if making a mistake also meant one deserved to die, there wouldn’t be any prisons.

“List A of the Dragon Rise List finally has a number one!”

After the situation with the Evil Cloud Palace was over, the others were left extremely excited. Even in such a situation, no matter how competitive they were, they cheered for Jiang Chen’s victory.

In some sense, Jiang Chen had only managed to achieve the top because Murong Long and Li Nanxing had been Venerables, so the number one spot was like a gift to him.

If it had been another, many might have thought this way.

But it was Jiang Chen, so it was different. With his age and his state, people even thought that if Murong Long and Li Nanxing hadn’t broken through to Venerable, it wouldn’t have taken long for Jiang Chen to defeat them in a fight to compete for the number one spot.

Putting Li Nanxing aside, before Murong Long broke through to Venerable, Jiang Chen had been tied with him.

So Jiang Chen was worth this rank.

Yue Lansheng felt more and more bitter.

When she had claimed her man must be number one on the Dragon Rise List, there hadn’t been a number one yet. She had just wanted to tell Jiang Chen to stop coveting her and give up on the idea.

No one had anticipated that Jiang Chen would really become number one of the list on the last day and win so many people over.

When Jiang Chen went back into the crowd, the crowd stepped aside to give him enough space. Surrounding him, they didn’t dare approach him too much, afraid to annoy him.

Only those who got along well with Jiang Chen came up. Under people’s envious gazes, they congratulated Jiang Chen on his victory.

Yin Shuang noticed Jiang Chen needed some rest, not just physically, but also mentally, so she called the others away so that Jiang Chen could stay in the forest alone.

Jiang Chen treated his wounds first. Then instead of leaving immediately, he laid down on a thick tree branch.

“Are you feeling pity that you’ve lost a good rival?” Li Nanxing suddenly asked from the canopy of the tree. He had been there since who knew when.

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised at all. He sighed, “The thing between Su Xing and me wasn’t anything personal, but he ended up dead, and there was no other way.”

“Are you thinking about a universal harmony where there is no killing and everyone can focus on martial arts techniques?”

“I’m not that naive. Where there are human beings, there is conflict. It’s inevitable,” said Jiang Chen.

Li Nanxing nodded. He said, “You’re already number one on the Dragon Rise List. All across the Dragon Field, and even the whole continent, no Reaching Heaven State is your rival. Venerable is another level. You’ll feel lonely for a long time.”

“I know.”

“Don’t get too proud. Though number one on the Dragon Rise List is, of course, a great achievement, it’s only the Dragon Rise List. Keep improving yourself.”

“Thank you for your teachings, Apprentice Brother Li,” said Jiang Chen.

“Teachings? I just want a rival.” Li Nanxing smiled gently. Jiang Chen didn’t see him move, but he disappeared quietly without leaving a trace.

The next day, the transmitting formation was ready.

Under everyone’s gazes, Jiang Chen turned it on.

“Where will we be transmitted? Is it random?” A question occurred to someone.

“The Sacred City,” said Jiang Chen.

Smiling bitterly, those of the Evil Cloud Palace glanced at each other. If it was the Sacred City, it would be impossible for them to escape.

It was morning in the Sacred City at that moment.

Everyone was holding the Sacred Daily in their hands, checking the updated news.

It was like a bomb had been dropped on the Dragon Field these days—none of those who had entered the small world had left!

All the groups were anxious because of it. Although they were only Reaching Heaven States, and as a result, the Dragon Field’s strength wouldn’t be affected, if they lost these youngsters, it would only take the other fields a couple dozen years to catch up with the Dragon Field.

That day, the up-to-date news in the paper said they’d confirmed the past few days had been the golden period to reopen the exit.

Once this period was missed, the small world would fall into a very unstable status, and if the exit was opened after that, it might bring about the small world’s extinguishment.

Many people burst out in curses after reading the news, because during those days, the situation in the Dragon Field had been rather turbulent. Although in the end, no war had broken out, Venerables had had more fights than usual. As a result, the best time for a rescue had been missed.

And then it had turned out that all of these youngsters would be trapped in the small world until their deaths.

The whole Sacred City fell into sorrow. Many families had sent their children into the small world.

Right then, a violent fluctuation of energy appeared over the Sacred City, as if the city were under attack from an alien world.
