Chapter 873: Future Sword Venerable
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The following battle broadened many people’s horizons, and many peak Celestial Venerables learned for the first time how powerful they could be.
There were only five people left, and the fight hadn’t become boring because the number of contests left was low. In fact, it became even more brilliant because all five of the remaining people demonstrated exceptional power.
Even Wu Ziming, who no one thought highly of, managed to persist for a long time and was only eliminated after he had demonstrated a brilliant performance.
He’s really powerful enough to fight me, Jiang Chen said to himself.
When Wu Ziming had dropped in the last time to challenge him, he hadn’t taken him seriously, but now he couldn’t help but change his opinion after he witnessed his true power.
The crowd had assumed that the second person to be eliminated would be the Ice Spirit Clan’s saint because the other three contestants were the mysterious masked experts, and they surely wouldn’t lose easily. However, the second person to be eliminated was unexpectedly the swordsman who Jiang Chen had paid attention to.
Jiang Chen didn’t need the Azure Demon’s help to realize that the sword’s power released by this guy wasn’t very strong. It wasn’t that his power was really low, but that he had been unlucky, and suffered the joint attack of the Ice Spirit Clan’s saint and the phoenix mask expert.
Finally, only three people were left, and they carried out an intense battle and used many dazzling spirit techniques. People were exclaiming loudly about all the amazing techniques, and they all managed to widen their horizons. They all agreed that they hadn’t taken a trip here in vain.
After a long time had passed, the Ice Spirit Clan’s saint and the phoenix masked man were defeated, and they were both eliminated. In the end, it was the black-masked man who won the Future Spirit Emperor’s title.
This, of course, gave rise to a huge commotion in the Spirit Clan’s camp, and they wanted to learn to which Spirit Clan that person belonged. None of them had managed to figure it out through his spirit techniques. However, an ordinary Spirit Clan couldn’t train and raise such an outstanding genius.
“Would the world’s ruler be replaced by someone else?”
Many people from the older generation felt that the Title Palace was distinctly different this time, and they started making guesses about it.
“It is still the Spirits’ battles which are the most spectacular.”
“The number of our Spirit Clan’s experts is higher than humans by much.”
“Who does the Human Clan have? They have just Song Hao, Jiang Zhe, Ning Haotian, as well as Jiang Chen. They have at most four people, so how can they compete against our Spirit Clan?” All the Spirit Clan’s youngsters became super-excited and they couldn’t stop incessant clamoring. It was humans who had taken the limelight before, and they were all annoyed by such a matter.
The Junior Fist King was Jiang Zhe, the Junior Heavenly King was Jiang Chen, the Junior Overlord was Ning Haotian.
But now, a three golden words title had appeared, and it was gotten by a Spirit. They all felt like they could finally let out a breath.
“Jiang Chen, are you afraid?” After Wu Ziming had recuperated, he looked over to Jiang Chen while wearing a sharp look. He said, “Don’t assume that you are stronger than me just because you managed to subdue me through a sneak attack.
“You are really a sore loser, aren’t you?” Jiang Chen said mockingly.
“You!” What Wu Ziming hated most was Jiang Chen’s mocking look, and he really wished to tear him to shreds.
“Don’t get anxious, we will all get an opportunity to deal with him.” Huo Zhengyu, who had also demonstrated a brilliant performance, walked over to him. His black eyes were ice-cold, and anyone would feel a chill on seeing them. Even though Huo Zhengyu was a Fire Spirit, he still could make people feel ice-cold. Thus, one could only imagine how bitter his hatred was.
“Jiang Chen, even if you manage to evade us, you still won’t evade the disasters awaiting you,” Huo Zhengyu said.
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s imagination ran wild, and they all looked toward the phoenix masked man. If this person was really the Fire Spirit Clan’s spiritual son, he would not forgive Jiang Chen because of what he had done.
“I’m really looking forward to it,” Jiang Chen said. Those were heartfelt words because when he had witnessed the Spirits’ battle, he felt his blood racing, and he really had an enormous desire to fight to his heart’s content.
Jiang Chen’s gaze looked at the stone tablet, and he muttered, “Don’t disappoint me.”
It seemed as if the stone tablet listened to his wish, and a title, which shouldn’t have appeared, appeared there. Three words appeared faintly there, and they were all shining in a dazzling golden light.
However, by now, the crowd had almost started getting used to the appearance of titles with golden words.
“Why has the appearance of three golden words in a title already become such a usual matter?” Someone stated what most people were thinking to themselves.
The Future Sword Venerable!
Now the crowd got to see clearly the title, and they all went into an uproar.
“It has gone insane! It has really gone insane!”
A Future Spirit Emperor’s title had just appeared, and it was followed by the Future Sword Venerable. Even though they were shocked, some people still cast their gazes toward Wang Teng, who had come here for Tian Ling’s birthday. He was the past Junior Sword Venerable, but now that a Future Sword Venerable’s title had appeared, it was unknown what he would think about this.
However, Wang Teng’s expression was just as solemn as before, and he wasn’t showing any other emotions.
“Jiang Chen, unsheathe your sword!” Song Hao, who was titled the Human Clan’s greatest swordsman, shouted loudly and was the first person to fly into the air. He was always waiting, waiting for the appearance of a title related to the sword, and the Future Sword Venerable’s title was obviously the most suitable for him. He would surely get this three golden words title.
Jiang Chen didn’t give this matter much thought, and he also flew into the sky impatiently and looked mockingly at the other person in the sky.
“Since it’s you who want me to unsheathe my sword, please don’t regret it later,” Jiang Chen said.
“It would be better for you to use your whole power because I won’t hold anything back. I will kill you and take back the Ancient Sword,” Song Hao said.
There wasn’t any single person who had died until now, but it seemed like Song Hao wanted to be the first person to commit a murder.
“I won’t disappoint you.” Jiang Chen looked at the sword on his back. He was also looking forward to this.
“It wasn’t stated that only humans are allowed in this battle.”
“Don’t speak as if this is your one-man show.”
Some people came over from the Spirit Clan’s camp, and they were surprising well-known people like the sword wielder masked man, Huo Zhengyu, and Wu Ziming. Besides them, one of the three masked men, who hadn’t fought until now, had come over, and it was the white-masked man.
The white-masked man was one of the people suspected by Jiang Chen to be a swordsman. He had already ruled out the possibility of the black-masked man to be a swordsman, so there were only two suspects left. There was this one, as well as the woman wearing a mask with petals on it.
This was a fight between swordsmen, and since the woman didn’t go to the stage, it was obvious that she didn’t use a sword. So the answer was already obvious.
“Even though both of you use a sword, but you still mustn’t come over,” Song Hao looked at Huo Zhengyu and Wu Ziming and spoke with displeasure.
“Brother Song, you know our aims,” Wu Ziming said.
“I won’t let you get the credit for killing Jiang Chen,” Huo Zhengyu said.
It was obvious from those two people’s tones that they respected Song Hao. Song Hao was human, yet he still possessed much prestige. It was no wonder that he was titled the strongest swordsman. Now, Song Hao and two of the top fighters of the Spirit Clan all wanted to attack and kill Jiang Chen. He should not have not gone up on the stage.
All of a sudden, a group of people flew from the platform, and the two women, Tian Ling and Ji Yinyi, were among them.
“Even both of you?” Jiang Chen was emotionally moved.
“We came to fight over a title, so don’t take us for just a burden,” Tian Ling said with a smile.
“You must bear in mind that we are also your opponents,” Ji Yinyi said to Jiang Chen.
However, even though they said this, everyone knew that the two women had come over just to ease Jiang Chen’s burden.
“Jiang Chen will bear greater pressure this time than in the fight over the Junior Heavenly King’s title.”
“Of course he will. The Junior Heavenly King’s title has one golden word, while the Future Sword Venerable’s title has three golden words.”
