Desperate Xue Liang

Jiang Chen froze. The current Xue Liang was under the bloodsucking effect of the Killing Platform which deprived him of his strength to continue the battle. Moreover, his life was in danger. Jiang Chen must save him first. Otherwise, Xue Liang could possibly lose his life.

Bing Yun and Qian Renji instantly went inside the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, leaving behind Xuan Yuanqi who was in utter confusion. His attack landed directly at the place where Jiang Chen was standing but it didn’t stir up any dust because the latter had already disappeared.

“A Space Divine Tool?”

Xuan Yuanqi was dumbfounded and his expression changed slightly. Inwardly, he was feeling more excited than ever. A Space Divine Tool was something that was relatively rare to find, especially the one that could allow the user to hide inside it. It was impossible for this item to leave this place. Once Xuan Yuanqi found it, he would certainly get rid of Jiang Chen at all costs and seize it.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Flame The Enlightened also had the same idea in mind. Everyone knew how precious a Space Divine Tool that allowed its user to enter the space within the tool was. Even Divine Emperors might not necessarily possess such an item. This Divine King brat, however, was actually blessed with such luck?

“What a powerful Killing Platform. It’s so monstrous!”

Scarlet Flame The Enlightened increasingly liked this Killing Platform. Today, however, Xuan Yuanqi was the only person who could rival him.

“Brother Xuan Yuan, what if you give this Killing Platform to me? When I discover treasures in the future, I’ll give them to you. Otherwise, I’m afraid there won’t be an end to our fight even if we battle until the night falls. What’s the point of that? What if you and I join forces? We can surely achieve great things together.”

“Hehe. Then, why don’t you give the Killing Platform to me? When I discover treasures next time, I’ll also give them to you. What do you think?”

Xuan Yuanqi said with a chuckle.

“*Sigh* It seems like between you and me, one of us must fall today. Since you don’t trust me, we’re both destined to suffer huge losses.

Scarlet Flame The Enlightened shook his head and spoke. Well, they both were similar as neither of them believed in each other. Thus, it would be impossible for them to cease the fight.

Lan Luo, on the other hand, was severely injured by Jiang Chen. The current her had already lost most of her combat power and it was nearly impossible for her to have a chance at seizing the Killing Platform.

“Miss Luo, what if you give me a hand in this fight? So long as I win against this guy, I’ll let you have the Killing Platform which will serve as my dowry. You can then marry me and join my family. What do you think?”

Xuan Yuanqi’s eyes glistened as he looked toward Lan Luo. At the same time, Lan Luo’s expression became even more solemn. As still as a mountain, she silently cast a glance at Xuan Yuanqi and then said with a cold tone, “I’m afraid that by the time you get your hands on the Killing Platform, I will no longer be important, right? Humph.”

Lan Luo’s words stunned Xuan Yuanqi. This lady was quite smart. Indeed, even though he wanted her to marry him, she was still worthless compared to the Killing Platform. And she actually noticed this fact.

“Apparently, you’ve always been doubting my admiration for you. Fine. I’ll seize this Killing Platform for you and make it our love token. Hehe.”

Xuan Yuanqi smirked. If Lan Luo was willing to submit to him, he would be very willing to be her companion. After all, if she agreed to marry him, his status in the Xuan Yuan Family would certainly rise as well. At that time, being promoted as a genuine core disciple was something that would certainly happen. Unfortunately, being able to establish a firm foundation in the Xuan Yuan Family was not something easy even for someone as strong as him.

Within the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, Bing Yun and Qian Renji were slightly dazed with astonishment rising within their hearts. Jiang Chen’s Ancestral Dragon Pagoda had let them witness the definition of real terror. It made them realize how deep and powerful Jiang Chen’s background was. However, even so, the most important matter right now was to think of a way to save Xue Liang.

Jiang Chen sensed that Xue Liang’s body was becoming hotter and hotter. If it wasn’t for the Five Elemental Divine Fire, Jiang Chen probably could not even hold Xue Liang’s hands. The latter’s blood was so hot that it was nearly starting to boil.

“If this goes on, Xue Liang will be devoured alive by that bizarre Killing Platform.”

Bing Yun said with anxiety. She was on the verge of breaking down but there was nothing she could do to help him.

“Is the Killing Platform really this frightening?”

Jiang Chen tried fighting fire with fire by infusing the power of the Five Elemental Divine Fire into Xue Liang’s body. However, he gave up after trying for just a second. It was because the moment the Five Elemental Divine Fire came into contact with Xue Liang’s body, the heat waves within him started to intensify terrifyingly.

“I can’t…. I can’t hold on any longer… I’m going to explode!”

Xue Liang’s face turned blood-red. His whole body stiffened and became as thin as a stick. Fresh blood kept evaporating from his body. Simultaneously, the blood light on the Killing Platform also grew scarier.

“Cold River Stone!”

Jiang Chen pressed the Cold River Stone against Xue Liang’s body. At that moment, Xue Liang felt an immense sense of relief. His expression looked less distressed.

“It’s so soothing…”

Xue Liang muttered. Even so, his lips were already completely cracked. The blood light in his eyes was gradually diminishing but Jiang Chen still felt something was not right because a heat wave that was much more terrifying than before had struck again. Even the Cold River Stone seemed unable to suppress the frightening heat wave brought upon by the Killing Platform!

“This is still not working!”

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth. Now, no one had a way to help Xue Liang recover. His face shrivelled and his cheeks became sunken. The fresh blood in his body was almost dried up by the heat wave within him.

“No, I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this!”

Xue Lian’s roar was deafening like a thunderclap. Bing Yun’s eyes were bursting with anger. She had never expected that Big Brother Bai would be devoured by the Killing Platform. Jiang Chen suddenly raised his head. Xue Liang’s body could no longer endure such pressure. Under the contradicting power of ice and fire, it would only make him suffer even more.

In the next moment, Xue Liang’s body became distorted. Moreover, he was gradually sucked away by an unimaginably terrifying power. Jiang Chen clenched to Xue Liang’s body but his action was futile. That mysterious power even made Jiang Chen feel helpless. Even one who had the strength equivalent to that of nine dragons and ten elephants would also have difficulty withstanding that kind of power.

Xue Liang’s body was completely drawn out from the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda by the bizarre power from the Killing Platform. He was dragged into the Killing Platform right in front of Jiang Chen’s and Bing Yun’s eyes that were full of despair!

“NO——-“

Bing Yun could not believe the scene that had just happened right before her eyes and collapsed on the ground. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, fell into silence. He took a deep breath, feeling extremely upset and disappointed. His best friend was devoured by the Killing Platform right under his nose and he could do nothing about it.

“Man isn’t omnipotent. You don’t have to blame yourself too much.”

Qian Renji looked toward Jiang Chen and consoled with a soft tone.

“If he isn’t to be blamed, who else should I blame? If it wasn’t because of him who insisted on seizing the Killing Platform, how would Xue Liang be severely injured by those two bastards? How would he die and leave Bing Yun alone…?”

Bing Yun knelt on the ground and choked with heartbreaking sobs. Jiang Chen’s heart was also moved by her sadness.

“I’ll make them pay with their blood!”

Jiang Chen clenched his fists tightly and raised his head, glaring at the endless sky above the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. A silent flame of anger started to rage within him.
