Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 872: Chapter 875: The Ancestor Standoff

Whoosh!

Li Batian, kneeling on the arena, let out a breath and rose to look at Jiang Chen.

”What? Planning a three-on-one?” After glancing at Yan Hu and Wu Qianxun, Li Batian sneered as he spoke.

”You may leave,” Jiang Chen said indifferently, his hand on the staff’s handle moved slightly, ready to draw the Blood Saber.

”Boy, don’t use that saber!” A faint voice rang by his ear.

Jiang Chen paused, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hesitated briefly before letting go of the handle and said again, ”Leave.”

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn’t draw his saber, Yan Hu glanced at Jiang Chen, who shook his head slightly.

Understanding, Yan Hu exchanged a look with Wu Qianxun and the two leaped off the platform.

Li Batian looked up at the Elder of the Youming Sect, a fleeting expression of extreme resentment flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He hadn’t planned on taking the stage initially, but just as he felt the matter didn’t concern him, he heard the Elder’s command: ”Don’t you have a Blood Pill? Kill that boy. If he grows up, he will become a great enemy to our Youming Hall!”

Therefore, Li Batian had reluctantly leaped onto the platform.

And the moment he did, he knew he was already dead because, with his own strength, he would never be able to slay Jiang Chen. All he could do was...

”Boy, to have me accompany you in death, you should be content!” Li Batian suddenly let out a mournful laugh.

Jiang Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, he watched Li Batian with vigilance.

Li Batian’s face darkened, his eyes showing a strong unwillingness, followed by a bitter laugh, ”If there is an afterlife, I really wish to be an ordinary person. Being controlled by others all my life, what’s the use of having power? Heh!”

With a self-mocking laugh, Li Batian took out a blood-red elixir and put it in his mouth!

”Blood Demon Pill?!!!!!”

Jiang Chen exclaimed in shock.

”What? Blood Demon Pill?!”

”Is that the Blood Demon Pill refined by the Blood Demon a thousand years ago?”

”Despicable! The Youming Sect is trying to kill the Head of the Jiang Family at all costs!”

”To kill the Head of the Jiang Family, are they really resorting to such a vile object?”

People from the Chi Xiao Sect and the Unchanging Valley exclaimed in shock.

At that moment, Li Batian, who had swallowed the Blood Demon Pill, was enveloped in a blood-colored mist that formed around him, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a large, blood-colored cocoon!

Wu Qianxun’s expression changed drastically, and he moved to rush towards the platform.

Hum!

A terrifying pressure descended; Elder Ming from the Youming Sect emitted a thick black fog that enveloped the platform.

The intense pressure deterred everyone; no one could approach the platform!

As the black fog dispersed, the true appearance of Elder Ming was revealed, a short and portly old man.

”Youming, you’ve gone too far!” Chi Xiao’s elder bellowed, raising the longsword in his hand, as if he was about to strike at Li Batian.

Elder Ming said coldly, ”Chi Xiao, how much longer can you hold on? With your short lifespans, if you do battle with me, will you immediately wither away?”

”You...” The elder from the Chi Xiao Sect shook, staring angrily at Elder Ming.

”Venerable Ancestor!”

”Venerable Ancestor!”

The disciples of the Chixiao Sect looked at the Chi Xiao Venerable in surprise, their eyes filled with deep concern.

”Even so, he must not die!”

The Chi Xiao Venerable said in a low shout, a firm look in his eyes, ”Without the help of the two ancestors of the Jiang Family, there would be no Chixiao Sect. The Jiang Family has finally produced a true dragon among men, and I absolutely can’t let him die in front of me.”

Elder Ming of the Youming Sect’s expression changed and he looked down at Jiang Chen on the stage, who was on full alert, and said in a deep voice, ”No wonder I felt a familiar fluctuation from this kid. So he’s a Dragon Descendant, that’s perfect. Killing him and taking his Dragon-Tyrant Bloodline will elevate my Bloodthirsty Divine Skill to a higher level!”

Jiang Chen looked up at Elder Ming, his brow slightly furrowed. He sensed a familiar presence from Elder Ming, and when the black mist surrounded the stage, that sensation grew even more intense.

Glancing at the surrounding black mist, Jiang Chen’s heart trembled fiercely.

This is...

How could it be? How could the ancestor of the Youming Hall possibly be...

Jiang Chen looked at Elder Ming in the sky in shock, disbelief strong in his eyes.

”Kid, no matter what you’ve figured out, don’t announce it. Making a sound will only make him fight desperately!”

That barely audible voice reached Jiang Chen’s ears once more.

Jiang Chen’s heart trembled, and he gave the Chi Xiao Venerable a meaningful look.

”Youming, having killed Li Batian, let’s call it a day!” The Chi Xiao Venerable gave Jiang Chen a look and then turned his head to look at Elder Ming, a cold gleam in his eyes.

”Chi Xiao, do you think I could possibly let him go? If he grows up, your Chixiao Sect might rise again. Not only do I not wish to see that, do you think the other sects want to see it happen?” Elder Ming said indifferently.

”I know they all don’t want the Chixiao Sect to grow. That’s why I haven’t helped the disciples of the Chixiao Sect break through all these years,” the Chi Xiao Venerable said, staring coldly at Elder Ming.

”But there are rules in the Martial Dao World that those in the Venerable Realm must not casually attack those of a lower realm. Tell me, if you make a move on him and I join forces with the venerables of the other sects, using myself as a blade to slay you, do you think they would agree?”

Elder Ming’s gaze changed, a trace of murderous intent crossing his face.

But then, he nodded and chuckled softly, ”They’d agree. The six of us, who doesn’t wish the others dead? However, I won’t make a move, and you won’t have the opportunity. Li Batian took the Blood Demon Pill and his strength will reach the Peak of the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm. This kid is doomed!”

Yan Hu and the others shook violently upon hearing this, moving in unison to rush towards the stage.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out as Yan Hu and the others hit the seemingly illusory black mist, and were directly propelled out, crashing heavily to the ground.

Spurt! Spurt!

Tang Wanru and Lou Qiangqiang spit out blood at the same time, and everyone looked at the layer of black mist with shock in their eyes.

”Don’t waste your energy. The Venerable Realm is beyond your imagination!”

The Chi Xiao Venerable consoled Yan Hu and the others before fixing his gaze on Elder Ming, ”Youming, are you truly determined to fight me to the death?”

Elder Ming’s pupils constricted slightly, his eyebrows frowning before he looked down at Jiang Chen and, gritting his teeth, said in a cold voice, ”Chi Xiao, I admit I’m no match for you, but after this battle, I won’t die, whereas you are certainly going to die! Are you sure you want to risk everything for him? If you die, do you think the Chixiao Sect will still exist?”

”Without the Jiang Family, there would be no Chixiao Sect! Eighty years ago, my Chixiao Sect already wronged the Jiang Family. Today, I can’t wrong the Jiang Family again!”

The Chi Xiao Venerable spoke calmly, his aura slowly rising, causing the entire Mount Chi Xiao to tremble!

Elder Ming’s expression changed and he stared dead at the Chi Xiao Venerable, also beginning to raise his aura.

In an instant, the entire square was filled with an atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.
