Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

A corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth lifted.

’If I attack now, Li Ru will strike at the first opportunity and shatter the Ice Lake.’

That’s why he’d been completely tied down from the very beginning.

But a moment ago, when those two Human Emperor Realm experts had nearly wounded each other by accident, it gave Jiang Chen an idea to break the stalemate—turning his enemies against each other!

”Four pieces of trash! I haven’t even fought back, and you still can’t do a thing to me. I suggest you go back and practice some more!” Jiang Chen taunted with a cold smile.

”Damn you!”

”Jiang Chen, I’ll tear you to shreds!”

The four Human Emperor Realm experts were utterly enraged.

The four of them had joined forces, yet they still couldn’t take down Jiang Chen. This had already left them furious.

And now, Jiang Chen was mocking them.

It was like pouring oil on a fire.

Their rage was uncontrollable!

”Kill him!”

The four men’s attacks grew even more frenzied.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Barrages of attacks rained down.

Jiang Chen dodged one after another, darting up and down across the Celestial Vault, looking utterly wretched.

Seeing this, a derisive smirk appeared on Li Ru’s face. ’Hmph, so what if you’re the greatest prodigy in the history of the Eastern Continent? I haven’t even made a move myself, and I already have you running for your life... Once you’ve worn yourself out, I’ll strike with lightning speed, capture you, and bring you back to the Fengyang Ancient Country. His Majesty and the Old Ancestor will surely be pleased to see you, haha!’

As he thought this, Li Ru shouted to the four Human Emperors, ”What are you useless fools doing? Hurry up and capture that brat!”

”Understood!”

”Don’t worry, Chairman Li. Since we’ve taken your money, we’ll definitely get the job done for you!”

The four Human Emperor Realm masters exchanged a look and formed up into a formation.

They took on a triangular assault formation.

Full of menacing momentum, they charged toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s figure remained motionless. He secretly activated his Divine Demon Tyrant Body, and a golden light pulsed around him.

BOOM!

The four attacks landed viciously upon him. Jiang Chen’s body shook violently as he was blasted backward. He flew for dozens of kilometers before spitting out a mouthful of blood—golden blood that turned into a hazy mist in the air.

”Keep going!”

”The brat is running out of steam!”

The four Human Emperor Realm masters roared with excitement and charged at Jiang Chen once more.

Li Ru was quite satisfied with this sight. ’To be able to last this long against the siege of four Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage masters without being allowed to fight back... this Jiang Chen is indeed powerful. No wonder even Yang Hong fell at his hands. But no matter how talented you are, no matter how strong your combat prowess, you’ll still end up in my hands, won’t you?’

Over on the other side, Jiang Chen continued to endure the attacks of the four Human Emperor Realm experts.

He was like a rubber ball, blasted from east to west, then sent flying from south to north...

He looked utterly pathetic.

Li Ru laughed smugly. ”He’s pretty tough! Did you guys not eat today? Hit him harder!”

”Understood!”

”This time, we’ll make sure he doesn’t even have a grave!”

Vicious expressions appeared on the faces of the four Human Emperors.

The four of them unexpectedly condensed identical attacks, which then merged. The four attacks fused into a four-colored ball of light aimed right at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen put on an exaggerated, panicked expression. ”Oh no, there’s no way I can take this hit!”

”Did you hear that, brothers? He can’t block this one! Let’s end this in one blow!” The four Human Emperors looked at each other and laughed heartily. It was too humiliating to admit that the four of them had been tied up with Jiang Chen for so long.

Now that they were finally about to kill Jiang Chen, they naturally put even more effort into it!

”Jiang Chen, you’re dead meat!” Li Ru grinned, crossing his arms with a confident look.

SWOOSH!

The four-colored light coalesced into a brilliant, immense pillar of light, like a four-colored True Dragon charging straight for Jiang Chen.

RUMBLE...

The four-colored pillar of light was incredibly fast, heading straight for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen retreated continuously.

His speed was neither fast nor slow, keeping the terrifyingly powerful four-colored pillar of light seemingly glued to him, yet never quite catching him.

Li Ru frowned. ’This brat’s movements are a little strange... Hmm, it must be because he’s already heavily injured. Heh heh, this time, he’s definitely dead!’

Li Ru’s eyes gleamed as he waited for the moment Jiang Chen would be struck.

However, just as the four-colored pillar of light was about to fall upon Jiang Chen...

Right at that moment.

Jiang Chen’s speed suddenly skyrocketed. He shot toward Li Ru, and the Spirit-Slaying Sword in his hand erupted with an incredibly dark light as he slashed at him.

”You’re courting death!”

Li Ru’s expression changed abruptly, his eyes turning grim.

At this point, how could he not see that Jiang Chen was turning his enemies against each other, trying to use the attack from the four Human Emperor Realm masters against him?

Li Ru snorted coldly. His figure flashed as he dodged Jiang Chen’s peerless Sword Aura. At the same time, black True Essence flowed around his body as he prepared to launch an attack.

Jiang Chen’s voice already rang in his ear, ”It’s too late!”

”Hmm?”

Li Ru was stunned. A strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the black Sword Aura that had just brushed past him. It caused his robes, which had been flapping wildly, to stop dead. His retreating figure also paused for a brief moment.

It was Time Freeze!

Although against a Seventh Stage of Human Emperor Realm master like Li Ru, the effect of Time Freeze was greatly diminished, it could still stall him for about a third of a breath’s time.

But that was more than enough time for the terrifyingly powerful four-colored pillar of light to land on him.

”No—”

Li Ru’s pupils contracted violently as he let out a muffled grunt.

The four-colored light, filled with incredibly violent energy, had already enveloped him.

RUMBLE...

The entire world trembled.

The roaring was incessant.

Li Ru was at the center of the four-colored pillar’s explosion. The Celestial Tier High-level Battle Armor he wore was blasted to pieces, and every hair on his body was turned to dust by the terrifying storm of the explosion, vanishing without a trace.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of explosions erupted on his body, and Li Ru spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood.

The powerful attack dealt a massive blow to his internal organs. He was severely injured, and the blood he coughed up was mixed with fragments of his viscera.

BANG!

The final burst of energy blasted Li Ru away, sending him crashing hard onto the ground below.

The four Human Emperor Realm masters were dumbfounded. ”Wh-what’s going on?”

”We... I think we fell for that brat’s trick!”

The four finally realized what had happened and all turned to look at Jiang Chen.

They saw that Jiang Chen was already flying at top speed toward the center of the Ice Lake.

”Xiaoyou, Little Black, Little White, I’m here!” Jiang Chen was incredibly fast. In an instant, he reached the center of the Ice Lake. With a wave of his hand, he pulled Black Emperor and Little White into the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle.

Xiaoyou was in the very center of the Ice Lake, some distance away from Black Emperor and the others. Jiang Chen took a step forward to reach Xiaoyou’s body. Just as he was about to pull her into the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle...

However, just then.

A blinding flash of light suddenly erupted from the center of the Ice Lake.

Beneath Xiaoyou, dazzling Array Inscriptions suddenly appeared, pulsing with an incredibly brilliant light.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically. ’Damn it, it’s a trap!’
