Chapter 143, Killing the Divine Envoy_1
Chuanteng Sanlang furrowed his brow.
"Chuanteng," Chiyoshima Hitomi said angrily, "don't forget, you are a Divine Envoy. If you ally with the Demon King, you will surely be despised by the All Gods."
Upon hearing this, Chuanteng Sanlang no longer hesitated.
"Beckley, let's join forces for now and kill them first," he said.
Beckley's face lit up with satisfaction. "That's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say."
Chiyoshima Hitomi's face turned pale. She could never have imagined a Divine Envoy would ally with the Demon King to attack the Heroes beside them. This was not just a betrayal of the All Gods, but of the Human Race.
After his falling out with Jiang Chen, Chuanteng Sanlang had already made a plan: kill Jiang Chen, then kill Chiyoshima Hitomi. If he succeeded, Chuanteng Qilang would have a chance to become a Divine Envoy. His goal would be achieved even if he didn't kill Beckley. Once Chiyoshima Hitomi was dead, the Position of the Divine Envoy would inevitably become vacant.
As for allying with the Demon King, only the few of them present knew. His own men would naturally keep quiet. And even if the Demon King spoke of it, so what? Who would believe the words of a Demon King? The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all—a timeless truth.
Demon King Beckley, on the other hand, had always regarded Jiang Chen as his greatest threat. To him, the death of a strong fighter was more significant than the death of a Divine Envoy. Killing Jiang Chen, and then the Divine Envoy, might just present an opportunity. Although the chance was slim, Beckley knew he couldn't guarantee victory against Jiang Chen alone. Only by relying on the Divine Envoy did he stand a chance.
Jiang Chen had long anticipated their alliance.
A Divine Envoy teaming up with the Demon King? This just made things more interesting.
Jiang Chen laughed. "Excellent. I quite enjoy watching you form alliances. Let's see who is stronger—you, or I."
Chuanteng's group of eight, along with the Demon King's followers, prepared for battle. The Demon King uttered a few words.
The Guards behind him, brandishing Wolf Fang Clubs, charged at Jiang Chen, ready to ambush him. The moment these Guards entered the Sword Array, they were ensnared by a hundred Sword Auras. Their bodies abruptly erupted with countless sword wounds. In an instant, thirty guards lay dead.
Beckley's brow furrowed deeply. What kind of demonic Skill is this? So terrifying!
Chuanteng's eight companions were also stunned. Such a powerful move made it impossible to get near Jiang Chen. Anyone who came within a hundred meters would be instantly killed. Such terrifying Offensive Power! Is this really the capability of a Level 30 Swordsman?
Beckley cursed, "Damn it, what Phantom Class is this kid even from?"
Chuanteng Sanlang's expression was grim. "He is a Swordsman," he stated.
"A Swordsman? I've never heard of such a class," Beckley replied.
Chuanteng Sanlang turned to one of his men. "Apply The state of Blessing! This man is incredibly strong. Do not go near him, or you will surely die!" he instructed.
"Understood, Divine Gods!" they answered.
Murmurs spread through Chuanteng's remaining men:
"Is he really a Swordsman?"
"What exactly is that Skill?"
"We should wait for his Skill to end before we engage!"
"Yes, a Skill like that must have a time limit."
Several beams of light enveloped Chuanteng Sanlang. Jiang Chen glanced over; it was the blessing from a Ritualist, but it was useless against him. Angelina also cast her Magic, attempting some spells on Jiang Chen. One of Beckley's subordinates cast several buffs on him. Beckley's aura instantly surged, and his dark power grew even more immense.
At that moment, Chuanteng Sanlang moved. Wielding a sword in each hand, he leaped, charging at Jiang Chen and unleashing two slashes where Jiang Chen had stood. Two beams of light shot out. Beckley followed suit, swinging his Scythe at Jiang Chen. A black Knife Slash hurtled towards Jiang Chen as both launched their attacks.
Jiang Chen, grasping Angelina and Chiyoshima Hitomi's hands, executed a Flash in the Void. He vanished instantly, only to reappear behind Chuanteng Sanlang.
The Sword Array activated. Seven of Chuanteng's men were instantly enveloped by Sword Auras. A hundred Sword Auras penetrated their bodies, and before they could even scream, they collapsed, faces turned to the sky.
Chuanteng Sanlang clenched his teeth in hatred.
Such abnormal speed! Is it the Teleport of a Magician?
Jiang Chen flashed again, appearing behind Beckley. Startled, Beckley quickly leaped away. In that same instant, a hundred Sword Auras erupted from the ground, rushing towards him. As Beckley dodged, the hundred Sword Auras relentlessly pursued him. He was indeed fast, managing to evade the Sword Qi Attack.
Beckley swung his Scythe, instantly creating a shimmering barrier of light that enveloped him.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The Sword Auras hammered against the light barrier, producing a piercing sound.
"Kid, I admit you're strong!" Beckley roared. "But you're sorely mistaken if you think you can kill me this easily! I am the Demon King, a Demon King under the Evil God! A mere brat like you can't possibly defeat me!"
Beckley was protected by a Shield, similar in nature to a Magic shield.
Beckley charged at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen, gripping his Weapon, rushed forward to engage Demon King Beckley. Simultaneously, he used Mind Control to direct Three Hundred Sword Auras toward Chuanteng Qilang.
Chiyoshima Hitomi exclaimed in shock. This man is terrifying! He's battling the Demon King and a Divine Envoy at the same time!
Jiang Chen remained fearless in close combat.
Beckley saw Jiang Chen charging at him and chuckled inwardly. Close combat, eh? You're no match for me!
Beckley swung his Scythe at Jiang Chen. A massive black blade projection raced towards Jiang Chen. He dodged smoothly and countered with a sword strike at Beckley. When they were three meters apart, Beckley swung his Scythe again, clashing with Jiang Chen's sword.
CLANG!
Beckley's face turned pale with shock. He didn't even flinch! His Offensive Power has already caught up to mine! This is bad. I've been tricked!
The moment Beckley faltered, a hundred Sword Auras slammed into him, striking his black light Shield and instantly shattering it. Several Sword Auras pierced his body. Beckley's figure flashed as he attempted to flee.
Jiang Chen swiftly flashed to block Beckley's path. He smiled. "Demon King, where do you think you're going?"
Several more Sword Auras pierced Beckley's body, penetrating his Armor. Beckley suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
Just then, something unexpected occurred. Chuanteng Sanlang appeared behind Beckley, struck his head with a sword, and then swiftly retreated from the Sword Array's range.
Jiang Chen frowned deeply. That guy actually made a move.
Chuanteng Sanlang nodded. "I was merely feigning an alliance with the Demon King. Now that I've killed him, our grudge is settled. Chiyoshima Hitomi, here is the head you wanted."
Chuanteng Sanlang tossed the head to Chiyoshima Hitomi.
Chiyoshima Hitomi was dumbfounded. What's going on? Is he really giving it up?
Chuanteng Sanlang glanced at Jiang Chen, sheathed his sword, and turned to leave.
SWOOSH!
Jiang Chen flashed, directly blocking his path.
Chuanteng Sanlang's face darkened. "What do you think you're doing? Your target was the Demon King! He's already dead."
"I know," Jiang Chen replied. "But you're not."
"What? You want to fight me? Don't forget, I am a Divine Envoy! If the Alliance of All-Gods finds out about this, do you have any idea what that means?"
Chiyoshima Hitomi interjected, "Jiang Chen, let it go. He's right. You can't attack a Divine Envoy; otherwise, it's insubordination!"
Jiang Chen said coldly, "Kneel."
"What?" Chuanteng Sanlang exclaimed.
"I said, kneel."
"You dare order a great Divine Envoy to kneel? You're seeking death!"
Three Hundred Sword Auras swirled around Jiang Chen. Chuanteng Sanlang's heart sank. This damned Swordsman! I'll kill you one day! Just you wait!
Chuanteng Sanlang gritted his teeth and knelt, looking up at Jiang Chen. "Satisfied now?"
"Perfectly," Jiang Chen said.
SWOOSH!
Jiang Chen executed a Flash in the Void, appearing behind Chuanteng Sanlang. Three Hundred Sword Auras surged forward, piercing Chuanteng Sanlang and chilling him to the bone as they ran him through. Chuanteng Sanlang died instantly.
Chiyoshima Hitomi was horrified. He really killed Chuanteng Sanlang? He killed a Divine Envoy!
Just then, Chuanteng Sanlang revived, bellowing, "Kid, you dare kill me! I'll remember you!"
Chuanteng Sanlang turned to flee.
But Jiang Chen wasn't about to give him that chance. Thinking of running?
With a Teleport, Jiang Chen appeared before Chuanteng Sanlang. Under the onslaught of Three Hundred Sword Auras, augmented by another hundred from the Sword Array, Chuanteng Sanlang was slain once more.
"I was wrong! Please, spare me!" Chuanteng Sanlang shrieked.
His only answer was Three Hundred Sword Auras.
