Just after this, the second magical clone was lost in the same way, and it was then that Jiang Chen and Man Tianyin managed to break away from the Blood Clan’s Great Army.

“You should leave first, and shield me from the outside,” Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Man Tianyin was quite blunt. She had recovered her previous resolute and straightforward attitude that Jiang Chen found quite familiar.

After Jiang Chen brought up the rear for a while, Man Tianyin managed to reach the outside smoothly, and, while Jiang Chen tried to break out of the siege with his whole power, she used sword techniques at a long distance and repelled the Blood Clan members. Both people coordinated well, and they understood each other tacitly. When everything was developing toward the perfect result, a sharp sword beam streaked across the sky and struck Jiang Chen’s back.

This wasn’t a sword strike by an ordinary person, and it possessed great might that tore apart Jiang Chen’s Buddhist Robe.

“Jiang Chen!” Man Tianyin became nervous, and her gaze that was filled with a killing intent looked at a distant place. A familiar-looking white-clothed person was there, and it was Xiao Yuan. “I have delivered this sword strike on behalf of Shi Lezhi.” It turned out that Xiao Yuan was the person Shi Lezhi wanted to help even at the cost of his life. He was the list’s chief, and such a status befitted the ravings stated by Shi Lezhi before his death.

Since Jiang Chen had lost the Tathagata Buddhist Robe, the speed at which he broke out of the siege slowed down by much. But it was still fortunate that his situation wasn’t hopeless because Man Tianyin risked her life once again and charged inside. There was still a chance for survival left.

“If we have to die, let’s die together,” Man Tianyin spoke in a low and calm voice that was brimming with power.

“You can be at ease, I won’t die here today,” Jiang Chen said. Jiang Chen still had the eight groups of spiritual beings, but he would only use them as a last resort.

“That surely isn’t the case.” When they were about to escape, another person sneak-attacked them. A wave with a scalding temperature blew at them from the sky, while a fire dragon launched a thunderous attack and landed straight near them.

“A fire dragon’s main source isn’t something a human like you can handle. While you also can’t get to enjoy the Flame Emperor’s inheritance.”

This was the fire dragon that possessed a Divine Fire Ring. It had arrived long ago into the safe zone, but it had kept a low profile and hadn’t fought until now. It was quite prudent, and, even though it could use external power, it still didn’t want to fight Jiang Chen rashly. Moreover, after it witnessedJiang Chen’s stars formation, it rejoiced that it had taken such a decision. Now it had a rare opportunity, and this was payback for its patience.

“Are sneak-attacks popular among people nowadays?” In the twinkling of an eye, Jiang Chen pushed Man Tianyin with his palm so that she wouldn’t be also injured by the fire dragon’s attack. Man Tianyin was strong. But if she ended up suffering a sneak attack in this situation, she would be in grave danger.

“Contemptible!” When the people outside witnessed this sight, they all became indignant, and it was especially the case for the people saved by Jiang Chen. In the end, Jiang Chen was swallowed down by the fire dragon, and he was tormented by intense heat, while his mind became a mess, and he lost control of his body. The fire dragon didn’t want to eat Jiang Chen. It just wanted to deprive him of the fire dragon’s main source and steal it. It was drawing it out of Jiang Chen’s muscles, bones, and flesh, before absorbing it crazily.

Jiang Chen’s divine body was affected greatly because a part of it was formed by a fire dragon’s main source, and, if he lost this force, he wouldn’t be able any longer to use his divine body’s power. Moreover, this matter would give rise to a chain reaction, and he wouldn’t be able to keep a divine body any longer, while his body’s vigorous power would get out of control.

“You aren’t able to resist me because the main source has a higher affinity with me.” The fire dragon’s complacent voice continued ringing near Jiang Chen’s ears. If it just kept quiet, it would have still been fine, but, once it spoke, it provoked Jiang Chen.

“Black Dragon, split it open.”

Thereupon, Man Tianyin and the other people who were about to attack to rescue Jiang Chen witnessed a shocking sight. The fire dragon’s body started bulging like a python that had swallowed cattle. But what was different was that said python still stood motionless as it tried to digest its prey and absorb it, and the fire dragon swung its body intensely. It was suffering intense pain!

“Move back!” The flames that went out of control became more terrifying, and Man Tianyin passed down a command directly.

The Blood Clan members that wanted to take advantage of such a chance to encircle the crowd were burned to ashes.

Roar! All of a sudden, the fire dragon stood straight, opened wide its mouth, and a majestic black dragon flew out of its mouth. It seemed like the fire dragon’s body was made out of fire crystals, and the black dragon was more robust than it by much, The black dragon’s scales shone with a metallic luster, and its body seemed made out of steel. It seemed filled to the brim with power. When it came to their ferocity, the fire dragon was inferior to the black dragon by much. Jiang Chen rode the black dragon as he flew out, and the emotions of everyone that saw him were stirred up.

“A black…a black dragon.”

After the black dragon flew out wholly, the fire dragon wore a dumbstruck expression, as if it had seen a ghost, and its eyes were filled with fright. After a moment, the fire dragon flew away. Its body’s high temperature was able to melt even steel, and no one could obstruct it.

“Let’s leave.” Jiang Chen didn’t want to chase the fire dragon because he detected that a terrifying aura was approaching them.

When everyone came to Jiang Chen’s side, he used a teleportation scroll to leave with them. The crisis was temporarily resolved for now, but this was still just the beginning of Jiang Chen’s crisis, as after he went through the teleportation, his mind became a mess, and he fell off the black dragon. It was fortunate that Man Tianyin reacted in time and caught Jiang Chen.

“You should distance yourselves from us.” After Man Tianyin inspected Jiang Chen, she quickly spoke to the other people.

“What is going on?” Yiya couldn’t bear going forward, while wearing a concerned look on her face.

“The fire dragon took his main source away from him, and he lost his divine body, while he still isn’t able any longer to keep the forces he practiced with the divine body as a foundation,” the black dragon that was in the air spoke.

The current Jiang Chen was too dangerous, as once his power went out of control, he would destroy everything in the vicinity.

“You should leave this land. As for him, I will look after him.” After Man Tianyin spoke, she looked at Yiya who was next to her and said, “It’s also the case for you.” It wasn’t Wen Tao alone that followed them here, it was also the case for Hai Xi and the people rescued by them. They all didn’t leave, and, even though they were still hesitant, none of them moved by even a single step.

“I may be useful when it comes to dealing with such a situation.” Hai Xi walked forward, and a little water sphere appeared on her palm. When the sphere fell upon Jiang Chen’s chest, it started expanding and engulfed him wholly.

“That should be able to alleviate his condition temporarily.” It was really like what Hai Xi had said, as Jiang Chen’s condition didn’t continue worsening. The other people took out all the treasures they had that were suitable for healing and medical treatments and put them next to Jiang Chen. Yiya felt quite gratified, as Jiang Chen’s rescue of people had been worthwhile.

Jiang Chen, who was in the water sphere, was strangely calm as if he had fallen asleep. But everyone could clearly detect that Jiang Chen’s power was flowing out of him quickly. What no one knew was that Jiang Chen’s consciousness was no longer here—he was in a dimension that was composed of a vast expanse of whiteness. Many people were in his surroundings, but he couldn’t get a clear look at their faces, and he could only see a rough outline.

“Jiang Chen, don’t get anxious. This is Sacred Spirits’ consciousness.” A person walked over, and it could be discerned from its voice that it was the Divine Tree of Creatures.

“Why you have brought me here?” Jiang Chen didn’t forget his body’s current condition, and he wanted to quickly treat it.

“Your actions have demonstrated that you are an eligible Sacred Lord, and we have come here to help you,” the Divine Tree said.

“Help me?” Jiang Chen had many misgivings about this matter, but he suddenly got a spark of insight. “Was it you that sent the Blood Clan’s Great Army previously?”

“We didn’t send it there. We just added fuel to the fire and carried out a trial for your group.” A voice echoed, and it was unknown which Sacred Spirit it was.

“You don’t have to act so cruelly. Moreover, isn’t there an Evil Blood Emperor that we must deal with?” Jiang Chen was infuriated, but his anger wasn’t so intense that he would lose control of himself.

“If you don’t deal with the crisis brought by the Blood Clan’s Great Army, how can you enter the fifth area to kill the Evil Blood Emperor?” Another Sacred Spirit spoke.

“So, what should we do now?” Jiang Chen swept all the Sacred Spirits with his gaze and questioned them.
