Chapter 658: Chapter 657, Son of Destiny Escapes_1
The Grand River Sword Intent was Jiang Chen’s strongest attack. However, it was completely ineffective against Zhuang Maobin, like trying to shatter a rock with an egg. Even with its power increased fiftyfold, it was of no use.
Yuan Ziyi reminded him, "His Law is the Destiny Law, and yours is the Law of Destruction. Although you have condensed your own Law and are not bound by the Destiny Law, Destiny is still the primary force. Your power of Destruction simply can’t break through the Barrier of Destiny."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No, you’re wrong. They’re both Laws; there’s no fundamental difference. Destiny is also a Law. If he truly reigned supreme over me, he wouldn’t need to use a Barrier to defend himself. The fact that he’s using a Barrier proves one thing: Zhuang Maobin is afraid, afraid that I will kill him."
At that moment, Jiang Chen smiled. Indeed, in this critical moment, Jiang Chen saw hope. Zhuang Maobin’s use of the Destiny Law to defend himself only pointed to one issue: Zhuang Maobin was afraid, even terrified.
The Destiny Law might be extremely mysterious, but it was, after all, just a Law. So, there was still a chance to kill Zhuang Maobin. Jiang Chen was testing the waters, and this test revealed a flaw. The Destiny Law was not an invincible force.
Zhuang Maobin said coldly, "Since that’s what you think, then I shall let you witness what the Destiny Law is all about."
Zhuang Maobin struck with his sword. WHOOSH! Void Sword Intent manifested.
Jiang Chen once again unleashed a sword strike, just like Zhuang Maobin, also using the Void Sword Intent.
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG! As both unleashed their most powerful Swordsmanship, the entire Sword Pavilion vanished without a trace in an instant. Many Demigods watched their contest. Divine Beings were paying attention to their fight. Even the Lords were watching.
Both were Wanderers. Their Swordsmanship was unbelievably magical, their Attack Power incredibly fierce—so much so that even Divine Beings would tremble at the sight. This was the strongest Sword Intent of the Wanderers.
Bai Yun stood not far away, watching their exchange. So strong. Jiang Chen had long surpassed him, having already become the Wanderers Sword God—the true Sword God. Zhuang Maobin was the same. His Void Sword was truly incredible.
Their contest was evenly matched.
Right at that moment, Bai Yun unleashed a sword strike aimed at Zhuang Maobin. But Zhuang Maobin did not back down. He did not even take Bai Yun’s Swordsmanship seriously. With a sweep of his hand, he changed the trajectory of Bai Yun’s sword, directing it elsewhere.
Utilizing the art of Space to alter the trajectory of the Swordsmanship is indeed quite extraordinary, Bai Yun thought to himself.
"Isn’t that Jiang Chen, the Master of the Sword Pavilion? The God of Destruction! And that other person... he seems to be Zhuang Maobin, another Master of the Sword Pavilion."
"Yes, they are both Wanderers with powerful combat strength."
"What? Bai Yun’s sword strike couldn’t harm Zhuang Maobin? He’s that formidable?"
"Did you see that? Both Pavilion Master Jiang Chen and Pavilion Master Zhuang Maobin are using the same type of Swordsmanship!"
"Yes, the God of Destruction is the Wanderers Sword God, and Zhuang Maobin is also a newly risen Sword God among the Wanderers!"
"Strange, aren’t they both Wanderers? Why are they clashing?"
"Did you see? There’s a woman next to Pavilion Master Jiang Chen. Are they fighting over her?"
"It’s very normal for Wanderers to fight over a woman."
All were watching the confrontation, buzzing with speculation. What exactly were they fighting over? Could it really just be about competing for a woman? For Wanderers to battle for love was something very difficult for the Heroes of the Continent of All-Gods to understand. Yet, it seemed quite normal to the Wanderers, because Wanderers believe fiercely in love.
At this moment, Zhuang Maobin’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. What’s going on with this guy? This is the Swordsmanship I created. Why is his technique superior to mine? I calculated this using the Power of Destiny, but he’s executing it with even greater mastery. Could it be that this guy is also a Son of Destiny? That’s not right. He is not the Son of Destiny, nor the Son of End; he is an anomaly.
Jiang Chen said with a smile, "This is the Swordsmanship you created, the Void Sword. Unfortunately for you, I understand the Void Sword much better than you do. To die by this Swordsmanship will be a fitting end for you."
Zhuang Maobin said coldly, "Jiang Chen, it’s not so easy to kill me. Don’t forget that I am the Son of Destiny. Did you think I hadn’t foreseen today’s situation? No one can kill me. Not even the Lords."
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Zhuang Maobin and struck a deadly blow.
In the next second, Zhuang Maobin vanished without a trace.
Jiang Chen’s brows tightened. Gone? This guy is really hard to kill!
Jiang Chen looked at the newcomer: the Divine King of Time, Chris.
Chris said, "I didn’t expect my full-force strike would allow him to escape. Leaving that brat alive is asking for trouble!"
Jiang Chen shot her a look. If you hadn’t suddenly interfered, he would have been dead by now. However, Jiang Chen had to acknowledge Zhuang Maobin’s skill. The fact that he could slip away so silently, especially under the very eyes of Lords, proved he was indeed formidable.
Yuan Ziyi said, "Jiang Chen, Zhuang Maobin’s control over the Destiny Law has reached a significant level. Killing him won’t be easy."
Jiang Chen nodded. "He got away this time. I don’t know when I’ll have another chance to kill him." At that moment, Jiang Chen truly felt the unique nature of the Power of Destiny. Without understanding this unique power, it would be impossible to kill Zhuang Maobin.
The Divine King of Time, Chris, looked at Yuan Ziyi. "You know a lot about Zhuang Maobin?"
"It’s not that I know him well; rather, I understand the Destiny Law very well," Yuan Ziyi explained. "The Destiny Law is unique: it can absorb any damage and even reflect it. Any Law is useless against him. Just like your full-force strike earlier, even activating the Sovereign’s Domain would be futile. To kill him, the only methods are through another Son of Destiny or the force of End. Only these two ways will work."
The Divine King of Time, Chris, asked, "Are you one of the Continent of Destiny’s descendants?"
"Yes."
"How many experts does the Continent of Destiny have?"
"Don’t worry. The Divine Beings of the Continent of Destiny won’t come out, nor will they invade the Continent of All-Gods, unless the Son of Destiny returns and gains full control of the Continent of Destiny. But by then, the Master of Destiny alone would suffice, with no need for anyone else by his side. Before the Master of Destiny, Divine Beings, Lords—none of them amount to anything! He can absorb all Law attacks and reflect all attacks. Divine Artifacts? Utterly useless against him."
The Divine King of Time, Chris, said, "You just mentioned there are other Sons of Destiny?"
Yuan Ziyi nodded. "Yes, his mastery of the Destiny Law is incomplete. He’s likely hiding here, searching for the other Sons of Destiny to kill them and seize their Power of Destiny. You could try the same, but be warned: Destiny is not so easily dealt with."
