Dragon-Marked War God

Chapter 2993 - A Carp

“Where is Jiang Chen? I can’t find him.”

Yang Xikuan was startled. The moment he turned around and looked for Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen had disappeared.

“Jiang Chen is missing. The Bloodthirsty Ghost Bats disappeared, too.”

Chi Haifei looked solemn. His eyes met Yang Xikuan’s, they looked frightened and anxious. He was afraid of losing Jiang Chen.

There was little possibility of losing him, but it was not impossible. Sheng Kun seemed very miserable and aggrieved to lose his dearest brother. However, everything was settled, what was done could not be undone. He only had himself to blame. A Half-step Hierarch expert fought thousands of Bloodthirsty Ghost Bats, it was like digging his own grave. Only Jiang Chen was able to resist them by casting the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation. Otherwise, he could do nothing about it.

“I never expect Jiang Chen to sacrifice his life in order to save us.”

“Yes. Jiang Chen saved us from the jaws of death twice, but we failed to find him now.”

Yang Xikuan and Chi Haifei heaved a deep sigh. Jiang Chen had saved their lives twice but they could not help him in return. They watched him helplessly until he disappeared from their sight.

“We have no choice but to leave first. I hope he can survive.”

Chi Haifei said. They wanted to wait for Jiang Chen, but they would sink in despair once again if those Bloodthirsty Ghost Bats came back. In that case, Jiang Chen’s efforts would be wasted.

They stared at the iron lock underground. There was no sign of Jiang Chen so they could only turn away and head for the depth of the Great Emperor’s tomb.

At the bottom of the pond, Jiang Chen might have been frozen if he was not protected by the heat released by the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation. Words could hardly describe how cold it was. The cold struck to the marrow and the blood would be completely frozen.

“So it is a carp……How is it possible?”

Jiang Chen was doubtful and confused. He just realized that the gigantic beast was merely a normal carp. It was unbelievable that a carp could reach this level. There was no race which could achieve this at the bottom of a pond, Jiang Chen had never heard of something like this at all. Besides, it was a giant-sized creature which was completely unbelievable, and incredible at the same time.

Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded by its giant size. It was hundred meters long and it reached the Mid-Hierarch Realm. In fact, it was not inferior to Yang Xikuan or Chi Haifei in strength.

“The world is full of fantastic and strange things but this is truly unbelievable. I have never met this kind of carp in my memories. This looks exactly like a normal carp.”

At the moment, even Fire Qilin was filled with astonishment. Although he had broken through to the Hierarch Realm, he dared not show up as the cold pond was like hell. Even the Early Hierarch Realm Great Carp dared not challenge it. His determination to fight against the beast had been strangled at birth.

“I think this beast is not simple at all. He has been staying in the old pond under the Great Emperor’s tomb for years, it is just incredible.”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He was well-prepared to fight against the gigantic carp. Jiang Chen found something in its body, which he truly desired. However, he did not know what exactly it was.

“I think you’re putting your own life at risk. It will not be easy to deal with, it is a Mid-Hierarch Realm beast after all. Perhaps you can choose to have a life-and-death battle with it, but do you really think that you could defeat it in his territory? You know nothing about the beast, it is not necessary to hurry.

Fire Qilin’s voice resounded in Jiang Chen’s mind. Jiang Chen did not want to miss the chance, there was definitely something valuable in its body and Jiang Chen intended to get it.

“You’re such a despicable human. You’re trying to seize the remains of the Great Emperor,you’re committing an unforgivable sin!”

A deep voice rang in Jiang Chen’s ears. At that moment, the carp flapped its tail, making a great splash a hundred feet high. Jiang Chen left the cold pond swiftly. He was nearly hurt by the terrible waves made by the gigantic beast. He could barely keep his feet as he stared at the beast in great astonishment. If he was an ordinary Hierarch expert, he would have died from that horrifying splash. Jiang Chen had narrowly escaped the great blow.

“You’re such a terrible guy. I am not intending to stir up trouble today but you are the one who struck first.”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a cold smile.

“I think the main purpose that you trespassed on the Great Emperor’s tomb is to seize the remains of the Great Emperor and rule the Northern Cold Divine Region as an invincible Great Emperor. Unfortunately, you’re just too weak to get seated on the throne. Humph. Stop dreaming about that.”

The gigantic carp was speaking like a human. Jiang Chen’s eyes were blazing with anger.

“You’re just a normal carp, how dare you challenge me? Hahaha.”

Jiang Chen looked at the gigantic carp with disdain, he sounded critical and provoking. He intended to annoy and offend it.

“So what if there is an azure dragon and white tiger, a vermilion bird and a tortoise? I am an Ice Cloud Carp that was raised by a Great Emperor. I have been listening to his voice everyday during his spiritual journey and it contributed to my success. I guess those divine beasts do not have the opportunity to be enlightened by a Great Emperor. This is my destiny. I think you will never be able to achieve Dao like I did even if you cultivate for another thousands of years. I used to be a normal carp, but now, I just turned into a spiritual Divine Beast that gained tremendous strength.”

The Ice Cloud Carp said arrogantly. Jiang Chen was slightly startled. It was truly unbelievable that a normal carp around the Great Emperor could transform into a gigantic beast. It seemed like this Great Emperor was extraordinarily strong.

“So what? You’re merely a stinking fish. Haha. If the Great Emperor is really that strong, he will make you a Great Emperor then. I thought he was an invincible Great Emperor, but it seems like you’re just flattering yourself.”

Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

“You’re not allowed to offend the dignity of my Nine Region Emperor!”

The Ice Cloud Carp was enraged and the water in the pond was surging rapidly. Jiang Chen felt that this guy was greatly offended and was in towering rage. Jiang Chen was slightly astonished.

“Did you just mention the Nine Region Emperor? So it is his name?”

Jiang Chen attempted to sound him out. Nine Region Emperor, wasn’t he the ancient emperor from the Nine Regions of the Immortal World?
