Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2504

“Jian Chen, do you have the courage to fight me?” Jun Kong called out again, and with that, a powerful presence erupted from his body, flooding towards Jian Chen.

At this moment, Jun Kong was brimming with battle intent. He was filled with confidence as if victory was within his grasp.

After all, he had comprehended the Heart of Life and Death out of the three concepts. Although his strength right now was not as great as Shangguan Mu’er and her Zither of the Demonic Cry, he was definitely powerful enough to make it into the top ten of the Godkings’ Throne.

As a matter of fact, Jun Kong had a certain level of confidence about making it into the top three and challenging first place.

This was because he had basically inherited a tiny portion of the Third Ancestor’s legacy, while most of the people who stood at first place in the past only obtained the legacies of a few regular Grand Primes. Some of them did not even have the legacies of Grand Primes.

Such a legacy was nowhere close to even a part of the Third Ancestor’s legacy.

“Even the Wind Ancestor who basically never interferes with the matters of the sect has agreed to my battle with Jian Chen. It looks like Jian Chen’s strength really isn’t special at all, or the Wind Ancestor would have never let me fight him,” thought Jun Kong. He was still under the impression that the Wind Ancestor would stand on his side.

“But that only makes sense. Mu’er is the Third Ancestor’s successor after all. She’s far too important to our Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. The Wind Ancestor probably doesn’t want Jian Chen alive anymore in case he’ll affect Mu’er in the future. She agreed to my fight with Jian Chen probably because she wants me to eliminate him…”

As soon as he thought of that, Jun Kong sneered inside, “Mu’er, haven’t you been longing for Jian Chen so much in the past? Haven’t you held great hopes for him in the past? Haven’t you told me that I’m nowhere close to being as great as Jian Chen? I’ll show you just how puny your Jian Chen is in my hands.”

“Haha, you sure talk big, Jun Kong. Since you want to fight, I’ll fight with you.” Jian Chen stared at Jun Kong like he was looking at a joke. Jun Kong was only a Godking, so Jian Chen really struggled to imagine where his confidence came from.

Deng Wenxin and Gu Xin stared at Jun Kong strangely. Jun Kong had always been someone clever in their eyes. Since when did he become so dim?

“Surely it isn’t the aftereffects of the Intoxicating Philtre, right? Although Jun Kong is free from the poison now, he still hasn’t recovered completely, right?” Deng Wenxin and Gu Na could not help but wonder to themselves; this was the only explanation that they could think of.

Even Lian Qi stared at Jun Kong with mixed feelings. Deep disappointment appeared in his eyes. He wanted to warn Jun Kong, but when he opened his mouth, he only sighed gently. He said nothing.

“Rumour has it that Jian Chen is a vicious person, and he killed many people in the Neptunean Divine Palace; this even led to the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance and the Solitary Sword Ancestor hunting him down. Now that the Wind Ancestor has permitted the battle, Jian Chen probably won’t show mercy from how he’s like. The Wind Ancestor is clearly sacrificing Jun Kong,” thought Lian Qi. He felt powerless over the Wind Ancestor’s intentions.

“But what I don’t understand is why must the Wind Ancestor sacrifice Jun Kong? After all, he has comprehended the Heart of Life and Death, so his future potential is unlimited. Is she sacrificing such an outstanding genius just to pacify Jian Chen’s anger? What’s so special about Jian Chen? Are we supposed to make such a great sacrifice over such a small matter?”

“Is it because he’s a part of the Martial Soul lineage? Is it because he has returned the Anatta Tower and established a connection with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng?” Lian Qi was unwilling to accept this. He believed that even if Jun Kong was in the wrong, he did not deserve all this.

“Jun Kong cannot die!” Immediately, Lian Qi made up his mind.

“Mu’er, don’t interfere with the fight this time,” Jun Kong suddenly said to Shangguan Mu’er. He seemed like he was afraid that she would suddenly save Jian Chen or something.

Shangguan Mu’er was clearly stunned when she heard that. She glanced at Jian Chen and said with a strange expression, “Alright, I won’t.”

With that, Jun Kong made up his mind. With a flip of his hand, a jade flute appeared and pleasant music rang out slowly.

The music was pleasant, where the soft sounds could pierce through anything, as if it could reach the depths of the soul. It possessed the power to control the lives of opponents, making their souls pulse, their hearts leap, and their blood flow with the music.

It was as if he could control everything through the flute.

This was one of the three supreme concepts of the Third Ancestor, the Heart of Life and Death!

It was controlling the lives of people through music.

It was different from the Two Tunes of Demonic and Divine. The Demonic Tune out of the two tunes directly targeted the soul, while the Heart of Life and Death controlled the lives of people.

Jun Kong used his full strength right from the start, wanting to demolish Jian Chen in an overwhelming manner or even kill him off.

“With my cultivation as a late Godking, I can even affect some First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes with the Heart of Life and Death. I wonder how long Jian Chen can last,” thought Jun Kong. He was extremely confident about his current strength. He had not considered any chances of failure at all.

“Your skills with the flute are impressive!” Jian Chen was in no hurry to fight back. He stared at Jun Kong like he was looking at a joke as he remained composed. He was utterly unaffected.

Jun Kong’s music did indeed possess a certain level of lethality, but that was to First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes at most. Jian Chen was on a completely different level to him; the disparity was overwhelming.

Besides, Jian Chen’s soul had fused with a strand of true Chaotic Force, allowing it to change and making it extremely powerful. As a result, Jun Kong’s performance was completely reduced to simple music to Jian Chen’s ears.

Sensing Jian Chen’s composure, Jun Kong’s expression changed. “He’s actually unaffected! No! Impossible!” Jun Kong was unable to accept this. In the next moment, his rhythm became rather hurried as he pushed his Heart of Life and Death to the limit. As a result, his music seemed to possess the power of the ways of the world, interwoven with the two differing concepts of life and death. As a result, the power of his music immediately multiplied.

“Jun Kong, is this your limit? And you still say you want to fight me? You can’t even harm me, so I really wonder where your confidence comes from,” Jian Chen said coldly with contempt.

Jun Kong had used underhanded methods against Shangguan Mu’er. Jian Chen would never let someone as despicable as that have an easy death.
