Chapter 2508: The Wind Ancestor Shows Herself
With Shangguan Mu’er weakening Lian Qi’s music, its influence over Jian Chen was immediately reduced.
However, this was only temporary. Lian Qi was a Chaotic Prime after all, so his music was extremely powerful. Even after it was weakened, Jian Chen would only be able to last a few more seconds.
Once the battle became drawn out, Jian Chen would still fall unconscious from how sleepy he felt.
Jian Chen understood this. He stopped holding back. Sword Qi surged from him as he launched an intense attack with the nine stars conjured from the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways.
However, his attack was only at the level of Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. At most, it had reached the level of Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. It was still nothing before Lian Qi who had become a Chaotic Prime many years ago.
Lian Qi hovered still in the air. He continued to blow his flute gently, except it had suddenly become rather sharp.
As the sharp sound rang out, visible sound waves shot out like swords, colliding with Jian Chen’s Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways.
Jian Chen’s attack collapsed with a boom once again. It was easily dispersed. They were on completely different levels, and the huge difference could not be made up for.
However, the moment the two attacks collided, Jian Chen sneered. His gaze immediately became stunning as heavy killing intent shone.
A strand of finger-sized, silver-white sword Qi silently appeared above his head.
Supreme sword intent immediately filled the surroundings the moment it appeared. The sword Qi was so powerful that it could shake up the world, causing the expressions of Lian Qi, Deng Wenxin, and Gu Na to change.
Lian Qi’s eyes narrowed as he faced Jian Chen. His indifferent expression immediately became serious.
He sensed an intense threat from the strand of sword Qi.
The tiny strand of sword Qi could definitely harm him.
“Oh no!” Lian Qi became extremely vigilant.
It was also at this moment that the strand of sword Qi erupted with unmatched speed. It shot through the air, surpassing the limits of space and vanishing with a flash. It was so so fast that it shocked Lian Qi.
However, the strand of sword Qi did not shoot towards Lian Qi. Instead, it approached Jun Kong, who had been under Lian Qi’s protection.
In an instant, the sword Qi arrived before Jun Kong’s face. It was just too fast, so Lian Qi could not stop it even if he tried.
Powerful energy and Laws of Music revolved around Jun Kong, protecting him.
However, the sword Qi directly bypassed these defenses and pierced through space, shooting right into Jun Kong’s head.
Bang!
Jun Kong’s head immediately exploded. His entire head had vanished, and he was reduced to a headless corpse. His soul had dispersed the moment the sword Qi struck.
Jun Kong died.
The Profound Sword Qi was just too powerful. Now that Jian Chen had refined his fourth strand of Profound Sword Qi, every single one of them was even more powerful than before. It could directly kill weaker Infinite Primes, so it was impossible for Jun Kong’s head to remain intact as a mere Godking. He died with an incomplete corpse.
The suddenness shocked Deng Wenxin, Gu Na, and Lian Qi. They all stared at Jun Kong’s corpse blankly as they struggled to accept the entire matter.
Jian Chen had actually managed to kill Jun Kong despite the protection of a Chaotic Prime. They were deeply stunned by his abilities and methods.
“Kong’er!” Only a while later did Lian Qi called out sorrowfully. He was grief-stricken.
Jun Kong was the prodigy he had raised by pouring his heart out. He had attempted the Godkings’ Throne and become a supreme Godking, and then he had comprehended the Third Ancestor’s Heart of Life and Death. He was Lian Qi’s pride, and Lian Qi held high hopes for him.
Now that he had just watched Jun Kong die a miserable death right before him, he struggled to accept it.
But very soon, a surging presence erupted from Lian Qi. Jun Kong’s death had completely infuriated him. Heavy killing intent rose up from the bottom of his heart.
“Jian Chen!” Lian Qi stared right at Jian Chen with deep hatred. He was unable to hide his killing intent.
Jian Chen stood there with his sword. He stared right back at Lian Qi in a piercing manner and showed no fear. He said coldly, “His fate was already set in stone the moment he used the Intoxicating Philtre against Mu’er. Jun Kong had it coming, or maybe I should say that you, as his master, didn’t watch over him properly.” Jian Chen secretly became cautious, ready to contact the Martial Soul Mountain at any time.
When he left the Martial Soul Mountain, he had learnt a corresponding secret technique that he could use to send a distress signal to the Martial Soul Mountain with a single thought. In just a few seconds the people of the Martial Soul lineage would arrive.
It was also because of the Martial Soul Mountain that Jian Chen dared to act so fearlessly in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, showing no fear towards Chaotic Primes and even killing someone before them.
Lian Qi said nothing. At that moment, he had basically become an enraged beast, almost losing all rationality. He stared at Jian Chen fiercely as killing intent rose from him. A terrifying presence permeated the surroundings.
“Jun Kong is dead, and you’ve vented your anger. Jian Chen, are you satisfied now?” At this moment, an obscure voice rang out.
With that, a beautiful woman silently appeared before Jian Chen.
She seemed to be in her thirties, but she still possessed astonishing beauty. Her presence was otherworldly, and she was filled with the energy of youth.
“Wind Ancestor!”
Deng Wenxin and Gu Na immediately clasped their fists and bowed when they saw the woman. Even Lian Qi held back on his presence slightly, greeting her as his senior.
In the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound, the Wind Ancestor definitely held supreme authority. Not only did she possess extremely great strength, making her the most powerful in the sect, but she was also a figure who came from the same age as the Third Ancestor. In the past, she had been the Third Ancestor’s senior, which made her seniority frightening.
The Wind Ancestor had shown herself, and she happened to be standing in an extremely clever position, right between Jian Chen and Lian Qi. Perhaps she wanted to separate them.
“Mu’er greets the Wind Ancestor!” At this moment, Shangguan Mu’er arrived beside Jian Chen and bowed towards the Wind Ancestor.
The Wind Ancestor looked at Shangguan Mu’er. Her gaze was gentle. “Mu’er, I spent a majority of my time in seclusion and did not manage the affairs of the sect, so I’ve probably made you suffer quite a lot. I hope you don’t distance yourself from the sect. The Daoist Sect of Divine Sound is your second home.”
“Thank you for your concern, Wind Ancestor. Jun Kong is already dead, so my grievances with him have come to an end,” said Shangguan Mu’er.
The Wind Ancestor nodded. She did not even glance at Jun Kong’s corpse as if she did not care about him at all. Instead, she said to Gu Na and Lian Qi, “There are still some matters I want to talk to Mu’er and Jian Chen about alone, so you two are dismissed.”
Neither Gu Na nor Lian Qi dared to disobey the Wind Ancestor’s orders. Lian Qi glanced at Jian Chen coldly before leaving with Gu Na and Jun Kong’s corpse.
