Chapter 2906 - One Will Never Succeed Without Being Crazy Once
The Fire Qilin silently looked at Jiang Chen, he knew that Jiang Chen had no way out, they’d die for sure if he didn’t come up with any. This was their final hope.
A fearless spirit, an undying will. The Fire Qilin knew that Jiang Chen would never run away and leave Red Lotus behind, he would rather die fighting than to owe someone, especially a woman. The moment he decided to follow Jiang Chen, he knew how this guy would act, otherwise as a prideful Fire Qilin, he wouldn’t have bowed down to him.
“Leave, I cannot promise that I’ll be able to win in this battle.”
Jiang Chen glanced at the Fire Qilin.
“I’m not leaving.” The Fire Qilin determinedly shook his head.
“Fruitless sacrifice, there’s no meaning to it.”
Jiang Chen said as he looked at the Fire Jade Beast. Fight to the very end!
“You’re still able to bet on your own life for your friend, I, Fire Qilin, am no coward! Hahaha. Jiang Chen, you belittle me, my Fire Qilin Clan’s greatest pride is not the talent of a divine beast, but our dignity. We may die but we shall never lose our dignity.”
Jiang Chen was moved by Fire Qilin’s insistence. He did not speak further as it would shame Fire Qilin.
“Good Brother.”
Although Fire Qilin could not do much to help, he certainly gave Jiang Chen a morale boost. Jiang Chen’s heart was determined.
“Bastard, what are you waiting for, why aren’t you leaving?” Red Lotus shouted, her expression slowly getting pale.
She did not know why she’s doing this much. Was it for Jiang Chen? Or was it for the legacy left behind by her fatherly Craftsman God?
However, Jiang Chen was stubborn as he was unwilling to leave.
“That’s not loyalty but stupidity.” Red Lotus’s eyes became red in anger, however, she couldn’t persuade Jiang Chen as the fella threw himself forward.
It’s a battle between hierarchs, someone like him was bound to be slaughtered.
“Let me be stupid for once.” Jiang Chen smiled without fear.
“Stupid fool, that’ll be the final thing you’ll ever do, it’s a pity that you’re too stubborn, perhaps, this is a gift for me from the heavens, kakaka.” The Fire Jade Beast sneered as it released a powerful heat wave.
Red Lotus was pushed back once again and her expression became extremely ugly and pale. Although the Karmic Fire was powerful, the Fire Jade Beast’s flame essence came from the immemorial divine flame god, Zhu Rong, it was extremely powerful too. It’ll be extremely hard for Red Lotus to fight back.
“Cold River Stone! Activate!”
Jiang Chen wielded the Cold River Stone as a terrifying cold qi filled the volcano.
“Cold River Stone? Such a familiar name.” The Fire Jade Beast murmured. There was something like this in his inherited memories.
“Cold River Stone! Destructive Ice God’s supreme weapon!”
The Fire Jade Beast’s expression became serious. At the very next moment, the whole Nine Cauldron Mountain was engulfed by the Cold River Stone’s chilling qi and the temperature plummeted. The cold qi spread across the volcano with Jiang Chen at its centre.
Terrifying cold qi rained down upon the Fire Jade Beast. The Fire Jade Beast’s expression changed as he felt the power coming from it.
“To think you possess the Destructive Ice God’s supreme weapon, though, it’s a pity that you’re unable to exert most of its power. You’ll never defeat me even with that weapon!”
Albeit a bit shocked, the Fire Jade Beast was still confident as he knew Jiang Chen was weak. It wasn’t easy to control such a mighty weapon, it’s impossible without reaching the Hierarch Realm, one would easily get heavily injured if they tried.
“You’re mad! Bastard!” Red Lotus gritted her teeth, feeling anxious.
It’s impossible for Jiang Chen to utilise the Cold River Stone, not even I can! The Cold River Stone’s attribute is completely opposite of mine. Although Jiang Chen may not have this trouble, his Five Elemental True Fire will be suppressed or even be devoured by the Cold River Stone.
Jiang Chen’s doom was fated, it was almost certain. Red Lotus felt a great anger deep within her heart, she tried her best yet he still stayed, Red Lotus was filled with a mix of emotion: anger and happiness.
“This is how a human should be, one will never succeed without being crazy once.”
Jiang Chen’s smile was as calm as ever, even though death was upon him.
Red Lotus was right, Jiang Chen’s Five Elemental True Fire was suppressed to the extreme by the Cold River Stone. Only a flicker of it remained, it was the essence of the Five Elemental True Fire, one that couldn’t even defend against the Cold River Stone. Jiang Chen was ready for this, everything could be spent as long as he could survive.
The cold wind kept on closing on the Fire Jade Beast, it defended with its very best and as its danger sense was ringing. Although Jiang Chen was unable to fully utilise the Cold River Stone, it’s not wrong for him to be wary.
Jiang Chen was engulfed by the cold qi as he turned into the form of the Destructive Ice God and threw a punch towards the beast, it roared and spewed flames as both powers clashed. Jiang Chen was pushed back, his expression was getting uglier by the second, the temperature rose back up as the beast fought back.
