Chapter 436: Punish four one five

Upon hearing these words, Xia Ji’s face completely changed, he spoke in somewhat an embarrassed tone, "Jiang Chen, don’t sling mud without reason, I, Xia Ji have been upright in my dealings all my life. Everything I have done is for the Human Race, without an iota of self-interest."

"If this is not the case, let me die beneath the Nine Tripods, forever unable to reincarnate!"

Xia Ji, angered by Jiang Chen’s words, even pledged a deadly oath to prove his innocence.

Jiang Chen trusted his words. He firmly believed that Xia Ji’s actions were all for the sake of the Human Race, not for personal gain. However, it was for this very reason that Jiang Chen found it even more terrifying.

This is because he won’t see any fault in his actions. He does this for the Human Race, what is wrong with that? For the growth of the Human Race, even if it means sacrificing some of the benefits, even his own benefits, what is the harm?

This is stupidity, not malice.

Those from the Ancestral Land, they are simply evil, but Xia Ji, he is simply stupid. You can call him stupid, but you cannot say he is evil, but this kind of stupidity is even more terrifying than evil.

In an instant, Jiang Chen lost any intention of arguing with Xia Ji. Arguing with a fool is not the act of a wise man.

Massaging his temple, Jiang Chen helplessly said, "Xia Ji, the Emperor’s birthday is approaching, shouldn’t you be going to the Fire Cloud Cave to celebrate His Majesty’s birthday?"

Jiang Chen did not want to see Xia Ji anymore. He was sending him off to the Fire Cloud Cave. Once there, the elders of the Ji Family would have a way to discipline him.

"Humph!"

Xia Ji snorted coldly and turned around to leave. He knew Jiang Chen was finding an excuse to dismiss him. Otherwise, if the two of them started fighting, neither of them would look good.

With his departure, Jiang Chen’s face grew solemn, and a murderous intent emerged in his eyes. Xia Ji belonged to the Ji Family, he did not dare to act against him, but those from the Ancestral Land were different.

Moving his mind, Jiang Chen intended to go to the Ancestral Land. However, before leaving, he needed to first sweep away the trash in the summer capital.

"Cheng An, have you gone mad, daring to strike me?"

Outside the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, a voice brimming with astonishment and anger, shaking like thunder, suddenly reverberated throughout the summer capital.

In an instant, countless people were disturbed and looked upwards towards the source of the voice. And they saw, in mid-air, a thin old man, was battling against a deity surrounded by electric thunder.

These two were Elder Cheng and a powerful individual from the Divine Race.

After Elder Cheng left, following Jiang Chen’s instructions, he hung the corpse of the young lord of the Divine Race in the most conspicuous place in the summer capital.

Then, taking advantage of his identity, he used the young lord’s incident as an excuse to meet the strongest representative of the Divine Race in the summer capital, Divine Monarch Wu Heng. Taking him by surprise, he made an audacious sneak attack.

Wu Heng, one of the strongest in the Divine Race, had achieved the realm of Innate Dao Monarch at the end of the ancient times and was horrifically strong.

Such a powerful individual, even if attacked by surprise by Elder Cheng, couldn’t be killed. He only sustained minor injuries, which were not lethal.

Afterwards, once Wu Heng regained his senses, the scene before us unfolded.

"Cheng An, my race has not mistreated you; why would you betray us?" Even now, Divine Monarch Wu Heng didn’t want to believe that Elder Cheng, a person nurtured by the Divine Race, would betray them.

"It’s not that I betrayed the Divine Race, but now, thanks to the Emperor Lord’s guidance, I finally understand who I am, and know what the righteous path is."

"In the past, I was lost in the sea of suffering, ignorant of the righteous path, and thus followed the Divine Race to create various grievances. Now that I understand the righteous path, naturally I need to make a clear distinction from the Divine Race, and accumulate more merits to atone for my sins."

While Elder Cheng was speaking, his body had already turned into a dark shadow, flickering ceaselessly in the void, appearing beside Divine Monarch Wu Heng. His palm cut down sharply, even dividing space into two halves.

In the face of Elder Cheng’s attack, Divine Monarch Wu Heng shrunk his body and turned into a lightning bolt, appearing in the distance, making Elder Cheng’s attack miss its mark.

"Cheng An, have you been bewitched or brainwashed by someone?"

As Divine Monarch Wu Heng re-appeared, looking at Elder Cheng’s devout expression, he understood what had happened.

However, he couldn’t comprehend what kind of transformative divine ability could so thoroughly transform a formidable opponent like Elder Cheng into a completely different person in such a short time.

"Cheng An, wake up!"

Divine Monarch Wu Heng activated the power of thunder, creating a great rumble, as if the Heavenly Dao was roaring, carrying a heart-shaking power, he rolled towards Elder Cheng, in an attempt to awaken Elder Cheng’s lost soul.

But, it was useless!

Could the power of thunder break through Jiang Chen’s divine ability? Divine Monarch Wu Heng was overthinking.

Elder Cheng, regardless of his own injury, once again turned into a dark shadow and rushed towards Divine Monarch Wu Heng, despite the thunder.

"Cheng An, since you are so stubborn, don’t blame me for not being polite." Understanding that he couldn’t recall Elder Cheng’s consciousness, Divine Monarch Wu Heng finally decided to kill him.

Frightening lightning surged around him, transforming into various weapons, be it a knife, spear, sword or halberd, all diversely distinct and massive, rumbling towards Elder Cheng.

Boom!

At this moment, both were determined to kill each other, fiercely fighting in the upper space of the summer capital.

Below, the City Protection Array of the summer capital had already started operating autonomously, erasing the aftereffects of their battle. If it hadn’t been for this, the summer capital would have long been reduced to ruins under their attacks.
