Chapter 1696 The Arrogant Coward
Chapter 1696 The Arrogant Coward
With his eighth-level rank, he blocked a demigod's killing intent.
Throughout history, there have been many geniuses who have been able to do this, but what truly moved the demigod phantoms was not his strength, but his unwavering determination and resolve when facing numerous demigods.
This young man possesses an indescribable resilience, making him undoubtedly a rough gem in the eyes of the God of War.
Some of them still looked at Jian Changsheng with murderous intent, but others looked at him with a hint of appreciation... The demigod's murderous intent still raged on the earth, making it hard for Jian Changsheng to breathe.
A faint, elusive voice rang out from among the demigods of military strategy:
"The ancient art of war is the embodiment of all killing and conquest throughout history... This sword bears the weight of civilization. Neither man nor god is qualified to draw it... And you... what gives you the right?"
“I don’t care about qualifications or anything like that,” Jian Changsheng answered without hesitation. “I only know that I must kill a world-destroying calamity…only it can help me.”
"A world-destroying being... is not worthy."
When the demigods of military strategy heard that Jian Changsheng intended to use this sword to kill a world-destroying beast, the admiration in their eyes was immediately replaced by disdain. They spoke coldly, directly blocking Jian Changsheng's idea.
For some reason, these demigods of military strategy all seemed to share Bai Qi's extreme aversion to world-destroying calamities, yet they also looked down on the other side...
As the pinnacle of human warfare, they are not afraid of any world-ending calamity. Any one of them could probably fight against the destruction of the world. Therefore, they do not think that the destruction of the world requires the use of the ancient sword of war, the Sword of War.
"I told you, it won't work." Bai Qi's voice echoed softly in Jian Changsheng's heart. "They are far more arrogant than you imagine. No one, no matter who they are, is worthy of becoming a target of the Ancient Treasury of Military Strategy..."
Bai Qi was once a member here, so he naturally knew what kind of people the other demigods were. Not to mention that today's visitor was just an eighth-order Asura, even if the current demigod-level leader of the God of War came, he wouldn't get a good look.
But to everyone's surprise, Jian Changsheng did not give up. He coldly swept his gaze over the several demigods of military strategy and uttered a chilling statement with a sneer:
"A bunch of...arrogant cowards."
All of a sudden.
The entire military restricted area fell into a deathly silence.
Even Bai Qi in Jian Changsheng's mind was stunned for a long time... and then let out a faint chuckle.
boom--! ! !
The next second, a surging killing intent powerful enough to crush the heavens and earth suddenly erupted, and pairs of angry and murderous eyes stared at Jian Changsheng, who was suppressed on the ground, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces!
"you……"
"say what?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Jian Changsheng's face was deathly pale, but his upright posture still withstood the terrifying pressure as he spoke in a deep voice.
"A bunch of old fogies who died long ago, putting on airs here... Do you know what era it is outside? Do you know what the current state of humanity is? Do you know what it means to not be able to kill that calamity?"
"You know absolutely nothing!!"
"You only know how to cling to your past glory and take it for granted to point fingers at others... You don't care at all whether humanity can continue in the future; you're just indulging in your memories of being invincible in the world."
"You are nothing but a bunch of cowards clinging to life in the ancient military camp!!"
Jian Changsheng's roar echoed like thunder in the restricted area. He was so suppressed by the killing aura of the demigod that his veins bulged all over his body. But instead of being defeated, he burst out with even more powerful strength!
He gripped the broken sword, forcefully pulled one foot off the ground, and took another step forward!
Black ribbons danced wildly in the wind;
Jian Changsheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he resembled a jackal pushed to its limit, baring its fangs at all its predators with unwavering ferocity.
"If you're not satisfied, then come on."
"I don't care which era you were once demigods of military strategy..."
"Today, I will draw that sword, and I will kill Ji Zai!!!"
The moment the words fell, deep within Jian Changsheng's consciousness, the corners of that ancient god of slaughter couldn't help but curl upwards...
Boom-! ! !
As Jian Changsheng took another step, Bai Qi's phantom appeared behind him, and an aura of a demigod of military strategy surged out from his armor, forcefully tearing a gap in the pressure of those demigods of military strategy!
In an instant, a roar of killing intent echoed within the restricted area, and a visible vortex of black clouds formed above the sword of Bingdao Guzang!
Sensing the relentless killing intent of the demigod supporting him, Jian Changsheng was momentarily stunned...
"you……"
Jian Changsheng never expected that Bai Qi would take the initiative to unleash his demigod killing intent to help him at this critical moment.
"Well said!" Bai Qi snorted coldly. "These idiots... I've been fed up with them for a long time. Today, you've really hit the nail on the head."
"Today, although I cannot help you pull out that sword... I guarantee you will fight your way through this place and reach the hilt of the sword."
The moment Bai Qi's murderous aura appeared, astonishment also appeared in the eyes of several demigods of military strategy!
"Bai Qi?"
Clang——! !
Before they could react, Jian Changsheng had already unleashed his killing intent, his black hair dancing wildly, and gripping a broken sword, slashing at the phantoms like a god descending to earth!
……
"plum bossom!!"
"How are you?!"
Sun Bumian's anxious calls rang out from inside the Lion Dance.
At this moment, the Lion's claws were gripping Ji Zai's back tightly, and the seven-colored flames were burning fiercely. Even as it repeatedly leaped and dived in the frozen sea, the flames did not go out... However, the flames on its body had faded considerably compared to the beginning.
With the power of reincarnation being consumed at an alarming rate, Sun Bumian's demigod state could not be maintained for much longer. If he could not speed things up and quickly lure Jizai to the Ancient Treasury of Military Path, he and Jiang Xiaohua would probably die in the Frozen Sea.
Sun Bumian also witnessed Bai Ye's death from exhaustion. Now, only he and Jiang Xiaohua remained in the encirclement team.
"I... am alright." Jiang Xiaohua gripped the bandage with one hand, while his other arm, which had been bitten to pieces, was now empty. He struggled to maneuver and dodge the bites in front of the calamity.
The calamity behind him was like a wild beast stretched to its limit. The constant fighting and chasing had already drained its strength, but despite the extreme pain within its body, its hatred had not diminished in the slightest...
As if it knew it was nearing its limit, it twirled its almost broken tail with all its might, instantly increasing its speed and unleashing an extreme killing intent!
This sudden acceleration threw the already weakened Sun Bumian off its back, while the abyssal maw opened wide and forcefully tore off the legs of the exhausted Jiang Xiaohua!
