Desolate Ning said coldly. “This man has a type of fire which is needed by Huo Family. He insulted the genius of my family and he must pay for that. His fire will be treated as the compensation.” “Our family wants revenge.” Dan Yuanchong said. “That’s enough. You thought I don’t know what you all want? And the other major powers as well. I am your intention know very well. There is one thing which I have to inform you. This brat’s life belongs to me. None of you will take him away from me. Just wait until I kill him and I obtained the relic and broken sword. As for the rest of the treasures he has, they will be given to you all accordingly.” Desolate Ning yelled without looking at Huo Yuan and Dan Yuanchong. All of a sudden, he rushed forth to Jiang Chen. It was only a blink of an eye for Desolate Niing to reach Jiang Chen with a punch that created gusts of wind. This knuckle strike carried boundless rage. In his point of view, Jiang Chen was going to die instantly under this strike but he didn’t want to kill him first. He wanted to torture him slowly. “You come at the right time.” Jiang Chen’s Qi fluctuated, his body was encompassed with domineering combat intent. The natural instinct of the cultivator of dragon transformation art was their innate ability to combat. It was rare to meet an opponent like Desolate Ning and many other geniuses as well today. As such, Jiang Chen had to make sure the battle was an intense one. He struck as fast as electricity with a simple punch glittering with golden colour, colliding with Desolate Ning’s punch. *Bang!* The two fists carried boundless of energy. When they collided, a large hole was produced in the void and huge fiery sparks were created. *Deng* *Deng* *Deng* Jiang Chen was forced over ten steps backwards by the impact before finding his stability. He could feel his Qi and blood racing in his body and other unpleasant sensation which he couldn’t put in words. However, all of these disappeared very quickly after circulating dragon transformation art. His speed of recovery had reached an unimaginable state because of the help of Mulberry Divine Wood essence. Any ordinary backlash or injuries wouldn’t do him any harm as he could heal within seconds.“What?!” Desolate Ning’s eyes widened as if he had seen the most unimaginable incident. In his imagination, his punch would at least destroy all Jiang Chen’s combat strength even if it couldn’t kill him. He didn’t imagine that Jiang Chen only received some backlash from his strike. And, Jiang Chen looked perfectly fine and uninjured. How could this possibly happen? Judging by his opponent’s Qi, he was only a Fourth Grade Minor Saint. It was impossible for him to be so powerful even if he had made a leap from third grade to fourth grade in the auction house. “Very powerful… Why haven’t I heard about this Jiang Chen before? He can actually fight equally with Desolate Ning with his current grade. One should know that Desolate Ning is a powerful Seventh Grade Minor Saint and a genius of Desolate Family. Some say that he has defeated an Eighth Grade Minor Saint before.” “That’s right. It’s absurd. It seems like this guy does have some abilities to be able to have a draw in the first round. Won’t Desolate Ning be instantly killed if he were to be at the same grade with Jiang Chen? This is no doubt vey monstrous.” “Agreed, but his cultivation grade is too weak. There is a three grade difference between him and Desolate Ning. The first round was a very clear indication. The two of them still varies considerably in strength. In fact, Desolate Ning didn’t strike with his full strength just now. It was a just an attack to test his enemy.” …….. Jiang Chen’s ability to handle Desolate Ning’s attack amazed everyone. Their gaze for Jiang Chen had changed dramatically as well. The current Jiang Chen was calm; it seemed the backlash didn’t affect any of his psychology. ‘The genius of Desolate Family is surely exceptional. My advancement to Fourth Grade Minor Saint makes me capable to kill any ordinary Seventh Grade Minor Saint. But if my opponent is Desolate Ning, I won’t be able to hurt him. Now it seems only dragon transformation can help me on this.” Jiang Chen said to himself. After measuring the difference between the both of them, he would certainly fail to defeat Desolate Ning with his current condition. But if he used dragon transformation, he would have ten times his current combat strength. The gap of difference would be shortened immediately. When he was in human-dragon form, he was confident that he could take down Desolate Ning and retrieve his long lost finger bone. “But, due to the advancement depending highly on dark spirits, my foundation and base has become unstable. Now it’s the good time to use my current strength to fight Desolate Ning and use the pressure he gives me to fortify my base.” Jiang Chen had decided that he wouldn’t use dragon transformation. A battle like this would definitely bring him great benefits. “Jiang Chen, it seems I have underestimated you. You can actually bear my attack with your current grade. You are the first who can do this. But unfortunately, you have offended me and so you’re destined to be killed as your cultivation grade is too weak. Killing you is as simple as raising my hands. The strike just now was merely a test for my opponent. If you kowtow before me right now, I will honour the agreement I said just now.” Desolate Ning spoke loudly. “It’s enough.” Jiang Chen could no longer bear it anymore. He struck with his True Dragon Palm, a scary blood-red dragon claw appeared above the sky and reached Desolate Ning’s head in a second. True Dragon Palm pressed against Desolate Ning down like the weight of Mount Tai. “A very powerful combat skill, but you are destined to be weaker than me.” Desolate Ning’s murderous aura soared to the sky. With a second word, both of his palms released brilliant light that looked like millions of sharp swords piercing through the void. Then, his both palms struck forth with a boundless energy equivalent to that of a mountain falling from the sky, which could destroy everything.
