Chapter 2557: Chapter 2560: The Grandmaster Arrives

"It’s over! Jiang Chen is finished!"

"With the Five Great Sages joining forces against him, his death will be glorious!"

"To have attracted the attention of the Five Great Sages, this kid will surely be remembered in the annals of history, even in death!"

"Even the Gold-devouring Rat Clan cannot stop these five forces. Who else can save him? He’s doomed!"

Everyone looked with complex expressions at Jiang Chen, who was surrounded in the center. The various forces had all heard of Jiang Chen’s feats in the Abandoned Plains, and were astonished by Jiang Chen’s talent and combat ability. Some had even hailed Jiang Chen as a figure of outstanding prowess!

But now, with the momentum of the Five Great Sages erupting, everyone understood that this exceptional figure would likely meet his end!

"Damn it!"

Hu Yiqiu gritted his teeth and glared at the five figures in the air. At this moment, they were completely immobilized, unable to sense any power within themselves as if it had disappeared entirely. Apart from being able to move their eyes, they couldn’t even speak.

"Take him away!"

Liu Changlong commanded in a deep voice.

Swish!

The Semi-Saint Elder from the Spirit Sword Sect flashed into the crowd, looking at Jiang Chen with a mocking expression.

Buzz!

Jin Ming was just about to take action when five immense pressures bore down on him, leaving him only the ability to resist. Even if he were to fight, he could not threaten a Semi-Saint powerhouse.

"Kid, try being arrogant now!"

The Semi-Saint powerhouse from Spirit Sword Sect sneered, reaching out to grab Jiang Chen’s collar.

Hu Yiqiu, Yun Cheng, and the others looked anxious, but were unable to stop it!

"Let me make a move!"

A voice appeared in Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

"No need, Yu Fei Fairy, help me by shattering the Jade Pendant in my left hand!"

Jiang Chen stared straight ahead at the Semi-Saint powerhouse before him, responding in his Sea of Consciousness.

He felt regretful in his heart, wishing he had shattered the Jade Pendant earlier. Now, under the might of the Saints, he couldn’t even break this Life-Saving Jade Pendant.

Buzz!

A surge of Primordial Spirit Power streamed from the Sea of Consciousness, hitting the Jade Pendant on Jiang Chen’s left hand.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the space to Jiang Chen’s left began to tremble violently, and a spatial rift materialized out of thin air.

"What’s happening?"

"How is the space tearing?"

"Is there a mighty figure arriving?!"

Exclamations of shock rang out as the crowd stared in amazement at the direction to Jiang Chen’s left.

"Quick, hold him!"

The faces of Liu Changlong and the others changed, and they shouted.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Semi-Saint powerhouses of the Five Great Forces rushed towards Jiang Chen. The Semi-Saint in front of Jiang Chen had a change of expression, and his arm speed suddenly increased, appearing instantly in front of Jiang Chen’s neck.

"Die!"

A low roar of fury sounded as a fist emerged from the spatial rift on Jiang Chen’s left, striking fiercely at the chest of the Semi-Saint powerhouse from Spirit Sword Sect.

The Semi-Saint’s expression changed; this fist had come later but arrived first, appearing directly in front of him.

With a thought, the Semi-Saint powerhouse from Spirit Sword Sect wanted to retreat but suddenly realized that his body couldn’t move at all, his eyes showing shock.

Bang!

A blast echoed as the fist smashed into the Semi-Saint powerhouse’s chest, causing his body to explode entirely, turning into a blood-red mist blown towards the other four Semi-Saint powerhouses rushing forward.

"Who?!"

Liu Changlong’s eyes were wide with rage, feeling that in the Abandoned Plains, another Semi-Saint from Spirit Sword Sect had already died, and now another one had fallen, leaving a mark even on the foundation of their sect!

"It’s your grandpa!"

A rough voice cursed, and a figure charged out from the spatial rift, going straight for the four Semi-Saint powerhouses.

"Stop!"

"How audacious!"

"You dare?!"

The four people led by Cao Feng shouted, their figures flickered as they tried to advance.

Buzz!

A mysterious aura appeared, impacting fiercely in front of Cao Feng and his group, halting their figures and causing them to exclaim in shock, "Saint Monarch!"

Bang, bang, bang!

In the instant that Cao Feng’s group was stopped, four explosive sounds echoed, the four Semi-Saint powerhouses exploded into clouds of blood mist, drifting away with the wind!

Liu Changlong’s vision darkened; he nearly fainted from the pain.

Five Semi-Saints!

At this point, it’s more than just a blow to the foundation — it’s a disastrous loss!

Yet, no matter how mad he felt at that moment, he dared not move an inch.

Because he recognized who had arrived!

"Holy crap! What’s going on?!"

"What happened?"

"Five, five Semi-Saint powerhouses just..."

"So strong! Who is this person? Could he be Jiang Chen’s backup?"

The surrounding crowd finally reacted, exclaiming in shock and looking at the elder floating above Jiang Chen and the others.

"The disciple greets the venerable master!"

"Greetings, venerable master!"

"Greetings, Saint Elder!"

"Greetings, senior!"

As the elder appeared, the suppression on Jiang Chen and the others disappeared instantly, and they all cupped their fists in salute towards the elder.

"Master, kill these shameless bastards! They ganged up and bullied your disciple, wipe them out!"

Hu Yiqiu shouted loudly, his eyes filled with delight. Only now did he recall that Jiang Chen had the Life-Saving Jade Pendant from his master, something even he didn’t possess.

The person who arrived was none other than Hu Yiqiu’s master, Jiang Chen and Yun Tao’s grandmaster, Changling Academy’s Saint Elder, Elder Zhu!

"Master?! Grandmaster?"

"Holy crap! Jiang Chen’s grandmaster is this terrifying?!"

"No wonder he dared to antagonize so many major forces at once!"

"It seemed like Liu Sect Master and the others shouted ’Saint Monarch’; what realm is that?"

Everyone around began to shout, though no great battle had erupted today; it was full of twists and turns!

"The five saints joined forces against you, kid. What earth-shaking deeds have you done? Come, tell your grandmaster, make him laugh!"

Elder Zhu landed in front of Jiang Chen, completely ignoring Liu Changlong and the others, looking at Jiang Chen with interest.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, glancing at Liu Changlong and the others. Since Elder Zhu appeared, their expressions had turned quite grim, and they hadn’t spoken at all, their eyes darting around, contemplating something.

Phew!

Seeing his grandmaster control the situation, Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "It’s nothing, just..."

"Slain a few Semi-Saints? Destroyed the Primordial Spirit of an alien king? Haha... Awesome! Well done! You’re truly my Zhu Tianming’s disciple, you’ve done splendidly! Haha! My Zhu Tianming’s disciple is strong! Haha..."

Elder Zhu listened to Jiang Chen’s account, then patted Jiang Chen heavily on the shoulder, laughing heartily, his face full of pride and satisfaction.

Jiang Chen grinned, enduring the pain in his shoulder, glancing at Hu Yiqiu who was also grinning proudly, murmuring inwardly that truly they were master and disciple, their self-praise was carved from the same mold.

"Master, there’s one more matter for which I must ask for your forgiveness. If the Academy really places me on the bounty board, I won’t dispute it!"

Jiang Chen noticed Meng Changde among the crowd, his eyes flickered as he cupped his fist towards Zhu Tianming, speaking with solemnity.
