Chapter 3012 – Third City Lord’s Killing Intent

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It was the bronze throne, it was the bronze throne again!

Jiang Chen was overwhelmed with joy. None of them realized its existence and they probably did not know about its power as well. He knew that the man in the ice and even Destructive Ice God used to conceal the secret of the bronze throne from him. Both of them were standing on the top of the Divine World at that moment. For now, Jiang Chen did not know the real identity of the Sealed Man and how strong the Destructive Ice God was. Undoubtedly, they were unbeatable and invincible strong experts.

The Sealed Man was still an insurmountable obstacle for Jiang Chen. He seemed to integrate with the world and he was born by nature. Perhaps he was not as strong as Jiang Chen expected, but he seemed an inseparable part from heaven and they could do nothing to him. The Sealed Man was treating the bronze throne seriously so Jiang Chen could not help but be careful, even though the bronze throne was not a divine weapon. Thankfully, it seemed that it was not anything special when compared to the mountain of treasure in this place because no one was showing interest in a defective rusty bronze throne. They did not even manage to collect all the treasure here, not to mention a bronze throne which looked like a useless scrap.

At that moment, Jiang Chen realized that he was completely enveloped in a formation. The Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation was launched once again. In fact, the formation had never been broken before! Perhaps it was just a delusion, they had never opened the White Jade Stone Gate. Besides, the Heavenly Frost Sword and the death of Lei Duo were merely smoke and mirrors to distract their attention.

Jiang Chen was agitated and anxious, but he was desperate to get the bronze throne. He owned three bronze thrones at the moment and he wanted to get another one! Although he knew nothing about the bronze throne, it should be an extraordinary treasure since the Sealed Man was afraid of it. It seemed very likely to be the most valuable item in the mountain of treasure.

There was no room for hesitation, Jiang Chen rushed to the bronze throne immediately. This was the only thing he was interested in. Even though the other treasures were precious, they failed to catch his eyes, they were not as tempting as the bronze throne.

Except Jiang Chen, each of them was staring at the treasure with blazing eyes. Apparently, Xue Liang was the most desperate person to get the treasures. He only had eyes for the swords. The thousands of divine weapons and swords seemed meaningless to him since he already had the Heavenly Dragon Sword. None of them was stronger than the Heavenly Dragon Sword.

Jiang Chen fixed his eyes on the bronze throne, without hesitation. The moment that he held the bronze throne in his hand, his face trembled. His soul and spirit were nearly separated from his body. His mind went blank for a moment and he heard awful and ear-splitting screams behind him.

Jiang Chen looked back immediately, but it was too late for that. The Third City Lord had killed Yang Xikuan and Chi Haifei at a lightning speed. They never expected the Third City Lord to treat them ruthlessly. Two instructors from the Profound Connection Divine Palace were killed by the Third City Lord without a reason.

“Third City Lord, you……”

Yang Xikuan had been serving the Profound Connection Divine Palace for hundreds of years and he ended up being killed mercilessly. It sounded like a deadly joke to them. Qian Renji backed away swiftly, her face turned white. She felt so wrong after the death of Yang Xikuan and Chi Haifei. The Third City Lord just killed his own subordinates who used to fight together with him, relentlessly and mercilessly.

The same thing would have happened to Qian Renji if she did not manage to make her escape in time. However, the next target of the Third City Lord was Qian Renji.

“Third City Lord, this……”

The Third Elder was completely dumbfounded. This did not make sense as both of them were from the Profound Connection Divine Palace after all. He was treating them in an absolutely cruel and violent way.

“They knew too much about this so I think they shouldn’t stay alive. No one can seize the things that belong to the Profound Connection Divine Palace. They should be blamed for their greed and desire because I can’t find a sense of loyalty from their eyes. Such people should be killed sooner or later, or else, they might get me into trouble and I am not sure if they would not betray me in one day. What do you think, Third Elder? Should I do this to avoid any unnecessary trouble in the future?”

The Third City Lord said smilingly. Obviously, it was a phrase with a double meaning and he was talking to the Third Elder as well. The Third City Lord even killed his subordinates. But it seemed like he was thinking high of the Third Elder’s strength. Since the two were weak, it was not necessary for them to stay alive as they would betray him some day.

“You’re right, Third City Lord.”

The Third Elder said in a low voice. Previously, he had abandoned the instructors once in order to flee for his life as he was facing a desperate situation. However, the Third City Lord just took their lives without hesitation. Their intentions were completely different. Was there anyone who was trustworthy to the Third City Lord? The Third Elder knew well that he was merely a puppet for him.

The Elder could not help but try to stay on guard against the Third City Lord. The City Lord would most likely abandon him once he achieved his goal. So he did not wish to end up like Chi Hai Fei and Yang Xikuan. If he managed to escape from the Third City Lord at the critical moment, he would have a high chance of survival.

Qian Renji’s heart was racing rapidly. Chi Haifei and Yang Xikuan were her best friends as the three of them used to serve as instructors. However, they were killed by the Third City Lord in a blink of an eye. Qian Renji felt deeply grieved over their deaths. It also proved that the Profound Connection Divine Palace would never recognize anyone’s attributions. She was considered a burden to them even though she was a Mid-Hierarch.

In the face of countless treasures close at hand, the Third City Lord was full of killing intent. He would be able to sleep well and free from worry after killing all of them. And everything here would not be seized by outsiders. He was truly a treacherous and cold-blooded murderer.

“Are you going to kill all of us?”

Xue Liang was staring at the Third City Lord coldly.

“So what? I think you are no match to me. Or else, you can bet your life for another chance.”

The Third City Lord found out that Xue Liang was only irresistible when he was using the Heavenly Frost Sword. In fact, he was merely an Early Hierarch expert. Hence, it was almost impossible for Xue Liang to fight him, unless Xue Liang could pay the price by betting his precious life. In that case, not only his body, his strength would be utterly controlled by the Heavenly Frost Sword and eventually became the slave of the sword.

“No. Brother Bai……”

Bing Yun was holding Xue Liang’s hand tightly. She was afraid of losing him once again. She wished to leave the place immediately but she knew well that he would not give up easily.

“Get out of here, or go to hell!”

The Third City Lord stepped forward and soared into the sky. He was slightly afraid of Xue Liang and that was the reason he did not strike out immediately. If Xue Liang decided to fight to the death, the result might be different. Thus, making him retreat would be the best decision. If Xue Liang was determined to fight him, he would have to pay the price with his own life.

“And you, you will go with them too.”

The Third City Lord gave a cold smile. He struck out a deadly blow with his palm, the entire world underwent a huge change, and Qian Renji’s face turned ghostly pale with fright. It was impossible for her to resist this attack.

She had never thought of dying here. She was entirely devoted to the Profound Connection Divine Palace, but in exchange for her contribution, she was going to lose her precious life.

“Ninth Sword!”

Jiang Chen struck out with his sword and leaped up to the sky fearlessly. He stood in front of Qian Renji by casting the Great Void Technique. Even by exerting the Ninth Sword, Jiang Chen did not manage to completely resist the aggressive attack of the Third City Lord. Jiang Chen was forced to step backward. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dragon Sword had canceled out half of the strength of the attack so Jiang Chen was able to save Qian Renji from the jaws of death successfully at a very critical moment.

“Jiang Chen!”
