Chapter 51 Slaying the Black Wolf
Chapter 51 Slaying the Black Wolf
While Sun Yunhai and Gao Ling were plotting, Jiang Chen, who had slept all night, decided to enter the dream again.
-----------------
[First day of entering the dream]
Following the same process of teasing the black wolf in his dream last time, Jiang Chen went to the pill shop of the Hundred Arts Alliance again, only to be recruited by Yan Feng once more.
[The second day of the dream]
Early that morning, Yan Feng arrived with Black Wolf for a visit. Jiang Chen led Black Wolf inside and sat down, then immediately laid out his true intentions.
Black Wolf still maintained a facade of willingness to negotiate, before suddenly making his move.
He transformed into a blood-red phantom and swiftly attacked Jiang Chen.
Thump~~
Black Wolf's punch aimed straight for Jiang Chen's chest, but then it seemed to have hit a wall. Even though he was much more skilled than Wild Bull, he was forced back five or six steps by the rebound from the defensive barrier.
He looked at the two layers of defensive barriers on Jiang Chen's body, one golden and one earthy yellow, and his face was so gloomy it could drip water.
Just then, Jiang Chen had already infused the array token hidden in his sleeve with his magic power.
In just a few breaths, all five formations in the courtyard had been activated.
The entire courtyard was covered by two layers of defensive barriers, and several golden sword shadows condensed around the black wolf.
"Senior Black Wolf, are you satisfied with the protective treasures I possess?"
Black Wolf released his divine sense to investigate the array in the courtyard, and a smile appeared on his ashen face.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, with your current abilities, you are qualified to negotiate with me."
Jiang Chen shook his head: "Only now do I have the right to negotiate with you, right?"
"Once the energy of my two defensive barriers is depleted, you will have the opportunity to kill me. At that time, you will not hesitate to strike."
"Unfortunately, you're the one who's not in a position to negotiate with me right now."
Before he finished speaking, several golden sword phantoms fell simultaneously.
Black Wolf was exceptionally skilled and quickly dodged. He avoided most of the golden sword phantoms, but one golden sword phantom grazed his arm.
Sizzle~~
A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out as the golden armor phantom tore through the black wolf's silk robe, revealing the gleaming chainmail underneath.
Beneath the chainmail, there appears to be another layer of soft armor.
Black Wolf smiled and said, "I've lived for over eighty years and eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You're no match for my cunning."
"It's just a mid-grade second-level defensive magic weapon, right? Just break it."
Having said that, he took out the short knife again and lunged forward once more.
Jiang Chen immediately summoned the Golden Sword Talisman, and several golden armor phantoms struck out, but the black wolf neither dodged nor evaded.
ding~~
The golden sword talisman struck him, producing a series of crisp metallic clangs, but failed to harm him in the slightest.
The black wolf was shrouded in blood mist, like a blood-red eagle, circling around Jiang Chen and constantly launching attacks.
Jiang Chen's mind raced: "This black wolf's strength is indeed unfathomable. In addition, with a second-grade magic weapon in hand, ordinary methods simply cannot defeat him."
Originally, I wanted to test the limits of my strength and didn't want to use the Thousand-Blade Golden Armor, but now it seems I have no choice but to.
Thinking of this, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and the Thousand Blades Golden Armor Talisman appeared in his hand.
Knowing that he needed to deal with the Black Wolf, he had already nurtured the talisman with his magic power beforehand.
At this moment, divine sense was injected into it, and the talisman was instantly activated.
Ten thousand golden rays burst forth from the talisman, and in an instant, they formed a golden armor that enveloped Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen himself was quite burly, and now, wearing golden armor, he looked rather majestic, truly like a golden-armored celestial god.
Seeing this, Black Wolf gasped, his eyes filled with fear, yet also with a hint of determination.
"So what if it's a talisman? It's just a defensive talisman. I'd like to see whether my mana runs out first or your talisman breaks first."
After saying that, a dark red mist surged from his body again, and the original blood shadow turned dark red.
A wisp of black mist appeared on the short sword in his hand.
Then, he lunged forward again and slashed at Jiang Chen.
ding~~
The short sword struck the golden armor with a crisp sound.
Then, a golden sword beam shot out from where the golden armor had been struck.
Black Wolf was also an experienced fighter; as soon as he saw the sword light flash, he immediately dodged. The sword light grazed his shoulder, severing several of the clasps of his chainmail.
At this moment, Jiang Chen tried to control the golden sword light. However, the sword light was too fast; the moment he released his divine sense, it had already flown far away.
They could only watch helplessly as the golden light struck the wall, creating a large hole in it. Even the defensive array's barrier was shaken to the point of collapse by this sword beam.
Seeing this, Black Wolf's face was full of smiles: "This talisman is indeed remarkable, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities. However, your cultivation level is too low, making it impossible for you to control it. Today, you deserve to die by my blade."
After saying that, he lunged forward again and attacked Jiang Chen.
This time, having learned from experience, he immediately dodged away when his short sword touched the golden armor.
The sword light reappeared, but it didn't touch him.
Jiang Chen remained calm and unhurried. After all, this was a dream simulation of the future, and the purpose was to practice using the Thousand-Blade Golden Armor.
He had a plan in mind: "This sword light flies too fast. Not to mention Qi Refining cultivators, even Foundation Establishment cultivators would probably have a hard time controlling it."
Therefore, controlling the sword's aura is not about directly guiding it with divine sense; it must be done through the Thousand-Blade Golden Armor itself.
Thinking of this, he immediately immersed his mind in the golden armor with its myriad blades.
Sure enough, through the Thousand Blades Golden Armor, he could clearly sense the direction of every wisp of sword light.
He then poured a large amount of his divine sense into the illusory image of the Golden Armor of Ten Thousand Blades, and through the image, forcibly controlled the sword light.
As he pondered, a wisp of sword light that was originally heading towards the door suddenly turned and attacked the black wolf. At the same time, the divine sense he had infused into the Thousand Blades Golden Armor was rapidly depleted.
This startled Black Wolf, who quickly dodged and weaved, but was still struck in the leg by the sword light.
His legs were unprotected by soft armor, so blood was drawn directly from them, and a trace of sword energy seeped into his body.
Black Wolf's movements slowed down due to his leg injury. Seeing that Jiang Chen could control the sword light and that he himself was injured, he considered retreating.
However, the formation was still intact at this time, so they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
"It seems my only chance of escaping is to use the power of the sword's edge to break through the formation."
Thinking of this, he attacked Jiang Chen again. His short sword slashed through the armor of ten thousand blades, creating another burst of sword light.
Having already gained experience, the black wolf immediately dodged after unleashing its sword light.
Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and quickly manipulated the sword light. This time, he didn't forcibly reverse the direction of the sword light, but instead allowed it to deflect slightly.
Pfft~~
Black Wolf could have dodged the sword light, but under Jiang Chen's control, the sword light deflected and attacked Black Wolf.
At this moment, Black Wolf was dodging and weaving when, unexpectedly, the sword light caught up with him and pierced his chest.
puff~~
After a soft sound, countless wisps of blood gushed from his chest.
He then collapsed to the ground, lifeless, and soon fell silent.
Jiang Chen looked at his back and saw no trace of the sword light passing through.
Clearly, after the sword light pierced the flesh, it did not pass through the chest, but instead spread out directly in the black wolf's chest cavity, turning into countless sword energies.
In other words, the black wolf's internal organs were forced to endure a sword strike.
Let alone Qi Refining cultivators, even Foundation Establishment cultivators in the early stages would face certain death.
