Forbidden Zone, Spirit Level Beast
Jiang Chen stumbled and staggered, using all the remaining strength within his body to flee into the depths of the fourth level. At this moment, he no longer cared about the so-called forbidden zone, and no longer cared about the point of no return.
He could die, but definitely not in the hands of the Long siblings!
He could never accept the Long siblings displaying his head and going back to the capital to bluff and bluster in front of his father!
If he couldn’t control his birth, then he would at least control how his death came about!
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn’t tarry. His feet rushed forward with all their might. He didn’t know how long he’d walked either. He only knew that his body felt increasingly heavy, his mind increasingly dull, his pace increasingly scattered, and his consciousness increasingly foggy.
He fell down. He fell down with a body of blood and dirt.
After who knew how long, a vague trace of light seemed to shoot into the endless darkness of Jiang Chen’s consciousness.
He seemed to be awake, yet also seemed to be dreaming.
He dreamed that he seemed to have returned to his past life, returning to the glories of being the son of the Celestial Emperor, returning to the resignation of enduring millions of years of emptiness…
The dream landscape took another turn in the blink of an eye. He seemed to have returned to the capital and saw that large hordes of Soaring Dragon soldiers had rushed into the Jiang Han manor, hauling his father out all trussed up.
And then an executioner’s sword used for beheading people sentenced to death, swung high, chopping down towards his father’s head.
“No!” Jiang Chen felt a pain in his chest and abruptly opened his eyes.
“Awrk!”
A Goldwing Swordbird seemed to be startled and fluttered away with a flap of its wings, flying away from Jiang Chen’s side.
Jiang Chen lowered his head and discovered that his clothes had already been slit open by the sharp edge of the Goldwing Swordbird’s beak. It was a good thing that there was a layer of Skysilk Armor protecting his body.
Otherwise, that beak would have laid him open and disemboweled him just now.
“Goldwing Swordbird?” Jiang Chen was incredibly enfeebled. Whenever he circulated true qi through his meridians, he felt like his meridians would split open and that his body would completely fall apart into pieces..
Jiang Chen coughed lightly a few times, spitting out some trace liquids from his lungs. He felt that his breathing had become slightly easier.
Fishing out a Heavenly Karma Pill, he was about to put it in his mouth when his hand suddenly halted.
His eyes almost goggled out of his head.
The hairs on his body all involuntarily stood up as he looked around.
A thick crowd of Swordbirds were standing on every surface possible in all directions!
On the walls, on the grotesque rocks, on the marsh, the shrubs, the dirt…
As long as there was a place to stand, it was packed with Swordbirds!
The saying of “tens of thousands” is used for describing something numerous, but how could the number of Swordbirds in front of his eyes be numbering in the tens of thousands?
Jiang Chen swept his gaze around and couldn’t see the end. He only saw a mass of Swordbirds with keenly honed and neat feathers, glowing spirit pearls on their foreheads, and sharp beaks comparable to blades and swords.
“Have… Have I arrived in the base camp of the Swordbirds?”
Originally, one or two Swordbirds would pose no threat whatsoever, but the scene at hand was basically an ocean of Swordbirds!
Even if he was unharmed and in good shape, and even if his strength were to increase tenfold, he would probably still only suffer the downfall of being ripped into meat scraps in this ocean of Swordbirds, not to mention how he was covered with serious wounds right now!
You could kill one or two.
You could also kill ten or a hundred.
You wouldn’t be able to kill thousands or tens of thousands, but you could run.
Except, Swordbirds met the eye in every direction. They were present no matter where one walked or escaped. How would he escape? There wasn’t even the room to escape!
Besides, some Silverwing Swordbirds were scattered amongst these Swordbirds, and there were even around ten Goldwing Swordbirds!
One Goldwing Swordbird had the fighting strength of a true qi master!
Jiang Chen laughed wryly, it looked like even if he didn’t meet violent beasts within this fourth level, this incalculable ocean of Swordbirds would be able to drown him.
“What a pity, why didn’t the Long siblings take the risk and chase after me in here?” Jiang Chen didn’t even have any thoughts of escaping now. He only rued the fact that he couldn’t perish together with the Long siblings.
He threw the Heavenly Karma Pill into his mouth, simply deciding not to think so much.
