Chapter 213: A Plan Set in Motion
Jiang Chen continued to dodge, his movements precarious, like a man dancing on a tightrope at the edge of a cliff—one misstep would send him plummeting into the abyss.
Yet, despite the perilous situation, his mind remained sharp. Beneath the surface of his seemingly desperate struggle, Jiang Chen still had the presence of mind to observe Fang Yuan, strategizing his next move.
’The tactic of self-inflicting injuries to gain their trust is nearly perfect. It’s time to bring this to a close.’
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes as his thoughts sharpened into a plan.
’Next, I’ll push this trick to its limit, go all out, and eradicate the three-headed demonic python.’
’At the same time, I’ll ensure that Fang Yuan draws the attention of the Shadow Wind Obsidian Marten without arousing suspicion from Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.’@@@@
His cold smile widened as the intricate plan unfolded in his mind.
’Once that happens, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning will be forced to intervene, revealing themselves—and all of it will stem from Fang Yuan’s own stubbornness.’
The perfect trap was set, and the execution was near.
As the cold smile danced across his lips, Jiang Chen’s thoughts turned to the finishing blow. The ancient and powerful sword technique—Blood Sword Heaven Encompassing Forbidden Art—surfaced in his mind.
The Blood Sword Heaven Encompassing Forbidden Art was a power-boosting sword technique that demanded self-inflicted harm, a method filled with profound and arcane principles. Despite its complexity, it encompassed just one devastating move—Blood Sword Encompassing the Heavens.
Jiang Chen’s mind stirred with intensity as he mentally commanded the Wordless Heavenly Jade to begin its work. His thoughts raced, recalling the content of the forbidden technique at the fastest speed possible, his focus sharpening with each moment.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The three-headed demonic python continued its ferocious assault, unleashing thunderous roars filled with the terrifying power of the Poison Dao. Its enormous figure charged toward Jiang Chen with untamed fury.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan’s fists tightened. His heart, already fragile from the frustrations of the battle, suffered yet another vicious blow. ’Damn it!’
ROAR!
The newly formed, dark red-glowing python bellowed, its fury echoing across the battlefield. With a burst of terrifying speed, it lunged toward Jiang Chen, an unstoppable force driven by raw power and rage.
Jiang Chen knew the time had come for the final confrontation. Gripping the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword with both hands, he held it vertically in front of his chest. A low cry escaped his lips, "Blood Sword Encompassing the Heavens!"
In an instant, countless blood-red lines began to etch themselves across his body, resembling intricate sword wounds. These lines pulsed with power, their crimson glow merging with his skin as if drawing from the very depths of his life force.
As the blood-red lines materialized, Jiang Chen summoned every ounce of his mastery over the Sword Dao. With a swift and decisive motion, he raised the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword above his head, its edge gleaming with lethal intent.
Whoosh!
The blood-red strands on his body rapidly fused with the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, merging with his formidable Dao Origin Power. Together, they coalesced into a blood-red sword Qi, which shot forth with terrifying speed and precision.
In the next heartbeat, the enormous, terrifying head of the demonic python collided directly with Jiang Chen’s outstretched sword.
Stab—!
Boom!
The sound of flesh being pierced by the blade rang out, followed immediately by the violent echo of their impact. The ground quaked beneath the force of the clash, sending shockwaves through the battlefield.
Jiang Chen’s body was instantly flung backward, the sheer force of the python’s strike overwhelming him. Blood sprayed into the air as he was catapulted away.
Previously, Jiang Chen had deliberately positioned himself between Fang Yuan and the demonic python, crafting the illusion that he was shielding Fang Yuan from the beast’s attacks. As a result, his trajectory now sent him hurtling directly toward Fang Yuan’s location.
