It wasn't just Yang Bufan, Yang Yu and the Old Emperor who had also seen through Jiang Chen's tremendous improvement in his cultivation base, many other Immortal Venerable realm beings could see it too. The current cultivation base that Jiang Chen had, without a doubt, gave the Great Qin Empire a boost in confidence. Although Nanbei Chao was at the First Grade Great Sovereign realm, people like Jiang Chen could never be estimated by cultivation level. He would be able to go toe-to-toe with Nanbei Chao even if he was only a peak Immortal Venerable.
“Jiang Chen, you have finally appeared.”
Nanbei Chao gazed at Jiang Chen, and immediately released his violent battle intent.
When Jiang Chen's gaze fell upon those cages, the anger in his eyes couldn't be masked, especially when he saw that Yan Chenyu was hurt.
“Nanbei Chao, you have caused harm on the people that shouldn't be harmed, and Nanbei Family shall pay heavily for all the harm inflicted on Great Qin Empire. From today onwards, you and Nanbei Family shall no longer exist.”
Jiang Chen said loudly with a domineering qi overflowing within his body.
“Jiang Chen, I like your arrogance. It's time to put an end to our feud today. However, it's a pity that the one to die in the end would not be me, but you. I, Nanbei Chao, am undefeated!”
Nanbei Chao said with his golden hair standing erect, as if they were sharp blades piercing into the void.
“The ultimate battle of life and death.”
Jiang Chen's body flashed and appeared above the clouds. He transformed into his dragon-form and opened up a battle arena.
“Very well.”
Nanbei Chao's body flashed and arrived at the arena. He stood at the opposite end of Jiang Chen. His expression was filled with thick, violent, dominating qi.
After so many years, this pair of arch nemesis finally stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal World for a true, final showdown.
This time, it'll be a true deathmatch. After today, only one would remain between Jiang Chen and Nanbei Chao in the Immortal World.
They both had the same thought, and it was also their goal. They did not have a shred of fear and did not cower, regardless of anything, even if they shall die at the hands of their opponent.
“Jiang Chen, your growth indeed surprised me. It's a pity and insufficient for you to fight me with your Immortal Venerable cultivation base, however. My technique is not something you can imagine. One of my wishes shall be fulfilled once I've killed you today.”
Nanbei Chao arrogantly said, it was by no means belittling Jiang Chen. That inborn arrogance of his was what formed his supreme dominance.
On the contrary, Jiang Chen had long become an existence that Nanbei Chao most cared about. In his mind, Jiang Chen's presence had even surpa.s.sed Empress Nine Yin . Otherwise, Nanbei Chao wouldn't have personally delivered Jiang Chen the challenge and waited here for three days.
Within the entire Immortal World, perhaps the only person whom Nanbei Chao would treat with great importance was Jiang Chen.
“Nanbei Chao, I'm sick of the words you're uttering, I've already heard enough of it for too long. Why don't we let our fists do the talking?”
Jiang Chen didn't want to waste anymore time. He had enough of Nanbei Chao's c.r.a.p. There wasn't a need for such rubbishness between him and Nanbei Chao, because it did not hold any significance.
*Roar*
Jiang Chen moved, and a dragon roar shook the skies. The True Dragon Palm lunged towards Nanbei Chao as if it were a sky-piercing blood barrier.
Nanbei Chao's eyes clearly had a slight change after he felt Jiang Chen's strength coming from the attack. It was because the strength that Jiang Chen had erupted was not tally with his cultivation base. In fact, Jiang Chen was just a late Immortal Venerable but was able to display a tremendous power which was strong enough to rival his own. It was something that more or less landed a blow on his pride.
Nanbei Chao was not a fool. He was clear that it was impossible for a late Immortal Venerable to possess such a terrifying strength. Solely from this perspective, he felt that he was inferior to Jiang Chen.
The feeling of being inferior to another caused Nanbei Chao to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Facing such a situation, there was only one thing that Nanbei Chao must do, and that was to use his strongest technique to destroy his opponent, causing the opponent to die in the most tragic way possible. Only then could he completely defend his dignity.
*Boom*
Nanbei Chao also acted. A golden scarlet fist akin to a mountain clashed against Jiang Chen's blood-red dragon claw. In an instant, the violent clash of energy had caused the void to be utterly shredded.
Such rampage… Even though an arena was opened above the sky, the pressure produced from the clash between the two had caused the audience to feel extremely uncomfortable.
*Rumble*
With just the previous collision, Jiang Chen had instantaneously displayed the Five Elemental Dragon Seal, whereas Nanbei Chao performed the Wisdom King Fist. Both of them were on a par with each other, and the battle was fierce as soon as they confronted each other..
Nanbei Chao had just attained the Great Sovereign realm, and his techniques were powerful. Whereas Jiang Chen, who was at the peak of late Immortal Venerable realm, had the strength to go toe-to-toe with Nanbei Chao, using his dragon form and the True Dragon Battle skill, accompanied by the help of the Great Void Technique and Great Heaven Derivation Technique. At least from this aspect, they were going neck-to-neck against each other.
With Jiang Chen's current strength, he could easily kill an average First Grade Great Sovereign with ease. Nanbei Chao was far from average, however.
The expression of the audience below became pale. A violent battle like this was one they had never once witnessed. Each and everyone one of them was on edge, and they couldn't keep their eyes off the battle. People of the Great Qin Empire and the Nanbei Family had their utmost concentration stuck on the battle, as they couldn't ignore it; everyone knew that their life and death depended on the conclusion of this battle. If Jiang Chen lost, then the Great Qin Empire shall face annihilation, whereas if Nanbei Chao lost, then Nanbei Family would face a bitter end.
“Patriarch, Jiang Chen really came. This fellow is truly a monster, gaining such ma.s.sive improvement each time he appears. It is truly rare to find a late Immortal Venerable realm expert going toe-to-toe with Young Master Chao.”
An elder of the Nanbei Family couldn't help but sigh while he looked at the fierce battle being unfolded above the skies. Even though he was reluctant, he had to acknowledge Jiang Chen's strength. Hypothetically, Nanbei Chao would not hold a candle against Jiang Chen, if Jiang Chen's cultivation base was on a par with Nanbei Chao.
“It doesn't matter. Young Master Chao's techniques are not something that you and me could understand. He still has yet to use the Monarch Sword. Jiang Chen will die today without a doubt… This is an undeniable fact. We just need to wait and see.”
Nanbei Taisheng said with utter confidence. Nanbei Family also had the same blind confidence towards Nanbei Chao. The reincarnated body of Great Sovereign Batian gave them an extreme sense of confidence.
As for the Great Qian Empire, they were feeling extremely excited when they saw Jiang Chen going toe-to-toe with Nanbei Chao.
“It's truly astonis.h.i.+ng, Young Master Jiang Chen has become even more terrifying. To be able to go against a Great Sovereign while just at the late Immortal Venerable realm. He is the most heaven defying genius that I've ever seen.”
“Of course, I have already said that. We will be safe, as long as Jiang Chen is here.”
Despite their confidence, many of the people of the Great Qin Empire were still filled with anxiety. After all, the opponent of Jiang Chen was not a normal joe. That is the reincarnation of Great Sovereign Batian, and it is certainly not easy to be defeated. They might be on a par with each other at the moment, the result of the battle is still uncertain. A person like Nanbei Chao should possess a lot of trump cards. The battle has just begun, and he has yet to exhibit those cards.
