Chapter 3342

Danger was imminent. The tip of the sword that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere had already entered Jian Chen's head. Once it pierced his head completely, he would directly perish.

Right now, Jian Chen was truly in great danger. His life came down to this split second.

In the shadows, the Blood Slaughter Ruler had equipped the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, such that he was entirely hidden away in the space there. It was like he had left this world altogether. He did not give off any presence. He could not even be detected with the senses of the soul.

"Jian Chen, let's see how you survive this. In order to kill you in a single strike, so you have no opportunity to use your trump card, I've spent over a decade preparing…"

"As long as you're dead, Jade Heaven and Heaven Fighting won't be able to stop me anymore. They couldn't even back then and they can't even more now." The Blood Slaughter Ruler rejoiced inside. In particular, when his sword entered Jian Chen's forehead, his entire body loosened as his lips curled into a victorious smile. Clearly, victory was already within his grasp.

After over a decade of preparation, he had finally achieved what he wanted. Under the cover of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, he killed Jian Chen by surprise in a single strike!

The Blood Slaughter Ruler's sword immediately thrust through Jian Chen's skull, piercing his entire head. The sharp, bloody tip directly emerged from the back of his head.

However, the Blood Slaughter Ruler's face suddenly hardened. All of his excitement and joy immediately vanished.

"Oh no, it's an afterimage!"

He was alarmed, his heart immediately sinking. Without any hesitation, he immediately tried to flee.

If his attack failed, he would escape immediately. That was his plan.

That was because even though his strength had increased drastically, he still did not dare to face Jian Chen's Profound Sword Qi.

But at this moment, the space underground shook violently. The space immediately cracked open, covered with hairline fractures. A powerful spatial storm began to rampage, disturbing all of the space there.

In the next moment, there was a grunt from the space there and the Blood Slaughter Ruler was forced out. The Divine Armour of Heavenflight he had equipped covered every inch of his body, only revealing a pair of eyes.

At this moment, the Divine Armour of Heavenflight shone dimly. It was extremely feeble, and the Blood Slaughter Ruler inside it had a smear of exhaustion in his eyes too.

The Divine Armour of Heavenflight was a high quality god artifact, normally used by Grand Primes. With the Blood Slaughter Ruler's current cultivation, wielding it was obviously extremely strenuous.

In just the short moment he spent here, the Divine Armour of Heavenflight had already depleted seventy percent of his energy.

"Dammit. I actually failed to kill you." The Blood Slaughter Ruler felt great pity. With reluctance, he turned around to leave. He immediately vanished.

At the same time, he swallowed several recovery God Tier pills.

He had depleted far too much of his energy, so he no longer had the strength to use the Divine Armour of Heavenflight anymore. All he could do was flee while exposed.

Jian Chen appeared from the underground space. His face was sunken and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

The injury on his forehead had already closed up, but there were still traces of blood there.

"Blood Slaughter Ruler, aren't you a little too naive if you think you can escape from me?" As he said that, a powerful sword intent immediately appeared. A streak of light shot out from Jian Chen's hand, thrusting straight into the space before him.

As soon as the streak of light emerged, it seemed to merge into the space there, vanishing silently.

At the same time, the space before the Blood Slaughter Ruler who had already fled tens of million kilometres away rippled; the streak of light appeared there, thrusting towards him.

The Blood Slaughter Ruler's expression changed slightly. He immediately slashed out with his sword with a great pulse of energy, colliding with the streak of light.

Boom!

A tremendous rumble erupted in the sky and the Blood Slaughter Ruler halted. He continued to wolf down God Tier pills sternly.

The streak of light condensed by Jian Chen dispersed before him. Given his current state, there was clearly still some disparity in strength compared to the Blood Slaughter Ruler.

However, as soon as the streak of light dispersed, Jian Chen used the Laws of Space to cross several tens of million kilometres. He appeared before the Blood Slaughter Ruler.

"The Third Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime. I didn't expect you to overcome a minor bottleneck in the past decade and reach greater heights than before," Jian Chen said nonchalantly. His eyes were filled with indifference.

However, when the Blood Slaughter Ruler saw Jian Chen's attitude, his heart sank. He had indeed suddenly comprehended something while refining the high quality god artifact, breaking through to the Third Heavenly Layer.

In the current Wood Spirits World, he had already left the Jade Heaven Ruler far behind in the dust with his cultivation as a Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.

After reaching the Third Heavenly Layer, the Blood Slaughter Ruler became confident and certain that even if the Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler worked together, he could slaughter them both.

However, even with such great battle prowess, he struggled to strike any fear into Jian Chen's heart, which made the Blood Slaughter Ruler realise something terrible was amiss.

"His trump card can kill experts of the Third Heavenly Layer?" The Blood Slaughter Ruler immediately realised where Jian Chen's confidence came from. He recalled how Jian Chen killed the Demonic Dragon Ruler with the Profound Sword Qi, which immediately made his heart tighten.

Without any hesitation and without any regard for the exhaustion of his energy, he powered the Divine Armour of Heavenflight again and immediately hid himself in the space there, wanting to flee through the abilities of the armour.

He did not choose to continue making an attempt on Jian Chen's life. Even when Jian Chen was completely unaware, his assassination attempt had failed, so now that he was prepared, his chances at success were even slimmer.

Jian Chen snorted coldly. Seated in the air, he pressed down gently with his hand.

With that, all the space within a million kilometres of him shattered like a mirror. The entire world sank into darkness.

He used the Laws of Space to obliterate the space in this region before letting countless spatial blades wreak havoc, attacking everything indiscriminately.

In the next moment, Jian Chen sensed something. He extended a finger and a spatial ripple shot into the distance. It seemed to collide against something solid, producing a heavy explosion.

The Blood Slaughter Ruler was forced out once again. Even though he was uninjured, the concealing techniques of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight were clearly useless before Jian Chen who was skilled in the Laws of Space.

The Blood Slaughter Ruler's face was extremely sunken. He understood that the reason why he could not remain invisible was not because the Divine Armour of Heavenflight was not good enough, but because it was already damaged. Its artifact spirit had dispersed, and it was nowhere near as powerful as it once was.

The other important reason was he could not unleash the true power of the Divine Armour of Heavenflight given his current strength.

The Blood Slaughter Ruler did not try to engage Jian Chen. He unleashed his speed as a Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime and fled into the distance.

During this time, he remained completely focused, raising his guard to the limit, afraid that Jian Chen would use the Profound Sword Qi.

"Blood Slaughter Ruler, looks like you'll turn into a menace sooner or later if I don't kill you today!" Jian Chen appeared before the Blood Slaughter Ruler again. When his Laws of Space were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime, his speed was on par with Grand Primes.

His cultivation had plummeted and he had yet to recover his strength, but he was still faster than the Blood Slaughter Ruler.

The Blood Slaughter Ruler's heart sank when he saw Jian Chen suddenly appear before him. He too had realised that it was impossible for him to outrun Jian Chen who was familiar with the Laws of Space given his speed.

"Jian Chen, are you really bold enough to use your trump card? Once you use it, you're dead. You'll be torn to shreds by Heaven Fighting and Jade Heaven." The Blood Slaughter Ruler gave up on fleeing. He stared coldly at Jian Chen, remaining on guard.

He did not dare to launch an attack either. He knew he could not kill Jian Chen instantly, but Jian Chen definitely could unleash his trump card instantly.

As a result, he only attempted to convince Jian Chen through words, wanting to make him reconsider the consequences involved.

Jian Chen smiled eerily. In the next moment, sword intent rushed out and a strand of Profound Sword Qi silently appeared over his head.

As soon as the Profound Sword Qi appeared, the Blood Slaughter Ruler's face immediately changed drastically. With a wave of his hand, over a dozen defensive medium quality god artifacts appeared out of thin air, wrapping around him like a fortress.

Even though he had broken through to the Third Heavenly Layer, the Blood Slaughter Ruler was still extremely fearful of the Profound Sword Qi.

Swish!

Suddenly, the Profound Sword Qi shot out as a dazzling streak of light. It moved extremely quickly, crossing the distance and directly flying towards the Blood Slaughter Ruler.

This time, Jian Chen chose to strike without any hesitation.

"Apologies, senior Feng. If this person remains alive, I'll be faced with endless troubles." Jian Chen sighed inside.
