Dragon-Marked War God - Chapter 893

Chapter 893

A Conclusion

Jiang Chen became the center of attention . The attention was created because his emergence had provoked their anger . It was a great provocation to all the young men of Gu Family to see the two of them being in love in public . Of course, that was just their emotion . They were smart enough to know their own limitations and were definitely not qualified to compete with Jiang Chen .  

However, that didn’t mean that Gu Liufeng wasn’t qualified to battle against him . Today was the family meeting and Gu Liufeng couldn’t stay silent anymore . However, Jiang Chen was the man who had killed Shi Han, so Gu Liufeng wouldn’t have a high chance of defeating him .

Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu had turned a deaf ear to these comments .  

*Dong* *Dong* *Dong*

The rhythm of the drum became rapid . Over twenty silhouettes suddenly emerged on a tall platform ahead . The atmosphere turned silent the moment they appeared and as a light majestic aura was drifting in the air . Each and everyone in Gu Family was looking at the tall platform with respect .

The people on the platform were high ranked seniors . The weakest among them was a First Grade Great Saint . The Qi that was released from these Great Saints created a shapeless pressure that suffocated the people below .

Gu Family was one of the eight large families . Naturally, these weren’t the only Great Saints the family had . As this was a mere family meeting, it didn’t require all of the Great Saints to be present .

The one that stood at the very front was Gu Xuantian . His face looked majestic . He was the supreme person in Gu Family . He was like a god to the people of Gu Family, but the attention of many were shifted to the lady in white standing beside Gu Xuantian .

“Look! That’s Elder Gu Lan . She had been imprisoned for twelve years . I never thought that she will appear today . ”

“Elder Gu Lan is really pretty . It seems that the conflict between her and Patriarch has been resolved . ”

“This is great . I heard that not only does Elder Gu Lan look like a celestial beauty, she is also gifted with innate talents . I have to admit that these facts are true seeing her now . ”

…… . .

Gu Lan’s appearance caused a commotion from the crowd . There were many young people who hadn’t seen Gu Lan before . In the year that Gu Lan left Gu Family, she had been living in Southern Continent until she was brought back and imprisoned for twelve years . So it was natural that not many people recognized her .

However, it didn’t mean they hadn’t heard about her before . In Gu Family, there was no one who didn’t know about Gu Lan and her life, but due to the fact that discussing Gu Lan’s story was considered a highly sensitive thing, no one dared to talk about it .  

It seemed the matters had finally come to a conclusion since Wu Ningzhu and Gu Lan are both present today .

“Patriarch, nearly all of them are here . We can start now . ”

An elder said .

“En, let’s start . ”

Gu Xuantian nodded .

The moment Gu Xuantian nodded, a silhouette landed on a battle platform in a flash . He looked to be roughly twenty five years old . He had an aura of grace and elegance and also a handsome face . He was wearing purple clothes, and his body was filled with a domineering aura . His eyes locked on Jiang Chen the moment he arrived .

“It’s Gu Liufeng!”

“He finally appeared . Let’s see what he will do . ”

That person was Gu Liufeng . His arrival made the surrounding atmosphere slightly heavier .

Gu Liufeng stared at Jiang Chen and shouted, “Jiang Chen, I know the purpose of you coming here . But you have to be capable enough to marry Ningzhu . I, Gu Liufeng is declaring a direct challenge to you . As long as you can defeat me, I will withdraw myself from the marriage . ”

“Liufeng . ”

Gu Xuantian frowned .

“Patriarch, the conflict is between the two of us . Let us resolve it ourselves . ”

Gu Liufeng held his fists at Gu Xuantian .

Gu Liufeng was a very smart person . His words had given Gu Xuantian a solid excuse to save face . Both him and Jiang Chen would settle the conflict between them themselves . If he lost the battle, he would admit his defeat . So, it was his own decision to withdraw from the marriage if he was defeated . It wouldn’t create any negative impact to Gu Xuantian’s reputation . More importantly, it was vitally important for one to settle his own problems, otherwise, the person would be looked down upon .

Gu Xuantian nodded slightly . He was relieved that he didn’t pick the wrong genius . He was relieved that Gu Liufeng didn’t let him down .

*Swoosh*

Without saying any word, Jiang Chen leaped onto the battle platform, standing at the opposite side of Gu Liufeng .

“Gu Liufeng, you are considered a hero here but don’t feel aggrieved and don’t think I have affected you and Wu Ningzhu because of my arrival here . I suppose you have heard about our engagement before this . She doesn’t have you in her heart . Of course, I agree to what you said . Only the strongest is eligible to marry Sister Ning, as such I accept your challenge . I have promised Sister Ning that I will defeat everyone for her . ”

Jiang Chen said in a flat tone . He had to admit Gu Liufeng’s laudable spirit . He stood out even though he knew that Jiang Chen had killed Shi Han . Firstly, he was doing this because he wanted to try his best . Secondly, he wanted to provide an excuse for Gu Xuantian . If he refused to solve the problem with Jiang Chen today, Gu Xuantian would be put in a very difficult position because it was Gu Xuantian who announced the marriage of Wu Ningzhu and Gu Liufeng .

As the saying goes, what is said carries weight . The status of the patriarch in Gu Family was more noble than those common emperors .

“Jiang Chen, I know that you have killed Shi Han but I have gained tremendous benefits from the recent tough trial, which had significantly improved my cultivation grade . Initially I was thinking to find Shi Han and Kong Yang to test my strength . But since you have killed Shi Han, I would like to see how powerful the killer of Shi Han is . ”

Gu Liufeng Qi fluctuated . His facial expression was fearless . He was certainly a man whose hobby was fighting .

“It’s a pity that you are still not my opponent . ”

Jiang Chen shook his head .

“I know that it is impossible to kill Shi Han with my current strength but the battle between you and me is unavoidable and I won’t back away . ”

Gu Liufeng replied . His Qi erupted like a volcano . His hand pressed forth, sucking a portion of the void ahead . Then, a large hand materialized and turned into a cloud on one side of the sky, which then came crashing down on Jiang Chen .

*Bang*

Jiang Chen didn’t slow his reaction . He transformed into a human-dragon . In order to defeat a monstrous genius like Gu Liufeng, he would need the dragon transformation to take him down . This had been obvious during the time when battling Shi Han .

*Hong Long*

It was the True Dragon Palm . A large dragon claw collided with the giant cloud, creating deafening rumbles . Gu Liufeng’s attack was pulverized . Thanks to the powerful seal formation that was set on the battle platform, the platform was not destroyed, otherwise, the impact would pulvurize it and other structures .

Gu Liufeng was shaken and started to stagger backwards . His face dropped with shock immediately . Although he had anticipated it, he didn’t know Jiang Chen was this powerful .

“What? He is so powerful?!”

“Exceedingly powerful . No wonder he was able to kill Shi Han . But, Brother Liufeng is ranked fourth on the Sky Ranking, he is a half-step Great Saint . I can’t believe that, given his current cultivation grade, he can’t even stand a single attack from a Seventh Grade Minor Saint . ”

“This is terrifying . That man is truly a monster . Do you all realize that Jiang Chen’s combat strength has improved by many times after he transformed? Brother Liufeng has acquired great benefits from his recent trial . His current strength is enough to deal with Shi Han and Kong Yan but it is no match to Jiang Chen’s strength . ”

…… . .

Everyone was astonished . Not only the young generations, but Gu Xuantian, Gu Lan and the higher ups of Gu Family also were flabbergasted . As a matter of fact, hearing and witnessing the battle were two entirely different experience . They didn’t see how Jiang Chen managed to kill Shi Han, but they knew Gu Liufeng was an outstanding genius . Now, this outstanding genius had lost in the first round of the battle .

“Gu Liufeng . You are strong, but you aren’t as strong as Shi Han . But I know that you will be reluctant if I ask you to admit defeat . So, I will convince you that you are at the jaws of defeat . ”

The bones in Jiang Chen’s body created cracking sounds . Every part of his body was pumped with busting energy that roared continuously . Dharma seals were condensing around Jiang Chen’s body before it turned into real dragons . Every dragon illuminated five different lights, as if real dragons had descended from the heavens .

He struck out the Five Elemental Combat Dragon Seal . Five different seals were launched at the same time . Fifteen dragons with different attributes formed a circle that surrounded Gu Liufeng .

It was no doubt that Gu Liufeng was powerful but he was still weaker than Shi Han . Jiang Chen needed a lot more effort to kill Shi Han but his strike was enough to take Gu Liufeng down as his purpose was to defeat him, not to kill him .

“Big Brother, Jiang Chen’s combat technique is really powerful . Did you notice that his attack consists of five different elements? I have to admit that it is truly a scary technique . ”

“That’s right . The five elements should be repelling each other but Jiang Chen is able to integrate them perfectly into his technique . It’s extremely rare . I never imagined that there is such unbelievable techniques in the world . ”

Gu Lan and Gu Xuantian were truly shaken . Even with their knowledge and experience, they had never seen such a technique before .

“This kid is super scary . His future is inestimable . ”

“Too powerful in my opinion! Even though I am a First Grade Great Saint, I will probably be dead if I receive this attack . ”

“It seems Liufeng is going to lose the battle . It is clear that it wasn’t a fluke that Jiang Chen killed Shi Han . It was his true ability . His combat strength really frightens me . ”

…… . .

No one was able to calm themselves . The outcome of the battle was already decided . Jiang Chen didn’t try to play tricks on Gu Liufeng . He had struck out his most powerful attack to defeat Gu Liufeng . This indicated a form of respect towards Gu Liufeng .

On the battle platform, even if Gu Liufeng exhausted all his skills and techniques, he wouldn’t be able to withstand Jiang Chen’s Five Elemental Combat Dragon Seal . When all the violent combat waves faded and dissipated, Gu Liufeng became visible again . Currently, he looked fazed . Blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth . His Qi had gone unstable . It was obvious, that Gu Liufeng had received severe backlash from the attack just now .

“I lost . ”

Gu Liufeng revealed a wry smile . Although he still had some strength left, the previous impact had told him everything . Any further, the battle would be pointless as he was no match for Jiang Chen . In other words, if this was a life-and-death battle, Jiang Chen would have killed him .

Jiang Chen kept his dragon transformation and jumped down from the battle platform, and came to Wu Ningzhu’s side . Her current facial expression was full of joy . She still remembered that Jiang Chen would defeat all men for her . And Jiang Chen had never lost before .

“Patriarch, Liufeng has fully accepted his defeat . Brother Jiang is truly a rare genius who only appears once every thousand years . It won’t be a humiliation to marry Ningzhu to him . ”

Gu Liufeng held his fists to Gu Xuantian and said . As a matter of fact, he had already known the intimacy between Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu but he refused to accept it . However, today’s battle with Jiang Chen had finally made him convinced . He was like Gu Xuantian, a man of conscience . There was nothing to be said when he lost the battle . Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had Gu Liufeng’s respect for fighting with his true strength .

At this time, Gu Mu stood up from the group . He took out the betrothal gifts and passed it to Gu Xuantian and Gu Lan .

“Patriarch, Elder Gu Lan, these are the betrothal gifts from Jiang Chen, 1 . 5 billion high grade True Meta Stones, 3 Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pills and 10 bottles of Nine Solar Saint Water . ”

Gu Mu was shrewd at picking the right timing . He announced all the items of betrothal gifts right after Gu Liufeng admitted defeat, causing a commotion from the crowd below . It was a different feeling when they saw these items with their own eyes . Many of them started to look at Jiang Chen in an ablazed gaze, agreeing that Jiang Chen was absolutely rich .

“Xiao Lan, what do you think?”

Gu Xuantian looked over at Gu Lan .

“I’m fine with him . ”

Gu Lan was very satisfied with her son-in-law .

“Alright . Jiang Chen . In this trip to propose marriage, you have faced numerous tests but you overcame them with sincerity . Given your talent, it is our honor to accept you as the son-in-law of Gu Family . I am now using the authority of patriarch to permit your proposal of marriage with Wu Ningzhu . ”

Gu Xuantian kept all the betrothal gifts and said . This matter had finally come to a conclusion . As for Gu Liufeng, he was fully convinced after his defeat . Gu Xuantian wouldn’t need to worry about his feelings anymore . If the person he selected couldn’t even deal with this defeat, it meant he had selected the wrong one .

“Thank you, Patriarch . ”

Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu said at the same time . Jiang Chen’s expression seemed ordinary but Wu Ningzhu’s facial expression was filled with intense joy that couldn’t be concealed .

Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart as the matter of Gu Family had finally come to an end .
