Chapter 93

This is an extremely dangerous moment. If Han Yan had only inherited a bit of the Ancient Heavenly Demon's power, Jiang Chen would not have been so agitated. In that case, Han Yan could directly awaken the power to break through to the Heavenly Pill Realm and then take down Li Wushuang in one fell swoop.

However, Han Yan possesses the primordial mark of the Ancient Heavenly Demon, meaning he has inherited the most complete Ancient Heavenly Demon bloodline. In his current state, he cannot control the power of the awakened Ancient Heavenly Demon. If he were to use this sudden surge of power to kill Li Wushuang, he would suffer from the demonic nature's backlash, and even if he survived, he would be crippled.

Roar~

Han Yan let out a long howl to the sky, and powerful demonic energy burst forth from his body. His aura rose in waves, and his body grew taller bit by bit. His bones made cracking sounds as they changed.

At the same time, a breath of the Ancient Heavenly Demon spread, making people's hearts race. Each of his roars could make people feel as if they were falling into an abyss.

"Heavens, how can the power of the Ancient Heavenly Demon be so strong? This power has already reached the Heavenly Pill Realm. Li Wushuang is in danger."

"The title of Little Demon King is not given lightly."

Everyone was shocked, all of them stunned by Han Yan. It was too terrifying, as if an ancient demonic spirit had suddenly descended.

On the battle platform, the originally arrogant Li Wushuang's face suddenly turned grim. He never expected Han Yan to undergo such a change at this critical moment.

Han Yan went completely berserk, stunning the entire crowd.

"Trouble, something is wrong with Junior Brother Han."

Guan Yiyun's face also changed. The sudden surge of power from Han Yan did not make him happy but rather worried. Although he did not see as clearly as Jiang Chen, he could sense the danger Han Yan was in.

The outcome of the battle was not important; if it cost him his future or even his life, it would be too great a price to pay.

Roar~

Han Yan's demonic nature grew more intense, almost uncontrollable.

"Stop!"

Guan Yiyun and Liang Xiao shouted simultaneously. This was the first time a battle in the Qi Prefecture Grand Competition had been interrupted. Guan Yiyun was concerned for Han Yan, while Liang Xiao was concerned for Li Wushuang. Everyone understood the situation: Han Yan's power had surged to the Heavenly Pill Realm, and he could easily kill Li Wushuang, but after doing so, he would not be in good shape.

"It's too late; we must stop him now."

Jiang Chen's body flickered, and he leaped onto the battle platform like lightning. He extended a finger, which glowed with a golden light, and suddenly pointed at Han Yan's forehead.

Roar!

Han Yan was enraged and was about to attack, but his mind had not been completely eroded by the demonic nature. He recognized Jiang Chen.

"Get out of the way."

Han Yan's voice was hoarse, and black demonic smoke spewed from his mouth.

"Brother Han, listen to me. The demonic nature of the Ancient Heavenly Demon is too strong. You must control it gradually. In your current state, forcefully awakening the Ancient Heavenly Demon's bloodline and power will have severe consequences. I will now transmit the Great Bodhisattva Heart Sutra to you. Use this sutra to temporarily suppress the demonic nature within you. The outcome of the battle is not important. You have inherited the Ancient Heavenly Demon's legacy and do not need the reward. I will help you deal with this Li Wushuang."

Jiang Chen's divine consciousness transmitted the Great Derivation Soul Refinement Technique into Han Yan's mind, directly penetrating his soul, causing Han Yan's body to tremble and regain a brief moment of clarity. At the same time, a profound heart sutra flowed into Han Yan's mind like a clear stream.

"Excellent heart sutra. This is a Buddhist heart sutra, the perfect counter to demonic nature. If I had this heart method, I could control the demonic nature within me well."

Han Yan was surprised, and the demonic smoke around his body began to dissipate.

The Great Bodhisattva Heart Sutra is a supreme heart method of Buddhism, which Jiang Chen obtained from an enlightened Buddha in the Western Continent in his past life. He did not cultivate this Buddhist heart method due to his life of killing. In this life, he cultivated the Dragon Transformation Technique, following a unique path, so he did not need this Buddhist heart method. However, Han Yan needed it very much.

Han Yan received the Great Bodhisattva Heart Sutra and quickly followed the incantations. The demonic nature within him was temporarily suppressed, and the Heavenly Demon Mark on his forehead temporarily disappeared.

Panting heavily, Han Yan's forehead was drenched in sweat. He looked at Jiang Chen with gratitude: "Brother Jiang, you saved my life today and gave me such a profound Buddhist heart sutra. I have no way to repay you."

Han Yan was naturally very grateful. He was well aware of his condition and knew the danger he was in. If not for Jiang Chen, he would have been completely finished.

"I like you."

Jiang Chen patted Han Yan's shoulder.

Han Yan smiled and looked at the stunned Li Wushuang, saying loudly, "I concede."

After saying that, Han Yan looked at Jiang Chen again: "It's up to you now. Be careful; this guy is not easy to deal with."

Han Yan's concession made the Grand Competition even more thrilling. The unexpected twists and turns were too exciting, and all the battles did not go as people had expected. This made the Grand Competition even more interesting.

"Jiang Chen, you dare to disrupt the order of the battle platform, looking for death."

Liang Xiao shouted coldly, waving his hand to send a beam of light towards Jiang Chen. His attack was aimed at killing Jiang Chen, showing his ruthlessness.

Bang!

Guan Yiyun naturally would not stand by and watch. He blocked Liang Xiao's attack with a palm and said angrily, "Liang Xiao, what are you doing? Jiang Chen is a participant in the Grand Competition. The outcome has not been decided yet. As the host, you are being shameless."

Guan Yiyun began to protect Jiang Chen. He knew that if Jiang Chen had not acted in time, Han Yan would have been in real danger.

"The battle between Li Wushuang and Han Yan is not over. Jiang Chen's private intervention violates the rules."

Liang Xiao was relentless.

"Ha, how ridiculous. If it weren't for me, Li Wushuang would already be dead at Han Yan's hands. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

Jiang Chen laughed loudly, glancing at Li Wushuang, who did not look good. In a sense, Jiang Chen had also saved his life.

"Alright, Han Yan has conceded. Now, Jiang Chen and Li Wushuang will battle for first place."

Nanbeizhao spoke, unexpectedly not making things difficult for Jiang Chen, which was unusual and confusing.

Others did not understand, but Jiang Chen did. Nanbeizhao probably just wanted to see how many tricks he had and whether he could truly contend with Li Wushuang's Overwhelming Heaven Technique.

"Humph!"

Liang Xiao coldly snorted and fell silent. With Nanbeizhao allowing the competition to continue, he had nothing more to say.

In the square, people's hearts were still unsettled. The Grand Competition had been full of twists and turns, and Jiang Chen's emergence as a dark horse had changed everything, defying all expectations.

"Damn, Jiang Chen actually made it to the final step. What bad luck, losing three hundred human pills to that dog."

"This is a good thing. The Little Demon King conceded, and Li Wushuang still has full combat strength. Jiang Chen might not be a match for him. If Jiang Chen loses, we can get our human pills back doubled."

"Right, Li Wushuang is still in peak condition. Jiang Chen might not be able to handle him. Keep an eye on that big yellow dog; don't let him run away."

...

The fact that Li Wushuang and Han Yan did not both suffer losses gave those who had placed bets a glimmer of hope. Now, they all hated the big yellow dog, wishing to roast him alive.

"Little dog, do you think Brother Jiang Chen can win?"

Yan Chenyu asked with some worry.

"Don't worry. This kid doesn't fight without a sure thing. Before, defeating Li Wushuang would have been uncertain, but after he ascended the Heavenly Ladder and enhanced his strength, defeating Li Wushuang is not a problem."

The big yellow dog said, full of confidence in Jiang Chen.

On the other side, the disciples of Xuan Yi Sect surrounded Han Yan.

"Senior Brother Han, are you alright?"

Someone asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thanks to Jiang Chen."

Han Yan replied.

"I wonder if Jiang Chen can defeat Li Wushuang?"

"I think he can. Jiang Chen is the biggest dark horse in this Qi Prefecture Grand Competition, even more so than Nanbeizhao."

The disciples of Xuan Yi Sect had a good impression of Jiang Chen and were naturally hoping he would defeat Li Wushuang and take first place. Moreover, many of them had the idea of recruiting Jiang Chen to join Xuan Yi Sect, considering his outstanding performance in the Grand Competition.

On the battle platform, Jiang Chen looked at Li Wushuang with a calm demeanor. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and he exuded an overwhelming aura that made him seem towering and awe-inspiring.

"Jiang Chen, you could kill Ling Ao, but you are certainly no match for me."

Li Wushuang said.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, not taking Li Wushuang seriously.

"Humph! Jiang Chen, what are you so arrogant about? You are just a wandering cultivator, daring to challenge the four major sects in the Qi Prefecture Grand Competition. You are truly reckless. Challenging me is no different from seeking death."

Li Wushuang coldly snorted. Jiang Chen's indifferent and slightly contemptuous gaze deeply offended his strong sense of self-respect.

He had always grown up in admiration and reverence. In Tianjian Sect, he was a shining star, and no one had ever dared to look down on him. Now, he was being despised by a wandering cultivator, and it was a genuine disregard. Moreover, Jiang Chen was only at the initial Human Pill Realm, which Li Wushuang could not tolerate.

"I just saved your life. Is this how you speak to your savior? It seems the people of Tianjian Sect are truly ungrateful, worse than beasts."

Jiang Chen pretended to sigh and shook his head.

"Looking for death, I will show you the consequences of offending Tianjian Sect."

Li Wushuang was enraged. His aura surged, and his footsteps shook the battle platform. An endless vortex of powerful energy swirled around him, forming an energy shield in front of him, which he used to charge at Jiang Chen, using the same technique he had used against Han Yan.
