Jiang Chen was also unhappy when someone kept bothering him.

Li Yaqin had sensed his high morale. Her black eyes lit up with expectation.

“Moon Killing Formation!”

However, before the two exchanged any blows, the Two Elders of Sword and Mystery, injured, retreated into the Lonely Moon City to turn on the city’s great formation.

Turbulent power was gathering secretly. It was invisible, but people could hear the deafening sound of the stormy waves building.

Still high up in the air, Jiang Chen was within the attack range of the tactical formation. Precisely speaking, the whole area over the city was within its range.

Moreover, a mysterious change occurred in the dusk sky, as if a lamp had been extinguished rapidly and bright moonlight was rising before the world completely fell into darkness.

“This is bad!”

“Infinite Sword School, stop! We’re in the attack range of the formation, too!”

“Do you want to declare war?”

The disciples of the Tai Yue School, including Li Yaqin, were also in the air.

They knew pretty well about the formation’s power. Since they had been taken by surprise, they hadn’t had the least bit of preparation for the oncoming attack. They all turned pale and panicked.

But the formation didn’t stop because of their pleading. It continued to function normally.

When the moonlight had reached its brightest, a moon appeared, hanging overhead.

The disciples of the Tai Yue School almost cried anxiously, tortured by the strong sense of crisis.

In comparison, the people in the city were safe. They came to realize why the city was called Lonely Moon City and why flying was forbidden there.

“When the lonely moon shows up, the world is silent.”

This was the sentence people used to describe the formation of the Lonely Moon City. At that moment, it made sense to them. They looked towards Jiang Chen, Li Yaqin, and the others in the air, pitying and smug.

Although they were rivals, it made no difference for the Infinite Sword School.

The Two Elders of Sword and Mystery seemed very resolute to kill them.

Aah!

Screams sounded as the formation showed its power. The disciples of the Tai Yue School died, one after another. The white moonlight was like the sharp radiance of a prehistoric holy weapon.

By then, the moonlight had become rather gentle. People could still see its pattern change, but everyone knew the Moon Killing Formation’s power was greater than that. It was a formidable great formation that was strong enough to kill Venerables.

Jiang Chen put on his thunder armor. Holding his formation disk in hand, completely focused, he wasn’t affected by the change of the formation at all.

Li Yaqin was waving her Azure Ray Sword in an elegantly and aesthetically. She looked like the Fairy of the Moon in the moonlight.

If they hadn’t been in such a big crisis, this would have made a beautiful scene.

Hiss!

Li Yaqin’s sleeves, which were embroidered with golden fight loops, were cut off by the moonlight. People heard her humming in pain. She had a bleeding wound on her shoulder.

The people down there felt heartbroken to see this, but none of them had the nerve to stop the Two Elders of Sword and Mystery, let alone go to her rescue.

Jiang Chen’s thunder armor was close to its limit, too. If his core of thunder hadn’t had any breakthrough and improvement, he wouldn’t have even held on for that long.

He suddenly put his formation disk aside and said, “Azure Demon, black dragon, help me crack the formation!”

As he spoke, he dashed towards the bright moon overhead while holding his sword with the protection of Azure Demon and the black dragon, one on the left and the other on the right.

This scene made many people frown, since the closer they were to the moon, the more lethal it was. It was nothing but committing suicide that he was rushing over like this.

However, the two elders were nervous. They looked like they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Glancing at each other, they knew the same thing had occurred to them, but they were still unsure of it.

A crack came from overhead only a few seconds later. It sounded like a giant balloon had broken. The moon turned into star-like pieces and then disappeared. The moonlight also zoomed back rapidly and vanished.

After a transitory period of darkness, the sky went back to normal. The evening glow appeared once again.

“He cracked the formation!”

The two elders spit up blood, then they warily flew into the air immediately, fleeing in opposite directions.

“The third.”

However, one of them was pierced through the heart as soon as he was out of the city.

He looked back and saw Jiang Chen’s cold face, his deva and naga on his left and right arms.

The latter didn’t cast another look at him. He merely drew out the Red Cloud Sword and started to chase the other elder.

As fast as lightning, he travelled across the Lonely Moon City from north to south.

The sword was pierced into his other enemy’s heart without hesitation, too.

The Two Elders of Sword and Mystery died one after the other in ten seconds.

Jiang Chen floated back, stepping on air. Blood rained down from the Red Cloud Sword.

No one in the city dared to even breathe too hard. The armored soldiers of the Infinite Sword School were struck by panic. Some of them took off their armor and went to hide in the crowd.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t intend to point his sword at all of them.

He looked towards Li Yaqin. Upon seeing her already heavily injured and unable to continue the fight, he lost interest in attacking her.

“Stop chasing me, for your own sake.”

Jiang Chen shook the blood off his sword and put it back into its sheath. He left under people’s curious gazes.

Li Yaqin was still reluctant to give up. Although it was surprising that Jiang Chen had cracked the Moon Killing Formation and killed the two elders, he hadn’t achieved it on his own.

This was true. The eight groups of spiritual beings were spiritual weapons. They weren’t a part of his strength like dragon power or extraordinary power.

Throughout history, these external forces were forbidden in fair fights.

That was why Li Yaqin still wanted to fight against Jiang Chen, but considering her injury and the casualties of the other disciples, she knew she would have to go back to the school, so she flew in the opposite direction unwillingly.

In this way, the people in the Lonely Moon City were struck dumb.

Not until then did they recall the whole incident had stemmed from a problem between Jiang Chen and Li Yaqin, while Xiao Xuan had only intended to do her a favor.

In the end, Jiang Chen was fine, as was Li Yaqin, and Xiao Xuan and the Two Elders of Sword and Mystery had died. The Infinite Sword School had suffered a great loss. They couldn’t help but wonder whether this was a scheme of the Tai Yue School.

As for Jiang Chen, after leaving the Lonely Moon City, he didn’t relax, although he had confirmed again and again that nothing on him was traceable. He even deployed a spiritual spell to isolate himself from everything.

“Azure Demon, when did you recover?” he then asked.

“We had abundant supplies in the small word thanks to you.” Azure Demon told him the truth.

“Could you help me get back to the Dragon Field?” Jiang Chen asked the question he cared about the most.

“No. Venerables have different levels, too. Take the nine-cloud system of the Reaching Heaven State for example. The black dragon and I are only able to deal with Venerables in the first three clouds, like those two guys.

“But in the Dragon Field, since the lord of the Murongs is in Cloud Three, I gather the general of the Dragon Rebel Army would be stronger.

“But of course, the state system of Venerables isn’t so simple. This is just an example for you to understand it more easily,” said Azure Demon.

“Fine. It’s a pleasant surprise for me that you’ve recovered.”

Jiang Chen was telling the truth. Azure Demon and the black dragon would be his greatest trump cards when he joined the army.
