Chapter 383: The Invincible Monster: Jiang Chen's Power of Deterrence!

If one were to get injured during the duels, it would be easy for others to swoop in and snatch the prize.

It would be far better to conserve one's strength and wait until the end drew near before choosing to enter the arena.

This very thought surfaced simultaneously in everyone's mind, lingering and refusing to fade!

On the other side.

Seeing that all seven great arenas remained completely empty, with no one daring to step forward first.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Jiang Yan, Jiang Ming, Jiang Zhiwei, Jiang Hao, Jiang Yi... and the others behind him.

He smiled faintly.

The invincible conviction in his heart—terrifying beyond ordinary imagination—filled his face with an intense sense of self-confidence!

As a descendant of the Great Emperor, I shall never fall at the hands of these people!

This battle, I shall be the one to ignite it!

As his thoughts churned, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "Outsiders are cowardly, none dare to mount the stage to defend the arena. Now, let your elder brother be the very first!"

Jiang Yan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he laughed, "With Brother Chen taking the field, it's naturally a cinch—let them learn just how formidable our Jiang Clan is!"

Jiang Ming, cradling the silver-white long spear in his arms, added, "Since our clan brother wishes to ascend this arena and become the first, we shall follow right after..."

Jiang Chen gave a slight nod.

Then he whirled around abruptly and strode toward the first arena!

By now, news of Jiang Chen's identity had long since spread.

Hence everyone already recognized him.

Thus, seeing Jiang Chen approach, and recalling the rumors of his terrifying strength.

The crowd could not help but tense their expressions and instinctively chose to step back and make way.

In an instant, the once-packed venue was cleared into a wide, empty path!

Under the tense gazes of countless eyes all around.

Jiang Chen held his head high and chest out, like a sharp sword, striding into the arena!

Then, he did not summon the Chengying Sword.

Because these people were not yet worthy of making him use such a supreme treasure!

His expression was cold and stern.

Slowly, he raised his right arm, extended five fingers, and loosely curled them into a loose grip.

The next instant, flowing light flickered.

A silver-white longsword abruptly materialized in his palm!

This sword was precisely the Profound-Grade lower-quality ceremonial sword the clan chief had bestowed upon him several months prior!

Today, he would use this sword to defeat every hero present!

Jiang Chen tightened his grip on the hilt, lifted his head slightly, and surveyed his surroundings.

Gazing upon these heaven-chosen prodigies from the various great powers before him.

A smile curled at the corner of his lips, and beneath the gaze of ten thousand eyes, he let out a declaration of war!

"If any of you wish to fight me, feel free to come up and try!"

The moment these words left his mouth, they were deafening, like rolling thunder reverberating between heaven and earth!

The crowd, which had been buzzing with heated discussion, seemed to have been pressed into pause—instantly falling utterly silent, not a single sound to be heard!

They exchanged uneasy glances, none daring to step forward.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

The terrifying feat of Jiang Chen single-handedly annihilating the Fengbai Jiang Clan.

Had long since spread during this period, echoing throughout the entire Tiandou Prefecture!

Everyone now knew that the Cangwu Jiang Clan, aside from Jiang Daoxuan, the renowned White-Robed Sword Marquis.

Also possessed a terrifying prodigy like Jiang Chen—one who, even across the entire dynasty, ranked among the absolute pinnacle!

That was why the crowd felt fear.

After all, the man possessed the terrifying strength to slay a Star Wheel.

And who would be foolish enough to charge up, only to be defeated in a single move, humiliate themselves, and become his stepping stone?

At the same time, the prodigies of the various great powers also wore solemn expressions, their eyes brimming with wariness!

Facing such an absolutely unbeatable monster, who would be stupid enough to go up?

Not only would they suffer a crushing defeat, but they'd also collect a heap of injuries, forfeiting their chance at the subsequent advancement rounds.

That would truly be putting the cart before the horse, losing more than gaining!

Under such circumstances, time slipped away bit by bit.

Until even half an incense stick had burned away, still not a single person on the scene dared to step forward!

Faced with this bizarre scene, none of the high-ranking members of the various great powers uttered any rebuke.

Only because they understood perfectly well.

It was not that their own juniors were overly cowardly—it was simply that this Jiang Chen was genuinely terrifyingly powerful!

His might was simply not something peers could contend with; they could only choose to avoid his sharp edge!

After all, even someone as strong as Zhao Yuqing, the top prodigy of Tiandou Prefecture, currently only possessed what was rumored to be the strength to contest a Star Wheel!

Yet Jiang Chen had genuinely slain a Star Wheel!

Not to mention this Star Wheel was no ordinary Star Wheel!

It was the ancestor of the Fengbai Jiang Clan, who possessed a cultivation base at the sixth level of the Star Wheel realm!

Jiang Chen had been able to slay such a powerful foe.

In other words, he at least possessed the combat strength of the seventh level of the Star Wheel realm!
