Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 54 Rush to

Jiang Chen, holding the Sun God staff, could now be considered invincible.
The aura of the Innate Sun enveloped him, protecting him from any attacks made by the two princes of the Western Sea.
No matter how they attacked, they could not break his defenses and didn’t manage to harm Jiang Chen even slightly.
Under the Sun God staff, they couldn’t injure Jiang Chen, yet Jiang Chen was capable of hurting them.
One could see that as the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword waved, tendrils of bloody light filled the air, tightly entwining the two princes of the Western Sea, leaving one wound after another on their bodies.
Simultaneously, after being struck by the bloody light, the blood-qi of the two princes was also rapidly depleting, transforming into enormous energy surging into the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword.
This gradually augmented its power.
In other words, the formidable power that erupted from the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword was not being drained from Jiang Chen’s mana but rather, it was the power it somehow stripped from the two princes of the Western Sea and the various Sea Clan members.
One must understand that the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword is a heavenly treasure acquired post-birth, while Jiang Chen is merely a small cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm, with extremely limited mana.
Had the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword not possessed the ability to steal power from others, how could Jiang Chen have maintained its activation for such a long period and display such immense power?
If that hadn’t been the case, he probably would have been sucked dry by the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword long ago.
…
…
Feeling the depletion of their internal strength, Ao Rong and the White Dragon suddenly sensed danger.
Then, the two dragons met each other’s gaze, each revealing their original form, transforming into a black and a white divine dragon, opening their mouths and brandishing their claws as they pounced on Jiang Chen.
For other species, being forced to reveal one’s original appearance symbolises their determination to fight to the death.
For it is only in their original form that their full strength can be unleashed.
Roars…
For a time, at the entrance of the Yellow River to the sea, the roaring of dragons was continuous.
When East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang and the Jiang Family’s representative, Jiang Zixuan arrived, the scene they encountered was this: Jiang Chen with the Sun God staff above his head and the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword in hand, locked in combat with the black and white divine dragons.
“Stop!” The two of them, upon seeing this, shouted in unison.
Then, the East Sea Dragon King extended his hand to grab and immediately detain Ao Rong and Ao Lie, the two divine dragons.
On the other side, Jiang Zixuan also exercised his Divine Ability, pulling Jiang Chen to his side.
“Humf!” Seeing that it was Jiang Zixuan who intervened, Jiang Chen gave a cold snort toward the two dragons, flicking his sleeve and retracting the Sun God staff and Dragon-slaying Divine Sword.
Having quieted the restless mana within his body, Jiang Chen greeted Jiang Zixuan: “Jiang Chen pays his respects to Elder Zi Xuan.”
Jiang Zixuan waved him to rise, first taking a careful look at him.
Seeing that he was unharmed, he then frowned and asked, “What just happened?
Why have you clashed with the Western Sea Dragon Clan?”
After a moment’s thought, just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, the disgruntled voice of the White Dragon could be heard: “Humph, he is incredibly brutal.
He first killed the people of my Sea Clan, and then sought to kill my second brother.”
“Had I not arrived in time, my second brother would’ve certainly fallen victim to his treacherous plot.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Zixuan furrowed his brows even deeper: “Old Dragon King, control your nephew.
I am asking my clan’s younger generation, not him.”
“Moreover, while I am speaking, he has no right to interrupt.”
Throughout this exchange, Jiang Zixuan didn’t even look at the White Dragon.
Completely ignored by him, the White Dragon felt the slap.
This insult must’ve deeply injured the White Dragon.
Almost instantly, the face of the White Dragon flushed red.
It felt a surge of anger boiling in its heart, as if it wanted to burn it from the inside.
“You…!” Furious and shocked, the White Dragon was about to rebuke, but at this moment, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang quelled him, and made his apologies to Jiang Zixuan: “My nephew is discourteous.
I apologize on his behalf for his disrespect to you, friend.”
With that, Ao Guang pushed down the head of the White Dragon to make him bow to Jiang Zixuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Zixuan laughed: “Dragon King, you are too serious, young people inevitably make mistakes.”
The East Sea Dragon King shook his head nonchalantly, saying solemnly: “Now that my nephew has apologized, it’s time your younger descendant gave me an explanation.”
“I wonder how my nephew provoked him to the point of resorting to such cruel methods.
Also, what wrong did the Sea Clan do to deserve this ruthless treatment?”
Looking at the sea that had been stained red with blood, the old face of the East Sea Dragon King was so grim that it seemed like he would drip water.
“Indeed, if you do not give us a reasonable explanation for this matter, even if it escalates all the way to the Star Monarch, we would also demand fairness.”
Just then, a voice came from afar.
Jiang Zixuan turned around, only to find that during his conversation with the East Sea Dragon King, the other three Sea Dragon Kings and the four River Dragon Gods had all arrived.
The words spoken earlier were by the West Sea Dragon King who was also part of this matter.
Most of those who died in this place were from his lineage, and the dragon whom Jiang Chen wanted to kill was his son.
Hence, he was the most enraged here and vowed to strictly punish Jiang Chen.
As for the Star Monarch, he was referring to the Sun Star Monarch of the Heavenly Realm, also the son of the Flame Emperor, and the one currently managing the affairs of the Jiang family.
“Jiang Chen, you tell us exactly how this happened – don’t be afraid of their threats and tell the truth.”
“If you were in the right here, even if it goes all the way to the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Extremity, we, the Jiang family, would also demand an explanation from the Dragon Clan.”
Ignoring the threats of the West Sea Dragon King, Jiang Zixuan turned his head to talk to Jiang Chen.
In the meantime, he also stood sideways in front of Jiang Chen, guarding against a sudden attack from the other side.
“They were the first to attack.”
“Upon my arrival here, the people from the West Sea Dragon Palace attacked me without reason or explanation.
They intended to execute me on the spot.”
“I had no choice but to fight back in self-defense, leading to these events.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Chen slowly explained the cause of the incident.
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the East Sea Dragon King’s face seemed to darken further.
He turned his head unhappily towards Ao Rong and asked, “Rong, is what he said true?
Were you the first to attack?”
Though he asked in the form of a question, Ao Guang roughly guessed the answer in his heart.
As it seemed, this matter was not in favor of their Dragon Clan, just as Jiang Chen had stated.
Ao Guang knew what his nephew was like—arrogant and domineering doesn’t begin to describe it.
No, to be precise, all the dragon princes were like this.
The Dragon Clan has dominated the Eastern Sea for too long.
The older generation was still okay, understanding the need for reverence.
However, the younger generation, they were truly arrogant and have been acting recklessly in the Eastern Sea.
It has been the case for some time now.
Incidents where they impulsively engage in combat are not a rare occurrence and that’s only considering the ones Ao Guang was aware of.
To add to that, there were likely numerous incidences that Ao Guang wasn’t aware of.
Walking along the night road so much, one is bound to run into ghosts, with the Dragon Princes’ behavior particularly provoking trouble.
These incidents of arrogance would inevitably run into assertive people too, and this was considered normal.
This led to the present situation.
Troublesome!
Thinking about the current circumstances,
Ao Guang felt an immense headache.
