The 1000 balls of qi in front of Jun Ren suddenly trembled, before they rapidly expanded as they started to take on humanoid forms.
A moment later, 1000 warriors made from qi, each of them wearing an earthen yellow armor appeared in front of Jun Ren, all of them blocking Jiang Chen's path.
Half of the warriors were holding deep yellow spears and shields while the other half were holding swords instead.
Neither Jiang Chen nor Shun Long or the others were surprised when they saw Jun Ren's 1000 warriors appear in front of him as they barred Jiang Chen's path. They had already seen this scene before, during Jun Ren's previous fights. Everyone already knew that these warriors were all formed from Jun Ren's Dao of War!
''Haha, a brat who has comprehended the Dao of War. How interesting.'' Little Black's voice had a tinge of amusement in it as it sounded inside Shun Long's mind while Shun Long simply nodded his head in agreement.
Indeed, Jun Ren's Dao of War was extremely unique.
The only Dao that Shun Long had seen which could be considered somewhat similar to this, was only Liu Mei's Dao of Death.
Seeing Jiang Chen approaching him at a terrifying speed that was even enhanced by his 'Demonic Wings' even further, Jun Ren simply smiled as his 1000 warriors in front of him suddenly split into 10 groups.
And yet, Jiang Chen simply smirked as he took out a golden saber from his spatial ring, before he dove head-on towards the first group that was blocking his path.
BOOOM!
As Jiang Chen slashed his saber horizontally, the bodies of more than a dozen warriors were instantly destroyed as their earthen yellow armor in front of their chest cracked before they turned to dust.
The rest of the 100 warriors however didn't falter as they moved to surround Jiang Chen as well, all of them hacking towards him with their swords.
Jiang Chen either punched those swords with his fists that were enhanced by the power of his Demonic Dao, or he slashed his golden saber towards them, and with every passing moment, dozens of Jun Ren's warriors were being destroyed at an extremely fast rate.
Jiang Chen looked like a magic beast tearing through an army of mortals, unhindered by the warriors' attacks.
And yet, Jun Ren's lips simply curved upwards, as a moment later, the other 9 groups that were filled with 100 warriors each, all moved to reinforce the first group that was under attack.
''Jun Ren's warriors are probably slightly weaker than Mei'er's skeletons if they were at the same level of cultivation, but they are more organized when they fight and even resemble an army, bringing out more of their strength this way. If they fought against Mei'er's skeletons head-on, they would most likely win. However, if Mei'er's undead knights also joined the fight, it's uncertain who would win...'' Shun Long mused to himself as he watched Jiang Chen tear through the defenses of Jun Ren's warriors effortlessly.
''Haha, master. Although that kid has really gained insights into the Dao of War, this is only the crudest, most simple way to utilize his Dao. Naturally, the Dao of War is suited towards both offense and defense, allowing a single person to control an army, while the Dao of Death is more suited towards death and destruction. However, this kid hasn't found the true essence of the Dao of War just yet. If he were to fight against master's wife, even if they were at the same level of cultivation, it would definitely be a one-sided slaughter.'' Little Black had the same amused look on his face as he looked at Jiang Chen effortlessly destroying Jun Ren's army.
At that moment however, although Jiang Chen hadn't stopped hacking his golden saber, he was actually unable to keep moving forward, as Jun Ren's warriors had surrounded him from all sides.
It had to be said that even a peak rank 9 Nascent Soul stage cultivator would die if he was hit by the attacks of 10 peak rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivators simultaneously. Although Jiang Chen was confident in himself, this was still a tough situation to be in.
Although he was still destroying Jun Ren's army, Jiang Chen's speed had slowed down dramatically after he was completely surrounded.
At this point, more than 600 warriors clad in earthen yellow armor were left, but Jun Ren simply smiled as he looked at Jiang Chen with a mocking look in his eyes and said
''Since you were so arrogant to dive head-on and destroy them, then let me see how you plan to escape now.''
However, this wasn't the end, as Jun Ren gathered his qi in front of his chest, causing another ball of qi to start taking form in front of him.
The looks on the faces of some of the outer court disciples watching from the audience seats suddenly changed, as everyone saw that a moment later, more than 300 warriors had once again appeared around Jun Ren!
Jiang Chen had managed to destroy a little more than 300 warriors so far, but more than 300 of them had once again appeared in front of Jun Ren in the blink of an eye.
It didn't matter how fast Jiang Chen could destroy them, it was obvious that the speed at which Jun Ren could create those warriors was much faster than Jiang Chen's.
Everyone understood that if this continued, then Jiang Chen's qi would be depleted before Jun Ren had even used half of his own.
It wasn't just Shun Long and the rest who had noticed this, but even Jiang Chen who was in the midst of the more than 600 warriors who had also managed to sense this through his soul sense.
''Jiang Chen, you were too arrogant! Since you dared to lower your cultivation base against me, then let me send you on your way! You are the first person to see my true strength!''
As he finished speaking, Jun Ren closed his eyes and placed both of his hands on the ground of the platform, as he started to infuse his qi, before a large pool made from a bright yellow liquid was soon formed in front of him.
At that moment, the platform itself started to tremble, before a giant more than 30 meters(100ft) tall emerged from the bright yellow pool of liquid, leaving the spectators utterly stunned.
