Three against one

After moving around for a bit, Jiang Chen came across a giant gate tens of metres long with a mysterious symbol drawn on it, making this gate more enigmatic.

He could feel very strong energy behind this gate that seemed to have surpassed the king's realm, which made him grave. He could not be sure whether the things behind this gate would be good or bad, so he had to be careful here.

The moment he came close to the gate and touched it, instantly the gigantic gate started to glow with an eye-blindingly bright light.

But the next moment he opened his eyes, he was already in another space that was bigger than a soccer field.

In the large hall-like place, there were three gigantic, strange humanoid statues, each holding a different weapon, standing straight and seemingly shouldering the sky.

One had a spear, another had a bow, and the last one had a shield. He also felt an unknown energy in all these three statues, which already alerted him to the trouble he was going to face.

And it did not disappoint him, as a second later, those three statues showed a movement, and a change took place in the whole place.

The ground below glowed with bright red light, and dense crimson fire suddenly enveloped the whole area, covering Jiang Chen and everything within it.

The flames were so hot that many king realm martial artists would find it difficult to survive here for some time, and even he was feeling the burning sensation because of the crimson flame; he felt like he was being slowly roasted in the oven.

The three statues that showed movement also changed, as suddenly all statues started burning with intense flames.

"What is happening?"

A few seconds later, the intense flames on the three statues stopped, and it seemed that completely different statues appeared in front of him.

They were all covered in magma-like armour, and their weapons, whether it was the spear, bow, or shield, were all burning with devastating crimson flames.

Their auras were strong, as each of them at least had the strength of the middle stage of the human king realm, and those burning weapons even gave him a feeling of danger.

Jiang Chen knew now he could not be careless for a moment as these statues here had the strength to harm him.

Three of the statues moved, and with lightning speed, they attacked him with different kinds of attacks.

The one with the spear attacked with a pierce-burning spear with a dangerous aura of destruction, wanting to destroy him entirely.

Seeing this, he also did not hold back and quickly took out his treasure sword, swung his sword, and fired a dozens-metre-long sword qi with slaughter intent to parry the spear statue attack.

Boom!

Instantly, both of their attacks collided, creating a large explosion, but immediately from behind, a barrage of flame arrows with crimson flames came trying to puncture his body.

The timing of the attack was perfect, as it was exactly at the moment he just attacked to hold the spear statue.

Numerous flame arrows flew out and attacked him from behind. Seeing this, he did not panic; instead, he was calm. He released his slaughter sword intent and immediately covered hundreds of metres around him with sword intent like a domain, and instantly all the arrows that came in contact with it started losing their strength.

And at last, they were all destroyed before they could reach Jiang Chen and do some damage to him.

At that time, the spear statue had already backed off and was behind the shield statue, which seemed to be protecting it, and the bow and arrow statue stood quite far, waiting for him to make a move.

In a single clash, which just took a fraction of a second, he understood the strength and strategy of these three statues.

They have a very basic but effective formation; the 'Spear Statue' is the main attacker, with a powerful, concentrated attack strong enough to hurt him badly.

The second one is the 'Shield Statue', whose strong point should be defence. He right now does not know how strong its defence will be, but by the strength shown by the other statue, he can guess it will be decent.

And lastly, the 'Archer statue', whose job is to attack and support them from a distance with his timely long-range attacks to coordinate with the other two.

Individually, they are not a problem. Maybe one or two direct attacks will do the trick, except for the shield statue, but the problem is that the combination of these three makes them dangerous.

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face as he thought of these.

"Nice, it might be fun."

He was not in some desperate situation or anything like that. Although he felt these statues were strong, they were just a little challenging to him. He has many trump cards that can easily defeat them, but instead, it is a rare chance for him to battle in the real world.

Those statues did not wait for a moment and attacked. The spear statue and shield statue both moved at the same time, as the spear statue attacked him with a spectacular spear technique while the shield statue was protecting it, remaining close to it.

"Since you all are playing as a team, let's make it more challenging."

He for the first time, fully unleased his slaughter of perfection in the second realm to his utmost limit, causing all the flames in hundreds of metres around him to be forcefully suppressed and merged with his sword qi to turn bloody red and change into unique, completely different slaughter sword flames.

Under his superb control, all those flames turned into thousands of small blade-like structures circling him while protecting him like a swarm of bees.
