If Jiang Chen had known what Qiu Li had been thinking just now, he wouldâve laughed.
Ever since heâd risen from the Realm of Nine Heavens, heâd experienced multitudes and multitudes of fights, large and small.
It was fair to say he had fought his way through life right up until this day.
He wasnât trying intentionally to mislead anyone into believing that he was inexperienced.
It was just because he was already so strong.
For this reason, he didnât need to be so concerned.
âYou b*stard!â
Jiang Chen waved his right fist and threw it over in an all-out punch.
GROWL!
The real dragon chime broke out during this punch.
This punch had been powerful enough to destroy the world. More than that, Lil Ying of the Heaven-Punishing Sword had moved from Jiang Chenâs left hand in the sword to his right hand.
Consequently, the Thunder Dragon Fist, which was twined with thunder and lightning, was exerted in front of this enormous audience.
WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!
The audience was dumbstruck because they heard the sounds of a dog barking as well.
âOkay! Beat this guy to death!â
Jiang Chen gave Qiu Li an angry punch after understanding Lil Yingâs intentions.
âGreat!â
Although Qiu Li was shocked, he could in no way retreat at this moment. He didnât mind getting himself hurt in order to hurt Jiang Chen.
BOOM!
The claws, the iron fist, and the iron wings kept clanking, creating a startling power and lots of loud noises. The energy given off from them even outshone the sun.
âIs this the power of an Extraordinary Supreme Venerable?â
Many people had never seen such a desperate fight before. They felt that their blood had been frozen. And they were extremely scared.
BANG!
In the end, something much more surprising happened.
Qiu Li was sent flying like an unstrung kite. He flew up in a curve and then started to fall.
Various parts of the Doomsday Magic Dragon Armor he was wearing had been dented to different extents. His arms were wounded where the iron and flesh had blended. He was bleeding.
âNot bad. Youâre still alive after such a tough punch from me,â Jiang Chen said with interest, waving his arm about a little.
His comment made the onlookers go speechless.
âYour rival was fully armed, while you were wearing such clean white clothes. You, unarmed, gave your rival such a good beating and then made insensitive remarks.â
If they had been Qiu Li, they wouldâve been pissed to death.
âIs he a Wizard?â
Due to his arrogance, some people couldnât help but wonder.
Wizards looked like humans. And they were all strong warriors. It would make total sense if he was one.
âNo, he is human. And he has a state too. Damn! Check out his state!â
Some guy had discovered what was special about Jiang Chen before any of the others: the state he showed as the fight became more and more desperate.
He sounded so shocked that people naturally supposed Jiang Chenâs state was extremely high. Then, when theyâd found out what his state really was, their reactions were exactly the same as the original guyâs. An uproar started in the city immediately.
A Martial Arts Saint in the middle stage: this was Jiang Chenâs state. He wasnât even in the second tier among practitioners in the City in the Sky.
However, even so, heâd hurt Qiu Li to such an extent.
âWho the h*ll is he?â Everyone was puzzled.
âWell, Master Wu, it occurs to me that there is something I need to handle at home. I have to go now.â
Assessing the current situation, Qi Lie was going to slip away.
However, at this moment, several brilliant sword radiances appeared on the horizon.
âIs that the reinforcements?â
âBut whose?â
âQiu Li is a loner. He doesnât belong to any force. That canât be his reinforcements.â
âAnd they are swordsmen. They might be here to help this young man.â
âBut he doesnât seem to need them.â
Jiang Chen was a swordsman. It was natural for them to associate him with those sword radiances.
âTheyâre coming from the Heavenly Ease Sword School! And itâs a Grand Supreme Elder! He has come in person!â
Yao Qing was the first to recognize who was coming.
The leader was the Grand Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Ease Sword School, who was Apprentice Younger Brother Chuâs grandpa.
The title Grand Supreme Elder was one level higher than Grand Elder. It was fair to say that Grand Supreme Elders were backbones of a school. They usually stayed in the school and didnât leave easily. Because once they left, an enemy could take advantage of their absence to attack the school.
Yao Qing had never expected the Grand Supreme Elder to come in person. It was not difficult to imagine how sad he was about Apprentice Younger Brother Chuâs death.
At the same time, Yao Qing felt quite pressured.
In the air, Qiu Li and Jiang Chen had also stopped because of this new situation.
âHeavenly Ease Sword School? Is this young man from the Heavenly Ease Sword School?â
Qiu Li involuntarily thought that these were reinforcements for Jiang Chen. He was going to flee. As for his apprenticeâs revenge, revenge would only be possible if he stayed alive.
However, just as he was about to flee, he realized that there was no eye contact between the newcomers and Jiang Chen. It meant that they didnât know him.
âIsnât that the Grand Supreme Elder from the Heavenly Ease Sword School, Chu Tianhe?â
âHeâs a senior who gained his fame a long time ago. He usually stays in the school. Why would he come here?â
âHe looks like heâs seeking revenge.â
It was eye-opening for the citizens of the City in the Sky.
Usually, it was even hard to see an Extraordinary Supreme Venerable. The city lord was a Senior Supreme Venerable, and he was already strong enough to maintain order in the city.
However, so many strange things had happened on this day.
Chu Tianhe looked even more indignant than Qiu Li.
Humans were of a more subtle and refined sensibility. Besides, it was his own grandson that had been killed. Blood is thicker than water.
His eyes were full of anger and resentment.
âYao Qing, where is the guy?â
Heâd totally ignored Qiu Li and Jiang Chen, who were up in the air. All of his attention had been drawn to the outside of the city lordâs mansion.
âGrand Supreme Elder, I havenât got the guy...â Yao Qing said immediately.
âYou useless thing! Your apprentice younger brother was killed in your presence, and you canât even catch the killer?â
Chu Tianhe wouldnât listen to her at all. Flying into a rage, he scolded her loudly.
âElder Chu, itâs not that Apprentice Younger Sister Yao Qing doesnât want to catch the killer. The thing is the killer is too strong. Apprentice Younger Sister Yao Qing actually did a great job in following him here.â Meng Shixiong spoke up for Yao Qing immediately.
âHa, ha, ha, how strong can he be?â Chu Tianhe laughed in a self-mocking manner. He was quite emotional at the moment.
He believed it must be one of his grandsonâs peers who had killed him. And this peer was at most an average Martial Sovereign.
In the Green Field, all Extraordinary Supreme Venerables would give way to him and the Heavenly Ease Sword School.
âI killed him. Cut the cr*p,â Jiang Chen said impatiently from the air when Meng Shixiong was about to disclose who was the killer.
WOW!
The city went into uproar once again.
âThis young man is really a troublemaker.â
Both Qiu Liâs apprentice and Chu Tianheâs grandson had died because of Jiang Chen, directly or indirectly.
Qiu Li couldnât believe it either, but then he was pleasantly surprised. He hadnât gone all-out yet in their blow exchanges, but he didnât know whether Jiang Chen had held back as well.
So, if anything went wrong, he could just leave first. He wouldnât come back until he was ready.
However, this was an unexpected twist for him. At the moment heâd gotten a helper.
âYou? A Martial Arts Saint in the middle stage?â Chu Tianhe said as he glanced at him, unable to believe it.
âGrand Supreme Elder...â
âSenior Chu...â
After Yao Qing and Qiu Liâs confusing but informative explanations, Chu Tianhe finally got to know Jiang Chen better.
âWhy did you kill my grandson?â he said coldly, finally looking at Jiang Chen.
âBecause your grandson intended to kill me,â said Jiang Chen.
âYou shouldâve held back. Otherwise, he wouldnât have made such a mistake,â said Chu Tianhe.
Who would be so dumb as to offend Jiang Chen if they knew how strong he really was?
âYou are actually like a Venerable Sovereign. You should show it in the first place, so that others will know whom they are facing. You shouldnât pretend you are weak in order to lure others.
Chu Tianhe was old enough to see everything clearly.
âIn other words, if I had been really that weak, I shouldâve just let myself be killed by your grandson?â asked Jiang Chen.
âExactly. This is the rule in this world,â said Chu Tianhe.
Most people agreed with him.
âHo, ho, ho, why are we wasting time in talking?â
Jiang Chen didnât bother to argue. He had been injured, so he couldnât show his full strength.
Besides, he had warned Chu Tianheâs grandson.
