The Brilliant Fighting Master

Jiang Chen’s attack speed reached an indescribable level, as he instantly appeared in front of the butler before the latter had time to respond.

Bang!

Jiang Chen’s left fist struck the butler, but the latter just stood there without moving. It really seemed like the most normal outcome of a Celestial Venerable’s attack against a Great Venerable. However, Situ Feng, who was standing not far from them, discovered that the butler’s body had stiffened, and he could faintly hear a sound similar to what a jammed spring would emit.

He widened his eyes and stared at them. He witnessed that the veins in Jiang Chen’s right arm were giving off a radiance that was concentrated in his fist, passed through it into the butler, and was left inside his chest.

When Jiang Chen drew back his arm, his right arm’s veins, as well as the butler’s chest, started shining. It was like five cavities were opened in the latter’s chest, and they all shone in radiances of different colors. The butler was trying to stick out his chest, and he opened his mouth wide to speak, but he couldn’t emit the slightest sound. Then the butler’s body started being torn apart from the five cavities inside him. He, a solemn Great Venerable, disintegrated into pieces like a torn painting, and his blood spluttered off into the sky.

“He is dead.”

Situ Feng and the Divine Infantry were all dumbfounded. Jiang Chen had killed him instantly with a single punch, and there hadn’t been any suspense at all in their confrontation.

“The Flame Emperor…the Flame Emperor is still alive…?”

Lord Xiahou’s knees went soft, and he almost fell to the ground. After a long while, he shouted in a sharp voice, “That damned Jiang family!”

If the Jiang family hadn’t supplied him with false intelligence, he wouldn’t have treated Jiang Chen in such a way. Now, it wasn’t important whether the Flame Emperor was really dead or not, what was important was that he was capable of providing his followers with enough power to instantly kill a Great Venerable.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had stated that he would pay them a visit later.

As he thought of all this, Lord Xiahou felt like he could see the beautiful manor, constructed by him with such meticulous care, being destroyed among a sea of flames.

“What should we do?” Lord Xiahou was out of his wits, and he didn’t know what he should do.

“Xue’er, Xue’er…” Lord Xiahou grabbed his daughter’s shoulders suddenly and spoke excitedly, “…if Jiang Chen really comes, I hope that you can apologize to him and compensate him.”

“What should I….”

Xiahou Xue didn’t realize what he meant at first, and it was only after a moment that she realized that her father wanted to hand her over to Jiang Chen to quell his anger. As for how she would quell it, she was clearly aware of it. However, the issue was whether Jiang Chen would take a liking to her?

Jiang Chen had already defeated Situ Feng, and if he was really a follower of a Martial Sovereign she wouldn’t possess anything good in comparison to him besides her outer appearance.

When Situ Feng heard what this father-and-daughter pair had stated, he just left quietly. He wasn’t willing to stay anymore.

“You mustn’t divulge to anyone what happened here today,” Gongsun Wuxie warned Situ Feng.

Situ Feng didn’t want to inform anyone of this day’s humiliation, but he still didn’t know why Lord Xiahou had warned him. However, when he thought about Lord Xiahou’s character and how he would always try to harm others even if it wouldn’t benefit him, he understood everything.

Lord Xiahou wanted more people to suffer from trusting the Jiang family’s intelligence. Then there would be more people reproaching the Jiang family.
