Chapter 544 - A Fight between Martial Venerables
In fact, Whitty was already strong enough to take revenge by himself, but his weakness was that he didn’t know how to deal with tactical formations, so he hadn’t challenged the Dragon Rebel Army yet.
With Jiang Chen there, he was running around the valley gallantly.
“You’ve just become a Venerable, but unfortunately, you’ll die here soon,” the Commander of Holy Wind said.
As he spoke, he asked Murong Long through holy awareness, “You know him. Do you think he’ll surrender?”
“No,” Murong Long answered immediately.
There was no personal bias in the answer. It was a fair comment.
“So, we’ll kill him.”
“Information. I’ll offer you information!” the Commander of Holy Wind said resolutely.
The reaction of the Dragon Rebel Army proved how hard it had to have been for him to be so resolute.
“Are you going to betray us?” the commander of the Black Dragon Troop said with fury.
“Will I lose?” the Commander of Holy Wind said to him through holy awareness. The commander of the Black Dragon Troop was struck dumb, then he calmed down.
It was true that it was impossible to lose to a man who had just become a Venerable.
And it had been a smart move for the Commander of Holy Wind to use Jiang Chen’s pride and arrogance after becoming a Venerable to propose a fair trial.
“Do I look stupid?”
“What?”
“I know all of your plans and goals for the war. What information is more valuable than the war merit points I’m going to earn by defeating you?” Jiang Chen said.
The Commander of Holy Wind furrowed his brows. He said seriously, “The information I know is not only related with the war situation here, but also the old scores between us and the Flying Dragon Dynasty.”
“All right,” Jiang Chen said.
He didn’t ask about the reliability of the information. There were two possible reasons for this. The first was that he was too naive. But judging from his past behavior, that was quite unlikely.
So the only explanation was that Jiang Chen was absolutely confident, so he didn’t care whether the commander would tell the truth or not.
“Damn it!”
The commander had tried to goad Jiang Chen into action, but he was irritated by the latter’s disdain instead.
Smart.
As a bystander, Murong Long had been observing the situation attentively. He noticed Jiang Chen had been tricking Commander of Holy Wind since the very beginning.
He had used to think Jiang Chen annoying, just like the Commander of Holy Wind had, but by then, he realized how smart Jiang Chen really was.
However, the Commander of Holy Wind was in the middle stage of Martial Venerable.
Is he going to challenge someone in a higher state again? Murong Long couldn’t help but think. But he soon shook his head. He said, “The phoenix blood of the aristocratic family of inheritance in his body or other forces he uses as trump cards will, at most, help him level up half a grade in the grading system of Venerables.”
The gap between the preliminary stage and the middle stage of Martial Venerable was like the gap between heaven and hell.
“That being said, that’s Jiang Chen.” Murong Long didn’t dare jump to any conclusions.
Holding the Red Cloud Sword in his left hand, Jiang Chen said, “Take my attack.”
He threw his sword over right away, not giving the Commander of Holy Wind any chance to stall for more time.
“Don’t underestimate me!” The Commander of Holy Wind also attacked in anger.
