Chapter 383
“Cut the crap! You’re dead meat!”
The middle-aged man was so angry that he burst into laughter. He shook his head and looked at Jiang Chen with stronger killing intent.
The others also looked at him coldly.
Surprisingly, Jiang Chen said to them in a helpless tone, “Go back. Let’s bring an end to this affair.”
But he only received scoffs and firmer killing intent in reply.
“Stop pretending to be tough. If you’re afraid, kneel down and beg for our mercy to show your regret. I might keep your corpse intact,” the middle-aged man said.
“So there’s no room to negotiate?” asked Jiang Chen.
“The Hero Palace won’t expel him anyway. He doesn’t have to take the risk. Besides, he isn’t a match for anyone on the Slay Demon List yet.”
“I wonder what the Hero Palace will say.”
“I guess they’ll just say nothing.”
Jiang Chen returned to his yard in the Hero Palace. Soon, he heard footsteps coming from outside. He smiled. It sounded like Ying Wushuang.
“Jiang Chen.” As expected, Ying Wushuang’s familiar voice came.
Jiang Chen looked back. He hadn’t seen her for two weeks, and now she looked even prettier. It reminded him of their first meeting.
Compared to then, Ying Wushuang wasn’t as gloomy anymore. As her situation in the Hero Palace changed, she had picked up some vigor.
She knew all this was due to Jiang Chen. That was why she had come here to visit him as soon as he came back.
“I thought you’d gone to hunt down someone on the Slay Demon List.” Ying Wushuang sounded relieved, like she didn’t think Jiang Chen was strong enough to do that.
“Why did you think so?”
“Because Crimson Moon, who had left with you, came back a long time ago. She also joined the Hero Palace.”
“Really? Is she here now?”
The people in the Dragon Field hadn’t heard about what had happened in the Fire Field. They didn’t even bother to ask.
“Yeah.” Ying Wushuang said, “It turned out Liu Shayang, ranked tenth on the Slay Demon List, has been holding back. Have you heard that?”
“Yeah?”
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously. So the news hadn’t travelled from the Wind Moon City yet.
“Exactly. If you perform the task, of course you’ll go for number ten. Many people are expecting you to look for him.”
“Don’t worry. I paid him a visit already. And I’m still alive,” said Jiang Chen.
“Are you saying you fled? Well, that’s not too bad. You managed to run away from a man so much stronger than you.”
“No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying I’ve alive, and he’s dead,” said Jiang Chen.
He had planned to report it to the elders, but judging from Ying Wushuang’s reaction, even if he told others about it, no one would believe him. Even though he had recorded it, he would still be questioned.
So he was going to wait for the news to come from the Wind Moon City first, but some people didn’t allow him to live in peace. After Ying Wushuang, a bunch of people visited.
They were from the Sword Association. Due to Jiang Chen, the Sword Association was already close to falling apart.
