Chapter 293
Shui Chun still had an ace in the hole, and he would use it, since he couldn’t accept this result.
He stopped holding back and exerted his unique movement, as if trying to prove he wasn’t just bluffing.
A magnificent white dragon whirled around him. If the square had been enclosed, the amount of water could have turned it into a pond.
“If I had wanted to kill you, I could have used this movement at the beginning. Yet you thought you’d won. Ridiculous!”
Shui Chun was shouting loudly so that the spectators could clearly hear him and understand that he wasn’t worse than Jiang Chen.
“Start!”
He raised his hands high, as if he was supporting the sky. The tumbling current of water turned into a giant beast, attacking Jiang Chen.
The disciples of the Sword Association were murmuring, not convinced, but not daring to talk back.
Ying Wushuang was surprised at the mention of her name.
At first, she had been afraid that the whole Hero Palace would misunderstand their relationship due to his words and the fact that they had been together a lot recently.
But after hearing him, she didn’t feel annoyed at all. Instead, she felt wonderful.
Her frozen heart seemed to melt a bit.
“Wushuang, let’s go,” he said to Ying Wushuang and left. Jiang Chen didn’t have to stay there anymore.
Ying Wushuang thought for a second then followed him.
This fight had only been between the two rivals. Even though there was a winner, there wouldn’t be any awards, so since the two participants had left, the spectators also departed.
They went to broadcast Shui Chun’s defeat to those who hadn’t bothered to watch the fight since it had been believed he would win.
They were curious to see people’s reactions after hearing the news.
On a far away cliff, a man was gazing at the square.
It was quite foggy and far away. From this distance, he wasn’t supposed to see anything, but he had seen everything.
He frowned when Ying Wushuang followed Jiang Chen to leave.
“What? Are you still in love with her?” a coltish voice came from behind him. A man as tall as him had shown up.
He didn’t give the guy who was there before him any chance to speak. He said, “This Jiang Chen is good at swordsmanship. If not for these surprises, he would have been a great help to your Sword Association.”
“He’s so-so. His sword attack today wasn’t as powerful as the one he used to kill Zhao Yajun around the grand elders.” The other guy’s voice was deeper. He seemed more sensible.
“Maybe he didn’t give it his all?” The guy found it funny.
“Cloud One of the Reaching Heaven State against Cloud Three. Do you think it would be possible for him to hold back?”
“Of course. The gap between them is their states. Shui Chun was smart. All of his movements today relied on force.”
“But it was a surprise to him that he was lacking in force. I assume Jiang Chen has developed many extraordinary meridians.”
“Probably.”
These two’s comments were the most valuable in the Hero Palace due to their identities. One of them was the president of the Sword Association, Mo Jianfei. The other was the president of the Knife Dragon Association, Song Que.
“What are you going to do with him?” Song Que asked.
“I have nothing to do with him.”
Mo Jianfei shook his head slightly. It wasn’t that his explanation was to prove his innocence, he only meant that Jiang Chen wasn’t someone that bothered him.
“It was Murong…”
Song Que thought of Murong Xing, who still couldn’t get out of his bed, and his sister. He realized something.
“He’ll definitely turn against the Sword Association. Aren’t you going to stop him?” Song Que said, curious.
Mo Jianfei didn’t answer him. He lightly curled his lips.
Song Que knew he was too proud to answer this question, so he said, “All right. Let’s talk about something serious. Huangfu Qi killed Chu Nan, and he claimed he would challenge your rank on the Fighting Power List. What do you think?”
“He’s ignorant,” Mo Jianfei said calmly.
