Chapter 250
Jiang Chen had almost forgotten about the letter of challenge, but the people of the Sacred City hadn’t. Instead, they had kept it in mind and had been looking forward to this day.
The day of the fight finally came.
Zhuang Tian hadn’t come alone. A group of people followed him into the Sacred Institute.
The attraction of this fight was Jiang Chen’s identity.
A short-term disciple of the Sacred Institute had insulted Zhuang Fan from the Zhuangs and almost gotten him killed. This news had been reported by the Sacred City’s newspaper. Although it was only published in a corner on the second page, it had attracted many people’s attention.
This day was when the fight would happen. Many nosy people, as well as Zhuang Tian’s family and friends, had come to support him.
“Zhuang Tian, let’s make it clear before the fight. Even if you win, it doesn’t mean you’ve defeated a disciple of the Sacred Institute. Jiang Chen is only a short-term disciple.”
Both Zhuang Tian and Lin Yu were irritated. The knife and the sword became more aggressive.
By then, everyone knew Jiang Chen was a left-handed swordsman, but he insisted on using the knife to confront these two.
Was he arrogant or stupid?
“Without shapes, without appearances, without permanence, without fixation, without uses, without boundaries, without limits, this is the infinite Maha.”
“A knife attack without shapes!”
He mouthed the formula silently before he drew his knife out, then it came out of its sheath silently.
No one could see through this knife attack, because it looked too simple, so simple that it could be described in one sentence.
But this knife attack not only parried Zhuang Tian and Lin Yu’s attacks, but also sent them flying.
This knife attack didn’t try to crack the knife and the sword. Instead, it destroyed them directly.
“How boring. You should keep on working.”
Jiang Chen shook his head and put the knife back in its sheath, then turned around and left without looking back.
“Stop!”
Lin Yu turned red. He hadn’t been convinced.
“I lost.”
However, Zhuang Tian took his knife back.
“You—!”
“Don’t forget that he’s a swordsman,” Zhuang Tian said before Lin Yu could open his mouth.
Lin Yu’s anger disappeared. He was stunned.
It had happened too fast. There were more people coming. They hadn’t expected the fight to end so fast, and they were surprised to learn that it was Jiang Chen who had won.
Zhuang Tian, top ten on List D of the Dragon Rise List, had mastered first-class martial arts techniques. His state was also high, the peak of the late stage.
Lin Yu, in the top 100 of the Heaven Grade List of the west courtyard, was as excellent as Zhuang Tian.
Both of them had some fame in the Sacred City, but they had been defeated by Jiang Chen with one knife attack, and he was actually a left-handed swordsman. People couldn’t help but wonder how powerful this short-term disciple was.
At the same time, Jiang Chen had affected more people.
After his rise, the short-term disciples of the four courtyards stopped behaving like cowards. They would follow Jiang Chen’s example and talk back when they were threatened.
The disciples of the Sacred Institute weren’t very happy with that. If this went on, there would be no differences between them and the short-term disciples.
Many disciples of the Sacred Institute hoped someone would come forward to teach Jiang Chen a lesson.
The key was that this guy needed to be strong enough. Otherwise, he would only be another stepping stone for Jiang Chen.
There were such people in the Sacred Institute, and quite a few.
More than half of the top 100 of the overall list of the four courtyards could take the current Jiang Chen down.
