Chapter 118
The general kept dashing forward. No one could stop him.
Both Fu Yan and his bodyguard were frightened by the general’s aggressiveness. They retreated to the Peak of Drifting Clouds right away.
When the general had almost caught up with them, the grand tactical formation of the peak was turned on.
It was as though a tenacious giant net shrouded the whole peak. The general didn’t manage to dash through it. He became stuck in it, moving slower and slower.
“Let’s go!”
With the help of the formation, the leader bodyguard started a fierce attack against the general with his subordinates. Spiritual weapons were brandished here and there. Rainbows of all colors flew across the sky and struck the general.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
To his disappointment, there was no response at all. Around them, there were only onlooking disciples. There were no elders.
An idea occurred to him. His heart sank deeply.
As he had said, Jiang Chen wasn’t influential in the school. The school was always cracking down on him.
In fact, many people even wanted Jiang Chen to die, but the Natural Law School couldn’t kill a disciple for no reason. They could only act when they had an excuse.
Fu Yan was exactly that excuse the school could use!
His life or death wasn’t important to the Natural Law School.
“Li Qin, help! Help!” Fu Yan asked for Li Qin, who was below, at the peak, to help.
He had been taking care of Li Qin recently. The two of them had become very close. They even flirted sometimes, so he thought Li Qin would help him.
But soon he felt desperate. Li Qin kept sitting there, looking at him blankly.
“This woman thinks the same as the Natural Law School!”
Fu Yan was both surprised and angry. He looked over to Jiang Chen and shouted, “Don’t kill me. If you kill me, you’ll be punished by the Natural Law School. Calm down!”
Jiang Chen stayed there, still. His eyes were cold.
“I’ve already said I want you dead!”
Jiang Chen started an attack himself. He kicked Fu Yan away first, then a flame flew out of the Universal Darkfire Lamp towards him.
Soon, Fu Yan was devoured by the fire as well.
At the same time, he hit the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree. The leaves caught on fire and started to burn.
It became a majestic scene when the thousand-year-old tree was burning.
Li Qin’s face was illuminated by the firelight. Her expression looked even more blank.
This tree was her pride. It was her comfort after the death of her brother.
But then, Jiang Chen had once again deprived her of her comfort!
As expected, as soon as Fu Yan died, elders came from all directions of the Peak of Drifting Clouds.
“Jiang Chen, how dare you randomly kill innocent people in the Natural Law School?!”
“Evil. What a great evil! The Natural Law School won’t put up with such behavior!”
“We’ll get rid of you today!”
These elders were all in the Mental Wander State, which meant there were no grand supreme elders. Even Li Qin’s master, Elder An, wasn’t there.
This showed how resolute they were to kill Jiang Chen, since if there were grand supreme elders present, Mo Xu could come and step in again…
Jiang Chen was still fearless. He didn’t explain or beg for mercy. Instead, he challenged the elders. “You wanna kill me? Great! Today, let’s have a good fight!”
“How dare you threaten the elders?!”
“No one will be able to save you today!”
“Ha, you’re elders, so what? Today I’ll kill whoever gets in my way!” Jiang Chen laughed. He was holding the Universal Darkfire Lamp in his left hand and a golden pamphlet in his right hand.
“Kill!” He gave the order first. The general dashed towards Li Qin.
“How dare you try to murder us?!”
The elders became irritated. Some of them went to rescue Li Qin. The others went to attack Jiang Chen.
