Chapter 98
As he advanced, Jiang Chen found the passage was becoming more and more narrow. In the end, he had to walk sideways.
If he hadn’t heard the wind, he would have thought he had arrived at the end of the world.
When arriving at the narrowest part, he had to inhale to move his belly inward to make it through the space, but fortunately, after that, it opened up.
He kept walking. Soon, he saw lights glittering.
He saw a timber bridge leading to a palace, the lights coming from that palace.
Jiang Chen walked to the bridge and looked down. It was too dark to see the bottom. He kicked a stone down and didn’t hear it hit the bottom for half a minute.
What an underground world!
“It doesn’t matter. I can’t put up with what you’re doing, that’s all. Even if you’re bullying a sow, I’ll try to stop you all the same,” Jiang Chen said.
Chu Luo was irritated when she heard Jiang Chen compare her to a sow, but she had to hold her temper for a moment, since Jiang Chen could decide her fate.
“Then we won’t go easy on you. Disciple of the Natural Law School, do you really think we don’t dare do anything to you because you saved our team leader’s life? Let me tell you. He’s already dead,” the small guy said coldly.
Wan Li, the team leader of the Gang of Knife and Sword, who had insisted on opening the iron door, had died in the demons’ hands. He got what was coming to him.
Dorchid said to Jiang Chen in a low voice, “Why don’t we just leave?”
Of course, she wouldn’t want to rescue Chu Luo from her standpoint.
“Do you really think they’ll let us go? If I believed them and intended to leave here with you, we would have died before we could reach that door,” Jiang Chen replied to her, also in a low voice.
Dorchid had never thought about this possibility. She was convinced when she recalled the frantic looks she received from those men.
“Are you sure you can do this?”
The Gang of Knife and Sword had eleven men. The small guy’s state was the highest. He was in the completed late stage. The others were in the middle stage.
Jiang Chen was in the beginning of the late stage, while Dorchid was in the peak of the middle stage.
They were inferior in numbers. Besides that, the small guy’s speed was Dorchid’s biggest concern.
“Don’t make me kill you. This is your last chance.”
Jiang Chen didn’t answer Dorchid. He just kept looking at those men.
He received a laugh in reply. Obviously, those men didn’t take Dorchid and him seriously.
“Looks like our disciple of the Natural Law School is very confident. Just show him, Crane the Third, how great you are.”
The small guy gave him a sinister smile. He was ranked third in the Gang of Knife and Sword, not because of his state, but because of his speed.
That was why he was called Crane the Third.
“Traceless Shadowy Steps!”
Crane the Third didn’t show any mercy to Jiang Chen. That was his most powerful movement. His body disappeared immediately from where he was standing.
In a second, the air around Jiang Chen started to distort.
It seemed like Jiang Chen hadn’t noticed. Those of the Gang of Knife and Sword had cruel smiles on their faces.
If what they knew about Crane the Third was correct, Jiang Chen would be decapitated in the next second, and Crane the Third would kick his head like a ball.
Pew!
However, they heard a cracking sound, as if something was pierced. The figure of Crane the Third became visible again. His chest had been pierced by the Redcloud Sword.
And it was Jiang Chen’s hand that was holding the handle of the sword.
He drew back the sword as if he had done nothing special.
“Is that all? That’s your speed?”
