Chapter 59
At the moment when the sword of wind struck down, the whole cliff rumbled. A crack appeared on the ground.
Jiang Chen hurried to run away from the crack, and a great landslide started. The rumble sounded like thunder.
At the same time, Ning Ping fell onto the ground. His body was still intact, but he was only one last breath away from his death.
“Help…”
Ning Ping uttered the word with difficulty. As soon as he opened his mouth, large amounts of blood spurted out.
Many arrows were aimed at Jiang Chen, who had just managed to stand firmly.
Jiang Chen didn’t show any mercy, either. He killed all of the subordinates.
She loosened her hold and Jiang Chen fell onto the ground.
“Hey, that was too much!” Jiang Chen looked to be in pain. His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
“If you don’t stop talking nonsense, I’ll leave you here,” Wen Xin warned him while she helped him up again.
This time, Jiang Chen behaved himself. They went down the mountain in silence.
But to their surprise, they met someone on the way.
“Wen Xin, you two…”
It was Hong Youjun. She came because she had heard the noises as well. She didn’t expect to run into Wen Xin and Jiang Chen, who were so close together.
Seen by an acquaintance in such a situation, Wen Xin wished she could find a cave to hide in. Jiang Chen had learned his lesson. He grasped her shoulder tightly, lest she loosen her hold on him.
“He’s injured,” Wen Xin explained, and then went on walking.
Hong Youjun went up to Wen Xin and whispered to her, “Wen Xin, he is being chased by Ning Ping and Zhang Shichao.”
Although Jiang Chen was kind to her brother, the trial ground was a cruel place, and people had to be realistic.
“Ning Ping is dead. His body is on the mountain,” Wen Xin said.
“So is Zhang Shichao,” Jiang Chen smiled.
Hong Youjun was even more surprised than Wen Xin, and she was embarrassed by what Jiang Chen had said. He had heard what she said to Wen Xin.
The three of them found a place to stay. Wen Xin immediately helped Jiang Chen sit down so that he could regulate his breath by himself.
This time, it took him the whole day to recover.
When he opened his eyes, he had achieved the beginning of the middle stage of the Gathering Yuan State.
The enhancement that a desperate battle could bring people was huge, and it was even greater when it came to a fighting genius.
In the air, Elder Cloudcrane was relieved when he saw Jiang Chen’s state enhancement. At that moment, there was almost no one at the trial ground that could be a match for Jiang Chen.
He was even more joyful when he saw Elder Li’s long face.
“Even if he joins the Natural Law School, Ning Haotian won’t let him off easy,” Elder Li said.
“The Natural Law School doesn’t belong to Ning Haotian,” Elder Cloudcrane said.
“Hum.”
Elder Li left in a fit of rage, maybe because he didn’t want to stay there, or maybe because he wanted to inform Ning Haotian as soon as possible.
As for Jiang Chen, as Elder Cloudcrane had observed, there was no equal rival of his at the trial ground after he had achieved the beginning of the middle stage.
On the third day, everyone at the trial ground was informed of the deaths of Zhang Shichao and Ning Ping.
Everyone was busy trying not to even run into Jiang Chen, let alone trying to grab his flags of the natural law.
The trial ended on the fiftieth day, when Jiang Chen had collected five flags successfully. So had Wen Xin and Hong Youjun.
Wen Xin’s ability was obviously excellent, so it was natural for her to have achieved it. As for Hong Youjun, she was extremely grateful to Jiang Chen, since she had procured the five flags successfully thanks to him.
