Chapter 38
Jiang Chen suddenly pulled his sword back when it was time. The cyclone changed into a giant blade, striking Meng Ding.
With a bang, all the trees nearby were bent down by the wind. The closest ones were even blown away.
Not only those of the Bloody Hand Gang and the Fiery Lion Gang, but also those of the Jiang Mansion were lying on the ground, screaming.
Meng Ding died, totally shattering. Only his giant sword, which fell onto the ground, was still recognizable.
“I’ll melt the giant sword and forge it into a sheath,” Jiang Chen thought unconsciously. Suddenly he felt very empty, since his genuine yuan had been used up.
Thank goodness for the holy pulse, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to exert that movement. The more my holy pulse recovers, the more powerful that movement will be.
“This unique movement is a free ride,” the Redcloud Sword commented on his movement.
“Better than death,” the man from before continued. Maybe he’d forgotten his position at the time of danger. He would never have had the nerve to talk to the Second Elder like this in peaceful times.
This guy was called Jiang Xiao. Many people were irritated by him, but they didn’t know how to refute him.
He went on, “Three of the guys outside are in the peak of the late stage of the Gathering Yuan State, while here, only the lord has the same state.”
“Besides, among the other nine who are in the late stage of the Gathering Yuan State, five are in the completed late stage, and four in the beginning of the late stage.
“We only have one guy in the peak of the late stage, two guys in the completed late stage and two in the beginning of the late stage. What’s more, we are inferior to them in numbers of people and weapons.”
Jiang Wentian looked at his people, all in despair, and said helplessly, “Arrange for the escape of all Jiang disciples and families. The others will stay here to fight.”
On hearing this, everyone had reluctant and helpless expressions. In the end, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.
Jiang Chen suddenly showed up at the door, which surprised everyone. “Grandpa, I might have a solution.”
“Young Lord, why are you back?”
Fan Tu was the first one to walk up to him. He didn’t understand how Jiang Chen had appeared at that moment.
“Uncle Fan, is everything fine with my mother?” Jiang Chen said immediately.
“Your mother is staying with the other ladies. She is safe,” Fan Tu said.
Jiang Xiao suddenly asked, “It’s totally blocked outside. How did Child Chen come in?”
“There is a secret passage between the east and west courtyard. But of course, you wouldn’t know where it is.” Jiang Chen had heard this man’s cowardice, so he was hard on him.
“You shouldn’t have come back.” Jiang Tianxiong knew where the secret passage was. He had been feeling fortunate that his elder son was away, studying at an institute.
Theoretically, Jiang Chen could have dodged a bullet as well, since he was on an adventure in the mountains.
However, he came back by himself!
Jiang Xiao didn’t take Jiang Chen seriously. He said, “Don’t waste time. When the people of the mine and herbal mountain gather here, we will finally be unable to break out of the siege.”
“I’ve sorted out the problem at the mine and the herbal mountain. They’ve already lost their reinforcements. Besides, I’ve brought dozens of warriors here.”
Jiang Xiao was speaking to the other people there, but only Jiang Chen answered him.
After a few seconds of silence in the main hall, Jiang Wentian said, frowning, “What do you mean by sort out?”
“Sort out means I took care of it.”
