Chapter 964
Aggrieved
The 4th!
“Humph!”
Gu Firmament let out a cold humph, no longer paying attention to Desolate Emperor as his eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the two combatants in the battlefield. He might look very confident and determined on the surface, but he totally had no idea about the outcome of the battle, but since the bet had already been made, he could say nothing more about it.
Inside the battlefield.
“Gu Chen, I can’t deny admiring your boldness and arrogance. I really have no idea where you get your self-confidence from.”
Desolate Yitang’s face was full of mockery.
“You will know soon.”
“No…”
Desolate Yitang gave out a shrill scream. He and Jiang Chen had only exchanged for three rounds, however, he was already pushed to the brink of defeat.
At the present moment, he no longer had the strength to fight back. With such serious injuries, he couldn’t even use half of his strength. So, how could he be an opponent for Jiang Chen now?
*Swoosh!*
Jiang Chen didn’t give Desolate Yitang a chance. The Heavenly Saint Sword turned into a divine light that shot forth, arriving above Desolate Yitang’s head in a blink.
Innumerable light rushed out of the sword, turning into a sword web, enshrouding Desolate Yitang and sealing the entire void, leaving him no chance to escape.
An extremely dangerous Qi rose from the bottom of Desolate Yitang’s heart. That was the taste of death he had never felt this before. Intense dread instantaneously flooded his heart.
He was certainly going to die soon. No one wasn’t afraid of death. People who lived comfortable lives dreaded death the most.
“Stop, Gu Chen!”
Desolate Emperor shouted from the outside. He hadn’t thought that Gu Chen would actually be this powerful. The great Desolate Yitang was about to be killed after three rounds of battle. How could he not be angry and impatient? That was a genius of Desolate Palace, losing such a genius would certainly incur a great loss.
However, Jiang Chen pretended as if he didn’t hear Desolate Emperor’s warning. From the moment he and Desolate Yitang started the battle, Desolate Yitang’s fate was already doomed.
*Chi La!*
“Argh!”
Accompanied by a mournful cry, the genius of Desolate Palace, Desolate Yitang, was severed into half by the Heavenly Saint Sword and instantly died.
For a while, in the main hall of Law Enforcement Palace, all of the elders’ eyes went wide, not believing what they just saw, especially those from Desolate Palace. It was really too hard for them to accept it as they all knew the strength of Desolate Yitang very well. This was the reason why Desolate Emperor summoned him here to fight Jiang Chen in the first place.
It wasn’t just them, even Gu Firmament stood petrified on the floor. A while ago, he had underestimated Jiang Chen despite his high expectations. A genius like Gu Chen was literally heavenly defying. This time, Gu Firmament was sure that he had picked up a real treasure.
Jiang Chen slowly kept his Heavenly Saint Sword, and then walked out of the battlefield and back into the main hall. His mouth was curved into a smile. He looked at Desolate Emperor and said, “Desolate Emperor, I assume that you still remember our previous bet.”
Including Desolate Emperor, all of the elders from Desolate Palace turned unpleasant all of a sudden. Just now, their minds were all focused on the monstrous talent, Gu Chen, and the death of Desolate Yitang, they had forgotten about the bet until Jiang Chen reminded them.
This time, the situation had gone out of their hands.
Desolate Emperor was very unwilling to believe this fact, but he couldn’t deny it. It was true that he was an old man who had lived for a few hundred years, and the strongest of the entire Saint Origin World. It was also true that he was scammed by a brat, Gu Chen. To him, this was an ultimate disgrace.
He was no fool, but why did he not see that this was a trap of Gu Chen? It started when Gu Chen demanded to fight any Fourth Grade Great Saint. Instead of retreating, he still continued and dived deeper into the trap that Gu Chen set. Thinking about this gave him an urge to cough up blood.
“Haha! Desolate Emperor, I don’t want to be disrespectful and decline the seat of being the Law Enforcement Palace master. This is the seat that I have longed to have.”
Gu Firmament was afraid that Desolate Emperor wouldn’t be furious enough, so he sent him another insulting remark. He now felt extremely relieved and delightful, Gu Palace had never been as proud as today.
Motherf*cker!
Desolate Emperor felt a little stuffy in his chest, as if there were hundreds of thousands of grass-mud horses galloping wantonly in his heart.
