Chapter 553 – The Great Manager’s Anger
Right at this moment, everyone were holding their breath, as all of them could now tell how huge the gap between young master Qi and Jiang Chen was. Young master Qi was badly wounded now, and there was no way he could withstand another attack from Jiang Chen. If nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Chen’s next strike would claim young master Qi’s life.
This was also the reason why everyone was so shocked. Nearly everyone believed that Jiang Chen had the courage to kill young master Qi. After all, young master Qi was a man with a prestigious status and position in the Heavenly Sect. It wasn’t easy for any major power to cultivate an Eighth Great Combat King, so if he was killed, not only would it be a great loss for the sect, it would also be a huge humiliation to their reputation.
But unfortunately, there weren’t anyone Jiang Chen didn’t dare to kill. Underneath the heavens, there were only men he didn’t want to kill, or men he couldn’t kill at the moment; there were no one he did not dare kill.
Under young master Qi’s shocked gaze, the True Dragon Palm forcefully fell down on him. Although young master Qi had tried all he could to defend against this strike, he had already been badly wounded, so he was no longer a match for Jiang Chen. The huge dragon claw descended down like a tremendous body, slamming young master Qi down from the sky with a loud boom.
Plop!
Young master Qi was slammed down from the sky, and smashed into the ground; producing a large crater filled with dust. While hovering in the sky, Jiang Chen stretched his arm out and pulled young master Qi out from the deep crater, then clenched his neck; holding him like a chicken.
Young master Qi was in a miserable condition right now. His entire body was covered in blood, and both his arms had been twisted and broken by the attack. He had completely lost all ability to fight; like a spent force. As long as Jiang Chen had the intention, he could kill young master Qi at any time.
Someone whispered.
“Send a message back to the sect at once, don’t let these guys have an opportunity to escape.”
A man from the Heavenly Sect took out a messaging talisman and secretly sent word of what happened here back to the Heavenly Sect.
…………
At the very moment when young master Qi was killed, inside the Heavenly Sect, his soul jade slip shattered instantly. The Elder who was keeping watch of all the soul jade slips was struck with great panic, and without hesitating, he went straight to the Elders Palace.
Six men were sitting inside the Elders Palace, and they seemed to be discussing something. Each of them were very powerful. The Elder who sat in the center was a Third Grade Combat Emperor. Besides him, there were also two Second Grade Combat Emperors and one First Grade Combat Emperor, as well as two Ninth Grade Combat Kings. It was an extremely formidable group.
Out of the two Ninth Grade Combat Kings, one of them was the Heavenly Tower’s Great Manager. Although he was the head of the Heavenly Tower, when it came to this Heavenly Sect’s Elders Palace, his position was immediately brought down.
“Great Manager, you’ve done well this time. With so much Nine Solar Holy Water, we can cultivate more geniuses for the Heavenly Sect.”
The Third Grade Combat Emperor said. He was obviously satisfied with the Nine Solar Holy Water brought back by the Great Manager.
“Thank you, Elder Yuan. Having so much Nine Solar Holy Water at such a young age, I’m sure that guys know where to find even more Nine Solar Holy Water. Therefore, I asked young master Qi to deal with him in the Devil Realm, and find out where he got that Nine Solar Holy Water from.”
The Great Manager said with a smile on his face.
“You’ve made the right decision, and it will also not bring any harm to the Heavenly Tower.”
Another Combat Emperor also praised the Great Manager.
“Something bad happened!”
Right at this moment, the Elder who was guarding the soul jade slips rushed into the Elders Palace.
“Why are you panicking? Tell us slowly what happened.”
Elder Yuan furrowed his brows.
“Something bad happened! Young master Qi’s soul jade slip is broken, he’s dead!”
The Elder said in dismay. He knew young master Qi had brought many disciples and traveled to the Devil Realm. And now that young master Qi’s soul jade lsip had broken, it meant the group was struck with great danger. Therefore, he dared not hesitate, and came to report the news at once.
“What?! Young master Qi is dead?! When did that happen?!”
The Great Manager jumped out from his chair. If young master Qi was dead, that basically meant his plans had completely failed.
“Just a moment ago.”
The Elder truthfully answered.
“What about the other disciples?”
Elder Yuan asked while furrowing his brows.
“Most of them are still intact, only a few soul jade slips have broken.”
The Elder said. This was actually perfectly normal, minor casualties was really normal for a place like the Devil Realm. However, the only abnormal thing this time was that most of the weaker disciples were safe, while the strongest young master Qi had died. Something unusual must be happening in the Devil Realm.
Right at this moment, a talisman inside the Great Manager’s body suddenly vibrated. He flipped his palm, retrieving the talisman. Upon hearing the message sent to his talisman, his expression changed dramatically.
“Bastard!”
The Great Manager was enraged. He couldn’t believe what had happened in the Devil Realm.
“Great Manager, what’s going on?”
Elder Yuan asked.
“I just received news from the Devil Realm, it was that Jiang Chen who killed young master Qi. I underestimated that guy, I didn’t expect him to hide his strength so deeply. Even young master Qi, an Eighth Grade Combat King was killed by him! Damn it, this is ridiculous!”
The Great Manager’s face became grim.
