Chapter 416
Chapter 416 – Sudden Change, Third Broken Part of the Heavenly Saint Sword!
Fast! The sword was extremely fast! No one could see anything but a trail of light streaking across the sky, leaving behind a trace in the ocean of tunes.
Clang!
The music instantly stopped, and Wu Ningzhu was greatly frightened. Without lowering her head to look at her zither; she knew that the string had been broken.
Swoosh!
In the following moment, Wu Ningzhu felt a cold gleam flash by next to her face. It was an extremely sharp gleam that she had no way to dodge. Right now, Wu Ningzhu had finally experienced Jiang Chen’s true frightening ability; she was nowhere near this man’s level! She believed that as long as Jiang Chen had the desire, he could have removed her head with this strike.
However, right as the cold gleam disappeared, the man in front of her disappeared as well. In the follow moment, all tunes were finally gone, and Jiang Chen had returned to where he originally stood, with his sword in hand. Everything had happened within seconds, it was extremely fast; as if Jiang Chen hadn’t even moved.
But on the opposite side, a string on Wu Ningzhu’s ancient zither had been cut right from its center. The string was made with one of the strongest materials, and it was very difficult to cut. However, Jiang Chen had easily cut it with his sword, and that wasn’t all!
“I don’t know, but it looks like a good treasure! This broken sword emerged from the Nangong family, it should be something that belongs to them. Why did it actually fall into Jiang Chen’s hand?”
…………
Many people were shocked by the sudden turn of events. Wu Ningzhu stared at Jiang Chen’s palm. With her intellect, she was able to guess that this broken sword was the Nangong family’s secret treasure, the reason for why she came here to help Nangong Yunzheng.
“Dad, this!”
Nangong Wentian was terrified as well; this was situation he had never expected. It clearly wasn’t Jiang Chen who had stolen the broken sword, it was the broken sword that had jumped out from where it was kept and fallen into Jiang Chen’s hand.
“That’s the treasure left behind by the old master; the Nangong family’s foundation! We can’t let it fall into the hands of an outsider!”
Tu Yi was really emotional now.
However, Nangong Yunfan was calm and quiet. He kept staring at Jiang Chen without blinking his eyes.
“I remember, dad! When I entered the Island of Ice, Little Chen found a broken sword that looked just like this one, and that broken sword went straight to Jiang Chen, as if it belongs to him!”
Nangong Wentian suddenly remembered what happened on the Island of Ice, and he now understood why this broken sword suddenly came out by itself.
“You rascal! Let go of that broken sword!”
Right at this moment, Nangong Yunzheng shouted at Jiang Chen with a loud voice.
Jiang Chen glared at Nangong Yunzheng disdainfully. The Heavenly Saint Sword was his! And now, it had returned to its rightful master! No one; not even the father of the Heavens could even think about taking it away from him!
“So the reason you came here was to take away our family treasure! Let me tell you this; that treasure is the foundation of our family, don’t you try to take it away from us!”
Nangong Yunzheng said with a loud void and stern expression.
“If I really want to take it away, can you stop me?”
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent voice, throwing a fierce look at Nangong Yunzheng.
Jiang Chen’s words instantly caused Nangong Yunzheng’s body to tremble and him to gasp. He finally recalled how frightening this young man was! With his strength, there was no way he could stop this young man from doing anything. If this young man really wanted to leave, perhaps even all the men of the Nangong family would be unable to stop him.
“Little brother Jiang Chen, I beg you to stay your hand out of pity. For the sake of Wentian; please give us our treasure back.”
Tu Yi said.
His words immediately caused Jiang Chen to furrow his brows. There was no way he would give them his Heavenly Saint Sword. However, Nangong Wentian was his brother, and if he simply took away his brother’s family treasure, how was he going to face Nangong Wentian in the future?
“No need.”
Right at this moment, Nangong Yunfan spoke. His words immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“Yunfan, what are you talking about?”
Nangong Yunzheng turned to Nangong Yunfan and asked.
“Before father passed away, he passed his last words onto me. He told me that this treasure is a sentient object, and sooner or later, it would go look for its own master. If one day, a man who is fortunate enough to be able to move this broken sword, no man from the Nangong family is allowed to stop him. Because of this treasure, the Nangong family has been able to enjoy a hundred years of good life, and this is a gift given to us by the heavens. I think everyone saw what happened just now; Jiang Chen didn’t steal our family treasure, it was this broken sword that jumped out by itself and came to nephew Jiang Chen. This is something that has never happened before. Therefore, nephew Jiang Chen is the man mention by father, and if he takes this broken sword away today, it will be a great merit for the Nangong family!”
Nangong Yunfan said with a loud voice.
