Chapter 42
Chapter 42 – Double Whammy
Everyone’s faces changed dramatically. Lee Shan Yue also shouted out. Unfortunately, however, Jiang Chen’s speed was too fast. Even with the strength of his Mortal Core, he didn’t have enough time to stop Jiang Chen.
Swoosh!
The beam on Jiang Chen’s finger was swung like a sharp blade. Lee Chang Hao responded quickly and turned his body to the side in order to avoid being cut into half while at the same time preparing to block the attack with the Black Soul Ripper.
Regrettably, he was still too slow.
Slash!
A slashing sound was heard. Jiang Chen’s beam had hit Lee Chan Hao’s wrist. His Yuan power was unsuccessful in blocking the attack, and the Black Soul Ripper was also too late. Both his hands were cut off by Jiang Chen, and the Black Soul Ripper fell down onto the ground. Blood was spraying out from where his hands used to be like a water fountain.
Ahhhh!!!
Lee Shan Yue finally reacted. He raised his head high up and roared out loud. He had become beast-like in his madness. The aura of a Mortal Core warrior spread out like tidal waves. Everyone was having difficulty breathing under such pressure, and those who were standing close to Lee Shan Yue even got pushed onto the ground, vomiting blood.
He was furious. His own son was killed on the spot right in front of him, and anyone who had experienced this would react the same way.
“Brother Jiang Chen, come back now!”
Yan Zhan Yun was prepared. When Lee Shan Yue moved, he had already moved in front of Jiang Chen.
“Move!”
Both of Lee Shan Yue’s eyes were red. He struck his palm forcefully, but Yan Zhan Yun also unleashed his energy and fought back with his palms as well.
Bang!
The air around them exploded, two of the greatest warriors in Red city were fighting. The collision made the air around them heat up, and those who were watching the fight immediately fell back. The fight between the Mortal Core warriors was too powerful, and just being close to them would cost them their lives.
Jiang Chen stood on the same spot with an indifferent expression. Lee Shan Yue’s power had never frightened him. He was stable like a mountain, as if he didn’t give a shit about his enemy.
“Yan Zhan Yun, move away. Now! This little bastard killed two of my sons, I want to skin him alive today!”
Lee Shan Yue roared out furiously.
“Hmph! Lee Shan Yue, are you planning on losing all dignity? This was a death match, and your son lost. You can only blame his stupidity as he was weak but still wanted to participate. Now, as a Mortal Core warrior, you’re trying to attack someone who is much younger than you? You’re really throwing away all you dignity!”
Yan Zhan Yun let out a cold humph. Of course he wouldn’t move away, Jiang Chen was the savior of the Yan family; he had saved Yan Chen Yu. Even if he had to sacrifice his own life, he would still protect Jiang Chen at all costs.
“Yan Zhan Yun, are you going to move away or not? This is between my Lee family and this little bastard. It has nothing to do with the Yan family!”
Lee Shan Yue clenched his fists so tight that cracking sounds could be heard.
“Jiang Chen’s problems are my problems. If you want to fight, then I will be your opponent!”
Yan Zhan Yun was resolute with his decision. He unleashed his late Mortal Core energy and told everyone that he was going to protect Jiang Chen at all costs.
“Fine! Everyone move, kill Jiang Chen for me!”
Lee Shan Yue couldn’t hold his anger any longer. While ordering his men to attack, he raised his palms and started attacking Yan Zhan Yun.
Just as the men from the Lee family moved, five to six Mortal Core warriors from the Misty Rain Tower moved together and positioned themselves in front of Jiang Chen.
“The Yan family will protect Jiang Chen at all costs, no one can touch him while he’s here!”
Yan Hong Tai unleashed his energy as well. There were more and more men coming out from the Misty Rain Tower. This matter was getting serious.
Six Mortal Core warriors, this was almost all of the strongest warriors from the Yan family. There were only a few men who came from the Lee family, and if they want to fight with the Misty Rain Tower, then it would clearly be a one-sided fight.
“What did this Jiang Chen actually do to the Yan family? How come all the Mortal Core warriors from the Yan family wants to help him?”
“Maybe he cured the young lady’s disease? But, that is impossible. The young lady’s disease is incurable. Many grandmasters have tried, and they all ended up giving up.”
Everyone was shocked. They had initially thought that when the Yan family said they would protect Jiang Chen, it was just a symbolic action. But, now they could see that they really meant it.
The men from the Lee family all changed their expressions. Even Lee Shan Yue stopped his attack. The Yan family’s attitude was something that he had never expected.
“Yan Zhan Yun, are you really going to declare war with my Lee family?”
Lee Shan Yue was a successful man, and he had already regained his rational sense by now.
“If you want a war, then I will fight along… But, I guess turning Red city into a warzone is not something you want to see either.”
Yan Zhan Yun said without taking a single step back.
“Chief, I think we should let him go today. There’s plenty of opportunities to kill that bastard in future.”
A Mortal Core warrior from the Lee family whispered to Lee Shan Yue through his Divine Sense. Looking at how the Yan family was acting, it would be impossible for them to kill Jiang Chen today. Besides, the death match was something that Lee Chang Hao and Jiang Chen had decided on.
Lee Shan Yue’s furious eyes stared at Jiang Chen who was smiling and standing behind all the men. He then looked at Lee Chang Hao who was laying on the ground covered in blood. Although he didn’t want to let Jiang Chen go today, he knew that it would be impossible to kill Jiang Chen today. This place was Misty Rain Tower territory.
“Little bastard, I’ll rip you into pieces sooner or later.”
Lee Shan Yue said coldly. He then turned around and left with his men and Lee Chang Hao’s body.
The crowd were whispering to each other. In today’s fight, Lee Chang Hao had died, and the Lee family had lost a low rank combat weapon, what a double whammy for the Lee family.
As for Jiang Chen’s name, it would soon spread across the city.
