Chapter 32
Chapter 32 – I Can Heal
Silent, dead silent!
The intense scene quieted down suddenly. Even the three late stage Qi Hai warriors stopped their attacks. Everyone was staring at the young man in the white robe.
The air was permeated with the stench of blood. There were corpses and heads everywhere. It was horrifying.
One minute! In just one minute, the young man had swung his sword nine times, killing nine people. Everyone had been killed in a single strike, and none of them were still alive.
“How did he do it?”
A shocked mercenary mumbled to himself.
Every individual present was a Qi Hai warrior. The young man in front of them was only at the early stage of the Qi Hai realm, but he had incredible skills! He killed the other Qi Hai warriors as easily as killing dogs. Even a late stage Qi Hai warrior couldn’t kill nine people in a single minute.
“I teased him when we were at the Mercenary Square, I am such a fool.”
Everyone were shocked and breathing rapidly. Jiang Chen’s actions had a huge impact on them, even a late stage Qi Hai warrior was easily killed by him. The thing was, he didn’t even blink his eyes when he killed.
“Haha, Lee Long, you’re good at planning, but I bet you never thought that I would have such a strong assistant!”
Yan Meng said as he laughed out loud.
Lee Long’s face was ghastly pale. He had been smoothly planning for days, all for today. If everything went according to plan, then Yan Meng would be dead by now, and he would have the Pure-Yang fruit. The young lady of the Yan family would thus die, throwing the Yan family into chaos and depression. When that happened, the Lee family would finally have an advantage, and they would easily be able to defeat them.
He never would have thought that someone would appear from nowhere and change all of this with such ease.
“Young man, I’ll remember you! You will suffer now that you have offended the Lee family!”
Lee Long said in a ferociously as he turned around and prepared to escape.
“Lee Long, you can’t run today.”
Yan Men shouted out loudly. Just as he was ready to start chasing, a white figure had already passed him.
Swooosh!
The white figure was Jiang Chen. His speed was so great that in the blink of an eye, he had blocked the path of Lee Long.
“Still thinking about leaving?”
Jiang Chen said with a grim smile.
“Young man! You have nothing to do with the matters between our families, why do you want to become our enemy?”
Lee Long asked loudly.
“Because you’re from Lee family, that’s why you have to die.”
Jiang Chen said casually. Immediately after saying this, he pointed his finger out. The powerful Single Solar Finger locked down Lee Long and smashed into him violently. This attack was backed by a tremendous amount of force.
Bang!
Lee Long couldn’t defend himself from the Single Solar Finger. Although he tried very hard, he was still sent flying by the impact of the attack. He smashed his back onto a huge rock, destroying it. When his body finally stopped flying, he landed onto the ground and started coughing up blood.
“This is so frightening!”
Everyone were terrified as they looked at Jiang Chen with horrified looks.
Jiang Chen took out a mortal restoration pill and swallowed it. After releasing two strikes of the Single Solar Finger, he had already used a lot of his energy.
After that, under everyone’s eyes, Jiang Chen threw his sword into the air and kicked it with his leg. He had kicked the handle of the sword, instantly sending it towards Lee Long. The sword penetrated Lee Long’s skull, leaving only the handle visible. This demonstrated how much force was applied to it.
Yan Meng took a deep breath. Looking at how Lee Long was killed, he felt like Jiang Chen had a deep grudge against the Lee family. Once he attacked, he would show no mercy.
“This young man is courageous and ruthless. He was calm and killed like it was nothing, I was wrong about him.”
Yan Meng let out a silent sigh. He recalled saying that Jiang Chen was a growing flower in a greenroom who had never experienced the actual world. He was regretting those words now.
“Yan Meng failed to see Brother Jiang Chen’s true abilities, I never expected Brother Jiang Chen hid them so deeply. Without your help, today we would have all died here today.”
Yan Meng said sincerely.
“Don’t mention it uncle Yan. I was paid to solve the problems, don’t forget to pay me those 100 mortal restoration pills.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile. He took out a folded fan and turned back into the young man from a rich family again, drastically different from how he looked just a minute ago when he was killing like a demon lord.
“Brother Jiang Chen has saved us all today, we’re unable to repay this huge kindness.”
Wang Ting and the rest came forward, speaking while holding their fists respectfully. Everyone was thankful that he saved them from certain death. Their gratefulness towards Jiang Chen came from the bottom of their hearts. Without Jiang Chen, they would all be dead by now.
“Brother Jiang Chen, when we reach Red city, I would like to invite you to come visit the Misty Rain Tower. I’ll let the chief know about what happened today, and I am sure that the chief will be very grateful as well.”
Yan Meng said with a polite tone.
“It’s very nice of you to say that.”
Jiang Chen said without any hesitation. The Misty Rain Tower was his target, and it was possible that the things he needed were available there.
“Let’s go everyone, I’ll treat you all once we reach the Misty Rain Tower!”
Yan Meng told all the mercenaries. He had never felt better than he did now that the dangers were gone. Everyone was relaxed as they continued their journey towards Red city.
“Uncle Yan, I heard that the young lady from the Yan family is sick. Can I know what the actual situation is?”
Along the way, Jiang Chen asked.
“Sigh… Brother Jiang Chen knows nothing about it. Our young lady was a brilliant child ever since she was a kid, she was talented and she reached the ninth Qi Jing level when she was just six. She was a genius amongst genii… It’s just too terrible.”
When mentioning the young lady of the Yan family, Yan Meng expressed his pity.
“Please let me know what her symptoms are, I might have a way to heal her.”
Jiang Chen said.
“You have a way?”
Yan Meng’s eyes immediately lit up, but they darkened shortly afterwards. “Impossible, there’s no way to cure her, the young lady’s sickness has made it so that she cannot live past 15. Even the Pure-Yang fruit won’t be able to save her. The sickness would strike her once every year, and this has happened since she was seven. When it strikes her, her body will be ice cold, and that coldness will enter her bones. You can’t imagine how much pain the young lady is suffering from. Every time the sickness strikes, it is like a matter of life and death. Now the young lady has turned 14. The sickness has already struck 8 times, and it is increasing in severity every time. Our Yan family has hired all of the famous physicians and alchemists in Red city, and all of them had concluded that the young lady won’t be able to live past 15.”
“Icy coldness that enters her bones? Strikes once every year?”
Jiang Chen’s eyes were slightly closed as if he had thought of something.
“I can heal your young lady’s disease.”
Jiang Chen said.
“What? Brother Jiang Chen, are you joking?”
Yan Meng asked with a surprised expression.
“But, I need to examine your young lady personally and decide after looking at the actual situation.”
Jiang Chen said.
