Chapter 25
Chapter 25 – The Rule of the Cruel
The situation intensified again. The Mu Rong family warriors had regained some of their hope, especially the ones who had given up and surrendered. On the other side, the men from the Jiang family still had a look of excitement on their faces, but it was mixed with some worry.
Their young master had shown a strong performance even when he had just broken through to the Qi Hai realm… However, Mu Rong Zhan was no ordinary Qi Hai warrior. A man like him was just one step away from the Mortal Core realm, and as one of Fragrant Sky city’s tigers, he was not easy to deal with. It could be said that the reason why the Mu Rong family had been able to stand high for all these years was because of Mu Rong Zhan.
But, young master Jiang Chen had created miracle after miracle! He had never done anything without confidence after transforming. He was the one who initiated the challenge against Mu Rong Zhan, so he must be confident in being able to defeat Mu Rong Zhan.
Bang!
Mu Rong Zhan unleashed his powerful Yuan power, his strength as a person who was at the peak of the Qi Hai realm was truly frightening.
Mu Rong Zhan focused his vision on Jiang Chen who was standing right in front of him. He was trying to discover Jiang Chen’s true skill, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything.
Jiang Chen’s face was still calm, and his eyes did not reveal anything. He was like a steady mountain, and no one could tell how tall it was. His confidence was like a god given gift which made him absolutely certain in everything he does.
Mu Rong Zhan grinded his teeth. A fierce look appeared in his eyes. He infused all of his Yuan power into this Black Hawk Strike. He did not believe that a Late Qi Hai warrior can be defeated by a young lad who was only at the Early Qi Hai realm.
Bang……
A churning golden wave was seen in the middle of the collision accompanied by a subtle crash. The air was torn apart, Mu Rong Zhan’s Black Hawk Strike shattered into pieces by Jiang Chen’s Single Solar Finger attack as it couldn’t even withstand the attack for a second.
The huge golden finger hit Mu Rong Zhan’s body. He screamed loudly and flew away like a bullet from the impact.
Bang!
Mu Rong Zhan fell and crashed onto the ground 30 meters away, the hard stone surface broken by the impact.
Wa! Hurk!
Mu Rong Zhan vomited blood from his mouth. His face was pale, and although the Single Solar Finger hadn’t killed him, it had caused him to lose 90% of his strength.
Everyone were startled, even Jiang Zhen Hai had his mouth wide open. He along with all of the other fighters from the Jiang family couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Their eyes were filled with admiration towards Jiang Chen.
Who would have ever thought that Mu Rong Zhan would be defeated like this!
“The skill Jiang Chen used just now is obviously higher than the Mortal level, there is no such high level skill in Fragrant Sky city… I wonder who actually taught him and gave him such a great skill…”
Jiang Zhen Hai mumbled to himself, he was still not used to Jiang Chen’s changes.
All of the men from the Mu Rong family were surrounded and lost all of their hope, faces pale. Even Mu Rong Zhan was defeated by Jiang Chen. The Mu Rong family had lost their pillars, and they were no longer a match for the Jiang family within Fragrant Sky city.
“Impossible, this is impossible!”
Mu Rong Zhan held his body up with one arm while holding his chest with the other. He kept shaking his head; he had never imagined that one day he would be defeated by a young lad who was at a lower level than himself.
“The losers are always in the wrong. Mu Rong Zhan, do you have any other words?”
Jiang Chen walked towards Mu Rong Zhan. He placed one of his hands behind his back, and then looked down at Mu Rong Zhan who was lying at the floor coldly as if he was a king deciding if one should live or die.
“Hahahaha…… funny, funny, this is so funny…… cough cough.”
Mu Rong Zhan started laughing out loud. He had lost, but he wasn’t defeated by his arch enemy, Jiang Zhen Hai. Instead, he was defeated by a useless fool whom he had never bothered looking at, truly ironic.
He had too many complaints about his loss, and he simply can’t let them go… But he had to admit, he had lost.
“I lost, but I still want to beg you to let my descendants go!”
Mu Rong Zhan said in a begging manner.
Jiang Chen nodded his head in agreement, Mu Rong Zhan can be considered a good man since he still cared about his own family even while death stood before him. Because of this, Jiang Chen decided to give him a quick death.
Bang!
Jiang Chen attacked without any sympathy, striking his palm against Mu Rong Zhan’s. Mu Rong Zhan’s vision blurred, and he fell straight onto the ground. Finally, one of the two Fragrant Sky city’s tigers had died.
Jiang Chen killed Mu Rong Zhan because he didn’t want to give his enemies any chances. As for whether or not he will let his family go, that has nothing to do with Mu Rong Zhan anymore.
“Chief!”
“Dad!”
All of the men from the Mu Rong family were screaming, amongst them were two of Mu Rong Zhan’s children. They looked at Jiang Chen with hatred. In their eyes, Jiang Chen was a killer, a killer that wouldn’t even blink when he killed someone.
Jiang Chen still had a calm look on his face, this kind of image wouldn’t do him any harm. Cruelty was the best word to describe this world of cultivation, the weak was easy prey for the strong. In Jiang Chen’s world, an enemy will always be an enemy; he can only destroy them. If you show your enemies mercy, then you will only experience great pain.
“Sigh…”
Jiang Zhen Hai sighed, he felt a little lost because after all these years of fighting with Mu Rong Zhan, it had now come to an end.
“Chen’er, now that the Mu Rong family is destroyed, what are you going to do with these people?”
Jiang Zhen Hai asked.
The warriors from the Mu Rong family looked at Jiang Chen, their destinies were in the hands of this little demon lord whose words will decide their fate.
“Those whose surname is Mu Rong will have their cultivation base destroyed while the rest will break one of their own arms and be chased out of Fragrant Sky city, never being allowed back into the city.”
Jiang Chen said coldly, with this he had decided the destinies of all these men.
