Chapter 2335: Chapter 2339: Who Is Truly Unreasonable?
Buzz!
The Dao Rhythm infused into the Eight Trigrams diagram below, and the violently trembling diagram instantly stabilized and fell with a roar.
Rumble!
A huge explosion echoed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Boom! Crack!
Crack, crack, crack!
A violent Qi Force spread indiscriminately in all directions, causing the trees within a radius of several hundred meters to collapse, instantly turning the entire area into a vacuum.
Swish, swish, swish!
Dozens of figures appeared in the air, Elder Meng and the others with extremely grim expressions, staring fixedly at the pale, slender figure.
Jiang Chen glanced at Elder Meng and the others, with a mocking smile, gave Hu Yiqiu and the others at his side a reassuring look, then turned to Lu Zhichen and Su Qingluan, who were frowning, "Elders, rest assured, I know the limits, these people won’t die!"
Whew!
Su Qingluan let out a long breath, glaring at Jiang Chen: "You brat, you always scare people like this, three days ago when we couldn’t probe you acted, and now again, if these students die here, how do you plan to explain yourself."
"Not likely, although they joined forces against our academy and used such despicable means, their crime isn’t enough for death. Letting them be eliminated is enough to teach them a lesson!"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, spoke softly, and looked down at the massive billow of dust below.
Su Qingluan and Lu Zhichen both paused for a moment, then shook their heads with slight amusement.
They had both been influenced by that Blood Fiend Aura before, worried that Jiang Chen would kill directly. Looking back now, of all the students eliminated by him, it seems none were in real danger of death, and even severe injuries were rare.
Breathing a slight sigh of relief, the two spread their Divine Sense to sweep the area below and were instantly completely at ease.
By now, the dust had also dissipated, revealing the figures of more than fifty students below.
At this moment, all these fifty-odd people lay on the ground, their faces extremely pale, blood continuously seeping from the corners of their mouths, their aura weak and disheartened, with even those in the Mid Divine Infant Realm all having fainted.
Swoosh!
Jiang Chen’s figure flickered, landing directly among the crowd, and began collecting the Space Rings from their hands one by one.
Elder Meng and the others looked ashen, staring fixedly at the figure collecting rings, the chill in their eyes almost turning into Ice Crystals.
"Student Jiang, please show mercy!"
When Jiang Chen was about to remove a Space Ring from the hand of a student in a golden robe, a shout echoed from the sky.
Jiang Chen paused, glanced up at Jin Shan, who had spoken, and turned to Hu Yiqiu beside him: "Master, did someone from their academy attack our students?"
Jin Shan’s expression changed abruptly, glanced at Hu Yiqiu, opened his mouth, but then closed it again.
When Jin Shan spoke, the other elders’ eyes all showed a glimmer of hope, but upon hearing Jiang Chen’s question akin to Hu Yiqiu’s earlier one, their hearts all sank.
"Two of our academy’s students were eliminated by people from their academy!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke blandly.
"If they attacked, then they must bear the consequence of their actions!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Jin Shan, unceremoniously taking the ring from the hand of the student in the golden robe.
"Jiang Chen, do you realize that eliminating all the students here will attract numerous powerful enemies to your Changlin Academy?"
Elder Meng’s eyes glimmered as he spoke grimly.
"Powerful enemies? Our Changlin Academy has already faced annihilation battles twice, what more powerful enemies are there to fear? Dare you destroy our Changlin Academy? Can you field a force like last time, with two Integration Realm Peak and dozens of Integration Path experts?"
Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile, mocking as he looked at Elder Meng.
"What!? Two Integration Realm Peak experts!?"
"Dozens of Integration Path experts? How is this possible!?"
"The force that attacked Changlin Academy was that formidable?"
Elder Meng and the others all changed their expressions, revealing incredulity in their eyes.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Just then, six immense auras soared into the sky, as Hu Yiqiu and five others fully unleashed their Late Integration Realm auras.
"If any of you wish to target Jiang Chen or retaliate against our Changlin Academy over this assessment, our Changlin Academy will accept it. However, let me remind you, during this assessment, it’s your eliminated students that paid the price, but outside, it will be the destruction of your academy that is the price, and I hope you can bear it!"
Li Qingzhu spoke coldly.
This declaration couldn’t be made by Hu Yiqiu or anyone else. Jian Cangqiong wasn’t present, so this declaration should naturally be made by Li Qingzhu. She is one of the four great elders and also Jian Cangqiong’s wife, combining these two identities, no one is more suited to represent Changlin Academy here.
"Late Integration Realm!?"
"They’ve all reached Late Integration Realm?!"
"If they’re all there, then Jian Cangqiong must be too..."
"Seven Late Integration Realm experts, such a lineup can already rival some of the slightly weaker advanced academies!"
The elders’ expressions changed drastically, looking incredulously at Hu Yiqiu and the others, never expecting that the four great elders and two supervisory elders of Changlin Academy had all reached Late Integration Realm.
Such a lineup is indeed capable of annihilating their academies!
Su Qingluan and Lu Zhichen exchanged glances and remained silent.
This time, Qing Hai Academy and other Small Alliance academies indeed went too far, and Hu Yiqiu and the others intimidating them a bit is understandable. The two also understood, these academies are unlikely to annihilate each other, and if it really happened, the Changling Main Court wouldn’t stand by.
"Is this how your Changlin Academy likes to oppress others with force?"
Elder Meng’s eyes flickered as he shouted and turned to Su Qingluan and Lu Zhichen: "Are you just going to let them bully our numerous academies so brutally and unreasonably?"
"Brutally unreasonable? That’s rich, isn’t it? When you were targeting our Changlin Academy, did you consider whether you were being brutally unreasonable? When you bullied us with numbers, did you consider whether it was brutally unreasonable?"
A mocking voice sounded, Jiang Chen regarded Elder Meng coldly:
"Now that your own academy has suffered heavy losses, you’re shifting the blame onto us?"
"What exactly did my master and the others do to be unreasonable? They merely unleashed their auras, did they attack you?"
"And what about you? You not only had people attempt to attack me during the assessment, but also condoned students bullying female students, and even used attacks that harmed the Divine Infant. If unleashing their aura is unreasonable, then what do your actions amount to?"
The elders’ faces all froze, Jiang Chen’s words revealed things they were well aware of, and for a moment, they all fell silent.
