Chapter 2460: Chapter 2463: So It Was Him
Lei Bao’s expression suddenly changed as he glanced at the people from Lei Yang Village. A tremor went through his heart because from their eyes, he saw suspicion, and it dawned on him that Jiang Chen’s words had pushed him into a difficult position.
If he sent others to kill Jiang Chen, they might feel he was sending them to their deaths. But if he went himself, Lei Bao felt a little daunted.
"Jiang Chen, do you really want to offend our Lei Yang Village? Our village is one of the eight major villages of the Abandoned Plains, and we have been operating here for over a hundred years. If I order a full village pursuit, none of you will survive! Hand over the Breeze Sweeping Knife, and we can let bygones be bygones!"
Lei Bao didn’t have the guts to kill Jiang Chen himself, so he could only shout loudly.
"Heh heh!"
Jiang Chen sneered and tilted his head to glance at Yan Li: "Senior Yan Li, can you kill him?"
"As long as no one else interferes, there will definitely be no problem!"
Yan Li shouted in a low voice, his attacks becoming even more fierce.
Jiang Chen’s killing of Lei Ying had provoked him. Answering Jiang Chen’s question, he did not hesitate at all; if he couldn’t kill, wouldn’t that make him less than a cultivator at the Pinnacle of the Divine Spirit Realm?
"Hu Zi, don’t hold back any longer, kill that bastard!"
Jiang Chen shouted as the spiritual power in his apertures gathered in his dantian, and his whole body erupted with immense momentum. His figure flashed and he directly charged towards the people at the edge of the deep pit, shouting: "Since I can’t deceive you all, I’ll just kill you one by one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky-Cleaving Spear appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand again, and a chilling aura instantly emanated from the spear.
"He can still use that move!"
"Run quickly!"
The people of Lei Yang Village were already scared out of their wits. Upon seeing Jiang Chen charging with his spear, they immediately fled in panic towards the town.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
Jiang Chen shouted, chasing at full speed, while instructing Yan Hu and the others: "Hold your enemies, leave the others to me! Kill them all!"
Swoosh!
As his words fell, Jiang Chen had already chased the ten people from Lei Yang Village over ten miles away.
Yan Li and the others each felt a violent tremor in their hearts.
He still had the power to fight?! He could still kill so many people?
Thinking of this, Yan Li, Yan Hu, Yun Hai, and Jin Hu were all provoked. Jiang Chen had already killed two, and was chasing ten more. Could they not even kill one enemy themselves?
"Kill!"
"Lei Bao, prepare to die! Dance of Death!"
"Roaring Thunder Palm!"
A series of loud shouts erupted, and Yan Hu and others launched their strongest attacks.
Boom boom!
Bang bang bang!
The deafening blasts and powerful collisions sounded in quick succession.
On the other side, Jiang Chen continued chasing the ten fleeing Lei Yang Village members, while along the way, several teams noticed this strange scene of one chasing ten.
"Who’s that, not the people from Lei Yang Village?"
"Who’s that kid? So fierce? Chasing ten Lei Yang Village people solo!"
"Look at the panic on their faces, what’s going on?"
"They’re afraid of that young man? Who is that youth?"
A wave of discussions arose on the plains.
About thirty miles from the trade town, an elder and two youths were resting.
The elder wore a loose robe, lazily reclining on the ground without a hint of image consciousness.
The youths, a man and a woman, sat; the man looked handsome, with sword-like brows and tiger eyes, wearing an immaculate blue robe. He occasionally glanced at the woman but dared not be noticed.
The woman wore a tight outfit, accentuating her exquisite figure. Her delicate face exuded a heroic spirit, adding a touch of a valiant woman’s aura.
"Master, please don’t intervene this time. If you do, it defeats the purpose of our training."
The woman glanced at the elder, a hint of coquettish reproach in her eyes.
"Alright, alright, I won’t interfere, I won’t interfere."
The elder chuckled, waving his hand dismissively.
The woman showed a trace of helplessness. They had been in the Abandoned Plains for three days, encountering numerous necro spirits, yet she could count on one hand the times she acted, as the young man and elder had always intervened, which left her feeling quite resigned.
Having returned to the trade town to rest and venturing out again, she had to make a three-point agreement with the elder in advance.
Swish swish swish!
A series of sounds pierced the air, and the three rose simultaneously, looking ahead. In the air, ten figures were fleeing in panic, with one figure wielding a spear in pursuit.
"Humph! Dare to follow again, and I’ll spare no forgiveness!"
Suddenly, the figure chasing from behind stopped, let out a cold snort, and turned back towards where he came.
The ten figures sighed in relief but dared not relax, glancing back while continuing towards the trade town.
"Heh heh! That kid is interesting!"
The elder laughed lightly: "Clearly at the end of his strength, yet he chased ten Integration Path cultivators at their early stage, while he himself is only at the pinnacle of the Divine Spirit Realm. Quite amusing!"
"That voice... sounds somewhat familiar!"
Upon hearing this, the woman carefully observed the retreating figure but only managed to catch a glimpse of a back view. She slightly furrowed her brows and murmured softly.
"It’s Jiang Chen, I remember his voice!"
The man spoke softly, his eyes casting a complicated look at the retreating figure.
"Jiang Chen? Him?"
The woman exclaimed in surprise, her mind conjuring an image of a lean figure, and upon careful comparison, it indeed matched the returning back view perfectly.
"Oh? You two know that young fellow just now?"
The elder slightly startled, looked at the two with curiosity.
The woman nodded lightly, speaking softly: "He’s Hu Yiqiu’s disciple, also a Son of Heavenly Dao. Though I’m not sure if he has consolidated the Great Dao Wheel of Light."
"He’s also the first in this Changling Academy entrance competition, defeating the top contender of the same realm with mid-stage Divine Infant Realm strength."
"Later, after passing through the Spiritual Spring, in three days, he broke through from late-stage Divine Infant Realm to the Divine Infant Realm Peak, then, with his peak strength, defeated an old student of mid-stage Virtual Refinement Realm who came looking for trouble."
"A few days ago, I heard he self-expelled from Changling Academy, and along with him left a new student with a postnatal Thunder Path Taoist Body."
The elder, nodding as he listened, muttered to himself: "Not bad, defeating someone in mid-stage Virtual Refinement with peak Divine Infant Realm strength, this kid’s combat power is extraordinary. Even on our side, there probably aren’t many who could do... huh? He self-expelled from Changling Academy? And took a postnatal Thunder Path Taoist Body with him? Why’s that?"
As the elder spoke, he suddenly realized and looked at the woman in astonishment.
The woman revealed a trace of complex emotion in her eyes: "Because Vice Principal Meng Youyuan attempted to pry into his Sea of Consciousness, while a group of Pill Masters from the Elixir Medicine Pavilion were eyeing his alchemy heritage."
