Chapter 2645: Chapter 2648: Elixir of Flesh and Blood
"Mr Jiang isn’t here to take revenge on the Long Family for their targeting?"
Jin Ang looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "Old Jin, am I really that petty? Though they targeted me, they’ve at least stayed within their limits and haven’t openly attacked. The alchemy contest has passed, what meaning does continuing this entanglement have?"
"I see!"
Jin Ang nodded lightly, with a relieved expression in his eyes. If Jiang Chen truly was someone who would use them to kill those trailing behind, he might have been displeased. But doing this to ensure the safety of his senior brothers and master was an embodiment of deep feelings and loyalty.
"They’re here!"
Suddenly, Jin Ang gave a low warning.
Swish!
As soon as the words fell, Jin Ang’s figure flickered and vanished.
Boom!
A great roar erupted ten miles away, the mighty Qi Force transmitted to this side made Jiang Chen feel a sharp pain like being cut by knives.
Jiang Chen raised his head and glanced over there, his eyes turning cold.
"Mr Jiang, watch out for yourself!"
Jin Ming reminded him, his figure flickered and also disappeared, another strong aura emerged from a different direction.
Jin Ang and Jin Ming, one is a Saint Monarch Strong One, the other in the Saint Realm; if it were a crushing battle, it would be manageable. But sensing strong opponents in the same realm, they couldn’t fight near Jiang Chen; just the aftermath of the battle would crush him.
Swish!
A fierce sword light suddenly appeared, attacking Jiang Chen from the nearby forest.
"Bastard! I’ll kill you!"
Lei Ling’er shouted charmingly, raising her hand to block the sword light.
Boom!
The explosive sound rang out, the sword light shattered instantly, Lei Ling’er’s figure flashed into the dense forest.
Boom boom boom!
At the same time, the deep forest erupted with waves of booming sound, two more places burst into fierce combat.
"Lei Wenyuan, Lei Wen Bo, why interfere in this?"
A loud voice came from the scene of fierce combat.
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, glanced in the direction Lei Ling’er left, and warmth emerged in his eyes.
Immediately, Jiang Chen’s gaze turned ice-cold, staring straight into the dense forest before him.
Rustle rustle rustle!
A soft friction sound arose, a figure slowly emerged ten meters before Jiang Chen.
"Meng Changde, you couldn’t resist after all!"
Jiang Chen rose, looking at Meng Changde with an indifferent expression in his eyes.
"Jiang Chen, you deserve to die!"
Meng Changde clenched his teeth, glaring at Jiang Chen: "You killed my disciple, humiliated my father and son, that bastard Hu Yiqiu shattered my Dao seed, condemning me to never ascend to the Unity Realm Stage again; this hatred, this enmity, is irreconcilable!"
"Don’t make it sound so tragic, if you and your disciple hadn’t repeatedly provoked me, you wouldn’t be in this situation today!"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, extending his hand, and a Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapon appeared in his grasp.
"Provoking you, you deserve to die! Hu Yiqiu left a century, how can he come back and still overtake me? You’re just a Divine Infant Realm ant, how can you defeat my disciple? A mere ant repeatedly provoking me, taunting my father, resulting in us being the laughing stock in the academy. All because of you, you deserve to die!"
Meng Changde glared at Jiang Chen with reddened eyes.
Jiang Chen chuckled coldly, no longer arguing with Meng Changde; reasoning with such people was futile.
Glancing around, Jiang Chen spoke indifferently: "Two Saint Monarchs, two Saints, two at Integration Realm Peak, looks like it’s not just you who want to kill me, Meng Youyuan also intends on it? You alone can’t summon Saint Monarch Strong Ones!"
"Hmph! Jiang Chen, don’t try to deceive me, don’t think the little princess and they can come to your rescue; they won’t make it!"
Meng Changde sneered, speaking.
Jiang Chen’s face changed upon hearing, his brows furrowed tightly: "Meng Changde, do you dare lay hands on the little princess? Does your Meng Family want to be annihilated?"
"I have not laid hands on the little princess, but do you really think the royal family is so united? Some don’t wish to see the Crown Prince ascend." Meng Changde sneered coldly, with a sinister expression: "Jiang Chen, you will die horribly, I will peel your skin little by little, turn your flesh into elixir, gift it to Hu Yiqiu as a drink! How do you like this suggestion?"
"Not very much!"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, extending his Divine Sense to perceive the surroundings.
Within a thousand meters, only the two of them were present, but farther, the ongoing fierce combat at Integration Realm Peak was preventing the Divine Sense from probing further.
"I think it’s great; when your flesh elixir is unknowingly consumed by Hu Yiqiu, then let my father tell him it’s brewed from your flesh, Hu Yiqiu’s expression would be wonderful!"
Meng Changde’s eyes displayed a frenzy.
Jiang Chen took a look at Meng Changde, shaking his head gently.
This guy was already insane; from the Inner Court Elder at Integration Realm Peak, Vice Palace Master of the Alchemy Dao Academy, suddenly plunged to the Late Virtual Refinement Realm, unable to ever condense a Dao seed to enter the Integration Realm again; under the huge disparity, his state of mind has collapsed!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, waves emanated, and a dozen figures appeared around Jiang Chen and Meng Changde.
"Damn it, Yuanling Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Qingyang Sect, Zhou Family, what do you intend? Dare touch Mr Jiang, when my Gold-devouring Rat Clan emerges, it’ll be your day of destruction!"
A furious roar came from the distant sky.
The expressions of the dozen figures changed instantly, but none retreated.
Jiang Chen swept his gaze across them, smiling faintly: "Only some Integration Realm experts? No Semi-Saints or Saints among them? Even a Saint Monarch would be nice!"
"Hmph, Jiang Chen, facing death and still boasting!"
A young man stepped beside Meng Changde, speaking coldly: "Because of you, our four forces lost more than one Semi-Saint Elder, we’ll settle this score with you today!"
"I’ve joined Dan Pavilion, if you kill me, aren’t you worried about Canglan City’s wrath?"
Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing things might not be as simple as he imagined. His entry into Dan Pavilion wasn’t a secret; these people would have inquired about his news.
"What about joining Dan Pavilion? Canglan City is controlled by the Great Emperor, not anyone else’s!"
The young man sneered while speaking: "Do you think, by associating with the Crown Prince and Little Princess, no one dares touch you? Jiang Chen, you’re too naive!"
Jiang Chen realized something at these words, a trace of helplessness in his eyes. Am I caught in the vortex of the princes’ struggle for the throne? It should not be! I’m only at the Divine Infant Realm! This much attention on me? Does Canglan Continent follow this trope too? Does the Great Emperor not intervene? It’s too cliched!
Jiang Chen felt somewhat despondent inwardly; we’re all cultivators, why can’t we just cultivate peacefully? Must we vie for power... Okay! Without power, cultivating peacefully might not yield much resources!
