Chapter 72

Jiang Chen's words, carrying a faint soul fluctuation, made Liang Dong shudder, and he refocused his gaze on the young man in white before him.

"Who are you?"

Liang Dong asked.

"Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen calmly stated his name, a plan already forming in his mind.

"That guy with the big yellow dog must be up to no good. He's definitely an accomplice of the big yellow dog. Let's kill them both."

One person said with malice.

"You'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, you'll end up like those three people—Chen Shuang, Ruan Ling, and that Xiao Hua. They were all killed by me."

Jiang Chen said indifferently.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the four people immediately exclaimed in shock, unable to resist carefully examining the young man in white before them.

"Kid, you probably don't know who we are. Let me tell you, we are from the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you dare to kill someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect, you won't have a place to live in all of Qizhou. No one in heaven or earth can save you."

The mid-Dan Realm disciple said arrogantly.

"Good, very good. Jiang Chen, I don't care who you are or where you come from. If you dare to kill someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect, you must die. Today, both you and the big yellow dog will die. As for this beauty, I will take good care of her."

Liang Dong's face was cold, and when he saw Yan Chenyu, a lustful look appeared in his eyes.

"You must not know what these words will bring you."

Jiang Chen's gaze was already very cold, and he had already sentenced Liang Dong to death in his heart.

"Hmph! Kill him."

Liang Dong coldly snorted and decisively gave the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two early-Dan Realm disciples' auras surged, and they pounced at Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen shook his head. Two early-Dan Realm disciples were simply asking for death.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen moved, his body slightly flickering, and he shot forward like a white light, instantly reaching the two men.

Jiang Chen's speed was extremely fast, and he pointed two fingers like lightning, each index finger touching the center of the two men's foreheads. The two men's originally powerful auras instantly vanished, and their bodies stiffened, unable to move.

Jiang Chen casually pushed them, and they fell backward, landing on the ground with a thud. Two bloody holes appeared on their foreheads, and dark red blood continued to gush out. The two men's eyes were wide open, filled with the fear of death.

Sigh~

Seeing this, Liang Dong and the other mid-Dan Realm disciple couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, and their gazes toward Jiang Chen completely changed.

The two men on the ground were after all mid-Dan Realm experts. Even Liang Dong couldn't easily kill them with such ease. This situation only meant one thing: the young man before them was extremely powerful.

The two men then remembered that this young man had killed Chen Shuang, who was a mid-Dan Realm expert and possessed a low-grade battle soldier, and was still killed by Jiang Chen.

"Ha ha, see that? This is the outcome. If you oppose me, it will be even worse. You'll die without a trace."

The big yellow dog laughed cruelly, running to the two bodies and stomping on their heads with his hard paws, turning them into a bloody mist. The big yellow dog's brutality was unmatched.

"Ridiculous! Jiang Chen, do you know what you're doing?"

Liang Dong shouted, unable to believe his eyes. In Qizhou, no one had ever dared to openly kill Heavenly Sword Sect disciples so brazenly. It was sheer audacity.

"Are you saying only you are allowed to kill me?"

Jiang Chen sneered, taking steps toward Liang Dong and the other man. He exuded a faint aura of a superior, and just one glance made the two men feel like they wanted to submit.

Liang Dong was still somewhat better, but the mid-Dan Realm disciple was already trembling all over. After Jiang Chen advanced to the human Dan Realm, he was far beyond the two men.

"Liang Senior Brother, what should we do?"

The man asked nervously.

"Hmph! Don't be afraid. I think this kid is only in the early-Dan Realm and is no match for me."

Liang Dong coldly snorted, his arm trembling as he threw a sword with a brilliant glow. The sword, like a snake, lunged at Jiang Chen.

"Pathetic."

Jiang Chen casually pointed a finger, and a golden finger, carrying an irresistible force, shot toward Liang Dong.

"What?"

Liang Dong let out a cry of shock, sensing a vast energy from the golden finger, like a mountain pressing down on him. This was absolute suppression, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

"Go all out, Sword Breaking Technique."

Liang Dong gritted his teeth, using the Heavenly Sword Sect's sword technique. The sword made a swishing sound as it slashed toward the golden finger.

Boom!

A deafening explosion. The golden finger and the sword collided. Despite Liang Dong's best efforts, he couldn't withstand the power of the Six Yang Mystic Finger.

Liang Dong was thrown back, his back slamming into a tree over ten zhang away. The tree snapped, and Liang Dong fell to the ground, coughing up blood. His long sword was shaken out of his hand, landing a zhang away.

Ah~

Liang Dong coughed up more blood, with bits of internal organs mixed in, showing the severity of his injuries. At this moment, even the human Dan in his qi sea had cracks.

Jiang Chen walked step by step to Liang Dong, bent down, and picked up the long sword, which turned out to be a low-grade battle soldier.

"Let... let me go."

Liang Dong slowly raised his head, pleading. No one wanted to die, especially when he had a bright future ahead.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen casually swung the sword, slicing across his face and destroying his eyes.

Ah...

Liang Dong's body convulsed, and he let out a piercing scream, his hands covering his bleeding eyes, crying out in agony: "My eyes, my eyes, you've destroyed my eyes."

"I just wanted you to taste the feeling of blindness. Now that you've tasted it, you can die."

Jiang Chen showed no mercy, stabbing the sword through Liang Dong's neck, ending his scream. Jiang Chen was determined to take his life, and destroying his eyes was a punishment for his disrespect to Yan Chenyu.

After killing Liang Dong, Jiang Chen turned to the other man, who was trembling in fear, his face pale, and looked at Jiang Chen as if he were a devil. Even a casual glance from Jiang Chen made him shudder.

"Don't, don't kill me. I don't want to die."

The man fell to his knees, showing no backbone. In fact, under the faint aura of a superior from Jiang Chen, he couldn't resist even if he wanted to.

"Looking at you, I'd dirty my hands by killing you."

Jiang Chen spat.

"You're right, killing me would dirty your hands. Just let me go, treat me like a fart."

The man kowtowed repeatedly, hearing Jiang Chen say that killing him would dirty his hands, which was clearly an insult, but he was overjoyed, thinking it was a compliment.

"You're a disgrace, you piece of shit."

The big yellow dog sneered: "Kid, move aside, let me kick his head in."

Hearing about his head being kicked in, the man burst into tears, crying and snotting, and even wet his pants. A proud outer disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect was reduced to this.

"Get lost."

Jiang Chen frowned and coldly ordered.

"What?"

The man shuddered, looking at Jiang Chen in shock, not understanding what he meant. How could he be let go so easily?

"Get out of my sight before I change my mind."

Jiang Chen looked at him with disgust.

"Yes, yes."

The disciple, feeling like he had been granted a reprieve, scrambled away, running as fast as he could out of the mountain range. This was a matter of life and death, and he couldn't be any faster.

"Kid, why did you let him go? You killed Heavenly Sword Sect members in front of him and then let him go. The Heavenly Sword Sect won't let you off. What were you thinking?"

The big yellow dog was puzzled. This didn't seem like Jiang Chen's style.

"You don't understand."

Jiang Chen glared at the big yellow dog: "With you around, the Heavenly Sword Sect won't let me off anyway. If I didn't let him go, the Heavenly Sword Sect would send more people to search for them. If they hadn't met us, they would have eventually found Chicheng, and all the news would have leaked."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yan Chenyu instantly understood and felt a wave of fear: "Brother Jiang Chen is right. If that happened, the Heavenly Sword Sect would blame the Yan family and the Jiang family. With their strength, they couldn't possibly stand up to the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"I must ensure the peace of Chicheng. By letting him go, the Heavenly Sword Sect will focus on me and you, not on Chicheng. I can bear the Heavenly Sword Sect, but the Yan family and the Jiang family can't."

Jiang Chen's expression was solemn. This was the fundamental reason for letting the man go. If he hadn't, the Heavenly Sword Sect would continue to send people, eventually finding Chicheng. By letting him go, everything would fall on his shoulders.

"Good, you have guts."

The big yellow dog praised Jiang Chen: "But this hasn't even reached Qizhou, and you're already at odds with the Heavenly Sword Sect. Your future won't be easy."

"If I wanted a peaceful life, I wouldn't have come to Qizhou. I would have stayed in Tianxiang City as a young master, living a carefree life."

Jiang Chen smiled: "Let's go. Another thousand miles, and we'll be out of the Origin Mountain Range, fully in Qizhou territory."

Jiang Chen led Yan Chenyu and the big yellow dog forward. Yan Chenyu's beautiful eyes kept glancing at Jiang Chen, feeling very happy.

This was the kind of man she wanted, a true hero in her heart, handsome, responsible, and powerful.

A thousand miles was nothing for the three of them. There were no more dangerous beasts in the outer part of the mountain range, so they only took two hours to completely leave the Origin Mountain Range.
