Displeasure appeared on the faces of Princess Yun Yu and Xuan Yi because this affair was becoming more complex, and it was especially the case for Xuan Yi. He assumed that since a Star Venerable like Jiang Chen dared to act so arrogantly, he obviously didn’t know how the word death was spelled.
“Since your swords landed in someone else’s hand, they now belong to them. Your skill is low. Yet, you are trying to depend upon someone else’s influence to retrieve them, aren’t you?”
When Princess Yun Yu discerned that Xuan Yi wasn’t happy, her eyes lit up. She had assumed that Jiang Chen depended on her influence to ask for the swords.
“It turns out that there is still such an argument.” Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and looked at the princess. The next second, he disappeared from his former place and escaped into the void. The precious sword that had hung on Princess Yun Yu’s waist was stolen, and no one managed to react in time.
“Void Escape Technique!”
The crowd went into an uproar, and then they witnessed Jiang Chen appearing in his former place, playing with the princess’s sword.”
“Does this sword also belong to me now?” Jiang Chen said.
When the same argument was used against Princess Yun Yu, she couldn’t accept it. “You are really courting death. According to our Ancient Race’s rules, if our possessions are stolen, we will use our fists to take them back,” Princess Yun Yu spoke, and her killing intent was apparent in her tone.
“I got it! You are Tian Chen, who killed the Divine Recluse Clan members? May I ask whether you are aware that you can’t use external power in the second area?” Xuan Yi, who had been pondered over this, came back to his senses. If Jiang Chen was really that person, it was easy to understand why a Star Venerable was acting arrogantly in front of a group of Martial Emperors. After all, he was someone who could repel even Tian Weiyi. But it must be known that he couldn’t use what he had depended upon in the second area.
“Is he the guy who possesses a Saint Aura?”
“According to what Yao Zhiya said, his external power even injured Tian Weiyi.”
“The Divine Recluse Clan has even stated that if he ever shows himself there, they will surely kill him.”
The members of the sword thieves team started discussing this matter. The woman and man, Ruo Han and You Mu, did not expect that they had ended up stealing the possessions of such an influential person.
“If I had known this earlier, I would have killed myself.” Ruo Han regretted her actions. But, she still had an opportunity for resolving this matter. They didn’t need to attack Jiang Chen because Princess Yun Yu’s sword was still in his hands.
“If you give back that sword to Princess Yun Yu, I will give you back this sword,” Ruo Han chuckled to herself and stated vicious words that would help worsen the conflict between Jiang Chen and Princess Yun Yu and which would let people assume that Jiang Chen had stolen the sword for himself.
“I will take back my sword by myself. As for the sword in your hand, you can take it back because you won’t need to return anything to a dead man,” Princess Yun Yu said.
Upon witnessing Princess Yun Yu expressing her resolve to kill Jiang Chen, Ye Xue stood beside Jiang Chen without the least bit of hesitation. Princess Yun Yu was surprised by this, and it was only then that she realized that the relationship between them was anything but simple. “Ye Xue, do you want to affront the royal family? Are you aware of such action’s consequences? No one can protect you then,” Princess Yun Yu slandered Ye Xue, because she wanted to dispose of her too.
Ye Xue’s only response was silence. She wouldn’t waste her breath on such a person.
Jiang Chen desired to know the relationship between the Ice and Water Spirit Clans, and why Ye Xue had come here. However, it was obvious that it would only be possible after he had dealt with the trouble in front of him.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Upon witnessing Ye Xue’s manner, Princess Yun Yu wasn’t angered. Instead, she chuckled and sized up Jiang Chen. “I didn’t expect that the man fancied by someone like you with a Supreme Venerable Spirit Heart has nothing good about him, and he’s even a human.” Princess Yun Yu was quite jealous of Ye Xue, and after she saw her beloved man’s current state, she felt quite delighted.
“It seems like I have disgraced you,” Jiang Chen said jokingly when he witnessed Princess Yun Yu’s actions.
Ye Xue rolled her eyes at him. This was a simple movement, yet it was still so captivating, and all the men here were jealous of Jiang Chen and wished that she had rolled her eyes at them.
“Princess, let me deal with this guy.”
You Mu, who was captivated by Ye Xue’s appearance, couldn’t accept this, and he wanted to kill Jiang Chen with his own hands.
Princess Yun Yu didn’t want to agree, but, as she pondered it, she felt as if Jiang Chen was killed by someone like You Mu, it make Ye Xue’s man seem even more worthless. This was why she agreed.
“Ye Xue, let me see how amazing is your Supreme Venerable Spirit Heart,” Princess Yun Yu said.
“She’s trying to trick you with her words, and she wants you to attack her so that she can get a good excuse to kill you.” The white-haired man used a sound transmission to warn Ye Xue.
Ye Xue thanked the white-haired man for his good intentions, before she questioned Jiang Chen calmly, “Will you fight?”
“Let’s fight,” Jiang Chen gave a simple reply.
“I’m probably not a match for her, but I believe that you won’t let me sustain any injuries,” Ye Xue said.
“Do you even need to ask such a question?” Jiang Chen asked back.
“You can’t use external power in the second area, and it’s only both of you here.” Xuan Yi who had spoken previously and been ignored, warned them once again.
“So what?” Jiang Chen pulled out the Red Cloud Sword and pointed it at You Mu. He said, “It isn’t like I haven’t killed average Martial Emperors.”
“Die!” You Mu was irritated by such words, and he waved his blade in the air.
You Mu’s power was on the same level as Xie Yu, and he was also at the Martial Emperor Realm’s intermediate stage. However, when Jiang Chen defeated Xie Yu, the only spectators were Wan Renlong and Yao Zhiyan. People thought that Xie Yu had been killed by Yao Zhiyan, and that was why the news of his defeat to Jiang Chen didn’t spread. You Mu wouldn’t have made such a stupid decision if he had known about it.
Even though the magical clone was still a Star Venerable, its current state was more powerful than Jiang Chen’s state when he defeated Xie Yu.
“Get lost!” Jiang Chen didn’t use any techniques to contend against a Martial Emperor as people expected. He just raised his hand and slapped the blade. Even Ye Xue, who trusted him the most, wavered then, let alone other people.
“Ignorant!”
You Mu felt like Jiang Chen was just a madman since he dared to block a blade strike empty-handed. When the blade fell toward Jiang Chen, lightning appeared in his palm. It was a ball of lightning as big as a fist and had electric arcs flickering around it.
According to people’s knowledge about lightning, the might of such a small lump of lightning wouldn’t be great. However, they didn’t know or understand about the Heavenly God Lightning. The blade was crushed to pieces by Jiang Chen’s palm, while an intense light beam shot out of the lightning ball. It broke You Mu’s defenses and penetrated his chest.
Ruo Han and the others couldn’t help but cry out sharply, while Xuan Yi and Princess Yun Yu were dumbfounded. The intermediate-stage Martial Emperor, You Mu, was killed by a Star Venerable just like this? Moreover, isn’t this the second area, where external power couldn’t be used?
“Why, why, was it like this?” You Mu couldn’t understand this, and his last question before his death was, “Was the Star Venerable Realm above the Martial Emperor Realm?”
“No!” Ruo Han cried out sadly, and it could be discerned from this that they had a close relationship.
“I have already said that if you don’t return the sword, awful matters will befall you.” Jiang Chen swept Ruo Han with his gaze.
Ruo Han’s anger disappeared completely, and she felt like she had fallen in an ice hole.
“It’s time for you to come to take back your sword.” Jiang Chen looked once again at Princess Yun Yu, and he threw her precious sword in the air.mJiang Chen didn’t wait for Princess Yun Yu to catch it, and he thrust his palm at it. He used the Heavenly God Lightning to break that Doctrine Sword into several pieces. A crisp sound like that of shattered glass echoed from the Doctrine Sword.
At that moment, no one dared to breathe loudly, and that was why such a sound seemed ear-piercing.
“Don’t say that I haven’t given you a chance. If you apologize to Ye Xue, I will forgive your previous rude and disrespectful remarks,” Jiang Chen spoke earnestly, and he didn’t forget to add, “You have only a single chance.”
