It appeared that this woman hadn’t come to meet with Ye Xue because she was attracted to her. She was looking for answers.
The woman’s fiance had been distracted and dismissive. He’d even broken off their engagement before she could figure out what had happened.
She only learned the reason from him after persistent questioning.
It was because he’d seen Ye Xue once accidentally. A single glimpse of her beauty had been burned into his mind forever. Those were her ex-fiance’s exact words.
As for the reason for abandoning her, he’d said his life would be meaningless if he couldn’t marry a woman as beautiful as Ye Xue.
It was unacceptable to her, who had always been proud of her own good looks. She’d wanted to see for herself what Ye Xue looked like. She knew she’d lost completely the first moment she’d laid eyes on Ye Xue.
Then just as she was about to leave, Jiang Chen had showed up and the incident previously described had taken place.
It had brought some comfort to this woman.
Because as far as she could see there was nothing extraordinary about Jiang Chen but his young handsome looks.
She’d disdained Ye Xue for being shallow and falling for this type of young man.
She’d really wanted to summon her ex-fiance here just so he would know what kind of woman Ye Xue was.
“Go ahead.” The man from the Fire Spirits hadn’t given up just yet.
He was very vague, and it was unclear whether he wanted Ye Xue or Jiang Chen to go ahead and fight him. Or maybe, anyone would do.
Chu Fei pulled himself together, embittered.
The vibe on the plaza suddenly became tense.
Ye Xue’s face turned cold and unapproachable again. She wanted to take care of these three people.
“Let me do it. From now on, this so-called test doesn’t have to continue anymore. Anyone upset about this can come and see me.”
The first part of Jiang Chen’s remarks was to Ye Xue, while the second half was addressed to the masters of the Icy Spirit.
People from the Icy Spirits glanced questioningly at one another. They knew only one person could make Ye Xue behave this way. But that person had disappeared three years ago. Besides, this person’s age didn’t fit either.
As for his state, no one was able to tell Jiang Chen’s state right now so that question was a nonstarter anyway.
“You sound very arrogant,” Chu Fei said coldly.
“You three, come at me together.” Jiang Chen was going to be even more arrogant. He didn’t have time to deal with them one by one.
“What?” Ye Qing doubted that she’d really heard that.
Chu Fei was the weakest one among the three people left. Even so, he was still a Peak Martial Arts Saint, not much weaker than a titled martial arts practitioner.
The woman stopped laughing. She glanced at Jiang Chen with contempt.
The man from the Fire Spirits jumped in straightforwardly and flew in midair above the Ice City. His whole body was spewing brilliant flames that swept away the cold air.
“Sky-burning Purple Flame?”
Jiang Chen recognized right away that his opponent was mobilizing the Sky-burning Purple Flame, one of the four Heavenly Fires.
Adding to this, his identity as a member of the Fire Spirits, definitely enhanced his ability.
The Sky-burning Purple Flame allegedly had the power to burn the sky and boil the sea.
“Wind!” Riding the wind, the woman rose with a resonant howl.
“Inheritance of the phoenix blood? She is from the Wind Spirits and has an inheritance of the blood?” Lots of people exclaimed in surprise.
“She is Xiu! The Spiritual Lady from the Wind Spirits.”
“Her spiritual heart is in King Grade.”
Someone recognized the woman’s identity by combining her skills and background. It was astonishing.
The Wind Spirit referred to by people was not the one that was almost destroyed by Jiang Chen. It was the one from the Spirit Realm.
“Watch out.” Ye Xue was somewhat worried that Jiang Chen was fighting empty-handed without his immortal sword.
She didn’t know much about Jiang Chen’s abilities after three years.
“Don’t worry.” Jiang Chen smiled casually, flying up to the sky.
Chu Fei started to move at the same moment, intending to have a match with Jiang Chen.
He sprinted at full speed and didn’t see Jiang Chen when he’d reached high in the sky. Soon he found out that Jiang Chen was above him.
Chu Fei was stunned, realizing the person in front of him was a formidable rival.
“I won’t start the fight. I’ll give you five minutes. You can attack me all you want. If you can crack my defenses, I lose.” Jiang Chen didn’t want to start the fight. Just as a normal adult wouldn’t take up arms with children.
The whole city was in an uproar after hearing his statement.
Xiu, the Fire Spirits guy, and Chu Fei were all astonished.
Jiang Chen’s hubris was beyond their imagination.
“Let me.” Xiu couldn’t wait, holding a sharp sword that was of the immortal weapons grade. The glowing radiance of the sword was very intimidating.
“Near gale strike!”
Judging by its name, it was obviously not a special movement. Nevertheless, it was the quintessence of Xiu’s power.
The sword blade moved with a howling wind as if it was going to cut open the void.
Jiang Chen stood still. His body started to shine with a pale golden light.
TING!
Under the intense gaze of countless people, the blade stroke on Jiang Chen’s body only made the sound of metal clashing.
Safe and sound, Jiang Chen didn’t even step back.
“Impossible!” Xiu yelled.
“Maybe he’s wearing some kind of armor?”
“I don’t think it’s possible. He’s only wearing a long robe, which would’ve been torn if he had armor inside.”
Anyone with common sense knew Jiang Chen had withstood the attack with his own ability.
“My favorite thing is to crack people’s defenses.” Chu Fei charged headlong.
An electric radiance exuded from his body, with faint thunder being heard overhead. He was an inheritor of the thunder method, and lightning was adept at disarming.
Worst of all, Chu Fei was using the finger method with the power of holy thunder. All the lightning flowed into his fingers and then were condensed into threads.
With one finger pointing at Jiang Chen, the radiance of Chu Fei’s fingers was like materialized lightning that could destroy anything.
Now even Ye Xue’s face turned grave.
Just when everyone thought Jiang Chen would finally humiliate himself and prepare to defend, he was still not moving.
RUMBLE!
The radiance from the finger hit Jiang Chen, making a loud noise. The energy fluctuated and spread around.
Everyone’s eyes got wide after seeing what had happened.
Jiang Chen was still unscathed and unaffected.
“Is it possible that he’s a Venerable Sovereign?”
“A Venerable Sovereign this young? You must be joking!”
“How could he resist this kind of attack if he’s not a Venerable Sovereign?”
The crowd suddenly realized Jiang Chen’s state and were utterly dazed.
On the other hand, some people from the Icy Spirits thought of something, and their faces lightened up.
Maybe Jiang Chen’s age was a little off. But based on the state he’d shown, and considering that three years had passed, his power seemed to be reasonable.
“Sky-burning Formula!” The man from the Fire Spirits had witnessed the other two people’s attempts, knowing he had to use the most powerful technique.
While the power was accumulating terrifyingly, a flaming Fiery Dragon struck and engulfed Jiang Chen.
The magnificent power of the Fiery Dragon was far more advanced than Xiu and Chu Fei’s previous attacks.
Even more, it was a lasting assault that went on for more than ten seconds.
During the process, Jiang Chen didn’t fight back as he’d promised before, despite being bombarded with fire.
EXPLODE!
The man from the Fire Spirits shouted. The whole Fiery Dragon exploded abruptly, with a deafening blast that almost blew a hole in the sky.
The figure of Jiang Chen became undetectable, very likely as broken as the sky.
