As a miserable scream echoed, the pretty woman was burned to death. If one didn’t count her Obscure Yin Finger, she would be vastly inferior to Jiang Chen. While the Obscure Yin Finger was weak and powerless in the face of the Sky-burning Evil Flame.
There wasn’t anyone who sympathized with the pretty woman, who had such a miserable fate, and they all felt like she brought it upon herself.
Even the Elixir Fire Union’s members didn’t dare to show themselves. It was the pretty woman, who tried to kill him first, and they didn’t have any appropriate reason or excuse for intervening.
Moreover, since it seemed like Jiang Chen didn’t plan to look into this matter, they all just heaved a sigh of relief, and didn’t dare to mention it again.
The Sky-burning Evil Flame’s terrifying might deterred all people, and as a light breeze blew over, she was turned into ashes, and didn’t leave anything behind in this world.
“Why did you need to do this?” Chen Xi couldn’t help but shake her head upon witnessing such a murder. She went to Jiang Chen’s side, and inquired about meeting with his master.
Upon witnessing Jiang Chen’s fight on this day, she became more interested in the mysterious expert, who was aware of the events, who occurred five hundred years ago.
“I was preparing for the contest in the past days, and I didn’t contact him,” Jiang Chen said.
“It doesn’t matter, I already planned to stay in the Three Middle Realms for a while, and watch the Title Battle.” Chen Xi wasn’t surprised by this, and just smiled in response.
Jiang Chen’s heart became heavy. It seemed like this woman had sharp senses and a keen power of observation, and it seemed like she already discerned something.
However, since she was determined to meet his master, Jiang Chen started considering what he should do.
Should he ask the Flame Emperor to put on act? He wouldn’t even need to mull over it to figure out that the Flame Emperor, who had a bad temper, would fly into a rage if he asked such a matter.
“I should just take matters slowly,” Jiang Chen said inwardly.
“Miss Chen Xi!”
After they learned of the affair between the Elixir Fire Union and Elixir Association, the Doctrine Palace’s geniuses in the sky, who possessed powerful auras, landed on the ground. They all had the same objective, and they all wanted to befriend Miss Chen Xi.
But, they were still calm and composed, they didn’t immediately show their cordiality, as they were afraid of scaring away the Elixir Emperor’s disciple.
A handsome youth dressed in snow-white clothes, who had an outstanding sword on his back, strode forward.
“Miss Chen Xi, I’m Song Hao, and I’m honored to meet you.” He was refined, courteous, and wore a bright smile. His sword shone in a blazing light rivaling the sun, and it engulfed his whole body.
“His Sword Energy took a tangible form, this is a sign that one Sword Doctrine’s power reached great master level,” Chen Xi thought inwardly.
Song Hao was someone who managed to pass the fourth palace. He wasn’t a Spirit, nor he had any inherited bloodline. He just depended on himself and his sword to make a place for himself among this era’s apex youths.
Chen Xi wasn’t surprised by his actions, and just greeted him with a faint smile.
However, Song Hao unexpectedly quickly averted his gaze from her, and looked at Jiang Chen. He didn’t come here for the Elixir Emperor’s disciple.
“You have the Ancient Sword, don’t you?” He still wore a smile as before, and spoke in the same tone, as if he was just inquiring about a trivial matter.
“The Ancient Sword Authentic Sect!” Jiang Chen suddenly recalled something. When he defeated Situ Feng, the latter stated that he was just passing himself as the Sect Master. He stated that the true Sect Master was another person, and it was Song Hao, who was before him.
Jiang Chen nodded at him, as he wanted to hear what he had to say.
“If the Ancient Sword Sect wants to raise once again, it will need a peerless genius, which can reach the apex while wielding the Ancient Sword, and whose name would resound in the whole world.”
As Song Hao spoke, the Sword Energy both inside and outside his body started fluctuating, and it seemed like he tore the edges of space around him, and formed his own domain.
Jiang Chen’s Sword Doctrine’s power started getting restless. It was unexpectedly triggered by him. Jiang Chen forced himself to keep his calm, and said, “Are you referring to yourself?”
Song Hao didn’t reply to this question. He looked at him with his ardent gaze, and said, “You already have outstanding accomplishments as an alchemist, and you don’t need to aspire to the throne of power.”
“Fine, I understood what do you want to say, but I still won’t let you have the Ancient Sword,” Jiang Chen interrupted him, and spoke calmly.
Song Hao squinted his eyes. A breeze blew over, and his black hair started dancing in the wind, while his sharp facial features were revealed. He pursed up his lips and spoke once again in an ice-cold voice, “The Ancient Sword doesn’t belong to you.”
“There isn’t anyone qualified to state this to me. Don’t forget that it’s the Ancient Sword Sect’s Master who passed it down to me,” Jiang Chen said.
“You will just disgrace the Ancient Sword Sect if you participate in the Title Battle with that sword, and you will also implicate the Ancient Sword Authentic Sect,” Song Hao spoke sharply.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, and cast a glance at him. He said, “What are you up to? Did you come here today to me just to preach such illogical arguments to force me to hand over the Ancient Sword to you.”
Upon hearing this, Song Hao furrowed his brows. He really had such a thought because he was Song Hao, but he didn’t expect that Jiang Chen would be this insensible, and wouldn’t give him due respect. He found himself in an awkward situation.
“Brother Song, this person has a bad and obstinate character like latrine stones. It’s both smelly and hard, it will be useless to try to convince him with words alone.”
Jiang Zhe strode over. He was in glowing spirits, and had the demeanor of a great genius.
“If you want to deal with such a person, you must first break his backbone, and have him lay on the ground like a dead dog, so that he reveals on his loathsome face an expression befitting a weakling like him.” The Wind Spirit Clan’s Wu Ziming wasn’t polite at all, and he started cursing right away.
Several geniuses came over, and exerted their powerful pressure on Jiang Chen. They all had done this because they wouldn’t allow Jiang Chen to get Chen Xi’s attention for himself.
Chen Xi came to Jiang Chen’s side, and said, “Young Master Jiang Chen is my friend, what do you all want to do?”
“Miss Chen Xi, we are just trying to befriend him. Jiang Chen showed an outstanding performance, and he will surely become one of the Elixir World’s big shots in the future.”
The Fire Spirit Clan’s Huo Zhengyu had a hundred and eight fire clouds around him. They were burning with flames, which soared to the firmament. He seemed like the incarnation of the Fire God in the mortal world.
While he stated such words to Chen Xi, another voice echoed near Jiang Chen’s ears.
“Outstanding alchemists are just a support for powerful martial artists. The Elixir Emperor’s disciple isn’t someone the like of you can get close to. You should just take your leave now, and I will then forget about Huo Kun’s matter.”
“An alchemist is in the end just an alchemist, and he mustn’t step into experts world. Quickly leave!”
“Jiang Chen, you will have outstanding achievements in the future, but it’s limited to just spirit elixirs’ aspect. You don’t have a place for you here.”
Many voices echoed near his ears, and even Jiang Chen himself didn’t know who was speaking to him.
Although Jiang Chen’s performance was outstanding, it was still far from enough for people with their status. Jiang Chen could probably become an Elixir Emperor one day, but this was still a matter, which might occur only after three hundred years.
The Elixir Emperor’s disciple was just before them. So, they knew who should they choose.
“You should all get lost!” As those outstanding experts closed in him, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows, and shout angrily.
The plaza immediately descended into silence, and all talented youths stopped in their tracks. They all couldn’t help but suspect what their ears just heard.
The people on the other side, who still didn’t leave and were observing what was going on here, were all shocked. It seemed like Jiang Chen, who took all limelight for him on this day, wasn’t satisfied with his current fame, and unexpectedly still hurled at a group of outstanding geniuses, which had Song Hao and Huo Zhengyu among them.
“Did I mishear it?” The crowd couldn’t help but suspect what their ears just heard.
“My junior brother is really…” Upon witnessing this many experts appearing on the plaza, Xia Yiming realized that the situation’s development was far from encouraging, but who would expect that Jiang Chen would quickly respond back.
“What did you say?” After a moment, all those outstanding geniuses flew into a rage.
Song Hao’s sword energy condensed and turned into a destructive giant sword, which tore the sky apart.
Huo Zhengyu’s one hundred and eight fire clouds started rolling around, and it seemed like a divine fire capable of burning even heaven was condensing with them.
“Do you dare to repeat it once again?” Wu Ziming’s Wind God Ring became even more ferocious than before, and it seemed like it would erupt out at any moment.
“Didn’t you hear it? Do you need me to repeat it again? Fine, just listen clearly. You should all get lost!” Jiang Chen’s expression didn’t change at all, and he was still as overbearing as before while facing those countless geniuses’ pressure. He strode forward, and his towering-mountain like aura erupted out.
