The Brilliant Fighting Master

After Jiang Chen entered the Ice Palace, he was greeted by the sight of some of his acquaintances. One of them was Yun Shou, who claimed that she was his senior sister’s aunt, as well as the Spirit King who had prevented Yun Shou from attacking him. However, it was a pity that he didn’t get to see his senior sister.

“Icy Spirit King, we have come to set the wedding day,” the sacred prince shouted loudly. Everyone in the Ice Palace scowled upon hearing him, which the sacred prince didn’t care about one iota.

Jiang Chen clearly remembered that the saint had once informed him that the Blood Shadow Dynasty wanted his senior sister to marry into their family and live among them. When Jiang Chen heard the sacred prince mention the wedding day, he realized why they had both been invited into the Ice Palace, and his gaze became quite sharp.

“It was agreed that it would be held in three years, and three years have not passed yet,” the Icy Spirit King, who was sitting on a throne made of Mysterious Ice, spoke apathetically.

When Jiang Chen looked over and examined him, he noticed that the Icy Spirit King seemed aloof.

“Three years are too long to wait.” The sacred prince of the Blood Shadow Dynasty was carefree and spoke bluntly.

Jiang Chen recalled what the Spirit King had told him, that his senior sister had made a three years’ agreement with them so that they wouldn’t kill the Icy Spirit King.

“I will frankly inform you that we don’t plan to marry off Xue’er and send her into a distant land,” the Spirit King said. After the Icy Spirit King spoke, the hall’s ambiance became grave, and all members of the Blood Shadow Dynasty and the Ice Spirit Clan looked at each other nervously.

“You are going to go back on it?” The sacred prince asked angrily.

“It’s just that Xue’er already has a beloved and can’t accept anyone else. If we force her, she would rather kill herself than comply,” Yun Shou, who stood next to the throne, spoke. Two years had passed, but Yun Shou’s appearance hadn’t changed much. It seemed to Jiang Chen as if it was only the day before that she had tried to kill him.

“Who is that person? Since he dared to snatch my woman, I will tear him to shreds.”

The sacred prince had a fiery temper and wasn’t very mature, which was why he was fooled by the Icy Spirit King’s excuse. The Icy Spirit King didn’t reply and just looked at Jiang Chen like all other people here.

“Is this true?” The sacred prince didn’t expect that the person he wanted to tear to shreds was just in front of him. “A human? Did your Ice Spirit Clan degenerate to such a level?” This was the thing that he found most repugnant.

“Jiang Chen, why did you come here today?” The Icy Spirit King didn’t reply to the sacred prince and just looked at Jiang Chen and asked calmly.

Jiang Chen was taken aback by this. He had already considered this with Elder Bing Shan, and he had expected such a situation. However, according to the plan, he would just state his aims, offer the betrothal gift, and everything would be perfect. His plan didn’t include the appearance of the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s members.

“Jiang Chen!” Yao Yuntong wanted to warn him, but she was pulled back by her father.

The Ice Spirit Clan probably wanted to use Jiang Chen to deal with the Blood Shadow Dynasty. However, it might not be necessarily the case.

“I came here to give a marriage proposal!” Jiang Chen raised his head and stuck out his chest. He didn’t pay any attention to the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s members’ ferocious gazes, and he spoke loudly.

“The Ice Spirit Clan had never allowed a spiritual lady to be with a human.” The Icy Spirit King didn’t seem surprised by what Jiang Chen said. “However, everything has an exception, and since you have received the Invincible God of War title, you are surely a dragon among men. What is more important is that since Xue’er is infatuated with you, it isn’t impossible for us to consider it as long as you are sincere.”

Upon hearing him, Jiang Chen felt like all his worries throughout the entire journey were needless. Elder Bing Shan had probably gone into seclusion because he got a sudden moment of enlightenment, and everything would proceed as they had planned, and he just had to take out the betrothal gift.

Roar!

The sacred prince of the Blood Shadow Dynasty flew into a rage, and his veins popped out. “Ice Spirit Clan, you want to defy me! Do you want to end up exterminated?” The sacred prince roared loudly several times as if he had just suffered a great humiliation.

“You have come to our Ice Palace and spoken rudely. Now, you are insulting my royal father, and you don’t show him any respect. Do you really think that our Ice Spirit Clan’s members are all just useless trash?” The Ice Spirit Clan’s saint strode forward, speaking angrily.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you? If I had participated in the Title Battle, the Future Spirit Emperor’s title wouldn’t have been gotten by a woman like you.” A golden spear appeared in the hands of the sacred prince, and its head shone in with scalding light, which caused the ice beneath their feet to start cracking.

“Sacred prince, you mustn’t do this!” The bald man quickly rushed over and stopped him. He said loudly, “Icy Spirit King, we had already set an engagement between us, and it will be disrespectful for you to go back on it.”

“In the past, you suddenly said that you wanted us to marry our clan’s spiritual lady into your family. I accepted it and asked you to give us three years. I did my utmost and tried to persuade Xue’er. However, she would rather die than comply, and she’s deeply in love with Jiang Chen. Do you want me to send a corpse to the Blood Shadow Dynasty? Is this what’s respectful in your eyes?”

The bald man wouldn’t be conned like the sacred prince, and he said, “It’s an insult for the Blood Shadow Dynasty that your Ice Spirit Clan has chosen a human. If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation, our dynasty won’t drop this matter.”

“Let’s just wage war on them, and erase the Ice Spirit Clan from the Eight Great Spirit Clans,” the sacred prince shouted from behind the bald man’s back.

“Jiang Chen is the Invincible God of War, and he has gotten the Title Palace’s recognition. He’s the greatest man throughout all ages and isn’t an ordinary human.” The Icy Spirit King continued, “If you want, we can set a battle between Jiang Chen and the sacred prince, and let them compete against each other. I believe that no one will criticize you after that.”

“Just come at me! Who is afraid of you?” That was just what the sacred prince had hoped for. All he really wanted was to stamp Jiang Chen beneath his feet. The bald man put his hand on the sacred prince’s shoulder and restrained him. He said in a deep voice, “The sacred prince is just 14 years old, while Jiang Chen is already over 20. Even with that, there still is only a little disparity between them. What is more important is that the sacred prince’s status and backer aren’t something that Jiang Chen can rival. Icy Spirit King, you are a great and wise king with great skills, and you shouldn’t be oblivious to this. Yet, you have still chosen a human. Moreover, just look at him today. Did you ever witness someone going into one of the Eight Great Clans for a marriage proposal with such a miserable group?” The bald man had a sharp tone, and he spoke without stopping. Moreover, he pointed out Jiang Chen’s weaknesses. There are five Spirit Emperors among our group today, and there are many experts also. Yet, you have chosen a person who has brought only two humans with him. He, he, our emperor will surely bear this matter in mind.”

The Icy Spirit King found himself at a loss for words, and the rest of the people looked at Jiang Chen. People had already pointed Jiang Chen’s weaknesses, and whether his marriage proposal would succeed or not depended upon his performance.

“Does the marriage proposal’s group represent everything?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Aren’t you talking drivel? It represents a person’s ability, influence, and potential. So, what do you have?” The Blood Shadow Dynasty had a feud with Yao Tianshi and didn’t fear to offend him, which was why they had spoken so rudely.

“How can you ascertain that my marriage proposal’s group is just what you have seen with your eyes?” Jiang Chen said mockingly.

“What? So, you want to say that most of them are still on the road, and they will reach this place after four or five years?” The sacred prince said mockingly.

However, the Guard General suddenly came inside with his face filled with shock.

“What is the matter?” The Icy Spirit King asked.

“Spirit King…” Before the Guard General could finish his speech, everyone in the hall clearly heard the sound of people flying through the air.

A vigorous voice echoed in the hall and reached everyone’s ears. “Spirit king, I’m Shen Junlin, and I have come here to pay you a visit along with the Heaven Alchemist, Jiang Chen.”

“Shen Junlin?”

Everyone was shocked, including the bald man. Shen Junlin was ranked sixth in all the Three Middle Realms’ ranking list and was titled the Fist King. Even the Spirit Clans couldn’t look down upon such a great man.
