The Brilliant Fighting Master

The people all looked toward the man who had spoken.

“This mysterious serpent wasn’t killed immediately. It experienced a desperate fight.”

The man was a tall, large, handsome man dressed in luxurious clothes. He looked like a proud man.

“It means the killer is a capable Star Venerable,” he told the others his assumption.

“But why is the mysterious serpent’s dead body here? He didn’t want it? It’s a treasure,” someone asked, puzzled.

“Simple. He was injured, severely injured. He had to look for a place to treat his injury right away.” The man said confidently with a smile.

His assumption made sense. The others agreed with him.

“So?” They hesitated. The joy on their faces was replaced with struggle. If that was the case, they could not take the mysterious serpent free from worries. However, they were reluctant to give it up so easily either.

They let the man who had made the assumption make the decision.

“We are in a forbidden land,” the man said simply.

The others were dumbfounded, but they soon realized what he meant, showing the same smile simultaneously. They stopped hesitating and dragged the mysterious serpent out of the Frozen Pond quickly.

On the other side, Jiang Chen’s soul had gone back to his body. He was about to leave the forbidden land. It did not make much sense to stay here, but he had not forgotten about the serpent in the Frozen Pond.

“It could be a mysterious serpent.” He, after calming down, became smarter. At the thought of the snake gall from the mysterious snake, which was a precious crude drug, he returned to the Frozen Pond. He happened upon the team skinning the mysterious serpent.

In forbidden lands, big forces were not as intimidating as they were outside. And there were many villains. As a result, when these people saw Jiang Chen, they regarded him as a powerful enemy. However, they felt relieved after confirming none of Jiang Chen’s constellation palaces had been illuminated.

“Get lost.” The proud man drove him away, without greeting or inquiry. As he spoke, the other members of the team all threw Jiang Chen unkind looks.

Jiang Chen glanced at the mysterious serpent. The fatal wound was exactly that caused by his sword attack. He showed a cold smile.

“It should be you to get lost,” he said aggressively.

“You want to rob of us? You’re too arrogant,” someone mocked him.

“Dude, you’d better be clear about one thing. Everyone in my team is stronger than you.”

“I killed this mysterious serpent,” Jiang Chen said.

The people opposite were first struck dumb. Then they burst into harsh laughter.

“Now that you know it’s a mysterious serpent, you should know how strong a fierce beast can be. Sometimes even a capable practitioner can’t defeat it.”

“I’ll tell you for the last time. Go away as quickly as possible,” the proud man said.

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen drew the Heavenly Fault Sword, his look as cold as ice.

“Doctrine Sword!”

Unfortunately, these people totally ignored the change of his facial expression, since their attentions were caught by the Heavenly Fault Sword. Exchanging a look of unspoken consensus, they looked toward the proud man again.

“You said you had killed this mysterious serpent? How will you prove it? You are only a Star Venerable in the First Constellation Palace. Did any seniors help you?” the proud man asked calmly.

As if he did not know the man was sounding him out, Jiang Chen answered, “I did it alone.”

This answer was quite satisfying for them.

Smiling, the proud man said, “You made a big mistake if you just wanted to bluff.”

“Oh? What will you do to me?”

“We’ll kill you!”

Another man suddenly launched an attack. He was in the Third Constellation Palace, so he thought he was much better than Jiang Chen. He thought he would definitely get Jiang Chen with this sword attack.

However, before he came up to Jiang Chen, a pure white moonlight streaked across the sky. His body froze where he was. His throat was cut open! He covered his throat with his hands, but it did not help at all. He fell onto the ground.

The air around the Frozen Pond got even colder.

It happened so fast. The other people barely had any time to understand what had happened. And when they had realized it, they were both shocked and angry.

“How dare you. Do you know who we are?!” Recollecting that wonderful sword attack of Jiang Chen’s, the proud man knew he had met a strong enemy.

He, in the Fifth Constellation Palace, felt like the world was ending.

“You are dead meat,” Jiang Chen said.

His reply sent shivers down their spines. They felt like they would be frozen.

“Huh, even though your swordsmanship is great, you are only in the First Constellation Palace. What can you do?” The proud man launched a joint attack with others as he spoke. Although the others were scared, they were not scared out of their wits since they were superior in numbers. However, to their surprise, as soon as the fight started, the proud man left them behind and ran away. When they had come to themselves, they found themselves facing Jiang Chen’s blade. He was not only good at swordsmanship. What the proud man said was not true!

The proud man did not slow down until he was thousands of miles away. Looking back and gasping for air, he did not see anyone chasing him. He trusted his intuition. If he had had this fight with Jiang Chen, he would have died. He was afraid his sibling disciples were probably already dead. Thinking it over, the proud man went into a forest. He looked fierce. There were traces of fights everywhere. Many tents were set high up.

At the moment, five strong men and women gathered together, talking. “It’s said this time the five tribes won’t retreat until they kill that man.”

“Are they going to search every nook and cranny of the Dark Continent?”

“That man named Jiang Chen is really lawless.”

They were from the Seventh Realm, but they were not here to deal with Jiang Chen. They had been having adventures in the forbidden land even before the fight with Jiang Chen arose.

“Shen Xing, why have you came back alone? Where are Yu’er and others?” Seeing the proud man come back, a short-haired woman asked, puzzled.

“Apprentice Elder Sister Li Yu’er and the others are all dead!” The proud man shouted sadly.

“What did you say?!” The woman flew into a rage. The others also gathered around them, knowing how severe it was.

“Tell me what happened!”

Shen Xing replied right away, “Apprentice Elder Sister, we ran into a mysterious serpent on our way. We were coming back to inform you, but someone stopped us. He suggested we collaborate together to kill the serpent.”

“We agreed, since he looked strong. And we did kill the mysterious serpent successfully. However, that guy wanted to take the whole serpent. He told us to get lost.”

“We were so irritated that we tried to reason with him, but he attacked us. The whole team except me were killed. Only I managed to flee.”

The short-haired woman burst a blood vessel. The others were also irritated. “Let’s go! Let’s see who that person is. How dare he be so arrogant!”

“Killing our people at will like this, it’s a slap in the face for us Red Cloud Society!”

“If we don’t shred him to pieces, how can we get a foothold in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts?!”

Hearing these remarks, the short-haired woman gnashed her teeth. “Lead the way!” She said to Shen Xing in a rage.

Instantly, these people headed for the Frozen Pond. Shen Xing kept laughing to himself. His apprentice elder sister and the others were all talented people, even better than capable practitioners. Even if the enemy had three heads and six arms, he would have to stop fighting back and surrender to them.

They arrived at the Frozen Pond soon. As Shen Xing had said, the others were already dead. However, it was quite surprising that Jiang Chen was still there, washing his hands squatting beside the Frozen Pond. As to the mysterious serpent, only its skeleton remained.
