Chapter 217: A Sneak Attack
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Boom!
A loud sound rang out.
In an instant, the heavens shook and the earth quaked. A terrifying aftershock spread in all directions, shattering the surrounding dust.
Jiang Chen stood in the sky with one hand behind his back. Drops of blood slowly dripped from his palm.
“Hiss…”
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped.
It was commonly known that Jiang Chen was the Holy Son of the Infinite Demon Sect! The Infinite Demon Sect specialized in body refinement. Very few people at the same level could break through their physical defense.
Yet now, there was actually someone who could injure him with one move. This was simply unbelievable.
Jiang Chen’s eyes were cold and his face was icy. He scanned the void indifferently. Very quickly, he discovered a mysterious figure.
The other party’s entire body was enveloped in golden divine light. Its appearance could not be seen clearly, let alone its gender. But Jiang Chen’s intuition told him the person who had attacked just now must have been him!
“Hmm? It’s actually him!”
The Ninth Princess looked at the figure shrouded in divine light, and a hint of surprise flashed in her dark eyes. She was too familiar with this mysterious person!
Back when the Hundred Demon Battlefield of the Dachu Empire was opened, it was this person who found her and exchanged a Spirit Sea Pill for an opportunity to enter the battlefield.
However, what she didn’t expect was that after just half a year, they would meet again here.
“From the power of the attack just now… This person’s strength is no weaker than a Nirvana Realm cultivator!”
The Ninth Princess narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.
“I heard something major happened in the Hundred Demon Battlefield that day. And this person is helping Su Chen now. Could it be this person and Su Chen were already acquainted?”
The matter of the Hundred Demon Battlefield was forcefully suppressed by the Dachu Empire. Even as the Ninth Princess of Dachu, she only knew some superficial information.
Even…
She didn’t know as much as the Eldest Prince!
Right now, the appearance of this mysterious figure of an unknown gender, and judging by his attitude, the relationship between the two was definitely not normal!
If she wanted to cooperate with Su Chen, she would have to help this mysterious person before her. In this way, she could gain Su Chen’s favor, and it would be easier to negotiate cooperation.
“Haha… Ambush me? In the entire East Barrens, you’re the first!”
Jiang Chen didn’t get angry, instead, he smiled sinisterly as he stared at the mysterious man and said coldly.
In front of so many prodigies of the same generation, he was caught off guard by a stranger and even suffered quite a few light injuries. This was truly a great humiliation for him as the Holy Son of the Infinite Demon Sect! If he didn’t kill the other party to vent his anger, then his reputation as the Holy Son would become a joke!
As soon as his voice fell, he raised a hand, and there appeared an ancient inscription shimmering with light. The radiance on the ancient inscription resembled a blazing sun, shining brilliantly, making it impossible to gaze directly at it.
Just as he was about to attack, several figures appeared before Jiang Chen simultaneously.
“Huh?”
Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Chen froze on the spot.
The Eldest Prince and the Ninth Princes of Dachu, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect and…
As well as Dashang’s… Marquis Wen?
He could understand the first few, he had even expected them.
But why would this newly promoted Marquis of Dashang stand before him?
Jiang Chen truly didn’t understand. Logically, there should be endless hatred between Dashang and Su Chen! But what was the meaning of Marquis Wen blocking him?
“Yang Kai!”
When Shang Feng of Dashang saw this, his expression instantly turned cold.
He stared at Yang Kai unhappily and said in a deep voice,
“Get back here!”
“Your Highness. Although I, Yang Kai, am an official of Dashang, 1 am not a retainer! No one can order me around, not even if the Emperor came personally!”
Yang Kai said lightly without turning back.
“You…”
Shang Feng’s face went pale.
Just a moment ago, he was still contemplating whether he should step in and help Jiang Chen if things escalated.
Yet who could have thought…
The next moment, the people he brought with him betrayed him first.
Jiang Chen lost face first, then it was his turn.
Even though Shang Feng was a prince of Dashang who had been cultivating his energy since young
At this moment, he still couldn’t hold it in. His face was gloomy as he shouted sternly, “Yang Kai! Don’t think you can be disrespectful to me just because you have the support of Duke of the Valiant! You should know that Su Chen has killed dozens of Marquises and a Duke of my Dashang! By helping this person now, it’s the same as helping Su Chen! As for the consequences of helping Su Chen, you should know without me spelling it out! Don’t ruin your bright future due to a moment of impulse!”
However…
Hearing this, Yang Kai was still unmoved. He said without turning back, “There’s no need for Your Highness to remind me! I, Yang Kai, know what I’m doing.”
“Hehe…Hahaha…”
When Shang Feng heard this, he was so angry he laughed. His eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing in their depths as he gnashed his teeth and said, “Duke of the Valiant has a good son indeed!”
He had long known that Su Chen helped Yang Kai once when entering the Dashang’s imperial city.
It seemed… he even seemed to have given something to Yang Kai.
However…
At the time, no one investigated the matter. But now it seemed the things Su Chen gave Yang Kai were extraordinary! It was even to the extent that Yang Kai would not hesitate to break ties with Dashang!
“Since these people are willing to protect him, then Brother Shang, why don’t you and 1 join forces? You help me kill the one who ambushed me, and I’ll help you clean up the rebels. What do you think?”
Jiang Chen’s icy gaze swept over everyone.
He paused briefly on the Ninth Princess before finally settling on the mysterious man.
The person’s body flowed with light, his appearance unclear, and there was no aura leaking from him at all.
However, judging from the power behind that person’s earlier attack, his strength was unlikely to be at the Nirvana Realm.
Rather, the chances of him being a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator were higher.
Jiang Chen thought that if it was just him against that person, he wouldn’t need to expend much effort to kill him.
Most importantly…
The Eldest Prince of Dachu was in front of that person.
Compared to the Ninth Princess, the Eldest Prince was more troublesome.
Of course, there was also the equally troublesome Holy Son of the Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect.
“Alright.”
Shang Feng nodded lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous aura rose within a hundred-mile radius.
Several top prodigies were about to face off before the God Demon Sect even opened. This was beyond many people’s expectations.
More importantly…
The reason these people were taking action was actually because of Su Chen, the mysterious Holy Son who had been in seclusion for half a year!
For a moment, many who had never seen Su Chen before became curious.
Just what was so extraordinary about this Great Mystery Holy Son that he could wield such powerful influence?
The identities of these people were quite extraordinary. Once they started fighting, it signified a clash between two major forces..
