Chapter 233: Chapter 231: It’s Not My Fault You’re Blind

"Go. Take them down."

Wen Bufan was annoyed. Murong Xiangming had ruined his fun.

Even though Murong Xiangming was the young mistress of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, he didn’t care in the slightest.

He even thought that if he could capture Murong Xiangming in the process, it would be a major prize.

Unfortunately for him, his calculations were about to be proven wrong.

Lin Hai, clad in his Black Gold Silk Armor, took a step forward.

He held a great saber, looking majestic and imposing.

Just then, a figure slowly appeared before the crowd.

It was Jiang Chen, who had been completely ignored by Wen Bufan and his men.

"Huh? Who is this kid?"

"Where did he pop out from?"

Wen Bufan looked at Jiang Chen with a sneer.

After all, Jiang Chen was a mere Warrior Seventh Heaven, while he, Wen Bufan, was an expert at the Peak of the Ninth Heaven of Warrior. He was just one step away from breaking through to the Martial Master Realm.

He had noticed Jiang Chen earlier but hadn’t paid him any mind. After all, Jiang Chen was a nobody; any one of his guards could have crushed him.

As soon as Wen Bufan finished speaking, the men from the City Lord’s Mansion burst out laughing.

Jiang Chen’s slender frame simply didn’t look threatening at all.

Jiang Chen stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression serene. He wouldn’t let a few words from others stir any emotion in him.

Poised and unhurried, he remained completely calm even when facing so many experts from the City Lord’s Mansion.

It was a bearing that ordinary people simply did not possess.

He smiled slightly. "It’s not my fault you’re blind."

What?

Wen Bufan had expected Jiang Chen to fly into a rage at his mockery, but instead, Jiang Chen’s first words nearly made him choke with anger.

’This guy actually called me blind.’

Trembling with rage, he roared, "How dare you humiliate me! Crush this damned little fry for me!"

He had failed to humiliate Jiang Chen and was instead infuriated by a single sentence.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the guards beside him to act.

One of the guards immediately jumped out and shouted, "He’s just a little fry! Let me crush him!"

"How dare you humiliate our young master? You’re courting death!"

With that, his figure flashed, and he charged toward Jiang Chen, radiating killing intent.

Meanwhile, next to Jiang Chen, Elder Qi had developed a better impression of him and Murong Xiangming, even though Jiang Chen wanted to use his Cyan Silkworm for Alchemy.

At the very least, the two of them had saved him.

He hastily said to Jiang Chen, "Kid, get back! You’re no match for them."

He spoke up immediately after seeing that Jiang Chen was only a mere Warrior Seventh Heaven.

But Jiang Chen remained unmoved.

Murong Xiangming said nothing either, merely watching Jiang Chen while staying on guard against the others.

"Die!"

The guard, eager to show off for Wen Bufan, was naturally thrilled. If he killed Jiang Chen, he would surely be heavily favored by the young master.

Opportunities to curry favor didn’t come around often.

The guard was a Martial Master Third Heaven expert, so his attack was naturally quite formidable.

WHOOSH!

Yet Jiang Chen stood there from beginning to end, not moving an inch.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen softly uttered a single word.

"Freeze!"

The word echoed in the guard’s mind like a magic spell.

Instantly, as if struck by Jiang Chen’s Body Fixing Technique, the guard froze in place right before everyone’s incredulous eyes.

He stopped moving completely.

Jiang Chen spoke again, once more uttering just a single word.

"Fall!"

THUD!

The guard from the City Lord’s Mansion immediately collapsed, twitched a few times on the ground, and then his eyes went wide as he stopped breathing entirely.

The whole scene was utterly bizarre.

Watching this unfold, Elder Qi stared at Jiang Chen as if he had just seen a ghost.

"This... this kid..."

He couldn’t believe it. With just a word, Jiang Chen had made a Martial Master Third Heaven expert freeze on command and collapse on command.

He had never seen or heard of such a miraculous ability.

Just moments ago, he had been worried that Jiang Chen was no match for his opponent, but now he was simply stunned.

Yet Jiang Chen just stood there, his figure seeming to grow taller and more imposing.

The men from the City Lord’s Mansion were all dumbfounded.

Their mouths hung wide open, completely unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

Their companion had truly frozen and collapsed merely at Jiang Chen’s words.

Wen Bufan, in particular, had his eyes bulging like a bull’s.

His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

"GULP..."

He swallowed hard, still unable to figure out how Jiang Chen had done it.

Not even an expert like Lin Hai could make a Martial Master Third Heaven expert collapse on command; a fight would have been necessary.

The atmosphere instantly turned strange.

Jiang Chen, however, said nothing, his hands still clasped behind his back.

It was just that a moment ago, unnoticed by anyone, his fingers had flicked a few times.

What had made his opponent fall was, of course, the potent Soul-Breaking Poison he held in his hand.

Below the rank of Martial King, none could escape the fate of having their soul broken by it.

All by himself, he had instantly brought all the men from the City Lord’s Mansion to a halt.

He stood there, a slender figure, yet no one dared to underestimate him now.

Wen Bufan stared at Jiang Chen in amazement, sizing him up with curiosity. He had truly never encountered such a character.

"What technique did he use? Did you see it clearly?"

He asked Lin Hai, who was beside him.

Lin Hai gave a wry smile.

"Young Master, I didn’t see it clearly either."

"This kid... he’s very strange."

"How about I go test him?"

As a Martial Master Ninth Heaven expert, he was naturally not afraid of Jiang Chen.

Besides, no matter how he looked at it, the kid was just a mere Warrior Seventh Heaven.

’How powerful could a Warrior Seventh Heaven possibly be?’

But Wen Bufan waved his hand. "Let someone else test him first."

He then pointed to a Sixth Level of Martial Master expert in the crowd.

"You, go crush him."

The Sixth Level of Martial Master expert immediately stepped out from the group.

He naturally didn’t believe that Jiang Chen could possibly defeat him.

He snorted coldly.

"Kid, no matter what tricks you have, you’re dead now that you’ve run into me, Tang Mang!"

"Kill!"

He roared and charged at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stood his ground, still not moving. He simply squeezed a single, cold word from between his teeth.

"Die!"

It was just one simple word.

But the Sixth Level of Martial Master expert paid it no mind and continued his charge.

He rushed right up to Jiang Chen.

His saber was just about to come crashing down.

At that exact moment, a searing pain shot through his head. His vision went black, and he knew no more.

THUD!

He fell stiffly before Jiang Chen, his head nearly smashing into Jiang Chen’s toes.

Silence!

A deathly silence.

Even Murong Xiangming, who had witnessed Jiang Chen’s methods before, was stunned to see this, her mouth slightly agape.

Jiang Chen hadn’t moved at all, only uttered a single, simple word.

And that one word truly was a death sentence.

No one could stop it.

Two experts from the City Lord’s Mansion, the stronger of whom was a Sixth Level of Martial Master, had now fallen at his feet.

They didn’t even have a chance to resist.

Elder Qi was truly horrified.

He stared strangely at Jiang Chen. To kill someone without even moving a finger...

’Could it be that Jiang Chen can kill with a glance?’

This display instantly intimidated everyone from the City Lord’s Mansion.

The entire group just stood there, stunned.
