Chapter 234: Chapter 232: You Are That Good-for-Nothing

An expert at the Sixth Level of Martial Master had collapsed at Jiang Chen’s feet, falling without the slightest warning.

The men from the City Lord’s Mansion stared, their jaws practically on the floor.

GULP...

More than a few people swallowed nervously.

They were utterly stunned by Jiang Chen.

"Did you see it clearly that time?"

Wen Bufan, aghast, turned and asked Lin Hai again.

But Lin Hai could only shake his head.

"I really didn’t see him make a move."

"There’s something sinister about this kid."

Seeing the two guards collapse for no reason, Lin Hai began to grow wary of Jiang Chen.

His own Cultivation was considerable, but the two guards had died for no apparent reason. Their sudden deaths had caught everyone completely off guard.

Jiang Chen was too strange, too unpredictable.

Hearing that not even Lin Hai knew what had happened, a chill ran down Wen Bufan’s spine.

He cleared his throat and said to Jiang Chen, "Kid, I don’t care who you are, but you should know that provoking our City Lord’s Mansion is unwise."

"We are only here to take that man. Don’t meddle in affairs that don’t concern you."

"You must be aware of the power our City Lord’s Mansion wields."

Seeing Jiang Chen’s bizarre methods, he resorted to threats, hoping to scare Jiang Chen into minding his own business.

Hoping to intimidate Jiang Chen into backing down.

But Jiang Chen just shook his head.

"The City Lord’s Mansion is not enough to intimidate me."

"If you leave right now, I won’t make things difficult for you."

He had finally made his position clear.

’I have to protect Elder Qi. This is too important.’

’I don’t know if Elder Qi will give me the Cyan Silkworm in the end, but I absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of the City Lord’s Mansion.’

Wen Bufan and his men exchanged glances.

Jiang Chen’s bluff had worked.

A mere Warrior at the Seventh Heaven was holding them all at bay.

Elder Qi naturally looked at Jiang Chen in a new light.

He was only now realizing how powerful Jiang Chen was. He felt that if Jiang Chen had used these methods on him, he might not have escaped.

The thought terrified him.

At the same time, he wondered, ’Just who is Jiang Chen?’

’There’s no one like him in Hanwu City, as far as I know.’

"Who the hell is he?"

Wen Bufan was wary of Jiang Chen and didn’t make a move for the time being.

But he didn’t retreat either.

He wouldn’t rest until he got the Cyan Silkworm.

He asked Lin Hai, but Lin Hai didn’t know Jiang Chen at all.

"I’ve never heard of him in Hanwu City."

Just then, among the City Lord’s Mansion guards, someone suddenly spoke up, "Young Master, this kid... he seems to be Young Master Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family."

What?

Wen Bufan was stunned.

Jiang Chen. Young Master Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family. He was certainly familiar with that name.

’It’s actually Jiang Chen.’

Wen Bufan was dumbfounded.

He then eyed Jiang Chen with suspicion and demanded, "You’re *that* Jiang Chen from the Jiang Family? The trash whose fiancée broke off your engagement?"

The Jiang Chen he knew of was the one whose engagement was broken and whose Martial Vein had been stolen.

He had never taken someone like Jiang Chen seriously, so he’d never paid him much attention.

The fact that this Jiang Chen was so bizarre struck him as incredibly strange.

He was well aware that Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein had been stolen, and he even knew who had stolen it.

And Jiang Chen seemed to still be in the dark.

Everyone else stared at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

The matter of Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein being stolen was known to practically everyone.

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t forget this matter either.

’It’s just not time for my revenge yet.’

He would not let that Fierce Beast remain at large.

He nodded silently. "That’s right. I am the trash you’re talking about."

"Today, I’ll let you see just how capable this ’trash’ is, and while I’m at it, I’ll fix that pea-brained head of yours."

He had nothing to hide about others calling him trash.

He had been, especially after losing his Martial Vein. But now, he was going to change everyone’s perception of him.

"Hahaha, it really is you."

But Wen Bufan simply roared with laughter, his voice dripping with smug mockery for Jiang Chen.

’But wait,’ he thought. ’Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein was stolen, yet he still has a decent Cultivation.’

’That must mean he’s acquired a new Martial Vein.’

’That’s a terrifying prospect.’

But he couldn’t dwell on that for now.

His laughter died down, and his expression slowly turned grim.

"Trash from the Jiang Family. It seems your family is looking to be wiped out from Hanwu City."

"I’ll tell you one more time: get lost. Otherwise, I’ll return and annihilate the Jiang Family."

Now that he knew who Jiang Chen was, he was no longer afraid.

How could a mere young master of the Jiang Family compare to him?

Obviously, Jiang Chen’s status was far inferior to his.

His eyes dripped with contempt for Jiang Chen.

After hearing Wen Bufan’s words, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Jiang Chen’s eyes.

He suppressed his anger for the moment, however.

He said indifferently, "I think the ones who will be getting lost today are you, not me."

Wen Bufan sneered.

"Well, boy, you’re really asking to die."

"In that case, kill him for me."

"When I get back, I’ll take people to ransack the Jiang Family. Damn it, these people all deserve to die."

He was furious, enraged that the person he saw as trash was single-handedly blocking all of his men.

He completely forgot about Jiang Chen’s earlier mysterious methods and roared, pointing a finger at him.

"Young Master, let me do it."

Now that Lin Hai also knew Jiang Chen’s identity, he had far fewer reservations.

He stepped forward, brandishing a large blade, his eyes filled with malice.

"Trash, it’s too late for you to beg for mercy now."

With that, he suddenly raised his blade and slashed at Jiang Chen.

Another slash.

The slash was incredibly fast and ferocious.

SWISH!

A terrifying Sword Aura instantly tore through the sky, slashing viciously toward Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen calmly took out a white fan—the Divine Wind Fan.

He waved the fan toward the incoming Sword Aura.

SWISH!

Under the sweep of Jiang Chen’s Divine Wind Fan, the air temperature plummeted as if it were the dead of winter.

A terrifying, frigid wind formed a vortex.

Howling, it met the fearsome Sword Aura head-on.

RUMBLE...

With a deafening roar,

Lin Hai’s Sword Aura was actually scattered by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s face was a little pale, but he had still done it. A mere Warrior at the Seventh Heaven had used a fan to shatter the Sword Aura of Lin Hai, a master at the Peak of Martial Master Ninth Heaven.

It was simply unbelievable.

Of course, Jiang Chen’s Divine Wind Fan was a top-tier item of the Spiritual Treasure Level.

It’s just that Jiang Chen had hidden the Spiritual Treasure’s aura, so ordinary people couldn’t detect it.

"No, impossible."

Lin Hai was stunned. That he had shattered his Sword Aura with a single wave of a fan was unbelievable.

But that was the reality.

Jiang Chen curled his lip.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

"Now, it’s my turn."

As he spoke, his fingers flicked.

A faint aura shot out in an instant, heading straight for Lin Hai.

It was Broken Soul again.

This time he controlled the amount of Broken Soul.

It wasn’t enough to kill Lin Hai instantly, but it would be enough to cause him immense pain.

Not even someone at the Peak of Martial Master Ninth Heaven could resist Broken Soul, a substance that attacked the soul directly.

WHOOSH!

In the time it took Lin Hai to breathe, the Soul-Breaking Poison was unknowingly inhaled by him.

"I must kill you today in front of our Young Master."

Lin Hai took another step forward, blade in hand.

But suddenly, a roar filled his mind.

A wave of vertigo almost made him stumble.

The next moment, a sharp pain shot through him.

It was as if countless sharp needles were piercing his soul.

"AARGH..."
