Free Web NovelChapter 2708: Chapter 2711: Who Dares Stand in My Way
Boom!
A loud roar echoed, and a figure fell from the arena.
The young man in black clothes panted heavily, glanced at his opponent whom he had knocked off the platform, and then warily turned to look at the two people sitting and standing at the edge of the stage.
At this moment on the arena, only three of them remained!
Jiang Chen looked up at the young man and slowly stood up.
"You..."
The young man in black’s eyes narrowed, his spiritual power circulated rapidly throughout his body. He watched Jiang Chen vigilantly: "At that time, no one wanted to be targeted, I was only making a suggestion."
He explained, showing some fear, but his spiritual power did not cease, still daring to fight!
Jiang Chen regarded the young man in black with some appreciation. He could see that the young man’s condition was not good, with his spiritual power nearly depleted, the power of the Great Dao almost exhausted, yet he still managed to stand thus far.
"Did you not listen carefully to the rules?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
The young man in black was slightly stunned, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Rules? What rules?
"Little princess, there are only three people left!"
Jiang Chen turned to Cheng Huang’er and spoke softly.
The black-clothed young man was astonished for a moment, silently relieved that it was this rule.
After calming his aura and halting the circulation of spiritual power, the young man in black cupped his hand towards Jiang Chen and turned to look at Cheng Huang’er below the stage.
"The three of you can enter the Canglan Realm to observe, is there anyone else who wants to challenge?"
Cheng Huang’er spoke indifferently and turned to glance at the crowd who had been knocked off the platform.
"Jiang Chen, aren’t you arrogant? Do you dare challenge me?"
Zheng Tianyang suddenly shouted loudly.
"Will you dare come up for a fair fight at the same realm?"
Jiang Chen casually glanced at Zheng Tianyang.
Zheng Tianyang’s expression changed, he shouted again: "Do you dare to have an all-out battle with me?"
"Come on, isn’t this shameless now?"
Tang Jie looked at Zheng Tianyang with contempt: "You’re in the Late Virtual Refinement Realm, and you’re shameless enough to battle with someone at the Divine Infant Realm Peak? Zheng Tianyang, you’ve disgraced the face of the Zheng Royal Mansion!"
"This is too shameless, isn’t it?"
"What is Zheng Tianyang trying to do?"
"Haha, his face is just too thick!"
Ridiculing voices rang out, while the Zheng Royal Mansion is strong, not everyone is afraid of it!
"What? What’s the big deal about higher realms? Jiang Chen is also twenty-nine, and I am too, what’s wrong with a battle at the same age?"
Zheng Tianyang argued loudly: "A battle at the same age clearly shows one’s talent, doesn’t it? He cultivates slowly, continuously stuck at realms, does such a person deserve to be labeled as invincible at the same realm?"
The crowd was slightly stunned, looking at Zheng Tianyang with playful eyes, determined to target Jiang Chen.
Same age, same age yet there are different family backgrounds, how many cultivators across the Canglan Continent can compare to the family background of the Zheng Royal Mansion? Using this as an excuse, really...
Although they saw through Zheng Tianyang’s sophistry, not many were willing to offend Zheng Tianyang for a complete stranger like Jiang Chen, yet not many doesn’t mean none.
"You really are the pinnacle of shamelessness! Jiang Chen cultivates at the Changlin Academy, where did you? Jiang Chen has only been cultivating for seven years, and you? If you gave Jiang Chen the resources you consumed, he could crush you with a finger!"
Tang Jie retorted again.
"Tang Jie, what benefits did you take from him to speak on his behalf like this?"
Zheng Tianyang turned to Tang Jie, sneering: "Or are you trying to win him over, or worry he loses to me ruins some plan of yours?"
"Zheng Tianyang, I, Tang Jie, am arrogant, proud, but I am upright in my pride, straightforward in my arrogance. I speak for him because I admire him, I admire him for being able to single-handedly defeat a Suppression Realm Semi-Saint, admire his generosity in letting me share the Necro Sphere despite the past troubles I gave him, admire him for risking his life for friends, I just respect him!"
Tang Jie shouted: "Do you think I, Tang Jie, am as vile as you? You think I don’t know you and Tan Zhengyao sent people to Changlin Academy to capture Jiang Chen’s friends to deal with him?"
"What?"
Once Tang Jie finished speaking, the crowd was momentarily stunned, showing astonishment in their eyes.
"You stop accusing me indiscriminately, I..."
Zheng Tianyang’s expression changed, angrily shouted.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a formidable killing intent covered the entire square, an overwhelming force pressed heavily upon Zheng Tianyang.
Zheng Tianyang abruptly stopped speaking, startled as he turned to look at Jiang Chen on the platform, this killing intent gave him a palpitation!
The crowd’s expressions all changed, turning to look at Jiang Chen.
"Such strong killing intent!"
"How many people did he have to kill for this?!"
"This Jiang Chen..."
On the platform, Jiang Chen’s gaze was cold as he looked at Zheng Tianyang, with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
Beside him, Jian Wuheng similarly gazed coldly at Zheng Tianyang below the platform, spiritual power circulating at its peak.
"Master!"
Jiang Chen stared at Zheng Tianyang, calling out to the northern great hall.
"I’ve notified the academy’s guardian Li, and informed the Changling Main Court and your grandmaster. Your grandmaster happens to be in Elixir Divine City, and he will search along Canglan City’s outer perimeter. Once they find any Zheng and Qing Royal Mansion people, they will immediately capture them and take them to the Canglan Army camp for interrogation."
"Once it’s confirmed they intend to assault Changlin Academy, both Qing and Zheng Royal Mansions must account to Changling Academy and Changlin Academy, and any instigator, whether a prince or his son, must head to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, no exceptions! Changlin Academy isn’t so easily bullied!"
A voice of anger echoed from within the great hall.
Zheng Tianyang and Tan Zhengyao’s faces turned pale.
"Hu Yiqiu, isn’t it excessive to escalate the situation like this?"
A cold voice sounded.
"Excessive? Haha! Let’s see who dares to obstruct justice! Really think Changlin Academy is easy to bully?"
Hu Yiqiu’s voice of anger echoed again:
"Prince Qing, I, Hu Yiqiu, put my words here today, your juniors target my disciples, that’s a junior dispute, as long as it’s not bullying, I won’t interfere, but dare to bully, threaten Changlin Academy, I’ll make Prince Qing restless, have your Qing Royal Mansion removed from the nobility, see if I can do it!"
Once the words fell, everyone’s faces changed.
The crowd couldn’t see the situation within the great hall, but could fully imagine it, the great hall was likely already tense!
"All matters follow the rules, anyone who breaks the rules must accept punishment!"
A calm voice emerged, the contention within the great hall instantly vanished.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen had a thought, these words were spoken by Teng Wenkang. If he merely wanted to quell the contention between Hu Yiqiu and Prince Qing, there was no need to transmit the voice.
Upon this thought, Jiang Chen glanced at Zheng Tianyang and Tan Zhengyao, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
