"Make friends?"
Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly. "You think I like making friends? Or that I have to just because you want to?"
"Er..."
The smile on Zhen Xiangchong’s face gradually froze.
’I’ve been perfectly restrained, haven’t I?’ he thought.
He hadn’t flown into a rage and attacked the man who had killed two of his subordinates and transplanted a host of his Spiritual Medicines. That was being more than merciful.
He simply believed that Jiang Xinghai was young, promising, and possessed an uncommon boldness, making him worth recruiting.
That was why he had repeatedly suppressed his anger and extended an olive branch to Jiang Xinghai.
But!
Jiang Xinghai had shut him down with a single sentence!
"Get out of the way." Jiang Xinghai and Yan Qingshan stopped three meters in front of Zhen Xiangchong.
In truth, the path was wide. If Jiang Xinghai had continued walking in a straight line, Zhen Xiangchong wouldn’t have been in his way.
But he confronted him head-on anyway, just to make it clear to Zhen Xiangchong that he was utterly fearless.
"Mr. Jiang, you’ve gone too far."
Zhen Xiangchong had long occupied a high station and had never been humiliated so repeatedly. How could he let Jiang Xinghai leave unscathed?
Jiang Xinghai remained as imperious as ever. "Then stop wasting words."
"You’ve succeeded in angering me!"
Zhen Xiangchong waved his hand, and with a flash of cold light, a dagger shot toward Jiang Xinghai.
Unhurried, Jiang Xinghai simply threw a punch, easily neutralizing Zhen Xiangchong’s attack.
Then, he shifted sideways, his body closing in on Zhen Xiangchong in an instant before he unleashed a heavy kick.
Zhen Xiangchong seemed to have anticipated it, dodging Jiang Xinghai’s attack with a simple flash of movement.
"Hehehe. I am already a Ninth-Grade Great Venerable. I thought myself invincible, at least in the Central State. I never expected someone so young to possess this level of strength. In that case, I must kill you today and eliminate a future threat!" Zhen Xiangchong had intended to teach Jiang Xinghai a lesson and then take him in as a subordinate.
But Jiang Xinghai was too arrogant, and his strength was vaguely on par with his own. His only choice was to kill him now, before he could grow any stronger!
SWOOSH!
Another dagger shot out from Zhen Xiangchong’s hand.
At the same time, his figure blurred into a phantom, his attacks as fierce as a sudden storm.
However, Jiang Xinghai’s body moved with the speed of lightning. Every punch and kick erupted like a powerful blast of air.
For a moment, their figures, a whirlwind of flashing blades and flying fists, wove a spectacular image.
CRACK!
As the sound of the dagger shattering rang out, Zhen Xiangchong’s body was sent flying by a vicious kick from Jiang Xinghai.
His gaze began to cloud over.
Embedded in his chest, a blood-stained dagger was shockingly conspicuous.
"A Ninth-Grade Great Venerable with just this much skill? You’re a real disappointment." Jiang Xinghai watched as Zhen Xiangchong rolled to the ground and stopped breathing.
"Incredible, Master!" Yan Qingshan had been watching, dumbfounded.
He had guessed that Jiang Xinghai would win, but he never would have guessed that he would defeat Zhen Xiangchong so effortlessly.
’Could it be? Has my master’s strength already taken that step?’
"Take me to the Martial Arts Department’s seclusion grounds."
Jiang Xinghai had dismissed the idea of leaving just yet.
"Master, don’t tell me you intend to..." Yan Qingshan was completely baffled.
"Those who understand the situation can become your underlings. As for those who don’t, we won’t leave a single one. Let this Martial Arts Department become our private garden." Jiang Xinghai insisted.
Otherwise, there would be an endless stream of trouble later on. It was better to solve the problem once and for all.
But Yan Qingshan’s expression was pained. "Master, the other three old men are most likely Ninth-Grade Great Venerables too. If you fight one against three..."
Jiang Xinghai waved his hand dismissively. "Enough nonsense. Lead the way."
Yan Qingshan didn’t dare say more and turned to lead the way. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Everywhere they passed, members of the Martial Arts Department could be seen scrambling to get out of their way as if they had seen a ghost.
Finally, Yan Qingshan brought Jiang Xinghai to the front of the seclusion chambers. "Master, these are the three chambers."
"You stand back and protect the Spiritual Medicines. Leave the rest to me."
After Yan Qingshan had retreated to a safe distance, a vast and terrifying aura erupted from Jiang Xinghai’s body.
He raised his fist and swung it forward.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
After three consecutive punches, cracks began to appear on the thick walls. They then instantly crumbled, sending bricks and dust flying as a powerful shockwave spread out.
When the dust settled, three aged figures appeared simultaneously in Jiang Xinghai’s view.
These were the other three Elders of the Martial Arts Department.
Just as Yan Qingshan had guessed, all three had reached the cultivation level of a Ninth-Grade Great Venerable!
At that moment, the Martial Arts Department members from the surrounding area also rushed over.
The air seemed to freeze.
Everyone, including the three Elders, held their breath and stared at Jiang Xinghai.
How utterly domineering!
The one-meter-thick, reinforced concrete chamber doors had been blown apart by a single punch from Jiang Xinghai!
"Zhen Xiangchong and Wanyan Hongchao are dead. I’ll give you a choice: surrender, or die." Jiang Xinghai’s voice was chillingly cold.
The three Elders were horrified to hear this.
Their gazes met in mid-air, like three powerful forces converging on Jiang Xinghai at once.
