Chapter 446 – God of War (1/2)
Chapter 446 – God of War
The entire training ground was filled with blood, making it so that those here couldn’t help but furrow their brows. This place seemed like. The two hundred men who had survived were greatly terrified, and their faces had turned extremely pale.
They were trying their best to hold their breath. Jiang Chen was extremely frightening to them. In their eyes, he was already an existence equal to the devil.
All the people from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect had been killed, and up next would be the ones from the Martial Saint Dynasty.
Jiang Chen didn’t look at these people, but turned to the people of Black Sect and asked, “What about them?”
“Senior disciple Jiang, they just arrived yesterday, they didn’t do anything to us.”
A disciple from the Black Sect answered the question, causing all the people from the Martial Saint Dynasty to breathe out in relief. It looked like there was a chance for them to keep their lives. At least, they would be much better of than those from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect.
“Fine. I’ve said this before; those who deserve it will die. In fact, all of you do deserve to be killed as well. If I had fallen into the hands of the Martial Saint Dynasty… I’m sure you guys are able to picture what would have happened. And, once I died, you would mercilessly attack my family and friends. Am I right?”
Jiang Chen glanced at the men with a look containing a hint of interest.
Jiang Chen’s glance caused these people to feel as if they were suffocating. However, his words were correct. If today’s situation was reversed, and Jiang Chen fell into their hands instead of them falling into his hands, it would be a miserable outcome for Jiang Chen. And, once he was dealt with, the Imperial Decree saying that all his friends and family would be slaughtered would immediately be carried out. All the people of the Black Sect would be executed; none doubted this. Therefore, none of them refuted Jiang Chen’s words. Jiang Chen was a wise man, and he had a clear understanding of the situation. It wasn’t possible for them to disapprove of what he said.
Faced with someone like this, their fate could be decided with just one word from him. It all depended on whether or not Jiang Chen was happy. They all knew it was useless to beg for forgiveness or try and threaten him.
“However, I also said that as long as your hands aren’t stained with the blood of those from the Black Sect, you will be spared. However, you’ll still have to face punishment. I’ll give you two options. First option, cut both your arms off and leave. Second option, I’ll do it myself and then destroy your cultivation base, but I’ll spare your life.”
Jiang Chen said.
Although Jiang Chen’s words caused sweat to instantly appear on the foreheads of those from the Martial Saint Dynasty, many of them also had a surprised look in their eyes. The punishment was indeed a surprise to them, as they thought they would have to face a death sentence. Although losing both arms was something very bad for them, at least it was better than losing their lives.
“I’ll cut off my arms.”
A Combat Soul warrior said without hesitating. He took out a razor sharp sword and instantly cut off his left arm. After that, he threw the sword into the sky, moved his arm underneath it, and let the sword slice it off.
After the first man cut off his arms, none of the other men hesitated any longer. They simply took ou their weapons and cut off both their arms. It was a brutal and bloody scene, but the people of the Black Sect felt extremely excited from witnessing this.
Cutting away both arms by themselves, no ordinary men had this kind of courage. However, none of these men hesitated even slightly. They didn’t know much about Jiang Chen, but after today’s battle, they completely understood what kind of man Jiang Chen was. He was a man who showed no mercy to his enemies, and he meant what he said. They could imagine that if they were just a bit slower, Jiang Chen would have come forth and done it for them, and then cripple them as well.
Although Jiang Chen had given them two options, all of these men chose the first option. Even an idiot would know which option was best.
Yes, losing both arms would hugely impact their future cultivation, and they might even see their cultivation halt for the rest of their lives. However, there were some rare medicines that could make their arms regrow. Even if they couldn’t find that; with their cultivation bases, they could still live a good life without both arms. However, if their cultivation base was destroyed, for any strong warrior, that was no different than killing them.
The life of a crippled man was not something they could imagine. Therefore, they didn’t think twice, and just chose to lose their arms.
“You can leave now.”
Jiang Chen casually waved his hand.
None of these two hundred men dared to hesitate. They immediately turned around and left. For them, this place was a living hell; they didn’t want to stay here for one more second.
“Hold on.”
Jiang Chen suddenly spoke again, causing all those who were leaving to instantly stop. All of them felt their hearts rapidly palpitating. They had no idea what this devil wanted to do, they were just hoping that he wouldn’t change his mind, as all of them had already lost their arms. If he decided to kill them now; wasn’t that just bullying in plain daylight?
“With the way you’re looking right now, I don’t think you should return to the Martial Saint Dynasty. All emperors are now dead, and you’ve lost the Crown Prince as well. If you guys return without both arms, I’m sure the Imperial Emperor will just kill you all to vent his anger. Furthermore, you guys are useless to the Martial Saint Dynasty now. I think it’d be better if you just left to a faraway place; somewhere you can live a normal life.”
Jiang Chen said.
His words reminded all these people, causing them to be startled for a moment. However, gratitude soon filled their faces. His words were right; they came here with the Third Emperor and Crown Prince for a war, but now, all the emperors were gone, including the Crown Prince. If they returned as they were right now, the Imperial Emperor would definitely kill them to vent his anger.
‘All the emperors are dead, so why are you still alive?’
Furthermore, in their current state, they were of no more use to the Martial Saint Dynasty. They would certainly die if they returned. They might as well just listen to Jiang Chen and leave to a faraway place and hide their identity. That way, they might still be able to live a normal life.
After the people of the Martial Saint Dynasty left. The entire Black Sect erupted with cheers. All the disciples were yelling wildly. Today’s battle had allowed them to vent their grief. They were all looking at Jiang Chen in the most respectful manner. Because of this young man, they were now welcoming a new life.
“Jiang Chen, God of War!”
