Leopard Wei no longer said anything. Although Kong Yang was formerly opponent, he knew him all too well. Kong Yang was a person who would never escape on his own, because if that was the case, he wouldn’t be Kong Yang.
“It is a sad thing that we – the two great geniuses of Demon Race - will fall at such a place.” Leopard Wei sighed helplessly.
The present circumstance was crystal clear. Kong Yang was severely injured, as such he couldn’t fight Desolate Yuan. Not only that, there was Desolate Cong, who was also a member of Desolate Family and a genius of Saint Origin Palace, who didn’t seem to have the intention of letting them go.
“Kong Yang, even though I am going to kill you today, I have to say that you are the genius I most admire among all the geniuses on the Sky Ranking. It’s a bit of pity that we can’t be friends.”Desolate Yuan said while shaking his head.
“You are right. We are fated not to be friends, because someone like you aren’t qualified to become a friend of Kong Yang.”
Right after Desolate Yuan’s voice dropped, a voice suddenly sounded from behind. It wasn’t Kong Yang’s, it was Jiang Chen’s.
Hearing this line, everyone on the scene was petrified. They turned towards the source of the sound, including Kong Yang and Leopard Wei, and saw three silhouettes materializing in seconds. They were two men and a dog. One of them was a youth covered with blood, he was the Kong Yu who escaped.
“Jiang Chen.”
Desolate Yuan and Leopard Wei exclaimed at the same time as they didn’t expect to see him here.
Seeing Jiang Chen, majestic combat intent burst out Desolate Yuan’s body. He was gritting his teeth, holding himself back from rushing over and slice Jiang Chen to pieces. From young until now, he had never lost a battle to any of his peers except to Jiang Chen. This was undeniably a great insult to his life. In order to scrape away this insult, he only had one way – that was to kill Jiang Chen.
On the other hand, Leopard Wei had entirely different thought. He felt like he had seen the sunlight the moment he saw Jiang Chen, shining upon his gloomy heart. He could feel that Jiang Chen was now many times more powerful than before. He knew the scariness of Jiang Chen after his battle with him. Now that Jiang Chen appeared, he and Kong Yang would be saved. He believed that Desolate Yuan wasn’t necessarily stronger than Jiang Chen.
Kong Yang looked over at Jiang Chen with astonished eyes. He had already heard about Jiang Chen beforehand, but it’s just today that he saw Jiang Chen in person. He was quite interested in the man who could kill Shi Han, but he didn’t expect his first meeting with Jiang Chen would be in such a scene.
“Desolate Yuan, it’s no use looking at me fiercely because no matter how angry you are, it won’t change the fact that you are the loser. Last time you ran away from the battle. Today, it is your misfortune to meet me again. Of course, if you choose to run away like a mourning dog again, there is still chance.”
Jiang Chen’s tone, words and face were filled with sarcasm. He totally didn’t put Desolate Yuan in his eyes.
“What? He beat Desolate Yuan?”
Many people were shocked, including Kong Yang and Leopard Wei and Kong Yu who was standing beside Jiang Chen. All of their eyes widened due to disbelief, particularly Leopard Wei who was still speculating whether Jiang Chen could defeat Desolate Yuan. He hadn’t thought that the two had battled beforehand. According to Jiang Chen, Desolate Yuan was defeated and ran away.
It was too shocking to hear that the number one genius on the Sky Ranking was defeated by Jiang Chen. They certainly wouldn’t believe it if this wasn’t coming from Jiang Chen’s mouth.
Moreover, they could see the expression on Desolate Yuan’s face. It was a face that had been defeated by Jiang Chen.
“Jiang Chen, I will claim back the insult you brought upon me. Today, I will kill you.” Desolate Yuan said maliciously.
Jiang Chen’s words were like blades impaling his heart. It was the feeling when the wound was tore open bit by bit in the face of countless people. His hate for Jiang Chen now was higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea.
“You won’t have the chance.”
Jiang Chen crossed his hands behind his back while walking to Desolate Yuan one step after the other, blocking Kong Yang and Leopard Wei from the view. Kong Yu hurriedly stepped forward to pull Kong Yang and the seriously injured Leopard Wei.
“Big brother, are you alright?” Kong Yu was worried.
“I’m fine.”
Kong Yang shook his head. Then, he and Leopard Wei took out a red pill each and swallowed it to heal their injuries. Kong Yang stared at Jiang Chen’s back and said, “Jiang Chen, you have to be careful. Desolate Yuan has gotten some benefits in this ancient battlefield. He would be a difficult opponent.”
Even though Jiang Chen had defeated Desolate Yuan, his present strength wasn’t comparable to his previous strength. Well, of course, Kong Yang didn’t know Jiang Chen defeated Desolate Yuan while he was merely an Eighth Grade Minor Saint. It was true that Desolate Yuan had gotten great benefits in this place, but Jiang Chen also got benefits but greater. Jiang Chen had already reached the peak Ninth Grade Minor Saint, which made his combat strength unrivalled. Desolate Yuan was undeniably no match for him.
The two geniuses of Saint Origin Palace were studying Jiang Chen. After returning from Saint Origin Palace, the most they heard was Jiang Chen’s name, his achievements and the feud between him and the five large families.
“Desolate Yuan, I think this man is a difficult opponent, let us join in the battle.”
Desolate Cong, the genius of Saint Origin Palace, said while the other genius of Huo Family was ready to move.
“No, don’t interfere with my business. I must kill him myself.”
Desolate Yuan didn’t accept their help. He didn’t put even the geniuses of Saint Origin Palace in his eyes. Well, it made sense for a number one genius of Desolate Family. He had the right to be this arrogant. He had the right to not put Desolate Cong in his eyes. Although Desolate Cong had gotten a lot of cultivation resources in Saint Origin Palace, he would mostly be defeated by Desolate Yuan if they engaged in a battle.
“You really ought to listen to him though the three of you joining together won’t have much chance either, but it is still better than you fighting me alone.” Jiang Chen shrugged and said flatly.
