Chapter 1089 – Betrayal (1/2)

Betrayal

8/14 chapters!

*Whish!*

At this point, everyone was shocked. All their eyes were fixed at the sky above. Many of Huang Family’s experts who were smiling a moment ago had their faces paralyzed. In the Immortal World, only those who had reached the Heaven Immortal realm could borrow the spatial current to travel in the air. No cultivator below this level would have the ability to fly. Huang Haoran must have acquired some kind of rare ability to be able to hover in the air temporarily. But what blew their minds more was that Jiang Chen could fly as well, and his speed seemed a lot faster than Huang Haoran and his wings were much more attractive compared to Huang Haoran’s.

“Like I’ve said, flying isn’t a big deal.”

Jiang Chen grinned at his opponent, then attacked with the Heavenly Saint Sword. This slash moved as fast as lightning and it was sharp and dazzling like a light that had just flashed by, leaving a trail of fading brilliance behind.

“Argh…”

Huang Haoran uttered a mournful cry as his head was severed off of his body. His corpse fell from the sky and landed with a thud. According to the facts, Huang Haoran shouldn’t be this incompetent, he was a late Earth Immortal expert after all. However, he had consumed much of his strength hovering in the sky, causing his combat strength to plummet. His sparkling wings weren’t Jiang Chen’s Flaming Wings which had already been fused into his body, like one of his body parts.

More importantly, his mind was disorientated when he saw Jiang Chen soar to the sky, making him totally powerless to resist Jiang Chen’s single slash.

“Haoran.”

Huang Second exclaimed immediately with a shrill voice. Huang Haoran was his biological son and the greatest pride of his life. Today, his son was killed ruthlessly by Jiang Chen while fighting for the glory of Huang Family. How could he actually accept such a tragic result?

“Jiang Chen, I will shred you to a million pieces.”

Huang Second raged. Both of his eyes turned fiery red like a frenzied lion. He immediately flew skywards and lunged at Jiang Chen.

Upon seeing what was happening, Yan Dongliu naturally wouldn’t dare delay his response, he instantly flew in front of Jiang Chen.

“Huang Second, what are you trying to do?”

Yan Dongliu roared, however, he was feeling extremely happy in his heart as he had made the right bet. Jiang Chen had given him too much of a surprise. Now that they had won two fights, the ore mine would naturally become theirs. Additionally, he knew that Jiang Chen’s future would certainly be boundless. He believed that in the near future, it would be the Prefecture depending on Jiang Chen instead of the other way round. Therefore, he couldn’t just watch Huang Second kill this great talent just like that.

“Yan Dongliu, get out of the way! This man has killed my son. I must shred him into a million pieces today!”

Huang Second was overwhelmed with grief and anger.

“Humph! Don’t you forget that this is a competition! Huang Haoran died because of his incompetence. Didn’t your family declare to kill Jiang Chen just now? Are you telling me that only you people can kill Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen isn’t allowed to kill any one of your people? Huang Family may be strong, but not in front of me. So stop making excuses now. If you lose, then you lose. If you can’t accept it, get the hell out of here!”

Yan Dongliu snorted, unleashing the majestic aura of being a City Lord. Jiang Chen just stood behind him with a calm face. Yan Dongliu’s act of protecting him didn’t disappoint him. In fact, even if the City Lord didn’t stood up against Huang Second, he would have no problem escaping from this senior.

“Huang Second, Huang Family has lost the competition. You should settle the grudges between you and Jiang Chen privately. Today’s a fair battle between two major powers. If you insist in doing so, are you not putting me, the judge of the competition in your eyes?”

Nie Yiyuan’s tone turned colder. Many of them could see that he was taking the side of Prefecture. In Yan City, Yi Yuan Association had always been the neutral party, but the situation had already changed. Now that the Prefecture had gotten the ore mine, their overall strength would certainly become way more powerful than Huang Family sooner or later. If he didn’t choose to stand on the Prefecture’s side now, he would be out of his mind.

“Second Brother, come down.”

Said Huang Ying coldly. Now that Yi Yuan Association had stood on the Prefecture’s side, it would be favorable to them if a fight broke out.

Huang Second gnashed his teeth. He understood that it was virtually impossible to kill Jiang Chen with Yan Dongliu protecting him. He would have to suppress his desire to take revenge for now.

“Little beast, I absolutely won’t forget today’s matter.”

Huang Second darted a reptilian glare at Jiang Chen, threatened to take revenge on him, and flew back to Huang Family’s camp.

“Let’s go.”

Huang Ying glanced at the ore mine. Even though he seemed extremely reluctant, he could do nothing about it. He then ground his teeth and led his people back to Yan City. If there was only the Prefecture’s forces here, he would probably do whatever it takes to snatch the ore mine. With the interference of Yi Yuan Association, he had no choice but to honor the agreement. Otherwise, his family would suffer greater losses.

Yan Dongliu and Jiang Chen descended from the sky. Jiang Chen had returned to his brilliant-looking and youthful appearance. If one didn’t witness his beast form just now, one wouldn’t be able to link that scary killing scene to him.

“Big Brother Jiang, you’re amazing!”

Yan Qingcheng came to Jiang Chen’s side with a delightful look, staring at Jiang Chen with a pair of infatuated eyes. If it wasn’t because of the trace of rationality that existed in her mind, she would’ve straightaway put her arms around Jiang Chen.

Yuan Chengjun was absorbing everything with his eyes, it increased his hatred for Jiang Chen even more. Today, the failure of killing Jiang Chen disappointed him greatly. Anyone would be able to see that Yan Qingcheng had already fallen in love with Jiang Chen. To put bluntly, as long as Jiang Chen was here, he would never have a chance.

“Ai!”
