Chapter 1189 – Yang Shu’s Anger (1/2)

Yang Shu’s Anger

“Wah…”

Jiang Chen’s action created commotion from the whole crowd. Everyone’s eyes went wide, they couldn’t believe and accept the scene ahead of them. Jiang Chen had too much nerve to disable Qu Yuan. One should know that crippling a genius like Qu Yuan was no different than taking his life.

Moreover, the consequences that Jiang Chen would face after this would be serious. Everything changed when he incapacitated Qu Yuan. This would no longer be a common fight between inner disciples. By that time, Yang Shu would never let this matter go easily. While Jiang Chen also had a powerful backer, Tianji Zi, who was a person that couldn’t be trifled with, both of these elders would without a doubt clash.

“Jiang Chen, stop!”

Seeing what happened, Grand Elder Li Zhong was shocked. He had never thought that Jiang Chen would have such audacity. The repercussions would be unimaginable if Jiang Chen crippled Qu Yuan today.

Li Zhong took the decisive move to block the attack without having the time to think. Although interfering at this time would violate the regulations of the life-and-death stage, he felt compelled to do so. As the Grand Elder of the inner sect, he could never watch a true disciple being killed. He would be at a loss of words when the mighty Golden Immortal elder found out about this.

However, Jiang Chen was just too fast. Even with Li Zhong’s speed, it was too late to stop the attack. With a sound of ‘ka cha’, Jiang Chen’s palm landed heavily on Qu Yuan’s vulnerable Qi Sea.

*Barf!*

Qu Yuan opened his mouth and spewed out another mouthful of blood before his Qi Sea shattered. All of the energy inside dissipated in an instant.

Qu Yuan was dumbfounded while feeling his present state. His face was pale-grey and in deep despair. His ability to reach the half-step Divine Immortal realm at his age showed how special his talent and how bright his future was. But now, everything was finished.

He was supposed to be one of the top geniuses in the pyramid. All of a sudden, he was transformed into a cripple that could no longer cultivate. That wasn’t something that anyone could bear. Although he was still alive, he was nothing more than a walking corpse.

“No…”

Qu Yuan let out a despairing roar. He now felt that his life had suddenly become dark, dim and meaningless. Although he hated Jiang Chen to the bone, he couldn’t do anything about it, he knew that he wouldn’t have a chance of taking revenge.

At the same time, he was in complete regret. That was right, he was regretting. He regretted provoking a disastrous star like Jiang Chen for no good reason. If he didn’t do so, he wouldn’t have ended like this, both of them would never have any clashes and he would still get to be the miniature emperor in the inner sect.

However, there wasn’t a medicine that could cure regret.

“Jiang Chen, you…”

Li Zhong’s facial expression changed dramatically when he reached the stage. He had never thought that Jiang Chen would be so decisive and cruel.

Jiang Chen turned, stared at Li Zhong fearlessly and spoke coldly, “Grand Elder, haven’t I given you face by keeping him alive? Did you think that your reputation was enough to guarantee his safety? This is the life-and-death stage and you rushed here just to stop me. Aren’t you afraid of breaking the rules? Moreover, saving Qu Yuan is similar to going against me. You said that Qu Yuan wasn’t a person to be trifled with, didn’t that apply to me as well? Qu Yuan has a strong backer, but the same goes to me. Grand Elder, I advise you to stay out of this matter.”

Jiang Chen’s words were incredibly apathetic. There were no politeness and respect for the Grand Elder. Regardless of what the reasons were, the fact that Li Zhong attempted to stop him disgusted him. If it wasn’t because of the old man helping him before, he would never show any quarters to this old man.

*Hiss…*

Grand Elder was shocked by Jiang Chen’s cold eyes and his innate superior aura even influenced the elder’s soul.
