Chapter 172 (1/2)

Ling Jian let out an indifferent chuckle, completely ignoring Yu ManTian. In response to the nudge of his heels, the spirited horse gave out a neigh and galloped away. Yu ManTian’s body darted into the air like a dragon soaring out from the ocean, his sword shooting out at a lightning fast speed. Knowing that this burly man had an incredible ability, Ling Jian didn't dare be careless. With a ‘s.h.i.+ng’, his sword was brandished, meeting Yu ManTian’s blade head-on. As the two swords collided, their bodies shook from the impact and Yu ManTian’s ferocious charge was stopped. As the force from his jump ran out, he had no choice but to land back on the ground. But because Ling Jian was already on a horse, he sped up even further from the blow!

Yu ManTian was angered to the point that steam could be seen rising from the top of his head. However, he also knew that Ling Jian’s movement technique was far superior to his. If Ling Jian really wanted to leave, it would be impossible to hold him back. Since his sword was unable to keep Ling Jian behind, he could only watch as Ling Jian escaped. He couldn't help but spit on the ground as he scolded, ”I wonder what kind of a despicable sc.u.m and savage animal would be able to train such an inhumane a.s.sa.s.sin! For such a person to remain alive, it is going against the law of the heavens!”

Yu ManTian was really only trying to vent the pent-up anger in his heart. After all, an a.s.sa.s.sin would never fall for such a provocation, and Yu ManTian had already given up the thought of fighting Ling Jian.

However, Yu ManTian didn’t know that his moment of carelessness had indeed touched Ling Jian’s reverse scale. [1] The huge battle which could have been avoided had broken out again!

In the next instant, Yu ManTian suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around him as a cold and dense killing intent surrounded him. Lifting up his head, he saw a black dressed man with hateful eyes glaring at him! The black dressed man was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, with a strong battle intent and desire to ma.s.sacre the world!

It was Ling Jian who had already left!

At this moment, the dense killing intent and almost crazed battle intent from Ling Jian startled Yu ManTian. What could have enraged this fellow?

It was the last phrase spoken by Yu ManTian that had enraged Ling Jian. Everyone had a bottom line in their hearts; if someone were to cross that line, even a spineless man would fly into a rage! Ling Tian was the reverse scale in Ling Jian’s heart!

Anyone who dares to humiliate my young n.o.ble must pay the price! The price of his life! If it isn’t that person’s life, it will be my own life!

Yu ManTian’s final phrase had insulted Ling Tian. This was something unforgivable in Ling Jian’s heart. If Yu ManTian were to scold Ling Jian, Ling Jian would have been long gone already. But now that he had insulted Ling Tian, this was something that Ling Jian would never be able to endure!

Just this single phrase had determined that the both of them would not stop until one of them died!

If you humiliate the young n.o.ble, DIEEEE!!

No matter who you are!

A life and death battle today can no longer be avoided; it is either your death or mine! The only thing able to wash away such humiliation would be fresh blood!

”Oi? Brat, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you leaving already?” Yu ManTian couldn't help but grow excited, as his aura also began to build up. All is fine as long as you are back. Third Master Yu will teach you a good lesson!

”You, deserve, to, DIE!!” With a chilly tone, Ling Jian said calmly, emphasizing on every single word. You actually dare to insult the deity in my heart! While Ling Jian still looked emotionless, rage was burning deep in his heart. At this moment, he had already forgotten about the gap between the both of them. There was only a single thought in his heart: Kill him!

”Hahaha…” Yu ManTian let out a laugh and said with disdain, ”Just what I wanted! This is not the best place for us to fight, follow me!” As he said that, Yu ManTian flew up his horse and Ling Jian followed him without hesitation. In his eyes, only the person who had insulted his young n.o.ble existed. A person who was about to fight him to the death!

The two horses then left one after another. Ling Jian’s chilly gaze locked onto Yu ManTian with an aura of ruthlessness exploding from his body. So what if your martial arts are higher than mine? Will I, Ling Jian, be afraid of you? Even if I cannot win against you, I am confident of dragging you with me to h.e.l.l! I, Ling Jian, am my young n.o.ble’s sword! Ling Tian’s sword! I will never disgrace the name of my young n.o.ble!

As long as I have a single breath left, no one can insult the young n.o.ble in front of me!

So what if I win? So what if I lose? So what if I live? So what if I die?! They are all not to be feared!

By the river, a peach forest.

Spring had ended and it was the beginning of summer. The originally barren forest was now filled with small fingernail-sized peaches all over the trees. Below the trees, the originally intoxicating petals had already disappeared from the world because of a heavy rain, leaving behind the fragrant earth.
