Chapter 226: Deterrence

Tianxiong Lie had a look of utter shock on his face. Not even in his wildest of dreams could he imagine that the weak ant Jian Chen from one year ago would go through such a drastic change in strength. An even more inconceivable thing was to think about himself dying at the hands of Jian Chen.

Originally, when he had first heard about how a youth named Jian Chen had eradicated the Zhou Clan, Tianxiong Lie’s first thought was of the youth that had murdered his son Tianxiong Kang from one year ago. He had thought that Jian Chen had gotten help killing the Zhou clan. But even thinking about how Jian Chen could kill the Zhou clan who was weaker than the Tianxiong clan was still inconceivable to Tianxiong Lie. Yet this still wasn’t enough to worry him because the Tianxiong clan’s strength was far higher. If he were to invite a few strong people to unite with him, then he would be a paragon of power within Wake City.

Tianxiong Lie invited a few good friends and even united with two other men of considerable power in different clans to deal with the help that Jian Chen would bring or at the very least that he ensure wouldn’t run away. After all, Jian Chen hadn’t even been able to handle a few blows from him a year ago, so today was the day that Tianxiong Lie had thought he would finally avenge his son’s death.

It was really unbelievable to see such a drastic transformation of Jian Chen when compared to the Jian Chen of the past who could only ambush people and run away due to his weak strength. In the time span of a single year, Jian Chen’s new strength had turned the heavens on its head and transformed the weakling into a strong expert capable of killing an entire clan or two.

Tianxiong Lie’s head had instantly come up with these thoughts, but even at that moment, he had felt that whatever was happening right in front of his eyes was nothing more than a dream. He had been a Great Saint Master, his brother was a Great Saint Master, and even the other seven he was with were all Great Saint Masters, but they weren’t even able to kill or even capture Jian Chen. How could this be anything but a nightmare?

The life force within his body was already beginning to spill out as Tianxiong Lie remained speechless, Slowly, his unwilling face began to fall toward the ground.

Tianxiong Daoyun and the other seven men all stared at the collapsed Tianxiong Lie with a looks of utter disbelief.

Even the hundred clansmen and guards surrounding the fight all looked slowly at Jian Chen before looking back to Tianxiong Lie without a single word.

The leader of Wake City’s number one clan, a Great Saint Master with an earth attribute Saint Force, Tianxiong Lie, had fallen.

“Big brother…” Suddenly, a cry of anguish came out from Tianxiong Daoyun. With a face full of grief, he swung into action and charged at Jian Chen ready to slice him in two.

Seeing the explosive reaction from him, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. The Light Wind Sword became a flurry of sword illusions as it struck at Tianxiong Daoyun’s sword.

When the two made contact, another metallic ring could be heard as a large amount of energy pulsated and shook the air as it flew away from the two weapons.
