Chapter 204.3: Teammates Like A Bunch of Pigs
He had seen her block that highly lethal strike for him with his own eyes back on that day. When he saw her fall into unconsciousness, he really did not know how to feel, but had felt an unbearable wrenching pain in his heart, like needles piercing into it.
With that thought still on his mind, Xi Zhan Chen suddenly noticed the tall slender figure seated right beside the young lady. It was that mysterious and regal purple robed man who suddenly appeared, who went against the odds in that critical situation to save them.
The enormous dark zombie that he had been completely helpless against could not even stand up against one single strike under that man’s hands. It was an absolute instant kill, the man’s powers so strong that he had no choice but to admit defeat against that man.
Though Xi Zhan Chen could easily be considered to be one of the most highly skilled pugilists throughout these lands, his powers was far beneath that man in comparison. The one thing that he could be very certain of was that the man could not possibly be from these low leveled Constellation Lands.
He could very well have come down from above…..
Upon seeing the person who just stepped in through the door, Ji Yan Long was rather surprised. He then said with a laugh: “To think that you did not leave the Valley today. The sun must have risen up from the west today.”
Although Xi Zhan Chen was the leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins Temple, he seldom handled any of its affairs, all the tasks managed by a few of his subordinates. His personality was a little strange, never fond of noisy and crowded events like this, always hiding far away and would only return about ten days to half a month later.
So it was rather bizarre this time. Not only had he not shied away from the event, he had even come here into the guest banquet hall. And since he had come, that would also mean that he was going to partic.i.p.ate in the Friendship Meet.
Upon seeing Xi Zhan Chen, Yan Jue’s face also lit up with joy. He immediately went over to the man in a few strides and said: “Chief, it’s great that you’ve come!”
Everyone was still trying to guess at the black robe man’s ident.i.ty and when they heard Yan Jue address the man as Chief, everybody could not help but be stunned. Yan Jue was among the top ten a.s.sa.s.sins in the a.s.sa.s.sins Temple and an ent.i.ty that was more revered than the Carefree Valley’s Gold Badge a.s.sa.s.sins. For a person to be addressed by Yan Jue as Chief, there was only just one man.
Ji Yan Long smiled and then said to everyone in the hall: “This is a good sign for this year’s Friendship Meet. Even the Temple Chief of the a.s.sa.s.sins Temple who had never once taken part for so many years has come.”
Xi Zhan Chen’s gaze did not turn as he went walking over to an empty seat to sit himself down, not saying a single word the entire time. Towards Ji Yan Long’s and Yan Jue’s warm welcome, he did not show the slightest response, his entire person seemingly exceptionally cold and aloof.
He was rather different from the time he met Qing Yu in the Faint Mist Sect’s forbidden grounds, seemingly rather unfamiliar. He had clearly been both pa.s.sionate and easy to talk to back in the forbidden grounds but the man at that moment felt to be highly aloof, and detached from the rest of the world, polar opposites of two different people.
