Chapter 686: Great Battle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Yi’s words were thorough, and the atmosphere was in a state of hostility. Chief Leng’s expression was cold as a block of ice while his eyes had narrowed even more. If one was to look closely, they would be able to clearly see that Chief Leng’s eyes were filled with chilling light and killing intent—as Jiang Yi had completely infuriated him.
Chief Li was that nice individual in the city, and he always liked to be the mediator when there were disputes among the chiefs. However, today, he was silent; and his expression didn’t look very pleasant. This nice person was a little infuriated.
Jiang Yi didn’t know how to appreciate the kindness. Chief Leng had already been very giving, and Jiang Yi was actually prepared to fall out with him over a few irrelevant henchmen.
Big Brother Heng revealed a trace of a malevolent smile as he was happy to see this result. Jiang Yi might be mad, but he was just a single person, and would those subordinates that he had just taken in be willing to risk their lives for him? A single order from Chief Leng would get everyone standing while Jiang Yi would have to go against multiple individuals.
Chief Leng was ranked no.2 in the city, and he didn’t climb up the ranking with his bluffs. He had climbed up there after experiencing many b.l.o.o.d.y battles. Ten years ago when Big Brother Heng had yet to be one of the chiefs, he had once seen Chief Leng making a move and smas.h.i.+ng another chief into mince. After that battle, he had always followed Chief Leng as his leader.
Big Brother Heng felt that Jiang Yi was very dangerous, but Chief Leng felt even more dangerous. That horrifying palm strike was still buried in his heart, and in his opinion, Jiang Yi was definitely not a match for Chief Leng.
When two tigers fought, one would definitely be injured!
It didn’t matter who was the survivor as it would still be beneficial to Big Brother Heng. It was needless to say that it would be best for Jiang Yi to perish, but if Chief Leng was to perish or get injured, then it wouldn’t be as humiliating for Big Brother Heng. Since Chief Leng wasn’t even a match for Jiang Yi, then it was normal for Big Brother Heng to kneel down.
Everyone’s eyes were looking at Chief Leng and waiting for him to make a decision.
Chief Leng didn’t disappoint everyone as he stood up and let out grim laughter. “Since Chief Jiang is in such spirits, let us go out of the city to exchange some moves.”
Jiang Yi laughed lightly and nodded before getting up and walking outside. He turned sideways and spoke, “Jiang n.o.body will wait outside the eastern gate of the city and wait for Chief Leng to give me some pointers.”
Clang!
After Jiang Yi walked out, everyone burst into an uproar. Some were cursing out loud, some were sneering and scoffing, some were flattering Chief Leng, but all of them had an aggressive aura as they followed Chief Leng and walked outside.
“Let’s go and see Chief Leng’s performance!”
Chief Li got up after Chief Leng and waved his hand to instruct his men to go observe the fight. As everyone walked out and walked towards the eastern side of the city in a grandiose manner, the city was instantly in a sensation.
Countless scouts in the Hundred Flower Inn immediately went back to report while Chief Ying, Chief Hei, and the others quickly led their men out of the city as well. Those martial artists that didn’t go to the thunder mountains were all flared up as they flocked out of the city to see this great battle.
“Young Lady, the fight is going to start!”
Xiao Hong also received the news quickly and immediately went to report inside the courtyard. When Big Sister Bell heard the information, she didn’t make any moves. Xiao Hong saw Big Sister Bell’s reaction and asked with a doubt, “Young Lady, are you not going to spectate such a great battle?”
“What is there to watch?!”
Big Sister Bell laughed lightly and said, “Don’t ask so much. You will understand when the results are out.”
…
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Outside the eastern city gate, countless people rushed out madly. There were also plenty of the Lu clansmen that were spectating from the city walls.
Today’s battle was worth watching as one side of a veteran chief who had dominated in the city for more than ten years, the individual that was only inferior to Big Sister Bell. The other side was a new and uprising chief, who killed two chiefs—Ba Dao and Chief Long. He had more than a dozen Heaven Monarch subordinates and even made Big Brother Heng kneel down. The two of them were both influential figures, and since they were going to have a life or death battle, it was definitely a huge commotion.
Soon enough, almost all the people in the city had come out. There were at least a few thousand individuals who were standing by the city walls and didn’t dare to get too near. They were afraid they might be attacked by the aftershocks which might smash them into pieces.
Jiang Yi stood high on the mountain peak of a thunder ridge on the left. Niu Deng and Niu w.a.n.g didn’t dare to follow him—not because they weren’t loyal but because Jiang Yi had stopped them from joining the battle. The two of them knew clearly that if Jiang Yi was to release the Thunder Fire, there wouldn’t even be sc.r.a.ps left from their bodies.
Shh-shh-shh!
Chief Leng finally got out of the city, but he was walking very slowly as though he was waiting for all the people in the city to come out and spectate the battle. He was followed behind by Big Brother Heng and more than 30 Heaven Monarchs. He looked at Jiang Yi who was standing far away on the thunder ridge and spoke in a solemn voice, “Chief Jiang, there is still time for you to regret now. I, Old Leng, normally will not be merciful once I make my move.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi let out a long laugh and said, “Chief Leng, don’t have to hold back. If you can kill Jiang n.o.body, it just means that his strength is incompetent; and he cannot blame anyone else. Of course… Jiang n.o.body would also not be merciful. Chief Leng, be careful!”
“En, En.”
The martial artists observing from the city walls, and the Lu Clan’s soldiers on top of the city walls were all nodding. It didn’t matter what the result of the battle was. At least, the two of them had great manners and weren’t utterly discomfited; neither did they curse or swear. It seemed like they were about to compete in a martial contest.
“Alright!”
Chief Leng burst out with a roar and soared to the sky. His black long robes fluttered non-stop, like a goshawk rapidly approaching Jiang Yi.
He didn’t have any weapons on him and simply condensed a golden divine s.h.i.+eld. Once the divine s.h.i.+eld was out, the spatial zone fluctuated with astounding aura presence. It was so horrific that even the air within the 100-mile radius were all frozen.
“Chief Leng, let’s fight in the thunder ridge and not hurt the innocent people.”
Jiang Yi moved as well. Stepping off with a single leg, he rushed inside the thunder ridge like a divine rainbow. Chief Leng’s eyes flashed, and he actually didn’t make a move immediately. Instead, he nodded and replied, “That is fine. I agree with your proposal.”
Swis.h.!.+
The two figures flew into the thunder ridge like divine rainbows and quickly vanished from everyone’s sight. Everyone sighed with pity as the two of them obviously didn’t want the others to see their unique skills. Since that was the case, they couldn’t purposely go over to the thunder ridge and observe.
“Hehe, I will go and take a look!”
Big Brother Heng’s eyes flashed viciously. Chief Leng didn’t ask everyone to surround Jiang Yi for the battle. Hence, they remained in place. Big Brother Heng was different. He wanted to sneak over, and if there was a chance, he would definitely a.s.sa.s.sinate and kill Jiang Yi.
“En?”
The brothers Niu Deng and Niu w.a.n.g had a change in expression and were about to go obstruct Big Brother Heng, but Chief Leng’s subordinates all moved and locked their murderous aura on the two of them.
Jiang Yi’s other subordinates had already heard the news and came to watch, but if Niu Deng and Niu w.a.n.g didn’t dare to move, they definitely didn’t dare to move recklessly either. They had no choice but to watch as Big Brother Heng rush into the thunder ridge like a crafty fox.
“Despicable and shameless!”
Chief Hei muttered, but none dared to voice out and stop Big Brother Heng. It was actually a good thing if Jiang Yi was killed.
At the side, Smiling Tiger was grinning while his fat mouth was laughing and talking, “Keke, it doesn’t matter if Big Brother Heng goes over or not. Chief Jiang is dead for sure this time. Putting aside everything else… Chief Leng has heaven-defying defenses that even if all of us worked together we still wouldn’t be able to break it, right?”
“That’s right!”
Chief Li nodded and spoke with a sigh, “Does everyone still remember Chief Leng’s battle ten years ago? Chief Hong had blasted him for more than five minutes, and Chief Leng acted as though nothing had happened. Ten years have pa.s.sed since then, and Chief Leng didn’t make any more moves. Who knows what level his strength is at now?”
Chief Ying scoffed and spoke indistinctly, “No need for guesses. Chief Jiang is definitely going to perish. Everyone, prepare to celebrate for Chief Leng…”
