Chapter 333: Today, Until One of Us Dies
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The blue, spherical energy flew down and ripped a hole in the tactical formation of the Peak of the Heavenly King. It smashed into the peak in the end.
The expected explosion didn’t happen, since the energy cannon was still moving. It tore the Peak of the Heavenly King open from the middle. The whole mountain started to fall apart.
The crowd watching thought it was the end of the world. The mountain’s collapse blared in their ears.
Disciples that had run out of the Peak of the Heavenly King found themselves lucky. If they had stayed there, they would have died.
By then, the energy cannon had arrived at the bottom of the Peak of the Heavenly King, s.h.i.+ning brilliantly.
When the brightness of the light had achieved its peak, the cannon exploded again with a bang and shattered the almost ruined Peak of the Heavenly King further.
When the light had finally dimmed, the Peak of the Heavenly King had disappeared.
The disappearance of the whole mountain left a wide s.p.a.ce that looked empty.
As if the whole mountain had been moved away, there wasn’t a trace left.
“What kind of attack is this?!”
After a long silence, people made an effort to swallow their saliva and gave the most shocked exclamations of their lives.
It made the three grand elders’ flesh crawl.
Although it was said that Reaching Heaven States were able to remove mountains and drain seas, even those in Cloud Nine had to try their best to collapse a mountain.
But in no way could they achieve something like this with not even a trace left.
The ground was remarkably flat and smooth. There were no dips in it at all. It meant that the strength of this attack had been completely under his control and he was completely capable of exerting even greater power.
What will Ning Haotian think when he comes?
It was the question on everyone’s mind.
Many people were imagining, but they didn’t think their imaginations were good enough. They were eager to see Ning Haotian’s expression with their own eyes.
Their wish was satisfied. The explosion of the Devastator had shaken the whole Natural Law School.
The pa.s.sage to the least eye-catching mountain was open. People kept coming from it and heading there, Ning Haotian among them.
Besides him, leader Su Xiuyi, vice leader Jiang Wei, and the Three Clarities of Natural Law had also come.
It had been more than ten years since the last time so many big shots had been together in one place.
When they had arrived at the Peak of the Heavenly King, they were in a daze, especially Ning Haotian, who was looking around for his Peak of the Heavenly King.
Seeing his confused expression, the onlookers tried very hard not to burst out in laughter.
The disciples of the Peak of the Heavenly King looked at each other. They didn’t have the courage to tell him what had happened.
In the end, it was the three grand elders in charge of the Natural Law School that told him.
“My Peak of the Heavenly King disappeared?”
Ning Haotian was shocked. He stared at the flat ground that looked so incompatible with the surrounding landscape.
The familiar landscape around told Ning Haotian his peak had been devastated. Not a single trace of it had been left behind.
He grimaced, growling Jiang Chen’s name.
“Jiang Chen!!”
“Are you angry? Did you think this would happen to you when you attacked my Red Cloud Peak?”
Jiang Chen jumped off the s.h.i.+p and landed before the grand elders and the leader.
“Jiang Chen, do you know that what you did is an attack on the Natural Law School?” vice leader Jiang Wei said coldly with a sullen face.
“Oh? What about Ning Haotian? He destroyed my Red Cloud Peak and hurt my clansmen,” said Jiang Chen.
“You’re not a member of the Natural Law School anymore. We can’t treat you the same as others,” Fu Hongxue, one of the Three Clarities of Natural Law, said unkindly.
These people had once been proud of Jiang Chen. They had been happy from the bottom of their hearts for Jiang Chen since he had earned the chance to go to the Sacred Inst.i.tute.
But what he had done that day was too much.
“The Natural Law School has made things difficult for my clansmen more than once. You regard me as garbage and regard Ning Haotian as gold. Why should I continue to be your disciple?” said Jiang Chen.
“You’re so ungrateful. Now that you have some achievements, you’re speaking to us like this. What an ungrateful person you are!” Liu Jianqing swore.
Jiang Chen stayed calm. He said loudly, “Yeah? Let me ask you one thing. What practice resources did I enjoy in the Natural Law School? What did you do to train me? Did you impart any methods to me?”
These questions stumped all of the grand elders.
“You were practicing in the Natural Law School. We gave you the Red Cloud Peak—”
“I could live at the Red Cloud Peak because I fixed the great formation of the mountain protection there. I can tell you clearly that the Natural Law School could have potentially had problems for dozens of years if I hadn’t fixed the problem of the great formation,” Jiang Chen interrupted a grand elder and said.
“After becoming a senior disciple, all of my contributions came from the three panaceas I refined.
“By the way, the Natural Law School has had three kinds of panaceas for more than one year up to today. How much of a profit have you made from them?”
All of the grand elders were embarra.s.sed. None of them answered, especially the Medicine Elder, who felt extremely sorry for Jiang Chen.
“The most interesting part is that the cut of the panaceas you gave me was in contributions instead of yuan stones. I’ve never complained about that, because I treated it as my way of paying you back.
“But although I was so loyal to the Natural Law School, although I made so many contributions, none of you supported me firmly.”
Jiang Chen’s words forced the top figures of the Natural Law School into silence.
The school had helped Jiang Chen make much progress.
That was true, but the contributions Jiang Chen had made to the school were far more than that.
If he had attended other schools, they would have treated him as a hero.
In fact, he would have left the Natural Law School long time ago if it were not for its geographic advantage.
However, the Hundred Thousand Mountains was so close to the Natural Law School. That was the only reason that he had been struggling until this day.
“You’re really a chatterbox. If you had so many complaints, what did you do about them? Only now are you telling us these things. How ridiculous!”
Ning Haotian had been silent, holding his temper. His voice was ice cold.
“By the way, Ning Haotian, you had so many advantages before, but you weren’t able to stop me rising above you. How weak,” Jiang Chen scorned, making no concession.
“Huh, I was too lazy to deal with a clown. You really think you’re so great? That’s ridiculous,” Ning Haotian said with disdain.
“Yeah? You were that lazy?”
Jiang Chen waved an arm and a dead body fell from the wars.h.i.+p. It stopped before the crowd with an invisible energy supporting it.
“Ning Haotian, do you recognize your master?” Jiang Chen sneered.
Ning Haotian opened his eyes wide. He took several steps back, as if he was receiving a heavy punch to the chest, staring at Yuan Hong’s corpse.
“Jiang Chen! Yuan Hong used to be an elder here. That’s too much!” Liu Jianqing shouted.
“What could I do? He came to kill me first, but of course, you think I should have stood there and let him kill me. I’m sorry. I let you down,” said Jiang Chen.
“Hem, stop talking nonsense here.” Liu Jianqing was very unhappy, but he was obviously less aggressive.
Suddenly, Ning Haotian’s voice echoed in the universe.
“Jiang Chen, today, we won’t be done until one of us dies.”
