Chapter 698: Foolish a.s.sa.s.sins
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Reply! Is he Jiang Chen or Jiang Yao?”
After Jiang Chen left the s.h.i.+p, the six a.s.sa.s.sins started encircling Ji Yinyi, and they transmitted their voices at her, and questioned her.
Those a.s.sa.s.sins wore clothes, which possessed a concealment effect, and a camouflage effect, and Ji Yinyi couldn’t discern which one of them was speaking.
“Jiang Chen!” Ji Yinyi replied without even giving it a second thought.
“Hehe!”
It seemed like the six a.s.sa.s.sins became certain of it now, and they laughed in disdain.
If Ji Yinyi’s reply was Jiang Yao, it would really seem fishy for her to give such a reply while she was in such a predicament.
Energy fluctuations started surging within the a.s.sa.s.sins’ bodies. They were undetectable like a calm lake’s undercurrent.
Ji Yinyi was aware that it was due to the battle clothes, which brought great a.s.sistance to the a.s.sa.s.sins, and helped them lower their enemies’ guard.
The reason why she detected them now was due to the fact that they were in an advantageous position, and didn’t fear being noticed by her.
The six a.s.sa.s.sins attacked at the same moment for higher efficiency, and they wanted to take her life with a single strike.
“It’s time now!”
Jiang Chen’s voice transmitted from below the s.h.i.+p at this moment.
Ji Yinyi realized immediately what he meant. She activated the flying s.h.i.+p, and used a great propelling power, and pushed out the six a.s.sa.s.sins.
Jiang Chen jumped into the s.h.i.+p at this moment, while holding a big stone.
“He’s Jiang Chen, he’s Jiang Chen.”
The six a.s.sa.s.sins reacted, and started attacking the flying s.h.i.+p quickly.
But, Ji Yinyi reacted quickly, and moved the flying s.h.i.+p away, avoided their attacks, and fled into the Forbidden Desolate Land.
“Hateful!”
The six a.s.sa.s.sins quickly rode their own vehicles, and chased after them.
“What are you holding in your hand?” Ji Yinyi was looking back from time to time, while observing the big stone in Jiang Chen’s hand curiously.
“It’s an object, which can intercept all Itinerary Stones, and lead people into the Death Ground set by them.”
Jiang Chen said, “They can’t control our flying s.h.i.+p without this object.”
“But, they will still chase after us.”
Sure enough! The six a.s.sa.s.sins appeared in their line of sight. They had six vehicles, which seemed like bathing tubs, and they all sat within them.
“Do you want to kill me?”
Jiang Chen walked to the end of the s.h.i.+p, while he took back his real appearance, and shouted loudly, “I’m wondering what organization a.s.sa.s.sins like you belong to? Why’s your IQ almost near zero?”
The a.s.sa.s.sins were so infuriated by his words that their faces became twisted.
They ended up letting Jiang Chen slip by while they were then capable of killing him in such a situation.
“You can’t run away!”
The a.s.sa.s.sins’ vehicles were faster because they were lighter, however, they still had low defense, and their protective barrier wasn’t as powerful as the flying s.h.i.+p.
However, it wouldn’t be really a problem for the a.s.sa.s.sins as long as they didn’t run into a large number of Desolate Spirits.
People couldn’t after all attack from long-range in the Forbidden Desolate Land, and they would all fight in their opponents’ vehicles.
They were specialized in the interception of targets in the Forbidden Desolate Land, and they had abundant experience, and they were also fond of the fact that there wouldn’t be any trace left behind in the Forbidden Desolate Land.
“Slow down slightly,” Jiang Chen said.
“What?” Ji Yinyi wasn’t sure whether she really understood what he meant.
“Let them get into my attack range,” Jiang Chen explained it clearly.
“Oh, that’s right!” Ji Yinyi suddenly realized, and recalled, that Jiang Chen’s lightning could attack enemies even in the Forbidden Desolate Land.
Jiang Chen waved his hands, as he spoke, “I will give you just a single opportunity. Stop here, and don’t chase us, otherwise, you will end up bearing such a choice’s consequences.”
“You are just trying to deceive us!”
“Idiot!”
“Did you a.s.sume that such words could frighten us?”
The a.s.sa.s.sins took it disdainfully, Even a trifling Spiritual Venerable dared to utter such words.
“Since it’s the case.”
Lightning flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes before the a.s.sa.s.sins’ gaze.
“Fifth Lightning Heaven Will Palm!”
This palm strike’s name wasn’t something Jiang Chen chose at random, and it was an offensive technique in the Holy Skill.
The Lightning power’s might was stronger than when he used it on his sword, and it was similar to the Divine Dragon Martial Technique.
As he thrust his palm at them, it seemed like a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. It was as thick as a bucket, and was shaped like a tree crown, and it struck the vehicle of the a.s.sa.s.sin at the front.
A black smoke quickly rose from the vehicle, and it couldn’t proceed further on, and was left behind.
“What?” The other five a.s.sa.s.sins were shocked.
Jiang Chen was even more earnest when he used such a palm strike this time than when he faced the Desolate Spirits, as he was now facing Celestial Venerables.
However, he still managed to just damage the vehicle, and didn’t manage to injure the Celestial Venerable.
“You will die before you thrust your palm again!” An angry voice echoed.
“But, do you have enough vehicles to share between you all?” Jiang Chen revealed a mysterious smile as he spoke.
The a.s.sa.s.sins realized that the current situation was anything but rea.s.suring when they saw the smile plastered on his face.
They saw just after their comrade grabbing a vehicle crazily like a Desolate Spirit, and he started trying madly to squeeze in.
“Let me in, Let me in.”
This section of the Forbidden Desolate Land had a terrifying temperature, and in just a short while, the a.s.sa.s.sin’s whole body was charred, yet they still couldn’t see any flames here.
“The vehicle can accommodate just a single person.”
The a.s.sa.s.sin, who was enc.u.mbered by his comrade, became fl.u.s.tered and exasperated. He would surely not let him in.
“Why you are all…”
The other a.s.sa.s.sins were just about to speak, yet they quickly realized the danger engulfing them.
As the two people fought over the vehicle, it was damaged greatly, which left two a.s.sa.s.sins without any vehicles. They both decisively pounced at their nearby comrades.
“Both of you get lost, get lost!” How could the four a.s.sa.s.sins care about chasing Jiang Chen any longer, they immediately ran away in all directions.
“Idiots!”
Jiang Chen laughed disdainfully as he witnessed the a.s.sa.s.sins disappearing from his line of sight.
In the Forbidden Desolate Lan, as long as one left the other’s line of sight, it would be impossible for the latter to continue chasing him.
While Jiang Chen was returning to the bow of the s.h.i.+p, Ji Yinyi, who witnessed everything, said, “I understood a matter.”
“What’s it?” Jiang Chen asked curiously.
“I must never become your enemy,” Ji Yinyi spoke sincerely.
Ji Yinyi, and Jiang Chen didn’t attack all from beginning to end, yet six Celestial Venerable Realm a.s.sa.s.sins ended up in such a miserable state.
Moreover, as she carefully thought about what happened, she noticed that Jiang Chen asked the six a.s.sa.s.sins to leave her alive for his enjoyment just to gain more time.
He was good at everything, and each intricate detail was handled by him perfectly.
What Jiang Chen possessed was different from cunningness, and shrewdness, and it was a sort of wiseness in dealing with danger.
“It’s just that those a.s.sa.s.sins are too stupid,” Jiang Chen said.
“I was still wondering how did you manage to survive until today despite how much you loved getting the limelight.” Ji Yinyi became a.s.sured of her conclusion, and understood many other things.
“I said that I always kept a low-profile,” Jiang Chen spoke helplessly.
“It’s because you are capable of resolving all crises. I really envy you.”
Ji Yinyi didn’t listen at all to his explication, and she fell into a strange state at this moment.
If one could live confidently and at ease, who would be willing to live in fear, and be obliged to compromise for survival?
However, the world was too dangerous, and if someone, who didn’t have great power or a powerful backer, didn’t learn how to lower his head and behave, he would die quickly.
Jiang Chen chose the other path. He wasn’t willing to yield to anyone, yet he still managed to survive until now.
He was capable of living in such a way, and didn’t need to lower his head.
“The Jiang family brought great trouble upon itself.”
She was aware of the grudges between the Jiang family and Jiang Chen, and she felt now like the mountain-like Jiang family provoked a terrifying existence.
Jiang Chen didn’t say anything more when he saw her current state, and he started examining the big stone, which intercepted the signal. He wanted to see how could he use it, and prepare himself well.
