The people noticed him soon, because on the crowded street only around the drum was there s.p.a.ce.
“Is he…?”
Because of what Ning Haotian had just said, people certainly would a.s.sociate this person with challenging him to a fight.
The people stared at him, trying to see through him. They were soon surprised by Jiang Chen’s look and state. Jiang Chen was really too young. He was barely a youngster. However, as young as he was, he was already a Star Venerable. It was incredible to the folks of the Three Middle Realms.
“He…he and Jiang Chen look very much alike.”
“Gos.h.!.+ It’s true. They are almost the same!”
“Is he…is he Jiang Chen’s younger brother?”
“He has come to the Three Middle Realms also?”
Jiang Chen, without any disguise, caught people’s attention immediately. The eyes of Jiang Chen’s supporters lit up, as if they could see Jiang Chen alive again.
“You!” Tang s.h.i.+ya, standing beside the drum, turned pale. She was gasping for air. Confronting Jiang Chen again, she found that, besides hatred, what she felt more was fear.
Jiang Chen smiled at her coldly, striking the drum with tremendous strength. The drum turned to ashes in the fire of thunder after only one strike. The drumbeat sounded like roaring thunder. Then Jiang Chen looked up at Ning Haotian and flicked his fingers. A sharp whoos.h.i.+ng sound came out.
A few people saw a thing as small as a piece of gravel flying out. Ning Haotian caught it and found it was an elixir.
“This is a super heaven elixir. It can help you recover quickly,” Jiang Chen said.
Ning Haotian raised his eyebrows. Closing his fist with effort, he smashed the heaven elixir.
“I don’t need it. I’m still in my prime,” Ning Haotian said.
Tang s.h.i.+ya and he both recognized it was Jiang Chen.
As expected, Jiang Chen had come here to take his revenge!
Fortunately. Fortunately. He doesn’t even have one constellation palace illuminated. Ning Haotian felt relieved. He could not hide his complacency at all. Finally! He had finally surpa.s.sed Jiang Chen! His state was the Second Constellation Palace! He was the person who could really exert the strength of Star Venerable.
You are courting death to come to me in this moment, Ning Haotian thought.
At the same time, looking toward his supporters, Jiang Chen said, “Bet on me.” Then he flew into the air immediately.
“Who is he?!”
It was thought-provoking that he had said that to Jiang Chen’s supporters.
A bold a.s.sumption occurred to everyone, but all of them thought it was impossible. They would rather believe he was Jiang Chen’s younger brother.
“Is he going to seek justice for his elder brother?”
Instantly, people’s curiosity was piqued. They were more interested in this fight than the fight between Ning Haotian and Guan Fei.
“Yeah. Come on. Just bet on him.” Ning Haotian’s supporters said in a sarcastic tone. It did not matter whether he was Jiang Chen or Jiang Chen’s younger brother. His state, the First Constellation Palace, meant he did not have any constellation palace illuminated. This was fatal. Not to mention his rival was the famous Ning Haotian. He had the inheritance of the Martial Arts Divine School and the Sky Dominator.
“You shouldn’t have come now.” Ning Haotian said to him through holy awareness. His eyes were full of complacency.
“I’m here to kill you, not to defeat you, because it’s unnecessary. You haven’t even beat me once,” Jiang Chen said.
“You…”
“You told the world you made big progress thanks to my divine blood?” Jiang Chen questioned him.
Ning Haotian felt guilty. He involuntarily looked toward Tang s.h.i.+ya, who was standing on the ground.
“You should feel lucky that I didn’t think too much when I was possessed by the demon,” Jiang Chen said.
By then an aggressive cold atmosphere had spread throughout the air.
“Unfortunately, you’re not possessed by the demon now. Besides, we only intended to kill you, but you were so weak that even your woman died because of you.” Ning Haotian spoke his mind, because he thought Jiang Chen’s state was too low to pose him any threat.
“I haven’t even bothered to see you as an enemy after I eliminated Black Dragon City. I wouldn’t have taken the trouble to deal with you if you hadn’t picked a fight with me. But now I’ve realized, for people like you, you deserve to die.”
Jiang Chen was not irritated, but he became more and more resolved to kill Ning Haotian. “Stop talking to me in such an arrogant tone. I’m stronger than you now!”
Ning Haotian shouted, “No. You don’t even know how strong I am. Just look down and take a look if you are not convinced.”
Down there, a new round of betting had started. Most people bet on Ning Haotian. Jiang Chen’s odds were even higher than Guan Fei’s, because Guan Fei was in the Second Constellation Palace. However, it was interesting that despite this, more people bet on Jiang Chen than had bet on Guan Fei.
Jiang Chen’s supporters had gone insane and bet a large amount of yuan stones on him.
“I bet 1 billion!” Suddenly, a loud masculine voice rang out.
Outside of the Treasure Pavilion, people went into an uproar when seeing 1 billion had been bet on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen’s supporters were supporting this person because of their love for Jiang Chen. However, why was this man supporting him?
Looking toward him, people were shocked. He was also a young man, wearing a boa robe that looked very elegant.
“The emperor of the Blood Shadow Dynasty!”
The Blood Shadow Dynasty had almost been overturned by Jiang Chen. However, the influence of a powerful man lingers after his downfall. This was also true with a powerful dynasty. The Blood Shadow Dynasty managed to survive in the Realm of Spirits, but they were not the dominator of the Spirits anymore.
This emperor was Xia Yiming, who had been disrespected by the whole world. It was inevitable, since other potential princes and princesses had all been killed by Jiang Chen. Xia Yiming, who should hate Jiang Chen to the core, bet on Jiang Chen instead. It was quite confusing. With the offered odds, if he won, the Treasure Pavilion would be bankrupt.
“Are you sure?” Tang s.h.i.+ya was neither too arrogant nor too humble in front of the emperor, but she sounded a little bit p.i.s.sed.
“Can’t I place this bet?” Xia Yiming asked.
“Of course you can. However, with the current national strength of the Blood Shadow Dynasty, are you sure it will be okay if you lose 1 billion upper-grade yuan stones?” Tang s.h.i.+ya asked.
“This shouldn’t be Miss Tang’s concern. Maybe I’ll win the bet. I’ll feel grateful for the Treasure Pavilion’s support to the national treasury then.”
Tang s.h.i.+ya smiled coldly without giving any response.
In the air, after reaching a certain alt.i.tude, the two were going to start the fight.
“t.i.tles and inheritances. Thousands of races are rising at the same time. The Three Middle Realms have entered the era of Star Venerables. You are lagging behind this era.”
Brandis.h.i.+ng the long spear in his hand, Ning Haotian launched the first attack. His manner reminded people of the rumor about the grudges between Jiang Chen and him. The rumor seemed to be proven to be true. Ning Haotian could not stay calm even though the one he was facing was Jiang Chen’s younger brother. Obviously, the grudges between them could not be slight.
“No matter what era we are in, I’ll defeat you and kill you. That’s all you will get from me,” Jiang Chen said in a cold voice.
Facing the spear tip approaching him, he was quite calm. He did not even draw his sword out. It was a bold move, since Ning Haotian’s attack was really very powerful.
Ning Haotian shouted loudly. The vision of the dragon and the roc appeared again. The spear created a giant vortex.As the spear advanced, the vortex spread as far as 200 miles away. It was impossible to escape from it.
“First Sword: strike!”
At the last minute, Jiang Chen pointed at some place in the air. A vast sword spirit gushed out. The folks of New Heaven City could even see ripples in the air.
When the sword blade and the spear radiance collided, numerous people felt lucky that those two were high enough in the air so that they would not be affected.
Otherwise, this one-year-old New Heaven City would be destroyed once again.
