Jiang Chen looked over and found it was a man and a woman. They walked towards him and stopped when they were only a few steps away.
âIs that a golden seed? Whatâs in there?â the woman said.
Jiang Chen felt weird. Both of them were in the Gathering Yuan State, but they were being so arrogant before him, a Mental Wander State.
He sized them up carefully, but didnât see anything special about them. The woman was ordinary-looking and a little short. The man was tall, but slim. He didnât have any fat on his face. They made a strange couple when they stood together.
The woman who had spoken was wearing protective clothes, but even so, the tenderness and rudeness in her could be easily seen.
âWhy should I show you?â Jiang Chen said.
âYouâre so stingy!â the woman said.
âYeah. What does it matter if we take a look?â the man chimed in.
Jiang Chen was angered, yet amused. They matched each other well.
He put the golden seed aside and said in a tough voice, âItâs mine. I can show it to anyone I want to. Weâre in the Realm of Beasts. You should be more careful. Being so arrogant will bring you trouble.â
As he spoke, he emitted a majestic atmosphere owned uniquely by those in the Mental Wander State.
The two had to step back in the face of his power, but they didnât cower, instead becoming angry.
âHow great you are, a Mental Wander State! How dare you behave in such an arrogant manner!â
âYeah, youâre only in the beginning of the preliminary stage. Where did you get the nerve to threaten us?!â
They both clamored, with similar expressions and in similar tones.
âYeah, Iâm only in the beginning of the preliminary stage, but you two are only in the Gathering Yuan State. My state is enough for me to kill you.â
Jiang Chen drew the Redcloud Sword out of its sheath, which gave off an overwhelming energy.
The woman took out a whistle and blew it with effort. The whistling was so loud that people in a radius of thirty feet could hear it.
âYouâre dead meat! Do you think youâre the only Mental Wander State in the world? Youâll be doomed when my apprentice brother arrives!â the man shouted aggressively.
Soon, they heard some footsteps approaching. There was more than one person.
Both the man and the woman showed proud smiles. They looked at Jiang Chen as if telling him he was about to be in big trouble.
Just then, a team came into Jiang Chenâs line of sight.
âWu Ying, Liu Ye, whatâs wrong?â A man in the beginning of the preliminary stage of the Mental Wander State walked at the front. He inquired about the situation.
âApprentice Brother Ouyang, this guy insulted us. He thinks heâs great since heâs in the Mental Wander State. We only wanted to know what was inside the golden seed,â the woman called Wu Ying said angrily.
âThe golden seed?â
This Apprentice Brother Ouyang in the Mental Wander State seemed excited. He thought to himself quickly, âApprentice Brother Xiang is around, so heâll be here soon. He wonât let go of the chance to get a golden seed. I have to get it as soon as possible.â
âYou, show me the golden seed,â he shouted at Jiang Chen.
âHow interesting. Do you think everyone in the world is your daddy or mommy and should take care of you?â
Jiang Chen was speechless at these people. He also sensed the greed of this Apprentice Brother Ouyang, so he didnât take his sword back.
âHum, weâre both in the beginning of the preliminary stage of the Mental Wander State. Itâs impossible for you to have found the golden seed by yourself. Who knows how you got it. We lost a golden seed not long ago. Maybe you stole it!â Apprentice Brother Ouyang said.
âSo what? What are you going to do to me?â Jiang Chen provoked.
âLooks like you donât want to give it to me!â
Apprentice Brother Ouyang drew out his spiritual sword immediately. The sword chanted right away. It turned out he wasnât only in the beginning of the preliminary stage of the Mental Wander State, but had also mastered the sword point.
âIâll show you the power of a disciple of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness!â Apprentice Brother Ouyang thrust his sword out. In othersâ eyes, he was as quick as lightning.
âYouâre asking for your death. Donât blame others for it!â
Jiang Chen found the killing intent included in this attack was determined to harm him, so he wouldnât show any mercy either.
He raised his sword and its chant was like a dragonâs snarl.
A single attack!
Apprentice Brother Ouyang was killed in a single attack. He was so reluctant to die. After all, they did have the same state. But whyâŚ
âYou, how dare you kill Apprentice Brother Ouyang? Youâre doomed, doomed! Weâre disciples of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness.â Wu Ying and the others were both surprised and angry, but they werenât frightened since they had backup.
At this moment, they heard more footsteps coming.
âItâs Apprentice Brother Xiang! Heâll kill you for sure!â Liu Ye shouted at Jiang Chen.
âYeah?â Jiang Chen seemed to be pondering something. The Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness? Apprentice Brother Xiang? Something occurred to him.
âYouâre still laughing! Weâll make you cry later! Youâre in the beginning of the preliminary stage, while Apprentice Brother Xiang is in the completed preliminary stage!â Wu Ying said coldly.
Apprentice Brother Xiang appeared at this moment. His right arm had been cut off. He was holding a sword in his left hand.
âWhatâs wrong?â
He paled when he saw the corpse on the ground.
âApprentice Brother Xiang, he killed Apprentice Brother Ouyang!â
Xiang Liang came in aggressive, but he was struck dumb when he saw Jiang Chen.
His right arm had been cut off by Jiang Chen!
Of course he hated him, but there was more fear than hatred!
He suddenly turned around and slapped Wu Ying and Liu Yeâs faces.
The two fools were dumbfounded. They didnât understand what was going on.
Even though he had lost one arm, he was in the completed preliminary stage. He was in an advantageous position!
âApprentice Brother Xiang, whatâs wrong? Heâs only in the beginning of the preliminary stage!â Liu Ye said, puzzled.
âHeâs in the beginning of the preliminary stage? He killed Li Qin, who mastered half of the minor doctrine of wind and was in the completed preliminary stage. He even exchanged blows with Mo Li and survived!â Xiang Liang said furiously.
âWhat?â
Wu Ying and Liu Ye were awestruck.
Li Qin had been ranked seventieth something on the Eternal Flame List. She was famous in the Fire Field because she could fly.
Then there was Mo Li, ranked seventh on the Prince List, who was decisive when it came to killing. There were not many people who could survive after exchanging blows with him.
âWhat a coincidence. Youâre not with Mo Li?â Jiang Chen sneered.
Xiang Liang was surprised. He looked over to Jiang Chen and said, âIâm a disciple of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness. Mo Li let me go. Tan Yun and Li Xin are still with him. I ran into these disciple siblings after leaving that group.â
âI thought you were an exception of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness. I was surprised to see that all disciples of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness behave this way. How could two Gathering Yuan States be so arrogant? How could they have the nerve to ask to see my stuff?â Jiang Chen said.
Wu Ying and Liu Ye turned pale.
Even Xiang Liang was afraid that Jiang Chen would kill him, let alone those two.
âSlap yourselves across the face until I tell you to stop!â Xiang Liang shouted.
Wu Ying and Liu Ye looked at each other. The two, who used to be proud and arrogant, slapped themselves across the face under the gazes of many people.
Xiang Liang gave Wu Ying and Liu Ye an angry stare, then the sound of the slaps became noticeable.
âJiang Chen, I have nothing to do with this. Besides, Iâll give you some information. Will you let me go this time?â
Jiang Chen hadnât even mentioned what he was going to do with Xiang Liang, but the latter was terrified by the corpse on the ground.
âWhat information?â
âYou were with a girl, whose name is Shui something.â
âShui Sheng. What happened to her?â Jiang Chen was surprised. His smile disappeared.
âMo Li caught her in the City of Wolf and has her behind bars. Mo Li said if you didnât get there by three days before the close of the Realm of Beasts, he would feed her to the wolves,â Xiang Liang said.
âReally?â
âI have no reason to lie to you,â Xiang Liang said.
Without a word, Jiang Chen fluttered his wings and flew away.
Wow!
Those standing on the ground were shocked by the elegant way in which he had left. Liu Ye and Wu Ying even opened their mouths wide.
âDid I tell you to stop?â Xiang Liang said angrily.
They kept slapping themselves across the face.
âIs he going to see Mo Li? Isnât that begging for death?â Xiang Liang looked in the direction where Jiang Chen had disappeared, puzzled.
