The Brilliant Fighting Master

After Qian Xian, who was in the Sword Cottage, learned about what had happened in the All Saints Sect, she couldn’t help but blame herself. She wondered whether Jiang Chen had decided to sacrifice himself because of her harsh remarks and had wanted to show enough mettle as her senior sister’s lover.

“Idiot!” Qian Xian cursed him, while guilt welled up in her heart.

The next day, she couldn’t bear going to Heaven Divine City. The city was bustling with noise and excitement, and the streets were crowded with people. The people, who had come after getting wind of the affair, had almost filled the city completely. Even though Jiang Chen had already died and the affair had come to an end, people still wanted to observe that place personally. This was the reason why the Guest Plaza was filled with people.

Qian Xian shoved people aside as she proceeded forward, and she suddenly heard people exclaiming in alarm. She raised her head and looked at the distant Heavenly Mountain. She noticed that smoke was rising from it. The fire still wasn’t extinguished completely. The evil flames possessed a tenacious life force, and, if they didn’t supervise them for even a little while, they would give rise to a large fire. The All Saints Sect bustled about for a whole day and night before it managed to contain the flames.

If one observed the Heavenly Mountain from afar, one would notice that it was quite different than before. This lush mountain had become completely bald, and its rocks had changed beyond recognition. Moreover, if one went into the plaza, one would discover that the patrolling senior disciples had been replaced by esoteric disciples, and the team leader was even a Head Disciple.

It was obvious that the All Saints Sect was taking precautions so that people wouldn’t take advantage of the flames to rob them.

“Jiang Chen was a dragon among men and had outstanding talent. Even though he was killed by the All Saints Sect, he brought it all upon himself.”

Qian Xian could still hear the All Saints Sect’s disciples shouting loudly. They were afraid that people would assume that the All Saints Sect had suffered grave losses, and they were striving hard to boast. They stated that their divine sect had gotten expensive war spoils.

“I hear that Jiang Chen’s treasures were all burned by the evil flames, and the All Saints Sect didn’t get anything.”

“It seems like the All Saints Sect will need to choose a new location.”

“It’s implausible! The Heavenly Mountain is a spiritual land.”

All kinds of discussions arose among people, and it was only then that Qian Xian understood that Jiang Chen didn’t throw away his life in vain on the previous day. He had still damaged the All Saints Sect. Even though she found it refreshing, she still felt a twinge of guilt.

“No matter how many people like him come over, we can kill them all,” an All Saints Sect’s disciple spoke once again, and the crowd wasn’t really surprised by his claims.

When Qian Xian was just about to leave, the place went into an uproar, and a great noise arose that almost turned people into deaf men. Qian Xian didn’t understand the reason behind this. But, when she looked around, she had the same reaction as others.

They all witnessed a person entering the plaza even though it was forbidden for outsiders to step into it.

The All Saints Sect’s disciples were about to drive him out, yet they all suddenly came to a stop and didn’t dare budge by even an inch—it was as if they were frozen.

“How is this possible?” Qian Xian couldn’t believe it. That person was Jiang Chen. It was Jiang Chen, who should have died on the previous day. It seemed the rumors that had spread on the previous day were all fake, because the current Jiang Chen wasn’t any different than the one she saw last time.

“I came to discuss the conditions,” Jiang Chen stated calmly the same words as on the previous day. He started talking before the crowd came to their senses. Just after this, Jiang Chen strode forward and walked toward the mountain. All the esoteric disciples in the way moved back, and they were so frightened that their foreheads were filled with sweat. Even the Head Disciple didn’t dare to make a rash move because he was afraid of Jiang Chen’s cauldron.

When Jiang Chen was about to step onto the Heavenly Mountain, someone finally came out to obstruct him.

“It’s the divine sect’s sacred child, Shen Tiancong.”

“I heard that the reason behind this feud was his imprisonment of Jiang Chen’s woman.”

“If it was anyone else in Jiang Chen’s place, he wouldn’t have borne such a matter.”

“What happened? Why didn’t Jiang Chen die?”

While the crowd was discussing this affair, Shen Tiancong walked toward Jiang Chen angrily. However, he was obstructed by the disciples next to him, and they tried to dissuade from taking any rash actions.

“You don’t deserve her! You don’t deserve her!” Shen Tiancong shouted excitedly.

“Tianyin is already my woman.” In the end, Jiang Chen’s brief words delivered a grave blow to Shen Tiancong.

“I want to fight against you,” Shen Tiancong immediately said.

While the crowd just assumed that a spectacular fight between geniuses would take place, another incident occurred. It seemed as if all the disciples received a certain command, and they all went back to the Heavenly Mountain. It seemed like they gave up on confronting Jiang Chen and just wanted to lock their doors and prevent him from stepping inside.

When Jiang Chen was about to take a step forward, a dull sound echoed from the Heavenly Mountain, and the weather suddenly changed, and the ambiance became austere. Unlike the day before, the All Saints Sect had made ample preparation this time, and they activated their mountain’s Protective Great Formation. As long as Jiang Chen dared to take a step into the mountain, he would be surrounded by perils.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to anything and he still entered the mountain. His actions gave rise to a great uproar!

The mountain’s formation quickly displayed its might, and even people outside the plaza could feel the terrifying fluctuations emanating from there. Every time the formation used its power, sonorous rumblings would echo out. Such rumblings would transmit every time from a different position, and they started from the foot of the mountain until they reached the center of the mountain.

This time, the All Saints Sect displayed its power as a Divine Sect and managed to stop Jiang Chen in the center of the mountain. From the consecutive attacks’ sounds coming from there, it seemed like Jiang Chen was stranded.

All of a sudden, the All Saints Sect’s disciples’ cheers echoed, and the attacks’ sound came to a stop. The crowd realized then that Jiang Chen had been killed by them. However, the Heavenly Mountain quickly descended into panic, and countless disciples started fleeing in the sky without paying attention to the rules forbidding flight.

“Could it be that…” Everyone thought of the same matter, and before they ascertained it, it really occurred.

Unlike yesterday where the flames were restrained by the Saint King Bell, this time, everyone could witness clearly the Sky-burning Evil Flame going out of control. Many people who had come to watch such a show became excited, and they all felt like they didn’t make a trip here in vain.

It could be seen that the All Saints Sect didn’t just look on helplessly when the Sky-burning Evil Flame started engulfing the mountain. A giant hand as big as a hill stretched out of the mountain peak and went after the evil flames. As the palm slapped the flames, it flattened the whole area surrounding the flames.

“Star Picking Hand!”

Many people who resided in Heaven Divine City realized that this was a Sacred Lord’s attack.

“As expected of a Sacred Lord, he can extinguish evil flames with a single palm strike.”

While the crowd exclaimed, the giant hand started shaking, and everyone in the city could feel then that the ground started quaking. The evil flames beneath the palm still erupted out and they still destroyed the All Saints Sect’s land. The Heaven Divine City’s people ended up witnessing something that had never occurred before.

After this affair came to an end, the crowd realized that it was only thanks to the Sacred Lord’s palm strike that the situation was remedied, and, if he hadn’t intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Even though the Sky-burning Evil Flame didn’t manage to make a destructive attack, smoke was still rising from all corners of the Heavenly Mountain. While once again all the All Saints Sect’s disciples didn’t dare to show themselves.

Moreover, the crowd still looked forward to the next day and cared about it more than this day’s outcome. As long as they thought about such a possibility, they all became extremely excited. The next day, in the early morning, the region outside the plaza became packed completely with people, and many of those people hadn’t left since yesterday and were still waiting. Qian Xian was among these people!

News about this affair spread quickly, and more people were arriving, and all the tall houses’ roofs were filled with people. They were all staring at the Guest Plaza. The Almighty Elders on the plaza were all nervous, and they didn’t dare to even move their eyeballs.

At a certain moment, cheers echoed through the whole city.

“I came to discuss the conditions.” Jiang Chen dropped from the sky, and landed on the plaza. His gaze was as sharp and fierce as it had been on the first day.
