The Brilliant Fighting Master

The Tiger Battalion were on the verge of desperation. They did not expect He Wuhuan to take their captain so seriously.

Nine Stars Aligned was his trump card. Together with the Soldier Energy of the Divine Crane, it even could take a Martial Emperor by surprise and kill him.

“You’ve chosen to die.” Then Jiang Chen pushed forward. A black shadow was enlarging rapidly, flying away whirling. It was a bronze cauldron! It kept flying forward after changing to a normal size.

The Shadowless Arrows shot into it. The arrowheads were smashed first. Then so were the arrow tails. Especially as all these arrows ended up the same, their muffled sounds created a wonderful melody.

In the end, the bronze cauldron hit He Wuhuan, who was controlling the Soldier Energy of the Divine Crane. Although He Wuhuan had the Soldier Energy protecting him, the bronze cauldron was invincible. The cauldron had gotten one more handle. And Master Luo Cheng had spent a lot of money purchasing countless Black Yellow Gas.

The bronze cauldron had been hungry for a long time!

Dong!

It was only one hit, but He Wuhuan was heavily injured. The Soldier Energy turned to wind and dispersed. The soldiers of the Divine Crane Battalion all turned pale.

“How? How come?”

Covering his chest with his hands, He Wuhuan screamed. Almost all of his ribs were broken. If he had been an average person, he would have died. Even though he was a Star Venerable, he still kept spitting up blood. He, who had thought he had many advantages over Jiang Chen, did not expect such a result.

“How could a person like you have such a treasure?!” He gazed at the bronze cauldron, which had returned to Jiang Chen’s hand. He had seen many disciples from big forces, and none of them had such a great treasure. Usually only people above Martial Emperor would have such things.

“Noone can challenge me.” Walking forward, Jiang Chen was going to take He Wuhuan’s life.

To his surprise, another team approached them at high speed at this moment. Jiang Chen looked over and found it was led by Commander Xiong Gang. He recalled that Xiong Gang had not given him a communication stone, and then he had run into a Supreme Demon Scorpion. Later, the Crane Battalion appeared where they should not have appeared. Everything seemed to be connected.

However, other people had not realized that yet. Zhang Han and the others were even pleasantly surprised.

“What happened?!” Xiong Gang was the same rude and aggressive person he always was.

“Commander.” A soldier of the Tiger Battalion came up to him, ready to report on what had just happened.

“Shut up. I was asking him!” Xiong Gang pointed at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen hesitated. Then he told Xiong Gang what had happened calmly.

Xiong Gang stayed silent after Jiang Chen’s report. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Commander Xiong, your men are really brave.” He Wuhuan spit up blood and then smiled coldly.

Xiong Gang looked like he was pissed. He shouted loudly, “Jiang Chen! You offended a superior officer. You challenged a captain! Have you realized your mistake? Give him the spiritual stone as compensation!”

Zhang Han and other soldiers under Jiang Chen’s command were struck dumb. They were shocked that their commander was not here to help them. He was on the Crane Battalion’s side instead.

Smiling coldly, He Wuhuan took out an elixir and took it.

“Showing no respect to the military law? Let me tell you what showing no respect to the military law is like!” Jiang Chen was as lawless as before. The bronze cauldron showed its power again. It flew toward He Wuhuan. He Wuhuan was scared out of his wits. He was as pale as a ghost.

“How dare you!” Xiong Gang roared in rage. He came forward to launch an attack.

“Why don’t I dare?!” The eight groups of spiritual beings showed up to stop Xiong Gang.

“Don’t…don’t kill me! To be honest, it was your commander who sent me here!” He Wuhuan finally recalled all kinds of crazy stories about Jiang Chen. He was extremely pale.

“Really?” Jiang Chen took the bronze cauldron back in time.

“Your commander is a gambler. He owes another commander and me billions of yuan stones, but he isn’t rich enough to pay us back. So he told us he would give us this spiritual pond as pay. However, there was a Supreme Demon Scorpion guarding it, and we couldn’t approach it. That’s why…”

“That’s why you sent me here?” Smiling coldly, Jiang Chen said, “What a great plan.”

Xiong Gang was so ashamed that he flew into a rage. He shouted, “That’s nonsense!”

“Nonsense? I have your IOU!”

Xiong Gang was reduced to silence. His face got flushed. Then he got annoyed. He shouted, “So what?”

People looked toward him, feeling weird.

“There are two different matters. As your commander, is there anything wrong with me sending you here?” He asked Jiang Chen in a serious voice.

Xiong Gang did have the right to assign missions. There had to be someone taking the route leading to the Sky Devouring Mountain. Jiang Chen ran into the Supreme Demon Scorpion, but it was a problem of the Qi Li Continent that had to be solved.

As to the communication stone, since it was Jiang Chen’s first day there, if he insisted it was because he had forgotten about it, it did sound reasonable.

And the IOU was between him and the Crane Battalion.

“Jiang Chen! As your commander, I order you to give him the spiritual stone and apologize to the Crane Battalion! Otherwise you’ll be court-martialed!” Xiong Gang said, blathering with rage.

“What are you gonna do if I don’t apologize?”

“Jiang Chen, no matter how arrogant you are, you are a member of the Red Blood Field. No matter how unbridled you are, you should obey the rules here. Otherwise you should quit the Red Blood Field and leave the academy!” Xiong Gang said.

“You don’t get to tell me to quit. You call yourself a commander? Now I’m challenging you. I’ll usurp your commander position!” Jiang Chen said.

Both the Crane Battalion and the Tiger Battalion were shocked.

So was Xiong Gang. Petrified, he said, “Okay. We can have a fight to decide who will be the commander, but external force is forbidden, including your cauldron.”

It was obvious he was scared of the bronze cauldron a lot. Otherwise he would not have kept talking without doing anything so far.

“So?” Jiang Chen smiled disdainfully.

“Okay! So, let’s go back to the barracks to do it,” Xiong Gang said in anger.

Such a fight should have witnesses. If the commander position could be seized through a casual fight outside, it wouldn’t be serious enough.

Jiang Chen did not have a problem with that. He just threw He Wuhuan a look. He rarely let people go who had intended to kill him.

“If he loses and still claims you violated the military law, I’ll put in a good word for you,” He Wuhuan said through holy awareness.

It would have been okay if he had not said this, but since he had said it, Jiang Chen decided to kill him. He released the bronze cauldron to kill the man. If he had let this man go back to the barracks alive, he would not be scared of Jiang Chen anymore. Who knew what he would say?

Judging from what he had done, he would definitely take revenge against Jiang Chen.

Seeing their commander killed in front of them, the Crane Battalion were freaked out. The captain who had threatened Jiang Chen covered his mouth with his hands. He felt extremely scared at the thought of what he had done to Jiang Chen.

“He is cruel!”

Xiong Gang first felt happy, but then he was shocked. He was happy with He Wuhuan’s death. That meant he did not have to pay his debt.

What shocked him was Jiang Chen’s fierceness. He was sure the latter would not show him any mercy either.

I have to kill him in the fight. Otherwise he can kill me easily with external force!

Xiong Gang made up his mind to kill Jiang Chen when he had realized this.

“Let’s go.”

He went back with his men first.

As to Jiang Chen, he landed beside the spiritual pond. He wanted to confirm his assumption. Only in this way could he defeat his rival for sure.

Zhang Han and the other soldiers hesitated, but, in the end, they landed beside Jiang Chen. That meant they would follow his lead. After all, they had seen everything Jiang Chen had done.

Compared to Xiong Gang, who had sold them out, Jiang Chen was really a lot better. However, they were not sure whether Jiang Chen could make it in the upcoming fight.

Thinking back on the brief fight he had had with Jiang Chen, Zhang Han was imagining what the upcoming fight between Xiong Gang and Jiang Chen would be like.
