The Brilliant Fighting Master

Tian Shenyi’s stature was as tall as Jiang Chen, and they both had an attractive look. However, it was a pity that everyone couldn’t help but loathe Tian Shenyi due to his haughty expression. It was especially the case for Jiang Chen and Yiya.

Some people might like Tian Shenyi due to his great fighting prowess but not because of his personality.

“Don’t you have eyes?” Jiang Chen looked at the corpse of the Divine Recluse Clan woman and spoke rudely. Jiang Chen had just read aloud the scripture in front of this person and purified the evil spirit. Everyone with a discerning eye could see it clearly!

“Humph, you are just putting on an act. What ability does the likes of you have that allowed you to find evil spirits and purify them?” Tian Shenyi said.

“How do you explain what happened a moment ago?” Yiya questioned him.

The people in the vicinity nodded. Everyone was still exclaiming in admiration due to Jiang Chen’s great skill, and they all couldn’t understand what Tian Shenyi was implying.

“Evil spirits can detect each other, and they can obviously kill each other,” Tian Shenyi said. When such words echoed out, everyone had a great reaction, while Yiya and Wen Tao were infuriated. Such slander was really contemptible. But there were still people who were slightly swayed by such words.

“In the last period, you have traveled alone in the third area, and you have even killed a rare Sacred Lord like the Young Human Emperor,” Tian Shenyi continued speaking. Even though he didn’t state openly that Jiang Chen was possessed by an evil spirit, his implication was already obvious.

Many people nodded and found such an argument reasonable.

“Jiang Chen has risen too quickly, and this isn’t normal.”

“Moreover, many people killed by him were quite outstanding.”

“He had previously a conflict with the Royal Power Association and ended up cast away by it. He then faced the Blood Clan’s great army alone. Yet, he still came back safe and sound. It’s really suspicious.”

Many denunciations arose.

Yiya became slightly anxious because she clearly knew Jiang Chen’s character, and he surely wouldn’t bother to explain anything while facing such accusations, which would let Tian Shenyi’s plot prevail.

“Why don’t you use fresh blood to verify it?” Yiya quickly said.

One couldn’t decide that someone was possessed by an evil spirit just by mere words.

“It’s out of the question, someone like him is surely a great and superior evil spirit, and usual methods will be useless against him,” Tian Shenyi wouldn’t let Yiya do what she wanted.

“What do you want?”

“I want him to receive the divine light’s baptism without putting up any resistance,” Tian Shenyi said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen revealed a cold sneer, while Yiya spoke in mockery, “Why don’t you let Jiang Chen put his sword against your neck?”

The divine light’s baptism possessed great destructive power, and if Jiang Chen didn’t guard against it, he would likely end up suffering heavy injuries.

“I’m a descendant of Gods, and I come to the world to get rid of the calamity looming over it. You should obey my arrangements as they are fair and just,” Tian Shenyi said.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. His patience was exhausted, and he said, “Aren’t you blabbering ceaselessly just because you want to fight? Why do you need to beat around the bush?”

Tian Shenyi, whose motives were exposed, didn’t get angry, and he said, “You have a guilty conscience, don’t you?”

“So, if he doesn’t accept your preposterous requests, it’s just because he has a guilty conscience?” Yiya asked.

“Sirs, what do you think?” Tian Shenyi didn’t argue with her, and his voice reverberated throughout the whole city’s sky.

“It will be better to inspect him to ensure our safety.”

“That is right, we must be careful so that everything goes smoothly.”

“After all, Jiang Chen is too freakish.”

The resounding voices left Yiya at a loss for words. However, it was fortunate that most people just kept their silence.

“What boring cheap tricks, one of your people was possessed by a Blood Clan member. Yet, you were unaware of it, and you are even passing down orders here. Even the word shameless is great praise for the likes of you.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t afraid of fighting Tian Shenyi. But he was aware that his opponent just wanted to infuriate him. Jiang Chen wouldn’t easily take the bait, even though he didn’t know why Tian Shenyi was doing this. Jiang Chen suddenly recalled something, and he sneered coldly. He said, “That said, it seems like I have heard somewhere the Divine Recluse Clan’s origins.”

Jiang Chen managed to evoke the crowd’s curiosity with his words. The Divine Recluse Clan members always stated that they were descendants of God. But no one could clearly explain such a matter.

A grave expression appeared even on Tian Shenyi’s face.

“In the ancient era, when the Nine Realms were still Xuan Huan Great Realm, heavenly gods really existed. They were above all clans, and they ruled the land. Like how a warhorse has several grooms, every heavenly god had a large number of servants. Afterwards, the heavenly gods left, and the servants didn’t have anywhere to go. That was why they used the rewards they got from the Gods and called themselves Gods’ descendants…” When Jiang Chen stated the last words, Tian Shenyi’s expression had already become twisted.

“Shut up!” Tian Shenyi didn’t wait for Jiang Chen to finish narrating the story, and he shouted loudly, as if he had lost his reason. His voice scared the people in the vicinity, and they all moved back repeatedly.

When Tian Shenyi came back to his senses, he discovered that Jiang Chen was wearing a mocking look, while the people in the vicinity were pointing their fingers at him. Regardless of whether what Jiang Chen stated was true or fake, it still spread quickly and widely. Tian Shenyi, who was fond of slandering others, finally experienced such a feeling himself, and he felt quite unwell.

“I will tear you apart!” Tian Shenyi said coldly.

“The current you seems more like a person possessed by an evil spirit than me. It really seems like it’s the case, or else, with how strong are the Divine Recluse Clan members, how would they allow someone in their team to be possessed by an evil spirit?”

Jiang Chen took several steps forward and said, “I will read the scripture aloud and verify whether you are possessed.”

“You are talking rubbish!” Tian Shenyi shouted.

This time, the reaction of the spectators was more intense than when Tian Shenyi mentioned a similar matter previously. Many denunciations echoed one after the other like waves because they had all resented the Divine Recluse Clan for a long time.

Yiya who assumed that Jiang Chen would get the worst out of this set her mind at ease. She didn’t expect that Jiang Chen still had such a side to him, and he managed to solve such a crisis with several words.

“Die!” Tian Shenyi couldn’t help but attack, while he still carried out a Divine Transformation. He turned into a three-meter-long giant, while many golden symbols appeared on his skin.

The crowd was startled by this, and they held their breaths. They quickly quieted.

“How is it? You have something on your conscience, don’t you?” Jiang Chen still didn’t give up, and he continued attacking him verbally.

Tian Shenyi didn’t say anything and just waved his blade. A deep crack appeared on the ground between him and Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen’s body moved and he flew to a high altitude in the sky.

The blade beam which ended up missing its target destroyed a whole stone house and it harmed many people there.

“Jiang Chen, you will surely die today.” Tian Shenyi’s gaze locked into Jiang Chen and, as his body flickered, he flew at the same altitude.

Tian Shenyi wasn’t a match for Jiang Chen in his ordinary state. However, he didn’t depend upon his ordinary state to reach the eighth position on the Sacred Lord List. However, since he used the divine transformation since the beginning, many people became curious about Jiang Chen’s fighting prowess.

“Myriad Transformations in an Instant!” It seemed like Tian Shenyi would satisfy the crowd’s curiosity, and he used his strongest divine technique.

Tian Shenyi’s whole body shone in blazing light, and he seemed like a heavenly god. He then escaped into the void, while his blade’s light beam, which was as thin as a cicada wing, streaked across the whole battlefield. Myriad Transformations in an Instant Technique was a technique able to let one deliver 10,000 blade strikes in a single breath. Such blade strikes wouldn’t be at random and would be in accordance with the opponent’s reaction. This technique could be considered one of Tian Shenyi’s many trump cards.

The spear in Jiang Chen’s hands turned into a sword, while golden lightning erupted out and turned into flowing rays of light, while his sword’s beams streaked around like lightning arcs.

The confrontation of blade and sword’s light beams caused a constant cracking sound. But they still didn’t create any shocking waves. However, even people who observed the fight from far away felt their scalps becoming numb, upon discerning how great was such power.
