The Brilliant Fighting Master

Xuan Qing gazed at Jiang Chen. Although he looked younger, the genuine confidence he showed was just like before.

Ye Qiu didn’t know what to say. If Jiang Chen had decided on something, Ye Xue wouldn’t even be able to stop him. Not to mention him.

“Watch out, please,” Ye Qiu said. Then he drew Xuan Qing, still reluctant to leave Jiang Chen behind, into the Star Water Boat with the others.

Xuan Qing absolutely would not have left if she hadn’t thought she was going to be a burden for Jiang Chen.

“Jiang Chen, I’ll be expecting to see you soon after you return,” Xuan Qing said resolutely before the Star Water Boat flew away.

The Star Water Boat turned into a flowing light almost immediately and flew away at high speed.

The air around Jiang Chen rippled like the water’s surface. Then he disappeared, as if he had been drowned in water.

At this moment, Xiao Hongxue was getting extremely anxious.

He’d had a hunch there was something very wrong as soon as he’d left Xuan Qing. And he’d gone back to the yard right away.

The ward that had been deployed by him was still there, which made him feel relieved. However, he found that Xuan Qing was gone.

Xiao Hongxue had to resort to every way he could think of to search for her. However, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As a Venerable Sovereign, he did have some help in finding her.

He found the place where Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing had first shown up. Then he flew from there toward where Ye Qiu had been hiding.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Xiao Hongxue was gnashing his teeth in anger. There was hatred in his eyes.

He had decided to kill Xuan Qing himself with his bare hands.

He was sure she wouldn’t have been able to run out of this territory.

However, before he could find Xuan Qing, a figure showed up right in front of him.

Xiao Hongxue looked at the figure, confused. Then he stopped immediately.

“Isn’t this Xiao Hongxue, the person recognized by the Natural Law?” Jiang Chen taunted him. He sounded like he had been waiting for Xiao Hongxue’s arrival for a long time.

“Jiang Chen?”

Xiao Hongxue was baffled by the way he looked at first, but it didn’t take him long to recognize Jiang Chen.

“You’re great. Many of my acquaintances couldn’t recognize me at first glance,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Xiao Hongxue curled his lips up into a sneer. He recognized him because Jiang Chen had almost become his own personal demon. He really wished he could kill Jiang Chen with his own hands. Of course he could recognize a person that meant so much to him.

“So it was you who took Xuan Qing away?”

“I have to say you are really bold. You even had the nerve to kidnap the descendant of the Goddess of Empryean.” Jiang Chen was observing Xiao Hongxue’s state while speaking.

“Give her back to me. I’ll let you go. I might even help you fight my master,” Xiao Hongxue said coldly.

Jiang Chen was struck dumb by this comment. He said curiously, “You think you can absolutely defeat me?”

“Aren’t you here to sacrifice your own life so that Xuan Qing can have more time to flee?” Xiao Hongxue asked, and continued disdainfully, “What a mundane trick.”

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen said helplessly, “It really puzzles me how you’ve managed to get what you have with your mindset.”

“I’ll tell you before you die.”

Then a sword appeared.

Jiang Chen looked surprised. The sword in Xiao Hongxue’s hand was of a normal size. It looked like something mass-produced in a smithy. The only thing was the blade had flames on it, as if it was burning.

It was not formed by the radiance of the sword. It came from the material of the blade.

The sword handle was also pretty strange. It was made of green jade. This sword looked more like for decoration than for real fights.

But Jiang Chen knew it was a super Immortal Sword. Its main property was fire. In this sense, it was similar to his Red Cloud Sword, but of a higher class.

The Red Cloud Sword was only an ordinary Immortal Sword. Between the ordinary class and the super class there was the specialty class.

“You want to know why I can be so amazing? I’ll show you.”

Then Xiao Hongxue immediately displayed his Martial Soul.

Blazing flames rushed out madly, forming flaming clouds tumbling in the air.

Growls came from the clouds. It was neither dragon nor phoenix, but the power contained in it was not any weaker than these mythical beasts’ power.

With a muffled sound, a giant thing walked out of the flaming clouds. At first glance, it looked like a lion’s head emitting fire that came into sight. However, it had antlers on its head. And its fierce eyes were a pair of tiger eyes.

When half of its body had walked out, Jiang Chen finally recognized what it was.

It was a Kylin!

It was a Fire Kylin!

He recognized it from the shining crystal-like dragon scales on its body.

Jiang Chen seemed to suddenly realize something. A train of thoughts came into his mind like a tide.

Last time when they had met, he’d seen Xiao Hongxue wearing a Vulcan Ring.

It was strange that the Vulcan Rings they had been wearing had not sensed each other.

Seeing his peculiar Martial Soul, Jiang Chen understood why. The Fire Kylin was the Flame Emperor’s mount. The Flame Emperor was an inheritance. There would be a Flame Emperor in every generation.

“Now you know why? I’m the son of Kylin. Mindset or schemes are nothing for me. I can always land on my feet, and all of my enemies will die in front of me. That is my talent.” Xiao Hongxue shouted complacently.

Jiang Chen recovered his calmness after his initial shock. He said in a sarcastic voice, “When I get the Flame Emperor’s inheritance, you’ll be my mount. It’s a pity that you are not a woman.”

“Ha, ha, ha, I got the Flame Emperor’s inheritance a long time ago! You are still daydreaming, aren’t you?” Xiao Hongxue taunted him.

“Oh?” Jiang Chen could hardly believe it. He remembered now that the Flame Emperor had told him that only the last survivor among all of the inheritors would get the inheritance when all the other inheritors had died.

“If it had not been not for you, I wouldn’t have been obsessed with that woman and kidnapped her. Now you will pay for it.”

Xiao Hongxue had always thought that he was the blessed one, the star of the era. The only time his confidence had ever been shaken was when Jiang Chen was rescued by the Will of the Natural Law.

He happened to save Xuan Qing after that. A slight error in thought made him decide to seek comfort from the Heavenly Bestowal Woman.

“A Scorching Sun Hanging High!”

Xiao Hongxue launched an attack. The Martial Soul of the Fire Kylin went into the super Immortal Sword in his hand.

He brandished the sword casually without accumulating force. It was just an average sword movement.

However, there was one second where Jiang Chen felt as if he was under the blazing sun and his skin got sunburned.

He hurried to switch on the Athanasia Armor of Divinity to offset this fire energy.

“Unique Theurgy, Interceptive Divine Finger!”

The second he parried the enemy’s sword movement, he launched a theurgy strong enough to weaken the enemy.

“I was wondering how much you could weaken me.”

Xiao Hongxue neither hid nor parried. He just let the theurgy hit him.

At the same time, Jiang Chen was approached by his sword radiance.

Like a paper man flying toward the sun, Jiang Chen felt like he would burn soon.

Xiao Hongxue was the first person to ever give Jiang Chen such a sense of crisis in terms of fire.

“Fire All Open!”

“Practicing bodies, show up!”

Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth and forced himself to resist this attack. After that, he hurried to call out his practicing bodies.

“You’ve achieved Venerable Sovereign?”

Xiao Hongxue was very surprised to see Jiang Chen survive from his sword attack. As to the practicing bodies, he was not taking them too seriously.

“Unique Theurgy!”

“Interceptive Divine Finger!”

To his surprise, the two practicing bodies exerted the same theurgies. Finger radiances flew toward him like two beams of light.

Xiao Hongxue had not checked how much he had been weakened yet. He kind of started to feel nervous.

When the practicing bodies had started weakening him, his heart sank.

Xiao Hongxue could only exert 70 percent of his strength for the moment.

Jiang Chen seized the chance. The three Jiang Chens attacked Xiao Hongxue at the same time.
