Chapter 642 - 640: A Suicidal Fool
The moment Feng Qi realized the black-clad Golden Saber Expert was actually at the Third Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect, he instantly fell into despair.
He had thought he could put up a fight. But now he realized that since the Blood Hand Gang was trying to kill him, they would have undoubtedly sent an expert far stronger than him.
Of course, even against a Golden Saber Expert of the same cultivation level, Feng Qi knew he wouldn’t be a match, let alone an expert at the Third Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect.
Endless fear spread through him.
But even so, Feng Qi’s eyes were bloodshot.
He let out a furious roar.
"Die!"
He charged out,
intent on killing his opponent.
"Heh heh!"
The black-clad man merely let out a soft chuckle.
He slashed with his saber, a strike that seemed to shake the very heavens and earth.
It whipped up a gale within the City Lord’s Mansion.
BOOM!
The terrifying saber strike slashed mercilessly toward Feng Qi.
Feng Qi’s Tiger Roar Kill manifested as a white tiger, which pounced fiercely at his opponent.
It met the incoming saber strike head-on.
The next moment.
BANG!
The white tiger was sent flying by the single slash. The terrifying Sword Intent continued onward with undiminished force, cleaving viciously into Feng Qi.
"Argh..."
Feng Qi’s body was sent flying on the spot.
As he flew through the air, he continuously spewed blood from his mouth.
"Heh heh, I just love watching you struggle before you die."
The black-clad man let out a sinister laugh, clearly enjoying the sight of his enemies struggling helplessly before him.
"Father!"
Just then, Feng Hu rushed out from the main hall, holding a transparent Crystal Bottle in his hands.
He rushed to his father’s side. Feng Qi was already severely injured.
Feng Qi coughed a few times.
He spat out a few more mouthfuls of fresh blood.
He was so severely injured that he could barely speak.
Seeing this, Feng Hu said urgently, "Father, don’t speak. I know."
Then, he glared furiously at the black-clad man.
At this moment, the black-clad man started walking toward them again.
Though his face was hidden, his disdain was obvious.
"You killed our City Lord’s Mansion’s men and injured my father. You will pay for this."
The black-clad man smiled faintly.
"Kid, are you still dreaming?"
"Don’t you know the true strength of your City Lord’s Mansion?"
"Threatening me? Hahahaha! That’s hilarious."
"If you’ve got any tricks up your sleeve, go ahead and use them."
"Think about it. I’ve killed so many of your City Lord’s Mansion’s people and injured your father. You must hate my guts. You want to kill me."
"So, go on. Bring out your City Lord’s Mansion’s most powerful killing blow. I can wait for you to make your big move."
"Hahahahaha..."
"The thrill of killing... it really is quite something."
Fury burned in Feng Hu’s eyes.
He glared at the black-clad man with pure hatred.
He clutched the Crystal Bottle in his hand tightly.
He sneered, "You said it."
The black-clad man said, "Of course I did."
"I just love the sight of you, desperate yet still struggling to survive."
At that moment, Feng Hu abruptly raised the Crystal Bottle in his hand.
Seeing this, the black-clad man paused for a moment.
Then, his expression turned to one of utter disdain.
"’What is that thing? Are you playing games?’"
He was in no hurry to kill Feng Qi, because he loved watching others struggle to survive right before his eyes. He had a taste for it.
SMASH!
The Crystal Bottle was smashed violently onto the ground, shattering in an instant.
FWOOSH!
Immediately, a jet of black flame shot out from the shattered Crystal Bottle, soaring instantly toward the sky.
The black-clad man sensed the Black Fire. He was slightly surprised but paid it no real mind.
"Calling for reinforcements, are we?"
"Very well. I’ll wait for your reinforcements."
The Blood Hand Gang was always meticulous in its work. They had long since investigated the City Lord’s Mansion from top to bottom, and he knew it was impossible for Feng Qi to summon any real experts.
This was nothing more than a futile struggle.
Inside a nearby building, Jiang Chen’s eyes snapped open.
He seemed to have sensed something.
He instantly awoke from his Cultivation. In a flash, he left his training spot.
’Why are Feng Qi and the others calling for help so soon?’
Jiang Chen was surprised. He had only just given the Black Fire to the City Lord’s Mansion, yet they were already calling for help by nightfall.
He had a connection to the Black Fire, so he knew that if the City Lord’s Mansion was calling for help, they must be in serious trouble.
Since he had promised to help the City Lord’s Mansion, and Jiang Chen was a man who kept his word, he did not hesitate and rushed straight toward their estate.
WHOOSH!
Moving with incredible speed, Jiang Chen trod on empty air and appeared outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Chen suddenly frowned.
He said in surprise, "What a heavy stench of blood."
"It seems the City Lord’s Mansion really is in trouble."
Jiang Chen hurriedly increased his speed. He was already in Xingyuan City, not too far from the City Lord’s Mansion, and arrived within a few breaths.
SWOOSH!
In a flash, Jiang Chen’s figure appeared in the air above the City Lord’s Hall.
He looked down and saw the grounds of the City Lord’s Mansion littered with corpses—all of them were the mansion’s guards.
’Even the butler, Zhu Sanbao, is dead?’
Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly.
From his vantage point in the air, he could see everything clearly.
Jiang Chen’s arrival instantly caught the attention of the black-clad man, as well as Feng Qi and his son.
The black-clad man was slightly surprised to see Jiang Chen.
But then he paid him little mind.
As for Feng Qi and Feng Hu, seeing Jiang Chen appear was like seeing their savior.
Jiang Chen landed beside Feng Qi and Feng Hu, asking faintly, "What happened?"
Feng Qi let out a bitter laugh.
He briefly explained the situation.
Then he bowed repeatedly to Jiang Chen. "Young Master Jiang, you truly are a man of your word. Thank you for coming to save us."
"However, the Blood Hand Gang’s Golden Saber Experts are all at least in the Martial Arts Sect Realm."
"Young Master Jiang, if you cannot save us, please just leave. This must be the fate of our City Lord’s Mansion."
He was worried Jiang Chen wouldn’t be able to save them.
Even though Jiang Chen had indeed come.
But the Blood Hand Gang’s Golden Saber Expert was simply too powerful.
Feng Hu didn’t know what to say, but he knew how formidable Jiang Chen was, so he stood aside respectfully.
Jiang Chen nodded. "Alright, leave this to me."
He turned to face the black-clad man.
A Golden Saber Expert from the Blood Hand Gang.
His expression was calm.
As he sized up his opponent, the man offered a cold sneer.
The man suddenly spoke. "So this is the expert your City Lord’s Mansion hired?"
"Haha, that’s hilarious! I was expecting someone powerful, but it’s just some fodder from the Martial Arts Sect Second Heaven, here to get himself killed."
"Looks like I’ll be claiming another life today. Tsk tsk!"
He was utterly disdainful of Jiang Chen.
He could see that Jiang Chen’s cultivation was only at the Second Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect.
He, on the other hand, was an expert at the Third Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect—a full Realm higher than Jiang Chen.
The difference of a single Realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Hearing that Jiang Chen had a Second Heaven Martial Arts Cultivation, both Feng Qi and Feng Hu were startled.
Only then did they realize how powerful Jiang Chen truly was.
However, their spirits immediately plummeted again. Although Jiang Chen was at the Second Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect, the black-clad man was at the Third Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect.
That being the case, Jiang Chen certainly couldn’t save them.
He would just be throwing his own life away for nothing.
Finally, Feng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Jiang, you should go! This has nothing to do with you."
However, the black-clad man sneered, "Thinking of leaving? I’m afraid it’s a little late for that."
