Chapter 172 172: Even a Fierce Dragon Must Cross the River!
"Aren't you in this place too?"
Du Chuan retorted, directly answering Jiang Chuan's question.
"Hey, to be honest, I didn't pay the protection fee, so this guy tied me up."
"He planned to torture me, but you happened to come, and that's how things went down."
Jiang Chuan quietly scrutinized Du Chuan.
He knew he wasn't lying, but the more that was the case, the more it indicated this man was not simple.
"I say, brother, good skills!"
Looking at the mess and the corpses in the room, Du Chuan squinted his eyes, radiating brilliance.
Jiang Chuan said coldly, "They all deserved to die."
"Deserved to die? You're not wrong, but if they deserved to die, what about me?"
"You? If you think so, then it is!" Jiang Chuan replied playfully.
"Hahaha? Really? So, does this mean you want to kill me too? If that's the case, I'll kill you first then!"
As Du Chuan finished speaking, his body flipped up, his massive frame moved like thunder, truly still like a virgin, moving like a rabbit!
The movements were sharp, wild, without any hesitation!
His fist soared, directly targeting Jiang Chuan's throat!
If this punch hit, Jiang Chuan's neck would undoubtedly shatter!
But would Jiang Chuan let him hit?
The grand King Jiang, how could he be so vulnerable?
Jiang Chuan lightly tapped the ground with his foot, and he had already leapt backward, causing Du Chuan's punch to miss.
Suddenly, Du Chuan turned his fist into a blade to chop at Jiang Chuan's ear; if this hit, it would surely be fatal too!
Jiang Chuan smiled, slightly tilting his head, and as a result, the opponent's palm blade also missed.
Then Du Chuan uttered a sharp 'hey', his legs snapped up in succession, changing like a whip, a genuine chain whip kick.
But still, he couldn't hit Jiang Chuan. Jiang Chuan's figure was like lightning, effortlessly dodging each attack.
"Dammit, why aren't you fighting back?"
Du Chuan attacked thrice, but Jiang Chuan only dodged, never retaliating, causing Jiang Chuan's surprise.
Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and said faintly, "I let you make three moves, because if I didn't, you wouldn't have any chance to attack!"
"Such an arrogant kid! Hurry up and fight back!"
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan roared and intensified his attacks with both hands and feet!
This time, Jiang Chuan truly acted, with his waist exerting force, his body agile like a cheetah, lightly leaping, and already appearing behind Du Chuan.
"You've lost!"
Jiang Chuan gently touched Du Chuan's back, and all of Du Chuan's strength was completely drained, leaving him sitting powerlessly on the ground, with a thud, his massive body striking the floor with a loud bang.
Jiang Chuan then reached out, grabbing his hand, helping him up.
Du Chuan looked at Jiang Chuan in astonishment and then asked, "You're not going to kill me?"
Jiang Chuan smiled faintly and then asked back, "You didn't intend to kill me, why should I kill you?"
Du Chuan laughed heartily, and then they exchanged smiles, the heavy killing intent dissipating in an instant.
A few minutes later, the two sat together again, chatting happily.
"Brother, you are interesting, I really like you."
"In the future, if there's anything that needs Du Chuan's help, just say the word." Du Chuan grasped Jiang Chuan's hand joyfully.
Jiang Chuan also smiled and said, "Brother Du, the same to you, I might really need your assistance."
"Oh? What's the matter? Just say it!" Du Chuan was a bit surprised, wondering what Jiang Chuan had in mind.
"Go to your stall and eat barbecue, give me a discount, how about it? Pork is quite expensive these days!"
Upon hearing this, Du Chuan was initially slightly stunned, and then burst into laughter, as if feeling a sense of meeting a kindred spirit late in life.
"Brother Jiang Chuan, I really like you, so let me give you a piece of advice."
Du Chuan suddenly put away his smile, wearing a serious expression.
Jiang Chuan raised his hand, "Brother Du, go ahead!"
"Brother, with your skills, you could serve the Grand General, I really admire you."
"But why do you insist on bending low in this shallow pond, enduring such humiliation? A true man should be extravagant, a fierce dragon must cross the river!"
"Brother, to be blunt, with your capability, you should be doing great things, how can you be content as a live-in son-in-law of some second-rate family?"
"Don't you feel it's a waste of your talents?"
