The Brilliant Fighting Master - Chapter 276

Chapter 276: Du Yue

The Hero Palace would only recruit the best geniuses among the new graduates of the Sacred Institute every year .

There were still two months to go until this year's graduation, which meant the current newbies had been at the Hero Palace for ten months .

These ten months were enough for them to transform and improve .

Murong Xing had joined the Hero Palace two years ago . He had been in the initial phase of the Reaching Heaven State for a long time and had finally moved up to a new level .

As a newbie, it would be impossible for Jiang Chen to dodge his attack .

It was true . Jiang Chen hadn't drawn his sword or his knife . He had completely given up, just standing there still .

The sword was already very close to him .

A white figure suddenly appeared and parried Murong Xing's sword under people's shocked gazes .

Murong Xing lost his spiritual sword and fell onto the ground . The slide of his body left a deep track in the ground .

Grr!

A thundering tiger growl came while people were still in shock . Everyone covered their ears in pain .

Whitty had suddenly shown up in killing mode . His scarlet eyes were giving off tremendous killing intent . The bystanders felt their souls trembling, as if they were in hell .

"Whitty," Jiang Chen called him gently, trying to stop Whitty from killing Murong Xing .

Whitty's hair, which had been standing on end, went down again . His eyes went back to blue . He ran towards the mountain wall beside them and up to the peak like he was running on a flat road . Then he jumped down gracefully, ran back to Jiang Chen, and nuzzled his lap . After all this was done, he just ran aside to play by himself .

Whitty had turned back to the tame mount that had come with Jiang Chen .

However, Murong Xing, still lying on the ground, was spitting blood . It looked like he had been badly injured .

"What a formidable animal!"

"Murong Xing couldn't even take one attack from his mount . "

"Two elders are coming . "

When the bystanders had just come back to themselves, two elders could be seen approaching from the Time Palace .

The disciples stepped back involuntarily . The guys from the Knife Dragon Association were surprised to see the situation getting serious, but at the same time, they felt very excited .

Anyway, they wouldn't be the ones to be punished .

One elder helped Murong Xing stand up . The other walked towards Jiang Chen, staring at Whitty .

"Tell your mount to stop fighting back and put its collar on . "

This elder was still young, not too fat or too slim . He was average-looking, but his sharp look was giving off the aggressive energy that belonged to Reaching Heaven States .

"I don't have a collar for him," Jiang Chen said .

"No?"

The elder pulled a long face . He was getting angry . He said, "You don't have a collar for such a ferocious mount? Someone was injured because of your indulgence . "

"Elder, you've come just in time . I'm guessing you saw what happened . Let's forget about the collar for a minute . Do you think I'm the one to blame?" asked Jiang Chen .

"You think you're not?!" the elder answered Jiang Chen's question with a question . His voice was cold and fierce .

"Should I have stood there without fighting back?"

The elder flicked his sleeve and said, "You provoked him first . Murong Xing is a proud person . Of course, he wouldn't allow you to talk nonsense to him . It was quite reasonable for him to attack you . "

"Reasonable? Great . Reasonable!" Jiang Chen was so angry that he burst out in laughter . This elder reminded him of the elders of the Natural Law School that had been against him . They were the same . None of them could tell right from wrong .

The Hero Palace wasn't an exception .

"Jiang Chen, shut up . You won't die if you don't talk back," Ying Wushuang said coldly .

"Yeah?"

Jiang Chen was surprised . Had she just warned him with good intentions?

"Du Yue, Murong Xing has been badly injured . I'm afraid he'll be bedridden for months," the elder that was treating Murong Xing's injury said .

"Take him back and give him a proper treatment . "

The elder called Du Yue didn't even look back, never taking his cold eyes off Jiang Chen for a second .

"If you're a disciple of the Sacred Institute, you'll be whipped . If you're from the Hero Palace, you'll practice with handcuffs on for one year . "

"If you're neither, you'll die!"

When Du Yue said "die," the whole world outside the Time Palace quieted down .

"I'm from the Hero Palace," said Jiang Chen . He sounded strangely calm .

"Great . "

Du Yue took out a pair of heavy handcuffs from who knows where and threw them in front of Jiang Chen .

"Put it on . "

Du Yue looked indifferent . He sounded like he wouldn't accept any disputes from Jiang Chen .

Jiang Chen squatted down as if he was really going to put the shackles on . Some of the bystanders gloated over this scene . Others shook their heads with pity .

"The cuffs weigh thousands of pounds . What a punishment," Jiang Chen exclaimed .

"The heaviness isn't the key point . "

The people around smiled disdainfully to show that they knew the secret well .

Being chained in the Hero Palace for a year would make him a complete joke . No one would be friends with him . He wouldn't achieve anything, not to mention his tasks outside the Hero Palace .

"Elder Du Yue, if I put them on, I'm afraid you'll be blamed . "

Jiang Chen stood up and ignored the handcuffs .

"What did you say?" Du Yue thought maybe he had misheard him . This new face had had the nerve to speak to him so arrogantly?

Those from the Knife Dragon Association burst out in laughter when they heard him .

"A short-term disciple joined the Hero Palace ahead of time, and he thinks he's someone important?"

They had investigated Jiang Chen after their quarrel .

The other people weren't as surprised once they had learned Jiang Chen's background . In their eyes, Jiang Chen was nothing but a clown .

Du Yue was also very clear that it was impossible for a short-term disciple to have any support in the Dragon Field .

"So you don't think I can do anything to you? Or I'll be afraid of this beast?" Du Yue said .

"Anyway, I've warned you . If you insist, I'll accept your justifiable punishment! But hopefully you won't regret it . " Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and put the chains on . They clanged when he walked .

"They're not only heavy, but also painful . Even if I enter the Time Palace, it will just be a waste of time . Wushuang, let's go . We'd better go back," Jiang Chen shook his head and said .

"This is only the punishment for now . If anything happens to Murong Xing, you'll be punished further!" Du Yue didn't feel it was enough to vent his anger . If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have slapped Jiang Chen .

"Fine . Let's sit here for a while . "

Ying Wushuang knew what Jiang Chen was planning . She rolled her eyes and helped Jiang Chen sit down .

The curiosity of those watching was piqued . Would something unexpected happen as Jiang Chen had claimed?

Du Yue was very unhappy . He pointed at Whitty, who was beside them in a bad mood, and shouted, "I won't let you go anyway . I haven't heard any news about Murong Xing's condition yet . If anything happens to him, this beast will be killed immediately!"

"Pity . "

Whitty was a precious mount, both in terms of appearance and strength . It would be quite heartbreaking if he was killed for this .

If they had to find someone to blame, they would blame his master, because he was so stupid that he had asked for trouble himself .

"What happened?"

Suddenly, several lights landed from the air . Several figures showed up outside the Time Palace .

"Wow!"

Everyone was surprised when they saw who had come . They were all important elders with authority in the Hero Palace .

"Elders . "

Even Du Yue had to greet them with respect . He wasn't feeling well, but he refused to believe what seemed to be true .

"It's just a coincidence . It must be . "
