Chapter 55: The Dark Side
Jiang Chen was only in the peak of the preliminary stage . Of course Shen Huan wouldn't believe that he had killed Zhang Shichao, who was on the Eternal Flame List .
"Watch out . He's mastered the sword point," Su Qian suddenly said .
Both Shen Huan and Jiang Chen looked a bit uncomfortable .
"You know him?" Shen Huan didn't rush to attack, but turned around to ask Su Qian .
She nodded and didn't say more .
"She is my ex-fiancée, but I broke up with her . I don't think you have very good taste," Jiang Chen said .
Both Shen Huan and Su Qian's expressions darkened, especially the latter . The certificate of divorce was shameful to her .
Shen Huan, as a man, certainly couldn't stand what Jiang Chen had said .
"You'll die a bitter death," Shen Huan said coldly .
"I'm so frightened," Jiang Chen smiled .
Shen Huan flew into a rage, but then he recalled Jiang Chen had been grinning cheekily even while facing Zhang Shichao, so he thought it normal for Jiang Chen to behave like this .
In his opinion, Jiang Chen was a retarded .
Like Zhang Shichao, he wanted to see what Jiang Chen's expression when he was facing death .
At the thought of this, Shen Huan licked his lips with excitement .
"The Windcease Sword – a strike in a ksana!"
Shen Huan attacked . His sword was treasured, emitting icy cold radiances . With his skilled sword methods, the sword was giving off a shining, silver light .
When the light suddenly appeared in the dark night, people couldn't even open their eyes .
"I was stunned by the name of your sword method, but it's so underwhelming," Jiang Chen said coldly .
The sword movement intended to defeat the enemy rapidly with the unexpected use of lights .
It had a really good effect at night, but to Jiang Chen, it was silly and childish .
He threw the Redcloud Sword out . Then with a scream, the sword ray disappeared . Shen Huan fell down and lost control of his treasured sword . The sword became stuck in a tree trunk .
"How? How is that possible?!"
Shen Huan's right hand was bleeding . His clothes were tattered . Paired with a look of pain, he was in disbelief .
"I told you . I killed Zhang Shichao . Who do you think you are?!"
Jiang Chen came up and suddenly looked over to Su Qian . He grinned at her, "Thanks a lot . Looks like you just can't forget about me . Thanks to you I won easily . "
Su Qian was still shocked by the defeat of Shen Huan . She didn't understand what he meant .
"The spirit of the sword?! You've mastered the spirit of the sword? Damn . Why did you tell me it was sword point?"
Shen Huan realized something and looked at Su Qian with hatred . "No…"
Su Qian was shocked . She knew Jiang Chen wanted to make fun of her . She was about to explain, but suddenly an idea occurred to her . She walked up to Jiang Chen and said gently, "Because I care for you . "
"Ha . "
Jiang Chen burst into laughter . He circled her waist with his arm and pulled her into his arms . "You—you!"
Shen Huan raised his bleeding right hand . His lips were trembling . He tried to say something, but in the end said nothing .
"Kill him," Su Qian said .
"You do it," Jiang Chen picked Shen Huan's sword up and handed it to Su Qian .
Su Qian gnashed her teeth and thrust the sword forward without any hesitation .
However, when the tip of the sword was about to pierce into Shen Huan's chest, Su Qian's wrist was grasped and she couldn't keep thrusting the sword .
"What happened?" Su Qian looked over confusedly .
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and helped Shen Huan stand up . He pressed on some parts of the latter's back .
"Kill me! Wait, what are you doing…"
Shen Huan found he was recovering rapidly .
"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?" Su Qian sensed the situation was unfavorable for her . Her heart sank down . She wanted to run away immediately .
"Nothing . I'm jealous to see you two have made a good couple . Since you chose him, I don't want you anymore . "
Jiang Chen gave the sword back to Shen Huan and said, "You have no way to kill me, but I'll give you a chance to take your revenge . "
"Fine!"
Shen Huan stood up and walked towards Su Qian with a disappointed, yet fierce look .
"Brother Shen, listen to me . I was forced to do that . I didn't really intend to kill you," Su Qian hurried to explain .
"Do you think I believe you?" Shen Huan grinned grotesquely .
He dashed toward her rapidly, but pushed her away when he was close to her and shouted at her, "Run!"
Then he turned to Jiang Chen immediately and made an all-out attack .
"Idiot . "
Jiang Chen brandished the Redcloud Sword . In a flash of the sword's ray, Shen Huan was frozen . He covered his throat with his hands, but blood didn't stop flowing through his fingers .
"You really believed her . "
Jiang Chen watched Su Qian leave and shrugged his shoulders, feeling a bit bored .
He had intended to see those two kill each other .
It wasn't because he was cruel, but because Su Qian's behaviors really made him want to teach her a lesson .
He wanted Su Qian to understand she couldn't conquer all the men in the world .
Besides, this woman was evil . Jiang Chen only wanted to tease her at the beginning, but she took the chance to say he concealed his swordsmanship level intentionally .
Does she think I am as foolish as Shen Huan? Jiang Chen shook his head . If he wasn't being chased, he would definitely hunt down and kill Su Qian .
I should have killed them directly and not made fun of them . Did that woman evoke the dark side in me?
Jiang Chen wasn't a guy who didn't care about others' lives, but he was no saint either . If he made up his mind to kill someone, he would kill them with no hesitation .
But what he had done had, in some ways, violated his principle .
"Do I hate all women because of Xiao Nuo?" Jiang Chen thought to himself .
At the same time, Su Qian was finally relieved when she made sure Jiang Chen wasn't after her .
He didn't believe me at all . Su Qian's eyes were filled with hatred at the thought of this .
Suddenly, she heard several sounds, and the sounds were all emitted at the same time .
Whatever they were, Su Qian realized she had been surrounded .
In an instant, many people appeared around her with torches in their hands . Judging from the position of the flame, everyone was mounted on some type of animal .
"It's not Jiang Chen," one of them said .
"Damn . Where is he?!" another guy cursed immediately .
Su Qian recognized Ning Ping's voice, since he had announced he would reward anyone who killed Jiang Chen .
Su Qian hurried to ask before they left, "Wait, are you chasing Jiang Chen?"
"Oh? Do you know where he is?"
Ning Ping turned around and sized her up .
"Yes . I'll tell you, as long as you guarantee my safety," Su Qian said .
"No problem," Ning Ping agreed without any hesitation .
"He's further ahead . He just killed my companion because my companion heard what you said…" Su Qian wasn't sure whether she should continue or not .
"Your companion was useless . Don't waste any time . Take me there!"
Ning Ping lifted her onto his mount without asking her . He made Su Qian his guide .
"Oh? You're pretty," Ning Ping didn't see Su Qian's face until then . A smile pulled up the corner of his mouth .
