Chapter 104: Thank You for Your Betrayal

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was a fiery horse with black fur, tall and majestic. The general on the horse was in golden armor. The spear in his hand was powerful enough to destroy the entire world.

Elder Tree was still waiting for the treasure to recognize him as its master. Not until the spear fell did he realize there was something wrong, since he didn’t understand what the general had said.

“This is bad!”

He knew the situation was critical, no matter how oblivious he was, so he stepped back in a hurry.

However, the spear, which seemed able to even pierce into space, was thrown down with a tremendous rainbow radiance.

Elder Tree had nowhere to escape to. Sensing the emergency, he called the flying sword to protect him from the spear.

Pah!

The flying sword hit the spear’s tip and smashed into pieces immediately. Elder Tree flew back and crashed to the ground four or five yards away. The impact made a big hole in the ground.

“Young master, run…”

The flying sword had saved Elder Tree, but he had lost his confidence when facing the general’s great power. He didn’t dare continue the fight.

However, as soon as he stood up, he saw Jiang Chen standing nearby.

“How dare you…” Elder Tree was about to ask how this guy dared to show up before him when he saw Jiang Chen was holding a lamp.

Whoosh!

The crystal lotus burst into bloom. A brilliant light was emitted from it.

In a second, a fiery dragon dashed towards Elder Tree.

“Ah, ah, ah!” Elder Tree screamed. This wasn’t average fire. It felt like a mix of water and hot oil with an astoundingly high temperature.

Elder Tree’s robe vanished instantly. The armor next to his skin melted into his flesh. He almost broke down because of the pain.

At the last gasp, he exerted all of his strength to squeeze himself so that the fire could be extinguished.

But to his surprise, the fire burned even stronger when his strength made contact with it.

“What the hell is this?!” Elder Tree shouted and tumbled about on the ground. He kept burning until he finally turned into a corpse.

“Arag Tamale!”

Then Jiang Chen read a spell to the general on horseback.

The spell meant the evil had been demolished and the imperial mausoleum had regained its peace.

“For ever and ever, neither destroyed nor perished!”

After the shout, the general and the horse petrified together in the middle of charging.

Jiang Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead. All this had happened in only a short while, but it had been so thrilling.

“He… he killed a guy in the Mental Wander State?”

Everyone in the Guardian Palace was dumbfounded. It was such a quick turn of events that they didn’t know how to react to it.

Then Fang Ping and others shouted delightfully.

By comparison, Chu Luo and the other female disciples of the Isle of Sky turned pale.

Chu Luo was even shaking, as if she were freezing. She knew she had made a fatal mistake. She felt desperate, ut none of them were as scared as Gao Chenyi.

As soon as Elder Tree had died, he turned back into the weak man he was.

It seemed to Jiang Chen that he had been given a good scare. Once again, he put his sword to Meng Hao’s throat and shouted, “Don’t act recklessly. Otherwise—ah!”

He screamed before he could finish the sentence. The arm holding the sword had been cut off his shoulder.

Dorchid suddenly appeared behind him with a strong killing intent. Her eyes were cold.

“Give my brother back to me!”

Regardless of Gao Chenyi’s screams, she kept piercing him with her sword in noncritical body parts, so that he wouldn’t die too quickly.

When Gao Chenyi was not far away from death, she pointed the tip of her sword at his heart.

“I’ll inform the whole world of what you’ve done here after getting out. You’ll be the shame of the Gaos and cursed for ever and ever!”

Dorchid knew what this guy feared most. What she had said was enough for Gao Chenyi to die with a grievance.

As expected, Gao Chenyi looked reluctant to die. He opened his mouth, intending to say something, but only spit out blood. His chest was heaving up and down dramatically.

Thump!

Dorchid’s sword pierced through his heart.

Gao Chenyi’s body became stiff and then floppy.

He died, just like Elder Tree.

Meng Hao and Wen Xin had been rescued. The two couldn’t believe what had happened, as if they were in a dream.

Jiang Chen had defeated Li Qin and Elder An at the Redcloud Peak, which was shocking enough, but it was thanks to the power of his tactical formation.

This time, in the underground imperial mausoleum, Jiang Chen had killed a Mental Wander State who used a flying sword. If this became known to the world, there would be a great disturbance.

Dorchid, who had gotten her revenge, went up to Jiang Chen and looked into his eyes. She said, “The Grand Qi State owes you a favor. Whatever you request in the future, our royal family will try its best to fulfill it.”

Then she walked out of the Guardian Palace, taking the same route back.

Jiang Chen knew she didn’t want Deagle’s body lying there like a wild dog. She was going to bury him.

Meng Hao and Wen Xin went up to him and told him how they had been caught by Gao Chenyi. At the same time, they appreciated his help. Without him, they would have been killed.

“What you did was really risky.” Wen Xin recalled what had happened and still felt frightened. If anything had gone wrong, it would have been a different ending.

Fang Ping was shocked by what Jiang Chen had anticipated. He also felt fearful when recalling all these things.

If Chu Luo hadn’t betrayed them, none of these things would have happened.

“I was sure she would betray me, as simple as that. She didn’t have any reason not to betray me,” Jiang Chen said.

He wasn’t a friend of hers. Under such circumstances, it would have been strange if Chu Luo hadn’t sought refuge with Gao Chenyi.

Chu Luo looked over to him when she heard what he had said.

She wasn’t angry at all when she learned Jiang Chen had schemed against her. Instead, she felt sad and dreary.

Suddenly, a few female disciples behind her went up to Jiang Chen.

Meng Hao and Wen Xin took one step forward and stopped them.

“Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen, it was apprentice sister’s idea. We were only blindly following her. Please forgive us and lead us out,” the disciple who had cried said.

“Yes. We were also surprised by what Apprentice Sister Chu Luo did.”

“Please, please take us out.”

Chu Luo gave a self-mocking smile when she heard her apprentice sisters abandoning her. They had been so obedient to her. Her eyes were dimmed by tears.

Judging from what Jiang Chen had done, he must have learned a lot from that book. The exit must be real, and he was the only one who could find it.

Jiang Chen had agreed to let her follow him. She had obtained the chance to leave, but in the end, she ruined it for herself.

“You! You are ridiculous. If it were not for me, would Jiang Chen have succeeded?” Chu Luo shouted. She had lost self-control.

“Really? Thank you for your betrayal then!” Jiang Chen sneered.

“You schemed against me. You lied to me that the shield could resist the flying sword! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it!” Chu Luo was almost snarling.

“Dorchid also heard it. So did he.”

Jiang Chen slapped Fang Ping’s shoulder and said, “I learned this guy’s name less than an hour ago. He didn’t betray me.”

“Because you saved me,” Fang Ping answered without thinking.

“I saved her twice,” Jiang Chen said.

When Chu Luo heard their conversation, the hideous expression on her face instantly disappeared. The light in her eyes died out. She knelt down with hands on her head, and began to shriek.
