Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: I Accept These Daughters-in-law_1

”Young Master, please let us kill this bastard!”

While fighting, Xuan Long begged Jiang Chen to speak.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and glanced at the twelve corpses lying beside him before he solemnly said, ”Do not let the brothers die in vain!”

”Yes!”

Together, Xuan Long and his companion let out a loud shout, intensifying their offensive.

Watching Xuan Long and his companion in battle, Jiang Chen reflected deeply.

It’s not enough! His own power was still not enough!

It was time to build his own force, if his hands held a considerable power, would the Four Great Aristocratic Families dare to treat him like this?

If his own force was sufficient, the moment they provoked him, he could have obliterated them instantly. Would all these matters have occurred then?

He clearly possessed cultivation techniques that could enhance one’s strength and formulas that could help others break through, so why not make use of them?

Jiang Chen began to deeply regret, for his past weakness, for his lack of great ambition.

Initially, he had only wanted to live peacefully with Jing Yi, but now, wanting an ordinary life had become a luxury. If that was the case, then he should stand at the pinnacle and make sure that no one would dare to provoke him!

In this moment, Jiang Chen underwent a transformation that even he himself did not notice, and it was this transformation that elevated his state of mind.

Hum hum!

As Jiang Chen transformed, whirlpools surfaced in the center of Dingyun Lake, strands of scarlet light flickered twice, and then returned to tranquility.

Roar!

A roar erupted from the backyard of the Dingyun Lake Villa, as Yan Hu, emanating an intense aura, fiercely punched the viper on the head.

Crack!

A crisp sound, the viper’s skull shattered, and blood immediately flowed from its seven apertures as the body fell backward, stiff as a board!

”Semi Innate, he, he has also broken through to Semi Innate?!”

Qiu Boyuan and others stared at Yan Hu in disbelief.

Breaking through during a battle might sound easy, but a breakthrough actually signifies an elevation of one’s realm. Ordinary people break through in absolutely quiet environments, with no one attempting to do so during combat.

That’s because during a realm elevation, one’s inner qi is at its most unstable. Any external disturbance at this time could cause the qi to become chaotic. A light issue could mean failure to break through, a severe one could lead to losing all martial powers, and even endanger life; the higher the level of the breakthrough, the more dangerous the disturbance.

Let alone a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster breaking through to Semi Innate, even a Profound Martial Artist breaking through to the next level would look for elders or friends to act as protectors. They had never seen Grandmasters like Xuan Long and Yan Hu break through in battle; at most, they had seen Royal Realm Martial Artists reach Profound Martial Artist during combat.

Watching the viper’s slowly falling corpse, Xuan Long and his companion silently turned and came to Jiang Chen’s side.

”Take care of the brothers’ bodies properly, send those with families back to their hometowns, and give each family five million as compensation,” Jiang Chen softly instructed.

Xuan Long and his companion trembled, and the surviving members of An Long and others all looked up at Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with gratitude.

”Enough, don’t play those sentimental tricks with me. Xuan Long, Yan Hu, handle this matter well. I will be staying in the villa for the next few days, and nothing will happen. Just make sure this is dealt with!”

Seeing that Xuan Long and his companion wanted to speak, Jiang Chen cut in first.

Xuan Long and his companion swallowed the words they were about to say and nodded heavily.

The two turned around and, along with the other guards, began to collect the bodies of their fallen brothers. Jiang Chen glanced at them, nodded to Qiu Boyuan, and then turned to walk toward the villa.

Back at the villa, Jiang Chen checked on Gong Lin then examined Qiu Boyuan and the others for injuries. He wrote another prescription, handing the list of herbs to Qiu Boyuan.

Afterward, Jiang Chen called Qiu Boyuan into the study to discuss matters concerning the Four Great Aristocratic Families. The two talked in the study until late into the night before parting ways.

The news that one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families’ heads had been killed and three were missing spread throughout Dingjing in just one night.

All of Dingjing was shaken!

Everyone’s eyes were on the Four Great Aristocratic Families and Yi Chen. Although there was no concrete evidence, there was a consensus that Yi Chen was definitely behind it!

That night was destined to be sleepless for many, as people of the Four Great Aristocratic Families feared that Jiang Chen might storm into their homes at any moment. They dared not sleep. Other clans and powers also wanted to see if Jiang Chen would clash with the Four Great Aristocratic Families that night, so they too barely slept.

Meanwhile, the instigator of the entire affair, Jiang Chen, laid a mattress in the room where Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin were staying. He guarded the two most important women in his life and slept soundly.

Gong Lin’s condition had been stabilized, and with the arrival of the herbs, she could be completely cured!

The next day finally arrived, and all the powers in Dingjing felt a sense of disappointment. How had the night passed so quietly?

The gentle sunlight streamed through the curtains into the bedroom, and Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, got up, and glanced at Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin, who were lying side by side on the bed.

Huh? What’s this...

Jiang Chen was surprised to find that the hands of the two women on the bed were actually clasped together!

”Is this... an unconscious act by Gong Lin? I really... owe Gong Lin an apology!”

Jiang Chen muttered softly, feeling somewhat regretful. He always felt like he owed Ye Jingyi, so even though Gong Lin had brought everything out into the open, he still maintained a distance from Gong Lin that should not exist between lovers...

After taking one more deep look at the two women, Jiang Chen turned and left the bedroom.

At the moment the bedroom door closed, the two women’s clasped hands tightened.

However, it was not Gong Lin’s hand that moved, but rather Ye Jingyi’s!

”Chen’er, Gong Lin, she...” Coming into the living room, Shen Xiaoqin approached with a worried look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen reassured in a soft voice, ”Mom, Lin Lin is fine. Once the herbs arrive, I will definitely be able to cure her!”

”That’s good to hear!” Shen Xiaoqin sighed with relief. She had a vague idea of what Jiang Chen had done after Gong Lin was injured, fearing that asking would upset him, so she had not dared to.

”Chen’er, Lin Lin is a good girl. Whatever you think in your heart, I approve of your marriage to her!”

Shen Xiaoqin suddenly spoke with seriousness, ”You know how Lin Lin got hurt, Jing Yi is your ex-wife, and Lin Lin is your current wife. They should be like enemies, yet for your sake, Lin Lin cleanses Jing Yi’s body every day, and now she has even risked her life to save Jing Yi.

Where will you find such a daughter-in-law?

There’s also Yu Wan; her feelings for you, don’t tell me you’re blind to it! She too is a good girl!

I know you married Lin Lin due to special circumstances, but you should be clear about how she has treated you these past days.

I’m telling you, if you have the ability, just like the men of the Jiang Family, keep Lin Lin, Jing Yi, and Yu Wan all by your side.

If you’re not capable, then whoever you choose, I will take the other two as my goddaughters. I’ll have them take care of me in my old age. I don’t need an ungrateful son like you!”

”Mom!”

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile, looking at his mother, who was suddenly acting like a child. He felt helpless, but at the same time, a warm current flowed through him.
