Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1338: Murderous Intent

”I understand!”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

”Then, Mr. Jiang, please proceed with the challenge. The first level, Yun Hai Soaring!”

As You Bitong spoke lightly, the clouds at the cave entrance immediately began to stir.

Whoosh!

The clouds at the entrance formed ripples, no longer as dense and opaque, thinning slightly.

Jiang Chen focused intently; about thirty meters below the platform, there appeared an iron chain about ten centimeters in diameter, extending across to the opposite valley. Faintly visible on the chain were human figures.

”Mr. Jiang, no matter what method you use, reaching the other side via the chain means you’ve successfully passed the challenge!” You Bitong gestured towards the chain.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, without a word, and leapt forward.

Whoosh!

Clang clang clang!

A series of chain sounds rang out as Jiang Chen landed steadily on the chain below.

Looking down, Jiang Chen slightly raised his eyebrows; the mist still enshrouded everything below, and according to the mountain’s height, there was a depth of at least nearly five hundred meters.

”If I fall down from here...”

Jiang Chen muttered softly, then raised his head to look forward.

About thirty meters ahead, a slender figure holding a longsword stood there, face obscured by the clouds, making it unclear what they looked like or even whether they were male or female.

Swoosh!

Jiang Chen tightened his grip on the staff, his figure moving swiftly towards the figure ahead.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Cold light suddenly appeared; the person ahead began to swing the longsword even before Jiang Chen reached them, covering the area in front of Jiang Chen with flashes of cold light.

Whoosh!

A sound of cutting through the air rose; Jiang Chen raised his staff and struck forward rapidly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Waves of clouds were dispersed by the air currents; the mist between Jiang Chen and the other person was completely blown away.

Dang dang dang!

Clear ringing sounds emerged as the opponent’s longsword struck Jiang Chen’s staff, sparking off flashes of fire. But no matter how the opponent slashed, the forward momentum of the staff remained unbroken and undeterred.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s advancing figure halted, and the opponent’s longsword also stopped swinging. Jiang Chen held his staff, the end of which was already pressing against the neck of the person opposite him.

”Luo Sha, you’re guarding the first level?”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and withdrew his staff.

Standing opposite Jiang Chen was none other than Luo Sha, the personal guard of the Dark Night Queen You Ye, someone Jiang Chen had encountered a few times before.

”Mr. Jiang, can’t you spare me some dignity? Defeating me in one move, be careful the clan members might say I went easy on you!” Luo Sha spoke with a light laugh, her graceful figure flitting in and out of visibility, her allure enhanced.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: ”If anyone says you went easy, let them come to me. I’ll make sure they wouldn’t dare repeat it.”

”Giggles!”

Luo Sha laughed crisply, stepping forward to Jiang Chen, reaching out towards his face: ”Mr. Jiang, since we last parted, I...”

”Stop!”

Jiang Chen blocked Luo Sha’s hand and spoke with amusement: ”Don’t tell me this is also a test from the Shadow Clan. You’ve seen the photos of my three fiancées; they are prettier than you!”

”I...”

Luo Sha felt a heaviness in her chest and her body suddenly started to shake.

”Ah, be careful!”

Jiang Chen’s face changed, and he quickly reached out to grab Luo Sha, who took the opportunity to press into Jiang Chen’s embrace.

With a slight smile, Luo Sha rubbed her forehead against Jiang Chen’s chest and said in a coquettish voice, ”Mr. Jiang, am I really not as good as your three wives?”

”I think... you’re about to die!” Jiang Chen’s gaze turned cold, and he stretched his cane back to block his neck.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out, a dagger was only three centimeters away from the back of Jiang Chen’s head, blocked in time by his cane.

Buzz!

A furious Blood Fiend Aura surfaced, and Jiang Chen exuded an intense murderous intent all over his body, his gaze icily fixed on Luo Sha in his arms.

Luo Sha shuddered fiercely inside, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and her body abruptly retreated.

Bang!

A dull sound came, and Jiang Chen fiercely kicked Luo Sha in the stomach, sending her flying backwards.

Swoosh!

Jiang Chen moved swiftly, stepping forward to grab Luo Sha’s arm and flung her behind him.

Clatter!

Luo Sha heavily slammed onto chains, tightly grasping them, her face extremely pale and panicked as she looked at Jiang Chen.

”Luo Sha, do not harbor murderous intentions towards me. I could feel the murderous intent on you just now,” Jiang Chen said indifferently, glanced at Luo Sha, and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

Shua shua shua!

As Jiang Chen’s figure was obscured by the mist, Spirit You and two others leaped onto the chains behind Luo Sha.

You Ye stepped forward to help Luo Sha up and said in a deep voice, ”Why did you harbor murderous intentions towards Mr. Jiang?”

”Miss, I...”

Luo Sha started to explain in a flustered manner.

”It was me who instructed her to do so,” You Bitong took over the conversation, ”It was to test his sensitivity to murderous intent.”

Spirit You frowned and spoke gravely, ”Elder You, if there are going to be such tests in the future, please immediately call off the probing of murderous intent. The commander-in-chief really dislikes it when others release murderous intent toward him, and if not for his acquaintance with Luo Sha, it might have been more than just a simple throw!”

”No, the probe of murderous intent must go on!”

You Bitong glanced at Spirit You and gently shook his head, ”Our Shadow Clan is born for slaughter; testing murderous intent is a compulsory lesson. Moreover, if he cannot distinguish between genuine murderous intent and superficial murderous intent, how can he lead our Shadow Clan? You should know that our Shadow Clan’s warriors are filled with murderous intent during battle!”

”Shouldn’t murderous intent be concealed? Why should it be filled throughout the body?” You Ye looked at You Bitong with confusion.

”Because at the moment when someone with no murderous intent suddenly erupts with it, those sensitive to murderous intent can subconsciously discern the direction from which the murderous intent is coming,”

Jiang Chen’s voice sounded at this moment, explaining You Ye’s question:

”And concealing murderous intent is suitable for surprise attacks, but during head-on battles, especially in group battles, being filled with murderous intent, even scattering the murderous intent, can prevent opponents from knowing who you are targeting. This requires opponents always to be vigilant against all of our members, as they aren’t sure who might suddenly attack them, draining their energy significantly!”

As Jiang Chen leisurely explained, his figure also slowly emerged from the mist.

”Good that Mr. Jiang understands!”

You Bitong looked at Jiang Chen and spoke softly.

Jiang Chen gave You Bitong a glance, shaking his head helplessly, ”Elder You, I understand your method, but I want to say, this time the test should be the only standard. If after the test, anyone else releases murderous intent towards me, I will not hold back!”

”Don’t worry, if Mr. Jiang passes the test, anyone else who releases murderous intent towards him will be considered an enemy of our entire Shadow Clan!” You Bitong nodded in response.

”That’s good!”

Jiang Chen nodded and once again turned to walk in the opposite direction.
