The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

55: Chapter 55 Rescue”You guys leave first, I’ll hold it back, go quickly.”

Huang Xiaochen pushed several people away, roared at them, and then turned back to face the Purple Flame Spirit Lion.

”Boss.”

Seeing that Huang Xiaochen actually told them to leave first while he faced that powerful Wild Beast alone, their hearts immediately sank.

They all knew that Huang Xiaochen was no match for the Wild Beast before them, yet he still chose to face it alone for their sake.

”Go quickly, I can’t hold on for long. Do you want us all to perish here?”

After saying that, Huang Xiaochen ignored them and rushed towards the Purple Flame Spirit Lion once more.

However, he didn’t confront it head-on this time. He slashed his blade fiercely down at the Purple Flame Spirit Lion’s front leg while slightly tilting his body to brush past its side.

”Go.”

Seeing their boss slash at the Purple Flame Spirit Lion again, they also knew that staying would only hold him back. Suppressing the urge to stay and help, they turned and fled at high speed.

”Roar.”

Seeing that Huang Xiaochen actually ignored it and even dared to use a blade against it, the Purple Flame Spirit Lion was also furious.

Just as Huang Xiaochen was passing its side, the Purple Flame Spirit Lion, like a long whip, incredibly appeared in front of him and slammed down hard.

Boom.

Huang Xiaochen couldn’t dodge in time and was slammed directly into the ground.

”Pfft.”

A sweet taste filled Huang Xiaochen’s mouth, and he couldn’t stop a mouthful of fresh blood from spraying out. He was horrified; he hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t even last one round against the opponent.

Seeing Huang Xiaochen knocked to the ground, the Purple Flame Spirit Lion pressed a front paw down towards him.

Looking at the giant paw descending from the sky, Huang Xiaochen knew that if he didn’t dodge and got hit, he would have no chance of leaving.

Suppressing the blood overflowing from his mouth and ignoring his injuries, he rolled to one side.

”Boom.”

The giant paw missed, sending dust flying, and the Purple Flame Spirit Lion looked towards Huang Xiaochen.

Seeing the Purple Flame Spirit Lion looking at him, Huang Xiaochen checked the position of his previous teammates. Seeing no one there, he didn’t plan to stay any longer. He scrambled up and fled in one direction.

Looking at Huang Xiaochen who disappeared in the blink of an eye, the Purple Flame Spirit Lion was somewhat confused, but that was soon replaced by anger.

”Roar.”

The Purple Flame Spirit Lion raised its four hooves and chased directly after Huang Xiaochen.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Xiaochen felt despair as he saw the Purple Flame Spirit Lion getting closer and closer.

If he weren’t injured, he might have been able to escape from the Purple Flame Spirit Lion’s pursuit.

By now, injured and nearly exhausted, escaping had become impossible.

He was filled with regret now; if only he hadn’t come. Although it was dangerous before, it had never been this dangerous.

In the past, although he earned less, at least he stayed in one piece. Now, he hadn’t made any money, and his life was almost gone.

At this moment, Huang Xiaochen was terrified. Facing death, and watching it approach, that feeling of lonely helplessness made him feel as if a great mountain were pressing down on him, his dull heartbeat echoing in his ears.

He could feel the Purple Flame Spirit Lion getting closer. As the seconds ticked by, Huang Xiaochen felt an invisible, giant shadow looming over him from behind.

The only thing he could do now was run, run with all his might, hoping for a miracle. He didn’t want to face death.

However, his thoughts seemed to come true as an invisible giant shadow enveloped him. Huang Xiaochen was still desperately running forward, but he couldn’t help but look up.

And then...

He saw a giant maw descending from the sky, as if it were about to swallow him whole.

”No!”

Huang Xiaochen screamed in despair. He was going to die. The Purple Flame Spirit Lion gave him no time to hesitate and bit down directly at him.

Huang Xiaochen closed his eyes, waiting for despair to descend.

Boom.

Then, after waiting for a long time, Huang Xiaochen didn’t feel the despair of being bitten; instead, he only heard a massive roar, and then there was nothing else.

Huang Xiaochen slowly opened his eyes. The path ahead was clear, as if everything before had been a dream.

This left him somewhat dazed. Wanting to know if it really was a dream, Huang Xiaochen turned around and saw a figure appearing behind him. In front of this figure, the Purple Flame Spirit Lion that had been chasing him was lying motionless on the ground, clearly dead.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaochen knew what had happened. Without hesitation, he knelt directly on the ground.

”Huang Xiaochen thanks Senior for saving my life. From now on, my life belongs to Senior. If Senior has any orders in the future, just let me know.”

Hearing Huang Xiaochen’s words, Jiang Chen turned around to look at him. Hmm, about thirty years old, not too old, Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivation is decent.

”Really?”

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Xiaochen and spoke. Hearing such a young voice, Huang Xiaochen looked up curiously and was stunned to find a youth of seventeen or eighteen. How could he be so young?

”What is it?”

Seeing Huang Xiaochen silent and just staring at him, Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed.

Previously, he was at the Jiang Clans ancestral land when he felt something. He released his Divine Thought and discovered a Foundation Establishment Realm Purple Flame Spirit Lion chasing someone.

Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and quickly appeared before the Purple Flame Spirit Lion, killing it with a single finger.

When poor, one attends to their own virtue; when successful, one helps the whole world. Now that he had the strength, saving someone was just a trivial matter. However, he felt that Huang Xiaochen’s earlier statement about his life belonging to him was quite good.

Currently, the Jiang Family has too few Clan Members. Recruiting more outsiders could quickly develop the Jiang Family’s strength, especially since this Huang Xiaochen was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was necessary for the current Jiang Family.

As for whether having too many outsiders would lead to them usurping the host, Jiang Chen hadn’t considered it. As long as he was there, he was confident he could suppress anyone who resisted.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Huang Xiaochen suddenly snapped out of it. There was no one else present except for him and this excessively young person. He understood that the Purple Flame Spirit Lion had been killed by the other party.

Although the other party was very young, his strength was unfathomable.

However, faced with Jiang Chen’s inquiry, Huang Xiaochen was a bit dazed again. ”What?”

”Didn’t you say that you would help complete whatever orders I might have?”

Looking at the bewildered Huang Xiaochen, Jiang Chen reminded him.

”Yes, yes, yes, Senior. Whatever orders you have, just say them. As long as I, Huang Xiaochen, can do it, I definitely won’t refuse.”

Huang Xiaochen guaranteed solemnly.

”Good, I was waiting for that. I am the Clan Leader of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen. My Jiang Family’s market has just been established and lacks someone to oversee it. From now on, help me oversee the Qingyun Market.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t polite and gave the order directly.

As for the other party refusing? That was impossible, unless they were a fool.

”This...”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s order, Huang Xiaochen’s face stiffened. Overseeing a market? For someone like him who dealt with Wild Beasts all year round, how could he endure the boredom of overseeing a market?

”You’re unwilling?”

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Xiaochen with sharp eyes.
