Chapter 2888
Impressive, Young Man!
No one expected Jiang Chen’s blade to be this powerful, to defeat Chu Yunji in a single sword strike. Their previous clash felt like childsplay as that slash just now was far too terrifying. Chu Wang and the other ten great sect elders had zero confidence in taking on that slash, except for Ling Yanyu.
Chu Yunji was dumbfounded and in a daze. Jiang Chen’s sword-strike defeated him and shattered his confidence. One of the top-three peerless prodigies of the Tian Xing Boundary and also one who had received the qualification to enter the Profound Connection Divine Palace. However, he couldn’t even defeat an Early Divine King. Chu Yunji was filled with unstoppable anger and couldn’t believe what just happened.
Still, the fact was there, Jiang Chen won with a single sword-strike, Chu Yunji just couldn’t take it in, yet.
Ling Yun silently watched Jiang Chen, her anxious heart finally calmed down. Because she couldn’t believe that Jiang Chen had the strength to go against Chu Yunji! Such dominance, such power!
Jiang Chen silently looked back towards Ling Yun with the Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hands, his lips curved up into a smile.
“I hope I didn’t disappoint you.” Jiang Chen said.
Ling Yun’s heart was struck with an unknown emotion. Jiang Chen’s shadow felt like a giant mountain, one that doesn’t disappoint, there was no need for her to be worried.
Yue Er smilingly looked at Jiang Chen and turned back towards Ling Yun with a grimace. That’s what you get for not believing me.
Ling Yun smiled. This little fella… seems like she understands Jiang Chen more.
“How can this be, impossible, impossible…”
Sadness was written all over Chu Yunji’s face, his fame was destroyed. This matter would soon spread all over the Tian Xing Boundary in a short amount of time. The Blood Tool Sect was still in the developing phase, Chu Yunji’s loss undoubtedly gave the ten great sects a chance to secretly scorn at them. Still, the Blood Tool Sect’s true worth does not lie in Chu Yunji’s strength but in his forging techniques and the lord of the Blood Tool Sect. With their combined effort, their chances of rising would increase if they forged an Origin Divine Tool.
That was where the Blood Tool Sect’s confidence came from.
“This black-robed youngster is awesome. I don’t think I can replicate that blade even if I used my whole life to attain it.”
“Even Chu Yunji, the Tian Xing Boundary’s monstrous prodigy, lost!”
“One shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. That phrase fits this black-robed young man.”
“Yeah, that sword-strike, who could take it?”
Jiang Chen’s feat in defeating Chu Yunji with just a single sword-strike spread across like a wild-fire to the whole Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect. The news of that sword-strike would surely spread across the whole Tian Xing Boundary in a short amount of time.
“Young man, impressive!” Ling Yanyu said in a heartfelt manner.
Even he had to face that sword-strike seriously. That blade exhibited the might of a Late Divine King!
“F*ck off from the grounds of the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect. This is not a place where you should be.” Jiang Chen looked at Chu Yunji coldly. The latter responded with a pale expression, not able to refute as he had just lost to Jiang Chen.
“I will surely pay this debt back.” Chu Yunji gritted his teeth.
He knew that he was still lacking as he lost against Jiang Chen, there was no excuse. However, his forging techniques were top-notch.
“How should we arrange this marriage? Lord Ling, I hope you’ll give me a reasonable explanation.” Chu Wang looked at Ling Yanyu coldly and asked.
“Such trash is deemed to be the prodigy of the Tian Xing Boundary? I truly disagree.”
Jiang Chen sneered as he shook his head, he did not have a good impression towards Chu Yunji, disdain even.
“Damned brat, don’t be cocky! Although you may be stronger now, you’ll never be able to measure against our Blood Tool Sect’s prodigy. My grandson is a master blacksmith that could forge Origin Divine Tools, can you?! You think you have what it takes to be cocky with some power?” Chu Wang said, obviously not happy about Chu Yunji’s loss.
“For this marriage, my Blood Tool Sect betrothal gift shall be these three Divine Origin Tools.” Chu Wang glanced towards Jiang Chen with a proud look.
At this moment, the surrounding elders changed their expression, such a great gift! Three Origin Divine Tools! It’s going to cost an arm and a leg for any of the great sects as these will certainly push a sect’s power to a new height. A Divine King without an Origin Divine Tool had a big disadvantage compared to someone who had.
Ling Yanyu frowned. Three Origin Divine Tools! His heart wavered. However, he cared more about Ling Yun. Peace would remain if he agreed to it, however, the Blood Tool Sect would entice the other sects and attack them if he disagreed.
Now, the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect was the only one left with average ties with the Blood Tool Sect. The remaining sects were obviously buttering up to Chu Yunji and the Blood Tool Sect, they were pretty close. The Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect was isolated. The Blood Tool Sect had become the temporary head of the boundary. Although not possessing the strength to back it up, they were able to hold it with the lord of the Blood Tool Sect and Chu Yunji’s blacksmithing skills. The rise of their sect was bound to happen, they just needed more time, plus, all the other sects were dying to have an Origin Divine Tool, therefore, they would not get on the bad side of Chu Yunji.
“As for the marriage…” Ling Yanyu sighed as he looked towards Ling Yun.
Ling Yun’s eyes were filled with sadness. Jiang Chen managed to defeat Chu Yunji, so what? Chu Yunji’s reputation was tarnished but his skill was genuine, a true master blacksmith.
“I shall abide by the master’s decision.” Ling Yun said quietly as she bit her red lips.
She will not allow her master to face the Blood Tool Sect and the other great sects’ challenge without doing anything. Blood Tool Sect’s Chu Yunji had lost to Jiang Chen, the Earthly Fire Heavenly Lightning Sect would surely be even more isolated if she did not back down, it might probably lead to a war.
Blood Tool Sect was showing who’s boss, nobody dared to stand against them as the influence of a master blacksmith was evident and terrifying.
