Chapter 129: Farewell to the Cage!
Chapter 129: Farewell to the Cage!
"Clang!"
A loud collision reverberated.
The recoil from the iron rod numbed Jiang Cheng's arm.
"Ah! Die! Die!"
Lin Feng went berserk, unleashing his full strength, swinging his blade down towards Jiang Cheng repeatedly.
Since he was already doomed, he would take Jiang Cheng with him!
Even at such close range, he could still react if those two men made a move.
After more than ten slashes, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
He was a First Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, and even his blade's speed was several times faster than ordinary people, not to mention his strength, which was superior to the average person.
But why could this guy in front of him block every attack?
After another blocked strike, he took two steps back, his eyes less bloodshot, and he glared at Jiang Cheng, gritting his teeth, "You... something's not right. Are you also a Primordial Energy Warrior?"
"Indeed."
Jiang Cheng flexed his numbed wrist from the impact.
The drawback of the short rod was its powerful recoil, unlike swords with handles for a better grip.
"Like you, I'm also a First Rank."
"I knew it; I should've guessed earlier."
He glared resentfully at the two behind Jiang Cheng.
If Jiang Cheng were just an ordinary person, how could these two just stand there and watch?
He felt a deep sense of humiliation, being played with and powerless to do anything.
"It seems you've lost your fighting spirit."
Jiang Cheng's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.
This was his first encounter with a Primordial Energy Warrior, and he wanted to gain some experience, so he chose to defend rather than attack.
Now,
He dashed forward, his wrist drawing a half-circle, and the rod smashed towards the opponent's chest.
"Come on, let's die together!"
Lin Feng burst into laughter, not dodging or evading, and swung his blade towards Jiang Cheng's neck.
"!"
The two behind Jiang Cheng's faces slightly changed.
"Clang!"
Another collision sounded.
Jiang Cheng blocked the opponent's long blade with his left hand's rod, and the rod in his right hand immediately struck the opponent's blade-wielding hand.
The attacking principle of the short rod was etched into his mind, and he would never violate the discipline by attacking the opponent's vital points instead of their weapon-holding hand.
The previous move was just a feint.
"Ah!"
The intense pain in his hand made Lin Feng scream.
But he couldn't scream for long.
Jiang Cheng's double rods danced in his hands, striking the opponent's chest one after another.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With each blow, several ribs were shattered.
By the end, they were reduced to fragments.
Lin Feng's body convulsed violently, and blood poured from his mouth. After enduring over a hundred strikes, he finally collapsed with a thud.
His wide-open eyes seemed to convey his disbelief.
He had died at the hands of a mere youth.
Jiang Cheng exhaled, and most of the frustration in his heart dissipated.
"Indeed, meeting you is better than hearing about you."
Red Tea's voice reached them, "Canghai, your short rod skills are not to be underestimated."
"Red Tea, you flatter me."
Jiang Cheng turned around and smiled at the two, "My meager skills are not worth mentioning."
"Haha, don't be so modest."
Red Tea walked over and patted his shoulder, "If I were a First Rank, I wouldn't be so sure of victory against you. As for Nightingale, haha, people like us who focus on physical strength have an inherent disadvantage against mental masters of the same level. Moreover, Nightingale's insight is exceptionally high, making her stand out among mental masters of the same rank. You don't need to compare yourself to her."
"Natural disadvantage?" Jiang Cheng expressed curiosity.
"Yes, you saw how Nightingale attacked just now. For us to strike our opponents, we must engage in close combat, but Nightingale doesn't need to. Her attack range is much greater than ours, and because her weapon is a steel needle, it's small, incredibly fast, and has a shocking impact. Due to its small contact area, it's even more terrifying when it hits its target. If you really can't understand, imagine our Primordial Energy Warrior's attack as a missile, and the Mind Master's attack as an armor-piercing shell."
"I understand."
Jiang Cheng smiled.
"Good, as long as you understand."
Hong Cha looked at the corpses on the ground and then around her. "It's getting late. We should leave this place too, Cang Hai. Don't be too sentimental. Perhaps in the future, when you're on a mission, you'll have the chance to return here."
"Yeah, I'll go get my luggage now."
Jiang Cheng went into the house and brought out a box he had prepared earlier.
The three of them walked along the alley, and before long, they got into a car and headed towards the outer district.
Jiang Cheng sat in the back seat, watching the scenery of the slums as they sped away. Suddenly, he felt a sense of freedom, like a bird soaring in the sky or a fish returning to the ocean.
The next moment, he snapped back to reality.
Even though they had temporarily escaped the slums, it didn't mean they had escaped the cage. After all, who knew if the outer district would be another cage? Moreover, this planet was a massive cage for the Yan Ren living within it.
It was too early to be happy.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.
Farewell, for now, slums.
But there would be a day when he would return.
...
An hour passed, and there wasn't a soul around Jiang Cheng's house, not a single person dared to step out of their door.
Terrifying! It was too terrifying!
Thirty to forty people, all dead!
Even from a distance of several dozen meters, they could smell the nauseating stench of blood.
However, they hadn't seen clearly how those people had died.
No, except for one person, the last guy. They never would have guessed that the harmless-looking Jiang Cheng would dare to kill! And he had killed members of the Iron Fist Gang!
They even suspected they were hallucinating.
Was that person really Jiang Cheng?
The Iron Fist Gang members waited for their boss to return, but he never showed up. When they came to check on the situation, they were so scared by the scene that they fell to the ground, their minds blank.
After a while, more gang members arrived, removing the bodies one by one, while others went door to door, asking what had happened.
The remaining gang members couldn't hide anything and told them everything they had seen.
These remaining Iron Fist Gang members seemed to have developed a psychological shadow of this place. After gathering the information they wanted, they left quickly.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the slums, and within an hour, it was the talk of every street and alley.
The rumors became more and more exaggerated.
At first, it was just that Jiang Cheng had killed one person.
Then it became that he had killed a dozen.
Later, they said he had killed several dozen!
By the end, the rumors were out of control. Some said that Jiang Cheng could kill dozens with just a glare, while others claimed he could do it with a shout. There were even rumors that Jiang Cheng practiced dark arts and could kill dozens with a wave of his hand.
The news kept spreading until it reached the Falcon Fist Gym.
