Chapter 284: You Can't Escape Either
Chapter 284: You Can't Escape Either
This sudden admission of defeat not only stunned Bai Wei and the others watching from the side but also made Jiang Cheng pause, refraining from immediately pursuing.
Tang Nian retreated about twenty to thirty meters, looking at his right hand, feeling the pain.
This A-Class Combat Armor had cost him a fortune, and even though he didn't wear it often, he had taken good care of it.
Now, the right arm armor was ruined, and repairing it wouldn't be cheap.
More importantly, if the fight continued, it might not just be the arm armor that got ruined. If the other side got his Ice Soul, his life could be at risk.
Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Xiao Yuanqing, who was not far away.
This useless person, who only brings trouble and no success.
Who did he offend to anger such a terrifying figure? No wonder the other side dared to barge in during broad daylight. A Seventh Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, such a person, even in the outer city, is a significant figure.
"Take this guy with you."
He said the next moment.
"!!!"
Zeng Zhiteng, Bai Wei, and the other two couldn't believe their ears.
Their Master actually abandoned Xiao Yuanqing?
Xiao Yuanqing was dazed, his head buzzing.
He, he was abandoned?
Jiang Cheng laughed upon hearing this.
He had to admit, this was very much in character for the man.
But he still asked, "Are you sure? If I'm not mistaken, he is your third disciple, right? I don't need to remind you what will happen to him if I take him away, do I?"
"Humph, he was my disciple in the past, but from now on, he is not."
Tang Nian said without hesitation.
"Master?"
"Shut up!"
Tang Nian barked, "Don't call me Master. I have no disciple who loves to cause trouble. I've told you countless times to focus on your training and avoid trouble. But did you listen? No. The result today is your own doing. From now on, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me or the Falcon Martial Academy. Get out."
He had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Yuanqing, not just because of his character but more so because of his lack of talent.
Even Bai Wei, who joined later, was about to surpass him.
Moreover, the person in front of him was too strong. He had already fought him and considered it fair enough.
"Master, Master."
Xiao Yuanqing felt as if the sky was falling. He lay on the ground, pleading incessantly.
"Master, please, don't expel me from the academy. If I go with him, I will definitely be killed. Master, please save me, I beg you."
Seeing Xiao Yuanqing's pitiful state, even Bai Wei, who had issues with him, couldn't bear to watch.
"Master, Xiao Senior Brother..."
"Shut up! I just said he is no longer my disciple or your senior brother. If any of you plead for him, don't blame me for not showing mercy and expelling you from the academy as well!"
Tang Nian said sternly.
This silenced the three of them.
After all, sacrificing their future for Xiao Yuanqing wasn't worth it.
But from this moment on, Tang Nian's lofty image in their hearts was shattered.
"Truly worthy of being an Academy Head. You can abandon your disciple so easily. If you can do this today, then one day, abandoning the other three shouldn't be difficult either." Jiang Cheng chuckled.
Tang Nian's face changed.
Even a fool could understand the deeper meaning behind Jiang Cheng's words.
But the situation was beyond his control.
It was just a matter of verbal sparring. He'd let the other side have this one and tell his son about it later.
"Alright, I've already paid you. You should fulfill your promise and leave now, right?"
"Those were the promises of the past."
"What do you mean?"
Tang Nian had a bad feeling.
"Before you attacked me, I did indeed think that way. But after you attacked me, I changed my mind." The smile on Jiang Cheng's face turned cold.
"You attack when you want to and stop when you want to. Do you think you're someone important? Today, not only Xiao Yuanqing, but you must die as well!"
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng suddenly kicked off the ground, instantly covering a distance of twenty to thirty meters, and appeared in front of Tang Nian, punching his right hand that held the sword.
Tang Nian had no time to react.
"Bang!"
The gauntlet on his right hand shattered.
The alloy battle sword fell from his hand.
"No!"
Tang Nian's eyes showed panic and anxiety as he quickly reached out with his left hand to grab the sword.
However, his speed was nearly half as fast as Jiang Cheng's.
Before his fingers could touch the sword, the hilt fell into Jiang Cheng's hand. In the next second, an azure blade glow flashed.
A splash of blood spattered.
"Ahhh!"
With a piercing scream, Tang Nian's left hand and part of his left arm, along with the arm armor, were severed.
Zeng Zhiteng and the other two were utterly stunned.
They hadn't seen the details of the battle and didn't know how the sword ended up in Jiang Cheng's hand.
But they saw their Master's partial arm flying high and heard the pig-like screams he emitted.
Xiao Yuanqing, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, also heard it.
But he felt a strange sense of relief.
Yes.
Since he had been abandoned and could not survive,
He might as well drag Tang Nian down with him.
Best if Zeng Zhiteng, Bai Wei, and the others were included as well.
After all, if he couldn't live, neither should they.
"Good sword."
Jiang Cheng praised.
At the same spot, he would have needed several punches to break through.
With the A-Rank alloy battle sword in hand, he cut through it in one stroke.
In the next moment, he swung again.
This time, Tang Nian's other arm was severed.
Blood gushed from the wound.
"No! No!"
Tang Nian's face contorted in pain. "Don't, don't kill me. I'll agree to anything you want. Please, don't kill me."
Jiang Cheng shook his head upon hearing this.
A slash across the neck.
"Plop."
A headless corpse fell to the ground.
"Master... Master..."
Zeng Zhiteng and the other two, as if drained of all their strength, collapsed to the ground.
Though Tang Nian's actions earlier had chilled their hearts, they worried that one day they might be abandoned as well.
But watching Tang Nian be killed right before their eyes filled them with immense sorrow. After all, years of close interaction had forged a deep bond that couldn't be erased so easily.
"Ha ha ha, well done! Well done indeed!"
Xiao Yuanqing laughed loudly.
Even though Bai Wei and the others glared at him angrily, he paid no attention, muttering curses: "Old man, you deserve it! You thought by abandoning me, others would spare you? Ha ha ha, stupid! So stupid!"
"Xiao Yuanqing, are you still human? If Master hadn't protected you, would he have been killed?" Bai Wei asked accusingly.
"So what? When he couldn't beat others, he sold me out. Isn't that what he did? Huh? Isn't it?" Xiao Yuanqing said with a sinister tone.
