Chapter 366: How Dare You Hit Me?
Chapter 366: How Dare You Hit Me?
November 10th, 2024
"Huh?"
Inside the Alchemy Chamber.
Jiang Cheng, who was closely observing the situation in the alchemy furnace, suddenly felt an ominous sensation.
This feeling only occurred during life-and-death crises.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion reverberated.
The tightly shut door, which was originally closed, was suddenly kicked open! Amidst the smoke and dust, a large hand reached out to grab at his neck.
But before he could react, a massive turtle shell appeared, blocking the attack.
"Mystic Turtle Shield?"
Huang Xing's face turned pale with shock.
The most feared scenario had come to pass.
This young man actually possessed a Tier 4 Intermediate Artifact!
"Did Gu Changjun send you?" Jiang Cheng asked as he took out his phone.
The leader of the Dawn Society was merely a Tenth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, and it was impossible for him to have the audacity to come here and kill in broad daylight.
Moreover, this person's speed was too fast; he could only see afterimages, and combined with Gu Changkong's recent words, it could only be Gu Changjun.
Huang Xing did not respond; instead, he raised his warblade and slashed fiercely at the turtle shell in front of Jiang Cheng!
One slash.
Two slashes.
Three slashes.
The turtle shell remained unmoved, and there was no sign of it breaking down in the short term.
Just as Huang Xing was about to give up, having realized that he couldn't break the defense even after several more slashes, Gu Changkong's anxious voice suddenly rang out over the phone, which had been answered after just a few rings.
"I understand. I'll be there immediately! If possible, try to stall him!"
Hearing this voice, Huang Xing felt a surge of anger.
Gu Changkong was indeed formidable; a mere Tenth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior dared to disregard a Grandmaster like himself?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the young master of the Gu family, he would have killed him already.
In his rage, he slashed out over ten times more.
Yet, Jiang Cheng remained unharmed.
At this moment, Huang Xing was almost driven to madness.
If it had been a Tier 4 Beginner Defensive Artifact, he might have been able to rely on his alloy warblade to destroy the artifact before the Primal Force crystal within it was depleted, thus capturing Jiang Cheng.
But against a Tier 4 Intermediate Defensive Artifact, he truly had no means.
Unless he exhausted the Primal Force crystal within, he couldn't break through the opponent's defense. Even if he used the Tier 4 Beginner Talisman he had, it wouldn't have much effect.
"Damn Gu Changjun!" he cursed silently.
If Gu Changjun had given him a slightly better alloy warblade or a few Intermediate Talismans, this turtle shell would have been shattered by now!
After several more slashes, Huang Xing still couldn't see any possibility of breaking through the defense. In the end, he decided to give up.
If they continued, Gu Changkong would arrive, and there might be unforeseen changes.
However, what he didn't expect was that Jiang Cheng, who had been quietly enduring the beating without any reaction, suddenly swung his fist, landing a solid punch right on his nose.
It didn't hurt, but it was humiliating.
Huang Xing was stunned.
He stared at Jiang Cheng, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if saying, "How dare you hit me? Try hitting me again!"
Jiang Cheng remained silent, merely giving him the middle finger.
"You're asking for death!" Huang Xing roared, his teeth clenching in anger.
How dare a mere Primordial Energy Warrior act so arrogantly before him? If not for that turtle shell, he would have killed the other party dozens or even hundreds of times by now!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of the blade clashing against the turtle shell continuously echoed in the room.
It wasn't until the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door that Huang Xing snapped out of his fury, his clouded mind clearing.
Gu Changkong had arrived and was right outside the door!
Without hesitation, instead of exiting through the room's entrance, he chose to break through a wall and continue charging forward.
"You're asking for it!"
At this moment, Gu Changkong appeared at the doorway, his eyes burning with rage at the sight before him.
He never expected that in just a short while of his absence, such a dangerous situation would unfold.
This was the heart of the black market, and yet someone had repeatedly intruded!
As Huang Xing crashed through the last wall and escaped outside, Gu Changkong took out a talisman.
Immediately, a burning Fire Serpent, as thick as an adult's arm and two to three meters long, shot forward at nearly a thousand meters per second, chasing after Huang Xing.
Despite being a couple of meters away, when the Fire Serpent flew past, Jiang Cheng still felt a wave of heat wash over him, and this was with the protection of the Mystic Turtle Shield.
If not for the shield, he dared not imagine the outcome.
Huang Xing also felt a strong sense of danger and looked back, his eyes filled with despair.
Fire Serpent Talisman!
Gu Changkong actually had a Fire Serpent Talisman on him!
This was a Fourth Rank Advanced Talisman; even a Third Rank Grandmaster would suffer severe injuries relying solely on their physical body.
And Huang Xing, merely a First Rank Grandmaster, had a physical defense that was several times weaker than a Third Rank Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, he only had a Fourth Rank Beginner Artifact on him, which couldn't block the attack.
"Damn it!"
Huang Xing's heart filled with infinite regret.
He knew that even if Gu Changkong was no longer favored, he was still the young master of the Gu family, and he must have valuable items on him.
If he had left a few seconds earlier, he could have escaped successfully, but he had lost his wits due to Jiang Cheng's provocation.
Desperate, Huang Xing roared and swung his battle sword at the Fire Serpent!
"Boom!"
A loud noise reverberated.
The battle sword in his hand instantly melted.
The protective shield on its surface didn't even last a blink of an eye.
The Fire Serpent pierced through his chest.
Huang Xing fell to his knees with a thud, a gaping hole in his chest, his internal organs instantly cooked and evaporated. He was dead beyond dead.
The Fire Serpent turned in mid-air and returned to the talisman in Gu Changkong's hand.
If Huang Xing were still alive, he would have recognized that the talisman in Gu Changkong's hand was not just a simple talisman but a talisman artifact.
Jiang Cheng watched this scene, his heart filled with shock.
The assassin was undoubtedly a Grandmaster, but even so, he was instantly killed!
"Are you okay?"
Gu Changkong put away the talisman artifact and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Thanks to the treasure Gu Ge gave me, but the Primal Force Crystal inside has been consumed by half."
"It's okay, I'll give you a new one later."
Gu Changkong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gu Ge, who is that person?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and looked outside.
"You'll know if you take a look."
Gu Changkong's eyes turned cold.
The two walked over to the corpse.
Gu Changkong reached out and touched the man's face for a moment before tearing off the human skin mask.
A familiar face appeared before them.
"It's him."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.
Indeed, the man before them was the middle-aged man who had followed Gu Changjun before.
Gu Changkong's face turned grim.
He had already suspected something, but such matters required evidence.
Now with the evidence, even so, it might not be enough to deal with the mastermind.
