Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 624: Chapter 624: If You Shouldn’t Endure, Then Don’t!_1

”Do you think the troops trained by the Dragon King can be measured by ordinary standards? Moreover, has the Dragon King given you the cultivation technique?” Chen Jiantao said with a slight smile.

An Long nodded, then his eyes suddenly brightened, ”You’ve already...”

”Yes, the cultivation technique is the one Dragon King developed when he was with us. We were the first to practice it!” Chen Jiantao nodded slightly.

An Long exhaled in relief. The cultivation technique was given to Xuan Long and An Long when Jiang Chen and the others first came to the dilapidated hotel. They had been too busy to practice it these past two days, but they had glanced through it and understood its power. Knowing that Chen Jiantao had practiced it, An Long felt somewhat relieved.

”What? I thought you guys were quite formidable? Why is it taking you so long to decide whether to fight or not? Don’t tell me you’ve chickened out,” Kuang Shi taunted.

”We’re just discussing who should send you to your grave,” Chen Jiantao turned and looked at Kuang Shi coldly.

Kuang Shi’s expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowing as a hint of killing intent flashed through them, ”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

”Alright, let’s go.” Chen Jiantao nodded and began striding toward the Grand Beast Arena at the center.

With a ferocious smile, Kuang Shi stepped up to follow.

The provocation from the great warriors of the Northern Alliance was somewhat out of spite, but Kuang Shi’s intention was different. He wanted to use Dragon Flame to climb up to Dark Spider, and now that Dragon Flame was at odds with Dark Spider, Kuang Shi saw an opportunity to kill an important member of Dragon Flame as a gift to Dark Spider.

Originally, he wanted to kill An Long, whom he had seen injured. But since Chen Jiantao could stand in front of An Long, it implied Chen Jiantao’s status was at least not lower than An Long’s. Having never seen him before, there was a good chance Chen Jiantao was someone from behind the scenes of Dragon Flame, so Kuang Shi naturally preferred to switch his target to Chen Jiantao.

In the presidential suite number 1 of the dilapidated hotel, Jiang Chen was sleeping soundly.

Dinglingling!

A cell phone ringtone suddenly broke the silence, and Jiang Chen frowned, reaching out blindly for the cell phone beside his pillow without even opening his eyes. He picked up the call, ”Hello?”

”Dragon King, Xue Yu has agreed to a life-and-death duel with Kuang Shi, the deputy commander of the Burst Flame Mercenary Corps. They are now heading to the Grand Beast Arena,” the voice of An Long came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen immediately opened his eyes and replied solemnly, ”I’m on my way.”

Getting out of bed quickly and dressing, Jiang Chen made several phone calls at the same time.

Click!

After getting dressed and opening the door, Jiang Chen stood at the threshold, waiting.

Click, click, click!

The doors of the neighboring rooms opened, and Xuan Long, Mengte De’er, Xing Fei, and Scar emerged from their rooms.

”Let’s go, Xue Yu is in a life-and-death duel with someone. To the Grand Beast Arena!” Without waiting for anyone to speak, Jiang Chen said with a grim face.

”I’ll call Yan Mo and the others just in case we need more hands,” Scar said softly, ”Mo Bao and Mad Tiger didn’t go with An Long and the others. They headed to Diamond Country after completing their mission yesterday due to a minor issue there.”

”No need, let’s first see what’s happening. Yan Mo and the others can act as a surprise attack force. Let...” Jiang Chen started to shake his head, but before he could finish his sentence, the doors to Yan Mo’s and another person’s room opened and they walked out.

”Dragon King, we can’t play the role of a surprise force. Others might not know, but Dark Night Angel definitely does since we’ve joined forces!” Yan Mo spoke gravely.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly, ”Since that’s the case, let’s go. Let’s see if this Burst Flame Mercenary Corps really has a death wish.”

”However...”

There was a pause before Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice, ”Yan Mo, you and Kuang Shi shouldn’t come with us. If you do, Long Yan might not dare to provoke us. Long Yan needs experience, and I need to use this opportunity to train my troops. It’s a good chance for them to enhance their strength.”

”Okay!” Yan Mo nodded his head.

Jiang Chen and the others left the hotel first, and Yan Mo and his companion waited a moment before following suit.

In a duplex suite of the hotel, the Dark Night Queen stood at an observation point, silently watching the hotel entrance. She muttered to herself, ”Leaving in separate groups? Is this because Long Yan doesn’t want to rely on Burst Flame’s reputation? This Dragon King does have some pride and a spirited edge!”

Outside the Grand Beast Arena.

The members of Long Yan had all arrived here, followed by a bunch of mercenaries who were there for the spectacle.

”What are you all doing here? Go back to the hotel and rest!” a deep voice commanded.

The crowd turned their heads to look, and Jiang Chen and his companions approached.

”Dragon King!”

”Dragon King!”

The members of Long Yan called out one after another.

Kuang Shi, men of the Northern Alliance, and others were stunned. The people of Long Yan didn’t call out for Xuan Long, the leader, but ’Dragon King’ instead? Could it be that this Dragon King was...

”Are you injured?” Jiang Chen glanced at An Long’s abdomen and frowned. ”Take your men back to the hotel. Xue Yu, Xie Long, and Feng Lang, the three of you stay behind!”

”Yes!”

An Long responded and, with Jiang Chen there, there was no need for him to be involved. He was only there to offer some advice about the rules of the mercenary world to Chen Jiantao, but now that Xuan Long and Scar had arrived, his presence was unnecessary!

An Long turned and waved to the others, leading them back to the hotel.

After glancing at Kuang Shi and the others, Jiang Chen led the way into the Grand Beast Arena with Chen Jiantao and the rest hurriedly following.

”Talk about it.” After entering the Grand Beast Arena and moving through the corridors, Jiang Chen spoke up.

Chen Jiantao explained the cause of the incident.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, ”An Long and the others did nothing wrong. Mercenaries are different from you; if they had backed down then, they would have been left with a reputation for being cowardly and weak. That would have meant they couldn’t get involved in factional power and wouldn’t be able to take on significant missions, only dealing with trivial matters, which is worse than going back to their own country.”

Chen Jiantao nodded, ”I’ve also realized that, but, Dragon King, why... why do you do this?”

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood the implication behind Chen Jiantao’s words.

Chen Jiantao wasn’t asking about anything else but why Jiang Chen wanted to establish the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group. He knew that Jiang Chen was the boss of Yi Chen Group and now the chief instructor of Long Ya. To him, there seemed to be no need for Jiang Chen to set up a mercenary group.

”There are things you don’t know about. I need my own power, whether in business or other areas. Only when I am strong in all aspects can I rightfully return to my family. If I don’t strengthen myself, even if I went back, I would only be swallowed up sooner or later,” Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

”Family?!” Chen Jiantao was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Chen with some surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, speaking softly, ”I am the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, the only heir to a family I’ve never spent a single day within!”
