Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 993: Chapter 996: Go Help by Making an Appearance

Just as Dragon Saint was looking at Jiang Chen, suddenly, he gently waved his hand towards Jiang Chen.

Whoosh!

A faint golden thread shot out from Dragon Saint’s hand, rapidly heading towards the center of Jiang Chen’s forehead.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to dodge, it was already too late. The thread appeared instantly in front of Jiang Chen’s forehead and burrowed into it.

”Awooo!”

Suddenly, a loud dragon’s roar sounded within Jiang Chen’s body.

The faint golden thread abruptly paused at Jiang Chen’s forehead.

”What?! What is this?”

Dragon Saint exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Jiang Chen.

Elder Qing and the others were completely dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, staring blankly at Dragon Saint.

”Dragon Saint Senior, what is this...” Jiang Chen took two steps back, glanced at the faint golden thread hanging in the air, and looked warily at Dragon Saint.

”I...” Dragon Saint gave a wry smile, stretched out his hand, and the faint golden thread returned to his hand and disappeared instantly.

”This was a strand of my Soul Consciousness, originally intended to remain inside your body to see if it could help you restrain the Heart Demon when you’re about to break through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, but...”

Dragon Saint showed an expression of being both amused and helpless, ”But why did you have to use that bit of Dragon Qi?”

”Dragon Qi?”

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, then recalled the extremely pure Dragon Qi that had been inside his body and asked with confusion, ”Dragon Saint Senior, do you know whose Dragon Qi that was?”

With Dragon Saint’s strength, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen heard Dragon Saint’s explanation, he believed it right away!

”You don’t know?!”

Dragon Saint widened his eyes in surprise, then said with a dawning realization, ”That explains it, but since that person didn’t tell you, I shouldn’t overstep. However, you...”

Sigh!

”How could you be so impatient and use the Dragon Qi? If you hadn’t, it could’ve helped you overcome the Heart Demon when breaking through the Barrier between Heaven and Man!”

Dragon Saint sighed, his eyes revealing a look of disappointment: ”But now, although that Dragon Qi has merged into your body, the Soul Power within it has already vanished, and that Dragon Qi, being extremely proud, won’t agree to coexist with someone else’s Soul Consciousness in one body. I... I can’t help you now!”

Although Elder Qing and the others were not quite clear about what Dragon Saint was talking about, they all showed expressions of regret upon hearing his words as they were well aware of the flaw in Jiang Chen’s Cultivation Technique, looking at Jiang Chen with pity.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, shaking his head indifferently.

Back when he faced the control of the Eight-Headed Serpent, he had no choice but to use that Dragon Qi. Even if he had known then that the Dragon Qi could help him resist the Heart Demon while breaking through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, he would still have used it!

After a moment of commiseration, Elder Qing pulled Jiang Chen aside to say goodbye.

After Jiang Chen and Elder Qing left, Dragon Saint looked seriously at the people of Long Zhengu:

”From now on, anything belonging to Flame Dragon must regard Mr. Jiang’s will as paramount whenever they encounter him!”

The people of Long Zhengu were momentarily stunned, just about to ask.

Dragon Saint added, ”You only need to know one thing. Jiang Chen is a peerless talent, a chosen one by destiny.”

”Yes.”

The people of Long Zhengu quickly nodded solemnly in response.

...

Ding-a-ling!

Jiang Chen had just stepped out of the cave when a ringtone echoed.

Taking out his phone, Jiang Chen looked at it with slight confusion and answered the call, ”Hello, Zhu Jing.”

”Mr. Jiang, can you help my father?” came Zhu Jing’s anxious voice from the receiver.

Times had changed, and the current Jiang Chen was no longer someone Zhu Jing could treat as an equal; she could only look up to him!

In the past, when Jiang Chen first visited her home to treat her father, as a daughter of a director at Wanguo Bank Flame Dragon Headquarters, she had scolded Jiang Chen thoroughly.

But now, even speaking to Jiang Chen on the phone, she did so with sincere trepidation, fearing any disrespect.

It must be said, fate plays with people.

”What happened?” Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

”The annual conference of Wanguo Bank is about to start, can you help my father make a stand there?” Zhu Jing’s voice was filled with pleading.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, then remembered that back when he was in Jinhai, the Chen Family had threatened Zhu Zhengkun, promising to support his rival at the Wanguo Bank conference and have Zhu Zhengkun removed from the board.

”What do you need me to do?” Jiang Chen asked gravely.

Back when he had sparked a business war in Jincheng, Zhu Zhengkun had not hesitated to lend him money, a favor Jiang Chen had always remembered.

”Oh, it’s just...”

”Okay!”

Jiang Chen hung up the phone, turning to Elder Qing beside him, ”Elder Qing, if there’s nothing else, I should be going.”

”Okay, go ahead, come visit when you have time!” Elder Qing replied with a light chuckle.

”All right.” Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something and spoke in a low voice, ”Elder Qing, I need a favor.”

Elder Qing looked puzzled and said, ”Tell me.”

”I was thinking of asking Chixiao Sect about something, but it occurred to me that I might get more information from you.” Jiang Chen spoke softly, ”Elder Qing, have you heard of the Shadow Clan?”

”The Shadow Clan?!” Elder Qing was startled, then smiled slightly, ”Has the Shadow Clan come after you?”

”Come after me?” Jiang Chen was surprised and asked, ”What are they after me for?”

Elder Qing looked amazed and said, ”They haven’t come for you? That’s strange!”

”What’s strange?” Jiang Chen was utterly baffled.

”This... Aren’t you very well connected with the Dark Night Mercenary Corps?” Elder Qing did not respond directly, but instead posed a question.

A thought struck Jiang Chen, ”Elder Qing, are you saying...”

”When it comes to the Shadow Clan, you might want to ask someone from the Dark Night Mercenary Corps. It’s better if they explain this matter!” Elder Qing hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

”Okay!” Jiang Chen nodded, feeling that a heavy fog that had always enveloped his mind was about to lift!

Bidding farewell to Elder Qing, Jiang Chen left the Flame Dragon Headquarters alone.

...

Jincheng International Airport.

Jiang Chen stood quietly waiting at the airport entrance.

Whoosh... Squeak!

Soon, a Maserati Presidente pulled up next to Jiang Chen.

Click!

The car door opened, and Gong Lin got out, holding a thick stack of documents.

”It’s all here!” Gong Lin approached Jiang Chen, handed over the documents, and said with a light laugh, ”It’s a good thing I have a set of stamps from Yi Chen Group, or we wouldn’t have been able to get these documents from Yi Chen in time!”

”I didn’t expect Zhu Zhengkun to be so formal, not even thinking to call me when he faced such trouble!” Jiang Chen said with a light laugh, shaking his head.

”Director Zhu has been good to us, helped Jing Yi in the past, and later loaned you money. It’s only right that we help him!” Gong Lin spoke softly, then slightly furrowed her brows, ”But... is this enough? After all, Wanguo Bank is a world-class bank!”
