Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2006: Chapter 2009: Hostage

”Jiang Chen!”

Tang Zhenglin said angrily, ”Junior Brother Chen, this person’s attack is too ruthless, leaving spiritual power inside his opponents. It’s not only to eliminate them but also a form of cruel torture. Such a person cannot join our Heavenly Sword Sect!”

”Jiang Chen?”

In Chen Jingxuan’s eyes, there was a hint of surprise. He thought Jiang Chen shouldn’t be such a person.

Yun Tao was also momentarily stunned. He glanced at the two people on the ground, then at Tang Zhenglin, with a knowing look in his eyes.

”In actual combat assessments, injuries and deaths are inevitable. As for his methods, we can just warn him about it later!”

Chen Jingxuan replied softly, bending down and placing his hands on the chests of the two youths.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A holy white light shone in Chen Jingxuan’s hands.

Whirr! Whirr!

Two streams of spiritual power emerged from the chests of the two youths, dissipating into the air.

The two youths circulated their spiritual power, suppressing the flow of blood from their chests.

”You two, leave on your own!”

Chen Jingxuan spoke softly.

There was a look of unwillingness in the eyes of the two youths as they looked up at Tang Zhenglin in the sky.

”If you’ve lost your fighting capability, you are eliminated. Still not leaving?”

Tang Zhenglin’s gaze changed slightly as he glared at the two of them, shouting coldly.

The two youths gritted their teeth, leaped up, and headed out of the forest, their eyes filled with resentment.

No matter how much resentment they harbored, there was nothing they could do. They had no background. They had thought they could latch onto Tang Zhenglin this time, but ended up being directly eliminated instead!

Chen Jingxuan’s gaze changed slightly as he glanced at Tang Zhenglin, then returned with a cold-looking man to where Lin Yuyan was.

”Two people eliminated in the early Unification Realm.”

”Unification Realm...”

As time passed, more and more people were eliminated. Gradually, fewer people remained in the forest, and the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples responsible for monitoring were getting farther away.

”Senior Brother Chen, a Unification Realm disciple is severely injured and near death!”

Just as the time for the assessment was about to end, a shout rang out over the forest.

Always silently paying attention to Lin Yuyan, Chen Jingxuan hurriedly dragged the cold-looking man towards the direction of the shout.

”Why do you keep dragging me along? You go by yourself; I’ll watch over this girl for you.”

Yun Tao complained discontentedly.

”I will not give you any chance to undermine me!”

Chen Jingxuan glared at Yun Tao, who pursed his lips while a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

If that Jiang Chen were merely a Soul Warrior, there wouldn’t be a reason for Chen Jingxuan to be so nervous, would there?

When Chen Jingxuan and the cold-looking man left the area where Lin Yuyan was, a cold gleam flashed in Song Zhijian’s eyes, who was in charge of that area.

The central part of the forest.

Since Jiang Chen had eliminated two Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivators in one move, no one else dared to trouble him.

Sitting bored atop a tree, Jiang Chen began to meditate.

”Jiang Chen, if you don’t want Lin Yuyan to die, you’d better come here obediently!”

Suddenly, a transmitted voice echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Jiang Chen’s eyes snapped open with a cold gleam, staring intently at Tang Zhenglin above.

”You’d better not shout, or I can’t guarantee that Lin Yuyan’s neck won’t be snapped the moment you cry out. Do you think the Sect would punish me, the son of the Vice Sect Leader, for killing a mere Unification Realm cultivator?”

A cold smile appeared on Tang Zhenglin’s face, and he swiftly descended into the forest, leaping rapidly in a certain direction.

The son of the Vice Sect Leader?

Jiang Chen frowned, then quickly chased after him.

The northern part of the forest, the farthest area from the gathering point.

Liu Jianming and Song Zhijian stood quietly under a large tree, waiting; at their feet lay the unconscious Lin Yuyan.

Swish swish!

Two figures shot rapidly toward them. Upon seeing Lin Yuyan on the ground, Jiang Chen’s face turned cold as he was about to rush forward.

Swish!

A cold gleam appeared as Liu Jianming drew his sword from his waist and placed it against Lin Yuyan’s neck, barking, ”Stop!”

”Bastard!”

Jiang Chen halted, coldly staring at Liu Jianming. ”A dignified disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and a young City Lord of Fenglin City, resorting to such dirty hostage tactics, aren’t you afraid of disgracing Fenglin City and the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

”Hmph! Jiang Chen, you’re righteous. Then exchange your life for hers!”

Liu Jianming sneered.

”To practice Soul Martial, and to have comprehended the Great Dao at the Semi Divine Infant Realm, you truly are a rare genius seen once in a millennium!”

Tang Zhenglin turned to Jiang Chen, jealousy flashing in his eyes. ”Jiang Chen, it’s your fault for being too talented. If you weren’t so outstanding, would we have to do this? A conflict between us has already formed, and if the Sect discovers your talent, would there be any place for us in the Heavenly Sword Sect? For our future, just die!”

”You think that by taking her hostage, you can force me to commit suicide? You’re too naïve!”

An expression of mockery appeared in Jiang Chen’s eyes as he spoke calmly.

”Watching your woman die in front of you, can you really remain indifferent?”

Liu Jianming’s expression changed as he spoke viciously, pushing the sword forward to cut Lin Yuyan’s neck and letting blood flow.

Jiang Chen’s eyes changed slightly, coldly watching Liu Jianming, his entire being exuding a chilling killing intent.

Lin Yuyan was not his woman, but she was his lifesaver, and he could not sit and watch as Lin Yuyan was harmed in front of him.

”What do you want?”

Jiang Chen asked coldly.

”It’s simple; I want you to take one of my strikes. If you don’t die, I’ll consider letting you both go!”

Tang Zhenglin said sinisterly.

Hmm...

A soft, confused voice sounded, and Lin Yuyan, lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes.

”Ah!”

She exclaimed in shock, looking at Liu Jianming in panic.

”Little beauty, you’ve woken up? See, your dear brother would rather watch you die than save you!”

Liu Jianming leered, scanning Lin Yuyan up and down. ”Why don’t you follow me? If you do, I promise not to let anyone harm you. How about it?”

Lin Yuyan panicked and wanted to back away, but the chill on her neck held her in place.

Gently turning her head, Lin Yuyan saw Jiang Chen standing with a cold expression. Instinctively, she cried out, ”Young Master, save me!”

”Did you hear that?”

Tang Zhenglin sneered. ”Your little beauty is calling for you to save her. What do you think? Will you save her?”

Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Yuyan, and an unexpected calmness came over his face. He looked coldly at Tang Zhenglin and spoke in a deep voice, ”I hope you will keep your promise.”

”Rest assured, as long as you take my strike, I’ll definitely keep my promise and release her!”

Tang Zhenglin’s eyes lit up with joy, slowly raising his right hand as a majestic Great Dao aura emanated from him, pressing down heavily upon Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s face shifted slightly, his eyes narrowing.
