After hearing Jiang Hai and Jiang Yunfeng's words, many clansmen furrowed their brows.

This was indeed a difficult choice.

Whether they compromised or fought a bloody battle, neither option would be good for the Jiang Family.

Could it be that there was no third choice?

At that moment, Jiang Chen had also returned to Qingyue Town.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered Qingyue Town, many people noticed him and began pointing at him.

Clearly, word of Jiang Chen's affairs had spread.

Back when Jiang Chen had shone brilliantly in the Jiang Family's grand tournament, defeating numerous Jiang Family geniuses and becoming the number-one genius, quite a few people had gone to watch the matches. Thus, they recognized Jiang Chen.

Moreover, two Martial Master Realm experts from the Bloodfire Mercenary Group had mingled among the crowd and were keeping an eye on things.

Their main purpose was to find Jiang Chen's whereabouts. If Jiang Chen was there, they would capture or kill him first and worry about the rest later.

Their target was Jiang Chen. They had not expected him to appear at this time, but it suited them perfectly.

They still did not know that Jiang Chen's strength had already become formidable. He was no longer comparable to how he had been some time ago.

"Jiang Chen, after waiting for so long, we've finally waited until you showed yourself. Now, let's see how you're going to run." The two Martial Master Realm mercenaries blocked Jiang Chen from both sides, their faces filled with malice.

Both of them released the aura of the Martial Master Realm, startling the surrounding pedestrians.

Who would have thought that Martial Master Realm experts were hiding among the crowd?

Generally speaking, so long as the difference in strength was not too great, it was difficult to determine another person's realm if they did not release their aura.

Jiang Chen had not released his aura, so the two mercenaries before him had no idea of his strength.

Of these two Martial Master Realm mercenaries, one was at the Martial Master Realm, Third Level, while the other was at the Martial Master Realm, Fourth Level.

Their strength was quite formidable. Within the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, they were at least squad-leader level.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chen asked coldly.

He had offended too many people: people from the Yinluo Sect, the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, and the Yin Corpse Sect.

However, it was unlikely that these people were from the Yin Corpse Sect. There had been no survivors that day.

"Hmph, Jiang Chen, you killed so many of our Bloodfire Mercenary Group's people, and you actually still have the nerve to ask who we are?" one of the mercenaries sneered.

They felt that Jiang Chen had reached the end of the road.

With the two of them, both Martial Master Realm experts, making a move, could Jiang Chen still escape?

Some onlookers also began worrying for Jiang Chen.

"During the Jiang Family's grand tournament, Jiang Chen was at the Martial Artist Realm Tenth Level, right? But the two people before him are both Martial Master Realm experts. Jiang Chen definitely isn't their match. This time, Jiang Chen is in danger," someone said.

"Alas, Jiang Chen killed people from the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, so they've come for revenge. And now the entire Jiang Family is going to suffer for it," someone sighed.

"That's why you should always tell the people around you never to offend powerful figures. Otherwise, you might get dragged into it. You could even lose your life without knowing what happened."

Many people were talking animatedly, all discussing Jiang Chen's situation.

From the surrounding people's conversations, Jiang Chen learned that the Bloodfire Mercenary Group had actually gone to cause trouble for the Jiang Family.

At this thought, a cold glint appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Bloodfire Mercenary Group, you're courting death. Are you forcing me to go berserk?

"So you're people from the Bloodfire Mercenary Group. Then, what do you want?" Jiang Chen asked, though he already knew the answer.

"If you want to live a little longer, obediently come with us and meet our leader. That way, you might live a little longer. Otherwise, we'll kill you right now, cut off your head, and take it back to report to our leader," the Martial Master Realm mercenary said.

If they could capture Jiang Chen alive, it would naturally be a great achievement.

Of course, bringing back his head would likewise be a great achievement.

"What if I say that the two of you won't be able to return alive?" Jiang Chen asked lightly.

"What? What do you mean?" The two Martial Master Realm mercenaries did not understand Jiang Chen's words.

Some of the spectators watching the battle were also stunned.

Did Jiang Chen mean that he wanted to kill the two Martial Master Realm mercenaries before him?

What a joke. Jiang Chen was only at the Martial Artist Realm Tenth Level. How could he possibly kill them?

Taking on one of them would already be difficult enough, yet he wanted to kill two Martial Master Realm experts?

That was what many of the spectators thought.

They had always believed that Jiang Chen was still at his realm from some time ago—the Martial Artist Realm Tenth Level.

"What I mean is, I'm going to kill you," Jiang Chen repeated. Then, a powerful aura erupted from him.

An aura at the Martial Master Realm, Fifth Level, burst forth.

That powerful aura caused the expressions of everyone nearby to change dramatically.

Good heavens, what had they seen?

Jiang Chen was actually a Martial Master Realm expert?

How old was Jiang Chen this year?

Eighteen. An eighteen-year-old Martial Master Realm expert—such talent was astonishing. In Qingyue Town, who could compare with him?

He was truly an unparalleled genius. That was what many of the spectators were thinking.

The two Martial Master Realm mercenaries were also stunned, and then their expressions changed wildly.

Good heavens, Jiang Chen was actually a Martial Master Realm, Fifth Level expert?

Back when Jiang Chen had been at the Martial Artist Realm, he had already been able to kill enemies above his level. The Bloodfire Mercenary Group knew that he was a true genius.

That was why they had sent Martial Master Realm experts to deal with Jiang Chen: they wanted to swiftly crush and kill him.

They had never expected Jiang Chen's strength to exceed their expectations. How long had it even been?

He had already reached the Martial Master Realm, Fifth Level?

This speed was far too astonishing, wasn't it?

Before the two of them could react, Jiang Chen swung the Silver Moon Blade in his hand, and a flash of blade light streaked past.

The two bodies fell straight to the ground.

Their eyes were wide open, and the blade wounds at their necks had claimed both their lives.

Master, there is more to this chapter. Please click the next page to continue reading. The story gets even more exciting!

Before Jiang Chen, these two Martial Master Realm mercenaries had not even been his match for a single move.

One had to know that Jiang Chen's current strength was comparable to that of the Martial Grandmaster Realm.

"Ah..." Many of the spectators screamed.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the two Martial Master Realm mercenaries would be killed by Jiang Chen?

This also showed just how powerful Jiang Chen was.

After killing the two mercenaries, Jiang Chen devoured their blood-qi power, and his cultivation rose somewhat.

Now that Jiang Chen wanted to advance, he needed even more spiritual energy. His cultivation would no longer rise as quickly.

After collecting the spoils from his opponents, Jiang Chen left directly.

Many people who had witnessed this scene also hurried away. If the Bloodfire Mercenary Group discovered that their two Martial Master Realm experts had been killed, they would surely fly into a rage. If those people remained here, they might well become targets for the Bloodfire Mercenary Group to vent their fury on.

Before long, hardly anyone remained on this street.

When Jiang Chen returned to the Jiang Family, he found the main gate tightly shut. He immediately circulated his energy, leaped with all his might, and jumped directly into the Jiang Family's compound.

"Who is it?" The moment Jiang Chen landed, someone immediately fixed their eyes on him.

"It's me, Jiang Chen," Jiang Chen said.

"Jiang Chen?" After the Jiang Family clansman saw clearly that it was Jiang Chen, his face remained expressionless.

The Jiang Family was currently embroiled in endless arguments over Jiang Chen's affairs.

Jiang Chen had brought a great calamity upon the Jiang Family, and some of the Jiang Family clansmen were extremely displeased with his actions.

Why should the entire Jiang Family bear the risk for Jiang Chen's affairs?

Although the Jiang Family had closed its gates, they had still stationed some people in the courtyard to keep watch.

If anyone dared to sneak in, they would be able to discover it immediately.
