Jiang Yun

Jiang Chen planned to rest for two days before entering the Great Wilderness Forest to hunt demonic beasts.

After leaving the shop, Jiang Chen went to a restaurant. He had spent the past few days outdoors, braving the elements and sleeping rough.

Now that he had earned so many spirit stones, he naturally decided to treat himself. He ordered a tableful of good dishes and began to eat.

Just then, seven or eight people approached from outside the restaurant. At the head was a youth at the Martial Artist Realm, Second Level. Jiang Xing stood beside him. Jiang Xing had already been bandaged up, but he would need a month of rest to recover.

"Is Jiang Chen in this restaurant?" Jiang Yun asked.

"Big Brother Jiang Yun, I saw him enter this restaurant with my own eyes," one of the youths said.

This person was on Jiang Yun's side. Jiang Yun was Jiang Xing's elder brother. Someone had broken one of Jiang Xing's arms—how could he, as his elder brother, not get revenge?

Thus, Jiang Yun had sent people to search for Jiang Chen's whereabouts.

As it happened, Jiang Yun and Jiang Chen's father were both absent from the Jiang Family during this period. Even if the two came into conflict, neither side's elders would step in.

"This Jiang Chen certainly knows how to enjoy himself. He actually came to such an upscale restaurant." Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes.

A meal here cost at least a dozen spirit stones, which was not cheap. Jiang Yun rarely came here to spend money either.

"Big Brother, you must avenge me," Jiang Xing said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry. Jiang Chen is no match for us," Jiang Yun said coldly.

His cultivation had previously been the same as Jiang Chen's, and neither had been willing to yield to the other. Today, Jiang Yun intended to defeat Jiang Chen and prove that he was stronger.

The group entered the restaurant and quickly found Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, hiding here, are you? We finally found you. How dare you break one of my younger brother Jiang Xing's arms?" Jiang Yun led his people over to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen saw Jiang Yun approaching with his men, then glanced at Jiang Xing, whose eyes were filled with hatred.

"Get lost before I lose my temper. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing you no mercy," Jiang Chen said indifferently.

"Jiang Chen, what do you have left to be arrogant about? When your realm was the same as mine, I was somewhat wary of you. But your dantian has been crippled—what qualifications do you have to act arrogantly in front of me? You crippled one of my brother's arms, so today I'll cripple both of yours!" Jiang Yun shouted.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Was this Jiang Yun courting death?

"Even with my dantian crippled, your brother still wasn't my match. Doesn't that mean your brother is a good-for-nothing? It seems Jiang Xing still didn't take my words to heart."

"Jiang Yun, you want to cripple both my arms? Then we'll see whether you have the ability. If you can't defeat me, neither of you brothers will leave here with your arms intact today," Jiang Chen said coldly.

"You're courting death!" Jiang Yun flew into a rage. Even now, Jiang Chen was still so arrogant. Jiang Yun immediately tried to strike Jiang Chen with his palm, intending to send him flying.

"Smack!" A figure flew out and crashed hard into a nearby table, smashing it to pieces.

Everyone was stunned. The person sent flying was not Jiang Chen, but Jiang Yun.

"What?"

Jiang Yun himself failed to react for a moment. He had not even seen Jiang Chen's movement clearly before a blow landed on his face and sent him flying.

Jiang Xing and the others were also dumbstruck.

What had they just seen? Jiang Yun, who was at the Martial Artist Realm, Second Level, had actually been no match for Jiang Chen?

"Martial Artist Realm." At that moment, everyone sensed the aura emanating from Jiang Chen.

"Wasn't your dantian destroyed? How can you still be at the Martial Artist Realm..." Jiang Yun was horrified.

"Who said that having your dantian destroyed means you can't cultivate? Did you really think I had become a good-for-nothing?" Jiang Chen said coldly.

If he had been without cultivation today, he truly would have been bullied by these people.

"Everyone, attack together!" Jiang Yun shouted furiously. At this point, he could no longer care about his pride.

Jiang Chen had slapped him in the face in front of so many people, making him lose all dignity.

The others finally came to their senses and rushed at Jiang Chen one after another.

"Pfft! Pfft!" Jiang Chen moved with incredible speed, striking repeatedly. Every one of them was sent flying, Jiang Xing included. Jiang Xing's hand was already injured, and now the pain made him grit his teeth.

Jiang Chen came before Jiang Yun and instantly seized both of his arms.

Jiang Yun was horrified. "Jiang Chen, what are you trying to do?"

"Didn't you want to cripple both my arms? Then I'll return that treatment to you now and let you experience the feeling of having both arms broken." Jiang Chen revealed a cruel smile.

The sight filled Jiang Yun with fear.

After what had happened with Liu Yun, and after killing the Yinluo Sect members, Jiang Chen's state of mind had changed. He no longer showed mercy to his enemies, even if they were members of his own clan.

If anyone dared to act against him, they could not blame him for showing no mercy.

With overwhelming force, Jiang Chen instantly snapped both of Jiang Yun's arms.

"Ah..." Jiang Yun let out a shriek. Everyone nearby felt a chill run down their spines. His methods were far too brutal.

Jiang Chen tossed Jiang Yun aside, then walked over to Jiang Xing.

"No! Don't come over..." Jiang Xing was filled with terror and kept scrambling backward.

"Jiang Xing, I warned you before not to provoke me again. You refused to listen, so don't blame me for disregarding our relationship," Jiang Chen said coldly.

Jiang Chen kicked Jiang Xing flying. Jiang Xing had no power to fight back at all. He vomited blood, and then Jiang Chen stomped on his other arm.

Crack! The sound of breaking bones rang out, followed by Jiang Xing's scream.

The other lackeys were also terrified. When they saw Jiang Chen look their way, they involuntarily retreated.

"Overestimating yourselves. This time, I'll count it as a lesson. If you dare provoke me again, next time I'll cripple your legs," Jiang Chen said.

"Enough. You damaged quite a few things, so you'll compensate for them." Jiang Chen directly snatched the money pouches from their bodies.

They were completely unable to stop him.

"Shopkeeper, sorry for breaking so many of your things. Here are one hundred spirit stones to cover the meal and the damages." Jiang Chen handed one hundred spirit stones to the shopkeeper.

He had searched more than five hundred spirit stones from these people in total, and Jiang Chen kept the rest for himself.

"Of course, of course." The shopkeeper accepted the spirit stones with a beaming smile.

Jiang Chen's meal had been worth only twelve spirit stones, while the damaged items were worth merely eight. It was incredibly cheap. Jiang Chen had given one hundred spirit stones, so the shopkeeper had no complaints—the spirit stones had been paid in full.

Jiang Chen left the restaurant. Many people discussed it animatedly. It turned out that Jiang Chen's cultivation had not been lost at all. Instead, he had become even stronger than before.

This was what many people thought. Jiang Yun, who was at the Martial Artist Realm, Second Level, had not even been able to withstand a single move from Jiang Chen, proving how formidable Jiang Chen was.

Many people wondered how much of a gap there was between Jiang Chen and the Jiang Family's number-one genius, Jiang Yuan.

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Chen returned home. He bought his mother some delicious food, along with a Third-tier Spirit Nurturing Pill.

Jiang Chen's mother, Li Huirong, was at the Martial Artist Realm, Ninth Level. She had ordinary talent, and because she had never received abundant resources, she had been unable to break through to the Martial Master Realm.

Jiang Chen also gave his mother a Fifth-tier Red Sun Fruit.

"Chen'er, why did you give me so many things? Keep these resources for yourself. You need them more than I do." Li Huirong was shocked.

She had never expected Jiang Chen to give her so many things, and she was deeply moved. However, she hoped even more that these things would be used on Jiang Chen instead.

Wasn't this what it meant to hope that one's son would become a dragon?
