Chapter 1999
“Oh really? Yang Yu, do you really think Jiang Chen will come? He is not a fool, you know? I’m guessing that Jiang Chen already thought that it’s pointless to come as only death awaits him here . ”
Nanbei Taisheng teased with a playful expression .
“Death? Apparently, the person who can send him to hell has yet to appear in this world . Isn’t he still living well even though three massive Immortal Courts have been trying to hunt him down?” Yang Yu replied .
Jiang Chen’s influence to Great Qian Empire was indeed too much . In fact, Jiang Chen was already treated as a deity by the people of the empire, including the emperor of the empire . Inwardly, for them, Jiang Chen was an all-powerful being . The members of the three immortal courts were unable to kill him, let alone Young Master Chao, who would be facing him alone .
“We’ll just wait and see! There are only three more hours before the deadline . If Jiang Chen doesn’t appear, all of you will be doomed . When the time comes, I will never go easy on you . ”
Nanbei Taisheng let out a cold harrumph . He flung his sleeves and turned around to leave .
From his viewpoint, Jiang Chen would never appear . After all, the situation before him was already too obvious . Since coming here was equivalent to getting oneself killed, no fool would possibly come .
“Emperor, do you think Young Master Jiang Chen will come and save us?”
Someone asked .
“Don’t worry . Little Chen will never cast us aside . I know he won’t . ”
Yang Bufan confidently replied . Jiang Chen and him were brothers who had been through thick and thin . He was a person who understood Jiang Chen’s personality well enough . As long as Jiang Chen received the letter of challenge, and knew that the Great Qian Empire was in peril, he would definitely come even if he had to climb a mountain of swords, or plunge into a sea of flames .
“My only concern now is that Jiang Chen may not be Nanbei Chao’s match . I heard that Young Master Chao was the reincarnation of Great Sovereign Batian . Currently, he has already advanced into the Great Sovereign realm before Jiang Chen . Even Miss Yan isn’t his opponent now . It hasn’t been long since Jiang Chen left our empire . No matter how miraculous he may be, he will, at the very most, advanced only a realm . How can he possibly fight Young Master Chao?”
“Yeah . If Jiang Chen can’t win against Nanbei Chao, not only we have to die in the end but also him . ”
“Hai! Let’s resign ourselves to fate . It is the most crucial point which concerns the life and death of our Great Qian Empire . I wonder if Young Master Jiang can still create a miracle this time . ”
…
As their conversations spread, despair began to fill the hearts of the other prisoners . According to Nanbei Taisheng, there were only three hours left . If Jiang Chen still doesn’t appear, it will be their end .
Besides, even if Jiang Chen did come, perhaps he would not be able to defeat Young Master Chao . After all, the difference in cultivation realms between the two was worlds apart .
However, since they were all prisoners now, the fate of Great Qian Empire lied in Jiang Chen’s hands . The only thing they could do was to pray, and follow their destinies .
“Miss Yan, are you alright?”
Yang Bufan’s gaze shifted towards Yan Chenyu who was beside him, and anxiously asked . During her battle with Nanbei Chao, she suffered quite a serious injury .
“I’m fine . Don’t worry . Brother Chen will surely return . ”
Yan Chenyu spoke . Her tone was even firmer than anyone else . In her heart, Jiang Chen had never once disappointed them . No matter how dangerous the situation turned out to be, Jiang Chen would always be able to emerge at the most critical juncture, and turn the table around .
Besides, Yan Chenyu knew him all too well . If somebody else sent the letter of challenge to him, he might not take the matter to his heart . However, since it was sent by Nanbei Chao, Jiang Chen would, without a doubt, show himself . In this entire world, the only person that Jiang Chen could never submit to was Nanbei Chao . It was just like how Nanbei Chao would not yield to Jiang Chen .
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed by . To the people of the Great Qian Empire, it was literally a painful wait . Every second that slipped by was tormenting . They were already standing at the place of execution, and it was only a matter of time before they were executed .
Up until this point, many of them had already completely lost all hope . Some of them thought that Jiang Chen was not going to come because if he really wanted to, he would’ve already appeared long ago . After all, it had been nearly three days since the letter of challenge was sent to him .
When there was only an hour left before the agreed time, the prisoners in the martial arena began to feel agitated, and commotion filled the atmosphere .
It was at this moment that a silhouette of a man appeared in the vast sky . He wore a yellow robe, and his thick hair was in golden color . From head to toe, his presence emanated an immense dominating aura .
This golden-haired, golden-robed man was none other than the person who had just advanced into the First Grade Great Sovereign realm – Nanbei Chao .
As Jiang Chen expected, even though Nanbei Chao just advanced into the First Grade Great Sovereign realm, his mastery of the Great Sovereign Law was nearly flawless . In fact, not even Li Wangye, and Qin Xuanbing could rival him .
“Young Master Chao, in my opinion, I think that Jiang Chen won’t show himself . ”
One of the elders of Nanbei Family uttered .
“No . He will come no matter what . ”
Nanbei Chao spoke in a cold tone .
A person could be understood the most not only by their friends, but also by their enemies . Even to the last second, Nanbei Chao still believed that his arch nemesis, Jiang Chen, would surely appear .
“Young Master Chao, what if Jiang Chen really doesn’t appear? What should we do then?” Nanbei Taisheng asked .
“If he doesn’t come, then just kill everyone here and spare no one . ”
Nanbei Chao’s tone was as indifferent as usual . However, the viciousness of his words was already capable of causing them to be frightened from the tips of their hair to the marrow of their very bones .
None of them dared to doubt Nanbei Chao . His tone itself was already beyond all doubts . To them, it was an absolute judgement from a superior being .
As his words fell, everyone was clear that if Jiang Chen still doesn’t appear, this place would definitely be turned into a slaughterhouse, where blood flows over the ground like a stream .
The people of Great Qian Empire began to tremble in fear . Countless faces turned pale as utter hopelessness invaded their hearts . It was their first time feeling death so imminent .
All of a sudden, a hole was created somewhere in the distant part of the sky . A man and a dog-like human emerged . Their emergence caused a tempestuous storm . The dark, glossy hair of the white-robed man was blowing in the wind . He looked exactly like a matchless god of war . The radiance emitted from his body was so dazzling that no one dared to stare at him straight in the eyes .
“It’s Jiang Chen . He came after all!”
“Yes . He has come! He hasn’t cast us, the Great Qian Empire, aside! He has finally come to our rescue!”
“Great! We are saved now . As long as Jiang Chen is here, everything will be alright . ”
…
The face of the prisoners who were in total despair just a moment ago lit up with hope and excitement as soon as they caught sight of Jiang Chen . Their hearts were instantly filled with an indescribable exhilaration .
Although they did not know how great Jiang Chen’s current power was, let alone whether Jiang Chen could defeat Nanbei Chao, they all had one single belief – the moment Jiang Chen appeared, they would definitely be saved . It was an undeniable fact that Jiang Chen would never watch them die .
That was their belief, a blind belief .
“He never disappoints anyone . ”
Yang Yu’s lips curved into a smile . He knew he would never misjudge Jiang Chen . Furthermore, all this while, Jiang Chen had really never let anyone down . He had proven it countless times in the past .
“His cultivation level has already reached the peak of late Immortal Venerable realm . Apparently, he is just a hair’s breadth away from the half-step Great Sovereign realm . With his current power, if he used his dragon form, he would definitely be able to put up a fight with Nanbei Chao . ”
Yang Bufan spoke with a smile on his face .
