Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1941

Chapter 1941: 1941

Destroying House Yan obviously didn’t weigh on the four cloaked men’s minds . In their eyes, their superior power over the house justified their deeds .

They weren’t fazed at all by Jiang Chen’s demand for an explanation .

The one cloaked in brown smiled slightly . “Of course we have our reasons . If you were in the same boat as House Yan, we would’ve taken care of you as well . You’re lucky though . Our master decided to spare you . ”

Jiang Chen frowned . The man’s tone made it clear that he was used to being in charge . Even knowing that Jiang Chen was the heir to the Eternal Sacred Land didn’t change his attitude . These people must have quite the important background .

However, Jiang Chen was also a proud man . The more forceful the other was, the less cooperative he would be .

His gaze turned frosty as he riposited in a frigid tone, “I don’t know who your master is, but we’ll determine our own fate . We don’t need your fake mercy . ”

“Oh?” The brown-cloaked man’s voice sharpened . The air went thick and still with tension .

Yan Wanjun and the others felt their hearts race .

“Jiang Chen, should we ask for the sacred land’s help?” Yan Qingsang asked quietly .

Jiang Chen didn’t answer . He looked over the brown-cloaked man and his companions . “You may be used to giving out orders, but let me tell you something: Not everyone is going to dance to your tune, and not everyone is easy prey for you . ”

“Tsk tsk, kid . I heard you contributed to the resolution of the Eternal Sacred Land’s uprising, but as far as we know, it was all due to luck and a few tricks you pulled . Do you think we’re anything like the idiotic rebels in your nation?”

“I don’t care who you are . You four aren’t entitled to talk to me like you’re better . ” Jiang Chen scoffed, his tone casual .

The four cloaked men exchanged a glance and huffed . They’d killed many people to get to this point . There was a lot of blood on their hands . They felt nothing after killing everyone in House Yan . In fact, they never felt anything when they took a life . Their minds remained strong and unwavering .

They wouldn’t have been civil with Jiang Chen if not for their master’s order .

So he was the successor of the sacred land . Big deal . They still wouldn’t hesitate to kill him . The Eternal Sacred Land was nothing in their eyes . The venerated forefather was the only one who could even pose a threat to them .

And their master wasn’t any lesser than the forefather .

It only made sense that they would consider themselves superior and act accordingly . However, they didn’t expect Jiang Chen to refuse to cooperate . They now felt the urge to kill the young man .

“Our master told us to spare you, kid, but it’ll be unwise of you to abuse that privilege and strut around before us . ” The brown-cloaked man’s expression darkened . “I’ll have to teach you a lesson even if my master is going to punish me . ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly . “Are you going to come at me together, or one by one?”

“All of us against the five of you?” the cloaked man sniffed derisively . “You don’t deserve such treatment . ”

Blue cloak seemed to remember something at this time . He messaged brown cloak, who nodded and also responded silently .

Jiang Chen didn’t know what they were talking about, but he could tell it was something important . He also noticed them glancing over his shoulders a few times during their conversation .

They were subconsciously looking at Huang’er .

He wasn’t sure if he was mistaken, but it made him thirst for their blood . Targeting Huang’er was the quickest way to make Jiang Chen their enemy .

If they’d massacred House Yan for a good reason, Jiang Chen might not fight them to the death . However, Huang’er was the one thing most precious to him . Anyone who dared lay a hand on her must die!

Nonetheless, Jiang Chen could tell they didn’t desire Huang’er the way a man would a woman . Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time for him to pursue that thought further .

Brown cloak leveled Jiang Chen with a cold stare .  

“There was a young man from House Yan who was as arrogant as you . I think his name is Yan Zhenhuai . However, he was too weak to back up his arrogance, so he’s now a pile of dust . I hope you won’t let me down and will have something to back up your attitude .  

“I’m won’t be a bully . If you can survive five exchanges with me in a duel, I’ll forgive your trespasses today . If you can’t, it’ll serve a boastful fool like you right to die at my hands . ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly . “If we’re going to fight, why should we limit ourselves to only a few exchanges?”

“What do you mean?” Brown cloak paused . He didn’t expect the young man to be dissatisfied with his offer .

“We should our strength speak for ourselves even if it takes hundreds or thousands of exchanges of blows . Don’t you feel embarrassed for boasting before we even start fighting? What if you fail to defeat me after a few hundred moves? Won’t that be the apex of shame?”

Brown cloak burst into laughter . “A few hundred? Kid, if you can survive ten moves from me, I’ll gladly let you have my head!”

Jiang Chen had thoroughly angered the man .

Which was exactly what he was trying to do . He’d fought demigods before, even before he ascended to sixth level empyrean . Moreover, he’d exchanged blows with the man earlier with his Evil Golden Eye .

Even if he couldn’t defeat the demigod cultivator, he was sure he’d be able to protect himself .

The man’s promise to give him his head gave Jiang Chen the upper hand . He asked gravely, “Do you meant that?”

Brown cloak raged . “Of course I did . ”

Jiang Chen scoffed . “I don’t want you to go back on your words . ”

“You way overestimate yourself, kid . How are you going to make me regret my words?”

“I can’t force you to honor your words when it comes down to life or death . I don’t want your head . Instead, tell me who you are if I can survive ten attacks from you . ”

Jiang Chen changed the terms of the game . The man had three companions . If he was defeated, they weren’t going to just let him kill their comrade, especially since brown cloak seemed to be the leader of the group .
