The Brilliant Fighting Master - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: A Huge Gap

Lily was a Cloud-Five Reaching Heaven State whose phoenix blood was thick . In addition to that, her martial arts techniques level was also high .

Otherwise, Gao Li and Gao Yan wouldn't have given her such an important task .

But Jiang Chen wasn't nervous at all . He was even smiling .

It occurred to him that since he had defeated Shui Chun, he had never fought anyone else from the Dragon Field . That was why he was being underestimated .

In fact, he was over ten times better than them .

"Holy Fire Burns Sky: A Diagonal Slash to the Moon!"

Lily used a knife . Her attack carried fierce flames, the horrid power of the knife gushing in the sea of fire .

Jiang Chen noticed the flames on her blade were very dense . They looked nearly liquid, very dangerous .

Great achievement of the creation of fire?

Jiang Chen's lips curled up . So it wouldn't be a boring fight .

He had sensed the killing intent of this woman . He looked towards Gao Yan and Gao Li, both in the air .

To be honest, Gao Yan's strategy was pretty simple, but very effective . He had read Gao Ke well so that he could anticipate the latter's actions .

However, he could never anticipate that Jiang Chen was a man of genuine blood .

"Did you just get distracted during our fight?!"

Lily threw her knife over . At the same time, she was observing Jiang Chen, trying to find his flaws, but it turned out that Jiang Chen was full of flaws .

She was irritated by his casualty . The anger, mixed with the humiliation from the slap, made her killing intent burn as much as the fire on her knife .

She struck . The slash was powerful enough to cut a river into two, but at the moment, it aimed to cut Jiang Chen into two .

However, the knife was warded off when it was only a foot away from him .

"Why not?" Jiang Chen answered her question with a question . His black knife took the attack steadily .

More than that, even the fire, which was fierce enough to fuse metal, was disturbed by a shapeless gale .

"How?"

Lily was shocked . This was totally unexpected to her .

"That's all you have? You claimed you were very powerful . I expected more . You called me a piece of crap . Then what are you?" asked Jiang Chen .

Lily turned ashen . The arrogance she had shown at the Southwind Ridge earlier that day was completely gone .

"Don't be so proud of yourself!"

Lily didn't give up, instead making an all-out attack . Not only her knife, but also her hands and shoulders, were emitting large amounts of fire .

The phoenix pattern of the Gaos appeared between her eyebrows .

"Go to hell!"

She started to hack around him like a crazy . She launched hundreds of knife attacks in the span of a few seconds, all aimed at Jiang Chen's crucial parts .

"Damn it!"

But it was in vain . All her attacks were warded off .

Jiang Chen looked very casual throughout the whole process . His sharp eyes had seen through everything . He had anticipated each of her attacks .

With only a few changes, the black knife cracked his rival's attacks .

"Now you see the gap between us . Do you think yourself foolish?" said Jiang Chen .

Then he stopped defending and started to attack . He dashed forward . All of his moves looked average, but they pushed Lily into a tight corner .

"He's great!"

The people around were very surprised . It wasn't that they had never expected Jiang Chen to be powerful, but they had never thought he would be that powerful .

This wasn't a competition—it was Jiang Chen's show .

Some people looked towards Gao Li with pity .

He had bet a drop of fire phoenix's genuine blood, but the end result was obvious from the beginning . God only knew how he felt .

His expression more or less showed his disappointment .

"Phoenix Dominates the World!"

Lily was still struggling, so she exerted her trump card .

She first retreated until she was a good distance away, then she produced flames until she looked like she was wearing fire . Whirling, she flew out with swords in both hands .

As she whirled, the flames whirled as well . Together, they gradually formed the shape of a fire phoenix .

When the phoenix shaped up, she gave off an overwhelming energy that seemed able to destroy a mountain .

"A smart move . "

"Lily's martial arts techniques aren't as good as his . Now she's turning to her state advantage . Maybe it'll work . She could turn the tide . "

"I'm not sure whether Jiang Chen can take this hard blow . "

Gao Ke said, "Sister, Lily is showing all she has . She wants to kill Jiang Chen . "

"Doesn't matter . " Gao Yue shook her head . She knew Jiang Chen's strength pretty well . Lily was far less than a threat to him .

It was true . Seeing the fire phoenix dashing over, Jiang Chen simply turned his neck . He looked pretty calm .

"You think only my martial arts techniques are better than yours?"

A gale formed around him . After a few jumps of wispy arcs of electricity, he was armed with the dazzling armor of thunder .

"A Strike Without Permanence!"

Jiang Chen inserted the knife into its sheath . With his body tilted forward, he dashed over and the black knife left the sheath once again .

The bystanders only saw a shadow streak through the fire phoenix . It all happened in a flash .

Then they saw the phoenix transformed by Lily split into two from the middle .

In a few seconds, the fire was extinguished . Lily fell onto the ground . Her chest was bleeding heavily as she lied down in her own blood .

Jiang Chen had killed a descendant of the Gaos' direct line with only one knife attack .

What Gao Yue had said was suddenly given importance .

"Brutal . That was too brutal . It was only a competition . How could you kill your rival?!" Gao Li's harsh voice broke the silence again .

It looked he was going to find an excuse to break his promise again .

But Lily's death had caused a great stir .

"Each of Lily's knife strikes aimed to kill my son . Each of them was made with all-out effort . I believe everyone noticed," Gao Yue said .

"Lily wasn't strong enough . She had to do that," said Gao Li .

"Ridiculous . Before the fight, everyone thought my son was weaker . So did Lily . Uncle, you're really shameless . "

"You!"

Gao Li pointed at her angrily . He was about to lose his temper .

"But it's a fact that Jiang Chen meant to kill her," Gao Yan said .

Wiping blood off the blade, Jiang Chen said sarcastically, "Do you mean if she wanted to kill me, I would have had to take it? Was justice on her side since she was weaker?"

"I want to hear the verdict of the clan elders . " Gao Yan ignored him and looked towards Gao Ke .

Gao Ke didn't speak, but everyone on the spot realized things weren't so simple anymore .

The clan elders' verdict was the most sacred ceremony of the Gaos .

Taking the lord's sickness and Gao Yue's situation into consideration, Gao Yan wasn't asking for it at this moment just to target Jiang Chen .

"What an old fox . He has two strings to his bow . Whether Lily won or lost, he would ask for the clan elders' verdict!" Gao Ke said in a low voice .

"Right . The verdict . We want the clan elders' verdict!" Gao Li hoped they could make a bigger scene so that no one would remember the drop of his fire phoenix's genuine blood .

"Brother, say yes," Gao Yue said .

"Sister?"

Gao Ke was confused . Once the verdict started, the next lord of the Gaos would be decided . It would be time to show their hand .

But for the moment, they didn't have enough bargaining chips .

"It's all right," Gao Yue said while glancing at Jiang Chen .

No matter what other bargaining chips they had, once they told the others that Jiang Chen was a man of genuine blood, they would gain a complete victory .
