38: Chapter 38 The Four Sons of the Jiang Family, Released from Prison to Seek Revenge
"You're courting death!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the bald man rushing over with a blade, reached out his right hand, and grabbed the man's wrist directly.
The bald man was startled at first, then stomped hard on the ground, leaped into the air, and brought his foot down heavily toward Jiang Chen's shoulder.
"Damn brat, don't look down on me, Liu Qiang!"
The kick, delivered with the bald man's full strength, carried several hundred pounds of force.
If it landed, even a steel plate would be snapped in two.
Let alone a shoulder made of flesh and blood.
Jiang Chen was unfazed by the kick, but he wasn't about to let it land easily.
He suddenly reached out his other hand, instantly grabbing the man's ankle, and effortlessly neutralized the several hundred pounds of force.
"Ho... how is this possible?"
The bald man's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes were filled with terror.
The opponent was clearly only in his twenties; how could he block a kick delivered with full force?
He was an expert in Hidden Qi, after all!
He was also one of the two quasi-Grandmasters in the Red Skull, second only to the President.
Jiang Chen gripped the bald man's ankle, exerted sudden force, and slammed him violently onto the ground.
At the same time, he snatched the short blade from the man and flicked it casually.
"Thud!"
The bald man hit the floor with a dull thud.
Before he could even react, he watched helplessly as the short blade flew toward him, piercing straight through his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and died instantly.
The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.
The remaining six people were plunged into silence, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
They knew the bald man's strength well; he was the second-ranked powerhouse in the Red Skull. They hadn't expected him to be killed so easily.
The only person who could still maintain his composure was the President of the Red Skull.
The old man stepped forward, his sharp eyes locked onto Jiang Chen, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, isn't this going a bit too far? Even if King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong wants to unify the underground world of Jiangnan Province, there is no need to kill everyone, right?"
Jiang Chen stared at the old man, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
This was the second time he had heard the name "King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong" since breaking into the conference room.
Clearly, these people knew King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong.
They even mistook him for one of King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong's men.
Jiang Chen did not deny it immediately but said coldly: "Going too far? Have you done few evil deeds over these years in the Red Skull? You colluded with the Chifeng Group to abduct young girls; isn't that going too far?"
Hearing this, the old man was visibly stunned.
He had to realize that the evil deeds they committed were merely small fry compared to what the King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong's group did.
Could it be that this person was not from King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong's side?
If he were one of King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong's men, he certainly wouldn't say such things.
After all, neither side was cleaner than the other.
"Brat, you are not one of King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong's men!"
After realizing this, the old man's eyes sharpened significantly, and he said sinisterly: "It seems you must be a rookie from some Ancient Martial Arts Family, relying on your own Ancient Martial Arts cultivation to uphold justice and eliminate evil."
"It's a pity you chose the wrong target. Those who oppose the Red Skull only have one path: death!"
Just as everyone thought the old man was going to kill Jiang Chen, the old man changed his tone: "However, I am a man who cherishes talent. You are so young and already possess such strength; it would be a pity to kill you."
"Why not join the Red Skull? I will make you the Vice President, and we can join forces to accomplish great things. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the other five could no longer remain calm.
The President was planning to recruit this brat!
The key was that he was letting him be the Vice President.
They had joined the Red Skull for so many years, putting in countless blood and sweat, before they had the qualifications to be among the top brass.
This brat was made Vice President the moment he walked in, which made them very dissatisfied.
"President, this brat is not on the same side as us!"
"Exactly, if he joins the Red Skull, who knows what will happen!"
"President, let's join forces and kill him!"
"..."
The other five tried to persuade him, but were scared into silence by a single look from the old man.
The Red Skull had suffered heavy losses and its Origin Qi was severely damaged.
It would take at least ten years to recover.
But if they recruited this brat in front of them to join the Red Skull, it would inevitably strengthen the Red Skull's power.
It is easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general.
All the losses of the Red Skull today did not compare to the value of this brat in front of them.
"Brat, think it over carefully."
The old man stood with his hands behind his back, squinting at Jiang Chen: "As long as you join the Red Skull, I will give you whatever you want. I can even take you as my disciple and teach you a divine skill for harvesting Yin to replenish Yang!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen, waiting for his reply.
In their view, with the promise of a high position and the teaching of a divine skill, no one could refuse such a temptation.
Yet, they didn't expect Jiang Chen to refuse.
Jiang Chen's eyes shot out a cold light, and he said coldly: "You are truly damned. So, you abducted so many young women just to use them to practice your evil skill."
"Everyone, attack together, kill him!!"
The top brass of the Red Skull, fearing that Jiang Chen might change his mind, rushed forward as if they had conspired beforehand.
Soon they rushed in front of Jiang Chen and slashed with their blades.
Rushing at the very front was the middle-aged man with a scar on his face, his right fist wearing brass knuckles, smashing directly toward Jiang Chen's face.
Jiang Chen immediately activated the Tai Xuan Sutra, True Qi wrapping around his entire arm, and threw a punch.
"Crack!"
Their fists collided instantly.
The scarred man's entire right arm instantly shattered, and the next moment he flew backward, his head smashing into the wall, brain matter splattering everywhere.
Jiang Chen then rushed toward the other four, his movements as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.
Soon the remaining four Red Skull high-level members all fell.
Either their necks were snapped, or their chests were collapsed with a punch mark; all of them had lost their lives.
Only Jiang Chen and the old man remained in the conference room.
And in the old man's eyes, they were filled with endless shock and fear.
He knew Jiang Chen's strength was great, but he hadn't expected it to be so formidable, even surpassing his own.
He had to know that it had taken him fifty or sixty years to Cultivate to such a Realm.
The opponent was only in his twenties, yet was above him.
How could he not be shocked and terrified?
Moreover, the ruthlessness and decisiveness of his attacks didn't look like those of a rookie at all; they were even more vicious than a professional killer.
"You... who exactly are you?"
The old man stared fixedly at Jiang Chen, unconsciously taking a step back.
Jiang Chen glanced at him indifferently, his voice cold: "Jiang Family of Jinling, Jiang Chen."
"Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family?"
The old man immediately showed a look of horror.
Hadn't the Jiang Family of Jinling been wiped out three years ago?
Why did the name Jiang Chen sound somewhat familiar?
Suddenly, he thought of something.
He remembered that the Jiang Family had a fourth Young Master who had been imprisoned for five years for taking the blame for someone else, and his name seemed to be Jiang Chen.
But that Jiang Chen was said to be a playboy who only knew how to indulge in wine and women, eat, drink, and play; how could he possibly become a Martial Arts Grandmaster?
Although it was hard to believe, the young man in front of him was indeed the fourth Young Master of the Jiang Family.
Back then, the Red Skull, like other forces, had participated in the gluttonous feast of devouring the Jiang Family's assets.
Now their retribution had arrived.
The fourth Young Master of the Jiang Family had returned for revenge.
