199: I'll take you to him.

Aotian Pill Pavilion.

Murong Gui held a Telescope (thousand-mile mirror) and observed the distant battle.

Although this battle started very suddenly, Murong Gui had known about it in advance, so he clearly saw the entire situation.

When Murong Gui saw Jiang Chen kill someone with just a roasted goose, his expression immediately turned ugly.

Immediately after, the other three figures soared into the air.

Murong Gui knew that these three were trying to escape.

After all, as assassins, they had that much discerning power.

Two people had died consecutively, and even their combined ultimate moves had been used, yet they still couldn't defeat the enemy, nor did they even know what level Jiang Chen's strength was at.

Not even a single hair on Jiang Chen's head was harmed.

Such a huge disparity naturally made them realize that if they didn't leave now, it would be too late.

Initially, when Murong Gui saw the three fleeing, his heart was filled with anxiety and anger.

These people actually deserted in battle.

However, in the next moment, the three who fled were also blasted to death by Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Murong Gui was completely shocked.

But at the same time, there was also a sense of satisfaction; he had paid money, so these assassins could only die, not escape!

“They deserved to be killed for their lack of professionalism.”

“They even tried to run away.”

Murong Gui cursed.

Suddenly, Murong Gui abruptly put down the Telescope (thousand-mile mirror) in his hand.

Just now, through the Telescope (thousand-mile mirror), Murong Gui saw that after Jiang Chen collected the Storage Rings of the five people, he was actually rushing directly in his direction.

What did that mean?

He couldn't be coming to kill him, could he?

Murong Gui's heart trembled violently.

He was the Saint of the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Jiang Chen should know how big an impact killing him would have!

“Hehe, Saint, how is the battle over there?”

The Purple-Robed Alchemist, seeing Murong Gui's changing expression, thought that Murong Gui was feeling that he was about to pay the final installment, so his face looked a bit grim, but at least the people were dealt with.

“He… he’s coming…”

Murong Gui's heart trembled.

“What's coming?”

No sooner had he spoken than a sound of rushing air was heard.

The Purple-Robed Alchemist also suddenly saw a figure descending from the sky, landing towards the Aotian Pill Pavilion.

“It's Jiang Chen!”

The Purple-Robed Alchemist exclaimed.

“Saint, Jiang Chen is here!”

Thud!

Jiang Chen's figure landed on the rooftop.

He descended at such an extremely fast speed, yet he did not damage the rooftop, which showed his formidable strength and absolute control over his Physical Body.

“Are you that… Gui?”

Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, facing Murong Gui.

The Purple-Robed Alchemist moved quickly, swiftly retreating behind Murong Gui.

At this moment, upon seeing that it was Jiang Chen who had arrived, the Purple-Robed Alchemist instantly perked up.

“How dare you! How dare you disrespect the Saint of my Fenglan Sword Sect!”

“Since you have met the Saint of my Fenglan Sword Sect, why do you not kneel and salute!”

The Purple-Robed Alchemist roared.

Jiang Chen chuckled upon hearing this.

“Heh heh, I kneel to you?”

“That… Gui, I ask you, were those five assassins sent by you to assassinate me?”

Jiang Chen asked.

Hearing Jiang Chen constantly calling him “that… Gui,” Murong Gui felt greatly insulted and immediately clenched his fists.

“Presumptuous!”

Murong Gui snorted coldly.

“What are you, to dare question me?”

“I am the Saint of the Fenglan Sword Sect.”

“The Fenglan Sword Sect is about to become the Imperial Sword Sect of the court! In terms of official rank, I am higher than you!”

“So what if I found those five people?”

“To clean up trash like you, why would I need to personally act?”

“Jiang Chen, if you know what’s good for you, commit suicide to atone for your sins, and I can spare your family’s lives.”

After his initial agitation, Murong Gui gradually calmed down, and his mind became clear.

When he looked at Jiang Chen, his gaze became even more arrogant and presumptuous.

Since Jiang Chen dared to come directly to him and act wild, then he would severely trample on his face.

“Jiang Chen, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”

“As long as you kneel and admit your mistake now, and cripple your cultivation.”

“Crawl out of Cangzhou City like a dog from here, and I can give you a way to live…”

Murong Gui was happily imagining the scene of him severely humiliating Jiang Chen.

But in the next moment, he heard Jiang Chen seemingly mumbling to himself.

“To dare hire assassins to murder an imperial official, execute on the spot!”

As Jiang Chen's words fell, he took a step forward, his figure swiftly charging towards Murong Gui.

Murong Gui was about to continue humiliating Jiang Chen, but he suddenly saw Jiang Chen charging towards him and hastily tried to activate his spiritual power to block him.

But in the next moment, Jiang Chen's figure appeared.

Immediately, he struck out with a palm.

Murong Gui had no time to resist.

Instead, a protective jade pendant on his body was suddenly activated.

After being activated, it transformed into a defensive shield, blocking in front of Murong Gui.

It blocked Jiang Chen's punch.

With a loud bang, Jiang Chen's punch did not shatter the defensive shield.

Murong Gui, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat.

However, when he saw Jiang Chen's attack being blocked, he immediately stabilized his mind and looked at Jiang Chen with extreme provocation.

“Hahahaha.”

“A frog in a well.”

“My shield is enough to withstand the attacks of a Martial King Realm expert.”

“Jiang Chen, if you dare to strike me, you are making an enemy of the Fenglan Sword Sect!”

“You!”

“And your entire family!”

“Even the entire Cangzhou City!”

“Will all suffer the wrath of my Fenglan Sword Sect.”

“The Fenglan Sword Sect cannot be insulted!”

Murong Gui roared arrogantly.

Once this shield was activated, the Fenglan Sword Sect's interior would know that a Saint was under attack in the outside world.

Soon, experts would rush from all over.

As for Jiang Chen, there was only one path he could take.

That was death!

“Oh?”

“Withstand a Martial King, huh?”

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

He immediately raised his fist.

Body Tempering Qi bolstered his body.

Then, he punched towards the defensive shield.

“Boom!”

The defensive shield, capable of withstanding attacks from a Martial King Realm expert, was shattered by Jiang Chen's single punch.

The smile on Murong Gui's face had not yet faded, but it froze there.

His expression became uglier than crying.

“Laugh.”

“Why aren't you laughing anymore?”

Jiang Chen looked at Murong Gui's expression and chuckled softly.

The next moment, he stepped forward.

And punched Murong Gui's body.

Bang!

Murong Gui completely transformed into a cloud of blood mist.

Only the Storage Ring in his hand floated in the air.

Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed the Storage Ring.

At this moment, the Purple-Robed Alchemist's eyes widened.

He watched the scene before him in disbelief.

“Saint… Saint… he…”

“Where is he?”

Clearly, the Purple-Robed Alchemist's mind had not yet processed what happened.

“I'll send you to find him.”

Jiang Chen said, then threw a punch.

Another cloud of blood mist exploded.
