255: Zhao Family

It was obvious that someone like Zhao Zixuan was a flower grown in a greenhouse, pampered within a great Family.

He basically only fought in arenas or sparring matches.

He had never engaged in a life-or-death battle with anyone.

When everyone else was fighting for their lives, he actually expected Jiang Chen to wait for him to get ready so they could exchange moves. This was truly ridiculous.

Zhao Zixuan's strength was only suitable for competing in arenas or, in some remote area, relying on his Family's power to strike from a position of absolute safety to defeat his enemies.

In a real life-or-death struggle, it would all be over in an instant.

Of course, this did not mean that all Disciples of great Families were just for show.

Some Families that leaned towards practical combat had different ways of cultivating their Disciples.

The life-and-death situations they experienced were even more brutal than those of ordinary people.

Such people had a different aura; when they made a move, they didn't like to talk much nonsense, and most of the time, they wouldn't keep their so-called rankings on their lips.

But that was definitely not the case for Zhao Zixuan before him.

Jiang Chen did not give his opponent any chance to repent or start over. When he struck, he directly increased his power and blew him to pieces.

The resulting mist of blood directly covered the three members of the Wuzui Sect.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen took the opponent's Storage Ring.

"Ding... enemy killing value + 1"

"Ding... cultivation points + 100000"

One hundred thousand cultivation points!

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold.

One hundred thousand cultivation points meant that this Zhao Zixuan before him was actually practicing demon techniques!

That was why it gave him the same thing as a demon: cultivation points.

In the System's judgment, Zhao Zixuan was a demon.

It seemed this so-called Zhao Family must have been up to quite a few evil deeds.

That made sense.

Even the Wuzui Sect was created by this Zhao Family.

Perhaps in other places, there were even more powerful forces similar to the Wuzui Sect.

If it weren't for demon techniques, these people wouldn't be so anxious to release this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave.

When Zhao Zixuan's body exploded.

Jiang Chen did not stay where he was, but instead swiftly charged towards the other three members of the Wuzui Sect.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen's figure flew past rapidly.

It was only when Jiang Chen had already struck that the three of them reacted.

They gasped sharply.

By the time Jiang Chen had closed in, it was already impossible for them to escape.

Jiang Chen swung his fist, slamming it violently towards the person in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bodies of the three Heavenly Martial Realm experts from the Wuzui Sect were all blown apart by Jiang Chen one after another.

Their three Storage Rings all landed in his hand.

When Jiang Chen returned to the flying boat.

Ye Zishan and the others suddenly snapped back to reality.

The scene just now was like a dream.

This scene was truly too shocking.

Yang Ding and the others could be considered to have truly realized for the first time just how powerful and terrifying Jiang Chen's strength was.

Not Heavenly Martial Realm Peak.

But Martial King Realm!

Such a young Martial King Realm expert!

Zhang Xian's gaze was even dazed.

What had just happened a moment ago?

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking that experts like Zhao Zixuan were rare to find in the entire Lingcang Domain.

His heart had felt a little better.

But in the very next instant.

Zhao Zixuan was blown apart by Jiang Chen!?

He also knew Jiang Chen was very strong.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to destroy two Heaven-Grade Demon Caves in succession.

But Jiang Chen had never displayed such powerful combat strength in front of them.

Now that they had witnessed it.

It was truly too shocking.

They had never imagined that Jiang Chen's combat strength had reached such a terrifying level.

After all, they had not seen Jiang Chen's performance in the Demon Cave with their own eyes.

Even when the Fenglan Sword Sect was destroyed.

Ye Zishan and the others did not see it either; they only saw the aftermath.

And at that time, the Fenglan Sword Sect's mountain gate had no survivors left in the entire Sect, so there was no way to verify it.

Now that they saw Jiang Chen take action, everyone finally understood clearly.

It was simply a gap that belonged to a different tier.

Jiang Chen leaped, his figure charging into the opponent's flying boat, and took control of the core Formation inside.

At the same time, he erased the mark belonging to Zhao Zixuan within the flying boat's core Formation.

With a thought, this Grade 7 flying boat turned into the size of a model and landed in Jiang Chen's hand.

"Lord Lu, this is what I captured. I will hand it over to you."

Jiang Chen said to Lu Qian.

When there were outsiders present, Jiang Chen addressed Lu Qian by her title and was not overly intimate, as Lu Qian would need to manage her subordinates in the future, especially since those present were high-level officials.

As for their private relationship, it was enough for everyone to know it in their hearts.

This was a Grade 7 flying Magic Treasure.

Since Jiang Chen handed it directly to Lu Qian like this, the implication was clear.

This item was for Lu Qian. Whoever dared to covet it would be an enemy of Jiang Chen. If anyone dared to snatch this, they would need to carefully consider whether they were a match for Jiang Chen.

"Good."

Lu Qian was secretly happy in her heart, feeling the doting affection from Jiang Chen, but on the surface, she still feigned calmness as she took the item.

Afterward, she turned the flying boat around and continued to speed towards the third Heaven-Grade Demon Cave.

The flying boat rapidly soared into the sky.

Yang Ding and the others quickly reported the events that had just occurred.

Ye Zishan and the others' mission was originally to patrol that Heaven-Grade Demon Cave and gather intelligence.

But since the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave was gone, there was nothing left to gather intelligence on.

"Since the Wuzui Sect is backed by the Zhao Family."

"Then this Formation expert is very likely from the Zhao Family."

"The force behind the Wuzui Sect is also more powerful than we imagined."

"At this very moment, they will definitely defend it to the death, using all their power to release that Heaven-Grade Demon Cave."

Zong Yuan analyzed.

The others nodded.

This place should also be the site of the decisive battle.

Yang Ding quickly sent out the message, instructing the remaining experts to rush to the location of the third Heaven-Grade Demon Cave, and even to be prepared for this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave to erupt at any moment.

"Fortunately, the location of this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave is in an ancient mountain range that is sparsely populated, and it has mountain Peaks as natural barriers. To break into the Human Race's territory, one must first pass through a precarious pass. We only need to send heavy troops to guard this pass, and even if the Demon Cave erupts, we can effectively contain it."

Yang Ding spread out a map and pointed to a precarious location.

Finally, everyone discussed it for a while.

Ye Zishan led people to the royal city to report the situation.

Yang Ding and Zong Yuan stayed behind to guard this pass, while also mobilizing more personnel to come.

To establish a defensive line as soon as possible.

And Zhang Xian and Lu Qian went with Jiang Chen to the location of the Demon Cave.

Lu Qian nodded in agreement.

However, when the flying boat arrived above that ancient mountain range.

They clearly sensed that a fierce battle seemed to be erupting ahead.

"That is..."

"Your Majesty's Vermilion Bird Imperial Guard!?"
