The entire training ground was covered in blood, and the pungent smell of blood made people frown. This place had turned into a living hell, and the remaining two hundred men from the Martial Saint Dynasty were so scared that their faces had turned deathly pale.
They didn't even dare breathe. Jiang Chen was too frightening, and in their eyes, he had turned into a devil.
Soon, all the men from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect were executed. Next, it was the men from the Martial Saint Dynasty's turn.
Jiang Chen didn't look at them, he turned to the men from the Black Sect and asked, "Are they here?"
"Senior disciple Jiang, they just arrived yesterday, and they didn't bully us."
A disciple from the Black Sect said. Upon hearing this, the men from the Martial Saint Dynasty couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It looked like they had a chance to keep their lives. At least, they would have a better ending than the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect.
"Very good. I've said it before, kill all those who deserve to die. In fact, all of you deserve to die as well. If I fell into the hands of the Martial Saint Dynasty today, I'm sure all of you know what would happen to me. Once I die, you'll attack my family and friends mercilessly. Am I right?"
Jiang Chen glanced at all the men with an interested expression.
When they looked into Jiang Chen's eyes, all of them felt like they were suffocating. However, what Jiang Chen said was right. If the ending was reversed, and instead of them falling into the hands of Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would be captured by them, Jiang Chen would have a miserable ending. Once something bad happened to Jiang Chen, the Imperial Decree of exterminating all his family and friends would be carried out immediately, and everyone in the Black Sect would die a miserable death. Therefore, none of them dared to refute Jiang Chen's words. Jiang Chen was a smart man, and he could see everything clearly, so it was useless to refute him.
In front of such a person, your life was completely at his command. Everything depended on whether Jiang Chen was happy or not. Begging for mercy or threatening him were all useless.
"But like I said before, as long as your hands aren't stained with the blood of the Black Sect's disciples, you won't have to die. But, you can still be punished. I'll give you two choices now, the first choice, cut off your arms and leave this place. The second choice, I'll cripple your cultivation and spare your lives."
Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, although the faces of these people from the Martial Saint Dynasty were drenched in cold sweat, many of their eyes were filled with joy. That's right, such a punishment was indeed a pleasant surprise. They thought they were dead for sure. Although losing two arms was a severe punishment, it was still better than losing their lives.
"I lost my arm."
Without hesitation, a Combat Soul warrior took out a sharp longsword and chopped off his left arm. After that, he threw the longsword away and chopped off his right arm.
Since someone had made his move, the others didn't waste any time either. They all took out their own weapons and chopped off their own arms. The entire scene was filled with blood and violence, but the people of the Black Sect were excited.
Chopping off their own arms, no ordinary man would have the courage to do so. However, none of these people dared hesitate. They weren't familiar with Jiang Chen, but after today's battle, they had completely understood what kind of man Jiang Chen was. He was a cruel and merciless man who would never go back on his words. They could imagine that if they were a little bit slower, Jiang Chen would have killed them.
Although Jiang Chen had given them two choices, everyone chose the first one. For powerful warriors, even an idiot would know which one to choose between losing one's arm and crippling one's cultivation.
Losing one's arm would have a great impact on one's future cultivation. It could even cause one's cultivation to stagnate, unable to advance any further. However, there were miraculous pills that could regrow one's arm. Even if one couldn't find them, with one's current cultivation base, one could still live well without both arms. However, if one's cultivation base was crippled, it would be no different from death for a powerful cultivator.
The life of a cripple was something they couldn't imagine. Therefore, they had decided to cut off their arms.
"Let's go, get the hell out of the Black Sect."
Jiang Chen casually waved his hand.
None of the two hundred men dared hesitate. They immediately turned around and left. To them, this place was like hell, and they didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.
"Wait."
Jiang Chen suddenly said. Those who had already left the training ground immediately halted their steps. Each and every one of them were terrified, as they had no idea what this malefic was going to do. Could it be that he had suddenly changed his mind? Since all of them had lost their arms, if he continued to kill them, wouldn't he be bullying them?
"With your current condition, it's better if you don't return to the Martial Saint Dynasty. All the emperors are dead, and even the Crown Prince is gone. If you go back without your arms, the Imperial Emperor will be furious, and he will definitely kill you. Besides, you're useless to the Martial Saint Dynasty now, so I suggest you leave and find a place to live a normal life."
Jiang Chen said.
His words had reminded these men of something. Many of them were startled at first, but soon after, they looked at Jiang Chen with grateful expressions. Jiang Chen was right, they had followed the Third Emperor and the Crown Prince to the war, and now, the Third Emperor and the Crown Prince were dead, but they were going back like this. It would be strange if the Imperial Emperor didn't kill them.
Even the emperors were dead, so why didn't they die?
Besides, with their current condition, they were useless to the Martial Saint Dynasty. If they went back, they would definitely be killed. Therefore, it was better for them to listen to Jiang Chen, leave and hide their identities. That way, they could still survive.
After all the men from the Martial Saint Dynasty left, the Black Sect was greeted with a loud cheer. All the disciples were shouting and cheering. Today's battle had swept away all the gloominess they had, and all the grievances they had felt were gone. When they looked at Jiang Chen, their eyes were filled with respect. It was because of this young man that they had been given a new life.
"Jiang Chen, the God of War!"
"Jiang Chen, the God of War!"
"Jiang Chen, the God of War!"
… …
Thousands of disciples of the Black Sect surrounded the huge training ground and roared. The roars of thousands of people circulating their Yuan energy could definitely shake the heavens and the earth. The atmosphere of the Black Sect was unparalleled, and even Daoist Black and Guo Shan had joined in the cheering. Although Daoist Black was the Black Sect's Sect Chief, ever since Jiang Chen defeated the Northern and Southern Dynasties and conquered the Qi Province, the Black Sect's true Sect Chief was Jiang Chen. Therefore, the threat Jiang Chen posed to the Black Sect was much higher than Daoist Black.
This could be seen from the statue of Jiang Chen that was erected in the center of the Black Sect. Daoist Black knew this very well, and in his mind, Jiang Chen was the Black Sect's savior. This was the second time he had saved the Black Sect.
Jiang Chen waved his hand and the screams came to an abrupt end.
"Fellow disciples, I, Jiang Chen, have returned, and I won't let anything bad happen to the Black Sect. From now on, the Black Sect will return to the right track. Everyone, go back to cultivating."
After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his hand and unleashed a sea of fire onto the training field. The corpses and severed limbs on the ground were burned into nothingness in the blink of an eye, not even a speck of ash was left behind. With a strong gust of wind, the training field became clean again, as if nothing had ever happened.
"What a powerful flame!"
Guo Shan's eyes lit up. As an alchemist, he had some knowledge about flames, but he had never heard of such a terrifying flame like Jiang Chen's. After the True Dragon Flame had merged with the Heavenly Thunder Flame, Jiang Chen's flame had reached a new level. Not to mention these dead bodies, even the hardest rock would be burned into ashes in an instant.
"Jiang Chen, father will never forgive you for what you've done!"
The Crown Prince who stood next to Jiang Chen said while gnashing his teeth in anger.
"It's still too early to say who will forgive who. Also, you damn eunuch, from now on, don't say another word. If you say another word, I'll cut off your tongue."
Jiang Chen glared at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince gnashed his teeth in anger, but he dared not say another word. He didn't think Jiang Chen was joking with him.
… …
On the same night, within the Black Sect, Han Yan, Da Huang Dog and the others had returned one after another. When they heard about Jiang Chen's achievements, they were extremely excited.
"Little Chenzi, you're too fierce! I think those Imperial Emperors are going to be pissed now!"
Yu Zihan said.
"This is too fierce! He's simply inhuman! All six emperors of the Martial Saint Dynasty are dead! Such a great loss has never happened in the history of the Martial Saint Dynasty! But, this battle is really exciting!" "That's right.
Yu Zihan burst into laughter. His admiration for Jiang Chen had increased to another level.
"How are things on your side?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Don't worry, as long as I, Da Huang, am involved, nothing will go wrong. Up until now, all the hostages are safe. However, Lord Jiu, your father, and Yan Zhanyun are still in the Martial Saint Dynasty."
Da Huang Dog said.
"Hmph! I'll settle this score with the Imperial Emperor! If anything happens to my father, I'll make the Martial Saint Dynasty fall! "
Jiang Chen coldly harrumphed. Two cold beams flickered within his eyes; it was a frightening scene. By imprisoning Jiang Zhenhai, the Imperial Emperor had crossed Jiang Chen's bottom line.
"Little Chenzi, the Martial Saint Dynasty is still a very powerful dynasty. You've killed so many of their men today, I'm sure the Imperial Emperor is going to be furious. If he sends his army to our border, how are we going to defend ourselves?"
Han Yan said with a frown on his face.
"The war with the Martial Saint Dynasty is unavoidable. Tomorrow, I'll head to the Martial Saint Dynasty with the Crown Prince and the heads of those emperors. I'll rescue my father, father-in-law, and brother Jiu."
Jiang Chen said. The reason why he kept the Crown Prince alive was to save them. If not, because of what he had done, the Imperial Emperor would never let Jiang Zhenhai and Yan Zhanyun go.
"However, Little Chenzi, although you've broken through to the Mid Combat Soul realm, and you're considered invincible among all Combat Soul warriors, the Imperial Emperor is still a Combat King warrior. If you fight him, do you have the confidence to win?"
