Chapter 55: The Dark Side

Jiang Chen was only in the peak of the preliminary stage . Of course Shen Huan wouldn't believe that he had killed Zhang Shichao, who was on the Eternal Flame List .

"Watch out . He's mastered the sword point," Su Qian suddenly said .

Both Shen Huan and Jiang Chen looked a bit uncomfortable .

"You know him?" Shen Huan didn't rush to attack, but turned around to ask Su Qian .

She nodded and didn't say more .

"She is my ex-fiancée, but I broke up with her . I don't think you have very good taste," Jiang Chen said .

Both Shen Huan and Su Qian's expressions darkened, especially the latter . The certificate of divorce was shameful to her .

Shen Huan, as a man, certainly couldn't stand what Jiang Chen had said .

"You'll die a bitter death," Shen Huan said coldly .

"I'm so frightened," Jiang Chen smiled .

Shen Huan flew into a rage, but then he recalled Jiang Chen had been grinning cheekily even while facing Zhang Shichao, so he thought it normal for Jiang Chen to behave like this .

In his opinion, Jiang Chen was a retarded .

Like Zhang Shichao, he wanted to see what Jiang Chen's expression when he was facing death .

At the thought of this, Shen Huan licked his lips with excitement .

"The Windcease Sword – a strike in a ksana!"

Shen Huan attacked . His sword was treasured, emitting icy cold radiances . With his skilled sword methods, the sword was giving off a shining, silver light .

When the light suddenly appeared in the dark night, people couldn't even open their eyes .

"I was stunned by the name of your sword method, but it's so underwhelming," Jiang Chen said coldly .

The sword movement intended to defeat the enemy rapidly with the unexpected use of lights .

It had a really good effect at night, but to Jiang Chen, it was silly and childish .

He threw the Redcloud Sword out . Then with a scream, the sword ray disappeared . Shen Huan fell down and lost control of his treasured sword . The sword became stuck in a tree trunk .

"How? How is that possible?!"

Shen Huan's right hand was bleeding . His clothes were tattered . Paired with a look of pain, he was in disbelief .

"I told you . I killed Zhang Shichao . Who do you think you are?!"

Jiang Chen came up and suddenly looked over to Su Qian . He grinned at her, "Thanks a lot . Looks like you just can't forget about me . Thanks to you I won easily . "

Su Qian was still shocked by the defeat of Shen Huan . She didn't understand what he meant .

"The spirit of the sword?! You've mastered the spirit of the sword? Damn . Why did you tell me it was sword point?"

Shen Huan realized something and looked at Su Qian with hatred . "No…"

Su Qian was shocked . She knew Jiang Chen wanted to make fun of her . She was about to explain, but suddenly an idea occurred to her . She walked up to Jiang Chen and said gently, "Because I care for you . "

"Ha . "

Jiang Chen burst into laughter . He circled her waist with his arm and pulled her into his arms . "You—you!"

Shen Huan raised his bleeding right hand . His lips were trembling . He tried to say something, but in the end said nothing .

"Kill him," Su Qian said .

"You do it," Jiang Chen picked Shen Huan's sword up and handed it to Su Qian .

Su Qian gnashed her teeth and thrust the sword forward without any hesitation .

However, when the tip of the sword was about to pierce into Shen Huan's chest, Su Qian's wrist was grasped and she couldn't keep thrusting the sword .

"What happened?" Su Qian looked over confusedly .

Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and helped Shen Huan stand up . He pressed on some parts of the latter's back .

"Kill me! Wait, what are you doing…"

Shen Huan found he was recovering rapidly .

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?" Su Qian sensed the situation was unfavorable for her . Her heart sank down . She wanted to run away immediately .

"Nothing . I'm jealous to see you two have made a good couple . Since you chose him, I don't want you anymore . "

Jiang Chen gave the sword back to Shen Huan and said, "You have no way to kill me, but I'll give you a chance to take your revenge . "

"Fine!"

Shen Huan stood up and walked towards Su Qian with a disappointed, yet fierce look .

"Brother Shen, listen to me . I was forced to do that . I didn't really intend to kill you," Su Qian hurried to explain .

"Do you think I believe you?" Shen Huan grinned grotesquely .

He dashed toward her rapidly, but pushed her away when he was close to her and shouted at her, "Run!"

Then he turned to Jiang Chen immediately and made an all-out attack .

"Idiot . "

Jiang Chen brandished the Redcloud Sword . In a flash of the sword's ray, Shen Huan was frozen . He covered his throat with his hands, but blood didn't stop flowing through his fingers .

"You really believed her . "

Jiang Chen watched Su Qian leave and shrugged his shoulders, feeling a bit bored .

He had intended to see those two kill each other .

It wasn't because he was cruel, but because Su Qian's behaviors really made him want to teach her a lesson .

He wanted Su Qian to understand she couldn't conquer all the men in the world .

Besides, this woman was evil . Jiang Chen only wanted to tease her at the beginning, but she took the chance to say he concealed his swordsmanship level intentionally .

Does she think I am as foolish as Shen Huan? Jiang Chen shook his head . If he wasn't being chased, he would definitely hunt down and kill Su Qian .

I should have killed them directly and not made fun of them . Did that woman evoke the dark side in me?

Jiang Chen wasn't a guy who didn't care about others' lives, but he was no saint either . If he made up his mind to kill someone, he would kill them with no hesitation .

But what he had done had, in some ways, violated his principle .

"Do I hate all women because of Xiao Nuo?" Jiang Chen thought to himself .

At the same time, Su Qian was finally relieved when she made sure Jiang Chen wasn't after her .

He didn't believe me at all . Su Qian's eyes were filled with hatred at the thought of this .

Suddenly, she heard several sounds, and the sounds were all emitted at the same time .

Whatever they were, Su Qian realized she had been surrounded .

In an instant, many people appeared around her with torches in their hands . Judging from the position of the flame, everyone was mounted on some type of animal .

"It's not Jiang Chen," one of them said .

"Damn . Where is he?!" another guy cursed immediately .

Su Qian recognized Ning Ping's voice, since he had announced he would reward anyone who killed Jiang Chen .

Su Qian hurried to ask before they left, "Wait, are you chasing Jiang Chen?"

"Oh? Do you know where he is?"

Ning Ping turned around and sized her up .

"Yes . I'll tell you, as long as you guarantee my safety," Su Qian said .

"No problem," Ning Ping agreed without any hesitation .

"He's further ahead . He just killed my companion because my companion heard what you said…" Su Qian wasn't sure whether she should continue or not .

"Your companion was useless . Don't waste any time . Take me there!"

Ning Ping lifted her onto his mount without asking her . He made Su Qian his guide .

"Oh? You're pretty," Ning Ping didn't see Su Qian's face until then . A smile pulled up the corner of his mouth .
