Chapter 104: Thank You for Your Betrayal

It was a fiery horse with black fur, tall and majestic . The general on the horse was in golden armor . The spear in his hand was powerful enough to destroy the entire world .

Elder Tree was still waiting for the treasure to recognize him as its master . Not until the spear fell did he realize there was something wrong, since he didn't understand what the general had said .

"This is bad!"

He knew the situation was critical, no matter how oblivious he was, so he stepped back in a hurry .

However, the spear, which seemed able to even pierce into space, was thrown down with a tremendous rainbow radiance .

Elder Tree had nowhere to escape to . Sensing the emergency, he called the flying sword to protect him from the spear .

Pah!

The flying sword hit the spear's tip and smashed into pieces immediately . Elder Tree flew back and crashed to the ground four or five yards away . The impact made a big hole in the ground .

"Young master, run…"

The flying sword had saved Elder Tree, but he had lost his confidence when facing the general's great power . He didn't dare continue the fight .

However, as soon as he stood up, he saw Jiang Chen standing nearby .

"How dare you…" Elder Tree was about to ask how this guy dared to show up before him when he saw Jiang Chen was holding a lamp .

Whoosh!

The crystal lotus burst into bloom . A brilliant light was emitted from it .

In a second, a fiery dragon dashed towards Elder Tree .

"Ah, ah, ah!" Elder Tree screamed . This wasn't average fire . It felt like a mix of water and hot oil with an astoundingly high temperature .

Elder Tree's robe vanished instantly . The armor next to his skin melted into his flesh . He almost broke down because of the pain .

At the last gasp, he exerted all of his strength to squeeze himself so that the fire could be extinguished .

But to his surprise, the fire burned even stronger when his strength made contact with it .

"What the hell is this?!" Elder Tree shouted and tumbled about on the ground . He kept burning until he finally turned into a corpse .

"Arag Tamale!"

Then Jiang Chen read a spell to the general on horseback .

The spell meant the evil had been demolished and the imperial mausoleum had regained its peace .

"For ever and ever, neither destroyed nor perished!"

After the shout, the general and the horse petrified together in the middle of charging .

Jiang Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead . All this had happened in only a short while, but it had been so thrilling .

"He… he killed a guy in the Mental Wander State?"

Everyone in the Guardian Palace was dumbfounded . It was such a quick turn of events that they didn't know how to react to it .

Then Fang Ping and others shouted delightfully .

By comparison, Chu Luo and the other female disciples of the Isle of Sky turned pale .

Chu Luo was even shaking, as if she were freezing . She knew she had made a fatal mistake . She felt desperate, ut none of them were as scared as Gao Chenyi .

As soon as Elder Tree had died, he turned back into the weak man he was .

It seemed to Jiang Chen that he had been given a good scare . Once again, he put his sword to Meng Hao's throat and shouted, "Don't act recklessly . Otherwise—ah!"

He screamed before he could finish the sentence . The arm holding the sword had been cut off his shoulder .

Dorchid suddenly appeared behind him with a strong killing intent . Her eyes were cold .

"Give my brother back to me!"

Regardless of Gao Chenyi's screams, she kept piercing him with her sword in noncritical body parts, so that he wouldn't die too quickly .

When Gao Chenyi was not far away from death, she pointed the tip of her sword at his heart .

"I'll inform the whole world of what you've done here after getting out . You'll be the shame of the Gaos and cursed for ever and ever!"

Dorchid knew what this guy feared most . What she had said was enough for Gao Chenyi to die with a grievance .

As expected, Gao Chenyi looked reluctant to die . He opened his mouth, intending to say something, but only spit out blood . His chest was heaving up and down dramatically .

Thump!

Dorchid's sword pierced through his heart .

Gao Chenyi's body became stiff and then floppy .

He died, just like Elder Tree .

Meng Hao and Wen Xin had been rescued . The two couldn't believe what had happened, as if they were in a dream .

Jiang Chen had defeated Li Qin and Elder An at the Redcloud Peak, which was shocking enough, but it was thanks to the power of his tactical formation .

This time, in the underground imperial mausoleum, Jiang Chen had killed a Mental Wander State who used a flying sword . If this became known to the world, there would be a great disturbance .

Dorchid, who had gotten her revenge, went up to Jiang Chen and looked into his eyes . She said, "The Grand Qi State owes you a favor . Whatever you request in the future, our royal family will try its best to fulfill it . "

Then she walked out of the Guardian Palace, taking the same route back .

Jiang Chen knew she didn't want Deagle's body lying there like a wild dog . She was going to bury him .

Meng Hao and Wen Xin went up to him and told him how they had been caught by Gao Chenyi . At the same time, they appreciated his help . Without him, they would have been killed .

"What you did was really risky . " Wen Xin recalled what had happened and still felt frightened . If anything had gone wrong, it would have been a different ending .

Fang Ping was shocked by what Jiang Chen had anticipated . He also felt fearful when recalling all these things .

If Chu Luo hadn't betrayed them, none of these things would have happened .

"I was sure she would betray me, as simple as that . She didn't have any reason not to betray me," Jiang Chen said .

He wasn't a friend of hers . Under such circumstances, it would have been strange if Chu Luo hadn't sought refuge with Gao Chenyi .

Chu Luo looked over to him when she heard what he had said .

She wasn't angry at all when she learned Jiang Chen had schemed against her . Instead, she felt sad and dreary .

Suddenly, a few female disciples behind her went up to Jiang Chen .

Meng Hao and Wen Xin took one step forward and stopped them .

"Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen, it was apprentice sister's idea . We were only blindly following her . Please forgive us and lead us out," the disciple who had cried said .

"Yes . We were also surprised by what Apprentice Sister Chu Luo did . "

"Please, please take us out . "

Chu Luo gave a self-mocking smile when she heard her apprentice sisters abandoning her . They had been so obedient to her . Her eyes were dimmed by tears .

Judging from what Jiang Chen had done, he must have learned a lot from that book . The exit must be real, and he was the only one who could find it .

Jiang Chen had agreed to let her follow him . She had obtained the chance to leave, but in the end, she ruined it for herself .

"You! You are ridiculous . If it were not for me, would Jiang Chen have succeeded?" Chu Luo shouted . She had lost self-control .

"Really? Thank you for your betrayal then!" Jiang Chen sneered .

"You schemed against me . You lied to me that the shield could resist the flying sword! Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it!" Chu Luo was almost snarling .

"Dorchid also heard it . So did he . "

Jiang Chen slapped Fang Ping's shoulder and said, "I learned this guy's name less than an hour ago . He didn't betray me . "

"Because you saved me," Fang Ping answered without thinking .

"I saved her twice," Jiang Chen said .

When Chu Luo heard their conversation, the hideous expression on her face instantly disappeared . The light in her eyes died out . She knelt down with hands on her head, and began to shriek .
