Chapter 575

Azure Demon was set up, too . After his death, his soul was hiding in a hunting

lodge in the mountains, waiting for an appropriate man to appear so that he

could seize this man’s body .

He didn’t leave there until he met Jiang Chen . By then 1000 years had

passed . Things were still there, but men were not .

The whole Azure Gang was gone . His enemy could have died, too .

Although Azure Demon didn’t show up, Jiang Chen could empathize with him .

For Azure Demon, it was 1000 years, while for him , it was 500 .

He was wondering whether he would have the same feeling when he went

back to the Sacred Zone again . By then the Over Cloud Palace would have

been gone . So would the people he was looking for .

The mere thought of that put him panicked . He looked pale .

As smart as Tang Shiya and Tang Ru’er, they didn’t disturb him .

Don’t know how long had passed, the three felt a chilly wind coming

headlong . And they smelt blood in the air .

They put on guard immediately . Looking around, soon they saw a flock of

birds flying over from not far away . The dense mass of them froze their blood .

“Bloody crows! Sister Shiya, run!” Tang Ru’er shouted .

“Don’t let the bloody crows surround you . “

Tang Shiya told Jiang Chen, looking for a place to hide in .

If they escaped through the air, they could choose any direction and any

altitude .

However, Tang Shiya looked like she was in a pickle . Tang Ru’er was even

more anxious .

Jiang Chen saw there were not only bloody crows ahead, but also in other two

directions . These birds seemed to intend to surround them, as if they knew

tactics .

The only direction free of the bloody crows led to a mountain forest . The

highest mountain there was only hundreds of meters high .

But Tang Shiya hesitated, because there was a dreadful holy-level fierce

beast in that forest .

If they flew over it, the fierce beast would definitely chase them .

“These bloody crows don’t seem very formidable . Let’s break out of the

encirclement,” Jiang Chen proposed .

“There is something you don’t know . These bloody crows are very dreadful .

They suck people’s essence blood . Once you get entangled by them, you’ll

die in one minute . “

Tang Shiya didn’t agree . She said, “We should either fly very high or find a

cave on the ground . “

Jiang Chen didn’t see why . Two of them were Martial Venerables . They

shouldn’t have panicked like this .

And he really didn’t think those bloody crows were strong .

The same size as normal crows, they had black feathers and small red eyes,

which looked ferocious .

The front end of their beaks, which looked like ebony, was extremely sharp .

“No practicers below Spiritual Venerable level can deal with such a great

amount of bloody crows, unless they’re good at the conception of fire . “

Tang Ru’er explained . She knew he was puzzled .

“Well, I’m good at the conception of fire . Let me handle them,” Jiang Chen

said .

“Really?”

“And you must achieve the great doctrine of fire!”

Tang Shiya and Tang Ru’er reacted pretty much the same . They remembered

Jiang Chen hadn’t used any fire in the fight against Xu Guan .

“Don’t worry . “

Jiang Chen raised his right arm high . Palm up, he looked as if he was lifting

something . Soon, a hot wave started to whirl, with his hand as the center, and

started to spread fast .

Although the two sisters didn’t see any flames, they felt it was getting hotter

and hotter .

The thousands of bloody crows were approaching . They kept hearing the

fluttering sound of the crows’ wings and their chirps .

Tang Shiya made up her mind, if Jiang Chen didn’t do anything, she would do

something .

Right at that moment, a small flame rose from Jiang Chen’s palm .

A fire dragon rose in the hot wave . The orange flame was very dense, like a

wall .

It was formidable . As soon as the bloody crows made contact with it, they

disappeared immediately .

The sky full of the dense mass of crows cleared up instantly . The remaining

bloody crows fled away . They were too few to be threatening .

“Fortunately . “

Tang Ru’er patted her plump chest, feeling relieved .

“Thank you . “

Tang Shiya expressed her gratitude . She said, “You might not know how

strong those bloody crows are . Fire is almost the only effective way to get rid

of them . Once surrounded by these bastards, you’ll be killed in only one

minute, just like how ants plod away at an elephant . “

“Do people run into them frequently?” Jiang Chen asked out of curious, not

very interested in what Tang Shiya had told him .

“No . Actually you don’t run into them a lot . And usually you’ll be able to run

away . “

Speaking of this, Tang Shiya felt puzzled, too . She said with hesitation, “I’ve

never heard about the situation like today, that they surrounded people from

three directions . “

At this moment, the three noticed a group of practicers were approaching

them from not far way . There were eight people, all Martial Venerables .

“What happened?”

The leader was a strong man . He had light brown skin and thick brows .

It seemed he had been attracted here by the disturbance of just now . He was

pleasantly surprised when he had seen Tang Shiya .

“Apprentice Sister Shiya, it’s you! What a surprise to see you here,” the man

said excitedly .

“Yeah, Apprentice Brother He . ” Tang Shiya didn’t seem very glad . She was

even a bit cold .

Apprentice Brother He seemed used to that . Still smiling, he laid his eyes on

Jiang Chen . He asked, “This is . . . ?”

“A friend . ” Tang Shiya didn’t tell him more .

“How did you know each other? I didn’t know you had such a friend,”

Apprentice Brother He said .

His response was annoying . Tang Shiya apparently furrowed . She didn’t want

to answer him at all .

“We knew this brother for business matters . We’re traveling together because

the account hasn’t been settled,” Tang Ru’er said unconcernedly . She didn’t

seem to have noticed those details, but a cunning look flashed across her

eyes .

“What a big deal . How much is that? Just tell me,” Apprentice Brother He said

generously .

“About 200 million upper-grade yuan stones,” Tang Shiya said unhappily .

Apprentice Brother He and those with him all turned pale . They were

obviously shocked .

“Apprentice Sister Shiya, what did you buy? Is he a conman?” Apprentice

Brother He threw Jiang Chen a skeptical look, and he didn’t sound he was

afraid of anyone .

“No, it’s not like that . He bought something from me and I don’t have the

change for him,” Tang Shiya said .

“This . . . “

Apprentice Brother He was embarrassed again, but he didn’t blame Tang

Shiya . Instead, he was looking at Jiang Chen in a more and more unkind

manner .

“Apprentice Sister Shiya, this guy doesn’t look like a good person . He looks

rich, but who knows where his money is from,” Apprentice Brother He said in

a sarcastic tone .

“Haha . “

Jiang Chen burst out laughing instead of getting angry .

“What are you laughing at?!” Apprentice Brother He said in anger .

“You tried to be generous, but failed . Then you started to talk aimlessly . And

now you even said such a shameless thing . Do you think you can get a pretty

woman in this way? Aren’t you crying for the moon?”

In Jiang Chen’s eyes, this guy was like a clown .

“You!” Apprentice Brother He didn’t expect him to have the nerve to refute .

Didn’t he see so many people were standing behind him?

“Apprentice Brother He, we’re leaving if everything is fine here . ” Tang Shiya

didn’t want to lose face in Jiang Chen’s presence .

“Apprentice sister, I’m thinking for your sake . I don’t want this Adonis to cheat

you . He doesn’t look like a good man,” Apprentice Brother He said nervously .

“What does a good man do? To send the bloody crows to attack and then

pretend to be the hero?”
