This was the first thought that came to Shen Xingchen and all the other people’s minds . They couldn’t see any other people anywhere around them .

If the incoming Venerable Sovereign didn’t have poor eyesight, it meant Jiang Chen was among this group of people .

Before they could think through this conundrum, the sword ray struck toward them without mercy and far beyond anything they could withstand .

However, at the last moment, they all felt as if they had been moved a short distance . And then the radiance of the sword disappeared as well .

Realizing they were safe, they glanced at one another, perplexed and speechless . Then they all looked at Jiang Chen .

Among all the people in the group, he was the most mysterious one and the one who had disclosed the least information .

Jiang Chen was looking at somewhere not far away in the same direction that the previous attack had come from . Someone was standing there .

He had an upright posture with broad shoulders and a slim waist, and he gave the impression of being a handsome and refined young man .

Even so, his face was incredibly ugly . It looked as if it had been burned by fire or slashed by a sharp blade .

He was wearing a black robe with a hood . His eyes were icy cold .

“Breeze Swordsman Zhang Tian? I haven’t seen you for years and years . You’ve really got more and more handsome . ”

Jiang Chen would never have been able to recognize him only judging by his appearance . However, he could never have forgotten that sword attack .

Hearing Jiang Chen mocking him to his face, Zhang Tian suddenly lost control .

“Wasn’t Jiang Chen the culprit who was responsible for turning him into this ghastly monster?”

Without any hesitation, he took out a sharp sword and charged headlong at Jiang Chen .

“You don’t seem to understand the situation . ” Jiang Chen looked calm and relaxed .

Letting Zhang Tian storm up to him, he sneered at him . “Ever since the moment that you invaded the celestial palace, you should have been focusing on how to avoid being killed by me, instead of how to kill me . ”

Zhang Tian didn’t have any desire to speak to Jiang Chen at all .

His patience had nearly been taxed to the limit ever since he’d found a trace of Jiang Chen . Even having had to endure a half day more before he found him would have almost driven him insane .

Wind Cloud City was crowded with eyes and ears of spies and rumor mongers . He would bring catastrophic consequences down on himself if he attacked Jiang Chen and failed .

Fortunately for him, Jiang Chen had chosen to leave the city in the middle of the night, and this provided him with an opportunity .

Facing the deadly sword attack, Jiang Chen exercised the Great Method of Void and jumped to the other side .

Zhang Tian’s strike missed him again . Curling up his lips into a sneer, he spat and said, “Jiang Chen, if you hide from me again, I will kill one of these people . ”

Hearing this, Shen Xingchen and the others began to realize their current circumstances in a flash .

“It has nothing to do with us . ” Fang Shen shouted bitterly .

“Also, he doesn’t care about our lives anyway . ” Deng Xin felt it was unfair .

Confronting destructive strikes from a Venerable Sovereign, of course, Jiang Chen would hide away if he could . Why would he bother to take anyone else but himself into consideration?

Zhang Tian leered confidently, “You don’t know him . ”

This person who had the deepest vendetta and enmity with Jiang Chen just happened to be the one who understood him the most .

Jiang Chen shrugged and closed off the distance between himself and Zhang Tian .

“Then again, isn’t this only because I took your position as the vice leader? Don’t you think you’ve been holding this grudge for too long?”

Jiang Chen actually found this all quite funny . “You even deliberately follow me around to try to kill me . ”

“Shut up! It was only because of you that my face became so frightful!” Zhang Tian howled .

“If hating me so much could change a person’s appearance into this, how many more hideous people will show up in the world?” Jiang Chen said .

“Ahhh! Why are you always such a loathsome swine!!” Zhang Tian yelled furiously . “You really think no one in the world is able to kill you? I am a Venerable Sovereign! I can crush you with my little finger . ”

“Calm down, calm down . Anger is not good for your skin, although it looks like that ship has sailed and you have no further reason to worry about that now . All right, all right, I will stop talking and let you continue . ”

While he was speaking, Jiang Chen looked almost contemplative . Then, as if he had just thought about something that he had forgotten before, he asked, “Why did your face become like this?”

“Thanks to you!” Zhang Tian said, clenching his teeth .

“Let me guess . Because your role as a traitor was exposed, you had to destroy your handsome looks to conceal your identity and hide from people?”

Zhang Tian’s silence confirmed that Jiang Chen’s speculations were not wrong .

“That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me . You chose the wrong side . How was that my fault?” Jiang Chen looked quite innocent .

“If not for you! If not for you! How could this happen? If you not for you, I would have long ago become a Supreme Venerable,” Zhang Tian said with deep resentment .

Over on the side where they were standing, Shen Xingchen listened to Jiang Chen and Zhang Tian’s conversation and fell into a state of serious thinking .

They had all heard of the Sword King of Breeze .

He was the most infamous traitor in the Alien Battlefield back in the day .

Since he hadn’t been transformed into a Blood Slave, he had been dodging punishment in recent years .

His words couldn’t be false, coming from someone who had personally experienced the battlefield .

It could almost be called an honor to be resented so profoundly by a Venerable Sovereign .

Yang Zong clenched his fists and tried to resist the urge to scream . If it weren’t for Zhang Tian, he would really have loved to cheer in jubilation .

On the contrary, Deng Xin and Fang Shen were feeling very complex emotions . They still couldn’t entirely believe what had happened .

“Didn’t I tell you that in the Devil’s Mountain the last time I saw you? If you hadn’t betrayed us, now that you’re already a Venerable Sovereign, wouldn’t you still have been able to become a Supreme Venerable?” Jiang Chen said .

“Ha, ha, ha, you’re giving me the same speech again . You’ll never be able to understand a true genius’s mind .

“The past three years have confirmed what I expected . Those Sovereign Spirit Reincarnators have become the stabilizing force . People who joined the Sovereign Spirit Reincarnators have come to be the elites . The hierarchy they formed has totally deserted me, the Sword King of Breeze!”

Zhang Tian’s complaint was not entirely without merit . It’s true that he had become a Venerable Sovereign, but he was still miles away from people like Xiao Hongxue .

Jiang Chen hadn’t yet encountered a Venerable Sovereign who was a Sovereign Spirit Reincarnator . But they were probably rather powerful, judging by what he’d heard of other people’s feedback .

“Just shut up,” Jiang Chen suddenly lost his patience and said to Zhang Tian abruptly .

Still venting his grievances and frustrations, Zhang Tian stopped for a moment .

“Even if you have tens of thousands of reasons, you shouldn’t use those as excuses to harm other people . What’s worse is that you have been hurting the entire world . You’re nothing more than scum .

“Having a heart so fragile and delicate, it is your destiny that you will never become the most powerful swordsman .

“Even without the Sovereign Spirit Reincarnators, you will only play a minor role in our era,” Jiang Chen scolded him relentlessly .

With every word he said, the breathing of Shen Xingchen and the others got heavier and heavier .

Every one of them was filled with dread .

Facing a raging Venerable Sovereign, Jiang Chen really hadn’t held back one little bit .

“Ha, ha, ha!” Zhang Tian was so furious that he burst into fits of laughter . His hand holding his forehead, he fell into a hysterical and frantic state .

His most deadly sword strike lashed out in the next moment . The energy of the sword had been forged into an intimidating pressure by the dark place he had been inhabiting .

The brilliant radiance of the sword still manifested the command presence of the Sword King of Breeze from the old times .

Everything seemed fine if one could just overlook his face .

“Wind Gusting Nine Clouds!!”

Executing his most powerful move, Zhang Tian felt all his acrimony and resentment of the last three years were pouring out of him freely .

He didn’t think Jiang Chen had any chance of winning . During the past three years, numerous people had attempted to kill him . Surviving in a desperate lifestyle, his Will of the Sword Doctrine had swelled .

Even Venerable Sovereigns in the same state as he was wouldn’t be able to bear his most forceful blows .

“Is that how much you’ve changed in three years? What a shame . I thought you were going to bring me as much amazement with your sword moves as your face did . ”

Still and all, Jiang Chen’s voice still came from the direction of his sword attack like a nightmare .

Immediately, what happened next left Zhang Tian open-mouthed and his heart almost exploded .
