Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 432: Chapter 218: Shock, Jealousy, and Hatred

’When the Earth Defect Old Monster goes to Moshan County, he definitely won’t pass up the chance to capture Chen Cheng and use him to cultivate Black Lotus for his alchemy.

Chen Cheng is just an insignificant nobody, so if he gets captured for alchemy, so be it.

But the two sisters from the Shen Family, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, are peerlessly beautiful.

Even in all of Su State City, it would be hard to find such heavenly, peerless beauties. For them to be captured by the Earth Defect Old Monster for his alchemy is truly a terrible waste!’

Jiang Lang was undoubtedly getting carried away by his own pride, but Jiang Bohai didn’t refute him, because he agreed with what Jiang Lang said.

Jiang Bohai said nonchalantly,

"The Shen sisters are peerlessly beautiful and possess outstanding Martial Arts Talent. They are truly extraordinary. If you were to marry them, with your combined talents, any children you have would naturally possess one-in-a-million Martial Arts Talent.

But our Jiang Family has already shown them more than enough sincerity, and the Shen Family didn’t cherish it.

If anyone’s to blame, it’s the Shen Family for not knowing their place!

If the peerless Shen sisters meet a tragic end, it can’t be helped."

Mao Yong also agreed with Jiang Bohai and Jiang Lang’s point of view, saying,

"That Right Guardian, the Earth Defect Old Monster Bian Qi, is even older than Hou Xinghuai. He reached the end of his lifespan long ago.

He has always been eccentric and violent, acting without any scruples. Now that his life is nearly over, once he makes a move, he’ll be fighting with the desperation of a dying man.

Even if Patriarch Shen Mingyuan of the Shen Family joins forces with Vice Director Xue Huai’an of the Demon Suppression Department, they still might not be able to protect the peerless Shen sisters.

Sigh... What a pity!"

As Mao Yong spoke, he heaved another long sigh.

But this long sigh wasn’t for the peerless Shen sisters. It was for Chen Cheng, whom he had been deliberately avoiding mentioning.

At Evil Tiger Ridge, Chen Cheng had displayed a Martial Arts Power far beyond that of an ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm. His Martial Arts Talent was astonishingly brilliant.

This had left everyone utterly shocked—everyone except Mao Yong.

When he had first seen Chen Cheng at the Zheng Martial Arts Hall, Mao Yong had a gut feeling that Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Talent was on a whole other level—monstrously so.

Even Jiang Lang, known as the number one martial artist of Linji City’s younger generation, was far from his equal.

Chen Cheng’s display of power had undoubtedly proven Mao Yong’s suspicions correct.

But because he had revealed his strength, Chen Cheng had brought disaster upon himself. With the Earth Defect Old Monster making a move this time, he would likely be unable to escape this calamity.

Lost in their own thoughts, the three of them fell silent and returned to town without another word.

Upon arriving in town, a scout from the Jiang Family brought another piece of extremely shocking news.

"What? Chen Cheng single-handedly killed the Tier Three Demon Beast, the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon?"

Jiang Lang exclaimed in the assembly hall, his voice filled with disbelief.

"See for yourself!" Jiang Bohai said with a complicated expression, handing him the scout’s written report.

Jiang Lang took the document and, after reading it carefully, stood frozen in place, utterly speechless.

He didn’t even notice when an equally anxious Mao Yong took the report from his hands.

Before, when Chen Cheng had single-handedly captured and killed the Tier Two Tiger Demon, Jiang Lang had been shocked but was still able to remain calm.

Because while Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Talent was outstanding, his own wasn’t bad either! It was practically impossible for Chen Cheng to ever catch up to his level of Martial Arts Power.

Jiang Lang naturally held a subconscious contempt for anyone whose Martial Arts Power was inferior to his own.

But this time, by single-handedly slaying a Tier Three Demon Beast, Chen Cheng had revealed a Martial Arts Power that far surpassed an ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forger Realm.

It was no less than Jiang Lang’s—in fact, it might even be greater!

After all, according to the report’s description, Chen Cheng’s killing of the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon had seemed effortless, as easy as taking something from his own pocket.

Jiang Lang believed that he too could kill the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon alone, but it would be nowhere near that easy.

If someone had told him Shen Qingyao or Shen Qingshuang possessed this level of Martial Arts Power, Jiang Lang might have believed it.

As sisters from a great family like the Shen Family, it was plausible they might be hiding their true strength.

But Chen Cheng was just a disciple from a Humble Family. On what grounds?

After reading the report, Mao Yong was also dumbfounded, and the hand holding the document trembled slightly.

An unknown amount of time passed before Jiang Lang suddenly asked, "Grand-uncle, this news... it couldn’t be fake, could it?"

Jiang Bohai murmured, "I wish it were fake, too. But when has our Jiang Family’s intelligence ever been wrong?

Besides, this report isn’t exactly top secret.

Not only does our Jiang Family have a copy, but it must also be submitted to the Demon Suppression Department. How could it possibly be wrong?"

"Heh!" Suddenly crestfallen, Jiang Lang let out a hollow laugh.

Then, as if he’d gone mad, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Good! That’s just great!"

"What’s so great about it?" Jiang Bohai asked, puzzled.

A gleam of malicious glee flashed in Jiang Lang’s eyes. "The Black Lotus Sect’s Right Guardian, the Earth Defect Old Monster, is going to Moshan County. It’s a good thing he’s going!"

’Sigh... this foolish boy has lost his mind!’

Jiang Bohai sighed internally, then rose and walked out of the hall.

"Let’s go! We’re returning to Linji City!"

At this point, the only thing to do was hurry back to Linji City and have Jiang Lang enter seclusion for Cultivation, so he could break through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the hope of the Jiang Family, the number one martial artist of Linji City’s younger generation, might very well lose his mind to jealousy.

...

「Xinyi County.」

In a secluded courtyard within the County Yamen.

Wang Xiongying clenched the secret letter in his hand, grinding his teeth as he spoke,

"I never expected this. I still gravely underestimated Chen Cheng!

A nineteen-year-old from a Humble Family has actually grown this powerful, able to single-handedly slay the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon.

Such Martial Arts Talent is simply monstrous! I fear even the True Inheritors from the Major Sects in the State City are only on this level!

He is truly worthy of being Zheng Hun’s closed-door disciple—as astonishingly brilliant as his master, and just as terrifying!

Hahaha! What a pity, what a pity! No matter how brilliant you are, you won’t be able to escape your doom this time!"

"Brother, what’s wrong?"

In the courtyard, Wang Xiongba, who was practicing his Martial Dao by swinging a long saber, sensed that something was wrong with his brother. He stopped his Cultivation and asked in confusion.

This Wang Xiongba possessed Innate Copper Skin and Iron Bone, making him a natural for cultivating the Martial Dao.

However, he was mentally simple. He had been bullied frequently by his other brothers as a child, leaving him with a deep sense of insecurity.

It was his eldest brother, Wang Xiongying, who had guided him onto the path of Martial Arts Cultivation.

Because of this, every time he cultivated the Martial Dao, he needed Wang Xiongying to watch from the side so he could fully immerse himself in his training.

And Wang Xiongying was more than happy to watch his simple-minded younger brother, Wang Xiongba, cultivate the Martial Dao.

In the Wang Family, Wang Xiongba listened only to Wang Xiongying.

Whatever Wang Xiongying said, Wang Xiongba would obey, even if it meant going to his death without a second thought.

Although Wang Xiongba was simple-minded, his Martial Arts Talent was outstanding, and his strength was the greatest among the younger generation of Martial Artists in Linji City.

Even Jiang Lang, hailed as the number one martial artist of Linji City’s younger generation, might not be able to defeat Wang Xiongba.

This had always been Wang Xiongying’s source of pride.

Because Wang Xiongba was, in effect, his martial incarnation.

Wang Xiongba’s strength was his strength!

With Wang Xiongba as his martial incarnation, Wang Xiongying had no fear of Jiang Lang. This was the true source of his confidence.

But Chen Cheng’s appearance made Wang Xiongying feel an unprecedented terror!

Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Talent was simply too monstrous—so monstrous that even a genius with Innate Copper Skin and Iron Bone like Wang Xiongba couldn’t even begin to compare!

Chen Cheng’s very existence suddenly made Wang Xiongying feel that his own genius brother’s Martial Arts Power didn’t seem so formidable anymore.

"It’s nothing, just keep cultivating! Remember, you are the strongest martial arts genius in Linji City. In the future, you will be the strongest in Su State City, and even in all of the Great Yu!

Geniuses aren’t born, they’re made through hard cultivation. So you must cultivate diligently."

Wang Xiongying forcefully suppressed the fury in his heart and managed a smile.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother! I will cultivate the Martial Dao diligently! I am the strongest martial arts genius!"

Wang Xiongba pounded his chest emphatically and resumed his Cultivation.

’Once Chen Cheng is dead, Xiong Ba will still be the strongest martial arts genius!

The Earth Defect Old Monster is in desperate need of ingredients for his alchemy. I had already prepared the Shen sisters for him. Now, adding Chen Cheng, who is even more valuable than the two of them, I should be able to earn a massive favor from him!’

Wang Xiongying thought to himself, then walked to the stone table and began writing a secret letter.

...

「Three days later.」

「Moshan County.」

County Magistrate Shen Zhiming finally got his wish and entered the courtyard where Chen Cheng was staying.

However, he was in no mood to ask Chen Cheng about his insights into the Concealment Secret Skill.

The demon scourge in Moshan County had taken a drastic turn.
