Chang Mao and Wenzhu both thought Jiang Chen was spouting nonsense, so of course they didn’t believe he could help Mr. Qiu Shui.
They had the situation completely under control. The current Mr. Qiu Shui was merely a spent force.
Mr. Qiu Shui could only shake his head and sigh.
Then he shouted, "Young man, get out of here! I can’t hold on much longer!"
However, Jiang Chen remained unfazed.
He said nonchalantly, "You’re trying to act tough, old man. If you need help, just say so. As for whether I can help you... let’s wait and see."
"If you need my help, I can save you."
Mr. Qiu Shui was taken aback.
However, Chang Mao and Wenzhu quickened their assault.
BANG!
Mr. Qiu Shui still couldn’t withstand their joint attack. He was sent flying toward Jiang Chen.
BOOM!
Mr. Qiu Shui slammed to the ground, snapping the trunk of a tree as thick as a man’s embrace.
The great tree came crashing down.
"Haha, you old bastard! How much longer can you last?"
Chang Mao and Wenzhu rapidly closed in.
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly.
Since he’d stumbled upon this business with the Alchemy Master Guild, Jiang Chen felt he had to get involved.
He had single-handedly founded the Alchemy Master Guild in his past life, and he couldn’t let parasites like Chang Mao and Wenzhu infest it.
Seeing that Mr. Qiu Shui still hadn’t asked for his help,
He sighed. ’Fine. Even if you won’t speak up, I’m going to help you.’
Immediately, Jiang Chen said to Chang Mao and Wenzhu, "If the two of you run now, you might still have a chance."
What?
Chang Mao and Wenzhu almost laughed out loud.
They looked at Jiang Chen as if he were a clown.
"Are you dreaming, kid?"
"Fine. We’ll kill you first, then we’ll finish off this old bastard."
With that, Chang Mao charged straight at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled contemptuously.
He said nonchalantly, "Demon Kings, come out and greet our guests."
ROAR...
Just then, a sudden, abrupt roar echoed throughout Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
ROAR...
AWOO...
In an instant, endless roars spread across Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. A chorus of beasts rang out in unison, shaking the very heavens and earth.
Simultaneously, more than a dozen terrifying auras erupted from all directions, descending upon Jiang Chen’s location with overwhelming force.
Each aura belonged to an expert at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens. At the same time, countless other terrifying Demon Beasts began to move with a thunderous clamor.
What?
Chang Mao and Wenzhu had planned to first kill the incredibly verbose Jiang Chen.
But now, as they felt the chorus of roars from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and were buffeted by more than a dozen terrifying auras at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens, the color drained from their faces.
They cried out in alarm, "The Beast Kings of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!"
"These are the auras of the Beast Kings!"
Chang Mao, who had been charging at Jiang Chen, came to a sudden halt.
He stared intently at Jiang Chen and demanded, "Kid, who in the hell are you?"
Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly, "I’m your ancestor."
ROAR!
The foremost and most powerful aura instantly shot through the air.
Before its figure even arrived, a terrifying aura had already locked onto Chang Mao and Wenzhu.
"Trespassers in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will die..."
It was Lord Xiong, who shot over as a streak of black light.
Meanwhile, the auras of more than a dozen Demon Kings arrived one after another.
The air over Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain crackled with the promise of battle.
A moment ago, Chang Mao and Wenzhu had been utterly convinced that Jiang Chen was powerless to kill them. Now, however, they were horrified.
Although they were masters at the Martial Arts Ninth Heaven, neither of them was a match for a single one of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain’s Demon Kings in a one-on-one fight.
Let alone more than a dozen Demon Kings appearing all at once.
The sight was simply terrifying.
They would likely be torn to shreds by these Demon Kings in a single clash.
At that moment, Chang Mao and Wenzhu looked at each other.
The two shot a furious glare at Jiang Chen and then glanced reluctantly at the injured Mr. Qiu Shui. They knew that if they didn’t leave now, they never would.
They couldn’t defeat the Demon Kings here, but they still had a chance to escape.
Being ruthless individuals, they made a split-second decision. They shot into the air and fled from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
ROAR! ROAR...
More than a dozen Demon Kings appeared above Jiang Chen and the others, then slowly descended.
After all, Chang Mao and Wenzhu had already fled, so there was no point in giving chase.
"Lord Jiang Chen, are you alright?"
Lord Xiong was the first to speak, his tone full of respect for Jiang Chen.
’This man was their King’s sworn brother.’
’How could they not be respectful?’
Jiang Chen shook his head. "I’m fine."
"Thank you for your help."
The dozen or so Demon Kings landed, gathering around Jiang Chen to inspect him. They were relieved to find him completely unharmed.
If Jiang Chen had been injured in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, their King Flame Dragon would never have forgiven them.
Jiang Chen then walked over and helped the disheveled Mr. Qiu Shui to his feet.
’Mr. Qiu Shui was utterly shocked.’
’For the first time, he felt he couldn’t see through the young man before him.’
’To be able to summon more than a dozen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain’s Demon Kings—and have every single one of them treat him with such reverence—that was the truly terrifying part.’
"Sir, are your injuries serious?" Jiang Chen asked.
Mr. Qiu Shui glanced warily at the surrounding Demon Kings. ’But since they’re Jiang Chen’s allies, they probably won’t hurt me,’ he thought.
’He knew for a fact that he couldn’t defeat any of these Demon Kings in a one-on-one fight.’
He gave a wry smile. "I’ll live."
"But still, thank you for your help. If not for you, I would have certainly died today."
He was filled with emotion. When Jiang Chen had asked if he needed help earlier, he had refused, feeling the young man was powerless.
But now he saw that here, in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Jiang Chen really could help him.
"In that case, focus on recovering from your injuries."
"It’s safe here. No one will harm you."
Then, Jiang Chen turned to the dozen or so Demon Kings. "Thank you all. You can return for now. I’ll call you when I need you."
The Demon Kings all bid their farewells and flew off.
Mr. Qiu Shui took out a number of Essence Crystals and began absorbing them to heal his injuries.
With Jiang Chen standing guard, he began his recovery in the clearing, feeling completely at ease.
Roughly three days passed, with Jiang Chen watching over Mr. Qiu Shui the entire time.
After three days, Mr. Qiu Shui slowly opened his eyes.
He was completely revitalized, his injuries obviously healed.
As the President of the Alchemist Guild, he was bound to have plenty of Healing Elixirs on him, so Jiang Chen hadn’t offered any of his own.
"Young friend, my thanks."
Standing up, Mr. Qiu Shui gave Jiang Chen a small cupped-fist salute, his gratitude sincere.
Jiang Chen smiled. "There’s no need for that. Now that you’ve recovered, I can rest easy."
"How did you end up being hunted by your own people?"
Mr. Qiu Shui sighed. "It’s because of that drop of Earth Dragon Blood I won at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s auction."
"Unfortunately, I was targeted by Vice Presidents Chang Mao and Wenzhu."
"They ambushed and injured me, intending to steal my Earth Dragon Blood."
Jiang Chen was a little speechless. ’It’s a classic case of attracting trouble by possessing a treasure,’ he thought.
It was only natural that many would covet a treasure like the Earth Dragon Blood in Mr. Qiu Shui’s possession.
"What are your plans now? Do you intend to return to the Alchemy Master Guild in Gambling City?"
"But if you go back now, it will be extremely dangerous. The outcome will be the same as before."
Jiang Chen was merely stating the facts.
Mr. Qiu Shui had been betrayed by Chang Mao and Wenzhu once; if he dared to return to the Alchemy Master Guild, it would surely happen a second time.
