CHAPTER 740 GENTRY JIANG

"Ha-ha, finally! It was not easy to find this place, one of the rallying points of the Sky Dome. I can't

believe it!" A clear and cheerful voice cut through the area. Heads tuned towards the person who

spoke, curious and amused by the upbeat energy.

A figure stood confidently with a folding fan in his hand.

His face had a harmless look on it, as if he was there for an innocent purpose. However, similar to that

time with Connor from the Celestial Army, Ricky felt that there was also something mysterious in the

young man in front of him. In addition, Ricky had a strong feeling that the cultivation achievement that

this young man had could be far beyond his imagination.

Nevertheless, there were still differences between the young man and Connor. Ricky could sense that

the aura of the young man was mysterious but somehow pure. In contrast, the aura from Connor, the

leader of the Celestial Army, was somehow evil.

'Why did this young man appear suddenly? Is he one of the Celestial Army as well?' Ricky wondered

discretely. So far, he was really confused about what had happened. He was still trying to process what

happened earlier, but now this young man came and threw him off even worse.

However, he was sure about one thing—Connor and the young man who had just showed up were

both aiming for the huge iron core at the heart of the colossus.

'If I'm right—that the huge iron core at the heart of the colossus is really part of the mysterious axe

deep in the Soul Sea—they might have something to do with me, ' Ricky mused.

"Ha-ha, Connor, here you are! And you've stated that you're the leader of the Celestial Army. I can't

believe you really did that!" As the young man spoke, he fixed his eyes on Connor with a sardonic look

on his face.

Connor could hardly contain his anger when he noticed that he was being made fun of. Fury burned in

his eyes and he fixed the young man with a death glare.

"Gentry, how and why have you come here?" Connor asked in a cold tone. He looked unimpressed by

the newcomer's relaxed appearance.

"Well, didn't you know the answer already? I came here using the same way you did. Wait, did you

think your actions can be concealed from us? How naive of you!" Gentry Jiang, the young man in

white, sneered condescendingly at Connor.

"Fortunately, I was not late. Otherwise, things would have become really troublesome once you have

gotten what you wanted,"

Then, he turned and looked at Ricky with a smile on his face. "Hey, thank you for stopping this devil

man. You have no idea how big of a help you were to me."

"You don't have to say that. As a matter of fact, it is you that have saved our lives. Thanks for showing

up in time. Otherwise, we would have died. Besides, I was helping my friends as well. My friends are

still under his control right now."

As Ricky spoke, concern filled his heart. When he threw Luke and Tyler into one of his zones, there

was nobody in their spiritual space tools—neither Kristen nor Tyson.

He guessed that Kristen and Tyson would not be imprisoned in the spiritual space tool of Connor either.

"Oh? He has taken your friends hostage, if I'm not misunderstanding?" Gentry Jiang confirmed as he

nodded slightly towards Ricky to show that he understood. Then, his eyes fixated on the chief of the

Sky Manor, who was lying behind Connor at that moment. The expression on his face showed that he

had already made up his mind on what to do next.

Whoosh! Gentry Jiang suddenly moved in a flash as he aimed for the chief of the Sky Manor.

When he noticed that Gentry Jiang was going to save the hostage behind him, Connor reacted quickly

to stop Gentry. Their confrontation had begun swiftly, but ended just as fast, with Connor's defeat.

Gentry Jiang had beaten Connor without a hitch and took the chief of the Sky Manor away from him.

Gentry Jiang appeared in front of Ricky and handed the chief of the Sky Manor over.

Ricky reached out and took the chief of the Sky Manor into his arms. He then sent her into the Chaotic

Fire Zone for break and recovery.

Deep in Ricky's heart, he was shocked at Gentry Jiang's overwhelming power. Although the

confrontation between Gentry Jiang and Connor was really short, Ricky could clearly feel how powerful

the former had achieved in cultivation. He thought, 'This man is able to deal with the divine energy of

Connor. In this case, his power must be some kind of divine energy as well.'

"Thank you so much!" Ricky expressed his thanks to Gentry Jiang sincerely.

"You're welcome. Please think of it as a reward, since you helped me stop Connor. And also, I had to

save her life anyway," Gentry Jiang replied with a smile on his face.

'What? He has to save her life anyway? What does that mean?' Ricky could not help but wonder, his

mind raced with possibilities.

"How could this be possible?! Your power has reached the peak of a completed spiritual king! I thought

that only a second-class completed spiritual king can be transferred!" Connor screamed hysterically.

"Well, you're only half way right about that. There are differences between you and me. You

constrained your cultivation level in order to come here, while I gave up my level to be here. Because

of the constraint you've done to yourself, you are not able to do any cultivation here. Unlike you, I can

cultivate here. After the cultivation here for some time, I've become a completed spiritual king again,"

Gentry exclaimed with a smile evident on his face.

"What did you say?! You gave up your level?! I can't believe you did such a thing to yourself!" Connor Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

cried out in shock. With disbelief plainly written on his face, he added, "You are crazy, man!"

"Ha-ha! Well, I have to do that. With the same level, I really am not sure I can beat you. However, I

can't let you take away that thing. So, I guess this is the only way for me," Gentry replied lightly.

"As for the power level that I had given up, well, I have confidence in myself. I think I can definitely

regain it after a short time of cultivation.

At this point, I strongly recommend that you should leave right away. Because, the thing that you want

to take away, belongs to this place originally. After all, I don't think you will be able to take it in front of

me." As Gentry Jiang was speaking, his voice became cold, while his eyes had become serious

suddenly.

Once again, he stared at Connor with an enraged expression.

When he sensed that Gentry Jiang was threatening him, Connor turned pale as his eyes darted around

in fear. He knew clearly that there was no way for him to beat Gentry Jiang. What was more, it was

possible for Gentry Jiang to kill him under the present circumstances.

Connor understood well that it was not worth it for him to get what he wanted this time. He would rather

not risk his life at all. In an instant, he had made his choice in his mind.

"Listen, Gentry, you won't be so lucky always! I'll wait and see how long it will take for you to gain your

earlier level from now on," Connor shouted in a gloomy tone.

"Otherwise, if you fail to regain your level before we meet each other next time in two hundred years,

both you and your Jiang clan will be all dead and gone!"

As Connor spoke, worry flashed in Gentry Jiang's eyes as if something was troubling him.

"That has nothing to do with you anyway. Mind your own business!" he replied in a cold tone with a

serious look on his face at this moment.

Bang! Right after Gentry Jiang's words, Connor crushed something in his hand. A black light formed

and enveloped him in a flash and he disappeared completely. After that, no one could sense any trace

of him anymore.

"He left for good," Gentry Jiang said in a flat tone, distaste apparent on his face.

Ricky and the others were surprised at the series of events. They wanted to know the reason why

Connor left suddenly. However, they did not know what to ask first, as things had happened so quickly.

Before the others could state their queries, Gentry Jiang said, "Please make a Martial Arts Oath here

right now. You are not allowed to say a word about what had just happened here. And you should all

pretend as if you have seen nothing here today. Otherwise, I could simply kill you, to keep all these as

a secret."

After Gentry Jiang's speech, Ricky and others could only make a Martial Arts Oath obediently.

Somehow, they strongly believed that he would do as he had said. He was definitely capable of killing

them all if he wanted to.

"Thanks for doing what I told you, guys. Now that things here are all settled, it's time for me to leave,"

Gentry Jiang said in a calm tone as he nodded his approval for what Ricky and others had done.

"Wait, are you not going to take the iron core at the heart of the colossus?" Ricky asked at this moment.

"Ha-ha, good question. Well, I do want to have it but sadly, it does not belong to me. Besides, it will be

safer for it to stay there rather than with me. I suggest that you to stay away from iron core. Otherwise,

I'm afraid that you would end up dead, courtesy of me," Gentry Jiang replied with a disarming smile on

his face.

"By the way, can you tell me your name please?"

"Sir, my name is Ricky Nan!"

"Ricky, I have no idea how this occurred to me. But I have a strong feeling that we will meet each other

again in the future. Please remember my name, Gentry Jiang," he said with a serious look on his face.

After he said all this, he lowered his cultivation level and became a second-class completed spiritual

king. He left just as how Connor did moments ago—he crushed something in his hand and then

disappeared.
