Chapter prologue . Part 6 : One Punch !!

“Mayor, I’m sorry, but I am only a guest. I do not want to die here.”

Another man ran up to Lee Shan Yue and kowtowed in front of him. The first man to kowtow was Yang Xiao, and the second man’s name was Chang Shan. They were both guests who were visiting Jiang Zhen Hai, and they had been loyal to Jiang Zhen Hai before this.

“Yang Xiao, Chang Shan, both of you are jerks! Mayor has been treating you so nicely, so how can you be so worthless?”

Zhou Bei Zhen said in a scolding manner.

“Bastard, worthless jerks, don’t ever call yourselves men again!”

The fat old man was angry as well.

“Let them go, everyone has their own will. There is no need for them to die together with us. Since you have a chance to live on, then you should cherish it.”

Jiang Zhen Hai said.

“I won’t be kneeling down like a dog and kowtow, I would rather die.”

Zhou Bei Zhen said sarcastically.

“I will die as a man, and 18 years later I will become an honorable man again.”

The skinny old man thumped his own chest as he spoke.

The rest of the Qi Hai warriors didn’t go and kneel down. They all had their dignities, and furthermore, Jiang Zhen Hai had been treating them nicely all these years. If they were to turn over to the enemy side when the Jiang family was in trouble, they would no longer be able to call themselves men.

On the other side, Lee Shan Yue looked at both of the men who were kneeling down. He had a hint of despise in his eyes, “Both of you stand up, I won’t kill you, but you two will kill Jiang Zhen Hai.”

Lee Shan Yue looked towards Jiang Zhen Hai. He wouldn’t kill him personally, but he wanted him to be killed by his own men. That will make Jiang Zhen Hai miserable in his death.

“What?”

Both men shouted out at the same time, they had never expected that Lee Shan Yue would have such a demand for them.

“What’s wrong? If you’re not willing to do it then I will kill both of you right now.”

Lee Shan Yue said casually. The power from his Mortal Core surrounded both Yang Xiao and Chang Shan’s heads, making them have a difficult time breathing.

They looked at each other, grinding their teeth and shaking their heads.

After that, both of them stood up and started walking towards Jiang Zhen Hai.

“Mayor, we’re sorry.”

Both of them unleashed their Yuan power. In order to survive, they had no choice but to do this.

“Fuck you.”

Zhou Bei Zhen was the first one to speak out.

"Jiang Chen , is it over ? I am tired of watching this drama " Kong Sheng said with his emotionless voice. He has been watching this drama of betrayal and loyalty but he wasn't feeling anything about this situation.

Jiang Chen sighed feeling helpless when he saw Yang Xiao and Chang Shan. He said in an indifferent voice " just kill them all " Kong Sheng nodded and looked at Lee family soldiers.

What ?

Kill who ?

All the citizens of Fragrant Sky City and others too were surprise by his words .

"Haha….thus brat must have gone mad ." Lee Shan Yue began to crazily laugh. He suddenly became serious and coldly said " you little lowly peasant , do you really think that this little brat who knows who he is can kill all of us ? "

"Young master , what are you saying ? How can he kill them ?" Many Jiang family members began to feel that their young master's "Confidence" was becoming "Madness".

No one believed that Kong Sheng could kill the

Lee family soldiers.

Kong Sheng didn't mind their words and just raised his right fist up in the air while activating the power of "Sky Destroyer Immortal Physique ".

"Oh look , look , he is now gonna charge us with his fist and all of a sudden we will be hit by a strong shock wave from his fist which will result in our death . Haha…" Lee Shan Yue said while laughing at Kong Sheng .

"Haha…chief , I am so scared , he will kill me please save me " one Lee family soldier mocked Kong Sheng.

Another too mocked him " Chief , I am also scared , this man will kill me so please save me "

"Haha…don't worry , this chief will protect you "Lee Shan Yue once again began to mock Kong Sheng.

Even Jiang Hai and Jiang family members were not buying Jiang Chen's words .

But the thing that happened afterward was enough to shock their life till their soul left their bodies !!

Kong Sheng with his emotionless voice said to Lee family soldiers " no more bullshits . Dead people don't need to talk too much "

That was the last thing Lee family members heard before they left the world of living.

Boom !!

When Kong Sheng moved his right arm , his fist moved forward while tearing the wind , space and void before a monstrous air pressure was shot from his fist .

The pressure turned into a powerful waves that could engulf the sky , devastating everything in it's way , the wave finally reached the Lee family soldiers before they felt their bones , skins , tendons and everything tearing and cracking but before they knew anything , they were already dead !!

Their bodies were turned into meatpaste while bloods was raining and painting the world . Those that saw this unbelievable , dream like reality , couldn't come back to real world because of how shock they were .

Even Jiang Chen couldn't believe it . The power shown by Kong Sheng was equal to Combat Emperor yet the destruction was more than that .

The land has now a huge pit and craters , shattering marks . The buildings around were also affected by his fist , resulting in their destruction. The space where his fist's shockwave hit was empty without Time-Space . Slowly the gap was getting filled with Time-Space , air-wind and Heaven and Earth Energy.

Only when Kong Sheng voice was heard in this silence " okay , I have done what you asked so I am leaving for now " with that he walked away .

"Monster " someone finally said this word , his voice was filled with fear and terror when he said this.

Without knowing , everyone nodded their head , subconsciously . Even Jiang Chen had to nod his head and agree on that , that Kong Sheng is a Monster .

……..

Midnight. The moon was shining bright in the sky, and on top of the roof of the Mayor’s mansion stood two men. Both of them stared at the bright moon in the sky without saying a single word.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

These men were Jiang Chen and his father. For Jiang Zhen Hai, he had experienced too many things in his life, especially these past two days. He felt like he was dreaming. He never thought he would experience anything like this.

“When someone chooses to betray another person, he has to be ready for the consequences.”

Jiang Chen said calmly.

“I know.”

Jiang Zhen Hai said with a smile on his face. What happened today had a huge impact on him.

“Dad, I need to leave for a period of time.”

Jiang Chen changed the topic.

“Leave here?”

Jiang Zhen Hai was startled. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked, “Chen’er, where are you going?”

“Dad, don’t worry, I will just be gone for a short period of time… Don’t tell me you’re still worried about my abilities?”

Jiang Chen said with a laugh.

“You’re right, you have grown up and become an adult. Even I am no match for you. Dad knows that this small city can’t keep someone with your abilities for long. You have to go out and experience the world; that is the right thing to do. And you have your friend with you”

Jiang Zhen Hai said with a proud expression. He knew what Jiang Chen was capable of doing, so he wouldn’t worry if he wanted to go out and experience life. Ever since Jiang Chen had transformed into a new person, Jiang Zhen Hai had come to understand one fact; there was not a single person in this world who was capable of taking advantage of Jiang Chen.

……

That same night, Jiang Chen immediately left the Mayor’s mansion and started his journey towards Red city but the thing is Kong Sheng also tagged with him which made the journey more interesting .

Jiang Chen changed into a clean white robe, tying his hair into a bun at the top of his head and letting two wisps of hair hang down from the side.he wore a golden silk belt around his waist and held a white folding fan.He looked calm and handsome, like a young man from a noble family. While Kong Sheng was still wearing the same black cloak which was very old and poor but still was clean and very neatly kept until now. Jiang Chen asked him to change into something else and that was the first time he witnessed Kong Sheng's rage which made him feel a deep terror that even in previous life , he hasn't felt . So that day Jiang Chen realised onething and that was never ever tell Kong Sheng to change anything else other than his own black cloak. It seem Kong Sheng holds some sentiments and memories with his black cloak .

The distance between Fragrant Sky city and Red city was more than a few thousand miles.Not only were there mountains between them, there was also a city named Crowded Sky city.Crowded Sky city was similar to Fragrant Sky city in size, and it was guarded by some Late stage Qi Hai warriors even though it was still weaker than Red city.

The sun had risen from the east, and the bright sunlight was streaming down all over.Jiang Chen and Kong Sheng had traveled for one day and two nights before arriving at Crowded Sky city.If they wanted to reach Red city, then they would have to pass through Crowded Sky city.If they choose to avoid the city, they would have to walk through rough terrain filled with monsters.It would delay their journey, which was why Jiang Chen decided to enter Crowded Sky city and pass directly through it.

Jiang Chen and Kong Sheng entered Crowded Sky, but they did not bother looking around. They were not interested in a city that was similar to Fragrant Sky city. Jiang Chen wouldn’t be able to find anything he needed here anyways.

That was why Jiang Chen kept walking, deciding to pass through Crowded Sky city without making a single stop.

……

On the other side of Crowded Sky city, near the city entrance, there was a huge square.There were a lot of people in this square, especially in the mornings.Today there were more people gathered here than usual.

“The Mercenary Square!”

Four red words were written on a ten feet tall smooth rock near the edge of the square.Groups of people were standing around the square along with different kinds of carriages.Some of them were heavily camouflaged, hiding the interior of the carriage.

“Brother, what is the purpose of this Mercenary Square?”

Jiang Chen asked a guy who looked to be in his thirties.A ninth level Qi Jing warrior, the man went topless, displaying his muscular body.

“What the fuck?Do you not know what the Mercenary Square is for?You’re joking with me, get lost from here.”

The guy waved his hand gesturing for Jiang Chen to get lost as he spoke.

‘What just happened?’

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.This was the first time he visiting Crowded Sky city.Of course he lacked knowledge about the general proceedings of the city.

“You, you, and you, 3 mortal restoration pills each.Alright, we’ve enough men, let’s go.”

Not far from here, an old man wearing luxurious clothing pointed at three man.They got onto a huge horse-drawn carriage, then they left the square.

Those who were selected felt happy and followed the group, whereas those who weren’t released soft sighs.This was a normal situation, so no one felt disappointed.The men who weren’t picked scattered around and started looking for other targets.

After asking around for a bit, Jiang Chen finally understood what this was all about.The Mercenary Square was a place for mercenaries to seek jobs and trade items.

Crowded Sky city and Red city were right next to each other, so a lot of trade caravans would pass by.This was the reason why there was a high demand for mercenaries here.The trade caravans would spend their money and hire mercenaries in the Mercenary Square, protecting them from both bandits and monsters on their road to Red city and making sure the goods arrived safely.The more precious the goods were, the more they would spend on hiring mercenaries.

Fragrant Sky city and Crowded Sky city were almost the same size, but the location of Crowded Sky city was more favorable than Fragrant Sky city.Jiang Chen was constantly fooling around before he was reborn, which was why he was not knowledgeable about these things.

There were a lot of trade caravans and mercenaries within this square.Many trade caravans were picking carefully, looking for strong and capable mercenaries.However, there was one trade caravan that seemed very quiet.Jiang Chen looked at the carriage and discovered that there were only seven people near the caravan.Those seven people were all strong, especially the old man who seemed to be their leader.He had a serious look on his face, and his qi was strong.He was at the late Qi Hai stage.He still couldn’t compare with Jiang Zhen Hai or Mu Rong Zhan, but he could still be considered a very strong warrior.

The rest of the men were all Qi Hai warriors, separating them from the other caravans whose mercenaries consisting of only Qi Jing warriors.These 7 Qi Hai warriors had attracted quite some attention.

“Look, that caravan has been waiting for two days and has yet to begin their journey.”

“Shh!Don’t mention them, that’s a caravan belonging to Red city’s Misty Rain Tower.Do you see that old man?He’s a late stage Qi Hai warrior, and he is from the Yan family.I wonder what they are carrying this time.I’ve heard that they won’t leave until they have eight Qi Hai warriors.Only then will they begin their journey…They only need one more.”

“It’s not easy to find a Qi Hai warrior.In my opinion, they wouldn’t be able to find one, even if they waited another day.”

Lots of people started discussing this matter.

“Brother, how powerful is the Misty Rain Tower?”

Jiang Chen asked one of the nearby people.

The man rolled his eyes and said, “Little brother, you look like a brilliant man, but so why did you ask such an idiotic question?Everyone knows about the two most powerful families in Red city.One is the Misty Rain Tower, and the other is the Lee family.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.He immediately walked towards the caravan belonging to the Misty Rain Tower , followed by Kong Sheng .There was a saying that two tigers cannot live on the same mountain, and with them being just as powerful as the Lee family, the relationship between the Lee family and Misty Rain Tower must be the same as the one between the Mu Rong family and the Jiang family.Now that Jiang Chen had offended the Lee family, it was wise for him to contact the Misty Rain Tower.

Of course, this was not the most important reason.His main purpose was not to deal with the Lee family, but to heal his soul.The reason he wanted to go to Red city was to find a precious item and rare pills that could heal his soul.Since Misty Rain Tower was one of the most powerful families in Red city, he would definitely use them to his advantage.

Seeing the young man walk towards them, a muscular man asked, “Little brother, are you interested in joining us?”

“Yes, I’m interested.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

“Haha, kid, you look clean and white.Being a mercenary is not a game, go back home and drink some more milk.”

A middle aged man with a bearded face started teasing Jiang Chen while ignoring Kong Sheng.The rest of the men started laughing as well.In their eyes, Jiang Chen was only a 15-16 year old brat from some rich family.A young rich brat like him was usually just a useless scumbag.

However, the old man at the late stage of the Qi Hai realm kept staring at Jiang Chen.His instinct told him that this young kid was different.His calm attitude couldn’t be faked, and it wasn’t something that was normally seen on a young kid either.

“This is the Misty Rain Tower’s caravan.We do not care about age when hiring mercenaries;we only care about a person’s true abilities…Are you in the Qi Hai realm?”

The old man asked.

Bang!

A powerful force was unleashed from Jiang Chen’s body, the aura of a Qi Hai warrior.The rest of the mercenaries stopped laughing and looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of disbelief on their faces.

The rest of the people in the Mercenary Square were attracted as well.When they looked at the Qi Hai warrior, all they could see was a young man wearing white clothes.Everyone was shocked, especially the men who had been teasing Jiang Chen earlier.

“Fuck, he must be a genius from some big family…How did he reach the Qi Hai realm at his age?”

“I just teased a young genius at the Qi Hai realm…”

……

The old man was startled when he found out that Jiang Chen actually was a Qi Hai warrior.His eyes immediately lit up, and a smile emerged on his face, “I’m Yan Meng, may I know your name?”

The old man told Jiang Chen his name.He wouldn’t care so much if it was just a Qi Hai warrior, but a 15 year old Qi Hai warrior was different.A young man like this would be considered a peerless genius, even in his family.

“Jiang Chen.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

“Good, little brother Jiang Chen, our destination is Red city’s Misty Rain Tower.I will pay you 20 mortal restoration pills, do you accept?”

Yan Meng asked.

“Brother Jiang Chen, hurry up and accept the offer!We will be able to leave once you accept, I’ve waited for almost two days here.”

The man who teased Jiang Chen earlier, told him to go back home, and drink some more milk said.

“I’ll accept it.”
