Chapter 2235: I’ll Give You an Explanation
But to the disappointment of Wen Cheng and the others, they did not see what they wanted. They did not see Jian Chen fall to the ground when the rock crumbled. Instead, he remained at the same height as he shone with a holy light. He was completely unaffected.
Even the dust that had been kicked up was stopped by the layer of gentle light around Jian Chen, preventing him from being contaminated.
Wen Cheng immediately frowned when he saw this. The behaviour of the second senior of the Soaring Clouds Peak was different from what he had expected.
At this moment, the Radiant Saint Force around Jian Chen gradually dispersed. He opened his eyes and looked at Wen Cheng’s group with a cold gaze. He growled, “Forcefully interfering with someone’s cultivation will lead to severe consequences. Unless you have irreconcilable grievances with someone, no one ever does that in the Saints’ World.”
“Once someone forcefully interferes with someone else’s cultivation, grievances will develop even when there were none in the beginning. Moreover, it will be a great grievance!”
Jian Chen’s voice was icy-cold and firm.
The Radiant Saint Master who shattered the rock under Jian Chen sneered, “Really? Then doesn’t that mean there’s a huge grievance between us now?”
Out of the five disciples of the Snowfall Peak, he was the Radiant Saint Master who had joined most recently. He also had a one-colored soulcore, but he did not take Jian Chen seriously at all. He provoked, “You must be the second senior of the Soaring Clouds Peak, Chang Yang, right? But Chang Yang, now that we already have grievances between us, a huge grievance as a matter of fact, what are you going to do?”
Jian Chen stood with his arms crossed twenty metres away from Wen Cheng’s group. His white robes were not contaminated by anything as he said, “There have been many people who have developed grievances with me due to various reasons, but many of them are already dead. They died under my hands.” Jian Chen spoke calmly, but his voice was filled with a frigid coldness.
Jian Chen did not take the disciples of Snowfall Peak too seriously in the beginning, but he happened to overhear everything that they had said as they made their way over.
That was because something had happened to Jian Chen’s soul, boosting his senses to an unbelievable level. Nothing that happened on the Soaring Clouds Peak could escape from his senses. Whether it was what Wen Cheng’s words, the conversation between Bai Yu and Zhuo Feng, or even Han Xin who was healing in seclusion, he was able to sense it all clearly.
Including Wen Cheng, the disciples of the Snowfall Peak were all surprised. However, they were not frightened. After being surprised, they laughed aloud. They looked at Jian Chen like they were looking at a fool.
“I’ve seen arrogance, but never have I seen something like this. Where did the courage come from for someone with a one-colored soulcore to say such confident words...”
“Who does he think he is? Even second senior brother isn’t bold enough to say something as arrogant as that. Is he just ignorant, unaware of the dangers that he faces...”
“His enemies before were probably mortals who had never cultivated before. Dealing with those ordinary people with his strength as a Class 9 Radiant Saint Master is indeed a piece of cake. Hahahaha...”
The disciples of the Snowfall Peak all scoffed. They were not afraid of Jian Chen’s threats at all.
“Fifth junior brother, looks like you’ve accidentally offended a problematic person,” the second senior of the Snowfall Peak, Wen Cheng, sniggered at Jian Chen strangely as he looked at Jian Chen.
The fifth junior brother sniggered as well. He said, “It looks like this person really is someone who I can’t afford to offend, but my greatest flaw is that I’m not afraid of trouble, so the more I can’t afford to offend him, the more I want to offend him.” With that, the fifth junior brother immediately controlled Radiant Saint Force and arrived before Jian Chen in a flash. Milky-white light covered his hand as he directly slapped it towards Jian Chen’s face.
Being slapped in the face was the most humiliating thing that could happen to someone. Clearly, the fifth junior brother did not plan on showing Jian Chen any respect, using this vicious method right from the start to humiliate Jian Chen.
Jian Chen’s eyes turned cold. He remained there without moving at all and raised his hand as well. Covered by a layer of Radiant Saint Force, he slapped out even faster than the fifth junior brother.
Slap!
With a crisp sound, Jian Chen’s slap hit the fifth junior brother before his hand even approached Jian Chen. The strike landed firmly on his face. It sent him flying.
Wen Cheng and the two other disciples were dumbfounded when they saw this. They watched their fifth junior brother get knocked over a dozen metres away. All of their faces became blank.
The fifth junior brother of the Snowfall Peak scrambled to his feet in horrible shape. His snow-white robes were covered in soil while half of his face had been reduced to a bloody mess. His teeth had completely shattered, and he glared at Jian Chen with bloodshot eyes.
“Y- you coward. How dare you slap me! I- I want to kill you!” The fifth junior brother of the Snowfall Peak was furious. Humiliation filled him as his gaze towards Jian Chen became filled with killing intent.
Afterwards, he charged at Jian Chen like he was insane. He used his Radiant Artes to attack Jian Chen with his full strength.
Jian Chen sneered and also used Radiant Artes to receive the attacks. Even though the strength he displayed was at the level of a one-colored soulcore, his battle prowess had completely exceeded the one-colored soulcore. Even without using the Laws of the Hallowed, the fifth junior brother was not his opponent.
Slap!
With another crisp sound, Jian Chen’s hand landed on the other half of the fifth junior brother’s face, sending him flying once again.
The fifth junior brother of the Snowfall Peak cried out miserably. Clearly, the slap this time was far more powerful than the previous one. Not only did it reduce his entire face to a bloody mess, but he was even stunned by it. He slipped in and out of unconsciousness.
“Stop!”
“Don’t you dare, Chang Yang!”
...
Only now did Wen Cheng and the others return to their senses. They were utterly furious as they roared out angrily. Two of them directly charged towards Jian Chen.
“No one’s allowed to bully my junior brother. This is the territory of our Soaring Clouds Peak, not your Snowfall Peak. If you want to make trouble here, I’ll get teacher to teach you a lesson,” at this moment, Bai Yu, who heard what happened here, hurried over from afar. Before she even arrived, she had already called out.
Bai Yu was filled with panic. She knew that Jian Chen had only reached the one-colored soulcore recently. He was a bottom feeder among Radiant Saint Masters with one-colored soulcores with that level of cultivation, yet even the weakest disciple of the Snowfall Peak had been been a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore for longer than him. As a result, she believed that Jian Chen would be the one to suffer if conflict happened between them.
Hearing Bai Yu’s cries, the two Radiant Saint Masters who charged towards Jian Chen in an attempt to punish him forcefully halted themselves. They were not afraid of Han Xin. Instead, they thought about a rule where stronger disciples were not allowed to attack weaker disciples.
The two of them both had two-colored soulcores. If they attacked a disciple with a one-colored soulcore here, it would be breaking the rules of the Radiant Saint Hall. They would suffer severe punishments.
It was exactly because of that that the person who shattered the rock beneath Jian Chen earlier was their weakest fifth junior brother, who also had a one-colored soulcore.
However, when they saw their disfigured fifth junior brother and heard Bai Yu’s cry, the disciples all revealed extremely interesting expressions.
Bai Yu arrived before Jian Chen with lightning speed. At first, she studied him carefully, and she only sighed in relief when she saw that he was fine. Afterwards, she stood in front of him with her smaller body and said, “Junior brother, don’t be scared. Senior sister is here. Senior sister will never let them bully you.”
“Chang Yang, I- I want to kill you!” At this moment, the dizzy fifth junior brother of the Snowfall Peak climbed to his feet. After finding where Jian Chen was standing with great difficulty, he called out furiously in a slurred voice and charged over with blood-shot eyes.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, he felt the world around him spin. He staggered and fell over.
When Bai Yu, who had run over in a hurry to protect Jian Chen, saw the disfigured fifth junior brother, she was completely dazed. She had no idea what had happened.
“Junior brother, w- what happened?” Bai Yu pointed at the fifth junior brother and asked Jian Chen.
“Hmph, what else can happen? The Chang Yang of your Soaring Clouds Peak has injured a disciple of our Snowfall Peak to such a degree. Our Snowfall Peak will definitely be seeking an explanation from your Soaring Clouds Peak,” the third disciple of the Snowfall Peak, Lian Yan, said sternly. His expression was extremely ugly.
“Ah! W- what did you say? The Liu Chengbing of your Snowfall Peak has been beaten up like this by my junior brother?” Bai Yu was taken away. Disbelief filled her face.
“You don’t say. Aside from Chang Yang, who else could it be?” Lian Yan said furiously. He did not take the Soaring Clouds Peak seriously at all.
“You want an explanation? Alright, I’ll give you an explanation,” Jian Chen took a step forward and said emotionlessly.
