Chapter 18: Mockery
“You certainly have a silver tongue. I’ll remember you!” Cang Yun exhaled deeply, suppressing his fury, his eyes gleaming coldly as he half-smiled at Jiang Chen.
“Oh, you better not,” Jiang Chen responded playfully. “It’s never good to be remembered by you. I advise you to forget me; otherwise, it might lead to trouble.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t intimidated by this so-called prodigy of the Azure Dragon Clan. He was confident that he could handle him with ease.
“What is this man’s identity?” Cang Yun, trying to maintain his composure in front of Yan Ruyu, ignored Jiang Chen and turned to her. He was keen to learn more about Jiang Chen’s background.
“He is called the Dragon Slayer,” Yan Ruyu replied, batting her eyelids innocently, her every move dripping with allure.UppTodated from nô/v/e/l/b(i)n.c(o)/m
“I’ve heard that the hearing of the dragon clan isn’t too good,” Jiang Chen joked. “It’s normal if you didn’t hear clearly!”
“I have some pills here that are excellent for treating hearing issues. Would you like some?” Yan Ruyu chimed in, perfectly in sync with Jiang Chen, much to the amusement of the onlookers.
“You two!” Cang Yun’s face turned extremely sour, realizing he was being mocked. Both Jiang Chen and Yan Ruyu were clearly in cahoots, making a fool out of him. He regretted trying to maintain his dignity for Yan Ruyu’s sake.
“Don’t upset yourself, God Son of the Azure Dragon,” Jiang Chen teased further. “It’s important to keep your dragon body healthy; otherwise, the dragon meat won’t taste good.”
The crowd couldn’t help but burst into laughter, enjoying the spectacle of Cang Yun being toyed with.
“Who is this Dragon Slayer? He’s so composed, not afraid of Cang Yun at all,” the onlookers whispered among themselves. “His status must be high for Yan Fairy to side with him against Cang Yun.”
“You’re overestimating yourself!” Jiang Chen sighed and flicked his finger.
Swoosh.
“You overestimate yourself!” Jiang Chen sighed and flicked his fingers. A flash of cold light emerged, and in the next moment, Cang Yun’s arm, along with half of his body, was instantly severed. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Pffft...
“You!” Cang Yun was shocked, utterly unprepared for Jiang Chen’s strength.
The disparity between them was enormous. This made Cang Yun extremely shocked and terrified. The people around him were also shocked. They knew that Jiang Chen was strong, but they didn’t expect him to be this strong.
“Don’t you remember what I told you?” Jiang Chen spoke indifferently. “You’re not a good listener. Didn’t your parents teach you not to show off too much outside?”
Cang Yun, pale and retreating quickly, was filled with rage and fear. Jiang Chen was too powerful for him, like an adult against a child learning to walk.
“It seems I, Dragon Slayer, have never actually slain a dragon,” Jiang Chen said, focusing his gaze. His aura sealed all Cang Yun’s escape routes, making retreat impossible. Cang Yun felt the deadly threat all around him.
“Please, Young Master, stop!” Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed over, sweating profusely. “Dragon Slayer Young Master, he can’t die in the Divine Stone Pavilion. If you must kill him, please take him away from here. We can’t have him die in the Pavilion.”
Recognizing the dilemma of Divine Stone Pavilion’s manager, Jiang Chen decided to spare Cang Yun. “You’re lucky this time,” he said lightly.
Cang Yun remained silent, knowing any word might provoke Jiang Chen further. He was afraid that he would give Jiang Chen an opportunity if he spoke. Others might not dare to do so, but Jiang Chen really dared to. He feared becoming a corpse if he spoke out of turn.
Seeing the Pavilion’s manager had intervened, Jiang Chen, finding the situation uninteresting, wrapped his arm around Yan Ruyu’s waist and said, “Since the Pavilion manager has spoken, I’ll spare you today. Remember to be more careful next time.”
