First Kill

"No, little brother, you should go! I'll give you some time to get away." Her broadsword twitched nervously as Wang Mei conveyed her worry.

After seeing Liu Kang blast away, she realizes no one can stop Zu Yan from killing them because Liu Kang has the highest cultivation in the group. Even though she had no idea what Jiang Chen's cultivation realm was, she was confident that it was not higher than hers.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and looked at her with amazement. He's not sure what's wrong with her. She first continued to protect him from the silver wolves, and now she is willing to sacrifice herself so that he can escape.

"Don't worry, let me handle this," Jiang Chen said while showing a gentle smile at her.

Then he turned around to confront Zu Yan, who had a horrible face.

"Ha! a kid attempting to play the role of a hero? It makes no difference because you're all going to be my cultivation resources." Zu Yan let out a snort.

Jiang Chen lowered his body as he took the stance of a drawing sword.

Zu Yan vanished from his position as he moved at his fastest movement speed.

"Die!!!" Zu Yan yelled. He reappeared as he swung his sword at Jiang Chen's head.

"NO!" Wang Mei yelled, seeing the sword was almost in Jiang Chen's neck.

Jiang Chen was calmly watching the sword in his neck as he had already activated his first Bloodline skill. [Time Stop]

As the surroundings stopped moving, Jiang Chen whispered, "Swift sword first stage: [Asura Draw]" As soon as he said, the sword in his hand shined brightly with sword qi as it hit Zu Yan with lightning speed.

*Boom*

Zu Yan smashed his body against the wall with a big sword wound in his chest.

*Groan*

"You! What are you? " Zu Yan yelled as he tried to get up as soon as he hit the wall.

Jiang Chen was surprised to see that Zu Yan didn't die. Then he thought that Zu Yan was a body cultivator who turned into an evil cultivator, so he must have a sturdier body than your average joe.

Jiang Chen didn't give him time to recover; he quickly utilized his Swift sword.

Jiang Chen raised his sword upward straight to his body while saying "second stage: [Sword wave].

Out of the sword flew a sword qi that condensed into a thin, large blade.

"Nooooo" Zu Yan yelled, seeing he would take a direct attack from Jiang Chen with no time to recover.

*gushed*

Wang Mei and Liu Kang were shocked to see that Zu Yan was cut in half while the blood was gushing like a fountain in the scene.

Blurgh*

After killing Zu Yan, Jiang Chen vomited at the gruesome scene. Although he was used to killing beasts and he was able to see far more gruesome scenes, this was his first time killing a person.

After vomiting, Jiang Chen recovered as he got closer to Liu Kang.

"Brother Jiang, I didn't know you were this strong!" Liu Kang said admiringly

"Yes, little brother, were you laughing at me when I was trying to protect you from the silver wolves?" Wang Mei said as she remembered how she tried protecting him.

"I didn't really try to hide it, it's just that I didn't get a chance to show it," Jiang Chen said as he stared at Wang Mei. He keeps hinting to her that it wasn't his fault that he couldn't fight the silver wolves, as she keeps killing all that's come at him.

Wang Mei blushed as she realized what he meant. But her heart throbbed at seeing Jiang Chen staring at her.

"Ah right! "Brother Liu, do you still have a healing elixir for Sister Shen?" Wang Mei exclaimed as she remembered that Su Shen was still in critical condition. Although Jiang Chen stopped her bleeding, she still had a wound in her chest, so without healing elixir, she could still die.

With that being said, Wang Mei went over to Su Shen, who was unconscious on the floor, then lifted her head and poured a healing elixir into her mouth.

A moment later, Su Shen wakes up with a cough.

Coughing*

"Sister Shen, I'm glad you are fine," Wang Mei exclaimed with delight.

Groan*

"What happened? Ah, right! Where is that bastard, Zu Yan? " Su Shen said with a groan as she held her head as if she was in pain, then looked around after remembering she was stabbed by Zu Yan.

"He is dead," Liu Kang said while pointing to Zu Yan's dead body.

"Hmph, serve him right!" Su Shen snorted, then continued talking. "Brother Liu, thank you for saving me, "Su Shen said with adoration in her eyes.

"It wasn't me, it was Brother Jiang who saved us. I wasn't even able to touch him before I got beaten up, haha, "Liu Kang said with a laugh, but his face showed embarrassment.

"What!"Su Shen was startled, then she stared at Jiang Chen, who was nonchalantly watching them without a sign of battling.

"Brother Liu, you must be joking, right?" Su Shen said again while staring at Liu Kang, but she saw that he was not joking.

"It's true, Sister Shen, little brother was really powerful, even if he appears to be a toyboy right now, he was very powerful when he fought!" Wang Mei remarked admiringly.

"..." Jiang Chen

After that, Jiang Chen and the others divided the mountain gold and treasures. Jiang Chen chose just gold coins and a battlesuit, although there was a weapon artifact he didn't want since it was a saber weapon, and there was also a cultivation manual he didn't need.

"Brother Jiang, how are you going to get your share?" Liu Kang inquired after seeing Jiang Chen was not wearing a Spatial Ring.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had no clue what he was talking about, he immediately offered. "If you wish, I have an additional spatial ring that, although little, should suffice."

Holding the spatial ring Jiang Chen immediately senses the connection and how large the area within is. Then he immediately activated the spatial ring while pointing to his treasure.

* Float

All of his loot was soon pulled into the ring.

"Thank you, Brother Liu Kang." Jiang Chen said.

Following that, Liu Kang asked the party whether they still wanted to go into the cave, but he was immediately refused by Wang Mei and Su Shen since they had already been scared by Zu Yan, and they were afraid that if they ran across Zhao Gao inside, things would become worse.
