When Great Elder Shui Yuan learned that his son was going to have a life and death battle with Jiang Chen tomorrow, his heart tightened and he felt bad for some reason.
Even though his son had an absolute advantage and it was a battle with huge disparity in strength, he still felt uneasy.
Jiang Chen gave him a feeling that no other junior had experienced.
In full public view, he killed Zhao Yajun regardless of the consequences. If Shui Yuan were decades younger, he would have applauded him.
His son doesn't have that kind of courage.
Of course, if it was just like this, he might not be like this. The key is Jiang Chen's threat that day.
In a blink of an eye, he would have to fight to the death with his son. If Shui Chun hadn't been the one to bring it up, he would have thought that Jiang Chen was deliberately seeking revenge.
Shui Yuan wanted his son to be careful, but he knew that doing so would cause Shui Chun's displeasure.
Because doing so is equivalent to reminding the proud tiger to watch out for a rabbit.
"Water element."
An unexpected voice sounded in his room. Shui Yuan was startled. He didn't understand why the master of the palace was looking for him in private. This was something that rarely happened.
"Jiang Chen, you can't die."
The palace master did not beat around the bush and directly explained his purpose.
"Hall Master, can I ask why?" Shui Yuan has always been curious as to why the great elder headed by Nangong wanted to help Jiang Chen, especially when the Hall Master came forward.
"All right."
After that, there was no sound in the room, but Shui Yuan's expression was constantly changing, ranging from confusion to surprise, and finally to ecstasy.
"Palace Master, it turns out that's the case. It was my fault before." Shui Yuan understood what was going on and didn't complain at all.
"I will tell Shui Chun not to kill but to defeat."
"Um."
………
"Jiang Chen."
In Jiang Chen's room, the palace master's voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Chen didn't remember the palace master's voice, because the voice had no characteristics and he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
But he is still aware of the palace master's ability to not show up but only talk.
"Palace Master?"
"It's me. I'm here to tell you about tomorrow's decisive battle. I hope you will only lose but not kill."
"Can……"
"You hate Shui Yuan, I know and understand it. But think about it from another perspective. Your battle pet lost control and hurt people. The unknowing Shui Yuan, as the great elder, has the obligation and responsibility to take action."
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, but still nodded, acknowledging what he said.
"You killed Zhao Yajun in public. If you were to deal with it normally, even if you didn't die, you would be expelled from the Hall of Heroes and hunted down by Zhao Yajun's family." The master of the hall said again.
Jiang Chen continued to nod, he thought about the consequences when he killed Zhao Yajun.
"Moreover, your sword has also given you a lot of fame. When you become stronger, your intimidation will be no weaker than the top ten people on the combat power list." The palace master said.
"Palace Master, it was Shui Chun who proposed the life-and-death duel." Jiang Chen said.
"I know, and I also know about Jingxin Lake. Once you win, Jingxin Lake will no longer be in his charge, and both you and Ying Wushuang will get the treatment they deserve."
Jiang Chen's face gradually calmed down and he said: "Palace Master, what if Shui Chun wants to kill me?"
"Don't worry, I've already beaten it over there."
"oh."
Jiang Chen understood that for the Hall of Heroes, Shui Chun and his life-and-death battle would have a bad impact, and no matter what the outcome was, he did not want to see it.
To turn the difference between life and death into the difference between victory and defeat.
Forcibly interfering will make people gossip. It would be best if both parties voluntarily give up killing their defeated generals.
"Shui Chun's father is Shui Yuan. I am in charge of the development of Qi Mei. I wonder if the Hall of Heroes will interfere if not." Jiang Chen thought in his heart.
The palace master's voice no longer sounded, he must have left.
The next day is the day of competition.
Jiang Chen arrived at the welcoming square, which was also the place for competitions, and a lot of people had already gathered.
Shui Chun arrived before him, standing in the center, wearing a battle spirit garment, handsome and full of energy.
Seeing Jiang Chen approaching, he sneered disdainfully and said, "I thought your bones were so hard, but it turns out you are still a greedy person afraid of death."
These words are puzzling. Isn't Jiang Chen here? Why do you still say that others are afraid of death?
Shui Chun quickly cleared everyone's doubts and heard him say: "Let the Hall of Heroes come to my father and tell me that I will only defeat but not kill. If it's not you, then who is it?"
It turned out that Great Elder Shui Yuan did not tell him everything, but just asked him not to kill Jiang Chen.
Shui Chun was very dissatisfied, thinking that Jiang Chen was behind the scenes.
He was unable to resist the Hall of Heroes, but he didn't mind speaking out so that others could see Jiang Chen's true face.
Those who understood what was going on looked at Jiang Chen again. Being able to kill Zhao Yajun in front of everyone's attention and still stay in the Hall of Heroes safely in the end, even though he said he wanted to kill the people on the Demon Exterminator List, compared to being executed or being driven away directly.
The punishment for leaving the Hall of Heroes is considered very light.
So Jiang Chen has the ability to do what Shui Chun said.
"Haha, the palace master also told me that he will only defeat but not kill. Did you beg your father to let the Heroes Hall intervene?" Jiang Chen said.
"These two people."
The great elders in the secret couldn't help but shake their heads. The palace master acted secretly just to want the whole matter to be solved perfectly and without any trace.
The result was good. It was better to intervene directly than to say it so carelessly.
This is completely self-righteous by Wei Shuichun, and he still does so now.
"Hahahaha, you must have a limit to your harsh words. I am restrained only if I have the ability to kill you. You are the one who was killed. Will the Hall of Heroes say more to you? What a joke!" Shui Chun said.
The Hall of Heroes asked Jiang Chen not to kill Shui Chun because they thought he was capable of killing him.
Shui Chun didn't agree with this at all, and neither did the people present.
Only one person believed what Jiang Chen said.
That is Ying Wushuang!
After fighting with Jiang Chen that day, she was completely stunned.
She always thought that she was stronger than Jiang Chen because she was at the second level of Tongtian Realm.
The result was good, Jiang Chen used the power of wind and thunder, and she had no power to resist at all.
In the end, because there were too many differences, it ended without helping Jiang Chen adapt to his own wind and thunder power.
However, Ying Wushuang also confirmed that Jiang Chen's calmness was not due to ignorance, but to self-confidence.
"What you said will turn into a joke in less than half an hour, swallowing it like broken teeth." Jiang Chen said.
Shui Chun shrugged, naturally not believing it, and raised his arms casually, saying: "The facts will tell people who are the weak, ugly wretches."
"The wild tide opens up the wilderness!"
This time, it was his turn to make the first move, and it was a sure move.
Now he is not at the lake, there is no water source, but with the waving of his arms, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth turns into clear water, merges with the palm movements, and then is pushed out, with the power of destroying the heaven and the earth.
"What a strong slap!"
Everyone present was not an ordinary person, but they were also shocked by the power of this palm.
