The Brilliant Fighting Master

Chapter 1587: Meeting Long Xing

The fact that Jiang Chen had inferred so much information from just a few clues made the General Demon extremely wary of him.

If the reinforcements of all races hadn’t been about to happen, he would’ve traveled to the Realm of Nine Heavens to kill Jiang Chen himself.

“Cr*p.”

He swore unhappily. The General Demon was now going to return to the Alien Battlefield through the planes’ channel.

The Demons around him knew he was swearing because of the Evil Demonic King.

The Three Lower Realms had been the target of this action. They’d aimed to take thousands of creatures away.

But due to the Evil Demonic King’s failure, they’d only reached two-thirds of their goal.

The Demon Kings on the scene felt lucky, because the Realm of Nine Heavens had been assigned to another Demonic King at the time of task allocation.

However, the Evil Demonic King had been heavily injured when trying to open the channel, and he’d wanted to find the man who’d deployed the ward. Consequently, he’d gone to the Realm of Nine Heavens.

According to the information they’d received, no matter which Demon King had traveled to the Realm of Nine Heavens, he would’ve ended up in failure as well.

“General Demon, I volunteer to kill that Jiang Chen,” a Celestial Demonic Emperor suddenly spoke up.

She was a pretty woman. Her Demon energy was as strong as all the other Demons around her.

“Even the Evil Demonic King couldn’t rival Jiang Chen. How would you kill him?”

The General Demon’s reply made the female Demon speechless.

She’d only wanted to impress the General Demon and draw his attention toward her, so that her loyalty would be recognized.

However, it had produced the opposite effect.

“Forget it. We’ll find someone who will take care of this Jiang Chen.”

“And, by the way, get ready for a war.”

The General Demon led the army to the center of the Alien Battlefield after brushing her off.

Not long after the retreat of the Demon Army, the first reinforcements of all races arrived in the Realm of True Force.

The reinforcements were shocked when they saw that the whole world had been destroyed.

In the face of this catastrophe, conflicts between forces were really just trifling matters.

Facing the Blood Race and the Demons, they were dealing with real life-or-death problems.

However, the reinforcements became thrilled when they’d learned that the snow of the Spirit of the Natural Law had fallen indeed.

Regardless of races, everyone wanted to be recognized by the Natural Law. The mere thought of it made them super-excited.

Fearless of kos of thunders, blessed with good luck, the ability to land on their feet in every adventure they took: People who had these traits could reach their peak easily.

In Sacred City, Jiang Chen sent people to clean the battlefield and count the number of dead people.

They’d suffered heavy casualties in the Fire Field, the Dragon Field, and the Green Field. More than half of the population was either injured or killed.

The Heavenly Palace suffered casualties too. And it was a great number.

As its lord, Jiang Chen certainly felt sad.

These soldiers had consumed countless resources of the Heavenly Palace. Not to mention their lives. It had been many people’s first expedition.

However, that was what would happen when you led a force.

Within an acceptable range, it was necessary to let real battles eliminate the weaker ones, so that the general strength of the army would be enhanced. Those who survived this battle had gained a lot of experience and their strengths would improve very quickly.

Not to mention the Spirit of the Natural Law that had appeared.

“This battle resulted in countless broken families. Family members either died or separated. I’m analyzing pros and cons so coldly,” Jiang Chen shook his head, feeling scared for himself.

“If you were not cold and emotionless enough, or you hadn’t weighed the pros and cons, more people would’ve died,” the Azure Demon said.

“I know, but it isn’t easy to restore the peace in my mind.”

Gazing at the tragic situations that had occurred in the three fields after the battles, the three Jiang Chens had complicated feelings.

“This is what a strong man has to deal with.”

Jiang Qingyu soothed his son, the practicing body in the Fire Field, “Don’t think about those who died because of you. Think about those who are still alive because of you.”

What his father had said was quite persuasive. Jiang Chen calmed down gradually.

“Jiang Chen, what shall we do next?” After cleaning up the battlefield, Nan Gong asked the true body.

“Their failure in the Realm of Nine Heavens must’ve been a surprise for the Demons. They failed to reach their goals,” said Jiang Chen.

“You mean the Demons are going to come again?” Nan Gong tensed up. At the thought of the Demons all over the place, he really didn’t want to see them again.

“No, at least they won’t come back very soon. The reinforcements from the Three Upper Realms have arrived. The lineup is enough to attack the Alien Battlefield.”

Jiang Chen said with a small smile, “Tell the folks to prepare for a celebration. Hopefully that can relieve the sadness brought on by all the death.”

“Okay!”

Nan Gong felt assured when he’d heard that the Demons wouldn’t come back soon.

After Nan Gong had left to prepare for the celebration of the victory, another man came to visit Jiang Chen.

It was Ye Qiu, the vice leader of the Demon Slayers Palace. He was slightly acquainted with Jiang Chen.

“I just couldn’t believe it when I’d heard that the Realm of Nine Heavens had won. You really did it.”

Ye Qiu apparently had experienced a desperate battle. He hadn’t completely recovered yet.

He’d been based in the Realm of True Force. His task had been to dispatch all of the strongmen who’d come to deal with the Demons.

However, they hadn’t even hung in for 15 minutes. The rout was like a landslide.

Both his Demon Slayers Palace and other forces had sustained heavy casualties.

Seeing the grievance in the vice leader’s eyes, Jiang Chen said, “No one ever expected the Demons to be so fierce. Don’t blame yourself for that.”

“I should’ve listened to you. I really should’ve listened to you,” Ye Qiu said remorsefully.

Before the start of the invasion, Jiang Chen had emphasized again and again through the Heavenly Palace that the Demon invasion would be more intense than usual.

However, the Three Great Forces didn’t buy it. Neither did the Demon Slayers Palace.

Consequently, the soldiers sent by the Demon Slayers Palace numbered less than 1 percent of the Demon soldiers.

Failure was inevitable. And the worst part was that the Demons had taken so many people away.

“Jiang Chen!”

All of a sudden, Ye Qiu stared at Jiang Chen. He walked up to him and put his hands on Jiang Chen’s shoulders. He said emotionally, “I hope you can help us!”

He was very serious, which could be seen from how much he spit while speaking.

“But I’m afraid those who have come now won’t listen to me,” Jiang Chen said helplessly.

He had been planning things very clearly.

The Heavenly Palace and the celestial palace would act alone, while the Three Great Forces would act with the other races.

“It’s a very special time. You must put prejudice aside!”

Ye Qiu said, “The victory the Realm of Nine Heavens gained is the best proof of your might. I’ve already contacted the other forces. Most of them didn’t say no.”

“Oh? But neither did they say yes. Am I right?” Jiang Chen noticed his unnatural look when he was speaking.

“Yes. You’re right.” Ye Qiu looked frustrated.

The Three Great Forces wouldn’t accept the Heavenly Palace and the celestial palace so easily.

However, when the Demon Slayers Palace had suggested asking Jiang Chen for help, they didn’t immediately reject the idea. Because they were waiting for other forces to reject it first. They just didn’t want to bear any responsibility.

They had been amazed indeed by the victory Jiang Chen had gained in the Realm of Nine Heavens. He had proved himself.

If they didn’t invite Jiang Chen to join them in the end, the force that said no might get complaints in the later battles with the Demons.

“However, Long Xing from the Sovereign Spirit Palace said we could collaborate. But he wants to meet you in person,” Ye Qiu added.

“Long Xing?!”

Jiang Chen was shocked. He didn’t expect to hear this name.

“He wants me to meet him? He’s here?” asked Jiang Chen.

“Yes. He’s in the Realm of True Force.” Ye Qiu had no idea why Jiang Chen was reacting like this.
