Chapter 18 - Mockery

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.

“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.”

“His status shouldn’t be low. Otherwise, Fairy Yan wouldn’t have fallen out with Cang Yun for him!”

“Tsk tsk. This Cang Yun is really pitiful. He’s being toyed with by the two of them!”

“Cang Yun was so arrogant just now. Now, he’s in such a sorry state!”

“Really pitiful. But I like it!”

“Hahaha. I like to see these foreign races flustered and exasperated.”

The crowd was openly discussing now, amused by Jiang Chen’s provocations. They realized that Jiang Chen must have his own backing to dare such behavior. And with Yan Ruyu echoing his stance, it indicated that his status was much higher than hers, or perhaps she had fallen for him.

Of course, it was also possible that Yan Ruyu was in love with the other party. That’s why she acted like this. They were more inclined to the former. The latter was unrealistic. After all, Yan Ruyu was famous for being difficult to deal with. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to make Yan Ruyu submit.

In the end, the crowd didn’t have enough imagination.

Why couldn’t it be both?

“You’re courting death!” Cang Yun couldn’t bear it anymore. He reached out his hand and slapped towards Jiang Chen.

A terrifying aura burst out. Dazzling divine light filled the air as if it had materialized. It contained a powerful attack and swept across the surroundings, covering the entire space. Under the vast pressure, a faint dragon roar could be heard.

True King Realm.

If it was because of Yan Ruyu, Cang Yun could still bear it for the sake of his so-called demeanor. But now, Yan Ruyu and Jiang Chen were on the same side. Cang Yun couldn’t bear it anymore.

“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.”
