Chapter 1725: No Exit!

To Qiu Li, this didn’t seem to be an excessive request. After all, he was an Extraordinary Supreme Venerable, even nobler than an emperor.

Compared to the pain of the loss he was bearing at the moment, demanding Ye Siyue accompany Long Teng seemed to him a small punishment.

It didn’t mean that he was going to let the Yes off once Ye Siyue had died.

However, if the Yes refused even this small request, he would take it as a challenge to his dignity.

“Your Excellency, please forgive us!” The lord of the City in the Sky had completely lost the domineering attitude he had showed in front of Jiang Chen. In fact, it looked as if he had aged dozens of years in a second.

“I won’t f*cking forgive anyone. You’re not the only person who thinks your child is precious!”

Qiu Li lost his temper. The Extraordinary Supreme Venerable’s energy broke out like a sudden thunderbolt. The City in the Sky shook violently.

Qiu Li raised his right hand to slap it across the city lord’s face.

The city lord gnashed his teeth. He didn’t dare dodge the slap at all. He just let the slap send him flying.

If Qiu Li was treating even the distinguished city lord this way, the plain folks realized the situation was not going to be going in their favor.

Those from Danqing Tower exchanged glances, not daring to act recklessly. Qi Lie was the strongest among them, but even he wasn’t a match for Qiu Li.

“Father!” Ye Siyue screamed. She flung herself upon her father’s body.

Then Ye Sizhu, in spite of her disguise, also ran out of the crowd toward her father.

“You are…Sizhu?”

Under her father’s surprised gaze, Ye Sizhu removed her disguise.

The crowd went into an uproar, wondering why this second young lady would have showed up here, since they’d heard that she’d been abducted.

“Okay, how do you explain this?!” Qiu Li closed his fists. His temper was on the verge of flaring out at the city lord again.

The city lord had just told him that the murderer had not only killed Long Teng, but had also abducted Ye Sizhu.

But now Ye Sizhu turned out to be here!

“None of the Yes are going to survive today!” yelled Qiu Li.

The Yes all turned pale.

“Sister, where is your hero, Jiang Chen?”

By this point, Ye Siyue was completely desperate. She threw her younger sister a blaming look. None of this would have happened if Jiang Chen had never showed up at their house.

Ye Sizhu was dazed. She looked as if she didn’t know what to do or say.

“Die!” Qiu Li was going to have to kill someone to reestablish his prestige and to vent his anger.

He locked onto Ye Siyue.

The Yes blamed everything on Jiang Chen.

But Qiu Li believed it was all Ye Siyue’s fault.

If Long Teng hadn’t been so obsessed with this woman, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

With this thought in his mind, Qiu Li launched a decisive attack. It was a deadly attack from an Extraordinary Supreme Venerable. The ground in the square outside of the city lord’s mansion immediately broke up into millions of cracks.

The onlookers couldn’t bear to watch. They looked away.

Closing her eyes, Ye Siyue had given up.

WHOOSH!

A brilliant sword radiance fell in front of Ye Siyue to protect her.

Qiu Li’s fatal attack was completely destroyed by the brilliant sword radiance.

“Who?!” Qiu Li’s eyes opened wide. He was stunned and started looking around warily.

“Me.”

Those from the Danqing Tower all turned pale, because the voice came from among them.

While they were trying to figure out who the owner of the sword was, they looked in shock at the youngest Immortal Alchemist they had ever met.

“Are you asking to die?” Qi Lie asked involuntarily, frowning. Then he regretted immediately that he had said that. He shouldn’t have worried about that guy.

Despite everyone’s reactions, Jiang Chen strode up to Qiu Li.

“Who are you?” asked Qiu Li.

All the onlookers stared at Jiang Chen. Since he was disguised, Yao Qing and her companions couldn’t recognize him.

“This sword…”

However, Yao Qing found the Heaven-Punishing Sword familiar. It looked like the sword of the man she’d been looking for.

“The man you are looking for.”

Then Jiang Chen’s real face appeared right under Yao Qing and the others’ noses.

Except for a few people, most people didn’t know what these faces represented.

Yao Qing and Meng Shixiong exchanged a look. Forcing their way through the crowd, they came onto the square.

“Your Excellency, he is the person who killed Long Teng!” Feng Qianxun, the housekeeper of the city lord’s mansion, said excitedly.

“What? So then he is also the man who abducted the second young lady of the city lord’s mansion?” Those from Danqing Tower were all surprised.

However, on second thought, this second young lady didn’t look like she had been abducted. Instead, she looked as if she’d really enjoyed staying with Jiang Chen.

“Really?”

Qiu Li couldn’t readily believe any of the claims of the people from the city lord’s mansion anymore. Neither would he kill some irrelevant person just to vent his anger while the real murderer stayed unpunished.

“It was me indeed. Your apprentice was as arrogant as you are. I punched him in the head.”

Regardless of the angry expression on Qiu Li’s face, Jiang Chen went on, “However, I didn’t go all out when I punched him. He was actually killed by a mysterious second punch.”

“As for the reason, I suspect that the murderer expected Long Teng’s death to cause conflicts between you and the city lord,” he answered seriously, disregarding Qiu Li’s face that had gone very red.

“Is he asking for death?” Qi Lie thought.

“Bring Long Teng’s dead body here!” Gnashing his teeth, Qiu Li resisted the urge to give Jiang Chen a beating, because the truth seemed more important to him than that.

Nobody from the city lord’s mansion had the nerve to say no. One of them ran inside right away.

“Oh, no! Long Teng’s body has been burned!”

The tense atmosphere had been alleviated a little by then, but the news brought by the man who had gone to fetch the body made everyone tremble with fear again.

AAAHHH!

Qiu Li shouted at the sky for a long time. He looked as if he was going to start running amok.

“It means the killer is scared. It also proves my theory,” said Jiang Chen.

All the onlookers started looking at him weirdly. They didn’t understand how Jiang Chen could stay so calm.

“Did he think he would stay safe because he had explained that he wasn’t the murderer?”

“Didn’t he see that the Yes, who’d actually done nothing wrong, also needed to pay a price?”

“Go to h*ll!” Qiu Li went into action immediately. He clutched at the air. His giant iron claw smashed the air before him into pieces. Then it moved toward Jiang Chen.

By then, the no-fighting rule of the City in the Sky had become totally useless.

“So, no matter whether I killed your apprentice or not, you are going to kill me anyway?” asked Jiang Chen.

It was self-evident to other people. They all thought Jiang Chen had asked a stupid question.

Qiu Li did not speak. His look was extremely cold.

“Well, keep thinking I’m the killer then. And I’ll send you to reunite with your apprentice, so that you can hear the answer from him in person.”

Then Jiang Chen grasped the Heaven-Punishing Sword, which he had left sticking into the ground next to him.

It was also at this moment that his temperament had an abrupt change. His sword energy soared into the clouds. His black hair started blowing in the wind. His handsome face looked extremely intimidating.

“You think you can be presumptuous in front of me just because you are an Extraordinary Supreme Venerable?”

He unsheathed his sword and threw it over as he spoke.

His sword energy traveled 30,000 miles. The sword radiance converged at one point to break the giant iron claw with one strike.

BANG!

The shock caused by the hit made the City in the Sky fall.

“Wh…what?”

But believe it or not people were more intrigued by the strength Jiang Chen had just shown than they were by the falling city.

“Get lost!”

Then Jiang Chen jumped up and rushed at Qiu Li.

When they were only three miles away from each other, they both suddenly disappeared.

The crowd was shocked. They looked around and soon found that the two were up in the air.

“What?”

Those from the city lord’s mansion looked at each other, petrified. They hadn’t forgotten that the City in the Sky was currently in lockdown: entrance only and no exit!
