Chapter 2444: Destroying the City Lord’s Estate (One)

Obviously, the many cultivators on the street saw this. All of them looked at the young lady with sympathy and pity as she was taken away, but none of them dared to stand up and stop the group.

It was as if the Deities who took away the young lady struck great fear in the hearts of many of the G.o.ds and OverG.o.ds present. They were afraid of provoking them.

Jian Chen’s eyes turned cold at the sight of this. With a flash, he arrived before the people and asked emotionlessly, “May I ask what crimes this sister has committed and why you want to take her away?”

The Deities were all stunned when they saw Jian Chen block their way. However, they sneered soon afterwards. One of them scoffed, “Kid, do you know who we are? It’s best if you mind your own business, or you won’t be walking out of Scarlet Water City alive.”

“Sir, these are the subordinates of the young city lord. You can’t afford to offend them…” At the same time, many of the cultivators communicated with Jian Chen secretly.

As soon as Jian Chen heard them mention the young city lord, he immediately understood everything. His eyes became frosty, and he said coldly, “Let her go.”

Seeing how Jian Chen insisted on standing in their way, the young city lord’s subordinates were angered, and their faces sank. Immediately, three of them drew low quality saint artifacts and howled as they charged towards Jian Chen aggressively.

Jian Chen was indifferent. He only swung his hand casually, and the street immediately became filled with dazzling light. Sharp sword Qi had already enveloped all of the young city lord’s subordinates.

Immediately, the three low quality saint artifact shattered under the light, reduced to dust. Under the sword Qi, the Deities who were taking the young lady away seemed to be carved up. Their flesh began to vanish as their bones turned to dust.

In an instant, all the Deities vanished. They were reduced to nothingness under the light.

However, they were still alive. Their souls hovered there blankly as they stared at Jian Chen in fear.

Jian Chen had only destroyed their bodies, not their souls.

The bustling street fell silent. Everyone could not help but stop on the two sides of the street as they stared at the souls floating in the air. They were shocked and felt emotional turmoil.

Destroying the bodies of a few Deities was nothing difficult. The OverG.o.ds in the crowd could easily achieve the same thing.

However, destroying their bodies as easily and casually as Jian Chen, with just a simple gesture, was simply too shocking.

“Y- y- you wait here…” At this moment, the souls finally returned to their senses. After throwing that down, they immediately flew towards the city lord’s estate.

As if he had just completed a small task, Jian Chen ignored the flying souls and slowly made his way over to the young lady. He asked, “Are you fine?”

The young lady was extremely pale. Fear and dread filled her face. She could not help but pull away from Jian Chen, and she said with a trembling voice, “I- I- I-” She wanted to tell him she was fine, but she was unable to utter the last two words with her trembling voice.

After all, she was only a teenager. She had never experienced something like that, so her mental fort.i.tude obviously was not tough. She had been stunned by what had just happened.

“Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, no one in Scarlet Water City will be able to harm you,” Jian Chen said softly.

Xu Ran stood to one side and watched everything unfold. She did not say anything at all. In her eyes, Jian Chen’s actions were completely pointless.

Who knows how many years she had cultivated already and who knows how many times she had seen matters similar to this. As a result, she had already grown numb to it all. She could never take pity on people like Jian Chen.

At this moment, a pressure appeared. From the direction of the city lord’s estate, over a hundred armored soldiers flew over under the lead of an old man.

“Caretaker He, it’s him. He’s the one who destroyed our bodies,” a soul said loudly from beside the old man.

Even without the old man’s orders, the soldiers behind him all surged forth and surrounded Jian Chen and the young lady.

The young lady was nervous. She was terrified as her body trembled.

“Don’t be scared.” Jian Chen placed his arm on the young lady’s shoulder gently and comforted her.

“Sir, who are you? How dare you injure people of our city lord’s estate in Scarlet Water City? How bold of you,” the old man hovered three metres in the air and called out coldly.

“What crimes has this young lady committed? Why do you want to take her away?” Jian Chen stared straight at the old man.

The old man immediately snorted coldly in response. “It’s all up to our city lord to decide who we want to take and what crimes we want to charge them with. However, you have committed a crime punishable by death—you injured the people of our city lord’s estate.” With that, the old man waved his hand and ordered, “Capture this person. If he resists, kill him on the spot.”

Immediately, all the cultivators gathered in the surroundings moved far away. The many structures that stood around the street activated their formations at that moment as well. The soldiers who surrounded Jian Chen and the young lady immediately fell into a battle formation. Powerful energy surged towards Jian Chen aggressively.

“Is the city lord’s estate of the Scarlet Water City this unreasonable? If that’s the case, there’s no need for the city lord’s estate to exist any longer,” Jian Chen said coldly. He directly ignored the formation that the soldiers stood in.

Even though many of the soldiers were G.o.ds and their formation could threaten OverG.o.ds, it was still nothing in Jian Chen’s eyes.

He swung his hand just like before and collapsed the formation, heavily injuring over a hundred soldiers in a single moment. Afterwards, he arrived before the old man like a ghost with a single movement. Before the old man could even react, Jian Chen grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up.

The old man was shocked. Only now did he realise just how terrifying of an expert he had provoked. As he was filled with fear, he forced out with great difficulty, “The Scarlet Water City is the territory of the Gloomwater sect, and our city lord is an envoy of the Gloomwater sect with a very great status. If you offend us, that’s offending the Gloomwater sect. The Gloomwater sect will never spare you.”

He would have been better off not mentioning the Gloomwater sect, but now that he did, Jian Chen’s killing intent immediately skyrocketed.

Originally, he had no intentions of killing the old man, but Jian Chen struggled to contain his killing intent after the old man mentioned the Gloomwater sect.

The hand that grasped the old man’s neck suddenly flashed with sword Qi. A strand of sharp sword Qi directly punched through his head, killing him on the spot.
