The Transcendent Immortal - Chapter 505

Chapter 505 The Jiang Manor

Jiang Qianqian was still falling, holding up her hands. It seemed that at this moment, she finally felt what it was like to be stared in the face by death. When everyone’s heart almost hopped out of their mouths, suddenly, there was a heaven-shaking dragon roar.

Suddenly, a more than 30 meters long golden dragon shadow rushed out from Xiao Chen’s right arm and entangled Jiang Qianqian in an instant. It was the Dragon-taming Divine Method that he created himself. In combination with the psychokinesis and the palm strength of the Dragon Roar Palm, Xiao Chen formed a dragon shadow, which could be used to bind the enemy.

In the distance, everyone’s eyes were wide open, and they held their breath. For one thing, it was a thrilling moment. For another, they had never seen such a magical method before.

“Go!” Xiao Chen thundered and instantly threw Jiang Qianqian to Jiang Bietian below. But at the same time, the core power of the Fighting Platform finally rushed up. Xiao Chen exerted the Immortal-override Steps to the extreme, trying to escape as far away as possible. However, he was a step late.

“Boom!”

There was an earth-shattering explosion as the entire Fighting Platform finally exploded. The sky above the square instantly shone with boundless radiance. The intense light made it hard for anyone to open their eyes. Under the shock, the dust within a radius of a dozen kilometers raised in all directions.

Under the impact of this powerful force, the buildings around the square were turned into flying ashes. At this moment, countless people worked together to hold up the Barrier to resist this horrible impact.

In the distance, Chu Qi’s eyes seemed about to pop out and her face suddenly changed. She moved her feet and rushed toward the explosion point in midair, but how could she get any closer to there with such a strong impact force? Two elders, Perfected Immortal Zixuan and Perfected Immortal Qingyuan, who were in the peak of the Apotheosis Realm, also instantly rushed up to save Xiao Chen. However, the tremendous force also pushed them back.

At this moment, Perfected Immortal Chongyang also rushed up. Only he could go up there. In the distance, everyone held their breath in deep concentration, greatly shocked. After all, such a powerful impact was comparable to a mighty blow from a Grand Completion Realm cultivator. It could even destroy the body and soul of an Apotheosis Realm cultivator.

A moment later, as the impact finally dissipated, Perfected Immortal Chongyang landed on the ground from midair, holding Xiao Chen in his arms. Immediately, many people came up and surrounded them. Xiao Chen’s eyes tightly closed, and his clothes were torn into pieces. His chest no longer rose and fell—he had stopped breathing.

“Xiao… young hero Xiao.” Jiang Bietian squeezed through the crowd and quickly walked up to them. He looked at Xiao Chen in a daze and then looked at Perfected Immortal Chongyang.

Perfected Immortal Chongyang let out a long sigh and finally shook his head. At this moment, he looked sorrowful as if he had lost a great talent.

The wind gradually stopped, and everyone nearby also fell silent. Under the impact of that terrifying force, it was already a miracle of miracles that his body could still be completely intact.

Not far away, Jiang Qianqian’s eyes were a little red. Of course, it was not because she was moved, but instead, she was scared. At this moment, she was still trembling with fear. She had never seen such a horrible explosive force in her life. If Xiao Chen hadn’t sent her down at the last minute, she would have died already.

“Get out of the way!” Chu Qi suddenly rushed up and strode fast to Perfected Immortal Chongyang. At this moment, she was still expressionless. But when she looked at Xiao Chen, a sad look still emerged on her face. Then she clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles creaked. Meanwhile, she glared at Jiang Qianqian in the near distance with her horrifying, ice-cold eyes.

Jiang Qianqian was still in shock, and when she was stared at by Chu Qi’s horrifying eyes, she was so scared that she stepped back a little. At this time, Yang Qing and others also rushed over. “Brother… Brother Xiao…”

After taking a deep breath, Chu Qi said calmly, “Give him to me.”

Without saying much, Perfected Immortal Chongyang slowly handed Xiao Chen to her. At this point, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and a red light flashed through his pupils.

“What’s going on?!”

Everyone was shocked, and the crowd immediately became noisy. They were talking animatedly about it. “Can he stay alive even after being hit by such a horrible force?” “Does he have an Undead Body?”

Perfected Immortal Chongyang was obviously shocked, too. Even though his cultivation was profound, he also showed a shocking look at the moment. “It was true that Xiao Chen had no vital signs just now. But it seemed that he managed to come back to life within such a short period! How did it happen?”

But now, Xiao Chen was still a little weak, and his mind seemed to be somewhat unconscious. He said with difficulty, “One, one hundred…” Before he could finish his words, he fainted again.

“What was he talking about? White?” The crowd was very surprised. Only Jiang Qianqian knew what he was talking about. She couldn’t help but frown. “He is going to die, but he still thought of the million Spirit Stones. Is he a miser?”

At this time, Perfected Immortal Chongyang still looked very dignified. He couldn’t figure out what was going on. After taking a deep breath, he said to Jiang Bietian, “Ask some people to deal with the matter here first and to see if there are any casualties.”

At night, under the flickering candlelight in the City Master’s Manor, Perfected Immortal Chongyang’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he said, “It’s really strange. I’ve never seen anyone who could return to life after death.”

Jiang Bietian asked, “Is it possible that he played dead?”

Perfected Immortal Chongyang pondered for a long time and nodded. “Such a thing cannot be ruled out. But under the impact of such a powerful force… Well, it’s good that he’s fine. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m going back tomorrow.” After that, he walked out of the hall. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head and added, “This boy’s background can’t be that simple, but he’s not a bad person.”

…

Three days later, Xiao Chen finally woke up. In a daze, he opened his eyes and found himself lying on an exquisite wooden bed. The layout of the room was also excellent. Two pots of orchids were placed on the windowsill, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead. “This should be the Jiang Manor, right?” He sat up from the bed and thought, “In the end, I sent Jiang Qianqian down that day. Then she must have landed first, which means that I won eventually. So, the million Spirit Stones should belong to me now, right?”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt very happy in his heart, and hence he was not so courteous. He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea. The teapot was still hot. Obviously, someone had just changed it.

“The Jiang family is really rich. I am also a City Master. Why do I still live in poverty?” Xiao Chen looked up and down this exquisite guest room while drinking his tea. Even the curtains in this room were made of fine silks and purple agates.

Finally, Xiao Chen rubbed his left shoulder again. It seemed that his arm was fine again. Then, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. A woman’s cold voice followed. “You, stop! You! Go to see if the miser has woken up!”

Xiao Chen frowned. “It is Jiang Qianqian.” Then, he heard the timid voice of another woman. “Ah? But Miss… master doesn’t allow us to enter Young Master Xiao’s courtyard… Or, Miss, you can…”

“I ask you to go, and then you go! My father even asked me to thank him in person. What a fantastic idea! Once the miser is in my sight, I’ll be annoyed!”

“Oh, okay…”

Xiao Chen unfolded his eyebrows and smiled. He slowly walked to the door. “Squeak!” The door opened just as the maid came over to knock on it. Seeing that the door opened by itself, she was greatly shocked and retreated. But when she looked up and saw that it was Xiao Chen, she muttered, “Master… Master Xiao, you’re awake. Miss… Miss Jiang wants me to…”

Xiao Chen faced the sun and stretched lazily. He smiled and said, “I’m all right. Thanks to someone, I survived.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qianqian had already appeared at the door of the courtyard. She looked at him coldly and said, “If everything is okay, get out of here quickly. Don’t hang on to my home!”

“Miss, why are you so rude? I saved your life that day. It’s OK if you don’t want to thank me, but how can you drive me away?”

Xiao Chen would definitely say that if it was in the past when he first came to the Violet Manor. But now, Xiao Chen just looked at her with a smile. Then he lazily stretched himself and yawned, “I’ll go to get my Spirit Stones, a million Spirit Stones!”

“You!” Jiang Qianqian was so angry that she gnashed her white teeth. If it weren’t for him, how could she lose? Although she also got an offer of the Cloud Mist Academy, she didn’t win it by winning the first place of the Sword Tryout. It made her felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. But by contrast, Xiao Chen participated in the Sword Tryout only to win the million Spirit Stones. In this case, she felt like she had eaten two flies in a row.

The more Jiang Qianqian thought about it, the angrier she became. With a clanging sound, she pulled out the sword hanging by her waist and stabbed at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen smiled faintly. After putting his right hand behind his back, he put the two fingers of his left hand together. “Clank!” He clamped her long sword that was thrusting at him.

“You!” Jiang Qianqian gritted her teeth. Xiao Chen’s cultivation was brought down, so they were somewhat on a par when they were in the Fighting Platform. Now, she was certainly no match for Xiao Chen. The sword seemed to be stuck between Xiao Chen’s two fingers. She couldn’t pull it out or send it in to stab him.

The maid next to him was so scared that her face had already turned pale. Xiao Chen smiled gently and deliberately tilted his left hand to one side. As a result, Jiang Qianqian was pulled a little aside. Then Xiao Chen returned to the middle, and so Jiang Qianqian was immediately brought back to the middle.

“You! You…” Jiang Qianqian was so angry that she could not speak. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Well, Miss Jiang, I have to get my Spirit Stones, so I won’t play with you.” Then, he let go of the sword and Jiang Qianqian immediately stepped back a few steps.

“I’ll kill you!” Jiang Qianqian broke into a furious rage. She swung her sword at his left arm, vigorously to the extreme. In an instant, she formed a three-foot-long sword radiance. Xiao Chen smiled lightly, pressing his fingers together and flicking in the direction of her sword. However, at this moment, his left arm suddenly became numb and he couldn’t exert any strength.

The sword was about to cut off his arm in a split-second. But suddenly, a cold light came from outside the courtyard. “Clank!” Jiang Qianqian’s sword was pushed away a little. “Poom!” A stone table next to her was directly smashed.

A figure appeared in a flash. It was Chu Qi who hurried over.

“Master.” She called out.

Xiao Chen had hardly recovered from the shock and looked at his left shoulder. It seemed that everything was fine now. “What happened just now? And what happened on the Fighting Platform that day? What happened to my left arm? Didn’t Sister Bai reattach it for me last time?”

“I’m fine.” After a while, Xiao Chen calmed down and looked at Jiang Qianqian. Then he walked out of the courtyard. Chu Qi followed him closely and asked in a low voice, “Are we going to meet City Master Jiang now?”

“Of course I’ll go to see him. He still owes me a million Spirit Stones! He can never expect to send me away just by a daughter of him! But if he sends two of his daughters to me, I can think about that.” Xiao Chen deliberately looked at the inside of the yard. After that, he laughed loudly and swaggered off with his hands behind his back.

“A shameless man…” Jiang Qianqian gnashed her teeth with anger, her chest rising and falling constantly. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had never been humiliated like this. She swore that she must improve her cultivation as soon as possible and teach this person a good lesson.
