Dragon-Marked War God

Chapter 2983: Jiang Chen Overestimated Himself

“Where is Jiang Chen?”

Qian Renji’s voice resounded through the Thunder Cloud Zone, hence Jiang Chen showed up. He knew that the expedition was just around the corner.

“I am pleased to meet you, Master Ji. Jiang Chen is here.”

Jiang Chen greeted Master Ji with a fist and palm salute.

“Let us dispense with formalities. Most of them are gathering outside the Profound Connection Divine Palace now. We will set off as soon as everyone is here.”

Qian Renji said.

“Alright.”

Jiang Chen answered and nodded his head.

“But you have to be careful this time, the disciples from the Inner Palace are all Half-step Hierarchs and the expedition will be very private. Among them, there are two instructors that you should be familiar with, Master Chi Haifei and Master Yang Xikuan who you saved once. Besides that, Sheng Kun and Sheng Bing, who are also indebted to you for your kindness, will be the main forces of this journey.”

Qian Renji informed Jiang Chen. It seemed like the expedition was not as simple as what he thought.

There were more than ten people gathered in the Inner Palace, but Jiang Chen did not see any familiar faces. Among the thirteen of them, there were five who had reached the Hierarch Realm and the rest were Half-step Hierarchs. Apparently, their strength was extraordinarily formidable and irresistible.

“Master Ji, since when has a Divine King joined our team?”

A young man from the Inner Palace said with a cold smile, his words sounded scornful. The weakest disciple among them was at least a Half-step Hierarch except Jiang Chen, who was merely a Divine King. In their point of view, Jiang Chen would be a drag on their journey.

“Strength doesn’t mean everything.”

Qian Renji said softly.

“But strong fists is the absolute principle.”

The young man said coldly. As a Hierarch expert, he rarely met an opponent in the Inner Palace. So he tended to mock Jiang Chen when he finally got a chance to do so.

“He is currently the strongest in the Outer Palace, he is a rising star with a high reputation. Hahaha.”

“Oh really? He is the Top 1 of the Outer Palace? I wonder how he did that and how strong the Outer Palace’s Number One is?”’

“It will be no surprise to us. I guess anyone in the Inner Palace can defeat him easily.”

“Then what is special about him? There is nothing special about the Top 1 of the Outer Palace.”

Some Hierarch experts turned up their nose at Jiang Chen, and even treated him with disdain and disrespect. Meanwhile the Half-step Hierarch experts dared not make any comment as Jiang Chen was the one who had defeated Chen Long. And Chen Long had knocked down countless Half-step Hierarch experts in the Inner Palace in the past so Jiang Chen’s strength was absolutely unquestionable since he had defeated Chen Long. There was no doubt that he was a talented disciple to win the name of Outer Palace’s No.1. Moreover, Chen Long was still killed by Jiang Chen, even though he had broken through the Hierarch Realm. It showed that Jiang Chen was definitely worthy of his title.

However, Jiang Chen was nothing in front of those true Hierarch experts. He was merely a Divine King after all.

In the face of the scornful remarks, Jiang Chen looked unmoved and calm. Even Qian Renji was pissed off but Jiang Chen still managed to look cool. He did not want to get involved in a conflict as that would be meaningless. Jiang Chen was determined to develop his own strength and reach the Hierarch Realm. That was the only way to save Dragon Shisan.

“Why don’t you say something? Hahaha. Master Ji, is he really qualified to join our expedition? I am quite disappointed.”

Yue Zhangzhi said with a sneer. How dare a Divine King expert fight together with them?

“I believe that the public will be the best judge to define who is strong and who is weak. It is not your turn to make presumptuous comments here. The expedition this time is so important, so please stop making trouble.”

There was a deep frown on Qian Renji’s face. These guys were out of control. Since all of them were extraordinarily strong geniuses, there was only one way to make them bow before you and submit to your command: by defeating them.

“Keep your mouth shut, it is not your turn to decide. Who the hell are you?”

Everyone stared at Jiang Chen in astonishment. None of them expected Jiang Chen to answer back rudely to Yue Zhangzhi. At that moment, their eyes met each other and Yue Zhangzhi’s eyes were full of killing intent. How dare an Outer Palace disciple say such aggressive remarks? As one of the strong experts who ranked ninth place on the Heaven Ascension List, he could not bear such insults and rudeness at all.

Even Qian Renji took a deep breath. Nothing would happen if Jiang Chen stayed silent. But he just provoked a confrontation with Yue Zhangzhi. Jiang Chen was dead wrong for doing that. Everything was irreversible and negotiation was out of the question at this moment. A fight was unavoidable!

Yue Zhangzhi ranked ninth place on the Heaven Ascension List and he had broken through the Hierarch Realm for more than a million years, his strength was absolutely unquestionable. Although Qian Renji was trying to stop the fight, it was extremely difficult to do that. No one could simply offend the dignity of a Hierarch expert.

Yue Zhangzhi managed to hold back his anger and wore a faint smile on his face. He looked at Qian Renji and said in a deep voice.

“Master Ji, I didn’t mean to fight him but he just looked down his nose at the Inner Palace disciples and offended me. So I think I must teach him a lesson today. The weak one should never act recklessly.

“Do you think you are capable of fighting against Inner Palace experts? Please don’t be so naive and get over yourself. ”

“Who am I? Hahaha. I am going to tell you who I am. I am Yue Zhangzhi from the Inner Palace, ranked 9th on the Heaven Ascension List. I would like to challenge you.”

Qian Renji’s face turned dull. She could not constrain Yue Zhangzhi as he was a disciple from the Inner Palace and his pride was inviolable. Jiang Chen should not have said that, his words just irritated Yue Zhangzhi.

“Jiang Chen, you shouldn’t accept the challenge!”

Qian Renji transmitted the message through telepathy.

“If I don’t accept the challenge, I am afraid that his arrogance will bother me forever. In order to avoid those unnecessary troubles and nuisance, I have no other choice but to take the challenge now.”

Jiang Chen stood confidently and raised his head, making eye contact with Yue Zhangzhi. Jiang Chen was not at a disadvantage here.

“You……”

Qian Renji could do nothing anymore. Jiang Chen was digging his own grave. Even though he became the Top 1 of the Outer Palace, he was nothing compared to the Inner Palace’s disciples. There were only hundreds of disciples in the Inner Palace but each of them was extraordinarily strong and unbeatable. The strength of Hierarch experts was out of his imagination. Chen Long had not broken through the Hierarch Realm completely and he had not recovered from injuries when he was fighting against Jiang Chen. That was the main reason he lost the battle. From Qian Renji’s point of view, Jiang Chen just overestimated his strength, his judgement was blinded by the honor and reputation he had received after the Outer Palace Ranking Battle.

“If you could resist my palm, I will spare your life.”

Yue Zhangzhi said with a cold face. A blow from him was strong enough to kill a Divine King expert, but Jiang Chen was so stubborn and insisted on fighting him. Jiang Chen was kidding himself.

“If you could resist my palm, I will spare your life too.”

Jiang Chen said softly. If he did not put this guy in his place, he would never have a chance later. The only disciple from the outerPalace would end up being bullied. There was no doubt that a strong expert had dignity. But if they were planning to ride roughshod over him, they were absolutely mistaken.

Qian Renji was unable to do anything about him at the moment. It was no doubt that Jiang Chen was invincible and unbeatable in the Outer Palace Ranking Battle, but he had overestimated himself.
