Chapter 969 - Born 15 Years Early

Words : 2153 Author : Deep Feelings

Chapter 969 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts revealing the story: Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the young cultivator couldn’t withstand the provocation and... Don’t miss it!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the young cultivator couldn’t withstand the provocation and began to step onto the platform, “Good!I’ll take you on…”

But someone quickly covered his mouth.

His master forcefully restrained him and soon dragged him away from there.

Even Ji Shaoqing, who possessed the Heavenly Gate Power, had been defeated; this young cultivator was not particularly prominent within the sect—what could he possibly use to fight?

Mere passion?

How long could he withstand?

He might be hot-blooded, but his master could not stand by and watch him march to his death.

“Perhaps I am being too excessive today; I admit I am filled with resentment.

But I have always held great respect for Diao Hai Building.

The respect I have for Diao Hai Building should be apparent to all.

I have begged everywhere…I have never straightened my back on the End of the World Platform, constantly pleading.

I only want one chance, to redeem myself through action.

If you ask me to kill the commander-level Sea Clan, I will do it.

No matter how many you ask me to kill, I will do it.”

“I stayed in the Lost World for nine days and earned eleven thousand three hundred merit points.

Do you all grasp what that number signifies?

If I were to kill soldier-level Sea Clan, I would need to kill eleven thousand three hundred of them!

I gambled with my life!”

“But when I returned after risking my life, to take my suffering friend with me.

He said…”

Jiang Wang pointed at Ji Shaoqing and said, “He told me, ‘Brother Jiang, it’s my duty, don’t blame me…’ What kind of nonsense duty!”

He roared, “I cannot believe that the Tower Master, a true True Monarch, would play such a trick on a junior like me, sending me to the Lost World to fight to the death while letting someone who shouldn’t die end up dead here!

I cannot believe that Diao Hai Building, a major sect that controls much under heaven, would be so unreasonable, so indifferent to the peace of the Sea Islands, and would find some pretext to send a Grade-4 green badge of Qi Country to his death!”

The two points he made were ones Diao Hai Building would not acknowledge, especially not in front of Jiang Mengxiong’s will.

Thus, Jiang Wang continued, “A blood debt must be paid in blood, which is why I must ensure Ji Shaoqing dies.”

He stood up, straight and proper, and bowed in all four directions before saying, “I hate Ji Shaoqing, but I still respect Diao Hai Building, respect its history and glory.

So anyone who feels injusticed on his behalf because they hold resentment, I can understand.

I am also willing to accept it.

I can kill a man, and others can kill me.

If I die here today, I will not cry injustice.”

His speech carried depth, conviction, attitude, and position.

He also left himself vulnerable, providing Diao Hai Building with an open opportunity to kill him.

Diao Hai Building is not a small sect that can be easily dismissed.

Jiang Wang’s willingness to accept the life-and-death challenge from all Inner Mansion level cultivators was not out of arrogance.

It was to give Diao Hai Building a way to vent—today I killed Ji Shaoqing, and you can kill me in the same way.

This is fair.

Whether I can be killed or not, however, is another matter.

He was, in fact, providing a justification for his actions in killing Ji Shaoqing.

Even if it was just returning the favor in the same manner to Ji Shaoqing, he still needed to provide a justification.

That is the weight the name “Diao Hai Building” carries behind Ji Shaoqing.

Indeed, if it wasn’t for the backing of Qi Country, today’s duel would have no semblance of fairness.

This is even though both parties had staked their lives.

There is no absolute fairness in this world, and Jiang Wang has always been willing to respect the existing rules—at least until he has the ability to change them, he prefers to respect the rules rather than challenge them.

But at the same time, his way of avoiding further escalating the conflict with Diao Hai Building was also because he was fairly confident—conflicts were already irreconcilable, but at least for now, he didn’t need to be on Diao Hai Building’s kill-on-sight list.

Among the younger generation of Diao Hai Building cultivators, there were certainly those stronger than him.

For instance, Chen Zhitao, who is now in the Divine Arrival Realm, much stronger than him.

But if limited to the Inner Mansion Realm level, against anyone, he still had the power to fight.

Even if the opponent possessed the four divine skills of the Four Mansions or even the legendary five divine skills of Tianfu.

The number of divine skills is one aspect, their effects another, and their application yet another.

In a deathmatch, Jiang Wang dared to draw his sword against anyone!

Ji Shaoqing, who possessed the Heavenly Gate Power, was already an absolute powerhouse at the Inner Mansion level.

And Jiang Wang defeated him without even using the Astray Path!

Of course, the Flat Step Qingyun Immortal Technique happened to perfectly counteract the suppression from Heavenly Gate, but even without resorting to Flat Step Qingyun, Jiang Wang thought he could still create opportunities with the Astray Path and win the battle.

It simply wasn’t worth revealing in front of so many people.

Zhuang Chenggan, renowned all his life, and no one knew he had the Deviant Path Technique.

It was precisely because of this that he could remain undefeated.

Putting everything else aside, the deep patience and secrecy he mastered were worth Jiang Wang’s emulation.

The Deviant Path is most effective when others are unaware of it.

What made people silent was…

Once Jiang Wang spoke up, expressing his willingness to accept any life-death challenge from Inner Mansion level cultivators, the young cultivators, who had been stirred up, suddenly fell quiet.

Having anger and resentment, blaming, despising, even cursing, are all common responses.

Deciding life and death in a moment of anger is also a matter of courage.

However, when given time to think, to weigh the options, and with Jiang Wang promising that he would refuse no challenge, anyone with resentment had to reconsider—

Am I an opponent for Ji Shaoqing?

Can I withstand the Heavenly Gate Power?

If even Ji Shaoqing couldn’t be defeated, what qualification was there to contend for life and death with Jiang Wang?

Many dare to engage in a life-death fight, but who can calmly embrace a meaningless death—merely to add to Jiang Wang’s fame and annotate his victory over Diao Hai Building, providing no value, no purpose?

The vast Diao Hai Building would certainly have a few strong cultivators of the Inner Mansion Realm.

Someone like Xu Yuan was not weaker than Ji Shaoqing, but only just so.

Facing Jiang Wang, he also had no confidence.

Moreover, what kind of relationship did he have with Ji Shaoqing?

Both emotionally and materially, he only needed to watch from the sidelines.

As for Chongguang Zhenren and Qin Zhen Zhenren, their most outstanding disciples had already reached the Outer Building or even the Divine Arrival Realm.

Among those in the Inner Mansion Realm, there really was no one who could say they were stronger than Ji Shaoqing.

The young cultivators of the Diao Hai Building remained silent, and so naturally, the cultivators from various sects and the loose cultivators without any affiliations could only keep their mouths shut.

To boast at this moment was almost tantamount to seeking death.

Whether it was the Diao Hai Building or Qi Country, which Jiang Wang represented, they were not forces to be trifled with.

Chen Zhitao could no longer remain silent.

In front of so many people, Jiang Wang was almost slaughtering Ji Shaoqing, and then with a single word, he stopped hundreds of people, making the whole scene deathly silent… This greatly damaged the dignity of the Diao Hai Building.

But what can be done?

The rules of a duel to the death were clear, and the war gloves of Daqi’s God of War were held high in the sky.

With his cultivation at the Divine Arrival Realm, he truly had no possibility of intervening.

Chen Zhitao gazed deeply at Jiang Wang and then said, “Daoist Jiang’s youthful spirit truly reminds me of my younger days.

If I had been born fifteen years later, I would have kept Daoist Jiang here.”

The cultivators of Diao Hai Building were invigorated by this.

Yes, they still had their eldest senior brother!

Even if Jiang Wang was audacious, he dared only to accept opponents from the Inner Mansion Realm.

The true prodigies, who lingers in the Inner Mansion Realm!

If Elder Brother Chen had been born fifteen years later and was also at the Inner Mansion level, he could certainly have subdued him!

Could any Qi Country prodigy be a match for Elder Brother Chen?

It was only because of the generational gap that the young pinnacle prodigy of Diao Hai Building was not currently in the Inner Mansion Realm!

The strength of mere Neifu Cultivators couldn’t denote the strength or the depth of a sect because each individual’s fortune differs.

The Divine Skills of the Inner Mansion Realm also depend greatly on opportunities—

This was the impact Chen Zhitao intended to communicate with his words.

Although Ji Shaoqing had lost and even though Diao Hai Building did not have any Inner Mansion Realm cultivators who could confidently defeat Jiang Wang, this didn’t really prove much.

Gu Huaixin subtly glanced at Chen Zhitao, silently sighing in his heart.

Indeed, he was the leading figure of the younger generation of our sect.

His breadth of vision and magnanimity far surpassed Ji Shaoqing’s.

Some words, inappropriate coming from him, were suitably spoken by Chen Zhitao, who indeed handled it well.

As for Chen Zhitao’s statement, Jiang Wang didn’t continue to be arrogant and instead gave face by saying, “If Elder Brother Chen had been born fifteen years later, perhaps no young upstart could have made a name, and this incident would not have happened.”

After all, today he was determined to kill Ji Shaoqing, and other matters weren’t important.

Saying a few courteous words didn’t matter, and Chen Zhitao indeed had such strength, complimenting him wasn’t shameful.

Of course, it was necessary to take another dig at Ji Shaoqing.

Chen Zhitao also didn’t take the opportunity to make more of a fuss, as using Divine Arrival to suppress Inner Mansion wasn’t something glorious.

And while he was in the Inner Mansion Realm, could he really have suppressed the current Jiang Wang?

That was actually a question.

After retracting his gaze from Jiang Wang, this eldest senior brother of Diao Hai Building suspended in midair sighed deeply.

Then he addressed the cultivators nearly swarming the entire surroundings of the End of the World Platform, “Disperse, everyone!”

“Ji Shaoqing is a cultivator of Diao Hai Building, he will own up to what he has done!

The life and death duel he agreed to, he will persist until the last moment.”

“Right or wrong, I don’t want to speak further, and with this battle, the final chapter of life and death has been set.”

“But brothers and sisters!”

He raised his voice, “I do not wish to see anyone else come challenging and find ourselves unable to accept.

I do not wish to see anyone else stand there and find no one among us able to win.

We are Diao Hai Building!

How can we be so?”

In that moment, tears flowed from his eyes.

He bowed deeply to the young cultivators of Diao Hai Building and earnestly said, “My fellow brothers and sisters, please strive harder!”

In the audience, some young cultivators nearly cried.

How incompetent they were to make Elder Brother Chen bow deeply like this!

At that moment, the cultivators of Diao Hai Building simultaneously bowed back in respect.

And then one after another, indeed without looking back, filled with tears, they left the End of the World Platform.

At that moment, their spirits were filled with fighting spirit; in their hearts, they felt deep shame.

Many of them engraved a name in their hearts, silently vowing—using diligence and endurance, one day they must go to Qi Country and reclaim the honor lost today for their sect!

Jiang Wang’s several bows had suppressed the younger generation of Diao Hai Building cultivators into silence, draining their spirits.

But Chen Zhitao’s single bow had reignited their spirit.

This was indeed an era where prodigies abounded!
