Chapter 174: Enemy Encounter (Three more ten-thousand-word chapters, please subscribe!)_2



Just the four words "the six sacred lands" were enough to make Sunset Sword Sect and Heavenly Saber Sect apprehensive.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yong turned his head and addressed the surrounding crowd of martial artists, beginning to clear the area, saying, "Those who are not involved, leave quickly, or don't blame my Arsenal for being impolite!"

These martial artists naturally heard the conversation between Jiang Yong, Luo Zhong, and Xu Yan. Hearing the words "divine weapons," many of them had their eyes light up, fantasizing that they could seize the divine weapons and take this opportunity to soar to the heavens.

However, upon hearing Jiang Yong's words, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads, causing everyone to sober up significantly.

With Jiang Yong, Luo Zhong, and Xu Yan present, the divine weapons that appeared in the Chilong Mountain Range naturally had nothing to do with them; it was impossible for them to obtain them.

Although these people were extremely unwilling in their hearts, faced with a power like Arsenal, they naturally had no choice.

The martial world is just so, survival of the fittest; everything depends on strength. The one with the bigger fist is the one with the reasoning.

"Arsenal really puts on a big show, what makes you think these divine weapons are Arsenal's?"

At this moment, a clear voice came through. When Jiang Yong heard someone dare to defy him, his face immediately darkened, and his menacing gaze shifted to catch sight of Gu Chen not far away.

Gu Chen was dressed in black, his heroic looks impressive, his eyebrows sharp as stars, with an extraordinary temperament. Standing there, his tall figure was as straight as a javelin.

"Who is spouting such nonsense here, looking for death?"

Luo Zhong's eyebrows also furrowed as he looked in the direction of the voice. As soon as he saw Gu Chen, his pupils shrank instantly, and a strong intent to kill flashed through his eyes.

"Gu Chen!" Seeing Gu Chen appearing here, Xu Yan's expression also turned cold.

There's no need to elaborate on the grudge between Sunset Sword Sect and Gu Chen. Two of their true disciples were slaughtered by Gu Chen, especially Qin Mu, who had great talent and a high chance of becoming the next sect leader of Sunset Sword Sect if he had grown up.

On the martial world's stage, Gu Chen's reputation initially rose at the expense of the Sunset Sword Sect. It can be said that Sunset Sword Sect absolutely loathed Gu Chen, even placing a high bounty on his head through the Blood-Clothed Tower, making their feud a matter of life and death.

Heavenly Saber Sect, naturally, shared a similar grudge with Gu Chen, with Mo Zilin who had been designated as the next sect leader and the elder Hu Wanyuan both dying at the hands of Gu Chen.

Even Tian Dao Yang Ling's most beloved legitimate daughter was killed by Gu Chen, so Heavenly Saber Sect's resentment towards Gu Chen was not much less than that of Sunset Sword Sect.

The reason Xu Yan climbed up the gate of Sunset Sword Sect was also by the order of Tian Dao Yang Ling, to discuss with the Sunset Sword Sect how to deal with Gu Chen.

Upon hearing the name Gu Chen, the martial artists from other forces also changed their expressions, their eyes showing a hint of amusement.

After all, they were aware of the grudges between Sunset Sword Sect and Heavenly Saber Sect with Gu Chen.

It can be said that half of Gu Chen's fame in the martial world was gained by stepping on these two sects.

At that moment, a subordinate next to Jiang Yong mocked with a sneer, "What, if these divine weapons aren't Arsenal's, are they yours then?"

His words were very clear, sarcastically implying that someone of Gu Chen's status and position was not worthy of possessing divine weapons.

Hearing this, Luo Zhong and Xu Yan also smiled coldly, finding that the Arsenal member's words were pleasantly to their ears.

Gu Chen's expression was indifferent. He glanced at the Arsenal martial artist who had just spoken. Without any visible movement from him, that person suddenly trembled, spewed a mouthful of blood with a retch, and his complexion swiftly turned sallow.

Nowadays, Gu Chen's control over the internal energy within his body had reached an exquisite peak. The attack he launched targeted only the Arsenal martial artist who had just spoken, without a trace, even Jiang Yong did not react in time at first.

Seeing Gu Chen take action without a word, Jiang Yong immediately changed his expression, fixed a fierce gaze on Gu Chen, and said coldly, "Who gave you the guts to hurt my man!"

"Who gave you the guts to speak to me like this?" Gu Chen retorted without politeness.

Jiang Yong's face immediately stiffened, his expression turning extremely sullen, and he said harshly, "Presumptuous brat, others may fear you, but Arsenal does not, the name of Jing Tian Department might suppress others, but it won't press down on Arsenal!"

Luo Zhong and Xu Yan stood by, watching Gu Chen confront Jiang Yong coldly. Although they were unclear about what had transpired between the two, an enemy's enemy could be a friend, and they were pleased to see this scene.

After all, Arsenal had the support of the six sacred lands behind it, indeed having no need to fear Jing Tian Department too much, which is something Sunset Sword Sect and Heavenly Saber Sect simply couldn't compare to.

They were well aware of Gu Chen's audacious character, knowing that since Gu Chen dared to stand up, he would definitely clash with Jiang Yong. Luo Zhong and Xu Yan knew Jiang Yong's strength; he ranked much higher than either of them on the Leaderboard of Heroes. Once a fight broke out, Gu Chen would definitely be no match for Jiang Yong.

After all, Gu Chen was currently ranked only ninety-three on the Leaderboard of Heroes, far behind Luo Zhong and Xu Yan, let alone Jiang Yong with his more profound cultivation.

Perhaps, they could also use the power of Arsenal to press down on Gu Chen.

Luo Zhong sneered, "Lord Gu, do you really think that with Jing Tian Department backing you, you can go wherever you please, forcing everyone to give you a wide berth, and all the treasures should be yours?"

Xu Yan also said coldly and unapologetically, "Lord Gu, one can mess up eating, but words should not be spoken carelessly. Divine weapons are coveted by all, but whether one is worthy of them is another question!"

Gu Chen's expression remained indifferent, his cold eyes sweeping over Luo Zhong and Xu Yan, as he scolded unapologetically, "Scram!"

Sunset Sword Sect and Heavenly Saber Sect had long-standing grievances with him; naturally, Gu Chen would not be polite with their martial artists.

"Gu Chen, you truly presume too much, thinking that no one in this world can subdue you!"

Gu Chen's arrogance irked Jiang Yong immensely. In his view, he had yet to even start seeking trouble with Gu Chen, and now Gu Chen even dared to appear here, obstructing him from claiming divine weapons. Jiang Yong felt that Gu Chen was really overestimating himself, believing he could do whatever he wanted in the martial world with Jing Tian Department's name, with everyone needing to fear him.

Being scolded by Gu Chen and told to "scram," Luo Zhong and Xu Yan immediately fell into a sullen mood, wishing they could slaughter Gu Chen on the spot.

Gu Chen, clothed in black, stood tall with piercing eyes, confronting Jiang Yong, saying, "Indeed, there are many in this world who can subdue me, but among them do not include you three pieces of rotten fish and shrimp!"

That was Gu Chen's nature—if someone respected him, he would pay back in kind; if someone disrespected him, he would be even less courteous, a competition to see who was the tougher one.

Moreover, with Gu Chen's current strength, he truly did not consider Jiang Yong, Luo Zhong, and Xu Yan to his eyes. With his present cultivation, among the inner Gangqi martial artists, no one could be his opponent if the external Gangqi martial artists did not come out.

"How dare you!"

Upon hearing those words, Jiang Yong was immediately enraged. He was about to make a move, his Gangqi surging wildly, his hair dancing chaotically, and the atmosphere in the environment suddenly turned oppressively tense.
