“Why should I demonstrate it to you?” Jiang Chen asked in reply. He didn’t condense Soldier Energy impatiently like Jiang Xin.

Hearing this, Officer Li’s smile brightened, and the Xuanji Army soldiers shook their heads.

“You have something on your conscience, don’t you?” Officer Li probed.

“If I claim that you are a hermaphrodite and ask you to pull down your pants to prove that you aren’t, would you do it?” Jiang Chen presented this straightforward argument; it couldn’t be any simpler.

“This is our Xuanji Army’s camp, and you have arrogantly intruded without permission and are still trying to smear us. Jiang Xian has already demonstrated that your claims are ridiculous, but you just turn a deaf ear.”

His words echoed, and the whole camp descended into a strange silence. All of the Xuanji Army’s soldiers’ eyes lit up. If they hadn’t managed to retain their composure, they might have already started cheering. Officer Li’s smile disappeared, and his expression became gloomy while a dangerous glint shone in his eyes.

“If you can prove that you can condense more than 1000 wisps of Soldier Energy, I will offer the whole Xuanji Army an apology,” Officer Li persisted, containing his anger. It didn’t matter what Jiang Chen said next.

“It’s fine like this.” Jiang Chen didn’t panic because they’d seen through him. Instead, he chuckled and shouted loudly, “Tiger Battalion soldiers, come over!”

Zhang Han beckoned to them, and two thousand soldiers immediately got ready.

“Two thousand people?”

Witnessing this, the whole camp was in an uproar, and their clamor rang out ceaselessly.

“Put on an act. Just continue putting on an act,” Officer Li repeatedly sneered coldly.

“Jiang Chen, don’t mess around. If you forcefully condense Soldier Energy, your soul will burst,” Xiao Li said solemnly.

Even the two thousand soldiers chosen weren’t sure about this. They had cooperated with Jiang Chen before, and this youthful commander hadn’t suffered any harm then. However, they just a.s.sumed that this was because Jiang Chen hadn’t taken all their Soldier Energy. Since Jiang Chen had to make a demonstration now, he would be forced to absorb it, and this would be a great test of his abilities.

“Let’s start!”

Jiang Chen didn’t waste time. He seemed confident in himself. The Tiger Battalion’s two thousand soldiers didn’t hesitate long before releasing their Soldier Energy. Soldier Energy was formless, and it could only be detected through the senses. Moreover, if a commander didn’t condense it, it would be completely useless.

Jiang Chen started condensing Soldier Energy in front of ten thousand people. He started the process quickly and didn’t give the crowd enough time to revisit their old a.s.sumptions, and he succeeded in one go. An ominous light emanated from Jiang Chen’s body, and it seemed like the surrounding area turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y battlefield. Jiang Chen, meanwhile, turned into a giant, ferocious tiger. The giant tiger was several hundred feet long, and it pounced on Officer Li. Officer Li didn’t react in time. He was startled and ended up falling on his b.u.t.t.

“Such a degree…It’s really 2000 wisps of Soldier Energy,” Jiang Xin muttered to herself while her pretty face filled with shock.

At first, she suspected that, like her, Jiang Chen had condensed Soldier Energy beforehand. But she quickly overruled the possibility because Jiang Chen had come to the army camp on his second day on the Qi Li Continent—the same day he’d killed two commanders.

“It’s true. It’s unexpectedly true!”

The soldiers of the Xuanji Army’s five battalions were dumbfounded. When they returned to their senses, they all got excited. They raised their hands and started cheering.

“As you have just seen, the Divine Crane and Ferocious Tiger Battalions’ fighting prowess is more powerful than before.”

Delight appeared in Xiao Li’s eyes. Officer Li stood up wearing an unsightly expression. He waved his sleeves and was about to leave.

Jiang Chen restrained his ominous energy and called to him, “Wait! What about your apology?”

“Get lost!” Officer Li didn’t even turn his head. He didn’t care, and just kept moving forward.

Bang! A big hand fell on his shoulder. Heavy as a mountain, it forced him to stop in his tracks. Officer Li was startled and angered. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Chen’s grim face.

“Apologize, or else, don’t dream about leaving the camp today,” Jiang Chen insisted.

“Are you aware of what you are saying?” Officer Li shot back.

The Ling Long Army, who’d come with him, all put their hands on their weapons.

“Tiger Battalion soldiers!” Zhang Han shouted loudly and encircled them along with the two thousand soldiers.

The Ling Long Army was the main army, and it was filled with elites. But here, they only had around a hundred people.

“Kill any soldier who unsheathes his weapon.”

Jiang Chen swept his gaze over the Ling Long Army’s soldiers, who weren’t willing to give in. Hearing him, they became even more unwilling to surrender.

“You can give it a try.”

But as the Ling Long Army faced Jiang Chen’s gaze, they didn’t have the gall to pull out their swords. The camp’s ambiance became extremely tense.

“Won’t you get him under control?” Ren Hai asked in a low voice.

Xiao Li just kept silent while clasping his hands behind his back.

“You are offending your superior. Don’t you know that I’m an officer?” Officer Li started struggling with his whole might, but he still couldn’t break free of Jiang Chen’s arm. He could only try to use his status to deal with him.

“You don’t deserve to be an officer. According to the army’s rules, your previous offenses, as well as the fact that you reneged on your promise, are valid reasons for me to attack you,” Jiang Chen said coldly.

He’s a madman! Thought the Xuanji Army’s soldiers. Nevertheless, they felt their blood boiling.

“You can obviously attack me. Let’s just fight.”

After Officer Li spoke, he attacked with his right hand, and flames appeared around his five fingers. They weren’t ordinary flames, and this was an Alien Fire. But it wasn’t the main source, and it was unknown whether he’d obtained this piece by buying it from someone or borrowing it. Jiang Chen easily blocked his strike, and his whole arm turned into a raging fire.

“You aren’t qualified to play with fire in front of me.”

“Let’s fight!”

Officer Li used his Protective Dipper Energy to forcefully shake off Jiang Chen’s hand. Officer Li was infuriated, and he flew into the sky.

He said coldly, “Come here! Didn’t you say that you are allowed to attack me? Let me see how powerful you are.”

Officer Li was an officer while Jiang Chen was just a commander. However, Jiang Chen didn’t cower, and he also flew into the sky. It wasn’t like all of the officers were at the same level as Xu Sheng, and the same argument could be used for Jiang Chen. It wasn’t like all commanders were as powerful as him.

I can finally give this a try, Jiang Chen thought while br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a high-fighting spirit.

Officer Li discovered with surprise that Jiang Chen’s gaze was zealous, and it was like he was looking forward to challenging Officer Li after having flown into a rage.

“He even dares to kill a Wizard…”

As he thought of this, Officer Li slightly regretted his actions. However, his reasoning was quickly overwhelmed by shame. He wasn’t a young wizard, and he’d almost reached his fifties. Nevertheless, he’d still managed to land an officer’s position, and he could be considered an influential person.

“I will kill him.” Officer Li made a firm decision, and a flaming blade appeared in his hands.

“Since this is the case…”

Upon detecting Officer Li’s murderous intents, Jiang Chen didn’t have any more qualms. Jiang Chen pulled out the Heavenly Fault Sword and his Wind Firmament Sword Spirit, which had become immortal after he’d used it along with his Sword Doctrine. It was many times more powerful than when Lu Ping had used it. But this still wasn’t Jiang Chen’s ultimate goal.

“Ultimate Technique: Peerless Splendid Wind!”

When Jiang Chen used this sword technique, lightning emanated from the Heavenly Fault Sword, and his wind and lightning power fused entirely for the first time. This sword move was as quick as lightning and as loud as thunder. It was like the one he’d used to defeat s.h.i.+ Xiao. The raging wind whistled while divine lightning erupted forth. His sword strike broke through the void, and the wind ran amok in the sky.

Officer Li didn’t have enough time to respond appropriately, and the dilating of his pupils was his sole reaction. It was then that everything came to an end. As the wind and lightning pa.s.sed by Officer Li, he turned into ashes and disappeared along with the wind.

“Oh my G.o.d!”

The people in the camp couldn’t keep up. Most of them had wanted to witness a great battle, but it had ended almost instantly.

“How can it end like this?”

They all shouted in entirely different tones. Had an officer really just been killed by a single sword strike?
