ACSP: Chapter 64: Explosive Clay VS Chidori Current, Who is the True Battle Genius!
"What happened?" "Who did that?" The scene was instantly in an uproar.
Everyone followed the lightning light and looked over, only to see that the person who made the move was none other than Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, don't mess around! That guy is the representative of Puppet City, he came here to form an alliance with us." City Lord Li Hongfei shouted loudly, while simultaneously flashing to Jiang Chen's side and grabbing the arm he was using to release Lightning Release.
The others in the City Lord's Mansion were all filled with unprecedented fear. They never expected that Jiang Chen would actually attack that guy from Puppet City here.
Fortunately, that ray of lightning just now only severed the strange bird under the other party's feet and didn't hurt him. Otherwise, they would likely have formed a feud with Puppet City.
"Alliance? Does this guy's attitude look like he came to form an alliance?" However, facing the concerns of City Lord Li Hongfei and the others, Jiang Chen's stance was very firm.
It's fine if the Thunder God Temple and Puppet City want to come and form an alliance with them, but they must show sufficient sincerity. Otherwise, this isn't called an alliance, but annexation.
"Jiang Chen, I know this Li Dala was just trying to intimidate us, but the strength of Puppet City is not something we can contend with. For the sake of the big picture, I hope you can endure it as well." City Lord Li Hongfei continued to pacify Jiang Chen, his words full of pleading.
Although he had never had contact with Puppet City, he remembered what Lei Li of the Thunder God Temple said last time: the overall strength of Puppet City was not in the slightest bit weaker than the Thunder God Temple. They were absolutely not an existence they could afford to provoke.
Jiang Chen understood City Lord Li Hongfei's dilemma.
As the lord of a city, whatever he did, his first consideration had to be the survival and future of Jinghai City.
But he had no intention of putting up with this kind of crap.
He had never held a mere Contractor of Deidara in any regard.
"If he wants me to endure it, he'll have to see if he's qualified."
Jiang Chen looked up and gazed ahead.
At that moment, Li Dala, whose giant clay bird had been sliced apart, had also fallen from the sky and landed on the rooftop opposite him.
"A long-range Lightning Release skill, that's interesting..."
Li Dala smoothed back his slightly messy hair, stood up, looked at Jiang Chen, and asked, "Kid, your Lightning Release is pretty good. State your name; I never deal with nobodies."
"Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen replied indifferently.
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Li Dala's mouth: "So you're the dual Kage-level Contractor that Lei Li mentioned. I saw the list from your contract ceremony, and I knew it—how could a guy with max-level talent be stupid enough to contract two Genin? It's a pity your current level is too low; you aren't qualified to speak to me yet. If you apologize to me now, I can forgive your sneak attack just now."
Jiang Chen laughed: "If I had actually sneak-attacked you just now, do you think you'd still be standing here safe and sound, talking to me?"
Hearing this, Li Dala was stunned for a moment, then laughed along: "Kid, are you looking down on me? Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."
"Fine, fine, fine..."
Li Dala was so angry he laughed.
He had come early this time just to put some pressure on the City Lord's mansion of Jinghai City, so they would know their place during the alliance meeting later and voluntarily become the 'ally' who only knew how to nod in agreement and had the least say!
He hadn't expected that he would end up being the one looked down upon.
"As expected of the world's only dual Kage-level Contractor, you certainly have confidence when you speak. Let me guess: one of your contracted characters uses Lightning Release, and the other one wouldn't happen to be Talk-no-Jutsu, right?"
Having said that, Li Dala suddenly straightened his expression and raised his hand to throw a handful of clay spiders as thin as fingers.
As soon as those clay spiders hit the ground, they turned into fist-sized spiders and immediately crawled rapidly toward Jiang Chen.
"Come on, let me see how much ability you, this so-called dual Kage-level Contractor, actually have. Don't worry, I won't fuse with my contracted character, and I won't use any S-rank skills..."
As Li Dala's voice faded.
The others from the City Lord's mansion immediately showed expressions of disbelief.
"Did I hear that right? This guy actually has S-rank skills..."
"Damn, I haven't even seen what an S-rank skill looks like."
"Let alone S-rank skills, I haven't even seen an A-rank skill."
"I heard that S-rank skills are only possessed by Kage-level Contractors. Could this guy named Li Dala also be a Kage-level Contractor?"
Just as everyone was surprised.
The clay spiders had already crawled rapidly along the roof to surround Jiang Chen, sealing off all his retreat paths.
City Lord Li Hongfei happened to be standing with Jiang Chen at that moment and was also surrounded by the clay spiders.
"Be careful, these spider puppets don't look like much, but I can sense a very strong feeling of crisis from them."
City Lord Li Hongfei pulled out a Shuriken and was about to attack the clay spiders, but was stopped by Jiang Chen.
"Let me handle this."
While speaking, he had already reached out to form several hand seals in front of his chest.
"—Lightning Release: Chidori Current!"
"—Zzzzt!"
With a sharp sound of thunder,
a large amount of electrical current suddenly erupted from Jiang Chen's body.
The current spread rapidly from his body like a large net, enveloping him and City Lord Li Hongfei while simultaneously piercing through the bodies of the clay spiders that were lunging toward them.
When the current disappeared.
All the clay spiders had fallen to the ground, emitting white smoke, and completely stopped moving.
"This kid seems to know that Lightning Release can counter my clay."
"And his Lightning Release power, why does it feel stronger than those two brothers, Lei Li's?"
Seeing Jiang Chen easily defeat his clay spiders, the look of contempt on Li Dala's face gradually disappeared.
The strength Jiang Chen displayed at this moment had far exceeded his expectations.
It forced him to take things seriously.
However, he was not without countermeasures.
Li Dala stuck his hands into his pants pockets, swallowed some explosive clay inside, and immediately threw several fast-flying clay birds at Jiang Chen.
Those clay birds did not rush to attack Jiang Chen.
Instead, they began to circle rapidly around him.
Jiang Chen saw through this guy's intention at a glance, but at the same time, he gained a bit of respect for his observational skills.
Because he discovered that the distance those clay birds were flying around him was exactly the maximum range he had just used to spread his electrical current.
In other words, the opponent had only watched him perform Chidori Current once, yet had already memorized its attack range and quickly formulated a counter-strategy.
It had to be said.
Although this Li Dala spoke a bit arrogantly.
His insight during battle was still very good.
He was a talent!
"Well then, now is the moment to witness a miracle!"
Just then, Li Dala suddenly curled his lips.
He formed a seal with one hand and uttered a word from his mouth:
"—Explode!"
