ACSP: Chapter 145: You are Jiang Chen?!
"Damn it, others want to enter the secret realm, what are you blocking here for? Get lost immediately. We are from the Heavenly Court, you can't afford to offend us."
"Exactly, our boss is Jiang Chen. You know Jiang Chen, right? He is a Super-Kage Level Contractor. Even Qin Hao of the Evil God Organization was killed by him. Now in this Kang City, anyone who opposes him is just asking for death."
"Damn, why are you telling him all this? I think he has a death wish..."
Those masked men, seeing someone block Luo Yuqing who wanted to pay the treasure chests, immediately surrounded them angrily.
One of them even took out a Kunai and stabbed it toward Jiang Chen without hesitation, wanting to make an example of him.
However, just as his Kunai reached Jiang Chen's face, it was blocked by another palm.
"Seeking death."
Jiang Chen let out a cold snort.
He backhanded to grab the opponent's wrist.
With a forceful tug, he actually tore the man's entire arm right off.
"—Pfft!"
As a gush of scalding blood sprayed out, the man immediately clutched his wound, collapsed to the ground, and began to scream hysterically.
"Holy shit, is this kid crazy? How dare he touch Jiang Chen's people?"
"Who is this guy? Why does he look a bit familiar..."
"Probably some idiot young master from a family in Kang City; otherwise, who would touch Jiang Chen's people at a time like this?"
"This kid is in big trouble."
The surrounding people were all stunned at this moment.
They had assumed this person was just standing up to talk back and vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, just like they had done earlier.
But who could have guessed that the opponent would actually rip that man's arm right off?
"Damn it, you dare touch my big brother? I'll kill you..."
Seeing their boss injured, the other masked men immediately drew their weapons and charged over.
However, Jiang Chen gave them no chance to attack.
He formed hand seals with one hand.
A dazzling ball of lightning instantly exploded from his palm.
"—Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The next second, as a beam of lightning flashed through the crowd, the bodies of those masked men instantly froze in place, their eyes wide open as if they had seen something terrifying.
"—Whoosh!"
Just then, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by.
The heads of those men all fell from their necks.
The stumps of their necks were as smooth as a mirror, as if they had been sliced by some sharp weapon, which was hair-raising to behold.
In an instant, the entire scene fell into dead silence; not even a falling leaf made a sound.
Only the masked man whose arm had been torn off by Jiang Chen earlier was still rolling on the ground, groaning in pain.
Jiang Chen tilted his head to look at him.
With a flick of his right hand, a Shuriken imbued with Lightning Style Chakra shot out, immediately ending his screams.
"You... you actually killed them all?"
Luo Yuqing's expression changed drastically after she realized what had happened.
She never would have dreamed that the temporary teammate she found today would turn out to be a madman.
One had to know that Jiang Chen's prestige in Kang City had now completely surpassed that of the former Qin Hao.
For the opponent to kill his people in public now, this was no longer a matter of just causing trouble. It was a declaration of war.
"Yuqing, this guy has already offended Jiang Chen; we can't team up with him, or we will definitely be implicated..."
Chu Xuan leaned in close to Luo Yuqing and whispered.
Luo Yuqing looked at Jiang Chen with a solemn expression, preparing to say something.
But the very next moment, an image suddenly and involuntarily appeared in her mind.
That image gradually merged with the man in front of her.
It made her think of one person instantly.
"You, you are Jiang Chen?"
Luo Yuqing's lips trembled as she squeezed these words out in a tone of disbelief.
And just these few words immediately made everyone present gasp in shock.
"What did that woman just say? Jiang Chen? Could this kid be Jiang Chen?"
"It really seems to be him; I've seen his videos online before, he looks exactly like that."
"Damn, I knew this person looked familiar; so he really is Jiang Chen."
"No way, Jiang Chen actually came here?"
"Nonsense, according to the data, Jiang Chen's current level is still below 30; isn't it normal for him to come farm a mid-level dungeon?"
"Damn, a Super-Kage Level Contractor is farming the same dungeon as me; who would believe this if I told them?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Chen.
They couldn't believe that the big shot who had been making all of Kang City turbulent and uneasy lately would actually appear here.
Some wanted to go up and get familiar, but once they remembered the means Jiang Chen used to kill those masked men earlier, they all chickened out again.
Just then, Jiang Chen suddenly turned around, looked at the crowd with a calm expression, and said: "Everyone, my people won't be here to take over this place for a few days. Before that, I will not be lenient with anyone who tries to collect fees in my name. I hope you all behave yourselves."
This was a warning. It was also a form of deterrence toward the outside world.
He wanted to take this opportunity to tell others that from now on, whoever dared to use his name to swindle people outside, those masked men would be their fate.
As Jiang Chen finished speaking, everyone present immediately understood what had just happened.
"Fuck, so those guys were all scammers; I knew their fees were ridiculously high."
"Actually, I should have guessed it earlier; Jiang Chen is handsome and refined, clearly a righteous gentleman; how could he possibly ask us for a 5 Bronze Treasure Chest toll?"
"Big brother, that's not what you said just a moment ago, right?"
"Shut your mouth, these are words of justice, absolutely not my personal flattery!"
"It seems the big boss Jiang Chen is the real deal!"
"Isn't that so? My admiration for the big boss Jiang Chen is like the surging river, endless and continuous, like the Yellow River overflowing, completely unstoppable..."
The crowd discussed it noisily, and there was a clamor.
Some people even started flattering Jiang Chen on the spot.
Regarding this, Jiang Chen just smiled and ignored them.
He turned his head to look at Luo Yuqing and asked: "Can we enter the dungeon now?"
Hearing this, Luo Yuqing finally snapped out of her shock.
"Okay... I, I'll enter immediately."
Luo Yuqing responded nervously, then immediately pulled Jiang Chen into her team and transferred the team leader status to him as well.
"The team leader can get extra experience point rewards for farming this dungeon, so maybe you should take it."
"Sure."
Jiang Chen shrugged indifferently.
After taking over the position of team leader, he immediately connected his consciousness to the dungeon entrance.
[Mid-level Dungeon (Cloud Thunder Canyon)]
Please select the difficulty:
—— [ Easy ]
—— [ Hard ]
—— [ Hell-level ]
"Hell-level."
Jiang Chen did not hesitate and decisively chose the [Hell-level] difficulty for the secret realm.
The next second.
As five golden lights descended.
Jiang Chen and Luo Yuqing's group instantly vanished from the spot.
...
Cloud Thunder Canyon was a map located near the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.
It was filled with stone pillars and cliffs towering into the clouds everywhere.
Below those cliffs lay a turbulent, surging sea.
Because thunderclouds lingered in the high altitude all year round, with muffled thunder occasionally exploding in the clouds, it earned the name 'Cloud Thunder Canyon'.
After Jiang Chen brought Luo Yuqing and the others into the secret realm, he saw the dense thunderclouds hovering in the sky, and a plan for fast grinding immediately appeared in his mind!
