Li Jing paused, her expression changed, and she said with a cold sneer, "However, what does it matter if I've shown a weakness? I've already become a strong person. A strong person who can control the life and death of others, a strong person who can make all you so-called champions of justice kneel and beg for mercy!"
"Jingjing! Why? Why did you become like this?" Vermilion Bird cried out, somewhat out of control.
"Why?"
Li Jing looked at Vermilion Bird with a ferocious expression: "Because of you! At home, I didn't have to do anything, my parents took care of everything; at school, it was you guys! You made me a lazy person, you made me into someone who doesn't persevere with anything. I've become what I am today because of you."
"Jingjing, why would you say that? We were helping you, we were looking after you! We did it all for your good!" Vermilion Bird cried out in agony.
Li Jing laughed almost hysterically, "Haha! For my good? Where were you when other people called me a freeloader? When I wanted to accomplish something on my own, to prove my ability, but I couldn't succeed in anything, where were you then?"
"Why did you join the Fallen Angels?" Jiang Chen was getting impatient. They didn't have much time to spare watching a melodrama of sisterly affection.
Li Jing turned and glared at Jiang Chen, her face twisted into a sickly smile: "Why? Because they can make me powerful, they can make those who called me trash kneel before me and kowtow, they can give me a greater sense of superiority!"
Jiang Chen understood. He asked this question for Vermilion Bird's sake, to see if there was still hope for Li Jing. But Li Jing's answer had made him give up on her.
"Jingjing, you..." Vermilion Bird still wanted to reason with Li Jing, but Jiang Chen interrupted:
"No need to say more, she's possessed by demons. Spare the rod, spoil the child! She's become deeply affiliated with the Fallen Angels and the Gene Potion, she's beyond redemption!"
"Possessed by demons?!"
Li Jing looked at Jiang Chen and the others with a fierce expression: "So what if I'm demon-possessed? If it can make everyone kneel before me, then what does it matter if I turn into a demon? Haha! You all go die!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
An overwhelming aura burst forth from Li Jing's body and pressed down directly on Jiang Chen and the other two!
Thud, thud, thud!
Su Yun's face turned pale, and she quickly retreated until she stopped when she hit the wall!
Vermilion Bird showed a look of astonishment in her eyes and involuntarily stepped back two paces, looking at Li Jing in disbelief.
Only Jiang Chen, standing firm against Li Jing's oppressive force, narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold murderous intent.
"Not bad, actually able to withstand the pressure of a Late-Stage Innate Great Grandmaster. Dragon King, you truly surprise me."
Li Jing arrogantly began, "Today, you were all supposed to die. But now, I can offer you a way out. I enjoy seeing talented geniuses kneel before me begging for mercy. Dragon King, as long as you kneel and kowtow to me a few times, I will spare one of you three. How about that, Dragon King? You can choose who I let go."
Li Jing's eyes were filled with mockery, like a big cat toying with the mouse under its paw.
"Elementary school kids play multiple-choice games; all three of us will leave, and you, you will die here!" Jiang Chen said coolly.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
A chilling killing intent emanated from Jiang Chen.
In the corner, Su Yun's face suddenly turned pale, her eyes showing an extreme fear, and her body went limp, almost collapsing to the ground.
Whoosh!
Vermilion Bird's figure flashed, landing beside Su Yun, and extended her hand to steady Su Yun, pulling her behind herself. She watched Jiang Chen's back with a pale face.
At this moment, Jiang Chen had pushed the killing intent of the Third Style of Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Rupture Earth Soul, to its extreme. The air in the entire room seemed to have been dispersed by the killing intent, and the blood-colored mist pervaded the entire changing room.
Vermilion Bird and her companion distinctly felt difficulty breathing, as if their hearts were about to stop beating. It wasn't just Su Yun experiencing this— even Vermilion Bird felt an urge to kneel in worship.
It was as if the figure standing before them wasn't the Dragon King, but a murderous emperor who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and an ocean of blood, now overlooking the masses!
"How is this possible?!"
Li Jing's body trembled violently, and she spoke with an ugly expression: "This aura... how is it possible? How could you be the same as the Captain? Impossible, the Captain said he was the sole heir in the world, how could there be another one?"
"Heir?!" Jiang Chen paused and then frowned tightly. What did she mean? The leader of the Fallen Angels, the Fallen War God, also knew Blood Dance Dharmic Heaven?
"I get it now?!"
Li Jing suddenly cried out in shock: "That's the Blood Saber! It's the sacred relic of my sect, the Saint Blade. No wonder, no wonder it could sever my arm. You're Jiang Chen, the boss of Yi Chen Group, Jiang Chen!
I understand now, so that's how it is.
No wonder the Blood Saber landed in your hands and you were able to wield it. So, you are also an heir.
Jiang Chen, so you are the fated enemy the Captain spoke of! Hahaha..."
Li Jing muttered to herself for a while, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter: "Good! Very good! I never expected to encounter you here. Killing you, taking back the Saint Blade, the Captain will surely reward me. Then, he will definitely collect Essence Blood to restore my body, hahaha... Good, Jiang Chen, your timing is perfect!"
"Are you a disciple from the outer sect of the Blood Blade Sect? Are the Fallen Angels an external force of the Blood Blade Sect?" Jiang Chen's eyes flickered with a sudden realization as he coldly stared at Li Jing.
Li Jing scoffed: "Outer sect? The outer sect is just trash, do they deserve me to join?"
Jiang Chen abruptly paused, asking in astonishment, "Not the outer sect? You are actually people from the Blood Blade Sect?"
"Yes, I am from the great Blood Blade Sect. I am the most loyal supporter of the great Lord Xue. It was Lord Xue who gave me power, and now, I will kill you, the fated enemy, for him. After that, my status within the sect will be second to none, hahaha..." Li Jing burst out laughing.
Bang bang bang!
A series of knocks sounded on the door, followed by a voice calling from outside the changing room: "Miss Li Jing, is that you? What's happened? Do you need our help?"
"Get lost! It's none of your business!" Li Jing shouted angrily.
After a moment of silence, the sound of footsteps could be heard fading away outside the door.
"Thinking of stealing my credit? This is a great achievement, one that I must enjoy all by myself!" Li Jing's eyes greedily fixed on Jiang Chen as if he were not an enemy but a large cake waiting for her to devour.
Jiang Chen let out a silent breath of relief, his gaze ice-cold as he looked at Li Jing: "Thank you for sparing us the trouble of exposure. To thank you, I will repay you with the move I have just fully comprehended!"
"Third Style of Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Rupture Earth Soul!"
Jiang Chen bellowed, swinging the Blood Saber rapidly.
