Dragon-Marked War God

“Awoo, awoo…”

The Blazing Marten kept struggling, but Jiang Chen would not let it go so easily. For alchemy in the future, this little guy would definitely be a great treasure. Running into a Blazing Marten in this godforsaken place counted as Jiang Chen’s lucky star shining on him. Normally this creature could not be seen even once in a thousand years.

“Stop! Let go of the Blazing Marten!”

A deep, explosive shout came from behind Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen slowly turned around. A group of four people stood behind him, looking at him angrily.

“Are you talking to me?”

Jiang Chen said coldly, giving the four young men dressed in animal hides a cold look.

“That’s right, you. We found the Blazing Marten first. Hurry up and hand it over to us, or don’t blame us for being rude.”

The young man in hides at their head said coldly, his face full of arrogance as he stared straight at Jiang Chen without any courtesy. His haughty, high-handed manner was full of the domineering air of someone who stood far above others.

“The Blazing Marten is in my hands. What right do you have to ask for it? Because there are more of you?”

Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.

“We found the Blazing Marten first. We’ve been chasing it for more than three months. Who do you think it should belong to? Hmph.”

Another young man snorted coldly, completely ignoring Jiang Chen.

“Chasing it for three months without catching it only shows that you’re too useless. You’re an embarrassment. If I hadn’t caught up with this little guy, would you even have shown up? Now that I’ve caught it, you want to take advantage and snatch my things. Do you have any shame at all? Hahaha.”

Jiang Chen said disdainfully. Four people chasing it for three months without catching it really did sound somewhat embarrassing when said out loud.

“You—”

The young man in hides took a step forward, his face changing drastically, his eyes full of anger. Jiang Chen had left him speechless, and he looked as if he might unleash an earth-shaking strike at any moment.

“Ganbu Lada! Stand down!”

The young man in hides at their head said in a deep voice, shouting back the enraged Ganbu Lada.

“I am the young master of the Tuying Clan, Songzan Kangdi. Brother, we really did find the Blazing Marten first, and the four of us have been searching hard for three months just to catch it and offer it to my father as a birthday gift. I hope you’ll be willing to part with it. How about it?”

Songzan Kangdi said gravely. Although he was not as arrogant as Ganbu Lada, he was still overbearing. His attitude seemed to say that you had better follow his lead, or else he would not show you a pleasant face.

Songzan Kangdi’s pride, like his status, was perhaps something he had been born with.

Jiang Chen did not give it a second glance. Whoever these people were had nothing to do with him. If they wanted this Blazing Marten, they could forget it.

“Chasing it for three months without catching it only shows how incompetent you are. Now that I’ve caught it, you actually want to take it by force. It seems this young master of the Tuying Clan isn’t such a righteous person either, wanting to do something as petty as stealing. How contemptible.”

Jiang Chen sighed. Songzan Kangdi’s face grew ever darker. At this point he had lost his patience. Since this guy refused a toast only to drink a forfeit, he could not blame them for using their numbers and their power to bully him.

Jiang Chen’s words had struck a nerve with these people, especially this self-important Songzan Kangdi. He had originally intended to talk nicely with Jiang Chen, but this guy obviously did not appreciate the favor. How could he let himself be led around by the nose? The Rushing Thunder Mountains were practically their home base. Whoever offended them had only one road, and that road led to death.

“Kid, do you know who you’re talking to? Do you really think you’re the king of heaven? In the Rushing Thunder Mountains, no one has ever dared to disrespect my Tuying Clan. It seems that if we don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know who the real boss is.”

Ganbu Lada said coldly, pointing at Jiang Chen with an arrogant face.

“I don’t know who you are, and I have no interest in knowing. But if you keep pestering me, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Jiang Chen said calmly. He did not want any complications, but there were always people who wanted to oppose him. These guys had no ability themselves, yet seeing that he had caught the Blazing Marten, they shamelessly came to demand it, even saying it was theirs. They truly had no shame. For people like that, Jiang Chen could only scoff.

“Oh ho? You still want to go against us? You little brat, I think you don’t know what’s good for you. This must be your first time in the Rushing Thunder Mountains. For hundreds and thousands of years no one has dared to set foot in here. You really are a newborn calf that doesn’t fear the tiger. Young Master Kangdi, it looks like we have to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, this guy will never hand over the Blazing Marten.”

Ganbu Lada said in a deep voice.

“It really seems he won’t shed a tear until he sees his coffin. Make your move, Ganbu Lada. I don’t want to waste too much time.”

Songzan Kangdi said calmly. Ganbu Lada smiled coldly and nodded. He waved to the two men behind him, and the three of them slowly walked toward Jiang Chen, ready to fight at any moment.

“So in the end you’re still going to make a move.”

Jiang Chen sighed. These guys did not know whether they lived or died. He had not wanted to provoke them, but this brainless bunch insisted on crossing him. Being trash and still refusing to accept it, that was what was most annoying.

“Cut the crap, kid. I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t kneel and beg for mercy, I won’t be polite.”

Ganbu Lada said coldly.

“What a noisy guy.”

Jiang Chen frowned deeply. Before Ganbu Lada could make a move, he had already moved first. Facing three Half-step Divine Emperors, Jiang Chen was not afraid in the least. He took the lead and charged out of their encirclement. The three of them showed no restraint and came straight at Jiang Chen. In their eyes, Jiang Chen did not know whether he lived or died. They were three Half-step Divine Emperors. How could Jiang Chen alone possibly be a match for them? This guy was simply throwing an egg at a rock.

But as soon as they clashed, Ganbu Lada’s face changed completely. He had not expected Jiang Chen’s strength to be so terrifying. With a single punch, he was knocked back dozens of steps, his face ashen. The terrifying recoil injured him gravely outright. The other two Half-step Divine Emperors could not withstand Jiang Chen either. Jiang Chen struck out with both fists, and the two of them were sent flying in a sorry state. The moment the three of them made their move, they were driven back by Jiang Chen. With just one move, Jiang Chen had already placed himself in an unbeatable position, while the three of them wore all kinds of expressions. They finally knew how terrifying this guy really was.

The might of a single punch from Jiang Chen made all three of them pale, his momentum frightening.

“What are you waiting for? If you don’t strike now, when will you? Ganbu Lada, kill him for me! Leave no one alive! The glory of my Tuying Clan will never be allowed to be trampled on at will.”

With Songzan Kangdi’s low shout, the faces of Ganbu Lada and the other two changed again, becoming extremely dark.
