The Brilliant Fighting Master

Chapter 1591: Behind the Times

This Venerable Sovereign was very young. For Martial Sovereigns, 50 was kind of young. And this one was a man in his early 40s. He looked extraordinarily dignified.

He was wearing a wide, dark green robe and a close-fitting flaming red war suit inside it. He naturally reminded people of ambitious, successful people. His eyes flashed with intelligence.

If he had been ten years younger and with no beard, it would be absolutely fitting to call him a handsome man.

Jiang Chen suddenly laid his eyes on the right index finger of this Venerable Sovereign. Then he turned pale. A familiar ring had come into his sights.

Jiang Chen was wearing one that looked exactly the same. It was the Divine Fire Ring.

This meant that he was one of the inheritors of the Flame Emperor. In theory, since the two of them were from the same world, the Divine Fire Ring should have warmed up in warning. But somehow, it didn’t.

Even when they were only six miles away from each other, their Divine Fire Rings still didn’t react.

No matter what Jiang Chen was thinking, the Venerable Sovereign was still staring at the bronze cauldron.

It was natural that he was tempted. Actually, all those who had seen the amazing power of the bronze cauldron wanted it.

“Give it to me!”

The Venerable Sovereign didn’t care whether Jiang Chen agreed or not. He stretched out his hand as if he was going to take something.

For a second, Jiang Chen felt that the bronze cauldron was going to be beyond his control. He focused and regained control of the bronze cauldron. His reaction was quite surprising.

Anger showed on the Venerable Sovereign’s face.

“You know what this means?” the Venerable Sovereign asked coldly.

“It means if you want to get the bronze cauldron, you’ll have to kill me first,” said Jiang Chen.

“You don’t think I dare?”

As he spoke, the Venerable Sovereign launched another attack, intending to take the bronze cauldron away from Jiang Chen by force.

In this process, Jiang Chen himself could be heavily injured.

“Xiao Hongxue, what are you doing?” At this moment, Lin Yu’eru showed up.

She was dressed all in white. Her black hair looked like a waterfall.

The Venerable Sovereign called Xiao Hongxue frowned. But he stopped.

“You are the vice leader of the Sovereign Spirit Palace. How can you rob a man of his treasure?” Lin Yu’eru scolded him severely in front of everyone. She didn’t let him off the hook.

Everyone in the city was shocked.

Lin Yu’eru was only a Martial Arts Saint at the peak, while the one she was facing was a Venerable Sovereign. But those who knew the inside story understood why she had the nerve to do that.

Just like Long Xing, Lin Yu’eru had been living for more than five centuries.

Xiao Hongxue was one of the three vice leaders of the Sovereign Spirit Palace and one of Long Xing’s apprentices.

Long Xing cared about Lin Yu’eru, so his three apprentices also treated her with respect.

However, people change.

Xiao Hongxue usually wouldn’t talk back to Lin Yu’eru.

But he’d just been scolded in front of so many people. Xiao Hongxue snorted as he said, “Treasures belong to those with virtues. I’m one of the young Venerable Sovereigns. It’s more than enough to prove I’ve been recognized by the Natural Law.”

Since the news about the Natural Law had spread, being recognized by the Natural Law had become a hot expression.

However, no one thought it arrogant and overconfident for Xiao Hongxue to say that. Instead, they thought his argument really would hold water.

For the moment, every Venerable Sovereign was their hope to overcome calamity.

“But he, a Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage, is relying on the Holy Artifact to run amok and hurt people. He is nothing but a scourge.”

Xiao Hongxue sounded very righteous. He shouted, “All races, all forces, which one of you hasn’t been harmed by Jiang Chen?”

“Exactly!”

“That’s right!”

All of Jiang Chen’s enemies agreed. They all hoped Jiang Chen would suffer. The more he suffered, the better.

But of course, most people there knew the essence of this incident was a robbery.

However, since one of the two parties was a Venerable Sovereign, they chose to stay silent.

In many cases, those who stay silent are also accomplices of the criminal.

Lin Yu’eru was really pissed off by Xiao Hongxue now.

She’d seen Xiao Hongxue grow up, but she felt she didn’t know him anymore. And she knew the reason why.

Xiao Hongxue was one of the few Venerable Sovereigns. He had paramount power. It was natural that his mindset had changed.

“Leader Xiao, Jiang Chen killed my son. Please help me seek justice,” Meng Luohe was smart. In order to give Xiao Hongxue an excuse, he asked the latter to seek justice for his son.

However, he wasn’t smart enough.

“Why? Is the Wu State relying on the Sovereign Spirit Palace now,” Jiang Chen asked sarcastically.

Meng Luohe was startled. Not until then did he recall that he was in the camp of the Xia.

And Xiao Hongxue was from the Sovereign Spirit Palace.

He hurried to look toward the team from the Wu State. He saw the royal family of the Wu State looking very anxious.

And the royal family members of the Xia all looked very cold.

Instantly, he turned as pale as a ghost and began sweating heavily.

“Leader Xiao, he killed some of the disciples of the Monster Slayers Palace in the ancient relic. Please help us seek justice,” an elder of the Monster Slayers Palace said immediately.

She was a member of the Sovereign Spirit Palace. It was reasonable for her to ask for Xiao Hongxue’s help.

“The biggest problem with your accusation is that nothing that happened in the ancient relic is supposed to be settled here.”

Lin Yu’eru smiled coldly. Looking at Xiao Hongxue, she said, “Hongxue, if you start this, the rule of the Sovereign Path will be ruined.” She spoke to him in the way a senior speaks to a junior.

Xiao Hongxue rolled his eyes. Then he threw all of the members of the Day Breakers a glance.

“I won’t do anything for anybody. But I must have that bronze cauldron. This is an opportunity given by the Natural Law.”

Xiao Hongxue didn’t want to make things complicated. He declared straightforwardly that he was going to take it by force. In the name of the Natural Law.

“Was it really just because of the Natural Law that you became a Venerable Sovereign?” Lin Yu’eru couldn’t put up with him anymore.

Xiao Hongxue had gotten arrogant and too big for his britches since he had been a Venerable Sovereign. He was talking about the Natural Law all the time.

He had no idea at all that Jiang Chen was responsible for the Sovereign Spirit Project.

Xiao Hongxue frowned. He certainly didn’t understand what Lin Yu’eru meant.

“My master’s instruction also mattered on my way to becoming a Venerable Sovereign.”

He thought Lin Yu’eru intended to use his master to crack down on him.

Lin Yu’eru was going to respond when Jiang Chen stopped her.

“If you want the bronze cauldron, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush and use the Natural Law as an excuse. You are nothing for the Natural Law,” Jiang Chen said disdainfully.

Xiao Hongxue was annoying. Most important, that was really who he was.

He thought himself outstanding and it was the Natural Law’s recognition for which he had been made one of the first Venerable Sovereigns in the last few thousand years.

Jiang Chen had never thought that his Sovereign Spirit Project would’ve created such a guy.

“Nothing?”

Everyone was shocked to hear what Jiang Chen called a Venerable Sovereign. The biggest reason that Xiao Hongxue was behaving this way was that people respected and admired Venerable Sovereigns too much.

When a thing is rare, it becomes precious.

If it had been 500 years ago, it would have amazed the world that Jiang Chen had become a Martial Arts Saint so young.

However, in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts, people didn’t attach much importance to Martial Arts Saints.

“You’ve irritated me successfully! I’ll use your death to cool myself down,” Xiao Hongxue said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy of a Venerable Sovereign broke out.

“Hongxue! Won’t you even listen to me?” Lin Yu’eru yelled.

“I’m very grateful for what you taught me when I was young, but you’ve been living for too long. You are already behind the times.”

Xiao Hongxue shook his head. He didn’t restrain himself at all.

“What about me? Am I behind the times too?”

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
