Chapter 233 The Humiliated Zhang Jian
Chapter 233 The Humiliated Zhang Jian
Zhang Jian stared at Jiang Zhong who suddenly fell from the sky in astonishment, and asked in a lost voice: "Who are you?"
Jiang Zhong's eyes swept across the Flame Dragon Armor beside him, and only a hint of doubt flashed across his face. Then his eyes were as cold as ice, locking onto the evil fire not far away.
The evil fire felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if it was locked by an ancient giant beast. It trembled involuntarily and retreated rapidly, trying to create some distance.
He was terrified and shouted without caring about his dignity: "Evil wood, evil earth, evil gold, evil water, come to help! I can't defeat it alone!"
However, what responded to him was a burst of sneers from Emu: "Ridiculous! Do you think we can fight him with just the five of us?"
After saying that, Emu launched a fierce attack on Bei Miao, and then used the cover of the black domain to instantly disappear from everyone's sight and escape.
"Hmph, you think you can escape with just these trivial tricks?" Jiang Zhong was about to use his special skills, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway. Mo San pounced on him desperately, tightly wrapped around his body, and let out a deafening roar.
Faced with this sudden change, Jiang Zhong's expression frightened, and he quickly elbowed out, knocking Mo San to the ground heavily. However, this delay gave Emu and others an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the Black Domain had quietly disappeared into the invisible world.
"Bastard!" Jiang Zhong was furious. He threw Mo San into the air with a knee strike, and then slammed him in the face with an extremely powerful Shura Palm. Mo San screamed in pain and staggered.
Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, Jiang Zhong swung his sword several times, the blade flashed like lightning, leaving sparks flying all over Mo San's body. The scene was thrilling.
Zhang Jian witnessed Jiang Zhong's heroic figure, and the fire of unwillingness burned in his heart. He punched the ground hard, used the force to stand up, held the flaming knife tightly in his hand, pushed hard with his feet, and rushed to the battlefield like an arrow, vowing to take back the glory that belonged to him.
"Get out of the way! I should have been the one to finish him off!" Zhang Jian roared, his voice full of determination. However, Jiang Zhong just smiled contemptuously, not only did he not give in, but he deliberately slowed down his movements, as if he was playing a trick on his opponent.
As Zhang Jian passed by Jiang Zhong, he gave him a cold look, then he focused all his attention, and the flaming sword turned into a red lightning, pointing directly at Demon Three.
When Demon Three saw this, a hint of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. He rushed forward unwillingly, and the two sides collided, causing a deafening roar.
However, the gap in strength was clearly revealed at this moment. Zhang Jian was blown away like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground. The Flame Dragon Armor disintegrated, revealing his embarrassed figure.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with shock: "How is this possible..."
"In front of that guy, Mo San was completely defenseless, so why did I end up like this?" Zhang Jian murmured to himself, full of confusion and unwillingness.
"Of course it's because you're not strong enough." Jiang Zhong replied calmly, his eyes flashing with a sharper light. The Shura Purgatory Blade in his hand once again turned into a sharp blade light, cutting through the air and accurately slashing at the Demon Three.
The arrogance of Demon Three was extinguished in an instant. He ran away with his head in his hands, trying to resist the endless sword light, but it was all in vain. He could only watch himself being submerged by the sword light and completely lost the power to resist.
......
Seeing that the shadow guardians did not come back, Jiang Zhong's eyes became even colder.
"It seems that you have completely lost your usefulness." He swung out the God and Demon Soul Forbidden Slash without hesitation. With a flash of the blade, the three demons were blown to pieces in an instant, without even a trace left.
Then, he glanced coldly at Bei Miao who was watching coldly on the side, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. When he turned to Zhang Jian, the sarcasm became even stronger: "This is the person you carefully selected to replace Xinnan? It's really disappointing."
"It's certainly not easy to find a suitable successor, but to choose so hastily is a joke." Jiang Zhong's words were full of disdain, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Jian's abilities.
Zhang Jian was furious when he heard this. He struggled to sit up and glared at Jiang Zhong, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction on him: "It's just my first transformation, and I haven't been able to fully control the power of the armor! If you hadn't interfered, I would have been able to grow rapidly in actual combat and defeat these enemies one by one!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhong simply glanced at Zhang Jian with a hint of pity in his eyes. He then turned his gaze to Bei Miao and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the person you chose is not only lacking in strength, but also not mature enough in mind."
Bei Miao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it. He pursed his lips tightly, did not refute, and just remained silent.
Facing Bei Miao's silence, Jiang Zhong shrugged lightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his figure flashed, using the technique of teleportation, and he disappeared in front of the two people in an instant, leaving only a string of meaningful laughter echoing in the air.
"Stop! If you have the guts, challenge me as a human being!" Zhang Jian's provocative voice echoed in the air, but failed to calm his inner anxiety.
At this tense confrontation, a steady force came from behind him, and a big hand quietly fell on his shoulder, stopping him steadily.
Zhang Jian turned around suddenly, with disbelief flashing in his eyes. It was Bei Miao who appeared behind him and subdued him in an unquestionable manner.
"What do you mean? Why are you stopping me?" Zhang Jian's tone was mixed with anger and confusion, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Bei Miao's response was calm and profound: "I do this to avoid unnecessary conflicts. It is a fact that you are far from being his opponent at the moment."
"Far from..." Bei Miao's words were filled with unquestionable determination, and every word struck Zhang Jian's heartstrings.
Zhang Jian's face suddenly changed, and his clenched fists revealed his inner struggle and unwillingness: "What right does he have to belittle me and say that I am not as good as Li Xinnan? Could it be that he was the former owner of this Flame Dragon Armor?"
Bei Miao nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhang Jian's guess, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
Zhang Jian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He stared at Bei Miao and asked with gritted teeth, "So, tell me, who is better, me or Li Xinnan?"
Facing Zhang Jian's questioning, Bei Miao fell into a brief silence. In his heart, although Li Xinnan lacked leadership, his extraordinary fighting ability was impeccable.
As for Zhang Jian, he may have unique advantages in obedience and execution, but this is not enough to constitute the only criterion for judging the pros and cons.
Bei Miao's silence, in Zhang Jian's view, was a kind of silent contempt. His anger was instantly ignited, and he almost broke through the constraints of reason and exploded.
However, at this critical moment, he still needed to suppress the impulsive power and find a more rational way out.
Seeing this, Bei Miao gently patted Zhang Jian on the shoulder and encouraged him: "The potential contained in the Flame Dragon Armor is an unfathomable treasure. I firmly believe that given time, you will be able to fully tap its power and show your glory."
"When that day comes, not only will you be able to surpass Li Xinnan's achievements, but even a strong man like Jiang Zhong will no longer be your opponent." Bei Miao's words were full of recognition and expectations for Zhang Jian's potential.
Hearing this, the fierceness in Zhang Jian's eyes gradually turned into a determined light.
He gritted his teeth and swore to himself: "Indeed, I am only just beginning to dabble in the power of armor, and have not yet reached the level of perfection. But I, Zhang Jian, will remember this humiliation in my heart, and will repay it with a hundred times more effort and achievement!"
He knew that the humiliation he suffered today would be the source of motivation to push him forward. Zhang Jian secretly vowed to make himself more proficient in the control of armor until no one could defeat him, and let those who had looked down on him regret their short-sightedness.
