Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Accompanying You to Death

Under Wen Bufan’s menacing gaze.

Jiang Chen’s expression was cold. He shot Wen Bufan a disdainful look.

"Heh."

He just offered him one word: "Heh."

Just like that.

"You will always be a loser to me."

"Wen Bufan, oh, Wen Bufan. I was actually waiting for you. I just didn’t expect you to bring me such a big surprise."

The Fire Sparrow that everyone was kneeling to might as well have been thin air to Jiang Chen.

He couldn’t even be bothered to look at it.

"You..."

Wen Bufan was about to explode with rage. Jiang Chen wasn’t playing along at all.

For someone with a mere Seventh Heaven Warrior Cultivation, his nerve was bigger than the sky.

But Jiang Chen ignored Wen Bufan and looked up at the Fire Sparrow in the sky.

"So this is the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Guardian Fire Sparrow?"

He was a little surprised. He had, of course, heard of the Fire Sparrow.

He raised his head and looked at the projection of the Fire Sparrow’s will.

Suddenly, he spoke. "Fire Sparrow, I’ll give you one chance. Submit to me now."

"Otherwise, I’ll see to it that your soul is scattered to the winds."

What?

Jiang Chen had actually started threatening the Fire Sparrow—the supreme Guardian Fire Sparrow of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Although this was just a sliver of its will, it was still the Fire Sparrow’s will.

It was undoubtedly connected to the mind of the Guardian Fire Sparrow in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

This wisp of will even possessed its own independent consciousness.

The Fire Sparrow, which had been flying high and mighty in the air, heard Jiang Chen’s words.

As a Guardian Beast, its prideful temper flared.

"SCREEE..."

It spread its wings, its body dozens of meters wide, blanketing the sky.

It released its majestic aura.

At that moment, it abruptly lowered its head to look at Jiang Chen.

Its fiery red eyes were filled with an eerie, bloodthirsty light.

A vicious glint flashed in its eyes as it shrieked, "Puny human, you’re courting death! How dare you offend my dignity?"

"Today, I will turn you to ash."

The Fire Sparrow’s voice instantly echoed throughout all of Hanwu City.

In that instant, everyone kneeling in Hanwu City, whether they were ordinary people or Martial Cultivators, was scared out of their wits.

They all cursed the person who had angered the Fire Sparrow.

"Which damn bastard disrespected our Guardian Beast?"

"Kill him! He deserves to die!"

The crowd roared with curses.

Jiang Chen stared up at the Fire Sparrow, his face a mask of indifference.

"A mere wisp of a Fire Sparrow’s will dares to act so presumptuously before me?"

"Today, I will grind your bones to dust."

What?

Hearing Jiang Chen’s even more arrogant words...

The Fire Sparrow was truly enraged.

Truly, no one had ever dared to speak to it like this. Even the Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom treated it with the utmost respect. And now, some punk with a paltry Seventh Heaven Warrior cultivation was humiliating it like this.

Threatening to grind its bones to dust.

"You are simply heedless of your own life and death."

"Pill Fire."

The Fire Sparrow glared at Jiang Chen and let out a sharp cry.

The cry echoed above Hanwu City, causing the kneeling crowd to prostrate themselves even more devoutly.

At the same time, plumes of burning flames rose from the Fire Sparrow’s body.

Like an erupting volcano, its oppressive might bore down on all living things. It was terrifying.

*THUMP!*

Terrified by the Fire Sparrow’s power, Wen Bufan collapsed back to his knees.

Even Lin Hai and the Martial King Puppet fell to their knees.

Before, they had been on one knee. Now, they were on both.

Fear gripped everyone in the Jiang Family.

Jiang Chen had provoked the Fire Sparrow again and again.

It made them want to beat the life out of him.

But no one dared to raise their head.

Even Liang Yiyi was terrified.

Yet she stubbornly refused to kneel.

’I hope Young Master will be alright.’

She was ready at a moment’s notice to rush forward and help Jiang Chen fend off the danger.

As the Fire Sparrow cried out,

the flames on its body blazed intensely. This was the Fire Sparrow’s Pill Fire.

The fire was brewed from the Beast Pill within its body.

Among Demon Beasts, those capable of producing Pill Fire were exceedingly rare.

This Fire Sparrow, however, possessed a trace of the Vermilion Bird’s bloodline, which gave it the ability to create Pill Fire.

But the trace of Vermilion Bird bloodline it possessed was so minuscule it was almost negligible.

Even so, the power of its Pill Fire was horrifying.

It could incinerate an entire city.

"Now, die."

"I sentence you to death."

The Fire Sparrow let out a low cry, its words to Jiang Chen cold and merciless.

Immediately, a streak of crimson flame descended from the sky, hurtling down to burn Jiang Chen to nothing.

It was determined to incinerate him.

Before Jiang Chen could even move, all the members of the Jiang Family behind him were shaken.

Jiang Han even cried out in warning, "Chen’er, be careful!"

He knew it was over. Jiang Chen was sure to die this time.

But he was completely powerless to save him.

He could only watch helplessly as Jiang Chen was about to be burned to death by the Fire Sparrow’s Pill Fire. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He hated it, hated his own lack of strength.

He even wanted to immediately summon the Jiang Family’s Infinite Sword Array.

But he could feel that the Infinite Sword Array would be completely unable to suppress the Fire Sparrow.

"Young Master..."

"I’m coming to save you!"

Liang Yiyi was terrified, yet she charged forward without a second thought, trying to help Jiang Chen block the flames descending from the sky.

As Jiang Chen faced this crisis, she was the first to rush to his side.

So solitary, yet so sincere, without a hint of impurity.

For her Young Master, she did not fear death.

The hem of her yellow dress swayed, a poignant and beautiful sight against the approaching inferno.

"Sigh..."

A sigh was heard.

Just before Liang Yiyi could reach him, Jiang Chen grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"Ah..."

Liang Yiyi was stunned.

She stared blankly at the descending flames, her mouth agape.

She was truly stunned. Jiang Chen’s sudden embrace made her face flush red.

She was filled with shyness.

A single thought echoed endlessly in her mind.

’Maybe... I’ll get to die with the Young Master!’

She smiled, a blissful smile.

For Jiang Chen, she had no fear of life or death.

She seemed to understand that her Young Master had also decided to meet his end in this sea of fire.

Then, she suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Chen’s neck.

"Young Master, if we have to die, then I’ll die with you,"

she said, speaking her heart’s desire aloud.

Her arms squeezed even tighter around Jiang Chen’s neck.

She awaited the incinerating flames.

Jiang Chen looked at Liang Yiyi with a strange expression.

But his heart was filled with warmth.

’There’s someone willing to risk everything to save me when I’m in danger.’

’In this world, how many people would truly risk their lives for another?’

’Is this woman... not worthy of my protection?’

’Although my heart still belongs only to the Orchid Fairy... perhaps, if I tried, I could make a small space for this Maid.’

’After all, she disregarded her own life for me.’

’At this moment, she is truly beautiful.’

For a moment, it was as if he was seeing the Orchid Fairy.

Her smile was enough to stir one’s heart.

He had never realized that Liang Yiyi could be so beautiful and moving.

Finally, he looked at Liang Yiyi with deep affection and said softly, "Silly girl, we’re not going to die."

"Anyone in this world can die, but not me, and not my woman. Do you understand?"
