Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse - Chapter 77
Chapter 77: I’m Not as Foolish as You, Don’t Expect Me to Go and Die with You
“Finally here?” Jiang Chen’s expression remained unchanged.
He had anticipated this! The Yang Sect was the first to occupy this place, it would be strange if the Yang Sect Master did not come!
“I can’t even discern his realm!” The Yang Sect Master frowned, which was surprising to him.
He was unable to see through Jiang Chen’s realm.
This meant that the opponent either had a divine weapon that shielded perception or was much stronger than him, making him unable to discern the opponent’s realm.
If it was the former, he might be able to handle it.
But if it was the latter, even he might be in danger.
It meant the opponent was at least a Saint Realm, a true Saint.
“Are the three elders of our sect killed by your hand?” The Yang Sect Master’s gaze fell on Jiang Chen, his vast aura spreading out, almost enveloping Jiang Chen completely.
This was a form of test. He wanted to know if the other party could withstand his pressure. If they could, it meant the opponent was not weak.
If not, then it indicated the opponent was inferior to him!
“Are you referring to the people who tried to kill me at the gate earlier? If so, yes, I did take action!” Jiang Chen’s demeanor was calm, as still as an ancient well, openly admitting it. Facing the Yang Sect Master’s aura, he remained unaffected.
‘No effect, and he even admitted directly! This means the opponent is not afraid of me!’ The Yang Sect Master frowned, pondering in his heart, unsure of how to proceed.
The elders and disciples of his sect died at Jiang Chen’s hands. As the sect master, he naturally could not ignore it. But the other party was very confident, and he couldn’t see through his realm, making the Yang Sect Master very hesitant.
What if the other party was a Saint? If he took action, wouldn’t he be throwing himself into the fray? Having cultivated for many long years and finally reaching this realm, he didn’t want to fall here.
“Why hasn’t the Yang Sect Master made a move yet?”
“The other party has openly admitted it, yet he can still restrain himself?”
“It seems the Yang Sect Master is very wary of the opponent. Otherwise, given his character, he would have taken action long ago!”
“What realm is that person, to make even the Yang Sect Master hesitate!”
The surrounding cultivators were shocked. The notoriously temperamental Yang Sect Master was actually able to restrain himself. Known for his bad temper, anything displeasing to him would result in decisive action.
Like a walking volcano.
Yet, after hearing that the three elders were slain, and the other party even admitted it, he dared not take action!
“Good thing I didn’t make a move earlier, or I’d be dead by now!”
Many felt fortunate. Even the Yang Sect Master was behaving this way, then the opponent’s strength must be unimaginable.
Had they not been able to restrain themselves, their fate would likely be the same as those people.
Directly eradicated, unable to resist.
“This guy is quite cautious!” Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. He thought the other party would hastily take action upon knowing.
However, unexpectedly, there was no action taken.
Seemingly wary of something.
After a long while.
The Yang Sect Master still did not act, but he didn’t leave either. The flickering in his eyes indicated he was still thinking, still hesitating. And with the treasure ahead, he had to consider carefully!
After about two hours.
Boom.
Another quasi-saint’s pressure swept through.
This time, an elderly figure appeared, with white hair and close to his end, his body filled with wrinkles, as if he could die at any moment!
The appearance of the elder immediately attracted the attention of many.
“Supreme Elder!” Seeing the elder’s arrival, the Yang Sect Master exclaimed!
“What’s going on, why haven’t you taken action? I heard that a number of disciples from our sect were killed?” The Supreme Elder frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.
Because one of the three elders who died was his grandson. Now that the enemy was in front, the Yang Sect Master was just standing there instead of taking action.
“I can’t see through this person’s cultivation level!” The Yang Sect Master’s gaze flickered, truthfully answering: “I suspect his cultivation level is at least at the Saint Realm!”
“With such existence, even if you and I join forces, we might not be the opponent’s match!”
Hearing this, the elder cursed softly: “Fool! If he truly was at the Saint Realm, wouldn’t we be able to sense the unique aura of the Saint Realm? You are not unfamiliar with the Saint Realm either!”
“The unique aura of the Saint Realm, only those who have stepped into this realm can perceive it! If he really was at the Saint Realm, no matter how much he concealed it, we would be able to perceive it! Unless he is atleast at the Great Saint realm.
The elder sneered: “Great Saints are so rare, how could one possibly come here? If the opponent is really at the Great Saint Realm, then it’s just our bad luck, to die is to die!”
‘Well, you certainly don’t care. You’re only left with a few years of life. I still have hundreds, even thousands, of years of life left.’ The Yang Sect Master cursed inwardly.
This old man was nearly at the end of his life, so dying now didn’t matter to him. But it’s different for him, he still has a long life ahead.
How could he say die and just die!
“You’re afraid?” The elder saw through the Yang Sect Master’s thoughts.
This guy seems to be hot-tempered but is actually very cautious and afraid of death. Unless there’s a sure win, he won’t make a move. Now, even without confidence, he dares not act!
“I am afraid!” The Yang Sect Master honestly answered.
“You!” The elder was infuriated, this guy didn’t even try to cover it up!
Damn it.
He had never seen someone so cowardly.
And yet, such a cowardly person became their sect master.
“If I had known this earlier, I would have let your junior brother take the position!” The elder regretted deeply, had he known the sect master would be so cowardly, he would have let someone else take the position, not him!
“Let’s not talk about the past, you had no choice but to push me at the time! And since I took the position, I did what you wanted, didn’t I? If it weren’t for me, would you have survived back then?”
The Yang Sect Master disdainfully said: “I know you want to find some treasures to extend your life! I don’t oppose this, you can strive for it yourself, but I will definitely not help you!”
“I don’t want to be dragged down by your death!” As he spoke, the Yang Sect Master distanced himself from the elder.
Cautiousness and cowardice were his life’s mottos, deeply ingrained and unlikely to change easily.
Given the current situation, he had no confidence at all.
Naturally, he wouldn’t act. And the arrival of the elder also gave him a glimpse of a chance.
Rather let this old immortal try it out; he can then understand how strong the opponent really is.
If the opponent is mediocre, he can take advantage of the situation to make a move and gain a share. If the opponent is as strong as he suspect, having someone else die for him works too!
