"Dad, are you okay?"
Wen Bufan rushed to his father’s side and quickly helped him up.
Only then did the others from the City Lord’s Mansion react. Wu Feng, Lin Hai, and the rest hurried forward.
Their faces were pale as death, and they stared at the injured City Lord with lingering fear.
They didn’t understand what had just happened.
After being helped up, Wen Quan still felt awful all over.
Fresh blood continuously trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"COUGH, COUGH..."
He coughed a few tis before looking at Jiang Chen in utter shock.
Jiang Chen, however, stood there with a calm and composed expression, as if nothing had happened.
This shocked Wen Quan even more.
He recalled the earlier encounter. Jiang Chen hadn’t actually hard him; instead, just as his attack was about to land, he had been struck by a backlash from his own Fire Sparrow Seal.
He spat out another few mouthfuls of blood.
Wen Quan waved his hand at Wen Bufan and the others. "Stand back."
He was incredibly unwilling to accept this. To be defeated just like that, by the weak Jiang Chen.
"Dad, your injuries..."
Wen Bufan started to say.
But Wen Quan cut him off, and the others all fell silent.
They didn’t dare to speak.
Wen Quan swayed for a mont before managing to steady himself. The Fire Sparrow Seal within him was also gradually calming down.
The backlash had severely injured him, but Wen Quan could still fight.
He took a few steps forward.
Staring at Jiang Chen, Wen Quan bood, "I refuse to be defeated by soone who’s rely at the Warrior Seventh Heaven!"
Wen Quan was indignant, unwilling to be defeated by Jiang Chen so easily.
He had to test Jiang Chen again.
At the sa ti, he wanted to confirm a suspicion.
He rembered that when Qin Muxue had previously called off the engagent, she had taken Elder Resentnt to the Jiang Family. In the end, Elder Resentnt returned severely injured, claiming it was due to a backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal.
Today, he had encountered the exact sa situation.
’Why would the Fire Sparrow Seal cause a backlash?’
’Could it have sothing to do with Jiang Chen?’
He slowly advanced.
Moving closer to Jiang Chen.
The atmosphere in the arena grew tense once more.
Because Jiang Chen and Wen Quan were about to fight again.
It was an unconventional battle.
Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unusually calm.
He watched Wen Quan with an icy gaze.
The backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal was terrifying. He could see that Wen Quan was now gravely injured, with little of his Combat Power remaining.
Of course, even so, if it ca down to pure Combat Power, Jiang Chen was still no match for Wen Quan.
Jiang Chen’s entire advantage lay with the Fire Sparrow Seal.
"Jiang Chen, again!"
Wen Quan roared, his body shooting forward in an instant.
As he moved, he activated the Fire Sparrow Seal once more, his entire body bursting into flas.
It wasn’t just that he refused to accept defeat; the most crucial thing was to understand if Jiang Chen’s presence was truly affecting the Fire Sparrow Seal.
He wanted to get to the bottom of this.
He was ready to risk it all, even if it ant suffering another backlash.
Wreathed in flas, Wen Quan appeared before Jiang Chen and thrust out a palm.
Within his palm, the power of the Fire Sparrow Seal condensed into a Firebird, which shot toward Jiang Chen with a shriek.
Jiang Chen gave a faint, indifferent smile.
"Then I’ll show you what happens when the descendant ets the ancestor."
"Vermilion Bird Seal, backlash."
He didn’t move a muscle. He simply stood there and uttered those words softly.
That’s right, he didn’t even lift a finger.
It was as if he didn’t even need to fight Wen Quan.
The Jiang Family mbers were once again dumbfounded.
’Is Jiang Chen being too arrogant? He’s not even fighting back!’
However, what they saw next changed their minds completely.
"RUMBLE..."
Wen Quan hadn’t even gotten close to Jiang Chen when he felt the Fire Sparrow Seal inside him begin to roar.
An endless inferno began to burn within his body—the backlash had started.
’The backlash is starting again?’
Wen Quan’s expression changed drastically.
The Fire Sparrow Seal was backlashing before he even got near Jiang Chen.
This outco was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
But he had no ti to think. The backlash from the Fire Sparrow Seal was simply unstoppable.
It crushed his internal defenses in an instant, and he couldn’t suppress it at all.
His insides churned violently.
"AHH..."
Wen Quan cried out and collapsed to the ground.
He began to twitch uncontrollably.
He desperately tried to suppress the Fire Sparrow Seal’s backlash raging within him.
That single mont had nearly cost him his life.
After so ti, a severely weakened Wen Quan stopped convulsing and slowly climbed up from the ground.
He looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of terror.
"Who are you?"
"Who in the world are you?"
"Why can you make my Fire Sparrow Seal backlash?"
"What kind of person are you?"
He questioned Jiang Chen frantically.
He had figured it out. The Fire Sparrow Seal’s backlash was because of Jiang Chen.
This was the second ti it had happened.
It was a situation that was almost impossible to believe.
But he was certain that Jiang Chen was the cause.
He had heard Jiang Chen ntion the word "backlash" twice now.
If Jiang Chen could cause the Fire Sparrow Seal to backlash, didn’t that an anyone in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom who practiced the Fire Sparrow Seal would be defeated before a fight even began?
What a terrifying thought.
’I must report this to the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.’
’This man... he’s an absolute monster.’
These thoughts kept surfacing in Wen Quan’s mind. With Jiang Chen in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the kingdom would be powerless against him.
Jiang Chen could even threaten the fate of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom at any mont.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he beca, and a cold sweat broke out on his skin.
Jiang Chen replied coolly, "I am no one. I am ."
"You... have lost."
Wen Quan trembled violently, not just from the backlash, but from the agony of being defeated by soone so much weaker.
It was a feeling worse than death.
"You..."
"Who in the hell are you?"
"Jiang Chen, you’re not Jiang Chen! The Jiang Chen I know is just a useless piece of trash! You’re not trash, so you can’t be Jiang Chen..."
Wen Quan was on the verge of madness. His intuition scread at him.
The person before him was not the idle, utterly useless Jiang Chen from before.
He stared intently at Jiang Chen.
He beca more and more convinced that his judgnt was correct.
At that mont, Jiang Chen’s expression changed.
This was the first ti soone had suspected his true identity.
After all, his reincarnation was his greatest secret.
His face turned cold, and he snapped, "You’re courting death."
"Vermilion Bird Seal, backlash!"
He needed to shut Wen Quan up.
The backlash started once more.
"AHHH..."
Sure enough, Wen Quan was imdiately hit by the backlash. It could even be triggered when he wasn’t attacking Jiang Chen.
He let out a pained scream and scrambled backward in a hurry.
At the sa ti, seeing their City Lord in trouble, the n from the City Lord’s Mansion rushed forward.
They stood guard against Jiang Chen.
Wen Bufan, in particular, looked at Jiang Chen as if he had seen a ghost.
Jiang Chen had once again snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, completely turning the tables.
How infuriating.
"Damn bastard..."
He trembled with rage.
But there was nothing he could do about the young man before him.
Sheltered by the experts from the City Lord’s Mansion, Wen Quan flashed a savage grin at Jiang Chen and suddenly shouted, "Jiang Han, that’s not your son!"
"He isn’t Jiang Chen! He is definitely not your son, Jiang Chen!"
The crazed Wen Quan yelled this out in the direction of the Jiang Family.
He had voiced his suspicion.
The scene instantly fell silent.
He’s not Jiang Chen, not Jiang Chen....
