I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 142 I will not offend others unless they offend me.

Fang Hongxiu and the other two were very sensible and would not covet any benefits that they should not have.

This is also an important factor in Jiang Chen's willingness to associate with them. In this treacherous world, Jiang Chen has witnessed a lot of intrigue and backstabbing.

He particularly dislikes that kind of person.

Under Fang Hongxiu's insistence, Lin Cai'er had no choice but to compromise, and the five of them formed a team and signed up.

There are ten days left until the 100th Professional Tournament.

The competition was to be held in Hangzhou, the capital of the Divine Dragon Empire.

Teaming up with Jiang Chen filled everyone with confidence. Fang Hongxiu excitedly clenched her fist and said, "Let them not team up with us, they deserve to not win the championship."

Liu Cui tugged at her clothes and advised, "Don't say that, they were never going to win the championship."

Zhang Yang nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

Just as they were getting excited, someone suddenly blocked their way.

Fang Hongxiu frowned: "Who are you?"

The person who arrived was Chen Ziming.

Jiang Chen recognized him; he had seen him before in the dungeon hall.

It is said that he is the grandson of the dean of Baili Academy.

Chen Ziming coldly questioned, "Lin Cai'er, why are you with this guy?"

His eyes were fixed on Lin Cai'er, filled with jealousy.

Lin Cai'er was holding Jiang Chen's hand, and it was clear that the intimate gesture between the couple had displeased Chen Ziming.

His eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy.

Lin Cai'er revealed a hint of disgust: "Is it any of your business?"

Chen Ziming said angrily, "It's none of my business! You are my fiancée."

Lin Cai'er retorted sharply, "Shut your mouth! You came to my door to propose marriage and I rejected you, and then you told others that I was your fiancée."

Her tone was resolute, and her eyes flashed with anger.

"What, have you started to believe your own lies after telling so many?"

"If there's something wrong with your head, go see a good therapist instead of going crazy here."

Lin Cai'er retorted angrily, "I haven't held this against you because our two families have been friends for generations. If you dare to say that again, I will tell Grandpa and have him teach you a lesson." Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised, not expecting the usually gentle Lin Cai'er to have such a formidable side.

Lin Cai'er's face turned bright red. In her anger, she kept glancing at Jiang Chen, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't react.

After being thoroughly scolded by Lin Cai'er, Chen Ziming's face turned pale, then red, and then white.

Chen Ziming was indignant, his chest heaving with jealousy.

He retorted defiantly, "Fine, fine, fine, Lin Cai'er, this isn't over yet. Remember, you are my woman, Chen Ziming's woman, and no one can take you away!"

Then he turned around and snorted coldly, his words full of threat: "You brat, you're dead. I'll kill you sooner or later."

Lin Cai'er drew her dagger and threatened, "If you want to die, just say so."

Flames rose from Jiang Chen's palm, accompanied by a surge of killing intent.

Fang Hongxiu and Liu Cui also drew their longswords with a swift motion, ready to fight at any moment.

Although Chen Ziming's status was far higher than theirs, at this moment, Jiang Chen and Lin Cai'er were their comrades-in-arms.

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from the sky.

"Who are you going to kill?"

As the immense aura surged down, Chen Ziming felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, letting out a painful scream before collapsing to the ground.

Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, indicating he was injured.

In mid-air, Hong Shen stared at Chen Ziming with a murderous look in his eyes.

"You...you want to kill him?"

Chen Ziming was utterly shocked.

Why is Hung Kei-shek here?

He had heard before that Jiang Chen and Hong Jishi were related, but he hadn't taken it to heart.

Who is Hong Jishi? How could he possibly be related to Jiang Chen? But now…

A storm raged within Chen Ziming's heart.

Lin Cai'er put away the dagger, her angry expression vanished, and she sweetly called out to Hong Jishi, "Grandpa Hong."

Hong Jishi nodded: "Chen Ziming, I'm asking you a question, who are you going to kill?"

Chen Ziming was terrified and shook his head frantically: "Lord Hong, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."

Hong Jishi snorted: "Get lost. If there's a next time, I'll personally hand your head over to Chen Dezhong."

Chen Dezhong is the dean of Baili Academy.

Hong Jishi's words startled Chen Ziming so much that he trembled.

Chen Ziming fled in a sorry state.

Hong Jishi landed from the sky, and Fang Hongxiu and the other two quickly bowed and greeted him.

In the Divine Dragon Kingdom, one may not know the king, but it is impossible not to know Hong Jishi.

The name of Hong Shen is too great.

Hong Jishi looked at Jiang Chen: "If I hadn't shown up, were you planning to make a move?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "If he wants to kill me, I'll kill him first."

Hong Jishi asked, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the forces behind him? His grandfather is Chen Dezhong, the dean of Baili Academy."

“Level 81, a top-tier professional, is far beyond your current capabilities to contend with.”

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I've thought about it. I'll kill him and then teleport to your place."

"If you protect me, then there's no problem."

"If all else fails, send me to the Otherworld Battlefield."

"If this doesn't work, then I might as well die."

Jiang Chen had already thought through the consequences very clearly.

Hong Jishi said in a deep voice, "You're gambling with your life." Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, I think you'll protect me."

"So confident?" Hong Jishi looked at Jiang Chen with newfound respect.

I never expected this kid to think so clearly.

Indeed, if Chen Ziming were killed, there would only be one of these possible outcomes.

"I'm not sure, it's just a feeling."

Hong Jishi suddenly burst into laughter.

"Good, good lad, you have the style I had back in the day."

“There are indeed things to do, so don’t worry about the consequences. Just like the ancient Catholic priest you killed, once you’ve killed him, you’ve killed him.”

"Old Lin razed the Guro Papacy to the ground, and they didn't dare utter a sound."

"Remember, might makes right."

Hong Jishi became more and more satisfied with Jiang Chen.

Not many words, but decisive and ruthless, without any hesitation or timidity. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Hong Jishi tossed a cooling talisman back to Jiang Chen: "I've already sent you the upgrade method. Once you've collected enough materials, I'll help you find someone."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay."

"Your new task has been assigned to you. Get to work on it now."

After Hong Jishi finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Hongxiu and the other two.

"You three are not bad either." After saying that, Hong Jishi soared into the sky and flew away. In his eyes, Fang Hongxiu and the other two dared to attack Chen Ziming, which was already quite good.

At least they have enough courage.

Unlike some people, who are cowardly as mice.

Without courage, how can one be strong?

Jiang Chen checked the communicator.

Lin Cai'er opened her big eyes and leaned closer: "What task did Grandpa Hong give you?"

After reading it, Jiang Chen said softly, "Let me go to Fortress No. 3 to kill the Abyss Demons. I need to be at least a two-star lieutenant."

"Is it really that simple?" Lin Cai'er felt it couldn't be that simple.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Not only that, sometimes elemental realms appear outside Fortress No. 3. Hong Shen asked me to retrieve the elemental crystals from the elemental realms."

Elemental Realm?

Lin Cai'er shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it.

Jiang Chen said, "I happened to look at some information about this yesterday. The alien battlefield outside Fortress No. 3 is also known as the Elemental Plain."

"A large-scale battle once broke out there, with nearly a hundred elemental mages who had reached the third rank and unleashing more than a thousand forbidden spell attacks in total."

"That land was transformed into elements, and many elemental creatures were born from it."

It was after that great battle that the area came to be known as the Elemental Plains.

Lin Cai'er's eyes shone with curiosity: "Elemental monsters? I've never seen one before. What would they be like?"

She doesn't seem to be afraid of danger at all.

It's mostly out of curiosity.

Jiang Chen said, "We'll find out when we go take a look."

They agreed to meet in Hangzhou in ten days.

The two traveled to the alien battlefield via a teleportation array.

Both of them now hold military ranks. Lin Cai'er is a private and can use the teleportation array to reach Fortress No. 3 at the furthest point.

Jiang Chen is a second lieutenant. Even without a star, he is qualified to reach Fortress No. 5. Fortress No. 3 requires at least a colonel.

Military rank is a symbol of military merit and strength. This aligns well with the survival rules of this world.
