ACSP: Chapter 122: Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan is far too taxing to use!
"Jiang Chen, you... how did you two survive?"
Li Dala stared wide-eyed, looking at Jiang Chen and Lei Li in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
The power of that explosion just now was enough to destroy everything within a 10-li radius.
And Jiang Chen and Lei Li were previously at the very core of the blast; the impact they endured must have been the most violent.
Even with Lei Li's Lightning Armor protecting him, it should have been nearly impossible to survive.
But who could have imagined?
Not only were these two not killed by the blast,
they didn't even have a single scratch on them.
This was simply incredible.
Although Song She stood to the side without speaking, his face was likewise filled with unprecedented shock.
He knew Jiang Chen possessed Susanoo and that his defensive measures were much stronger than an average person's.
But the problem was,
given the power of that explosion just now,
even Susanoo probably shouldn't have been able to withstand all the blast damage, right?
"I have my own ways of surviving..."
Jiang Chen didn't say much; he kicked aside a broken beam in front of him and walked out from the ruins.
Although he had just used Kagutsuchi in conjunction with Susanoo to withstand the blast from Puppet City,
it had also completely exhausted the Ocular Power of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
At this moment, he only felt a wave of intense weakness constantly stimulating his brain.
Even his vision was gradually starting to become blurred.
"Damn, Sasuke Uchiha's early Mangekyo Sharingan is far too taxing to use..."
"It seems I need to level up sooner and unlock the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan as quickly as possible."
Jiang Chen calmly pressed his forehead, thinking silently to himself.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was unwilling to reveal what had happened, Li Dala turned his gaze toward Lei Li, who was still standing there in a daze: "Hall Master Lei, what exactly happened here just now? The power of that explosion was so terrifying; how did you and Jiang Chen come out unscathed?"
Hearing this, Lei Li finally snapped out of his shock.
He turned his head and gave Jiang Chen a fearful look, then said with a solemn expression: "I'm not entirely sure what happened exactly. I only saw Jiang Chen use a skeletal frame with extremely strong defense to protect us, and then that skeletal frame was even draped in a layer of armor manifested from black flames..."
As Lei Li recounted everything he had seen earlier,
unprecedented looks of horror gradually appeared on the faces of Li Dala and Song She.
Especially Song She; he had personally witnessed how terrifying Jiang Chen's Amaterasu black flames were before.
His former dead partner, Jiang Sha, had died under the incineration of those black flames.
However, he remembered that the black flames were supposed to be just a Fire Release skill with terrifying burning power.
How was it that, according to Lei Li, those black flames could now change shape at will?
—Swoosh!
—Swoosh!
—Swoosh!
...
While the three of them were talking,
a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from around the ruins.
"Everyone be careful, someone is coming..."
Li Dala's gaze sharpened, and his expression instantly became alert.
As he spoke, he had already thrust his hands into his pockets and stuffed two balls of Explosive Clay into the mouths on his palms.
Song She and Lei Li also subconsciously moved in front of Jiang Chen, intentionally or unintentionally shielding him behind them.
They could tell that Jiang Chen's current state was not very good.
If anyone from Kang City wanted to harm him at this time, it would be disastrous.
In the next second,
over a dozen figures suddenly flashed into view, landing around them at extreme speed.
"It's the people from the Wang Mansion..."
Lei Li reminded them in a low voice.
This Wang Mansion was the manager of the North District of Kang City. Although its leader, Ling Kai, had only contracted an Elite Jonin who only knew Taijutsu, his strength was extremely formidable.
If it were a matter of pure Taijutsu, even Lei Li would have to be wary of him.
"Lei Li? Was it you who destroyed this Puppet City?"
At that moment, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows stepped out from the crowd and asked, looking at Lei Li.
This person was the boss of the Wang Mansion and the former City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Kai.
"Hehe! So it's Brother Ling Kai from the Wang Mansion!"
Lei Li grinned and looked at the other party with a steady gaze: "Today is a matter between me and Old Granny Yan. Why? Do you want to step in as well?"
Ling Kai couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.
He had already known about the complete fallout between Puppet City and the Thunder God Temple.
However, he didn't believe that Lei Li could take down Puppet City all by himself.
His gaze swept past Lei Li and turned toward Li Dala and Song She standing nearby.
Li Dala from Puppet City?
Song She from the Evil God Organization?
Why were these two guys with Lei Li?
Could it be that Li Dala betrayed Puppet City, worked with Lei Li from the inside, and then teamed up with people from the Evil God Organization to destroy Old Granny Yan's Puppet City?
Ling Kai imagined many possibilities in his mind and finally came to this conclusion.
—Boom!
Just then, another figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing directly on the ruins in front of Lei Li.
"Who caused that massive explosion just now? It collapsed my stage! My fans worked so hard to build that for me; you must compensate me for my losses..."
The newcomer was Cai Kun, who had rushed over from the South District.
As he spoke, he swept his angry gaze across Lei Li and the others.
A moment later.
His gaze suddenly locked onto Ling Kai: "Was it you?"
"It wasn't me, I just arrived as well."
Ling Kai hurriedly shook his head and explained.
Although this Cai Kun didn't belong to any faction, he had a massive fan base, and behind those fans were numerous large and small powers; Ling Kai didn't want to be hounded by him because of this.
"Not you? Then it was you?"
Seeing Ling Kai deny it, Cai Kun immediately shifted his gaze to Lei Li.
"Yes, I did it. I'll compensate you for your losses..."
Lei Li admitted it without hesitation.
The bombing of Puppet City was too big an event; he estimated all the factions in Kang City would come to check the situation soon.
Jiang Chen was in poor condition; he had to shake these people off and leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be trouble if the people from the Evil God Organization arrived.
Cai Kun nodded with a smile: "As expected of Hall Master Lei, owning up to your actions. It seems you're not that annoying..."
Lei Li said solemnly: "Don't waste time. Tell me what compensation you want."
"No rush, I need to think about this carefully..."
Cai Kun rubbed his chin and fell into thought.
Although Lei Li was anxious, he didn't rush him.
After all, he didn't want anyone to see that he wanted to leave this place quickly.
That would only be counterproductive!
After a while.
Cai Kun suddenly thought of something exciting and looked at Lei Li with a smile: "How about this: the auction in the East District is about to start, and many people will surely be there. I want to hold a 100,000-person concert there. You help me set up the venue..."
Lei Li was prepared to pay up, but he froze when he heard Cai Kun's request.
What the heck?
A venue for a 100,000-person concert?
And in the East District?
Wasn't this just making things difficult for him?
