Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 38

Ch 38: Red Lightning

……

Jiang Chen still didn’t know that he was being watched and swaggered into the Imperial Stable.

After showing his name, the Horse Official led him to a stable.

“Lord! Take a look at these horses and see which one you like.”

*Jiaolong* Colts are very precious and must be raised in open stables, and two *Jiaolong* Colts cannot be raised in one stable, otherwise they will fight each other to the death.

“Which of the *Jiaolong* Colts here is the best?”

Jiang Chen asked directly.

“That would of course be Red Lightning.”

The Horse Official said with some pride, “Other horses can run up to seven thousand *li* a day at most, but if you let Red Lightning run freely, it can run ten thousand *li* a day, but…”

“But what?” Jiang Chen looked at the Horse Official and asked.

“It’s just that Red Lightning has an extremely violent personality, and it is difficult for anyone to subdue it. Even some Grandmaster Realm experts can’t do anything about it.”

“Let’s go, take me to see it.”

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in the Horse Official’s eyes, knowing that someone was about to make a fool of themselves again.

“Yes! Lord.”

The Horse Official led Jiang Chen to a stable.

A female monkey was tied to the trough of the stable, boredly scratching the lice on its body.

“Why do you keep a monkey in front of the stable?”

Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

“Lord, you don’t know, a female monkey’s menstruation can prevent plagues from occurring in the stable.”

The Horse Official explained to Jiang Chen, “We also call this kind of monkey *Bima Wen*.”

“I see.”

Jiang Chen thought to himself and strode into the stable.

“Humph…”

A fine horse with a body as red as flames, shimmering fur, and as if leaping out of a painting, was quietly standing in the stable, closing its eyes to rest.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by the arrival of Jiang Chen and the Horse Official.

Red Lightning slowly opened its eyes, and a clear dissatisfaction was revealed in its deep and spiritual eyes, obviously very unhappy with their disturbance of its rest.

Jiang Chen stood aside, his eyes fixed on this fine horse, with a look of admiration flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but admire, “What a fine horse! No wonder ordinary people can’t tame it. This wildness is like that of a hero who has walked off the battlefield.”

After saying that, Jiang Chen stepped forward without hesitation, reached out and grabbed Red Lightning’s mane, and with this force, he flipped over and steadily rode on Red Lightning’s back.

“Roar!”

The fine horse suddenly let out a high-pitched and angry neigh, obviously furious at Jiang Chen’s sudden attack.

It didn’t react at first, but when it felt Jiang Chen riding on its body, it immediately raised its front hooves high, as if to throw Jiang Chen off its back.

Immediately afterward, the fine horse began to struggle frantically, swaying from side to side, trying to get rid of Jiang Chen’s control.

However, Jiang Chen sat firmly on the horse’s back, his fingers tightly gripping Red Lightning’s mane.

The Horse Official immediately retreated, shaking his head secretly, “It seems like it’s going to fail again.”

At this tense and confrontational moment, Jiang Chen suddenly snorted coldly. Then, he took a deep breath, his chest bulging as if accumulating all his strength and majesty, and then roared, “Be quiet!”

This roar was no small matter, containing the majestic sound of a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s howl, an elephant’s bellow and a lion’s roar, as if the most powerful creatures in nature were speaking together at this moment, instantly spreading throughout the entire horse farm, even penetrating the thick wooden walls of the stable, echoing in every inch of space.

Those *Jiaolong* Colts who were originally leisurely or restless in their respective territories were shocked by this sudden roar.

An unbelievable and fearful look flashed in their eyes instantly.

So, they stopped all their movements in unison, involuntarily retreated, and some even huddled in the corner, looking at the source of the sound with horrified eyes.

And Red Lightning, which bore the brunt of the roar, was so frightened that it kept pacing back and forth, its hooves crushing the ground.

Its own physical fitness was already comparable to that of a Grandmaster Realm expert, and it was the best in this horse farm, usually unruly and self-respecting.

But under this roar, it felt an unprecedented fear from the depths of its bloodline, a reverence originating from ancient memories, causing it to tremble involuntarily, as if facing some irresistible destiny.

Jiang Chen’s roar not only shocked all the *Jiaolong* Colts, but also quieted Red Lightning down.

A delicate balance permeated the air, as if the entire horse farm had stood still at this moment.

Just like a dog seeing a lion or a tiger, a real beast, a hidden fear will be triggered in the bloodline.

Jiang Chen touched its neck to calm it down gradually.

The Horse Official outside the stable couldn’t help swallowing.

“Red Lightning has actually been subdued! It’s unbelievable.”

“Aren’t you going to bring me the saddle and reins?”

With Jiang Chen’s roar, the Horse Official immediately woke up as if from a dream and brought a brand-new saddle and reins to put on Red Lightning.

After putting them on, Jiang Chen led it away from here.

Looking at Jiang Chen’s gradually departing back, the Horse Official couldn’t help wiping the sweat from his forehead.

But then he thought about it and couldn’t help but smile, “Finally sent this plague god away.”

……

After returning to the yard, Jiang Chen took out the two Great Revitalizing Pills.

After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed them in one gulp.

The medicinal power of the Great Revitalizing Pill is much stronger than that of the Small Revitalizing Pill, and one pill can save thirty years of hard cultivation.

Moreover, compared to the Small Revitalizing Pill, the Great Revitalizing Pill can also increase the user’s comprehension, allowing them to better comprehend advanced cultivation methods.

It’s like a genius and an ordinary person reading the same book for a day, the knowledge they can gain is vastly different.

He swallowed the two Great Revitalizing Pills and began to quickly circulate the second level of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Fist.

Unlike directly using Sin Points to enlighten, he needed to comprehend and cultivate every move of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Fist himself.

It’s just that this speed was operating rapidly as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.

Entry, Skilled, Proficient, Accomplished.

This feeling only dissipated quietly after cultivating to the Accomplished stage of the second level.

“Huff…”

Jiang Chen reopened his eyes and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“It seems that my aptitude is still too poor. It actually took sixty years to cultivate the second level of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Fist to the Accomplished stage.”

In this world, a martial artist’s aptitude is divided into Ordinary, Intelligent, Genius, Evil Genius/Prodigy, and Innate Saint.

Generally speaking, the method of testing is to cultivate a cultivation method called Azure Water Art.

Those who condense internal energy outside of seven days are ordinary people.

Those who condense it within seven days have Intelligent aptitude.

Those who condense it within one day are geniuses.

Those who condense it within a quarter of an hour are Evil Genius/Prodigy.

After reading it, those whose internal energy generates on its own are Innate Saint aptitude, as long as they get some opportunities, they can soar into the sky and directly break through to the Martial Saint Realm.
