Chapter 242: Confronting Tiancan!

"Hahaha!"

The Tiancan Daoist heard Jiang Feng's words, suddenly burst into a cruel laugh, his face covered with a ferocious grin.

"What a clueless kid! Miao Elder, Old brother, out of respect for Yitian Pavilion's face, is willing to give this kid a way out, but he stubbornly refuses gratitude and insists on crashing into a dead end—this is no fault of Old brother!"

He slowly turned, his gaze falling on Miao Linfeng, and opened with a mocking remark.

"It seems your well‑intentioned effort is worth nothing in this kid's eyes!"

Miao Linfeng's complexion instantly turned extremely embarrassed.

Even she, at this moment, couldn't help silently blaming Jiang Feng.

Why is this youngster so impulsive?

The Tiancan Daoist is a Half-step Celestial Being; to provoke him is nothing but courting death, isn't it?

But when she reconsidered, the effect of the complexion‑stabilizing pill forged by Jiang Feng was astonishing, and it held great value for Yitian Pavilion; she truly didn't want to watch Jiang Feng be killed with her eyes wide open.

Thus, Miao Linfeng took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and prepared to speak a few more kind words for Jiang Feng.

But at that moment, Xu Congyang stopped her.

"Miao Elder, absolutely not!"

Xu Congyang wore a look of deep grief and lowered his voice to Miao Linfeng.

"How long will you continue to help Jiang Feng? It is because of your bottomless indulgence that he has become so arrogant, daring to provoke even a Half-step Celestial Being!"

"The Tiancan Daoist is also a Half-step Celestial Being, his strength unfathomable. If, because of Jiang Feng alone, we completely offend him, and he were to strike us secretly inside the Wu Zun Ruins, sabotaging Yitian Pavilion's major undertaking, who could bear that responsibility?"

"By then, not even obtaining the opportunities within the Ruins will matter; whether we can even survive is a question! To risk the entire Yitian Pavilion's interests for such an arrogant kid is far not worth it!"

Xu Congyang's words were like a revelation, instantly enlightening Miao Linfeng.

Her heart gave a sudden thump.

Indeed! This time, the most important thing is the Tianmu Wu Zun Ruins.

Given the Tiancan Daoist's strength, if he intends to make things difficult, everyone from Yitian Pavilion who enters this time is certain to die.

The crucial point is that Jiang Feng truly was too impulsive; he was already safe, yet he insisted on provoking.

She has already done all she can; there is no need to, for his sake, drag herself and Yitian Pavilion into the mire.

The Tiancan Daoist saw Miao Linfeng's hesitation, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He stepped forward, his tone icy.

"Miao Elder, Old brother has already given Yitian Pavilion enough face; must Yitian Pavilion truly be so excessively deceitful, insisting on protecting this clueless kid, and fight Old brother Not Die Not Rest?"

As he spoke, the aura around him surged again, and a terrifying pressure enveloped Miao Linfeng.

Miao Linfeng felt the Tiancan Daoist's pressure, and her body trembled slightly.

At this moment, she finally sensed the gap between her strength and the Tiancan Daoist's; just now managing to block one of his moves was truly luck.

She inhaled deeply and slowly spoke to the Tiancan Daoist.

"This matter, Yitian Pavilion will no longer intervene."

After saying that, she turned to look at Jiang Feng, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Master Jiang, sorry, I did my best."

"What? Yitian Pavilion is not intervening?"

"My heavens! Now Jiang Feng is completely finished!"

"I told you, he's too arrogant; now no one protects him, let's see how he goes wild!"

These words burst forth, and the reception hall instantly erupted.

Jiangnan Wang's ecstatic joy could no longer be restrained, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Good! Miao Elder is wise! This kid is a scourge, he should have been left to perish long ago! Senior Tiancan, now that no one protects him, kill him quickly!"

Xu Congyang stood aside, a smug smile curling his lips, his eyes full of schadenfreude.

He had long found Jiang Feng displeasing; now Jiang Feng is about to be killed, he felt indescribably delighted.

The Tiancan Daoist's ferocious grin grew broader, and he slowly turned his head to look at the Qin Family patriarch Qin Feihong.

"Family Head Qin, do you know whether the Qin Family still wishes to intervene in this matter?"

Qin Feihong gave Jiang Feng a faint glance and shook his head.

"The Qin Family is merely the host, responsible for gathering everyone to explore the Ruins; private grudges, the Qin Family finds it inconvenient to intervene."

Earlier, he spoke out of Yitian Pavilion's face, and he had no personal connection with Jiang Feng.

Moreover, just now, he grew somewhat weary of this clueless kid.

The Tiancan Daoist nodded satisfactorily, a flash of mad murderous intent in his eyes.

He stepped toward Jiang Feng, his aura becoming increasingly terrifying.

"Kid, now no one protects you anymore; you're completely finished! Just now you were so arrogant, weren't you? You wanted Old brother to apologize, to spare Old brother's life? Now, show Old brother another burst of arrogance!"

As soon as the words fell, the Tiancan Daoist stopped any further talk.

A terrifying force instantly gathered on his right palm. His hand turned as black as ink, emitting a destructive aura.

"Meet your death, kid!"

The Tiancan Daoist let out a fierce shout, his figure darting like a specter toward Jiang Feng.

His right palm, bearing world‑shattering force, slammed down hard onto Jiang Feng's chest.

That palm employed eighty percent of his strength!

Clearly he intended to obliterate Jiang Feng in a single blow, leaving him no chance to even regret!

"It's over! Jiang Feng is doomed!"

"If this palm lands, even a Grand Master of Nine Grades would be shattered to pieces!"

"What a pity, such a young Grand Master, gone like that!"

Everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear seeing Jiang Feng being shattered by a single palm.

In their view, Jiang Feng this time was indeed certain to die.

Jiangnan Wang widened his eyes, staring intently at Jiang Feng, his face brimming with excitement and anticipation, as if he had already witnessed Jiang Feng being blasted into a meat‑mush picture.

Miao Linfeng also slightly turned his head, unable to bear watching this cruel scene.

But at the instant the Heaven-Scarred Daoist's palm was about to strike Jiang Feng's chest, Jiang Feng moved.

He neither dodged nor retreated, but simply raised his right hand lightly!

"Buzz!"

A massive surge of Golden True Qi burst from Jiang Feng's body, instantly coalescing in his palm.

"What?"

The Heaven-Scarred Daoist's complexion changed, a flash of surprise flickering in his eyes.

He could feel that the force of Jiang Feng's palm was actually far stronger than he had expected!

But at this moment, his palm could not be retracted, so he had to grit his teeth, drive the palm force to the limit, and strike down hard!

"Bang!"

A deafening roar, like a startling thunderclap, rang Throughout the Qin Family Manor!

The massive shockwave even made the eyes of those nearby instantly lose focus…

When the shockwave Gradually faded, all people Shock discovered that the two silhouettes still Standing in place, palms tightly pressed together.

Jiang Feng, expressionless, withdrew his palm and spoke lightly.

"You, is that all your ability?"

But at this moment, the Heaven-Scarred Daoist's face was full of Shock.

His arm Trembling slightly, a massive recoil force emanating from his palm, causing the Qi within his body to become somewhat chaotic.

He could feel that Jiang Feng's power was far stronger than he imagined, even faintly suppressing him!

"This... how could this be possible?"

The Heaven-Scarred Daoist let out a voiceless shout, his voice tinged with Shock.
