Chapter 244: Mighty Heavenly Human Ye Jinghong

Boom!

A deafening blast roared, like an atomic bomb exploding, echoing through the heavens!

The Heavenly Remnant Daoist's black energy sphere collided violently with Jiang Feng's golden twin fists!

The two terrifying forces erupted instantly, forming a massive mushroom cloud that shot skyward!

The dreadful shockwave spread outward, and the Golden Light Shield set by the Qin Family's founding patriarch shuddered violently, its glow dimming as spiderweb-like cracks spread across it.

Not good!

Qin Feihong's complexion changed, and he hurriedly circulated his true qi, trying to reinforce the Golden Light Shield.

But it was already a step too late!

Crack!

With a crisp snap, the Golden Light Shield shattered instantly, turning into countless specks of light that dispersed into the sky.

The shockwave surged like a wild horse unbridled, crazily sweeping around the reception hall!

The walls of the reception hall were destroyed in an instant.

The entire Qin Family Manor trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck!

The surrounding Grand Masters each circulated true qi, resisting the shockwave's assault.

Even so, many were knocked back by the shockwave, blood spilling from their mouths, their faces turning pale.

Even top Grand Master Miao Linfeng retreated dozens of steps in a disheveled manner, only then managing to steady his stance.

Qin Feihong's figure flickered as he circulated true qi, forming invisible barriers that blocked the remaining shockwave.

After completing all this, he finally halted, his eyes filled with shock as he stared at the shattered Golden Light Shield.

So strong! Truly too strong!

If they can all step into the Heavenly Human Realm in the future, I'm afraid even I, in my old age, would be killed with a single strike!

His words once again sent a wave of dread through everyone.

Even Qin Feihong, who has reached the Heavenly Human Realm, says this, which proves how terrifying Jiang Feng and the Heavenly Remnant Daoist's power is!

As the dust gradually cleared, the scene at the center of the arena reappeared before everyone.

Everyone widened their eyes, their faces showing even more astonishment.

Jiang Feng and the Heavenly Remnant Daoist still stood where they were, the ground between them turned to scorched earth, riddled with cracks.

Although Jiang Feng's complexion was slightly pale, he appeared to have not a single injury?

How could this be possible!

Conversely, the Heavenly Remnant Daoist was no better; his face was as white as paper, his aura had weakened considerably, clearly bearing serious injuries.

Most shocking was that both stepped back a pace, presenting an unmistakably even match!

This... how could this be possible?

Jiangnan Wang shouted again, his voice lost.

The senior Heavenly Remnant Daoist has already comprehended the Heaven and Earth Will and gave his all, yet he still hasn't slain Jiang Feng? They actually fought to a draw?

Xu Congyang's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He simply couldn't accept that Jiang Feng could match a Heavenly Remnant Daoist who had comprehended the Heaven and Earth Will!

Miao Linfeng gazed at Jiang Feng in the center, his regret deepening.

Jiang Feng's strength was far beyond what she had imagined!

She had missed such a top-tier powerhouse with her own eyes; this is a massive loss for the Lingnan Sword Sect!

My heavens! Mr. Jiang actually fought the Heavenly Remnant Daoist, who had comprehended the Heaven and Earth Will, to a draw! That's utterly defying destiny!

What kind of monster is Jiang Feng? His age, his power— they completely rewrite my Knowledge!

From now on in the jianghu, a new top-tier powerhouse is bound to emerge!

The Heavenly Remnant Daoist stared at Jiang Feng, his eyes filled with resentment and even a hint of awe.

He had given his all, wielding the comprehended Heaven and Earth Will, yet still couldn't defeat Jiang Feng, even ending in a draw, which filled him with unprecedented humiliation and terror.

At his advanced age, this is his first encounter with such a formidable opponent!

Even deep in his heart, a wave of helplessness rose.

At this moment, Jiang Feng's displayed strength already gave him a hint of despair.

He even felt that, even if he gave everything, he might not move the kid an iota.

No! I don't believe it! I could never lose to a mere kid!

The Heavenly Remnant Daoist roared, a flash of madness crossing his eyes.

He once again circulated the remaining true qi in his body, the black flames on him reigniting, ready to launch the next attack.

He was utterly enraged; even if he gave his all, he would kill Jiang Feng!

Jiang Feng stared at the charging Heavenly Remnant Daoist, his gaze hardening.

Stop!

At this critical moment, an aged and imposing voice suddenly came from afar.

From distant to near, it instantly rang across the entire Qin Family Manor!

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw a white figure, descending slowly from the distant sky as if the earth had been compressed to inches.

The newcomer was an elderly man clad in a white long robe.

A faint sword aura swirled around him, making it hard to look directly.

Sect Leader of the Lingnan Sword Sect, Ye Jinghong! So the Sect Leader Ye has arrived in person!

Ye Jinghong?

At those words, the whole venue erupted in a roar.

The Lingnan Sword Sect, as a top cultivation Faction in the jianghu, has a resounding reputation.

And Ye Jinghong, as the Sword Sect's Master of a Sect, is also a legendary Heavenly Human Realm strongman!

It is rumored that he entered the Heavenly Human Realm thirty years ago, his sword Art has Divine Communication, and he is one of the few top big shots in the jianghu!

Everyone knows the Lingnan Sword Sect will send representatives to explore the Wu Zun Ruins.

But no one expected that it was Ye Jinghong, the Master of a Sect, who came in person!

This treatment is simply beyond imagination!

"My heavens! It's Sect Leader Ye! It's really Sect Leader Ye!"

"I never imagined I'd see a top big shot of the Heavenly Human Realm in my lifetime; this life is worth it!"

Voices of discussion rose and fell, and everyone's gaze toward Ye Jinghong was filled with awe.

Even Qin Feihong hurried forward a step, lightly clasping his fists.

"Sect Leader Ye, your illustrious arrival, I, Qin, have failed to welcome you from afar; forgive me, forgive me!"

Tian Can Daoist looked at Ye Jinghong, and the pitch‑black flames on his body instantly subsided.

Facing a true Heavenly Human Realm strongman, his Comprehension of a hint of Heaven and Earth Will as a Half-step Celestial Being is simply insufficient.

Ye Jinghong's gaze swept the entire venue, lingering on no one, and he walked straight toward Jiang Feng at the center.

A faint Laughter even appeared on his face, and with a hint of resignation he spoke.

"You little madman, you never stay still wherever you go…"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene, as if struck by lightning, their Brain a blank.

What's going on?

Ye Jinghong, a top big shot of the Heavenly Human Realm, actually knows Jiang Feng?

And judging by the Tone, the two's relationship seems more than ordinary?

Tian Can Daoist's complexion instantly turned extremely grim, and an ominous foreboding rose in his heart.

Jiang Feng looked at Ye Jinghong who had come before him, the cold on his face eased a bit, and he helplessly shouted.

"I've seen Old Ye."

Ye Jinghong nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the pale‑faced Tian Can Daoist beside him, instantly understanding what had happened.

He turned around, his gaze falling on Tian Can Daoist and Jiang Feng, and he spoke slowly.

"Both of you, the Wu Zun Ruins are about to open; how about this: for the sake of my face, you may suspend the battle today."

"All grudges can be settled after you emerge from the Wu Zun Ruins; when the time comes, you may fight however you wish, and I, Old brother, will not interfere. How does that sound?"

Ye Jinghong's words also gave both parties a way out.

So everyone present, upon hearing this, let out a sigh of relief.

Tian Can Daoist's complexion fluctuated, and after a long while he took a deep breath.

"Since Sect Leader Ye has spoken, Old brother will naturally grant you this face! Today's matter shall be put on hold for now!"

Everyone looked at Jiang Feng, assuming he would also follow Ye Jinghong's concession.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Feng slowly shook his head.

"I will give Old Ye his face, but he injured my friend; he must apologize to my friend."

"If he apologizes today, I can spare his life; if not…"

"Then he dies!"
