Chapter 245: Tian Can's Apology? (Update)

"You brat, you've gone too far! Old brother will fight you!"

Tian Can Daoist was utterly enraged by Jiang Feng's words and erupted in an instant.

He is already a Half-step Celestial Being, famous for decades, and has never endured such humiliation.

Being forced by a kid to this extent, and having to apologize publicly to a Grand Master, is even more painful than being killed!

Amid his roar, the black flames on Tian Can Daoist's body flared wildly again.

The remaining true Qi in his body burst forth without reservation, even driving that sliver of comprehension of Heaven and Earth Will to its limit.

His figure turned into a streak of black light, bearing a world‑shattering might, and lunged at Jiang Feng again!

This time, even if it means a mutual destruction, he will kill the kid!

"How dare you!"

Seeing the scene, Ye Jinghong frowned and shouted loudly.

Before the words left his mouth, Ye Jinghong lightly tapped a fingertip.

"Buzz!"

An invisible sword aura instantly coalesced.

Moving at ultimate speed, it seemed to pierce space and time, cutting straight toward Tian Can Daoist.

Tian Can Daoist's complexion changed dramatically, a strong sense of danger surged in his heart, and his hair stood on end.

He could feel the terror of that sword aura, far scarier than his own full‑force attack!

He tried to dodge, but found his body seemed locked by an invisible force, unable to move at all!

"Pfft!"

With a light sound, the sword aura instantly struck Tian Can Daoist's chest.

Tian Can Daoist let out a muffled hum, spouting a large mouthful of jet‑black fresh blood, his body flying backward like a kite with its line cut.

The black flames on his body were instantly extinguished, his aura became exceedingly weak, and his face turned as pale as paper.

He lowered his head to look at his chest, where a shallow bloodstain had suddenly appeared.

The seemingly minor wound instantly disrupted the true Qi within him, and his Meridians suffered a slight tremor.

"This… is the power of the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Tian Can Daoist muttered to himself, his voice tinged with a hint of trembling.

Just a sword aura flicked between his fingers almost ruined him!

Everyone present was stunned by the scene, their faces full of shock.

"My god! Sect Leader Ye is amazing! In a snap they gravely wounded Tian Can Daoist!"

"Is this the terror of the Heavenly Human Realm? It's utterly unfathomable!"

Jiangnan Wang's face was now filled with terror.

He had previously hoped that Tian Can Daoist would kill Jiang Feng.

Now it seems, with Ye Jinghong protecting him, Jiang Feng is as steady as Mount Tai; no one can touch him!

Ye Jinghong coldly stared at the Tian Can Daoist on the ground.

"Fellow cultivator, it seems you haven't taken Ye some seriously?"

Tian Can Daoist struggled to get up, only to find his whole body weak, collapsing clumsily on the ground, his heart filled with bitterness!

Clearly it was Jiang Feng who bullied him excessively, forcing him to apologize.

Yet Ye Jinghong not only didn't blame Jiang Feng, but also struck him!

This is outright favoritism! It's damn bullying!

But he dared not utter it, not even daring to cast a resentful glance.

Facing a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse like Ye Jinghong, he had no right to resist.

Ye Jinghong's gaze shifted to Long Bad Dao, who was being carried nearby.

"This is the Long Family's direct descendant, Long Bad Dao, right? Fellow cultivator, your strike was so heavy just now that it nearly destroyed his cultivation foundation. Is it excessive to make you apologize?"

"Long Family direct descendant?"

"Just this simpleton?"

Hearing that, Tian Can Daoist's face flushed bright red; he hadn't expected that even a casually injured simpleton could have such a terrifying background.

But the thought of being forced to apologize to a junior made him even more indignant.

He clenched his teeth so hard his lips were about to bleed.

Ye Jinghong watched Tian Can Daoist linger in silence, their gaze turning slightly cold.

"If you, fellow cultivator, are unwilling to apologize, you may leave on your own. But I, Ye, can guarantee that from now on you will never again have a chance to enter the Wu Zun Ruins!"

Those words were like the final straw, completely crushing Tian Can Daoist's mental defense.

Entering the Wu Zun Ruins and breaking through the Heavenly Human Realm had been his lifelong pursuit.

Compared with the chance to break the Heavenly Human Realm, what does this humiliation amount to?

Tian Can Daoist inhaled deeply, forced his humiliation down, and staggered toward Long Bad Dao.

He lowered his head, his face iron‑blue, his voice sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Young Master Long, I'm sorry! It was this old brother who struck too hard just now, nearly injuring your foundation. I, the old brother, apologize to you!"

"Boom!"

With those words, the entire scene fell into dead silence again!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the unfolding scene.

The proud Half-step Celestial Being, Tian Can Daoist, actually apologized publicly to Long Bad Dao!

"My god! I'm not seeing things, am I? Tian Can Daoist actually apologized!"

Long Bad Dao, though his aura was waning, now had a faint satisfied smile on his face.

His gaze toward Jiang Feng was full of gratitude.

Having a brother who would stand up for him, this life is worth it!

After the Heavenly Ruin Daoist apologized, he did not linger and glared fiercely at Jiang Feng.

Then his figure flashed and vanished from everyone's sight.

He now didn't want to stay here for even a moment.

Ye Jinghong looked at Jiang Feng, a trace of helplessness in his smile.

"Is that enough? You little madman, you really can't take any loss!"

The chill on Jiang Feng's face finally melted.

He looked at Ye Jinghong and gave a gentle nod.

"Thanks, Elder Ye, for stepping in to help."

"You, huh!" Ye Jinghong shook his head helplessly.

"Fine, now that the matter is settled, quickly take your friend for treatment. His meridians are seriously damaged; if delayed, it may leave lasting aftereffects."

Jiang Feng hummed, said no more, and walked straight to Long Bad Dao.

Long Bad Dao stared at Jiang Feng, about to speak, when Jiang Feng hoisted him up like a sack.

"Hey! Jiang Feng! What are you doing? Put me down!"

Long Bad Dao instantly panicked, struggling to get down.

He is, after all, a direct grandson of the Long Family and a Grandmaster Fifth Rank strongman; being hoisted like that is utterly disgraceful!

But Jiang Feng ignored him, carrying him toward the outside of the reception hall.

"Jiang Feng! Let go of me! I can walk on my own!"

Long Bad Dao shouted in a collapsing panic, his face flushed bright red.

The onlookers, seeing this, could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Ye Jinghong watched Jiang Feng's departing back, a hint of contented smile on his face.

Qin Feihong stepped to Ye Jinghong's side, bowing humbly.

"Sect Leader Ye, I didn't expect you to know Mr. Jiang; it truly surprised Qin Feihong."

Ye Jinghong gave a faint smile.

"This kid once stayed with me for a while; consider him a half‑disciple."

"What? A half‑disciple?"

Qin Feihong's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

He never imagined Jiang Feng had such a background! Being Ye Jinghong's half‑disciple is downright terrifying!

Miao Linfeng heard this, and the regret in her heart deepened.

Ye Jinghong ignored the crowd's shock and asked Qin Feihong.

"Family Head Qin, when exactly will the Wu Zun Ruins be opened?"

Qin Feihong quickly regained his composure.

"Replying to Sect Leader Ye, we still await the Taoists of Qingxiao Sect; once they arrive, it can be opened in a few days."

Ye Jinghong nodded.

"Alright, during this period, please, Family Head Qin, take extra care."

Elsewhere, Jiang Feng, still carrying Long Bad Dao, entered the guest room and tossed him onto the bed.

"Ow! He's still a brother; can you be gentler!"
