Chapter 275: Take My Palm!

Lan Jue Shitai's voice, laced with suppressed anger, hammered each word into Lin Qinghan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Lin Qinghan's whole body went rigid, his face flushed bright red in an instant, yet he could not utter a single word.

She truly hadn't expected that her master would, merely because he sensed her feelings for Jiang Feng, strike such a ruthless killing blow at Jiang Feng!

Using the Jue Yin Palm to ambush is nothing less than trying to put Jiang Feng to death!

She admitted that she indeed harbored affection for Jiang Feng.

But she never imagined that this pure affection would bring a lethal disaster upon Jiang Feng!

Seeing Lin Qinghan's silent demeanor, everyone understood that Lan Jue Shitai was telling the truth.

The Qingxiao Sect Saintess truly developed romantic feelings for Jiang Feng, and Lan Jue Shitai, to stop it, would not hesitate to ambush a junior!

The crowd's gazes toward Lan Jue Shitai were filled with contempt.

Even if Lin Qinghan is a saintess, one cannot casually kill just because a disciple has feelings for someone else!

"Hmph, since you remain silent, that counts as consent!"

Lan Jue Shitai, seeing Lin Qinghan offer no rebuttal, felt her anger swell and disdainfully pointed at Jiang Feng, saying,

"You, as my Qingxiao Sect Saintess, hold such a noble status! And him?"

"He is merely a lowly mortal! Your affection for him disgraces the Qingxiao Sect, that is his original sin! Killing him would be a favor to him!"

The words caused an immediate uproar throughout the hall.

Even if Jiang Feng had no background before, Lan Jue Shitai's words were still overly contemptuous!

Long Bad Dao was the first to lose his composure.

"Old nun, your words are too excessive! My brother Jiang Feng is now a Wu Zun Inheritor, far stronger than your Qingxiao Sect! Your disciple being able to favor my brother is her blessing!"

Jiang Feng's expression turned ice‑cold, the murderous intent in his eyes nearly spilling over.

At that moment, Ye Jinghong let out a cold snort.

"Lan Jue Daoist friend, your words are mistaken. Jiang Feng is not a mortal without any inheritance; on the contrary, his master is…"

He hadn't finished speaking when Jiang Feng cut him off.

"Uncle Ye, no need to say more."

Jiang Feng coldly stared at Lan Jue Shitai.

"Regardless of my lineage, Lan Jue, since you have already admitted to ambushing me, you should pay the price!"

His gaze was as sharp as a sword, fixedly staring at Lan Jue Shitai.

Lan Jue Shitai, upon hearing this, was first stunned, then as if she had heard a colossal joke.

"Oh? Pay the price? What, you still intend to kill me?"

She puffed out her chest, a faint Heavenly Human Realm aura emanating from her, a powerful pressure enveloping the area.

"I am the Master of the Qingxiao Sect, a Tianren Great Cultivator! Boy, do not think that having the inheritance of the Heavenly Eye Wu Zun makes you above all, lawless! To use me Lan Jue to assert your prestige, you are still unqualified!"

"I do not wish to kill you."

Jiang Feng, expression blank, shook his head, then said,

"You ambushed me with a palm strike; now you receive another palm from me—fair enough?"

"What?"

Long Bad Dao, upon hearing that, jumped in fright and hurriedly whispered into his ear,

"Old Jiang, are you mad? This Lan Jue Shitai is no ordinary person! Even if your palm doesn't wound her, you'll have completely offended her! Why not downplay the matter, settle it quietly, and let it go?"

The Qingxiao Sect is not a small family like the Mo Family; it is a top‑tier major sect in the jianghu.

So Long Bad Dao also does not want Jiang Feng and Lan Jue to become mortal enemies.

For a master like Lan Jue, this palm strike causes little damage but is highly insulting.

Lan Jue Shitai did not expect Jiang Feng to make such a request, and gave a cold, sinister smile.

"You're really bold to propose that! I, out of kindness, spared you, yet you still press further! Let me tell you, even if I stand here and let you strike a palm, would you truly dare to act?"

But at that moment, Ye Jinghong suddenly stepped forward, blocking Jiang Feng's side.

"Lan Jue, your ambush of a junior was already unjustified. Jiang Xiaoyou only let you receive his palm, which was already leniency. You truly should pay for your actions."

Lan Jue Shitai's complexion changed instantly, looking at Ye Jinghong in disbelief.

"Brother Ye Dao, you… you actually help a junior against me? Have you forgotten the years of friendship between our two sects?"

She truly could not understand why Ye Jinghong would protect Jiang Feng so fiercely.

Ye Jinghong, however, wore a strictly businesslike expression.

"This matter, from the start, was your fault. Jiang Xiaoyou's request is not excessive."

Lan Jue Shitai's face turned pale and then flushed.

Ye Jinghong's stance was clear: he would protect Jiang Feng.

With Ye Jinghong beside her, even if she wished to act against Jiang Feng, she would have to weigh it carefully.

Yet she could not swallow her resentment. Let a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse be struck by a palm from a Grandmaster junior, and have that spread—

"Fine! Very well!"

Lan Jue Shitai, enraged to the point of a bitter laugh, stared fixedly at Jiang Feng.

"Since Brother Ye Dao has spoken thus, I, His Seat, will give him a face! I want to see just how capable you, a Wu Zun Inheritor junior, truly are, daring to act against me!"

As she spoke, she truly suppressed her aura, straightening her chest.

"Come then! I, His Seat, will stand here, neither dodging nor evading, letting you strike a palm! I want to see whether you can wound me!"

Jiang Feng, watching Lan Jue Shitai's fearless demeanor, curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Lan Jue Shitai despised him, believing he could not hurt her.

"Since you wish to test, then I will grant you that!"

Jiang Feng's eyes hardened; the true Qi within him instantly surged, and the aura of the Reincarnation Dao silently gathered on his palm.

A massive aura burst forth from Jiang Feng.

Lan Jue Shitai's smile on her face stiffened slightly, and an inexplicable bad premonition rose in her heart.

She could feel that the power of Jiang Feng's palm seemed far stronger than she had imagined!

But the words had already been spoken, and she could not retract them; she could only steel herself, stare fixedly at Jiang Feng, and prepare for defense.

Lin Qinghan watched the scene, feeling immensely conflicted inside.

She truly did not want her master and Jiang Feng to come to this point.

Everyone present at this moment also held their breath, staring tightly at Jiang Feng, fearing they might miss something.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath; the Reincarnation Force within him had already condensed to its utmost.

On his palm, a faint layer of The Golden Light subtly shimmered, containing great power.

"Lan Jue Shitai, should I dare? Just try it and you'll know,"

Jiang Feng let out a loud shout, and his figure surged forward abruptly.

He swung his arm, bearing massive Reincarnation Force, and struck hard toward Lan Jue Shitai's chest!

The palm's speed was extremely fast, accompanied by a whistling wind, and it arrived at Lan Jue Shitai's front in an instant.
