Chapter 276: Has Mo Tianheng Died?
Lan Jue Shitai's pupils suddenly contracted, and the bad premonition in her heart instantly amplified to the extreme.
Lan Jue Shitai originally thought that even if Jiang Feng's palm strike were even stronger, at most it would only cause her a slight shock and would never injure her.
But now, she knows she was wrong, wrong beyond reason!
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the violent qi wave burst instantly, sweeping outward in all directions.
Lan Jue Shitai only felt an incomprehensibly massive force, like a tsunami, flowing from her chest into her body.
That power carried the endless intent of Reincarnation, with a strange penetrating force that directly ignored part of her Golden Body's defense.
"Crack!"
A faint crisp sound, and the golden aura around Lan Jue Shitai instantly dimmed.
She let out a muffled hum, her body uncontrollably retreating backward step after step, retreating seven or eight steps before barely stabilizing.
Before she could recover, a sweet, fishy taste rose in her throat, and a huge mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.
Her complexion instantly turned pale as paper, her face filled with extreme terror.
How could this be possible?
Lan Jue Shitai stared fixedly at Jiang Feng, her eyes full of shock.
Although she outwardly seemed indifferent, when Jiang Feng moved his palm, she had already activated Golden Body protection.
But Jiang Feng's palm nearly shattered her Golden Body!
If she had truly been defenseless just now, she might have been killed by Jiang Feng's single palm!
A youngster who hasn't yet entered the Heavenly Human Realm, yet possesses the power to slay a Heavenly Person!
What kind of Demon Rogue is this!
The Heavenly Eye Martial Patriarch's Heritage is so terrifying?
Or perhaps this kid's innate talent is already at the extreme?
Lan Jue Shitai's heart was roiled with turbulent waves; the disdain she once held for Jiang Feng now left only deep apprehension.
She finally understood why Ye Jinghong, the present world's openly recognized First Heavenly Person, would take such care of Jiang Feng.
With such talent and strength, given time to grow, he will inevitably become a top figure traversing the martial world in the future!
Yet Lan Jue Shitai, having realized all this, not only felt no remorse, but deep within her a strong murderous intent toward Jiang Feng ignited!
She knows clearly that with Jiang Feng's talent, in another ten or twenty years, once he fully matures, he will likely become another force that overshadows an entire era.
And between her and Jiang Feng, a mortal enmity has already been forged.
Once Jiang Feng truly rises, he will undoubtedly become the fuse that brings about Qingxiao Sect's destruction!
She cannot stand by and watch Jiang Feng continue to grow!
No matter the cost, she must find a chance to kill this child, to eliminate future trouble!
Lan Jue Shitai clenched her teeth, forcibly suppressing the surging qi and blood within, her gaze darkly fierce on Jiang Feng, the murderous intent nearly spilling over.
After Jiang Feng's palm strike, his face showed no ripple at all; he simply smiled lightly and calmly.
"Truly worthy of Lan Jue Daozhang, indeed hard to kill! Since that's the case, the feud between us ends here."
Having said that, Jiang Feng no longer gave Lan Jue Shitai a glance, turning and striding swiftly toward the Qin Family Manor.
Lan Jue Shitai watched Jiang Feng's departing back, her nails nearly embedding into her palm, forcefully restraining the urge to rush forward and strike.
Ye Jinghong, seeing this, slowly walked to Lan Jue Shitai's side, his tone flat as he warned.
"Lan Jue Daoist friend, considering our many years of friendship, I advise you: do not harbor murderous intent toward Jiang Feng."
He paused, his sharp gaze fixed on Lan Jue Shitai, speaking word by word.
"If he dies, the entire Qingxiao Sect would be buried with him. This is not a threat."
Lan Jue Shitai, hearing this, stiffened, her complexion turning even worse.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the murderous intent in her heart.
She said nothing, merely staring fixedly at the direction Jiang Feng had gone.
Ye Jinghong, seeing this, also said no more, waving his hand to Liu Tianzhou and the others behind him.
"We shall go as well."
Having said that, he led the people of the Lingnan Sword Sect toward the Qin Family Manor.
The others also hurriedly followed, and soon, on the sheer cliff, only Lan Jue Shitai and the master‑disciple pair Lin Qinghan remained.
Until everyone had left, Lan Jue Shitai's suppressed anger and murderous intent finally erupted completely.
She suddenly turned, slamming a palm at a nearby massive stone!
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound, and the stone several zhang tall was instantly shattered by the strike.
Lin Qinghan, frightened by the scene, stood rooted in place, at a loss.
"Master, could you... not make things difficult for Jiang Feng?"
Lan Jue Shitai slowly withdrew her palm, giving her disciple a cold glance.
"Follow your master."
Lin Qinghan bit his lip, wanting to speak, but seeing Master's gloomy expression, he finally nodded and followed behind Lan Jue Shitai.
Lan Jue Shitai took two steps, then suddenly halted.
She slightly furrowed her brows.
"Zi Xuan? Where did she go?"
Lin Qinghan shook his head.
"I didn't notice where Uncle Zi Xuan went."
"Fine, never mind her."
Lan Jue Shitai said coldly.
After all, with Zi Xuan's status, nothing could possibly happen.
Having said that, she no longer hesitated, grabbed Lin Qinghan's wrist, rose into the air, and soon vanished into the sky.
On the other side, Jiang Feng, Ye Jinghong and others quickly returned to the Qin Family Manor.
The Qin Family had long prepared a grand banquet.
"Mr. Jiang, Ye Tianren, honored guests, please come inside!"
Qin Kuo Hai personally stepped forward to greet them, his face full of enthusiastic smiles.
"A small token, not a sign of respect; please do not disdain it."
Jiang Feng smiled at Qin Kuo Hai and said, "The Qin Family Head need not be so courteous."
Everyone chatted and laughed, and together walked into the manor's Banquet Hall.
The Banquet Hall was already filled with people.
Jiang Feng found a seat and sat down; Long Bad Dao immediately came over, his face full of admiration.
"Old Jiang, you were awesome just now! With a single palm you made Lan Jue that old nun spit blood; it was downright spectacular!"
Recalling the sight of Lan Jue Shitai spitting blood just now, Long Bad Dao felt vindicated.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Just luck. Lan Jue Shitai was unguarded and was also restrained by Uncle Ye; otherwise she wouldn't have been injured so easily."
Liu Tianzhou also walked over.
"Junior Brother, stop being modest. To injure Lan Jue Shitai, who is at the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, with Grandmaster‑level cultivation—perhaps only you could achieve that in the entire jianghu."
Qin Kuo Hai had the dishes and wine brought out, and the banquet officially began. Everyone raised their cups, chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very lively.
But when the banquet was halfway through, the Banquet Hall's main doors were suddenly thrust open forcefully.
A Qin Family guard hurriedly ran in and knelt on the ground.
"No… this is bad, Family Head! Something terrible has happened!"
"Why the panic? Speak slowly! What happened?"
The guard swallowed, then trembled as he spoke.
"Family Head, Mo… the Mo Family's Grandmaster, Mo Tianheng… was killed in a forest ten kilometers away!"
"What!"
The words caused an instant uproar throughout the hall!
Everyone's gaze instinctively swept toward Jiang Feng.
