Chapter 345: The Jiangnan King's Threat

"Grab! Bring all the people in Jishi Hall here! Especially that old man surnamed Hua and his granddaughter!"

Jiangnan Wang hung up Jiang Feng's phone, his face iron‑blue, and sternly ordered his personal soldiers.

"Yes! Prince!"

Hundreds of Prince's Residence soldiers, upon hearing the order, surged into Jishi Hall like wolves and tigers.

They disregarded Hua Lao's resistance and seized both Hua Yingying and Hua Lao.

Hua Lao, both frantic and angry, roared toward Jiangnan Wang.

"Jiangnan Wang! You arrest people without cause—are you not afraid of the law?"

Jiangnan Wang looked down from his height at the dragged‑out Hua Lao and his descendant, a grim smile curling his lips.

"Law? In Jiangnan Territory, I am the law! Jiang Feng kidnapped my princess; offending me, his people naturally must pay the price!"

Having finished, he again took out his phone and dialed Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng! I give you one final chance! Right now, immediately bring my princess and come to Jishi Hall!"

"Otherwise…"

"I will slice that old man with a single stroke! And his granddaughter—don't even think of surviving!"

On the other end, Jiang Feng heard Jiangnan Wang's words, his face instantly turning ice‑cold.

"If you dare lay a finger on them, I guarantee you'll die a gruesome death!"

Jiangnan Wang let out a cold laugh and slapped Hua Lao's cheek hard.

"You have ten minutes! If you don't within ten minutes, be ready to collect the bodies of this grandfather and granddaughter!"

Tang Zhen stood silently beside them, his face ice‑cold, his sharp gaze fixed on the direction of Jishi Hall Gate. He now only wanted to see Jiang Feng as soon as possible, kill him, and rescue his granddaughter.

As for the lives of Hua Lao and his descendant, he didn't care at all.

Time ticked by second by second, and Jiangnan Wang glanced at his watch now and then, his impatience growing ever more evident.

"Three minutes left! That coward Jiang Feng—could it be he dares not come?"

At that moment, a figure in the distance sprinted toward Jishi Hall like an arrow released from a bow, astonishingly fast.

"He's coming!"

Jiangnan Wang's eyes lit up, a ferocious grin spreading across his face.

Tang Zhen and Tang Zongjie instantly looked up, seeing Jiang Feng's ice‑cold face, his eyes filled with murderous intent, briskly walking toward them.

Soon, Jiang Feng arrived outside Jishi Hall, saw the soldiers dragging Hua Lao and Hua Yingying, and his gaze instantly grew even colder.

"Jiangnan Wang, I'm here—let go of them!"

Jiang Feng's voice carried a powerful pressure, making the present soldiers shiver involuntarily.

Jiangnan Wang clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Jiang Feng, you truly came! Still have a bit of loyalty—you haven't disappointed me."

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Release them, and I can make your death a bit more enjoyable."

"How dare you!"

Tang Zhen stepped forward, and the Heavenly Human Realm pressure around him erupted instantly.

"You brat, daring to speak wildly before Old brother! Hand over my granddaughter first, or these two will surely die today!"

Jiang Feng faced Tang Zhen's pressure, his figure not moving a hair.

He looked at Tang Zhen, his tone flat.

"Tang Ruoxi is safe. If you want to rescue her, have Xie Zhennan come see me personally."

"Hmph! The Xie Family Patriarch is someone you can just meet whenever you want?"

Tang Zhen sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"You, a brat who just broke through the Heavenly Human Realm, are even worthy of seeing the Xie Family Patriarch?"

"Be sensible, hand over Ruoxi immediately, Old brother can spare your life; otherwise, at most it's a life for a life!"

Jiangnan Wang was equally arrogant at this moment.

"Jiang Feng, you haven't even taken a look at what you are! Old Master Tang is a veteran of the Heavenly Human Realm, and you, a freshly entered youngster, dare to confront him? I think you're just rotten!"

"Be sensible, hand over Ruoxi quickly, submit yourself obediently, and perhaps I might, seeing a hint of talent, spare you a dog's life!"

Jiang Feng's gaze grew colder, he was too lazy to waste words.

Since we can't reach an agreement, we'll have to speak with fists.

Buzz!

A massive Heavenly Human Realm aura burst from Jiang Feng's body, spreading outward like a tsunami.

Tang Zhen felt the aura, his complexion slightly changed, a hint of surprise in his heart.

He hadn't expected that Jiang Feng, just entering the Heavenly Human Realm, would have such a stable aura; it seemed this kid's talent was even more of a Demon Rogue than he imagined?

"Interesting, but this level of strength alone is not enough to be worth watching!"

Tang Zhen let out a cold snort, ceased the chatter, kicked the ground hard, and his body surged toward Jiang Feng like a cannonball.

His speed was lightning‑fast, and he instantly reached Jiang Feng.

His fist carried a world‑shattering force, smashing toward Jiang Feng's chest.

The ground was split by fine cracks from the powerful fist wind.

Facing this massive, heavy punch, Jiang Feng neither dodged nor evaded; his gaze narrowed, he clenched his fist and struck back at Tang Zhen's fist.

His fist appeared plain, without any fancy technique, yet bore an unstoppable momentum.

Bang!

A earth‑shaking roar erupted as the two fists collided.

A powerful shockwave spread outward in all directions.

Jiang Feng and Tang Zhen each stepped back three paces, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

Tang Zhen steadied his stance, his face full of both shock and anger.

He hadn't expected that his full‑force strike would be taken head‑on by Jiang Feng, and that the fight would be evenly matched—far beyond his anticipation.

"You kid, you've got some skill!"

Tang Zhen's gaze grew solemn, daring no hint of contempt.

Jiang Feng also steadied his body, a contemptuous smile curling his lips.

"No wonder the veteran Heavenly Human Realm truly has some strength."

"Again!"

Tang Zhen let out a roar, charging at Jiang Feng once more.

This time, he held nothing back.

His palm technique was fierce, each strike deadly, each move carrying tremendous force, targeting Jiang Feng's vital points.

The palm wind whistled, enveloping Jiang Feng like a raging storm, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Bang bang bang!

The two clashed on the open ground, the sound of fists and palms colliding never ceasing.

Qi bursts sprayed in all directions, the ground pocked and hollowed, the scene was extremely shocking.

Tang Zhen grew increasingly alarmed as he fought, realizing he had completely underestimated Jiang Feng's strength.

Jiang Feng's moves seemed simple, yet contained endless variations, and his reaction speed was extremely fast; no matter how swift Tang Zhen's palm technique, Jiang Feng could block it precisely.

What amazed him even more was that Jiang Feng's strength was not at all weaker than his, and his endurance was tremendous; after fighting this long, his breath showed no sign of disorder.

At his age, it was still his first time encountering such a Demon Rogue youngster.

A newly breakthrough Heavenly Human Realm expert could match this veteran Heavenly Human Realm master, even showing a faint tendency to suppress him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Tang Zhen let out a roar in his heart, increasing his attack power, his palm technique becoming even more fierce.

Yet even so, he still felt somewhat powerless against Jiang Feng.

The onlookers were all stunned; they never expected Jiang Feng to be so formidable, even Old Master Tang couldn't do anything about him.

Tang Zongjie stood aside, his complexion growing increasingly grim.

He originally thought that with his father stepping in, capturing Jiang Feng would be a piece of cake.

But now it seemed the situation was far from what he imagined.

If his father truly lost, what would Ruoxi do? Where would the Tang family's reputation stand?

Jiangnan King grew even more anxious, sweat beading across his forehead. The reason he dared to be so arrogant was that he had veteran Heavenly Human Realm master Tang Zhen backing him.

But now, Tang Zhen couldn't suppress Jiang Feng, and seeing defeat imminent, could he not be anxious?

"No! This can't continue!"

Jiangnan King narrowed his eyes, rushed to Hua Yingying's side, snatched a guard's sword, and pressed it against Hua Yingying's throat.

"Jiang Feng! If you don't release my princess, I guarantee I'll kill you and your grandson immediately! I say it, I will do it, don't force me!"
