Chapter 409: I can help you!

Jiang Feng heard the sound and abruptly raised his head, gazing upward at the firmament.

All he saw was within the black clouds, a massive golden finger slowly coalescing.

The finger was entirely golden, emanating boundless, awe-inspiring pressure as it slowly pressed downward.

"Releasing true qi from ten thousand li away, condensing an external incarnation to attack..."

"This is…… a Martial Ancestor Strongman?"

Jiang Feng's pupils contracted slightly as he muttered to himself.

Merely a finger condensed from an external incarnation wields such terrifying power!

If this Martial Ancestor Strongman were to descend in person, how dreadful would that be?

Jun Wuji, mid-air, heard this voice, his eyes snapping open, his pupils instantly filling with ecstasy.

He hurriedly shouted upward at the firmament.

"Uncle! It's me! I'm Wuji! Save me quickly!"

He instantly recognized that golden finger—it was the famed signature technique of the Jun family's Martial Ancestor Strongman, Jun Tianjian.

Jun Tianjian is one of the Jun family's top Martial Ancestor Strongmen.

It must be that my recent use of Boundary Force alerted him; I never expected he would not hesitate to employ an external incarnation to save me.

Jun Wuji trembled with excitement, a hint of color returning to his formerly pallid face as he looked at Jiang Feng with eyes full of smug satisfaction.

"Jiang Feng, no matter how formidable you are, today you still can't kill me!"

"Once I return to the Jun family, I will surely tear you limb from limb to avenge today's severed arm!"

Jiang Feng remained unperturbed, drawing a deep breath.

At this moment, his inner true qi surged wildly, and a dragon's chant softly rang out.

A faint dragon's might emanated from his body, barely resisting a portion of the pressure from the Celestial Void Finger.

"If you want to save him, you must first get past me!"

Jiang Feng's gaze hardened as his inner true qi and the spatial power he had previously comprehended erupted fully.

Simultaneously, the dragon's chant coiled around his arm, instantly covering it with a thin layer of golden scales!

He abruptly raised his right hand and slammed a fierce punch toward the slowly descending golden finger!

"Boom!"

His fist, carrying the dragon's chant and wielding the power to rend space, collided violently with the golden finger!

In an instant, the winds and clouds shifted, the black sky seeming to be torn apart.

A blinding flash erupted, stinging eyes so they could not open.

The terrifying energy shockwave spread like a tsunami, instantly flattening vast swaths of the Jiangnan Wangfu's buildings.

"Crack!"

With a crisp crack, the point where Jiang Feng's launched fist met the golden finger actually showed a fine fissure.

Even the original brilliant golden light grew considerably dimmer.

Jiang Feng felt a terrifying force travel up his arm, like myriad steel needles pricking, leaving his arm numb.

His inner true qi nearly scattered, he involuntarily retreated three steps, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

And that golden finger, under this punch, paused momentarily, its downward momentum forcibly halted.

From the firmament above came a voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.

"Oh? Though you have not entered the Realm of Martial Ancestor, you can actually resist my Celestial Void Finger—rather interesting!"

Jun Wuji's smile froze instantly, and he shouted uncontrollably.

"How is that possible? Uncle's Celestial Void Finger could instantly kill even a late-stage Heavenly Person expert; Jiang Feng is merely mid-stage Heavenly Person—how could he possibly block it?"

He simply could not comprehend how Jiang Feng's strength could have reached such a level, able to withstand even a Martial Ancestor Strongman's external incarnation attack!

Jiang Feng wiped the blood from his mouth corner, fixing his gaze firmly on the golden finger in the sky.

At this moment, his inner true qi continued to circulate, repairing his damaged meridians.

That punch just now, he had already exerted all his strength.

Had it not been for the aid of Kun Long's power, he would likely have been gravely injured by the Celestial Void Finger.

The strength of a Martial Ancestor Strongman truly lives up to its reputation!

"Very well, today I, His Seat, have descended only as an external incarnation; unable to appear in person, my power is limited, so I shall first take Wuji away."

The voice from the firmament sounded again, seemingly tinged with a hint of regret.

As the voice faded, the considerably dimmed golden finger suddenly stirred, sweeping past Jiang Feng and instantly lunging to seize Jun Wuji in mid-air.

Jun Wuji's face lit up with joy, and he hastily gritted his teeth to meet the golden finger.

Jiang Feng's eyes, however, turned cold.

"If you want to take away the Jun Holy Son, you'll have to leave something behind, won't you?"

As he spoke, Jiang Feng once again circulated his inner true qi, abruptly raising his palm and slamming a fierce strike toward the golden finger reaching for Jun Wuji!

Silver sword qi instantly condensed, bearing the power to rend all things, slashing toward the golden finger!

"Pfft!"

The sword qi precisely struck the golden finger, and the crack on it instantly expanded.

The golden light utterly faded, turning into specks of energy that dissipated into the air.

But at the very moment the golden finger disintegrated, an invisible force had already ensnared Jun Wuji's body, pulling him toward the clouds above the firmament.

"Jiang Feng! You wait for His Seat!"

Jun Wuji was being tugged by the invisible force.

He turned his head, his eyes brimming with utter hatred.

Next time we meet, His Seat will surely kill you!

His voice grew fainter and fainter, finally disappearing into the thick clouds.

Jiang Feng stood in place, watching Jun Wuji's figure completely vanish, his eyes icy, without saying a word.

He knew very well that, with his current strength, trying to forcibly keep Jun Wuji was absolutely impossible.

The methods of a Martial Ancestor Strongman far exceeded his imagination.

That golden finger just now was merely an external incarnation, yet it possessed such terrifying power.

If the opponent himself descended, he would have absolutely no power to retaliate.

The Jun Family truly lives up to being the top clan in the Yunding Secret Realm; even a casual strike from a Martial Ancestor Strongman shows such terrifying strength...

Jiang Feng silently pondered to himself.

The Xie Family, which is even stronger than the Jun Family by a third, would surely be even harder to deal with, right?

Now it seems that the forces of the Yunding Secret Realm are far stronger than he imagined.

To contend with the Xie Family, his current strength is still far insufficient!

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, turned his head, and his gaze fell upon Jiangnan Wang and the others not far away.

At this moment, Jiangnan Wang had already been utterly frightened out of his wits.

Looking at Jiang Feng's eyes, it was as if they were looking at a devil.

Even the Sacred Son of the Jun Family almost died at Jiang Feng's hands, and he could withstand the attack of a Martial Ancestor Strongman's external incarnation.

Jiang Feng now is just too terrifying, isn't he?

Jiang Feng's figure flashed, as if teleporting, instantly appearing before Jiangnan Wang, looking down at him from above.

Jiangnan Wang...

Are you prepared to die?

Jiangnan Wang was so scared his soul left his body; he hurriedly flung himself to the ground and kept kowtowing to Jiang Feng.

Ji... Mr. Jiang! Spare my life! I was wrong! I really was wrong!

He kowtowed until his head was bloody, losing all dignity of the Imperial Clan, left only with an endless will to survive.

Please, Mr. Jiang, spare me this once! I'll never dare again! I'm willing to compensate the Su Family for all its losses. Please, spare me! Jiangnan Wang's voice trembled with sobs, utterly miserable.

But Jiang Feng showed no reaction at all, merely slowly raising his right hand.

Jiangnan Wang saw Jiang Feng raising his hand, and the color drained from his face in terror.

No! Don't kill me!

Just as Jiang Feng's palm was about to fall, golden true qi was about to blast onto Jiangnan Wang's body.

Jiangnan Wang, as if suddenly thinking of something, flung his eyes open and shouted with all his strength.

Jiang Feng! Wait! Aren't you going to see the Xie Family Head of the Yunding Xie Family? I can take you to the Yunding Secret Realm! I can help you!
