Chapter 35: A Slap in the Face from Jiang Chen

Seeing this, Gao Jingshan—a mighty expert at the first level of the Innate Realm, and a man of considerable standing in Wudan City—how could he possibly allow a junior of the Jiang clan to slap his face in public?

If word of this got out, could he still get by in Wudan City?

Therefore, he did not choose to sit and wait for death, and immediately prepared to dodge.

The moment his toes moved, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.

From an angle unseen by the crowd, Jiang Daoxuan grabbed a sunflower seed from the fruit tray on the wooden table.

Pinching it between two fingers, he flicked it with a flick of his finger; the tremendous force was converted into kinetic energy, sending the seed hurtling through the crowd like a dart at extreme speed, instantly piercing through Gao Jingshan's right leg.

Squelch—

Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing his trouser leg red.

"Ah!!"

Gao Jingshan let out a bloodcurdling scream; the intense pain caused him to accidentally lose his body's balance, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Immediately after, he hurriedly stretched out both hands, clutching the wound on his right leg tightly; his face was deathly pale, his body trembling, and he curled up into a ball like a shrimp from the pain.

Staring at this scene, Jiang Chen suddenly froze, then subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

After witnessing the smile of his own clan leader, he instantly understood what was going on.

Thinking that the clan leader was backing him up, Jiang Chen felt power surging through every part of his body, then glared viciously at Gao Jingshan and slapped him across the face again. "Let's see you act arrogant! Let's see you dare to run your mouth in our Jiang clan! Let's see you try to teach our clan leader how to handle things!"

*Slap slap slap... *

The sound of slaps rang out one after another; Jiang Chen was truly enjoying it more and more with each hit.

Gao Jingshan, on the other hand, did not dare to make any extra moves, and could only choose to silently endure it alone.

Recalling that utterly horrifying scene just now.

Since the other party could instantly pierce through his right leg, wouldn't it be just as easy to pierce through any other part of his body?

Thinking of this, Gao Jingshan decisively gave in.

After all, if he really fought back, whether he could walk out of the Jiang clan alive would be a question.

Moreover, he had also seen the situation clearly.

The City Lord would not antagonize Jiang Daoxuan over a dispute between their two families.

Not long after.

The sound of slaps gradually stopped.

By now, Gao Jingshan's face was already swollen and red over a large area, no longer looking human.

Jiang Chen withdrew his hand with some lingering regret. "You Gao family people really do have thicker skin than ordinary people; my palm is starting to hurt from hitting you."

After learning about the matter of the Purple Spirit Pill, he held no goodwill toward the Gao family at all, which was why he could not help but mock them.

Hearing this, fury burned hotter within Gao Jingshan, but feeling the searing pain on his face, he could only silently lower his head, not daring to say another word, choosing to tuck his tail between his legs and behave.

Seeing his son's miserable state, Clan Leader Gao was badly frightened, and stole a glance at Jiang Daoxuan with the corner of his eye.

However, that very glance happened to collide with that utterly cold gaze.

As their eyes met, Clan Leader Gao felt his whole body go ice-cold, his heartbeat seeming to skip half a beat, and an overwhelming terror swept through his mind.

Afraid of dying here, he immediately began to force out an explanation: "It was the Tangs... the Tang family! They instructed us! We didn't want this, but the Tang family threatened us....."

Before he could finish explaining, he was stopped by Jiang Daoxuan. "Pushing everything onto the dead—well done cleaning yourself of it, but I have no interest in the things you're talking about....."

Clan Leader Gao's expression was panicked, and he was about to speak again.

But this time, he saw a streak of crimson-red light rushing straight toward him, so fast there was no avoiding it.

Clan Leader Gao's eyes widened, his pupils filled with unwillingness, yet he could only let that streak of Pure Yang Origin Power pierce through his forehead!

Boom!

With an explosion, blood sprayed across the hall; Clan Leader Gao's head had burst open like a watermelon, and that headless corpse, gushing blood like a spring, fell rigidly to the ground, quickly forming a small pool of blood.

The crimson blood stained Gao Jingshan's robe and face.

Watching his own father die a tragic death before his eyes, his pupils abruptly shrank to pinpoints.

At this moment, deep within his heart there was strangely no anger, only endless fear; he was terrified that he would be the next to die.

Staring at this horrifying scene before him, the Sun clan leader's reaction was no better—frightened out of his wits, his body actually began to tremble violently beyond his control.

He had never imagined that this Jiang Daoxuan would strike without the slightest warning, and right in front of the City Lord at that!

The surroundings fell utterly silent; everyone from the Sun and Gao clans was so terrified they did not dare to say another word.

Facing all of this, Jiang Daoxuan's expression remained calm, like a deep pool or hidden spring, without the slightest ripple.

He had no intention of explaining himself to anyone present—and none of them were worthy of hearing it anyway.

Then, he looked at the remaining members of the Sun and Gao clans: "Forty percent of your family assets? No, let's make it the full hundred percent."

Recalling the two great clans' countless evil deeds, which had caused no telling how many of the Jiang clan's young men to die in conflicts, and had nearly brought about the calamity of clan annihilation—

How could he possibly stand by and watch these people walk away?

The next moment, under the terrified gaze of everyone.

Jiang Daoxuan's figure flashed, and he struck out dozens of palms in succession, forming a dense flurry of illusory palm shadows that landed on every single person!

By the time he returned to his original position.

*Thud thud thud....... *

In an instant, the more than ten people from the Sun and Gao clans all had their skulls split open, lost their vitality, and collapsed onto the ground.

Watching this scene, Jiang Chen and the many Jiang clan disciples gathered at the door all turned to look at their clan leader in unison, expressions of fanaticism on their faces.

The clan leaders of the two great families—killed on a whim; the entire process was even as effortless as pinching a group of ants to death.

Is this the power that the clan leader now possesses? It is truly too strong!

Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Jiang Daoxuan remained unruffled, standing with his hands behind his back, every inch the grand master!

Just then, Ding Xuan's voice suddenly rang out: "Heh heh, Clan Leader Jiang certainly has fine methods....."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan dismissed the many clan members around him, then turned to Ding Xuan with calm deliberation: "I merely killed some lowly riffraff. What was it you mentioned just now, City Lord?"

Ding Xuan's expression turned serious; he rose from his high-backed chair: "I assume the cultivation technique your clan head practices is of high rank?"

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head and said casually: "Just an Xuan-grade technique left by my ancestors."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xuan was not surprised; instead, he wore an expression of "as I expected."
