Chapter 987: This Fist of Mine, Like the Sun at Its Zenith!

As Jiang Xuanji spoke, many around him suddenly recalled something.

"Jiang Xuanji? That name sounds so familiar."

"Of course it's familiar! This man is the Grand Commandant of the Cangling Dynasty, ranked among the Three Excellencies; his power is so great that saying he stands only below one person and above ten thousand others would not be an exaggeration!"

"Hiss~ Looking at it this way, the Jade Pure Sect has truly kicked an iron plate."

"Indeed, it is said that this Jiang Xuanji is not only a master of military strategy but also the supreme commander of the armies that conquered seven states, responsible for coordinating all warfare, which shows the Cang King's high regard and trust in him; besides that, his own martial arts talent is extraordinary, making him a famous genius of the Cangwu Jiang family!"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Yan Po was instantly frightened until cold sweat streamed down his face!

"Jiang Xuanji, it's actually him....."

His face filled with horror, he felt only that he had truly committed a grave disaster this time!

If the sect were to learn that he had clashed with a genius of the Cangwu Jiang family,

wouldn't they likely have the heart to flay him alive?

At the same time, the faces of the two Primordial Spirit cultivators beside him also became extremely ugly.

They understood that today's matter could likely not be resolved peacefully.

To avoid drawing disaster upon themselves, they hurriedly looked at Jiang Xuanji, then glanced at Bai Bingyun, before cupping their fists and saying:

"We were originally wondering whom Bingyun had found as a husband, never expecting it to be a hero of the Cangwu Jiang family; this child Bingyun is truly something, not even bringing him over for us to see."

"Exactly, back when she was still in the womb, I used divination to know that the child in her belly had an extraordinary fate and limitless future achievements; now seeing this, it turns out she carries the bloodline of the Jiang family, which is hardly surprising."

"Grand Commandant Jiang, all past events were solely the unauthorized actions of that father and son; they have nothing to do with our Jade Pure Sect!"

"Correct, when Yan Po initially proposed crippling Bingyun, we also considered intervening, but Yan Po holds an extremely high status within the sect, with power far surpassing ours, leaving us unable to interfere!"

"We beg Grand Commandant Jiang and His Majesty the Cang King to judge clearly!"

The two spoke faster and faster, showing not even a shred of the demeanor expected of Primordial Spirit realm cultivators.

This is hardly surprising, after all, the tragic scene of the Medicine King Valley's destruction is still vivid in their minds.

In order not to bring calamity upon their own sect, they naturally had to distance themselves from that old villain Yan Po!

Seeing this situation, the despair on Yan Po's face grew even thicker.

The raging fire burning in his heart felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over it, turning ice-cold!

As for Jiang Xuanji, although filled with anger, he was still able to retain his rationality.

He silently turned his head to look at Bai Bingyun beside him, wanting to see her reaction.

Seeing that although hatred flowed in his wife's eyes, it was mixed with a hint of reluctance,

Jiang Xuanji's face showed sudden understanding.

Clearly, despite suffering many injustices, she still harbored feelings for the Jade Pure Sect where she had grown up since childhood and did not wish to see it destroyed.

A flash of light passed through Jiang Xuanji's eyes, and he instantly understood how to handle this matter.

Afterwards, he first used his spiritual sense to transmit a voice and communicate with Jiang Shan.

Only after receiving permission did he look back at Yan Po.

"Bingyun is my wife; I absolutely cannot allow her to endure such grievances for no reason!"

Jiang Xuanji shifted his gaze, sweeping past Yan Po to look at Yan Junming behind him.

Under the other's gaze, he suddenly extended his right hand, drew the precious sword at his waist, and pulled it out.

Under the other's gaze, he suddenly extended his right hand and drew the treasured sword at his waist.

A clear sound of sword ringing spread throughout the surroundings, making the atmosphere of the entire venue extremely tense!

But next, something happened that exceeded their expectations.

They saw Jiang Xuanji casually wave his hand, throwing the precious sword in front of Yan Junming, where it stabbed into the ground upside down, humming and vibrating!

Just as Yan Junming's face showed astonishment and he felt confused,

Jiang Xuanji's voice slowly rang out: "The suffering Bingyun endured within the sect is all due to you!"

"I, Jiang Xuanji, always act on the principle that grievances have a head and debts have a master; I will never implicate the innocent!"

"Today, you and I shall fight, regardless of life or death!"

"If you win, I will let you leave freely; if you lose, then leave your life behind!"

"In the past, you possessed the courage to pursue Bingyun; surely now you wouldn't lack even the courage to fight me?!"

As soon as the words fell, a momentum swept out, revealing a cultivation base of the sixth level of the Moon Wheel realm!

Noticing this, Yan Junming's expression relaxed, and an expression of assured victory inevitably appeared on his face!

He had originally thought that all geniuses of the Jiang family were freaks like Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhiwei, which was why he was so nervous.

He never expected the other party to have only a cultivation base of the sixth level of the Moon Wheel realm!

One must know that he himself possesses a cultivation base of the ninth level of the Moon Wheel realm!

With such an overwhelming advantage in cultivation base, what is there to fear?!

Thinking of this, the smile on Yan Junming's face grew even brighter.

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he picked up the precious sword thrown by the other party.

Holding the sharp sword and aiming it at Jiang Xuanji, he said coldly: "I accept this battle."

Gripping his sharp sword, he leveled it at Jiang Xuanji and said coldly, "This fight — I'll take it."

Jiang Xuanji's expression was cold; he shook his head: "To deal with you, fists are sufficient."

"Using a sword? You are not yet qualified!"

Having spoken, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Having spoken, his figure abruptly vanished from where he stood.

Jiang Xuanji instantly appeared behind Yan Junming, punching out with one fist, radiating a sky-high might!

Jiang Xuanji instantly appeared behind Yan Junming and threw a punch, radiating an overwhelming, heaven-shaking might!

Yan Junming's heart jolted in shock, and he hastily urged his elemental force, swinging his long sword to block.

However, with a muffled "bang," he was blasted away—sword and all—several dozen meters in an instant!

Before he could even land, while still midair, Jiang Xuanji had already caught up.

A whipping kick lashed out, trailing afterimages, and struck Yan Junming squarely in the abdomen!

Ugh—

Yan Junming's face went deathly pale; he suddenly felt his qi and blood surging. His lips parted slightly, and he spat out a great mouthful of fresh blood!

"You bastard...."

Gale-force winds burst out around him, whipping Yan Junming's hair into wild disarray and making his robes snap and flutter loudly!

He forced open his right eye. Through blurred vision, he saw a fist the size of a sandbag hurtling straight at his face!

It was far too fast—there was no dodging it!

Bang!!

Under that single punch, Yan Junming was like a cannonball, plummeting at tremendous speed to the ground and smashing out a deep crater, sending rubble flying and dust billowing sky-high!

His clothes were tattered, and he lay sprawled in the pit in utter disarray.

His whole body was covered in bloody, gory wounds; his breathing was faint and unsteady—clearly his injuries were far from light.

Suddenly, Jiang Xuanji's voice drifted over lazily: "Plenty of cultivation base, but the foundation is unstable. Must be from regularly taking elixirs—qi and blood are adrift, your moves aren't practiced enough, your combat power is flimsy. Looks like you spent all the time you should've used honing your martial techniques on a woman's belly."

"A weakling like you can't even take three of my moves, and you dare to pursue Bingyun?!"

Hearing Jiang Xuanji's mocking words, Yan Junming flared up in rage!

He hurriedly pulled an elixir from his spatial ring and swallowed it; his deathly pale complexion instantly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Xuanji did not stop him.

Gao Ang held his head high, an arrogant look on his face.

His right hand clasped behind his back, his left hand raised alone before his chest, aimed at Yan Junming—signaling the other to attack quickly.

Seeing himself so thoroughly looked down upon, Yan Junming grew even more furious!

Once he felt his internal injuries had mostly healed, he hurriedly activated the inherited secret art of the Jade Purity Sect and charged at Jiang Xuanji to kill him!

Yan Junming's face twisted viciously; divine light surged around him, flickering and interweaving, coalescing into a strange phenomenon that radiated an incomparably terrifying pressure!
