Chapter 64
Tang Tao believed that Jiang Xiu would obey the orders of the Tang family because they had spent a few 100 million to buy a street for him. Jiang Xiu used his actions to tell him that he was gravely mistaken if he thought he could order Jiang Xiu around.
"Boom!"
Thunder rumbled in the sky and faint smoke scattered from his hand. In the blink of an eye, a gale swept forwards.
Tang Wenchong and Big Lei who stood in front of Jiang Xiu, were pushed back a few steps due to the force. They couldn't stand anymore and landed on the ground with their butts, even sliding back two to three meters from the wind.
Those who were farther couldn't even open their eyes due to the gale. The wind caused the windows to make a sharp, clattering noise which hurt the eardrums.
In this split second, everyone felt as if time slowed down, even seeming as if it had stopped.
And the only thing happening during this time-stop was Jiang Xiu slapping Tang Tao, causing him to fly back like a kite which had its string cut off. He soared a few meters far, collided with the entrance door, broke through it then finally tumbled down the stairs.
At this moment, it was if a heat wave put on pause had resumed. Just like an artillery shell landing on the ground, it proceeded with strong momentum, causing the paper bits on the ground to fly around due to the chaotic wind and the houses to tremble.
Shock. Stupefaction. Such were the expressions everyone wore.
The entire place went deathly silent.
This was no matter to kid about. Jiang Xiu had merely swung his arm, that's all.
Tang Wenchong was left dumbstruck. He had merely heard Tang Zhenshan say that Jiang Xiu was quite strong. On that day in Belden, he learned that Jiang Xiu could use spells from the fact that he could control lightning with his palm, but he hadn't expected that Jiang Xiu was so valiant.
As for those top experts like Old Lin and Uncle Fu, they were utterly shocked, both of them trying to figure out the level of martial arts Jiang Xiu had cultivated to. Inner Strength Stage? Supreme Stage? Or was it the Demigod stage?
They didn't dare imagine it, nor could they envision it.
Lin Mi's eyes turned round. She was too shocked. It was out of her expectations. He's actually this powerful.
As for Boss Zhong, Wen Zuolin, as well as Jiang Xiu's childhood acquaintances, they were stupefied the most, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
Chu Qiancheng, Da Nian, Little Min and Chen Xue couldn't believe their eyes, that their friend Jiang Xiu, with whom they had grown up together with, was actually so mighty.
I-Is this the Jiang Xiu we know?
"You dare to speak rudely to this Deity?"
Only now did people realize that the target of Jiang Xiu's attack was none other than Tang family's Tang Tao and that he was the person the Tang family had invited. They understood that he didn't have a reliant relationship with the Tang family and there was even a huge possibility that they were the ones who had asked for his help, inviting him to appear as the Tang family's representative.
Tang Wenchong's face went pale as cold sweat formed on his back, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for teaching him a lesson."
He felt endless rage in his heart as he had repeatedly warned Tang Tao that he must act with respect towards Jiang Xiu and must not offend him. But, the result was that he didn't listen to his words, tried to blame Jiang Xiu for the Tang family's defeat and even spoke rudely to him. Tell me, isn't this you courting death?
"The Tang family shall definitely give Mr. Jiang a proper response regarding this, but he is after all my elder. This Tang Wenchong doesn't have the right to punish him. Please wait for my Grandfather to personally give the judgment."
Jiang Xiu grunted. The reason he had allowed Tang Tao to live was so that the Tang family could give a proper response to him.
His gaze fell on Bao Lingyun and Pei Shuai.
Their faces were already pale. Just now, when Jiang Xiu had stepped on the arena, they had vilified Jiang Xiu in front of Boss Zhong. They were saying that he was just a country bumpkin, how they had even bullied him during his childhood, and how they made him kneel and beg.
"This Deity challenges you!"
He pointed towards Boss Zhong. As for a reason, there was no need to say it.
"Grandmaster Zhang?!"
Boss Zhong hinted him to go fight. It was the man who used the Eagle Claw Arts.
Grandmaster Zhang's brave face was somewhat pale. The power Jiang Xiu had revealed just now wasn't something he could resist. However, it wasn't allowed to deny a challenge during the Dao Soldier Meet, so he had to go to the arena.
If a person was skilled, they might come out alive. But most of the time, it concluded with one of the people dying.
"What are you afraid of?"
He used his light movement art and soared like an eagle towards the arena, his eagle claw slashing towards Jiang Xiu decisively.
"Hah!"
Actually, Jiang Xiu didn't know martial arts. People practiced Martial Arts here, while Immortal Martial Arts practice in the Immortal Martial Continent. Martial Arts were simpler because they were lower grade skills. The reason they were a lower grade was that, even if someone cultivates martial arts to a high stage in some low-level places like Earth and then later became a Grandmaster or even a Demigod, they'd get insta-killed if they encountered a million-year-old demoness or a young cultivator from a sect possessing talismans.
Therefore, Jiang Xiu had learned Immortal Martial Skills which were executed using the energy in the body and right now, he was using the divine force to execute them.
That wave of his hand from before was this way.
BOOM!
The sounds of thunder rumbling resounded in the area again. An ice-cold glint flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes as he casually sent his palm forward. Under everyone's shocked gaze, white smoke bubbled out and collided with Grandmaster Zhang's body, who was 2-3 meters away. His body flew back as if hit by a truck weighing several tonnes.
He kept flying past the arena and flew outside, embracing death amidst his flight, and by the time he fell to the ground, he couldn't be any more dead.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath as they looked at Jiang Xiu as if they were looking at a demon. They felt a chill in their backbones W-What kind of power is this?
At this very moment, Tang Wenchong finally noticed the most frightening thing about Jiang Xiu.
He was strong. Too strong.
Boss Zhong's face went ashen. Bao Lingyun and Pei Shuai's legs went weak from the fear, trembling so much that they couldn't even stand properly. At a distance, Jiang Xiu's childhood friends looked at him with their eyes open wide. Emotions welled up in their hearts. Young Master Xiu, you're too awesome!
They felt so emotional that tears welled up in their eyes, wishing they could cry. They finally understood the reason why Jiang Xiu had said that those two bastards would revere him as a Deity.
Jiang Xiu was akin to a God right now, a Deathgod who held their lives in his clutches.
After achieving a perfect kill, Jiang Xiu turned towards Ye Yiliang.
Ye Yiliang raised his brows. He was on full alert as he looked back at him with an intimidating gaze. He sneered in his mind. Brat, are you thinking of challenging me?
Jiang Xiu's strength had indeed exceeded his imagination. He believed that Jiang Xiu was at the initial stage of Inner Strength but now thought that he might've reached the Supreme stage.
"This Deity challenges you!"
Astonishingly, he pointed towards Ye Yiliang. Ye Yiliang's face turned ashen as he cursed in his mind, spitting out spitefully, "You're courting death!"
"Old Lin!"
Old Lin was the most significant support the Ye family had provided him. It was to ensure his safety so that a matter like what happened 10 years ago wouldn't repeat, where he had to request Tang Zhenshan's help to deal with an expert like Lin Zhenbei and had to finally retreat from Jiang City. When Lin Zhenbei had made a comeback, and crippled Tang Zhenshan's arm, the ambition to rule Jiang City's underworld rose in Ye Yiliang's heart.
He was planning to make Old Lin handle Lin Zhenbei and then step on his dead body. Ye Yiliang wished to stand at the apex of Jiang City. However, he hadn't expected Old Lin to have already prepared to act.
Although he'd be on the passive side after exposing his strength, he didn't wish for there to be any variables hindering the ending he had envisioned.
"Okay!"
Old Lin replied in a dull tone and slowly moved towards the arena. He hadn't imagined that the youth whom he had regarded as an ignorant brat before when they met in the wetlands would now stand in front of him as his opponent.
"You're pretty good to have achieved such cultivation at a young age."
Old Lin said in a grave tone.
"Only, it's a pity that you've challenged the wrong person."
Old Lin stamped down, causing an aura to surround his body, which seemed as if it was silk strands.
"Inner to Outer Conversion, Heavenly Silkworm Silk Tempest!"
The others couldn't remain collected anymore. Though they couldn't recognize which skills Jiang Xiu was using, they all recognized Old Lin's ability, "OH MY GOD! It's a Supreme Stage Grandmaster."
Jiang Xiu shook his head coolly, "Just a cheap trick to fool children, that's all."
"Come. This Deity shall enlighten you today, and teach you what true martial arts are."
He lifted his arms slightly, brought his palms together, and made several seals one after another using his fingers. He was executing an Immortal Martial Art.
Mind Pulse Seal, Demon Origin Seal, Heavenly Howl Blast, Thunder Cry Quake, Mythical Origin Change…
Among the seals he formed, it consisted of more than several hundred ones. Even if the opponent could block the first, the second one would follow up and if even that was blocked, he wouldn't be able to block the third one.
"Deity Xiu's Ultimate Skill!"
"Explosion Seal Surge!"
