Chapter 66
As expected, Jiang Xiu finally pointed towards Uncle Fu. The Lin family members all went pale from that. They had just come here to watch the show and hadn't come here to participate in the Dao Soldier Meet. They could refuse, but if the grand Lin family refused the challenge of a feral youth then they'd lose all face. There was no way the Lin family would tolerate that.
Lin Mi's face changed colors, "Brat. You won't have a good end if you make an enemy of my Lin family."
Jiang Xiu's gaze swept past her indifferently, "This Deity's enemies are all left corpeless."
"This Deity shall have him die here today no matter whether he enters the arena."
No one doubted his words as he had already shown enough proof with the way he dealt with his previous opponents.
The Lin family members all trembled.
Since the situation had come to this, there was no need to say anything else. There was no way the Lin family would kneel and beg forgiveness. Uncle Fu laughed heartily, "Feral brat, you think you're amazing because you've killed only one or two people?"
He soared several meters high and landed on the rock lion's statue with his toe's tip, standing there with perfect balance. His aura flared up and his gaze turned like that of a hungry wolf.
"You dare humiliate my Lin family? Receive death!"
Uncle Fu's appearance turned malevolent, his eyes completely blood-red. He crossed his arms and filled them with energy, channeling it towards his palm then making them as sharp as a sword. Followed by a loud boom, a frightening sword energy pulsed out as he seemed to come to a standstill.
"Grand Sect - Way of the Sword!"
His heart throbbed with power, blood flowing with energy as all of his body's power concentrated towards his hand blade. At this moment, it seemed that only his hand blade was moving while the rest of him seemed frozen in place.
As that sword slashed out, it seemed as if void had split into two halves.
Swoosh!
The energy spread out as if it were corporeal, releasing a hiss in its wake.
His sword had already touched the level of supernatural power, just a step away from entering the level of Demigods.
Everyone cried out at the appearance of another person who was at the Quasi-Demigod stage.
"Kill him!"
After seeing Jiang Xiu's strength, the party from the Lin family had lost all their confidence. But now, after seeing Uncle Fu's strength, they had regained it back as Uncle Fu was a Quasi-Demigod.
But they had completely forgotten that Jiang Xiu had already defeated a Quasi-Demigod in a split second.
"Die!"
Jiang Xiu gazed at him coolly, a cold glint flashing through his gaze. He waved his right hand as if he was swatting a housefly away.
BOOM!
This time, he hadn't displayed any showy skills since he had already grasped the strength of these so-called Quasi-Demigods. He didn't even need to use an Immortal Martial Skill completely. A force similar to heavenly suppression pulsed out, passing through the floors, flagpoles, statues… crushing them all into pieces. It went straight towards Uncle Fu who was 25 meters away. There was no difference between him and the crushed stone pieces on the ground. He exploded into a fine powder as if made of paper.
Nothing was left to salvage!
Silence. Deathly silence crept upon the place.
It even seemed as if the wind had stopped blowing.
Everyone was stunned, left entirely dumbfounded. Their minds turned to mush.
I-Is he… even human?
The power to crush a human into dust with just a single wave of the hand had caused everyone present there to feel fear from the very depths of their souls. Their legs trembled with a feeling of wanting to kneel down and kowtow as if they'd to a God.
"This…"
Ye Yiliang, Lin Jinnan, and Lin Mi were all people who had seen true experts, but even Demigods didn't possess such frightening strength.
In fact, Jiang Xiu's power wasn't human. It was a God's power, though he hadn't awakened completely and was merely at the 3rd Mythical Realm, it was still the power of a Demigod, and such power wasn't something a human could comprehend.
Just like a confrontation between martial artists and armed soldiers.
It'd end in a complete wipeout!
Jiang Xiu gazed towards Lin Mi, "You want to intimidate this Deity? Really ignorant and funny! This Deity has killed your servant now, what ability does your Lin family have to deal with me?"
The color drained from Lin Mi's face as her bosom heaved up and down violently.
A loyal servant got slain and she had to even receive such humiliation. There was no way Lin Mi didn't feel anger, but she felt even more afraid. Jiang Xiu possessed an unimaginable strength and she didn't even have a chance to feel regret now. If she hadn't offended this person then Uncle Fu wouldn't have died, she wouldn't have suffered this insult, and wouldn't have made such an abnormal as well as a powerful enemy.
"You have nothing to say?"
How could Lin Mi and her colleagues dare say anything? They had acted so overbearingly yesterday yet they could only act like stray dogs now, not even daring to shout.
"If you have nothing to say then get lost from this Deity's view."
The grand eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Mi, had never felt so humiliated. She wanted to curse back at him in anger but her heart had felt a chill when she saw Jiang Xiu's indifferent expression which seemed like the gaze of the Bodhisattva placed in the temple. She couldn't muster up the courage and could only accept defeat. "Let's go."
"Humph!"
In the previous timeline, Jiang Xiu had entered the Imperial Capital after his parents' death and had suffered a lot of humiliation. Were it not for his parents still being alive in this timeline, and him being unclear of his mother's intentions then there was no way he'd have let Lin Mi leave this place alive.
Lin Mi's group was filled with rage as they left.
The Lin family had lost all face in Dongzhou.
Uncle Fu had died and she couldn't leave home empty-handed, "Right, what's that person's name?"
The crew-cut youth said, "It seems like he's called Mr. Jiang."
A person crawled up along the stairs, filled with fury. He had suffered heavy injuries. Blood flowed through his tattered clothes. It was none other than Tang Tao who was sent flying by Jiang Xiu.
"I'll kill you… kill you…"
Lin Mi scolded in her mind, Idiot. And continued to descend down the mountain.
The mood had become extremely tense in the temple right now because Jiang Xiu was going to choose the next person. With his cultivation, no matter who he pointed towards, they'd only end up dead. No one could remain fearless in such a situation. They all prayed for the Buddha's blessings and protection.
However, Tang Wenchong was excited. All the face that the Tang family had lost before was won back now, using an overbearing victory.
All the humiliation he had received before had all blown away.
"Mr. Jiang?"
Ye Yiliang felt agony. No matter which era, heroes are never willing to submit. His gaze filled with confusion since he knew that this youngster would become famous in the future without a doubt. His life goal which he had strived for all his life was so easily accomplished by Jiang Xiu and he was just a teenager. Is Jiang City's underworld going to fall into his grasp from now on?
He felt extremely unreconciled.
"You believe no one can defeat you?"
Jiang Xiu curiously looked for the voice's source. Ye Yiliang was the one who said it. "There's still one person. He's the ultimate expert in Jiang City."
"Hoh? Who is it?"
Everyone discussed among themselves. Before they had arrived here, they had all heard one matter that Lin Zhenbei had returned.
"He's the underworld overlord who had ruled Jiang City for several years."
"Lin…"
Whiiirrrrrr!
At this moment, the sound of propellers turning around came from the sky. It was easy to make the judgment that it was a helicopter.
Everyone raised their heads one after another.
A helicopter approached them from the horizon. The cabin's door was open and a man sat there with his legs dangling in the sky in a relaxed manner. His gaze looked down at everyone present below.
"It's him!"
Ye Yiliang could never forget this man.
"He said he'll return, and he really did."
Ye Yiliang exposed a solemn expression on his face. Many of the other big shots gathered over here had also recognized him.
"He returned?"
That helicopter slowly reduced his altitude.
Jiang Xiu also felt curious about just what kind of a man it was that could make everyone seem as if their nemesis had arrived, "Who is he?"
Yi Yeliang spelled it out for him, "LIN! ZHEN! BEI!"
The place was in chaos after hearing this name.
Though many of them didn't know who that man on the helicopter was, this name was quite infamous.
"Only he, Lin Zhenbei, would use make such an extravagant appearance."
The helicopter kept lowering his altitude. Lin Zhenbei's gaze filled with excitation. I've returned. 13 years, a full 13 years have passed.
He had lost everything here 13 years ago.
And now, 13 years later, he was planning to recover everything he had lost.
Tang Zhenshan, Ye Yiliang, none of you shall return alive today.
"Jiang City. I, Lin Zhenbei, am back."
The return of a king naturally made people more excited than the competition to decide who would rule Jiang City.
Lin Zhenbei noticed the youngster standing in the middle of the arena. It seemed to him that all of the people present below were all looking at him with respect. He sneered. Has Jiang City already degenerated to such a stage after 13 years that even a child can tyrannize?
"Hmm. Wait a sec…"
"That silhouette…"
When Lin Zhenbei saw Jiang Xiu's appearance clearly, his eyes grew wide open in shock. IT'S HIM!!!
