Chapter 104: Chapter 102: Hearty and Uninhibited
Everything happened so fast. Who could have imagined that the seemingly frail young man would strike without a moment’s hesitation? His methods were decisive and powerful, ruthless and merciless.
His organs were pierced, creating a hole clean through him. It was a truly fatal blow!
As the crowd reeled in shock, a chill crept into their hearts. They stared at Jiang Jichen with a profound sense of dread.
That finger strike was terrifying—simply impossible to defend against.
The Soul Destruction Finger!
With his current Cultivation, Jiang Jichen hadn’t even needed to use a technique like Cloud Dissipation Rain Scattering. He had killed a Samurai of the Feng Family at the Innate Third Realm using only the Basic Attack of his Soul Destruction Finger.
At this moment, who would dare call him useless trash?
Feng Tianxing’s expression was utterly foul, and Prince Wuling’s face was just as grim.
They hadn’t expected Jiang Jichen to be so audacious. To him, killing was as natural as drinking water.
Feng Tianxing couldn’t care less about the life or death of a single Samurai, but this was a vicious slap in the face!
But then, Feng Tianxing suddenly broke into a laugh. "Heh heh... So you do have a few tricks up your sleeve. That just makes this more fun. Kid, do you have any idea whose man you just killed?"
"Does it matter?" Jiang Jichen asked nonchalantly. He then ignored Feng Tianxing, Prince Wuling, and the others, instead casually taking the Nine Phoenix Floating Shadow Hairpin from Jiang Ling’Er’s hand. He carefully placed it in her hair and said, "Auntie, this glowing hairpin looks so beautiful on you!"
"Like Little Gray Skeleton?"
Having returned to her usual self, Jiang Ling’Er asked with a giggle.
And sure enough, the Little Gray Skeleton glanced up at Jiang Ling’Er’s hair, only to quickly turn its head away.
’That purple hairpin is nice, but it’s nowhere near as shiny as the Treasure Pearl Necklace!’ the Little Skeleton thought to itself, pleased.
Seeing that they were being ignored, Prince Wuling, far from growing angry, actually smiled. "I don’t know whether what Young Master Feng says is important or not, but I’ve heard you care a great deal for those servants and maids from the Five Mansions. What if I were to slaughter all the men and feed their minced flesh to the dogs? As for the women... I could throw them into a brothel and force them to service a thousand customers a day. What do you think of that?"
"What does any of this have to do with them? Do you think the Law Enforcers of the Cultivation World don’t exist?"
Hearing Prince Wuling’s words, Jiang Jichen’s calm facade shattered, his expression changing drastically.
Prince Wuling’s smile widened. He felt he had finally found Jiang Jichen’s weakness, but his voice was chillingly cold as he said, "The Law Enforcers are high and mighty; why would they bother with such trivial matters? Besides, you probably don’t know this, but Young Master Feng’s uncle is a noble Law Enforcement Steward!"
Jiang Jichen took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm. "Then what do you think I should do?"
Prince Wuling spoke in a tone one would use when toying with a lesser being. "As for what you should do, you’ll have to ask our esteemed Young Master Feng!"
And so, Jiang Jichen turned to Feng Tianxing, his voice calm as he repeated the question, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Feng Tianxing shot Prince Wuling an appreciative glance, thinking he was quite a useful man to have around.
His gaze fell upon Jiang Jichen. He knew the boy was proud, and he relished seeing proud people forced to submit to him.
"Kneel down now and kowtow to me a thousand times in front of everybody. And then? Cripple your own Cultivation. Sever your four limbs... no, all five of them. Haha..."
Feng Tianxing grew more excited as he spoke, finally breaking into a crazed, uncontrollable laugh.
’Toying with someone so bold, arrogant, and proud... holding him in the palm of his hand... was a uniquely satisfying feeling.’
"Anything else?"
Jiang Jichen asked faintly.
"That’s all I can think of for now. You can get started on that. Don’t worry, I’ll ’play’ with Jiang Ling’Er for you. Heh heh... after all, you won’t have your five limbs anymore!"
Feng Tianxing said with sadistic glee.
"In that case, you can die!"
Jiang Jichen suddenly strode toward Feng Tianxing, his fighting spirit erupting like a volcano.
Listening to Feng Tianxing and Prince Wuling, a rage had been building inside him, suppressed to the point that he felt he might explode!
In truth, this rage had been festering since his encounter with Cang Songzi. It had subsided a little after he killed the man, but it was still there, leaving him deeply unsettled.
Why should an Upper-level Spiritual Cultivation Power get to be so high and mighty, treating the weak of a Small Country like livestock to be slaughtered at will? Why should the strong get to treat the weak like ants, to be crushed underfoot as they please? Why could they kill whenever they wanted, while the weak and lowly were doomed to lose friends and family for a single misplaced word?
This might be a world where the strong were respected and the weak were prey, but shouldn’t there still be some basic moral line? Otherwise, what was the difference between men and beasts?
And in Jiang Jichen’s eyes, people like Cang Songzi, Feng Tianxing, and Prince Wuling were worse than beasts. They deserved to die!
Seeing Jiang Jichen radiating fighting spirit, his eyes filled with sharp killing intent, Feng Tianxing and Prince Wuling remained utterly unfazed.
Jiang Jichen might have been able to kill an Innate Third Realm Samurai with a surprise attack, but one of them was at the Innate Sixth Layer, and the other was at the Innate Fourth Realm Perfect Realm. How many times stronger were they than that mere Samurai?
Jiang Jichen was, after all, only at the Innate First Realm Perfect Realm. They could crush him with the sheer difference in their Realms. Besides, they didn’t even need to lift a finger; seven or eight Martial Artists at the Innate Third Realm Perfect Realm had already stepped forward to block his path.
Feng Tianxing stared at Jiang Jichen. "Do you really not care if they live or die? You need to understand, everyone connected to you is going to die. And let me be perfectly clear—you will suffer endless torture and humiliation before you’re allowed to die!"
Jiang Jichen’s voice was detached, but laced with cold killing intent. "What if I care? What if I don’t? At worst, it’s a battle to the death!"
"As for you killing the Spirit Moon Sect, the Jiang Mansion, and everyone connected to me—go ahead. What does it have to do with me? But as long as I live, one day, I will slaughter everyone connected to you. That will be my revenge!"
Jiang Jichen’s words were utterly merciless.
Against these arrogant, inhuman monsters, there was no retreat, no room for compromise. There was only the fight!
Seven Samurai of the Feng Family blocked his path, but instead of retreating, Jiang Jichen advanced, surging forward like a tiger into a flock of sheep. The attacks they blasted toward him were simply shattered by his charge.
How could these Spirit Cultivator Samurai at the Innate Third Realm possibly injure a body at the Innate Second Realm Body Refining Realm?
"Seven Stars Gathering, endless starlight!"
"Heaven-Shattering Palm Intent!"
"Wind God Leg!"
.....
As Jiang Jichen closed in on the Samurai, he unleashed his Body Cultivation Martial Techniques without holding back.
Before he had reached the Innate Body Refining Realm, there were many profound Body Cultivation Martial Techniques he couldn’t use, or at least couldn’t unleash to their full potential.
But now, every punch and kick Jiang Jichen threw felt utterly exhilarating.
Combined with his Ghost Shadow Step Technique, Jiang Jichen moved like a dragon soaring through the sea, a tiger leaping across a mountain gorge, a spirit ape darting through the forest. His energy was boundless, his momentum overwhelming!
THWACK! THWACK! THWACK...
The seven Samurai at the Innate Third Realm Perfect Realm had no power to resist whatsoever and were all slaughtered by Jiang Jichen on the spot.
