Jiang Wang had no clear understanding of Yang Xuance's strength. After all, they had never truly fought. Back in Cangfeng City, they had merely "discussed business"; on Qiyang Battlefield, they had exchanged only a single sentence; and on Sea Gate Island, he had caught only a glimpse of him.
Judging by the fact that he had been able to kill Huang Yixing, he should possess combat strength at the Outer Tower level.
But there was absolutely no way he had reached Divine Presence.
Jiang Wang had now newly acquired the Red Heart Supernatural Power. With the strength of the Number One Inner Palace of the World, he had attained the Heavenly Mansion. After recuperating for so long at Moon-Washing Nunnery and making a circuit through the grasslands, his injuries had fully healed. His spirit was brimming, and every aspect of him stood at an absolute peak.
At the Inner Palace level, he had no rivals. At the Outer Tower level, so long as he did not encounter figures on the level of Dou Zhao or Chongxuan Zun, he could sweep through them all.
He had even slain all four Outer Tower Supernatural Power cultivators of the Evil-Suppressing Army!
So the moment he saw Yang Xuance, he intended to attack directly, without even needing to probe him first. That was the embodiment of his confidence.
And Yang Xuance fleeing the instant he spotted him naturally showed that he understood full well the weight of the Number One Inner Palace of the World.
Jiang Wang stepped out of the tavern, crushing the Azure Cloud beneath his feet. Though clad in a hooded hemp cloak, he still carried the drifting grace of an immortal.
In but an instant, guided by remembrance, he crossed several streets in succession and crashed into a narrow alley.
