In the dead silence, the rain of blood fell to the ground and vanished into nothingness, as though it had never existed.
A few seconds passed.
The entire Jiang Family erupted. Countless Jiang cultivators' excited voices rang through heaven and earth.
"The Family Head killed the Heaven-Mending Sect Master with one punch!"
"So strong! Is this our Family Head?"
"Worthy of the God King—his combat strength is even more terrifying than before!"
Such cries rose and fell. The Jiang Family members felt their blood boil, their bodies brimming with strength as they longed to throw back their heads and roar!
This was their Family Head!
Though he had lived in seclusion for years, one move from him was enough to shake the entire Northern Region and Eastern Wilderness!
At this moment, the Jiang cultivators felt incomparably proud and honored to be part of the Jiang Family.
Compared to the Jiang cultivators' excitement, Jiang Yifei, Jiang Mochen, and the Heaven-Mending Sect Master were completely dumbfounded.
The Heaven-Mending Sect Master, the faith in their hearts, had actually been killed in a single punch by Jiang Wuhui!?
How was that possible?
One had to know that even in the vast Eastern Wilderness, the Heaven-Mending Sect Master was a supreme expert who could rank among the top ten!
With a mere stomp of his foot, the entire Eastern Wilderness would tremble three times!
Yet now, he had actually... died??
"How is this possible? The Sect Master's strength was unfathomable, enough to rank among the Eastern Wilderness's top ten. How could he die just like that?"
"I don't believe it! This isn't real!"
Witnessing such an outcome, all the Heaven-Mending Sect's experts lost their heads. Some even let out voices like sleep-talking.
"How can this be? The Sect Master was a supreme expert whose might shook the Eastern Wilderness. How could he fall like this??"
At this moment, Jiang Yifei's face was filled with terror, turning deathly pale.
The Sect Master was dead. This meant that today, let alone becoming the Jiang Family's Imperial Son, he might not even be able to escape safely!
After all, what he had done was no different from betraying the Jiang Family!
"God King, you killed our Sect Master. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the entire Heaven-Mending Sect and the major Eastern Wilderness factions allied with us?!"
An expert of the Heaven-Mending Sect shouted furiously, his voice shaking heaven and earth.
"Retaliation?"
Jiang Wuhui could not help but laugh. He swept his gaze across the Heaven-Mending Sect experts, and an incomparably cold, domineering voice rang between heaven and earth.
"Then let them come! Let's see whether they dare!"
With a thunderous shout, Jiang Wuhui swung out his palm. Like an infinitely terrifying Five-Finger Mountain, it instantly suppressed every Heaven-Mending Sect expert.
In an instant, all the Heaven-Mending Sect experts were forced to the ground, their faces pale. Some even spat mouthful after mouthful of blood, their faces filled with terror.
For a moment, boundless fear surged within them, and they could not help recalling the title Jiang Wuhui had borne in his youth—
Killing Fiend!
At this moment, they felt some regret—regret over following the Sect Master to the Jiang Family.
Otherwise, they would not have fallen into such a despairing situation.
"Lord God King, please calm your anger. We merely followed the Sect Master here; it was not our own intention. We beg you, Lord God King, to show mercy and spare our lives. From this day onward, the Heaven-Mending Sect is willing to follow the Jiang Family's lead!"
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Figures dropped to their knees one after another and cried out with utmost sincerity:
"We beg Lord God King to spare our lives! The Heaven-Mending Sect is willing to follow the Jiang Family's lead!"
"We beg Lord God King..."
"You want me to spare your lives? Fine. After all, I am not such a bloodthirsty man."
Jiang Wuhui indifferently swept his gaze over the Heaven-Mending Sect experts kneeling on the ground and spoke calmly.
Hearing this, the Heaven-Mending Sect experts' eyes instantly lit up.
They were saved!
"Thank you, Lord God King!!"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
For a time, the experts kowtowed even more fiercely, the sounds ringing out without end.
But at that moment, the next two words Jiang Wuhui spoke made their hearts sink once more.
"However..."
"However what?"
The Heaven-Mending Sect experts stared intently at Jiang Wuhui.
"However, I have one condition. Your sect's Holy Son, Jiang Yifei, will fight my son Jiang Xuan. If Jiang Yifei wins, all of you—including Jiang Yifei and Jiang Mochen—may leave. But if Jiang Yifei loses, everyone dies!"
Jiang Wuhui looked at them and spoke calmly.
"Really?!"
Upon hearing Jiang Wuhui's condition, brilliant smiles appeared on the faces of Jiang Yifei, Jiang Mochen, and all the Heaven-Mending Sect experts.
They knew Jiang Xuan was Jiang Wuhui's son and possessed both the Primordial Supreme Bone and Undying Double Pupils, making him an unparalleled genius.
But according to the news, when Jiang Xuan had returned to the Jiang Family not long ago, he had only been at the Dao Palace Realm.
Now that only a few days had passed, no matter how monstrous his talent was, how could he possibly be Jiang Yifei's opponent?
After all, Jiang Yifei had already broken through to the Fifth Heaven of Dragon Transformation Realm and possessed the Azure Heaven Tyrant Body. Even in the vast Eastern Wilderness, where geniuses gathered like clouds, he could rank among the top ten!
For a moment, Jiang Yifei, Jiang Mochen, and the Heaven-Mending Sect experts were overjoyed.
They could not help thinking, Could it be that the God King does not wish to drive matters to the bitter end and is deliberately giving us a way out?
"Family Head, I agree to this battle!"
Jiang Yifei beamed with delight and immediately nodded, afraid Jiang Wuhui would change his mind.
"Good. Since that is so, let us begin."
A glint flashed through Jiang Wuhui's dark eyes as he turned to look toward one of the Jiang Family's palaces.
There, a tall figure in white slowly approached. His posture was like a green pine, his white robes fluttering, and his transcendent aura made him seem like an immortal cast down into the mortal world.
Without question, that figure was Jiang Xuan!
Jiang Xuan had just finished his seclusion and headed straight toward Jiang Wuhui upon emerging.
"Is that little bastard Jiang Xuan?"
Cold light flickered in Jiang Yifei's eyes as he stared fixedly at Jiang Xuan, a grim expression surfacing on his face.
This was his first time seeing Jiang Xuan, yet the hatred rising from the depths of his heart flooded his entire chest.
Without Jiang Xuan, he would have been the Jiang Family's most dazzling genius, watched by all.
He would have become the Jiang Family's Imperial Son, borne the hopes of two great factions, swept aside all opposition, and climbed to the summit.
But Jiang Xuan's return had changed everything, turning it all into bubbles. Even his own younger brother had been killed.
That immense hatred dyed his eyes crimson, and he secretly resolved to eliminate Jiang Xuan.
Only then could he reclaim everything that belonged to him!
"During a match, it is perfectly normal to accidentally kill someone, isn't it?"
The corners of Jiang Yifei's lips curled upward. Looking at Jiang Xuan, he revealed a smile and murmured softly.
"So that is the God King's son, Jiang Xuan? He truly looks extraordinary, but his cultivation... Four Extremes Eighth Heaven?? Wasn't he supposed to be a Dao Palace ant?"
The Heaven-Mending Sect experts were startled upon seeing Jiang Xuan's cultivation.
What happened to the Dao Palace Realm? How had he become late-stage Four Extremes Realm?
If Jiang Xuan had truly changed this much in only a few days, just how terrifying was his talent?!
"Good, good. He has not entered the Dragon Transformation Realm yet. No matter how high his talent is, he cannot possibly be Yifei's opponent..."
Very soon, the Heaven-Mending Sect experts calmed down, and smiles resurfaced on their faces.
Jiang Yifei was at the Fifth Heaven of Dragon Transformation Realm. No matter how heaven-defying Jiang Xuan's talent was, what could it change?
Would he not still be crushed by Jiang Yifei?
"Father."
Upon arriving, Jiang Xuan first looked at Jiang Wuhui and called softly. Then he turned to Jiang Yifei, a teasing expression appearing on his face as he spoke calmly:
"Come. If you win, not only will I let all of you leave, even the position of Jiang Family Imperial Son will be yours."
