This second wondrous effect stirred Jiang Yang the most, filling him with both surprise and delight.
Suppress Old Qi, Punish the Unjust—the meaning was simple. Anyone who fought Jiang Yang would have their old qi suppressed and be punished as unjust.
In practical terms, whenever they clashed, the suppression of old qi would leave his opponent feeling as though black clouds loomed overhead and ill fortune clung to them, causing mishaps to arise one after another. Only those favored by destiny could withstand it.
Punishing the unjust was even simpler. What constituted injustice? Being Jiang Yang's enemy was injustice. Anyone Jiang Yang marked as unjust would suffer restraint and injury, and their wounds would be difficult to heal.
As for the final ability, Fated Presence, it was the most overbearing of all: [Manifest your imposing presence, and fate shall be ordained!]
Applied to combat, this wondrous effect meant that when Jiang Yang's attacks descended with dazzling, majestic force, they carried the power of ordained fate. The target could neither evade nor escape, only resist head-on, never dodge.
"This... really is overbearing."
Although this innate Peach Bow and Thorn Arrows ability did nothing to bolster his cultivation or improve his aptitude, its combat power left Jiang Yang marveling.
Even setting aside the first half's ability to shatter baleful intent and execute evil, this latter wondrous effect alone would benefit him endlessly.
These wondrous effects did have certain shortcomings, of course. For instance, Suppress Old Qi was useless against children of destiny. Those whose good fortune rivaled the heavens, blessed like auspicious stars and celebratory clouds, went their entire lives without knowing hardship. Ill fortune naturally could not descend upon them.
And though Punish the Unjust was useful, it could only designate one person at a time, making its effect less conspicuous
