There Was No Medicine for Regret in This World

At the entrance to the Xingfeng Sect.

Jiang Yaotian and four elders were waiting there.

Jiang Yaotian's face was full of puzzlement. A full two hours had passed since Jiang Hong entered the Xingfeng Sect.

But Jiang Hong still had not returned, leaving him with a bad feeling.

"Household Head, if we don't attack the Xingfeng Sect before daybreak, the other lineages in Liuyang Town will surely send people to investigate. Then we'll be in trouble."

An elder offered the reminder.

The Jiang Household had acted so suddenly this time that the lineages in Liuyang Town had not yet had time to react.

If they failed to take down the Xingfeng Sect at once, the other lineages would inevitably grow suspicious.

For a major household like the Jiang Household to send so many people against a minor faction was suspicious, however one looked at it.

Jiang Yaotian pondered for a moment before saying:

"Let's go in and scout things out first. Be careful."

He planned to take a look first. Jiang Hong had been inside for so long without returning; it was far too strange.

However, just as Jiang Yaotian was preparing to lead his men into the Xingfeng Sect,

he suddenly noticed someone standing at its entrance.

None of them had even noticed when the person appeared.

The figure simply stood there, watching them in silence.

Jiang Chen, who was hiding in a tree some distance away, immediately recognized the newcomer and shouted, "Father, it's Chen Feng!"

Hearing Chen Feng's name, Jiang Yaotian narrowed his eyes and stared at the distant figure.

"You're Chen Feng?" Jiang Yaotian was even more puzzled now. Chen Feng was here, so where was his younger sister, Jiang Hong?

Chen Feng smiled and said:

"You seem surprised to see me. Is she the one you wanted to see?"

As Chen Feng spoke, Wang Hu and the other Xingfeng Sect martial artists also ran out of the sect grounds and stood beside him.

Wang Hu was carrying a charred person in his hand.

Most of the person's body was covered in blackened, hardened skin, as though wrapped in a charred shell.

In some places, the skin had burned away, revealing dark red granulation tissue beneath. It was a horrifying sight.

Jiang Yaotian immediately looked at the person Wang Hu was carrying, but did not recognize her at first.

"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Yaotian grew wary.

He had a bad feeling.

Just then, a weak voice came from the person in Wang Hu's hand. "Elder brother, our Jiang Household is finished."

Jiang Hong had resigned herself to her fate. She knew the Jiang Household could not be saved.

In the end, the Jiang Household was only a martial arts Aristocratic Clan. How could it possibly stand against an immortal cultivator? As long as Chen Feng used the flame he had used against her,

the Jiang Household's Xiantian martial artists could not possibly withstand it.

Hearing that familiar voice, everyone from the Jiang Household went pale in an instant.

"Sister Hong!"

"Grandmaster!"

"Aunt!"

The Jiang Household members all looked shocked.

From her voice, they had recognized the person Wang Hu was carrying as Jiang Hong.

But they could not believe what they were seeing.

Jiang Hong was a Transformation Realm expert! How had she ended up in such a miserable state?

In their minds, someone in the Transformation Realm was practically invincible. How many Transformation Realm experts were there in the entire Yue Kingdom?

A chill rose in the hearts of everyone from the Jiang Household.

The Jiang Household had gathered so many martial artists to attack the Xingfeng Sect, and they had been on the verge of wiping it out.

Yet at such a moment, their strongest fighter had ended up like this.

The plunge from heaven to hell was difficult for them to accept for the time being.

Everything felt unreal to the Jiang Household members.

Jiang Chen also ran over from the tree, staring in horror at the charred Jiang Hong.

"Aunt, you're a Transformation Realm expert! How could you lose to them? How is that possible?!"

Jiang Chen had completely lost his bearings and was in a frenzy.

In his heart, his aunt was invincible, the greatest backing he would have in the future.

How could a tiny Xingfeng Sect possibly defeat his aunt?

Faced with Jiang Chen's question, Jiang Hong said nothing and closed her eyes.

Jiang Yaotian took a deep breath, looked at Chen Feng, and said:

"Sect Master Chen, the Jiang Household was in the wrong. If we had known you were this capable, we wouldn't have dared go after the Xingfeng Sect even if we'd had ten times the courage. How about we put this behind us? The Jiang Household is willing to pay compensation."

"Whatever terms you set, Sect Master Chen, the Jiang Household can agree to them. My sister Hong is a commander in the imperial city. If the imperial city learns of this, it won't be good for either of us."

As Household Head, Jiang Yaotian had managed to remain calm.

At that moment, he knew the Jiang Household had lost.

He and the others had vastly underestimated the Xingfeng Sect and Chen Feng.

All they could do now was negotiate with the other side. Although Jiang Hong had lost, the Jiang Household still had over a thousand martial artists.

Jiang Hong also held a position in the imperial city.

If the Jiang Household fought to the death, even if the Xingfeng Sect was not wiped out, more than ninety percent of its people would be killed or wounded.

Chen Feng paid no attention to Jiang Yaotian's words. Why hadn't these people thought of sparing him when they came after him?

Now that they saw things going badly, they immediately backed down, but there was no such abundance of medicine for regret in this world.

If he had not returned to the Xingfeng Sect in time, Wang Hu and the others would likely have died.

Chen Feng waved to Wang Hu and the others.

Wang Hu and a dozen or so other martial artists immediately understood and each took out yellow C4 explosives.

Without hesitation, the dozen or so men hurled the C4 in their hands at Jiang Yaotian and the others.

For martial artists like Wang Hu and his men, throwing something a few dozen meters was effortless.

They did not know what the objects were. Chen Feng had simply given them to them earlier and told them to throw them later.

Jiang Yaotian and the others were momentarily stunned when they saw the objects flying at them. Although they did not know what the yellow objects were,

they instinctively circulated their Gang Qi to block them.

However, before the dozen or so blocks of C4 hit the ground, Chen Feng pressed the button on the C4 remote in his hand.

The instant he pressed the button,

the dozen or so C4 charges exploded in midair.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The blast waves and flames instantly engulfed Jiang Yaotian and the others.

Everyone present felt their ears ringing and the heat of the blast wash over their cheeks.

A few seconds later, the explosions stopped, and smoke from the blasts filled the area.

Everyone stared in horror at the distant blast zone.

Although smoke obscured their view, martial artists had eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people, and they all saw the scene in the blast zone.

The Jiang Household members were nowhere to be seen. All that remained on the ground were chunks of flesh, still burning.

Jiang Yaotian was the only one whose body was still reasonably intact, but even he had only his upper half left.

The other four Jiang Household elders, along with Jiang Chen, were all gone.

Terror filled the face of Jiang Yaotian, who had only half a body left.

He wanted to speak, but could not get a single word out.

The shock waves from the explosions had broken straight through his Gang Qi, leaving him clinging to his final breath.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yaotian fell as well.

Even in death, Jiang Yaotian did not understand why those yellow objects could unleash such tremendous power.

"They didn't even try to dodge. Their heads really were made of iron."

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the power of C4. It really was good stuff. Unfortunately, he only had two cases.

If he had more, he could simply send people to throw C4 whenever trouble arose in the future.

The area was silent. The Xingfeng Sect martial artists were too shocked by what they had just seen to speak.

Although Chen Feng's earlier appearance inside the Xingfeng Sect had given everyone immense confidence and hope,

they had still been worried about whether he could deal with the Jiang Household's several Xiantian martial artists.

Yet in reality, their sect master had merely had Wang Hu and the others throw a few things, and the Jiang Household's Xiantian martial artists had been wiped out.

Those were five Xiantian martial artists, including one at Xiantian Great Perfection.

What kind of immortal technique was that?
