Chapter 330: How Powerful Are You

Wen Xin looked towards Fan Tu. From the latter’s expression, she knew it would be impossible for him to kneel down.
During her stay there, she had come to know these mountain people better.
They weren’t crazy and b.l.o.o.d.y people as the rumors said, but they were firm and stubborn.
“Liu Yongliang, are you sure you want to go that far?!”
Wen Xin stood in front of Fan Tu and the other Jiangs, staring at Liu Yongliang.
“How about this, princess? If you can take one palm attack from me, I’ll let them go. How does that sound?” said Liu Yongliang.
“Oh?”
Wen Xin was surprised. He had said it in a very casual way, but she could feel the coldness hidden in his small eyes.
The crowd looked at each other, expecting her answer.
Liu Yongliang was in the peak of the late stage. Wen Xin was in the beginning of the late stage. They had a huge gap between them, but it was still possible for her to take a palm attack from him.
“Okay.”
Wen Xin thought that in the worst case scenario, she would be injured, but even if that happened, she would be able to get through it and recover.
“Princess!” Jiang Feng and others shouted in grat.i.tude. At the same time, they felt ashamed that they needed a woman to fight for them.
Wen Xin gnashed her teeth and stood opposite Liu Yongliang. She said, “Bring it on!”
“Okay!”
Liu Yongliang didn’t waste his time talking. When he launched the attack, his smile became bigger, but when he had taken a step forward, Wen Xin’s heart sank, because she knew this was going to be a serious attack.
Wen Xin couldn’t remember whether there were any conflicts between them that could have made Liu Yongliang want to pull out all the stops.
Liu Yongliang, who had formed forty-nine holy points, almost replicated the savagery the Third Prince had shown in the Sacred Inst.i.tute’s compet.i.tion.
The palm attack carried a powerful energy. Wen Xin was almost broken down by it.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out of bed for the next couple of months.
Wen Xin was manipulating all of her forces while thinking.
“Princess, blame yourself for that. You’ve been with Jiang Chen since the beginning. This is what Apprentice Brother Ning wants!”
Suddenly, Liu Yongliang’s voice could be heard.
“Huh!” Wen Xin tumbled to the realization, but she didn’t regret her choices. She was surprised Ning Haotian was so repentant.
“Here it is!”
Liu Yongliang changed the position of his hands when he was close enough to Wen Xin. The energy soared again.
The energy in his left hand formed a giant elephant, while that in his right hand became a fierce tiger.
The elephant and the tiger attacked together, their target Wen Xin.
“That’s so powerful!”
“That’s the strength of number four on the Talent List!”
Liu Yongliang felt very complacent. He said proudly, “Princess, you’ll know how powerful I am from this palm attack!”
Wen Xin gnashed her teeth and raised her hands to take the attack.
Liu Yongliang was much more aggressive than Wen Xin.
In other people’s eyes, Wen Xin’s efforts would be in vain. She wouldn’t be a match for Liu Yongliang.
Bang!
When the two palms collided, a crack appeared on the ground between them. The released power of the attack turned into a strong wind, blowing everywhere.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, the site was shrouded in silence. After the attack, nothing had happened to Wen Xin. She looked totally fine. She was still where she had been standing.
The most interesting thing was that even she herself was surprised.
“Powerful? How powerful are you?”
An unexpected voice came from behind Wen Xin. Not until then did people notice there was someone standing behind her, supporting her back with his hands.
“Jiang Chen!”
They were familiar with that face. They weren’t mistaken.
Wen Xin sensed something, causing her to want to look back. To her surprise, with a push from the hands on her back, she felt a strong energy injected into her body, then emitting from her arms.
Liu Yongliang screamed. He flew into the air, spitting blood. When he fell, he pa.s.sed out due to the impact.
“Gos.h.!.+”
Many people took a deep breath. This was true power!
“Jiang Chen!”
“Young lord!”
“Young master!”
The Red Cloud Peak surrounded him in pleasant surprise, their eyes glowing. Jiang Chen had arrived just in time.
Even Fan Tu, who hadn’t wanted Jiang Chen to come back, was extremely excited.
“This is bad. Go.”
The troublemakers were frightened of Jiang Chen. He wasn’t a kind person in the slightest.
“Didn’t I tell you to go?” Jiang Chen shouted coldly.
Some people were hesitating. Others thought it would be impossible for Jiang Chen to stop all of them, so they had been about to leave anyway.
“Huh.”
Jiang Chen grasped the handle of his black knife with his left hand. The reverse-blade knife was out again.
“A Limitless Sword Attack!”
In the blink of an eye, the knees of everyone present, those who had stayed put and those who had jumped onto the airs.h.i.+p, were severely injured. They knelt down one by one.
“Repent what you did wrong.”
Then Jiang Chen went back to where he had been standing and put the black knife back into its sheath.
Many people tried to stand up, but they felt numb and weak in the knees.
“Mighty young master!”
Wind Move Guards raised their arms to cheer at what they had seen. He had vented their anger for them.
“You’re still the same. How did you survive in the Sacred Inst.i.tute with that character?” Wen Xin joked. She was very happy.
“I’m charming. What can I do? I’m very popular at the Sacred Inst.i.tute,” said Jiang Chen.
If Wen Xin ever had the chance to go to the Sacred Inst.i.tute to take a look for herself, what would she think?
“Wait. Why is my Red Cloud Peak such a mess?!”
Not until then did Jiang Chen see the damage the Red Cloud Peak had suffered.
His question reminded people that it wasn’t time to feel happy just yet. Fan Tu said seriously, “Young lord, I didn’t turn on the tactical formation in time to fight against the enemy, because there were too many people shouting outside, and I was afraid to harm the innocent. Ning Haotian took his chance and cracked it.”
“Ning Haotian? So he did it. Are you all right? Are you injured?” Jiang Chen asked in a caring tone.
“Young master, two guards were hit by rocks,” a Wind Move Guard said.
Jiang Chen treated his clan’s injuries personally.
No wonder they’re so loyal, Wen Xin thought when she saw this other side of Jiang Chen.
After that, Jiang Chen looked towards the Peak of the Heavenly King and said, “He had the nerve to destroy my Red Cloud Peak, so I won’t allow him to enjoy his Peak of the Heavenly King, either!”
“Young lord, don’t act recklessly. Ning Haotian completed his ordered seclusion today. Before that…” Fan Tu told him what had happened at the Peak of the Heavenly King.
“A golden light? Haha, that’s the energy of the black tortoise being used success. It took him several days and nights to absorb it. Without holy pulses, he’s a piece of c.r.a.p.”
Jiang Chen didn’t think it was a big deal. He looked at the nervous people around him and said, “Don’t worry. I’m a Reaching Heaven State, too. I’m already in Cloud Two.”
“What?!”
“How did you achieve it so fast?!”
Meng Hao, Wen Xin, and the others were all shocked, especially Fan Tu. He had said Jiang Chen might have been in the initial phase of the Reaching Heaven State in the best case scenario, when in fact, he had already achieved Cloud Two.
Jiang Chen hadn’t told them that he had developed eight extraordinary meridians, his holy pulses had all recovered, and he had formed a core of thunder in his Qihai.
If he told them, he was afraid that so much information could cause their brains to break down.
“So I’ve come back this time to settle the score with Ning Haotian. Now that he’s attacked first, I won’t show him any mercy, either.”
Jiang Chen glanced at those kneeling on the ground and said, “If you stand up without my order, whatever happens, you’ll be the ones to blame.”
Then he flew towards the Peak of the Heavenly King.
