Chapter 105: Chapter 105: A Towering Tree on the Grave Mound

THUMP!

Xiao Gu, an Elder of the Alchemy Master Guild and a First Heaven Martial Master, crashed heavily onto the flat ground outside the Jiang Family’s reception hall, his body as rigid as a stone. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Uh..."

Everyone from the Jiang Family was stunned.

The scene was simply unbelievable, utterly bewildering.

Xiao Gu was someone they were all supposed to treat with the utmost respect.

But now, he had suddenly been sent flying, crashing into the distance.

It was simply too hard to believe.

And it seemed that Jiang Chen was the one who had done it.

Everyone stared at Jiang Chen as if they had seen a ghost.

They couldn’t believe it was real.

In terms of fighting Xiao Gu, the Jiang Family certainly had at least a dozen people who could defeat him.

But Xiao Gu’s status was far too great; he was not someone they could afford to provoke.

The Alchemy Master Guild was a behemoth. Anyone who provoked them was asking for trouble.

The Jiang Family couldn’t afford to offend them.

However, these taboos meant nothing to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Han had already collapsed to the ground, his body limp.

Fear began to grip him. ’This son of mine... I’m afraid he’s going to destroy the Jiang Family.’

Of course, what was even more incredible was his Cultivation.

He was merely at the Warrior Third Heaven.

And yet Xiao Gu, a First Heaven Martial Master, had been sent flying by Jiang Chen, completely unable to resist.

"Gulp..."

"Am I seeing things?"

"Lord Xiao Gu was sent flying by Jiang Chen."

"Yes, you’re not mistaken. Young Master Jiang Chen really did send him flying."

BOOM!

Everyone was so shocked they couldn’t even get up. They had no idea what to do.

Someone even whispered, "Young Master Jiang Chen, do you realize you’re in deep trouble?"

But Jiang Chen replied coolly, "I don’t. But I do know that anyone who dares trespass in the Jiang Family’s home, disrespects the Jiang Family, or disrespects my parents is the one in trouble."

The family members were completely floored.

This kid was a lost cause.

He was still spouting nonsense at a time like this.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen walked out of the reception hall, step by step, and approached Xiao Gu.

Xiao Gu was now practically a block of ice, lying on the ground.

However, Xiao Gu had not given up completely.

Within the ice, his Cultivation erupted.

He suddenly exerted his strength.

CRACK!

After a great deal of effort, he finally shattered the ice and climbed out.

Of course, the endless Cold Ice Qi still ravaged his body, draining more than half of his Cultivation.

After crawling out of the ice, Xiao Gu saw Jiang Chen approaching and no longer dared to underestimate him.

He stared at the white fan in Jiang Chen’s hand. He knew that Jiang Chen had just struck him with a single wave of that fan.

There was something strange about that fan.

But after crawling out, Xiao Gu’s expression grew even more ferocious.

Staring at Jiang Chen, he roared, "Jiang Chen, how dare you do this to me?"

"You’re a dead man, you know that?"

"I am an Elder of the Alchemy Master Guild! You dare disrespect an Elder of the Alchemy Master Guild?! You, and your entire Jiang Family, will be destroyed by us!"

He threatened Jiang Chen, having grown wary of him.

He didn’t dare to charge forward recklessly.

Even though Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was lower than his, his methods were far beyond anything Xiao Gu could have imagined. A lingering fear remained.

If Jiang Chen’s Cultivation had been the same as his, he feared he would already be dead.

Jiang Chen’s face was cold, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Xiao Gu.

He said coolly, "I won’t disrespect you. I’ll just make you grovel at my feet and beg for mercy."

"The moment you threaten my Jiang Family again, I will use my own methods to show you whether your Alchemy Master Guild has what it takes to destroy the Jiang Family."

"All those who threatened me? The trees on their graves have already grown tall."

His heart was filled with ice.

His eyes, too, were full of a cold light.

No one who threatened Jiang Chen was left alive.

His steps were unusually steady, and each one that landed on the ground seemed to carry an uncanny rhythm.

THUD...

THUD...

Seeing Jiang Chen press forward, Xiao Gu grew flustered.

For every step Jiang Chen took forward, he took one step back.

He was trying to avoid Jiang Chen.

"Don’t come any closer, kid! I’m telling you, I’m an Elder of the Alchemy Master Guild!"

"If you dare disrespect me, I’ll make sure you die a miserable death."

He was panicking. To think that someone with lower Cultivation was actually making him feel afraid.

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked like a predator stalking its food, and he, unbelievably, was the prey.

He had no choice but to threaten Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen remained unmoved.

He rapidly closed the distance to Xiao Gu.

He suddenly waved the Divine Wind Fan in his hand again.

SWOOSH!

In an instant, an icy wind once again swept through the Jiang Family courtyard.

The biting cold seemed to freeze the very air.

The wind from the Divine Wind Fan and the Cold Ice Qi appeared at the same time.

The members of the Jiang Family stared, their mouths agape in shock.

"How is that possible?"

"How can Young Master Jiang Chen be so powerful?"

"What kind of treasure is that?"

Everyone had thought they understood Jiang Chen, but now they found him more and more inscrutable.

Jiang Chen’s mystery and power made them all feel inadequate.

Even his audacity was second to none.

Faced with an Elder from the Alchemy Master Guild, they wouldn’t have dared to do anything, yet Jiang Chen both beat and cursed him.

It was simply terrifying.

Jiang Han was already at a loss.

However, seeing that his son was unharmed, he felt a bit relieved.

His son now had the upper hand.

This left him feeling even more helpless. He remained motionless. After all, he hadn’t moved before, so was he really going to go up and stop his son now?

Things had already come to this.

THUMP!

Even though Xiao Gu tried to dodge, he still couldn’t escape the icy wind from Jiang Chen’s Divine Wind Fan.

His body was swept up by the cold wind, turned into a block of ice, and sent flying a good twenty to thirty meters before it crashed to the ground.

After using the Divine Wind Fan twice, Jiang Chen found that a full two-thirds of the Cultivation in his body had been depleted.

His face grew slightly pale.

’I really need to be careful when using the Divine Wind Fan.’ Jiang Chen shook his head slightly.

The Divine Wind Fan was, after all, a Spiritual Treasure Level item. Its power was immense, but so was its consumption.

If not for his Warrior Third Heaven Cultivation, a single use would likely have exhausted all of his Cultivation Power.

With his current Cultivation, being able to withstand three uses was already quite good.

Moreover, the higher his Cultivation, the more times he could use it.

Of course, the power of the Divine Wind Fan would also increase greatly with his Cultivation.

Xiao Gu was once again sent flying.

He was sealed within the ice.

His entire Cultivation was completely sealed by the ice.

He could no longer resist; he couldn’t even break out of the ice.

If no one helped him break the ice, he would likely freeze to death inside it.

Walking over to the ice-encased Xiao Gu, Jiang Chen knew that he no longer had the strength to even break free.

He waved the Divine Wind Fan.

"Withdraw!"

The next moment, the ice was rapidly sucked into the Divine Wind Fan as if a great whale were drinking water, and it vanished without a trace.

A gentle warmth returned to the Jiang Family’s courtyard.

Everything was back to normal.

Only the somewhat chaotic surroundings bore witness to the great battle that had just taken place.
