Free Web NovelChapter 330: Chapter 328: Sinking Mountain Unsheathed
Lei Yang felt his Qi Sea explode and shatter!
From now on, he was... a cripple!
Lei Yang was desperate, but even more, he was filled with an infinite hatred.
"You piece of trash, how dare you cripple me? Do you know who I am? You..."
Lei Yang shouted, his face contorted as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
But before he could finish, Jiang Jichen sent him flying with a kick, straight toward the Spirit Infant elder who was soaring through the air.
"I have no interest in knowing. I only know that you tried to kill me. I’ve already shown mercy by merely crippling you!"
Jiang Jichen said, his expression completely unchanged.
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Lei Yang was so enraged he coughed up blood and passed out, caught at the last second by the arriving Spirit Infant elder.
"How dare you... cripple Lei Yang? Do you have any idea who he is? He’s the third young master of the Lei Family and the personal disciple of Tian Chuan Grandmaster from the Pharmacist System!" free𝑤ebnovel.com
The Spirit Infant Realm elder’s expression was absolutely ghastly, and he was incandescent with rage.
He could sense that Lei Yang’s Qi Sea was shattered. Repairing it wasn’t impossible, but the cost would be immense.
And this kid had actually ignored his command to stop. His audacity was simply off the charts.
The students watching from the sidelines were stunned, gawking in disbelief at the scene before them.
Lei Yang had actually been defeated!
And... he’d been crippled!
This was an absolute catastrophe!
Who was that young man?
At that moment, everyone wanted to know.
How could someone who defeated Lei Yang—ranked seventieth on the Southern Continent’s list of young masters—while only at the Grandmaster Realm possibly be a nobody?
The new students of the Pharmacist Institute, in particular, couldn’t believe it. Their revered Senior Brother Lei Yang had been defeated, his Cultivation crippled.
’He’s only at the Grandmaster Realm, yet he’s this powerful!’
A strange light flashed in Qingya’s eyes. She recalled what Ouyang Xue had said—that he... had hidden his Cultivation, that he... was very strong. It was all true.
The Spirit Infant Realm elder fed Lei Yang a miraculous pill, temporarily stabilizing his injuries, then handed him over to several subordinates who had just arrived.
Many students of the Pharmacist Institute recognized the elder, and their expressions changed in alarm. They knew a momentous event was about to unfold.
Whether it was the wrath of Tian Chuan Grandmaster or the retaliation of the Lei Family, the entire Yunshui City was sure to be shaken.
They all recognized him as Elder Liu, an attendant to Tian Chuan Grandmaster. His authority was immense; many teachers at the Pharmacist Institute had to follow his orders.
Just then, several more teachers from the Pharmacist Institute flew over; they were all Spirit Infant Realm experts.
Though everything had happened in a short time, the commotion had been too great not to attract the attention of the teachers.
"What’s going on?"
A commanding voice cut through the air. A middle-aged man appeared before the crowd, followed by three teachers from the Pharmacist System.
"This kid crippled Lei Yang. Teacher Shan, as the President of the Pharmacist Institute’s Law Enforcement Association, you should know how dire the consequences will be!"
Elder Liu said, his voice grim.
"What!"
Not only Teacher Shan, but even the three teachers behind him cried out in shock.
"I don’t know what hole this piece of trash crawled out of, daring to come here and steal medicine. He even crippled... two students, plus Tian Chuan Grandmaster’s personal disciple, Lei Yang! I’ll cripple him myself, then present him to Master Tian Chuan to decide his ultimate fate!"
Elder Liu spoke, his tone murderous.
Hearing Elder Liu’s words, Jiang Jichen’s expression turned cold, but he said nothing.
’These were all their people. What good would talking do? They’re the ones calling all the shots!’
"As for those behind this kid—his family, his Sect, his friends—Teacher Shan, you know what to do, don’t you?"
Elder Liu continued.
Teacher Shan’s gaze was dark. He knew this kid had really crossed a line; no one could save him now.
So he replied, "Naturally, no one behind him will be spared. We will slaughter his entire clan and annihilate his family!"
Elder Liu now stood before Jiang Jichen, staring coldly. "Do you know that the person you crippled is ten thousand times nobler than you? You lowly medicine thief! You will suffer the most brutal death imaginable!"
"A moment ago, you dared to ignore my words. Now, I will cripple you!"
Elder Liu’s words were like a final verdict, sealing Jiang Jichen’s fate.
And in his eyes, Jiang Jichen was indeed no different from an ant.
With a single step, he appeared at Jiang Jichen’s side and thrust a palm toward his Qi Sea.
His speed was like lightning, his presence crushing.
The students watching from the sidelines felt the air grow heavy, as if a great mountain was pressing down on them.
Such was the might of a Middle Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator—terrifying and astonishing.
For a Spirit Infant Middle Realm cultivator to cripple the Qi Sea of a young man at the Grandmaster Realm, the outcome should have been a foregone conclusion.
Even if his opponent was a genius Transcender!
Yet, no one could detect even a hint of panic on Jiang Jichen’s face.
He even closed his eyes!
His Seven-Colored Divine Soul spun to its absolute limit, just barely capturing a trace of Elder Liu’s attack trajectory.
Then, a long, pitch-black blade appeared in his hand, and he swept it horizontally before him.
Sinking Mountain was unsheathed!
That single sweep contained the entirety of Jiang Jichen’s strength.
The moment he gripped Sinking Mountain, he felt as if he had become the blade itself, a faint resonance forming between his heart and the sword.
Body and blade as one, intent and blade in harmony—the nascent will of Sinking Mountain was born!
BOOM!
Elder Liu’s palm didn’t strike Jiang Jichen’s Qi Sea. Instead, it collided with the pitch-black blade. freewebnøvel.com
In that instant, everyone froze, unable to believe the young man had actually blocked Elder Liu’s attack.
The attack speed of a Middle Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator was astonishing; it was something a Grandmaster Realm Cultivator shouldn’t have been able to perceive, let alone react to.
But that was what had happened. And... that wasn’t all.
Because they saw Elder Liu sent flying by the sweep of that pitch-black blade, forced back nearly ten meters.
But the even greater shock was that Elder Liu’s hand... was bleeding!
The webbing between his thumb and forefinger had been torn open!
To tear open the hand of a Middle Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator... just how much... power was behind that sweep?
"Impossible!"
Even Elder Liu himself stared at his bleeding hand in disbelief.
’That power!’
At that moment, a sliver of fear actually sprouted in his heart.
After that single sweep, Jiang Jichen had already drifted back a great distance. He stared coldly at Elder Liu. "You are merely a servant. What gives you the right to try and cripple me?"
"What arrogance. He may be a servant, but he is *my* servant, Tian Chuan’s. And what are you? Who are you to criticize him? You even dared to cripple my own disciple. I wonder who gave you such audacity? Hmph!"
A voice suddenly rang out, dripping with condescending authority.
PUFF!
As the final "hmph" echoed, Jiang Jichen felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, his body threatening to shatter at any moment.
His internal organs felt like they had been displaced, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
