Chapter 44: Jiang Chen’s Timely Arrival
A sharp sound of cutting through the air resounded. This was followed by a strong blast of wind that raised the treetops and tore the leaves apart.
In the distance, Lin Feng’s figure appeared on a rooftop, continuing to produce blurred images as he leaped ahead.
But just then, another faster blurred image darted from the side, slamming hard into Lin Feng.
Bang!
A powerful energy wave spread outward, causing the nearby tiles to scatter everywhere!
"Who?!" Lin Feng shouted in anger. Caught off guard, he was sent flying back hundreds of meters, leaving deep marks in the ground with his legs when he landed!
"Hmph! Lin Feng, right? If you want to save someone, you have to deal with me first!" a voice declared confidently as a figure dressed in a black robe and hood stood on the roof, looking down at Lin Feng. It was Jiang Xingtai in disguise!
"You’re... from Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain!" Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed as he quickly figured out the other person’s identity!
He also realized that his opponent’s level of cultivation was in the Mysterious Platform realm, which left him feeling both shocked and angry. Notably, Lin Feng himself was only at the Early-stage Spiritual Awakening realm, while his adversary had sent someone in the Mysterious Platform realm to face him, which was completely outrageous!
"Let’s see how long you last against me!" Jiang Xingtai said dismissively, ignoring Lin Feng’s question and charging forward!
"Move!" Lin Feng roared, his figure blurring as he tried to get around Jiang Xingtai and rush to Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi’s aid!
"Trying to escape?" Jiang Xingtai took a single step to intercept Lin Feng and immediately launched an attack.
Lin Feng realized he couldn’t save Ning Xian and his Master without driving away the person in front of him, so he immediately began to fight back, thinking to himself, ’Superior Overbearing Force!’
"This move is quite good!" Jiang Xingtai smirked, playing with his opponent like a cat with a mouse, easily countering Lin Feng’s technique.
"Damn it!" Lin Feng felt a wave of frustration and anger. He realized he needed to give it everything to have any chance of getting rid of this person. But if he used the Burning World Raging Flames, the Zhou Clan would...
At that moment, Jiang Xingtai’s attack came again!
’I don’t care anymore. Burning World Raging Flames, take him down!’ Lin Feng thought determinedly, his eyes turning red as a burst of flames exploded from his body, fiercely attacking Jiang Xingtai!
’What is this flame?! It feels incredibly dangerous!’ Jiang Xingtai’s heart raced, his figure darting around, barely dodging Lin Feng’s flames. If he hadn’t followed Jiang Chen’s advice to stay extra cautious, despite seeming relaxed, he might have been slightly injured this time.
Seeing this, Ning Xian felt a wave of despair wash over her. However, even though her body shook slightly, she didn’t back down an inch!
She was determined to fight back with all her might if Tian Wendong dared to come closer, no matter how hopeless it seemed...
Just then, a thunderous "boom" erupted, shaking the entire Vast Spirit House.
"Who’s there?!" Cao Junli, Tian Wendong, and the other three immediately changed their expressions, realizing that their formation had been broken.
Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi also widened their eyes, turning their gazes towards the door. They saw a young, handsome man strolling in, his expression cold: "Who dares to be so bold in my Autumn Glory City and cause chaos? Do you have no fear for your lives?"
Recognizing the newcomer, Ning Xian exclaimed, "Jiang Chen!" Her tense mind immediately relaxed, and her eyes filled with tears.
But quickly, Ning Xian’s relief turned to worry as she shouted in alarm, "Jiang Chen, run! They’re all Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators; they’re after us! You need to get away!"
Qiu Liaoxi, not wanting to involve the honorable Jiang Chen in their trouble, also spoke weakly. "Jiang Chen, leave quickly; this has nothing to do with you!"
Hearing the name Jiang Chen, Tian Wendong, who had been scrutinizing this unwelcome intruder with narrowed eyes, suddenly had a look of recognition. He remarked, "Hmph, you must be the Jiang Clan’s prodigy in Autumn Glory City. So young, yet already at the Early-stage Spiritual Awakening realm."
"I didn’t expect you to be involved with these two. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to leave today," he said coldly to Jiang Chen, whose expression remained unchanged.
Although Tian Wendong was hesitant to start unnecessary trouble with the Jiang Clan, it was clear that Jiang Chen had a close relationship with Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, and he might even have the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.
"I won’t be able to leave? Hmph," Jiang Chen retorted confidently, "I, Jiang Chen, never planned on leaving anyway."
"If you dare harm my people, each of you will pay today," he declared, his eyes filled with a lethal glare, and his voice echoing like a cold wind from an icy cave.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s firm and unyielding position, Cao Junli roared angrily, "Take him down first! Be careful; he might call for backup." He immediately launched a powerful punch. His fist shone with a cold light, clearly hiding a sharp blade.
Tian Wendong and the other three didn’t hesitate, each drawing a dagger-like artifact of the Spiritual Awakening rank.
At the same time, Qiu Liaoxi cried out desperately, "Jiang Chen, take Xian’er and run; don’t fight them head-on!" With a sudden burst of energy, she lunged towards Tian Wendong.
Ning Xian also summoned her Origin Power, releasing a wave of energy that sliced through the air, also aimed at Tian Wendong.
The atmosphere in the Vast Spirit House shifted from calm to intense, as everyone sprang into action.
