NOVEL WEB Chapter 163 Song Chengcheng Apologizes
Half a moment later, in a cave hundreds of miles away,
A tall figure materialises from thin air with the sound of shifting bones; his entire body shrinks by several inches and his hair length, facial features all change.
The appearance of Jiang Hao vanishes, and Chen Yi's figure reappears.
"Ah, the so-called ancient fist skill is nothing more than a Vajra Daoist rhythm imbued into the fist technique to mobilise the Heavenly Power.
I wonder how Jiang Hao managed to cultivate it without…"
At this moment, Chen Yi actually felt envious of Jiang Hao. With an evil cultivator's appearance and confronting weaker opponents, he simply needed to say "abolish your cultivation level."
If they didn't obey, he could wipe them out on the spot, and none of the others dared to argue...
This act of abolishing someone's cultivation was a command Jiang Hao had once given to Ye Huanhuan outside Spirit Fish Island.
Now that Chen Yi had used it, he smacked his lips, relishing its gratifying feel.
As for impersonating Jiang Hao, Chen Yi didn't have any psychological burden. At worst, the real Jiang Hao, suspecting Green Lotus Hermit's involvement, wouldn't dare to create any trouble.
Given the memory of how scared Jiang Hao was by Chen Yi in the past and the fact that Chen Yi had officially used the ancient fist skill today,
Jiang Hao would likely stay out of trouble.
Next, Chen Yi changes his shape again, sneaks back into the Cave Mansion, puts away the formation plate that hides his figure,
Feeling the state of the natural spiritual energy, he knows that Zhao Chengjing is nearing the end of her Foundation Establishment.
Instead of practicing with spiritual energy, Chen Yi sticks the jade token—an ancient inheritance he got from Chai Hui—on his forehead.
"Huh, I didn't expect it to be a Sword Evasion Skill…
No wonder that kid could move so fast during the Qi Refining Period and could even escape Tan Fei's chase over such distance."
"With it, I'll have much more flexibility in the air…"
Following that, Chen Yi begins to comprehend this Sword Evasion Skill.
Half a day later,
Zhao Chengjing's foundation establishment progress, due to the disruption from Tan Dezheng, had been significantly impacted. If it weren't for the two members from the Zhao Family reinforcing the array method continuously,
Zhao Chengjing might have already failed by now.
Seeing the spiritual energy vortex of the second-tier spiritual veins being disrupted by him and becoming unstable, already showing signs of being uncontrollable,
Tan Dezheng laughed heartily, taking a temporary break and was about to sip his rich spirit tea to replenish his mana when,
Suddenly, a subordinate quickly flew over with a report:
"Family head, it's bad, something's happened!"
The one who reported was the same late-stage Qi Cultivation official of the Tan family who had previously witnessed Tan Fei's death.
"Calm down! Don't panic whenever something happens. Catch your breath before you talk."
Tan Dezheng, holding his tea cup and gazing contentedly at the chaotic Zhao family's spiritual veins, chided his subordinate with a smile.
"Family head, the second son was killed by the evil cultivator Jiang Hao."
The subordinate couldn't afford to really calm down, so he just blurted it out.
"What! Pfft!"
Tan Dezheng spat out his mouthful of spirit tea, and the tea cup in his hand also slipped out.
He turned pale with fright, instantly appearing in front of that subordinate, with both hands fiercely clutching the subordinate's collar.
His veins popped, and he shouted, "What did you say!? The Second child died? How is that possible!!!"
Several dozen moments later,
Without a doubt, in the sky above Zhao Family Island, Tan Dezheng suddenly hurriedly left with all his subordinates.
Not long after, Wu Cong from the mine sensationally received the news and also quickly withdrew, chasing after Tan Dezheng's leaving direction.
Zhao Chongjian and Zhao Chengyu looked at each other, confused.
They didn't understand why, when they were nearly collapsing under the harassment of the Tan Family head, the latter suddenly left.
Twenty miles east of the Spirit Tea Garden on Zhao Family Island.
Tan Dezheng, looking as if he had lost a son, was staring at the messy clothes on the water surface and seeing the bloodstains on the rocks.
His eyes were bloodshot, full of rage and hatred; "He didn't even leave my son's body intact!"
"Who was there at the time, tell me, what happened? How did Jiang Hao get provoked?"
The late-stage Qi Cultivation official nervously recounted the previous incident,
"You mean, he broke Fei's flying sword with two fingers, used a punch that drew natural spiritual energy, formed a giant fist imprint in the air, and smashed Fei's amulet, shield, and magical instruments, all with that punch? And Fei died within that very punch?"
Wu Cong from the Wu Family who was there asked this question with a scared look. After getting a nod from several Qi Refining disciples,
His eyes showed fear,
"To refine one's physical body to such a degree, it must be close to the peak of the second tier. This ancient body refining method is truly terrifying!"
Tan Dezheng also looked pale, showing shock on his face.
That person having such means definitely was not there to help the Zhao Family.
Anyone with such strength as a body cultivator must be a major figure at the peak of Foundation Establishment or even at the pseudo-core level of cultivation. The Zhao family could not afford such figures.
Moreover, if he really wanted to target the Tan family, he wouldn't need any tricks, he could just straightforwardly crush the Tan Family.
"Fei was trying to kill a survivor from the Chai family, accidentally hit Jiang Hao who was hidden in the air with his flying sword,
Jiang Hao ordered Fei to abolish his own cultivation, but Fei refused, so he took a punch?"
This style of action is very similar to that of Jiang Hao from years ago.
Tan Dezheng recalled more than twenty years ago when he faced Jiang Hao on Spirit Fish Island,
At that time, he was already at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and Jiang Hao had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Facing Tan Dezheng, Jiang Hao posed an ancient fist skill that mobilised natural spiritual energy,
That time Tan Dezheng was scared by the fist momentum and retreated back to the island, not daring to interfere in Jiang Hao's affairs,
Thinking about it now, it was like dodging a bullet.
If he were to confront Jiang Hao now, he would probably die just like his son.
"Order this down, all members of the Tan Family are to retract back to the island at the highest level, and no one is allowed to talk about Jiang Hao appearing here today,"
