Jiang Zhengqing took Chen Xi's sword head-on, and his protective shield was shattered almost instantly.
After the surging sword energy entered his body, Jiang Zhengqing's vitality was greatly damaged, and he almost died on the spot.
If it weren't for Jiang Zhengqing's high cultivation level, and the vitality in his body was much stronger than Xu Feng's, Chen Xi's sword would have sent him straight to the afterlife.
After narrowly escaping death, Jiang Zhengqing's first reaction was to run, as far as he could …
But that green light followed him closely like a maggot in a tarsal bone, and he couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried.
His current wretched appearance perfectly reflected those eight words:
The peak of Taixing, flying immortal with one sword.
In fact, from the moment the green light appeared, the three words "Mr. Chen" were destined to resound throughout the cultivation world of Hua Xia.
Unfortunately.
There were always people who thought that seeing was believing, and hearing was false. They had to witness it with their own eyes to truly understand what it meant by "when three people walk together, one is bound to learn from the other."
Jiang Zhengqing was such an example.
Although Mr. Chen cut down Xu Feng at the peak of Taixing, Jiang Zhengqing would always think that Mr. Chen was no match for him if he hadn't fought him personally.
After all, the blood of the Jiang clan flowed in his body, and he cultivated the most complete "immortal method".
Xu Feng was a Higher Diviner, after all. No matter how weak he was, he should have been able to last three to five rounds, right?
But Xu Feng couldn't even take one move from Mr. Chen …
Jiang Zhengqing admitted that he couldn't do that, so he couldn't imagine that there was someone in this world who could defeat a Higher Diviner with one move.
How was that possible?
Was there something fishy going on?
Maybe it was a trap set up by Xu Feng and Mr. Chen, and their purpose was to elevate Mr. Chen's status so that the entire cultivation world of Hua Xia would follow his lead, just like how the leaders of the martial arts world were elected in wuxia novels.
Therefore, when Jiang Zhengqing heard that Mr. Chen's father-in-law had come to Daiyu Island, he disregarded his status and injured Qin Yongyan. His purpose was to force Mr. Chen to show up and fight with him.
To be honest, Jiang Zhengqing's thought process was somewhat similar.
"This girl can afford such an expensive bag. She must be a mistress..."
'He was able to open his own company at such a young age. It's all thanks to his parents. He won at the starting line from the moment he was born …'
Who knows what kind of shady business he's doing behind the scenes when he's earning so much money …
In this regard, Chen Xi only wanted to say one thing to him:
Is it that difficult to admit that others are better than you?
This was a fundamental difference.
Even though Chen Xi had only recovered 70% of his strength, there was still a huge gap between him and Jiang Zhengqing. The two of them could not be compared at all.
Of course, this gap was actually the gap between Earth and Heavenly Spiral. It did not mean that Jiang Zhengqing was really useless. Therefore, even though Chen Xi's cultivation had long since surpassed the entire Earth, he would not be arrogant and condescending because of this.
It was better to be humble as a person.
However …
Since Jiang Zhengqing was determined to court death, Chen Xi naturally would not show mercy.
Otherwise, how could he account to Yingying?
His father-in-law was being bullied. As a son-in-law, he naturally had to stand up for him.
Therefore, no matter how Jiang Yuankui tried to smooth things over, Chen Xi turned a blind eye to it. Today, he was determined to kill Jiang Zhengqing on the spot.
However, what Chen Xi did not expect was …
The moment the flying sword shot into Jiang Zhengqing's back, a burst of white light suddenly appeared on Jiang Zhengqing's body.
At the same time, a deep and old voice suddenly sounded on the island.
"Since he is powerless to resist, I hope that Mr. Chen can be merciful on account of your wife and spare his life for the time being."
After the old man's voice sounded, the bronze cauldron that had been standing in the middle of the square started to tremble slightly.
Immediately after, a golden light suddenly shot out from the bronze cauldron.
The light shot straight into the sky!
It was as if a crack had been torn open in the dusky sky in an instant.
Under the contrast of the golden light, one could even clearly see the rolling clouds in the sky.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could not help but frown as he looked at the bronze cauldron in the middle of the square. A faint sneer appeared on his face.
This scene …
It was really similar.
After the golden light shot into the sky, a fluorescent golden barrier opened up like an umbrella, instantly enveloping the seventeen small islands.
The sky suddenly lit up, and the array was activated!
For so many years, the Jiang clan had never truly activated the array.
Now that it was suddenly activated, everyone was immediately scared out of their wits, so much so that the island was full of panicked shouts.
Seeing that the other party had suddenly assumed such a posture, Chen Xi gently handed the little fellow in his arms to Qin Ruoying, then waved his hand towards the sky.
Then, the green light flew straight back to his hand as if it had a mind of its own.
Since the other party wanted to fight, then he could only accompany them to the end.
After all, it was not certain who was afraid of whom.
"You are the ones who are stirring up trouble, and you are also the ones who want to make peace …"
"You dare to come to this broken place, and everything is up to you?"
"Is there really such a good thing in the world?"
"You can't really think …"
"This broken array can stop me?"
After responding coldly to the sky, Chen Xi held the long sword in his hand and turned to look at Jiang Zhengqing, who had just fallen from the sky and was now lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Because of the protection of the array, the sword just now did not directly kill him.
However, it did not matter. At most, he would just follow up with another strike.
Thus, Chen Xi raised his right hand and prepared to strike again.
However, at this moment …
The old man's voice rang out once more.
"The Jiang family has no intention of making you an enemy, so this array only has the effect of defense and does not have the ability to kill."
"This child, Zhengqing, has been arrogant since he was young. It is inevitable that he would look down on the heroes of the world. I hope that you will not lower yourself to his level …"
"Sir, the name 'Yama's Sorrow' has been passed down for a long time. I'm sure you have some experience in refining medicine …"
"Now that rare treasures are hard to find, there are many people who want to refine a spiritual medicine but cannot find the right ingredients …"
"Recently, there happened to be a ginseng flower on Daiyu Island that has reached five hundred years of age …"
"I thought of giving this flower to you as an apology to your father on behalf of Zhengqing. I hope that you will be magnanimous and forgive him this time …"
Ginseng flower?
After hearing this, even Chen Xi could not help but be stunned.
A ginseng flower that had just reached five hundred years of age …
Ginseng flowers were very common in Heavenly Spiral, but the rare ones were those that were exactly five hundred years old.
A little is not enough, but a lot is more than enough.
It was not too much, not too little.
Who would have thought that Daiyu Island would have such a rare treasure?
Perhaps it was because he had not seen anything good in a long time, but Chen Xi could not help but feel a little moved.
However, after thinking about it, he still replied coldly, "Don't blame me for not showing mercy. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being blind and hurting someone who should not have been hurt."
After saying that, Chen Xi continued to walk towards Jiang Zhengqing with his sword in hand.
In reality, even if Chen Xi had been injured, there was still room for negotiation for the sake of this ginseng flower.
However, Jiang Zhengqing had injured Qin Yongyan …
How could they continue the negotiation?
There was no room for negotiation at all.
Because Jiang Zhengqing's injuries were too severe, he was already in a semi-conscious state. He had no idea that death was slowly approaching him.
Jiang Yuankui stood on the steps and was so anxious that he wanted to call the police, but he did not dare to stop him.
He was really afraid that if Chen Xi was unhappy, he would cut him down as well …
At such a critical juncture, it was obvious that only the old man whom he had never met before could stop Chen Xi.
Just as expected.
Just as Chen Xi was about to swing his sword, the old man's voice rang out unhurriedly.
"Sir, you're actually here for your wife, right?"
"The matter of Si Ming Xuan Nu involves the secrets of our clan. It should not be mentioned to outsiders …"
"If you're willing to let Zhengqing live, I promise to tell you everything I know …"
