Chapter 265 - 265: Night Raid (4)
Jiang Feng wasn't certain at first, but there was no way for him to forget this face that had been deeply engraved in his mind.
Since he had been born, this was a face that had always stood in his way no matter what he did. It was a face that he had hated from the bottom of his heart and wished he could rip apart piece by piece.
But after his heart was filled with hatred, he slowly began to calm down.
He remembered the amount of power that Jiang Zhi Shu had just shown and he knew that he might not be able to take him down.
Jiang Zhi Shu naturally also recognized Jiang Feng, he had recognized him from the moment he had seen him.
There was a list in his heart of people from the Jiang Family that he had to kill and this Jiang Feng was one of the people on that list.
He had heard all about how Jiang Feng had tried to plot against Yuan Xiang Qin and as a man, how could he let this go? He was already a failure for not being able to protect his beloved, but now was he going to let this man who tried to hurt her walk away scot free?
The last fragment of his pride as a man would never allow that.
Lin Fan could tell that there was something off with Jiang Zhi Shu, so he had secretly placed a barrier of wind around this room.
There was currently a ladybug on his finger inside his pocket which was one of the puppets that Brainy controlled. He used his absorption power to draw out the power of the ladybug's law to combine with his own fragmented wind laws to create a barrier that was at the peak of the Platinum Realm.
He could have created a barrier with his spatial laws, but that would have been too prominent. Wind laws were a better choice since they had a low presence while also being powerful.
It was a good thing that he had chosen to put this barrier up since there was someone who had been trying to escape.
Jiang Yu could naturally tell that this situation was bad and as the coward that he was, he immediately made plans to abandon all his subordinates and even the main branch member of the Jiang Family just to escape himself. However, he never expected to run right into Lin Fan's barrier.
After Jiang Feng had exposed Jiang Zhi Shu, Jiang Zhi Shu had completely ignored him and had turned to Lin Fan to say, "Boss, I want to kill him."
Lin Fan wasn't surprised when he heard this since he had already seen the list that Jiang Zhi Shu had kept. This was one of the conditions that had been discussed when Jiang Zhi Shu agreed to follow Lin Fan.
Lin Fan just nodded and said, "If you kill him, we have to make sure that there's no witnesses."
Jiang Zhi Shu turned to the various Wasp Hive members that were scattered around before turning back to Lin Fan, "Boss, can you finish them off then?"
Lin Fan gave a laugh, "I can, but you have to remember to take care of this quickly. They might even send another main branch member soon and we want to avoid that."
After all, Lin Fan's goals were just to cause pressure to the Jiang Family. Killing a single main branch member was fine, but if they went any further, it would be equal to declaring war on the entire Jiang Family which didn't suit his goals.
Jiang Zhi Shu looked right at Jiang Feng and said, "I'll only need five minutes."
A vein popped out on Jiang Feng's head, he couldn't take being looked down on like this.
He had already ignored the fact that they had been talking like he wasn't here, but now Jiang Zhi Shu who he hated with a passion was saying that he would defeat him in just five minutes?
Who was the current Jiang Zhi Shu?
He was nothing more than trash that had been kicked out of the family while he was one of the brightest geniuses of the Jiang Family. The difference in status was clear and Jiang Feng had been working hard to surpass him, using everything he had to become stronger.
But there was that small voice of reason that was in his heart saying, "Why? Why is Jiang Zhi Shu stronger than me?"
He couldn't deny it since he had been the one who had been blown away in their clash just now. He had experienced the power in Jiang Zhi Shu's attack first hand, so he knew that he was indeed no match if they were to fight.
But his pride would never allow him to back down.
Since that was the case, there was no need to hold back anything. He would burn out in a blaze of glory as long as it meant he was able to kill Jiang Zhi Shu.
That was just how much he hated him.
Jiang Feng gave a roar and those snakes on his shoulders suddenly gave a screech that sounded like the scream of death.
Those two snakes wrapped around his spear, completely becoming a part of his spear.
At the same time, Jiang Feng's cultivation suddenly began to surge. It was like it would keep surging without stopping.
Lin Fan suddenly knit his brows when he felt this because he knew that something was wrong.
What Jiang Feng was using was a forbidden technique, he was sacrificing his talent and his life force to forcefully increase his cultivation. There was no limit to how much his cultivation could increase because in the end, what he would pay with would be his life.
This technique was one that was taught to every member of the Jiang Family because they believed that sacrificing oneself for the family was the greatest thing they could do. This meant that at any time, any member of the Jiang Family could be asked to use their life as payment to protect the family.
Jiang Feng had always looked down on this rule since to him, nothing was more important than his life since he was destined for greatness. But at this moment, he would gladly pay that life to take Jiang Zhi Shu's.
That was how much hatred was in his heart.
Even if it was repeated a thousand times, a million times, it still wouldn't be enough to describe it.
As his cultivation swelled, Jiang Feng spat out a mouthful of white breath before saying, "Jiang Zhi Shu, you will die today."
Lin Fan could tell that Jiang Feng's cultivation had reached the peak of the Platinum Realm already. It was not something that Jiang Zhi Shu could block even with the power Rocky provided.
It was not because Rocky was too weak, it was because Jiang Zhi Shu's weapon was too weak to contain Rocky's power. It would shatter before it could break through Jiang Feng's attack.
Lin Fan didn't even think about it as he waved his hand, drawing out a spear that was completely white which he threw right to Jiang Zhi Shu before saying, "Use this, your weapon can't take this attack."
Jiang Zhi Shu quickly grabbed the spear and the moment it reached his hand, he could tell that this wasn't a normal weapon. He quickly shouted, "Thanks boss!"
But Lin Fan didn't hear this since he was already moving out to take care of the rest of the Wasp Hive.
He had put up a spatial law barrier around them before throwing Jiang Zhi Shu's subordinates across the room at the members of the Wasp Hive.
Jiang Zhi Shu's subordinates quickly came back to their senses and started attacking these members of the Wasp Hive who were all in a daze watching Jiang Zhi Shu and Jiang Feng's clash. It didn't take long before they were all taken care of.
Lin Fan personally caught Jiang Yu and was holding his knocked out body by the back of the collar while watching Jiang Zhi Shu and Jiang Feng, waiting for their clash.
Jiang Feng had naturally seen all this, but he ignored it all. All he could see in his blood red eyes was Jiang Zhi Shu.
Both of them had been gathering their power since they both wanted to end it with a single strike, but Jiang Feng suddenly gave a cough and spat out some blood.
Jiang Feng looked down at his own blood and knew that his body wouldn't be able to take anymore of this, so it was either he struck now or he would collapse before he could strike.
So without any further hesitation, Jiang Feng immediately dashed out with his spear drawn back, prepared for one final stab with all his power. As he dashed forward, his eyes never left Jiang Zhi Shu as he shouted, "Jiang Zhi Shu, die!"
But Jiang Zhi Shu was ready.
He had also been gathering Rocky's power in the tip of his spear the whole time and while he hadn't reached the peak of this power yet, he didn't have a choice.
He also gave a roar as he charged out with his spear pulled back.
Both of them charged forward and both of them stabbed out at the same time.
The tips of their spear clashed and there was only a single second of balance before there was a large explosion that came out from the collision.
