Chapter 131: The Terrifying Wine Jar

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Terrifying Wine Jar

A huge crowd had gathered in front of the Tang Family Castle.

Jin Canghai led the Jin Family members to a halt in an open area cleared by the crowd, causing the expressions of everyone from the Tang Family Castle to turn solemn.

"Tang Zhong, has your Tang Family sought me out because you plan to give up?"

Jin Canghai sat high atop a horned horse, looking down on the members of the Tang Family.

Beside him, Jin Guiyun sat on another horned horse, his legs bent at a strange angle. Yi Xiaoyao had crippled them, and though they had since healed, the aftereffects remained.

"Jin Canghai, we sought you out this time to discuss a truce between our two families," Tang Zhong said gravely.

Jin Canghai burst out laughing. "A truce? When has my Jin Family ever been at war with your Tang Family Castle? Haven’t we simply been crushing you unilaterally this entire time? Your Tang Family isn’t even qualified to be at war with us."

Tang Zhong’s expression turned ugly, but he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "My Tang Family is willing to pay a price and make some concessions..."

But Jin Canghai didn’t even let Tang Zhong finish, laughing in fury. "In your dreams! Can ’some price’ bring my son, Jin Lingfeng, back to life? My son, Jin Guiyun, still has to endure the excruciating pain in his legs every single day! Is that something a mere price can make up for?!"

"Today, unless you hand over that little bastard Yi Xiaoyao, I will immediately raze your Tang Family Castle to the ground!" Jin Canghai roared.

Tang Zhong and the Tang Family elders frowned deeply, their gazes shifting to Tang Ruoxue and Guan Feng.

"Patriarch Jin." Understanding their cue, Tang Ruoxue stepped forward and addressed Jin Canghai. "My name is Tang Ruoxue. I am a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect’s Sect Leader. I ask that Patriarch Jin show us some deference. For the sake of my Hundred Flowers Sect, or perhaps my master, would you be so kind as to spare the Tang Family Castle?"

Hearing this, Jin Canghai shot Tang Ruoxue a glance, then snorted coldly with a face full of disdain.

"The Hundred Flowers Sect? What kind of third-rate, minor sect is that? And who the hell is your master? Get lost!"

Jin Canghai was brimming with confidence. Outsiders might not know it, but his Jin Family was backed by the number one sect, the Cloud Transformation Sect. What was the Hundred Flowers Sect in comparison? He’d never even heard of it.

Moreover, the Jin Family’s campaign to suppress and annex the Tang Family was done under the instruction and support of the Cloud Transformation Sect. Though Jin Canghai didn’t know why, the Cloud Transformation Sect had even sent someone to the Jin Family a few days ago to urge him to destroy the Tang Family Castle.

Instantly, Tang Ruoxue’s expression turned icy.

Guan Feng, beside her, flew into a rage. The Hundred Flowers Sect might be a minor sect, but not to the point where it could be so belittled and insulted by a family from some small city.

"You’re courting death! Today, on behalf of the Hundred Flowers Sect, I’ll teach an ignorant old fool like you a lesson!"

With a furious roar, Guan Feng’s Spiritual Power erupted. He drew his longsword with a SHING and shot toward Jin Canghai.

Jin Canghai let out a few cold chuckles. He had sensed the aura of Guan Feng’s Cultivation, and his expression didn’t waver in the slightest.

"So the Tang Family found a reckless brat who doesn’t know his place. But to think he can deal with me? Utterly absurd!"

The next moment, a powerful aura burst from Jin Canghai’s body. He raised a palm infused with immense Spiritual Power and violently struck out at Guan Feng.

Guan Feng’s expression changed slightly. He realized that Jin Canghai wasn’t at the Golden Core First Realm as the reports had said, but was the same as him—a Golden Core Second Realm cultivator.

Even so, Guan Feng wasn’t worried in the least. He was the number one genius in the Hundred Flowers Sect, looked up to by countless disciples, so he was extremely confident in himself.

"Hundred Flowers Sword Technique!"

The sound of a sword hummed loudly. Guan Feng was using the Hundred Flowers Sect’s signature Swordsmanship. As the sword moved, the Sword Shadows were elegant, like countless flower petals scattering in the wind.

"Hmph, all flash and no substance!" Jin Canghai sneered. He then gave a fierce wave of his large hand, gathering terrifying Spiritual Power in his palm. The next moment, he blasted it forward in a simple, unadorned strike.

It was like a giant golden seal smashing forward.

The golden palm slammed against the longsword, actually bending the blade. Its momentum undiminished, it continued on toward Guan Feng’s body.

Clearly, whether in terms of combat power or battle experience, Jin Canghai was far superior to Guan Feng, who only knew how to use flashy sword techniques to attract female disciples.

"What!?"

Guan Feng’s face went pale with shock. He never imagined his Swordsmanship would be so easily broken.

BOOM!

The next instant, Jin Canghai slammed his palm directly into Guan Feng’s chest, sending him flying backward, spitting blood, into the crowd.

"Senior Brother!"

Tang Ruoxue’s pretty face turned pale, and she rushed over to help Guan Feng up.

"Pfft!"

Guan Feng spat out another mouthful of blood, his face flushing red. He felt both humiliated and furious. The so-called number one genius of the Hundred Flowers Sect had been defeated in a single move. It was an utter disgrace.

Jin Canghai roared with laughter, turning to the ashen-faced members of the Tang Family. "Is this what the Tang Family is relying on? Sending a good-for-nothing to fight me? Are you looking down on me?"

The members of the Tang Family were all silent. They had thought Tang Ruoxue and Guan Feng could actually resolve this crisis, but they never expected them to be defeated so quickly.

The surrounding onlookers also broke into discussion. It seemed the Tang Family was really finished this time.

Jin Guiyun, however, looked toward Tang Ruoxue as she helped Guan Feng and cursed coldly, "Tang Ruoxue, you fucking bitch! It’s because of you that my big brother was killed by Yi Xiaoyao, and my legs were crippled! And now you’re throwing yourself into another man’s arms! After my father destroys the Tang Family, I’ll personally mount you and humiliate you properly!"

Hearing this, Tang Ruoxue’s slender brows shot up, and she seethed with rage.

But Guan Feng held her back, advising, "Junior Sister, don’t cause any more trouble. We should leave immediately."

"Senior Brother!" Tang Ruoxue cried out, utterly furious. Guan Feng’s defeat had already disappointed her greatly, and now he wanted her to endure this humiliation as well.

"Junior Sister! That Jin Canghai is too powerful. Even someone at the Golden Core Third Realm might not be his match. It’s perfectly normal for your Senior Brother to be defeated by him."

Guan Feng’s pride was clearly wounded, so he offered a forced explanation before adding, "Alright, let’s go, quickly!"

But just as the two of them were about to leave, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

From within the crowd, a shocking sound of something breaking the air suddenly rang out. An unsealed wine jug, half-full of liquor, shot toward Jin Guiyun with terrifying momentum.

Everyone gasped in unison. At a time like this, who would be so blind as to dare attack a member of the Jin Family? Weren’t they courting death?

"Yun’er! Dodge, quickly!"

Jin Canghai’s expression changed drastically as he yelled at Jin Guiyun.

He too had sensed the terrifying Spiritual Power contained within the wine jug, and an even more dangerous aura emanating from the wine itself. Even a powerhouse like him, at the Golden Core Second Realm, didn’t dare to underestimate it.

Jin Guiyun heard the warning, but it was already too late. The wine jug was simply too fast; there was no time to dodge.

PENG!

With the sound of tearing flesh and bone, Jin Guiyun’s head instantly exploded where the wine jug passed.

And yet, the wine jug didn’t shatter. Not a single drop of wine spilled out as it shot toward Jin Canghai behind him, its momentum undiminished!

Jin Canghai hadn’t even had time to process Jin Guiyun’s death before he hurriedly slapped a palm toward the wine jug with all his might.

BOOM!

The wine jug actually forced Jin Canghai back several dozen steps before it finally exploded with a bang.

But the next moment, as the jug shattered, countless strands of black, Destructive Sword Qi erupted from the spraying wine, instantly shredding the crowd of Jin Family members behind Jin Canghai into a bloody mist!
