MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter

Chapter 631: Dramatic Moment

Despite having only reached the Abyssal Realm for a short time, his power was not half-baked.

As he had stabilized his power at Abyssal Realm, the amount of chi within the chi crystal in his body had far surpassed Xuanyuan Hongji and others’ by several folds.

That was why he was able to seriously injure the group of them.

Especially Xuanyuan Hongji. He had absorbed the most force and was the one that had sustained the most serious injuries.

Especially that punch. It had caused his hair to turn white, and the skin on his face to be full of wrinkles.

It was mainly because the chi within his body had been damaged to the point where it could no longer maintain his health. If he was not treated soon, he might even die today.

As soon as an ancient martial artist had reached the stage of a Grandmaster, their lives would be extended. The more powerful the chi in their body, the longer they could live.

Of course, if the chi within their body had begun to slip away, so would their health.

When Xuanyuan Hongji saw that Jiang Feng was walking toward him, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and then yelled out to the hall at Diwang Gate, “Cough… Great Ancestor, save… me!”

As soon as he had finished saying that, a super-powerful aura began to spread out from Diwang Gate.

The aura was even more powerful than Jiang Feng’s. It seemed that the owner of the aura was much more powerful than Jiang Feng.

“Here he comes!” Jiang Feng frowned as he looked at the Diwang Gate.

Boom!

At this time, the gate leading into the great hall of Diwang Gate fell, and a one-eyed old man slowly walked out from within.

“Great Ancestor!”

When the members of the Diwang Gate saw the old man, they all knelt down on one knee, welcoming their Great Ancestor.

The one-eyed old man looked much younger than even Xuanyuan Hongji.

But Jiang Feng knew that this was just his outward appearance. Looking at how respectful Xuanyuan Hongji was, he knew that this old man was at least Xuanyuan Hongji’s great grandfather. He must have been alive for several generations now, and he was still wearing an ancient outfit.

The one-eyed old man quickly approached Xuanyuan Hongji and helped him stabilize his injuries as soon as he got to him as he asked Jiang Feng, “Boy, why are you harming those from my Diwang Gate?”

“You should not ask me this question, you should ask your good descendants,” Jiang Feng said to the one-eyed old man with a faint smile.

“Regardless of the cause, you must leave something behind for harassing my descendants!” Said the old man as he slammed his palm toward Jiang Feng.

When Jiang Feng saw that, he quickly activated his Chi Shield and launched two fists toward him at the same time.

Boom!

The two chis crashed into each other and there was a sonic boom. Many of them were pushed away because of the sonic boom. Their bodies were flung aside, and some of them were even severely injured.

As for Qingqiu, he was still sitting cross-legged behind Jiang Feng silently.

That was because most of the remaining force was negated by Jiang Feng.

“Heroes are born of youth! Despite your age, you are already very powerful!” When the one-eyed old man saw that Jiang Feng was able to block his attack, he was slightly dumbfounded. His eyes even showed some kind of acknowledgement. He then stomped on the floor with both his legs and then appeared in front of Jiang Feng very quickly.

Jiang Feng did not dodge, and instead, let his chi flow within his body as he swung his fists quickly to clash with the one-eyed old man’s palm strikes.

Only those at the Grandmaster Greater Completion level could slightly see what was happening. Those who were at Grandmaster Lesser Completion level or peak Grandmasters could not even see what was happening between those two. They could only see the two of them standing there.

Despite that, they suddenly realized that they could see the two of them fight through the reflection of their eyes despite not being able to see them fight physically. It was quite a wonderful phenomenon.

The two of them fought for quite a long time. After a dozen minutes, both of them trembled as they pulled away from each other to create some distance, with blood at the edges of their mouths.

Jiang Feng wiped the blood on his mouth and then said to the one-eyed old man, “Senior, stop. You don’t want to kill me. If we continue like this, the chi within your body will only get weaker and weaker!”

During that fight, Jiang Feng was at a disadvantage and was quickly injured at the beginning.

Luckily, the one-eyed old man did not intend to kill him, or he would have been severely injured.

As he continued to fight, he realized that the one-eyed old man’s chi was getting weaker and weaker, and his attacks were also getting lighter.

His guess was that for the one-eyed old man to be able to live until this age, he must have sealed the chi crystal and used it very sparingly. Only then was he able to use it to achieve such longevity.

But if he used chi or too much chi, his life would begin to slip away.

If they continued to fight, Jiang Feng would be severely injured at most. But the one-eyed old man would become like Xuanyuan Hongji and quickly age as his life escaped his grasp.

“Hahaha!” The one-eyed old man laughed after he stopped. “Originally, I did want to kill you. But when I fought with you, I noticed that there is a string of the Chi of Xuanyuan within your body. That means that you are also a descendant of the Xuanyuan family. Since you are part of the Xuanyuan family, you are also my descendant! Why should I kill you then?”

Xuanyuan Minro was a trueborn daughter of the Xuanyuan family. In that case, he could be considered as a descendant of the Xuanyuan family.

If it were not because the Xuanyuan family was so cruel to his parents, his relationship with the Xuanyuan family would not have ended up like this.

“True, the Xuanyuan family’s blood does flow within my veins. But because of what the Xuanyuan family did to my parents, I have already cut off my ties with them!” Jiang Feng said to the one-eyed old man coldly.

“Ahaha! Which great family and faction do not have such power struggles? I have seen plenty of this for the past 400 years! As long as the blood of the Xuanyuan family flows within your veins, none of this matters. In fact, I can even have them transfer the post of Patriarch to you!”

When the one-eyed old man knew that Jiang Feng was a descendant of the Xuanyuan family, not only did he no longer have any murderous intent, he seemed to be quite happy with how Jiang Feng turned out to be.

“Great Ancestor…” When Xuanyuan Hongji heard what the one-eyed old man said, his eyebrows were locked together.

“Silence! I do not want to hear anything from you. I only know that this young man from the Xuanyuan family has the ability to bear our family’s cross on his shoulders! I will not punish you, but go and inform the current patriarch of the Xuanyuan family to transfer the post of Patriarch to this boy. Tell him that this is my command,” The one-eyed old man then continued saying, “If he does not submit, then I shall make my return!”

Once Xuanyuan Hongji heard the one-eyed old man’s words, he regretted his action of calling him for help. He was not helping him, he was stabbing him from the back.

If Jiang Feng were to become the Xuanyuan family’s patriarch, he would no doubt deal with them.

When Jiang Feng heard the one-eyed old man’s words, he was stunned at such a dramatic turn of events.

He never expected that once the one-eyed old man knew that he was a descendant of the Xuanyuan family, he would stand on his side. He was not sure how he should react to all this.

But he understood why after giving it a thought.

According to the ancient traditions, the families would always be controlled by those with power and potential, regardless of whether this person had caused any damage previously. As long as they could lead the family into glory and prosperity, the losses were minuscule in comparison.

‘Heh, with the one-eyed old man’s help, should I or should I not be the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan family?’ Jiang Feng thought to himself with a little smile.
