Chapter 238: Rescue Through Massacre

Jiang Xincheng looked at the small villa nestled at the foot of Shimen Mountain and thought about the tragic events happening inside. He let out a long sigh. It was unfortunate that he hadn’t known about this in his previous life. He had only investigated it in recent days. Otherwise, he could have saved the Yu family. However, it wasn’t too late now.

He waited for over an hour until the sky darkened. Then, Jiang Xincheng used the Dragon Concealment Art. He became like a shadow and crept toward the small villa.

As Jiang Xincheng had cultivated the Dragon Concealment Art to its peak and perfect state, once he used it, his entire body turned into a gray-black shadow. He hid in dark corners and was very hard to detect. Even if he got close to other Practitioners, they would find it difficult to notice him.

With the Dragon Concealment Art active, Jiang Xincheng quickly sneaked close to the small villa. He extended his powerful Spiritual Sense, which was at the General Realm late stage, and covered the entire villa. Immediately, he sensed everything happening inside.

In the villa’s main hall, a group of men were bullying a mother and daughter pair. If nothing was wrong, this mother and daughter were Wang Mei and Yu Wenwen. In the corner of the hall lay Yu He, whose limbs were all broken. He was forced to watch his wife and daughter being humiliated. In pain, he turned his head away and kept cursing.

Seeing such a human tragedy, Jiang Xincheng’s eyes burned with fury. He carefully sensed and found that the man on top of Yu Wenwen was Ximen Hong, the strongest expert sent by Ximen Changkong to guard Shimen Mountain. Besides him, there were two other minor experts at the Bone Tempering Late Stage peak.

As for the others, they were probably from the prospecting team. Their strengths ranged from the Muscle Training Realm to the Tendon Training Realm. None exceeded the Bone Training Realm.

After confirming their strengths, Jiang Xincheng didn’t hesitate anymore. Using the Dragon Concealment Art, he silently moved above the villa, right above Ximen Hong, the strongest expert.

A cold light flickered in Jiang Xincheng’s eyes. He channeled his Devouring Primordial Force to the extreme. It silently spread along the wall under his feet toward the area below Ximen Hong. It formed twenty-seven Bamboo Segment Sword Qi, like spikes emerging slowly from the ground.

Around the twenty-seven Bamboo Segment Sword Qi, there were also twenty-seven Bamboo Leaf Sword Qi. They were sharp and extremely lethal. After days of hard training, Jiang Xincheng had finally cultivated the Bamboo Forest Sword Art to a minor achievement stage. He could instantly release twenty-seven Bamboo Segment Sword Qi and twenty-seven Bamboo Leaf Sword Qi at the same time. The power was very strong and hard to defend against. Its attack power had surpassed the Butterfly Sword Art and became Jiang Xincheng’s main combat sword technique.

At a certain moment, a cold light flashed across Jiang Xincheng’s face. The twenty-seven Bamboo Segment Sword Qi and twenty-seven Bamboo Leaf Sword Qi leaped out simultaneously. They shot toward Ximen Hong, who was on top of Yu Wenwen.

Busy enjoying himself, Ximen Hong never expected someone to ambush him at this moment. Jiang Xincheng’s Dragon Concealment Art was extremely powerful, and with the help of his General Realm late stage Spiritual Sense, Jiang Xincheng could perfectly conceal these fifty-four Sword Qi. It wasn’t until these Sword Qi emerged from the ground that Ximen Hong noticed them.

But by then, it was too late. Ximen Hong roared angrily. Layers of Primordial Force appeared on his body surface as he tried to block the Sword Qi. Unfortunately, because it was too rushed, this Primordial Force wasn’t stable. Jiang Xincheng, whose Spiritual Sense was at the General Realm late stage, easily found its weak points. He controlled the Bamboo Segment Sword Qi and Bamboo Leaf Sword Qi to swarm in and pierce into Ximen Hong’s body. They severely wounded him and broke through Ximen Hong’s defense.

Then, another fifty-four Sword Qi rose out of nowhere. They pierced through Ximen Hong’s body, riddling him with bloody holes. He died on the spot.

Though this sounds slow, it actually happened within just a few breaths. A Great Yuan Warrior at the Cloud Condensation Realm late stage, two minor realms higher than Jiang Xincheng, was killed by Jiang Xincheng so neatly. This showed Jiang Xincheng’s current strength.

Actually, even without using this ambush method, in a one-on-one frontal fight, Jiang Xincheng could still defeat Ximen Hong within a hundred rounds. However, that might harm the Yu family members. So, Jiang Xincheng chose the ambush method. Moreover, this way was much more convenient.

The reason Ximen Hong was killed so easily was partly because he was busy with that activity, his vigilance was low, and he didn’t expect anyone to ambush him, or to ambush someone from the Ximen Family. As a result, Jiang Xincheng killed him effortlessly.

After killing Ximen Hong, Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense fluctuated, and his Primordial Force circulated. Another fifty-four Sword Qi appeared out of thin air. They shot out like a sword rain, sweeping through the entire hall.

“Aaaaaaaaaah……”

After a series of screams, over ten people from the Ximen Family were all killed by Jiang Xincheng. Blood flowed like a river, and the ground was covered with corpses. Only then did Jiang Xincheng come down from the second floor and appear in the hall.

He glanced at the disbelieving three members of the Yu family and turned away. “Clean up properly. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Half an hour later, Jiang Xincheng heard a “thud” sound behind him. He turned to look and saw Wang Mei and Yu Wenwen, the mother and daughter pair, kneeling on the ground together. Not far away, Yu He sat at the hall entrance with a dull expression. He stared fixedly at the corpses in the hall, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. But the smile was ghostly and pitiful beyond words.

“Thank you for saving us and avenging us,” Wang Mei said tearfully. Yu Wenwen cried, unable to speak.

Jiang Xincheng quickly helped them up. “I also have a grudge against the Ximen Family. This was just a small effort for me. Besides, I had other purposes too.”

“Are you Jiang Xincheng from Tongle Town?” Suddenly, Yu Wenwen asked through tears.

Jiang Xincheng was startled, then smiled. “Yes, that’s me. How do you know me?”

“I attended Diannan High School and graduated with you. But back then, you were the top student from our school who got into Tianhai University and gave a speech. My grades weren’t good, and I didn’t get into the university I wanted, so I repeated a year,” Yu Wenwen said.

Only then did Jiang Xincheng realize that he and Yu Wenwen had been in the same school. But looking at the girl’s current miserable state, Jiang Xincheng felt quite sad. He comforted her, “Everything is in the past now. Forget these things and live well from now on. This little setback is nothing.”

Yu Wenwen gave a bitter smile but didn’t speak. After a moment of silence, she asked, “Did you come here for the Yuan Crystal Mine at Shimen Mountain too?”

“Mainly for this Yuan Crystal Mine, but also to kill these people from the Ximen Family and rescue your family,” Jiang Xincheng didn’t lie and answered seriously. “For the contract rights to this Shimen Mountain, I can offer thirty million Credit Points to buy it.”

“Thirty million Credit Points. Heh, that’s really good. At least it’s much better than what the Ximen Family offered. They weren’t willing to pay a single cent.” Upon hearing that Jiang Xincheng wanted to use thirty million Credit Points to buy Shimen Mountain, which hid a Yuan Crystal Mine, Yu Wenwen laughed coldly.
