Chapter 202: Revenge First Shot
Chapter 202: Revenge First Shot
Lin Anan watched the fierce fight between the two without blinking, feeling dizzy and mesmerized. Even though she had already heard Jiang Xincheng say with his own mouth that he was a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm, hearing about it couldn’t compare to seeing it with her own eyes.
Crashing trees, flying debris, and the sight of him tearing down walls with his bare hands—Lin Anan saw Jiang Xincheng’s terrifying destructive power for the first time. Suddenly, her heart was firmly tied to Jiang Xincheng.
A strong man naturally had the effect of winning over girls, especially in a hard-fought battle like this.
Ximen Changkong’s expression grew more and more serious. He no longer dared to look down on Jiang Xincheng in the slightest. If earlier in the fight, Jiang Xincheng had relied on the sharpness of the Mysterious Steel Sword to push him back step by step, then at this moment, what Jiang Xincheng displayed was absolute strength.
With the Primordial Force of the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm, plus his natural great strength, he was actually able to put Ximen Changkong, a peak mid-stage Cloud Condensation Realm Primordial Warrior, at a slight disadvantage. How powerful was that?
Moreover, Ximen Changkong clearly realized that Jiang Xincheng’s combat experience and the fist techniques he mastered were no worse than his own, and were even slightly better. If his own strength hadn’t reached the peak of the mid-stage Cloud Condensation Realm, relying on fists alone, Ximen Changkong would probably be at a disadvantage.
Thinking back a few months ago, Jiang Xincheng had his little brother broken by a single move from him. Yet, in just a few months, Jiang Xincheng had gained the strength to rival him, and was even a bit stronger.
Such a rapid improvement rate made even Ximen Changkong feel a sense of fear. With such talent and potential, and since he had offended him so deeply, if he didn’t kill him, he would surely become a major threat in the future.
With that thought, a cold light flashed in Ximen Changkong’s eyes. He had already decided that Jiang Xincheng must die. However, considering the trump cards he had, even if he used them all tonight, his hope of killing Jiang Xincheng was slim. If he provoked this guy into a rage, Jiang Xincheng might even pull out the Mysterious Steel Sword and fight him to the death.
In that case, continuing to fight was pointless. The best plan was to run away. Thinking this, Ximen Changkong acted decisively. He immediately used a killing move from the Eight Extremes Fist, forcing Jiang Xincheng back a few steps.
“Your strength is not bad, but you did the wrong thing. Since you dared to offend me, Ximen Changkong, be prepared to face the revenge of my Ximen Family,” Ximen Changkong threatened as he ran. “Not just you, but your family and your friends too, should be ready to bear the wrath of the Ximen Family.”
Jiang Xincheng took out the Tiger Roar and shot it at Ximen Changkong.
“Ow…!”
Ximen Changkong let out a miserable howl, clutched his buttocks, and ran even faster. “Jiang Xincheng, you’re vicious! I won’t let you go! You just wait!”
“Roar…!”
The sound of the Tiger Roar rang out again. Ximen Changkong screamed once more, and the other side of his buttocks turned charred black. If it weren’t for his Primordial Force protecting him, just these two Tiger Roar shots would have blown his buttocks off, killing him on the spot.
“Roar…!”
The Tiger Roar sounded a third time, hitting Ximen Changkong right in the chrysanthemum. Ximen Changkong let out an agonizing scream, as if he were singing: “Ow ow ow… ow ow ow… Jiang Xincheng, I’m going to kill your whole family!”
In his extreme pain, Ximen Changkong ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared into the wind and snow in an instant. Watching his retreating figure, a cold, sharp smile crossed Jiang Xincheng’s lips.
With his current strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to keep Ximen Changkong here. But what then? The Ximen Family would definitely not let it go. They would surely send many experts to hunt him down and his family. Given the Ximen Family’s current power, destroying Jiang Xincheng and his family would be as easy as him killing Ximen Changkong now.
So why would Jiang Xincheng do something so suicidal? That night, he didn’t kill that beast Ximen Changkong but let him go, only hitting him a few times with the Tiger Roar so he would spend the next while in the hospital.
However, Jiang Xincheng wouldn’t let Ximen Changkong off so easily. During their earlier hard-fought battle, Jiang Xincheng had used the collisions of their fists to send streams of his pure Primordial Force as hidden force into Ximen Changkong’s body.
For the next month, nothing would happen to Ximen Changkong. But after a month, all the Meridians in his body would start to shrink, as if he were poisoned.
It would be decades before any Primordial Warrior found a cure for this shrinkage. So once Ximen Changkong’s Meridians began to shrink, no one in the entire world could save him.
Once his Meridians started to shrink, Ximen Changkong would have to watch his strength decline day by day. When the shrinkage reached his Dantian, Ximen Changkong would become completely useless.
Making a Great Yuan Warrior who had cultivated to the Cloud Condensation Realm watch himself turn into a useless person day by day—this kind of pain was even worse than killing him. Jiang Xincheng wanted Ximen Changkong to experience all the suffering he had endured in his previous life, little by little, and then die in endless pain and despair.
Becoming useless was just the First Step. Next, Jiang Xincheng would slowly destroy the entire Ximen Family, shattering Ximen Changkong’s last reliance. Finally, after ruining the Ximen Family, Jiang Xincheng would cut off Ximen Changkong’s arms and legs, making him unable to even live as an ordinary person, until he died a miserable death.
Only by torturing and abusing Ximen Changkong like this could Jiang Xincheng make up for all the pain and sorrow he suffered in his previous life, and for the despair of his family being killed.
Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself. Jiang Xincheng would return all the sadness and suffering he experienced in his past life, bit by bit, to Ximen Changkong, letting him experience it all properly.
Watching the retreating Ximen Changkong, a deep hatred flashed in Jiang Xincheng’s eyes, but a faint smile appeared on his face. Having lived a second life, he could finally take his revenge.
“Heartfelt Brother, you’re amazing! Ximen Changkong is a top expert at the mid-stage Cloud Condensation Realm, and you actually beat him and made him run. You’re probably the number one at our Tianhai University now,” Lin Anan said with a laugh as she ran over and hugged Jiang Xincheng’s arm.
Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly and took Lin Anan’s small hand. “Let’s go, Sister Anan. We need to hide quickly. Call the experts who protect you. I’m afraid Ximen Changkong might come back with his men since he’s not willing to accept defeat. He has many experts around him, and we’re not a match for him yet.”
“Okay,” Lin Anan nodded. She went with Jiang Xincheng to a remote hotel nearby. On the way, she called the late-stage Cloud Condensation Realm Great Yuan Warriors from the 327 Research Institute who were responsible for protecting her, asking them to come to the hotel to guard her.
Looking at the wind and snow swirling in the sky, holding the hand of the girl beside him who was as beautiful as a painting, and thinking about how he had just tricked Ximen Changkong badly, a bright smile spread across Jiang Xincheng’s face.
A time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves; I’ll set my cloud-white sail and cross the sea which raves. Having lived a second life, all that sadness and pain, regret and remorse, were gradually leaving him.
