Chapter 220: When the Expert Strikes

The big, burly man’s words made everyone in the First Class Cabin frown. However, sensing the man’s powerful strength at the Bone Forging Initial Stage, no one dared to stop him.

At this moment, aside from Jiang Xincheng, the strongest person in the First Class Cabin was only at the peak of the Tendon Training Realm. This was a full major realm lower than the big, burly man’s cultivation. If they fought, that person would likely be defeated in a single move. Who would dare to intervene?

Jiang Xincheng had no intention of stopping them either. Neither of the two was a good person—the woman was extremely promiscuous, and the man was overbearing and arrogant. They were a perfect match for each other. Whatever they did was their business, as long as it didn’t interfere with his cultivation.

So, paying no attention to what was happening around him, Jiang Xincheng continued to lie on the sofa, quietly cultivating. He felt his strength gradually improving and a faint smile crossed his face.

Seeing that no one stood up for her, the seductive woman felt as if life was worse than death at the thought of having to do such things with this hideous and disgusting man in front of everyone. “I… I’m not that kind of woman. Please let me go. I don’t want your money,” she said.

“Not that kind of woman?” The big, burly man glared at her. “You let others have you for free, but not me when I’m paying? Are you looking down on me? Do you think I’m ugly? If that’s the case, I’ll kill you right now.”

Seeing the man’s fierce expression, the seductive woman trembled and quickly shook her head. “No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

“Then what did you mean?” the man snarled. “Stop wasting my time. I’ll give you two choices: either do it or refuse. If you agree, come over now. If not, I’ll kill you as soon as we get off the plane.”

“I’ll do it,” the seductive woman said, shivering as she saw the man growing impatient. Not daring to refuse again, she reluctantly walked over to him.

The big, burly man wrapped an arm around her slender waist and said smugly, “Women like you just ask for trouble. You only behave when I threaten you. Next time you pull this, I’ll finish you off. By the way, my name is Cui Zhan. What’s your name?”

“My name is Liu Jie,” the seductive woman replied cautiously. She glanced at the other passengers, feeling embarrassed as she nestled into the big, burly man’s arms. Turning her head, she inadvertently noticed the handsome young man next to her still resting with his eyes closed. An inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

Ever since she boarded the plane, the men around her couldn’t help but stare. Even the celebrity An Hao, who had rejected her, had glanced at her several times. But this guy? He just lay there pretending to be asleep, not even looking at her once.

She was, after all, a beautiful woman who could easily score an 80 or 90 out of 100. Was he not even a man? He hadn’t even glanced her way, acting all high and mighty. Even now, with all this commotion, he still ignored her, pretending to be above it all. It was irritating.

For some reason, Liu Jie suddenly found Jiang Xincheng, who was sitting beside her, particularly annoying. Especially when she was being forced into this situation, other men hadn’t stood up for her, and this guy was pretending to be oblivious, not even daring to make a sound.

He was clearly a coward, yet he acted all dignified. And if that bear-like man ended up having his way with her later, this fool beside her would have the clearest view of it all. The thought made her even angrier.

Somehow, Liu Jie directed all her pent-up rage at Jiang Xincheng. Maybe it was because he hadn’t given her a second glance since boarding the plane, making her feel worthless. Or maybe it was because he was the closest man to her, yet he hadn’t lifted a finger to help her in this situation.

Perhaps she just didn’t want this hypocritical man to have the chance to watch, and she also wanted to free up some space for more… challenging positions.

So, in a sugary voice, Liu Jie looked at the big, burly man and said, “Brother Cui, could you please get this loser next to us to move? I don’t want him so close. Besides, if he leaves, we’ll have more room, and I can try some more difficult moves for you.”

“Haha, good point,” Cui Zhan said, glaring at Jiang Xincheng. “Hey, kid, you heard her. Stop pretending to sleep. You know what to do.”

Jiang Xincheng opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Jie and Cui Zhan who were smirking at him, and without a word, moved toward the big, burly man’s seat, not wanting to bother with these two lowlifes.

Seeing Jiang Xincheng obediently leave, Cui Zhan burst into laughter, clearly pleased with himself. Liu Jie also looked triumphant, her expression full of scorn. “Trash. Useless coward. I wonder what kind of parents raised a waste like you. Like father, like son.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Liu Jie felt a sudden chill. The silently retreating Jiang Xincheng abruptly turned around and stared coldly at her, his gaze sharp and icy. “If you don’t seek death, you won’t die. You really are asking for it.”

With those cold words, Jiang Xincheng flicked his right hand, and a burst of Primordial Force shot out, slapping Liu Jie hard across the face.

“Smack!”

With a sharp sound, Liu Jie was sent flying by Jiang Xincheng’s slap. She crashed hard against the plane’s wall, bounced back, and fell to the floor, writhing in pain and unable to even scream.

“Cloud Condensation Realm… a Great Yuan Warrior!”

Cui Zhan shot to his feet, staring at Jiang Xincheng in terror, his body trembling slightly.

More than half of the passengers in the First Class Cabin also stood up, staring at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief. They never expected this seemingly ordinary young man, whom Cui Zhan had so easily dismissed, to possess such terrifying skill.

To injure someone from a distance, to release Primordial Force externally—who else but a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm could achieve such a feat?

In this era of Primordial Force enlightenment, a Great Yuan Warrior in the Cloud Condensation Realm was synonymous with power. Their status and position were comparable to the highest-ranking officials in a city. It was easy to imagine the level of respect and authority such a Great Yuan Warrior commanded.

In the Old Era, a Cloud Condensation Realm Great Yuan Warrior was equivalent to a city mayor—or even more formidable. After all, a mayor’s power required others to carry it out and could sometimes be undermined.

But if a Cloud Condensation Realm Great Yuan Warrior wanted to accomplish something within a city, almost no one could stand in their way. They were the Overlord of their domain—at least in ordinary cities, though not in metropolises like Tianhai City.

Even so, the status and prestige of a Cloud Condensation Realm Great Yuan Warrior had already reached a level that ordinary people could only look up to. To suddenly discover that there was such a Great Yuan Warrior in the First Class Cabin—how could anyone not be astonished?
