From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 266: Chapter 361: Not Enough of a Show of Strength_1

"Jiang Ling!?"

"Wasn't she severely injured at Linglong Bay half a month ago? How could she appear here!"

"And her strength seems to have increased more than just a little compared to the past! Just now, Brother Fang was paralyzed by her with a single move!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard what the Wang Family Patriarch had said, their True Qi circulating even more cautiously around their bodies, none daring to attack rashly.

After all, Jiang Ling was a murderer who killed without blinking an eye!

Jiang Ling still stood in place, not starting a fight with these people right away, because Mu Huanqing would likely still need quite some time to give birth, and if she fought too long and consumed too much True Qi, the barrier protecting Mu Huanqing might inevitably be broken.

Although her identity was recognized, she was not too surprised by it, after all, there were very few people in this world who possessed the same True Qi as her, and in addition to her Spirit Form being the Black Knife, anyone could have guessed it.

However, she did not plan to reveal her face. Now that she had finally become much younger, and most people could not recognize her youthful appearance, in order to move freely in small cities in the future, it was necessary to keep her face hidden with her aura at this moment.

"You uncles sure have grown old quickly, almost time for great-grandchildren, huh?" Since she had chosen to delay, Jiang Ling certainly wanted to chat more with them.

"Jiang Ling! You even dare to come here, aren't you afraid of being executed by the Central Area?" Wang Family Patriarch frowned and said.

All the Family Heads gathered here had been called uncles by Jiang Ling in front of the Number Twenty-Two, back when Jiang Ling's Cultivational Talent was as exceptional as Mu Huanqing's in this era.

However, in her twenties, she was coerced by the Central Area, then subjected to a series of brutal treatments, and finally, she went insane, killed too many in the Central Area, not even sparing innocent civilians. On that crazy night, nearly a hundred thousand people died in Tianjiang, sixty thousand of whom were innocent commoners.

These incidents were unknown to outsiders, but every Family Head in Tianjiang was clear about them.

Because of Jiang Ling's past, the Central Area still insisted on the marriage system for cultivators, but they did not force Mu Huanqing to marry Song Mobei when she was in her twenties, fearing that she might become the next Jiang Ling.

If that happened, the Central Area could still imprison Mu Huanqing, but the Human camp would suffer greatly. Nevertheless, the Central Area remained persistent about the Cultivation Genes of Mu Huanqing and Song Mobei.

"Executed?" Jiang Ling laughed: "In this world, aside from Madame Xuan of the Nine Heavens Corps, I don't even take the entire Tianjiang seriously! If you disagree, then come and try?"

If these Family Heads still dared to fight, it meant that her recent demonstration of power was not effective enough, and more people needed to be beaten to deter them and buy more time.

Cao Family Patriarch spoke with a chilly gaze: "Jiang Ling, although I feel deeply pained by what you went through, the crimes you committed far exceed your suffering and are even more detestable. Even if you are now very powerful, our Tianjiang will still make you pay for what you did back then!"

When Jiang Ling heard the other party bring up her past, a surge of anger suddenly welled up in her heart, and she coldly said: "Cao Family Patriarch, since it didn't happen to you, you really have no place to talk!"

"I am merely stating facts! No matter how much you hate, you cannot involve innocent people in your revenge!" the Cao Family Patriarch frowned and said.

"Innocent people?" Jiang Ling laughed: "Which one of those people was innocent back then! All they did was believe the lies from your Central Area and insult me relentlessly with rumors. They deserved death!"

"Just because they insulted you, you think you can take their lives!" exclaimed the Wang Family Patriarch angrily.

"If you have the guts, go through what I did! And then stay calm and humane while standing among those who twist the truth!"

Suddenly, the True Qi around Jiang Ling surged once more, and the group of Family Heads around her felt a terrifying presence. The Wang family and Cao family Patriarchs did not dare to say more, fearful that she might suddenly charge at them, risking everything.

"Where is Lady Xuan? Didn't she just land here?" the Cao Family Patriarch frowned and asked a female soldier of the Nine Heavens Corps behind him.

The female soldier also replied anxiously, "Madame Xuan seems to have some urgent matter and for the moment, we don't know where she has gone."

"Damn it!" the Liu Family Head clenched his teeth. "How are we supposed to deal with this crazy woman now?"

"When will the people from the Central Area arrive?"

"With the disturbance at the Second Void Cave, most generals in the Central Area are fighting the Void beasts; only seven generals managed to arrive first!"

"Seven... is that enough? We don't even know how strong this crazy woman truly is, she effortlessly defeated Fang Yuanhao, and even with seven more in the Xuanyang realm mid-stage, we might not be sure to kill her."

...

While everyone was talking, Jiang Ling, who was standing on the rooftop, suddenly moved. She vanished like a ghost, causing everyone's faces to show fear as they concentrated on their defenses.

Yet, in just a moment, her figure had already appeared in front of the Wang Family Patriarch.

"Damn it!"

The Wang Family Patriarch gritted his teeth and violently pushed the Earth Attribute True Qi within his body. In an instant, the ground erupted with spikes, continuously striking towards Jiang Ling in front of him.

Jiang Ling turned the Black Knife in her hand, and a black barrier appeared before her. The ground spikes kept crashing against the barrier, getting crushed by it.

The Wang Family Patriarch's attack didn't pause for a second; he kept slapping out True Qi from his hands, the surrounding family heads immediately rushed up to help, and the Nine Heavens Corps also formed an encirclement. Tiandao Sword Sect's Song Mobei and others wielded their Sword Qi even more fiercely…

For a moment, countless waves of True Qi bombarded the black barrier surrounding Jiang Ling. Seeing this, Jiang Ling didn't bother to defend any more; what she wanted was a final show of force to buy time for Mu Huanqing, not a fight to the death with this group.

Buzz!

As Jiang Ling gave up her defense, her Dark Attribute True Qi directly hit the Wang Family Patriarch's chest. She didn't linger; a wave of Sword Qi followed, cutting into the Wang Family Patriarch's arm.

Boom!

The Wang Family Patriarch was sent crashing into the ground, surrounding houses collapsed, trees were destroyed, and even the hotel where Fang Ren was staying had only a black sphere left, protected by Jiang Ling.

"Cough!"

The Wang Family Patriarch lay on the ground, his old eyes wide open; he had finally understood why Fang Yuanhao had fallen without withstanding a single blow!

"Xuanye... Xuanye realm!"

Clenching his teeth, he shouted and then lay in the crater, much like Fang Yuanhao had before.

Seeing this, everyone's expression around turned fierce. This crazy woman had actually managed to seriously injure the Wang Family Patriarch, despite their combined assault!

And what the Wang Family Patriarch had just said — she was of the Xuanye realm!
