C440 – Old Dog Where Did You Get the Confidence From?
Jiang Hao cast a disdainful glance at the young man and the middle-aged man, his voice laced with contempt. “Well, how would you prefer to meet your end?”
At Jiang Hao’s chilling question, the two men’s faces contorted with dread. The middle-aged man, however, tried to mask his fear with arrogance as he retorted, “Listen, kid, don’t get ahead of yourself just because you’re a martial cultivator! Remember, there’s always a bigger fish, a higher sky! Kneel down now and beg our young master for forgiveness, or you’ll regret it!”
Jiang Hao eyed the presumptuous middle-aged man, wondering where he found such misplaced bravado. “Me, apologize to you? Old fool, what makes you think you have the right to demand that? Is it your insignificant martial prowess?”
The middle-aged man’s face twisted with anger at Jiang Hao’s words. He glared, trying to intimidate, but he couldn’t gauge the depth of Jiang Hao’s true strength. “You lack reverence, young man,” he scolded.
?Without warning, the middle-aged man materialized before Jiang Hao, his hand morphing into a talon bathed in golden light, reaching for Jiang Hao’s head. Wei Mengyue, witnessing the scene, turned deathly pale and cried out in alarm, “Be careful!”
To onlookers, the middle-aged man’s hand seemed to transform into a claw of steel, gleaming with a cold, metallic edge, its power seemingly capable of crushing stone and splitting jade, instilling a bone-chilling terror.
But as he sneered maliciously, the expected sensation of crushing Jiang Hao’s skull did not come. Instead, a peculiar voice echoed by his ear, “Old dog, keep your filthy paws to yourself!”
In the midst of his shock, the middle-aged man realized in horror that his arm had somehow become detached from his body. A searing agony followed, too intense to endure.
With a blood-curdling scream, he was caught off guard by a kick from behind, caving in his chest with a brutal force. Blood spurted from his mouth, trailing through the air like a gruesome streamer, and his body was sent hurtling backward.
“Crash!”
A thunderous collision echoed through the air as a distant wall, an innocent victim, was struck once more, leaving a person-shaped hole in its wake.
Silence fell like a shroud over the area.
All eyes turned to Jiang Hao, wide with astonishment.
In that instant, the young man’s face contorted with shock.
“A Fourth Grade guard taken down in a single blow by him!”
“I doubt even I could achieve that!”
“He’s inscrutable!”
His gaze shifted from the damaged wall back to Jiang Hao, his eyes brimming with a mix of deep wariness and regret.
He had never imagined that on his very first day out in the world, a trivial incident would draw such a formidable foe.
“How would you prefer to meet your end?”
Jiang Hao’s words cut through the silence, landing squarely on the posturing young man.
Feeling Jiang Hao’s intense stare, the young man felt a jolt of anxiety.
“I am Jiang Xuance, a member of the Jiang Family from the Seclusion Families. I admit my mistake today and am ready to offer an apology and compensation.”
Recognizing he was outmatched, he wisely chose not to charge headlong into certain doom.
Jiang Hao raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had suspected the man belonged to a significant power.
With the recent resurgence of the Earth’s spiritual Qi, commanding a Fourth Grade guard was no small feat.
Yet, it was unexpected that he was from the Jiang Family, one of the five major hidden clans.
And the role he claimed to hold as an external representative likely meant he held considerable status.
But Jiang Hao, who had dared to slay the hall master of the Nether King’s Hall, had little to fear.
‘I do not provoke others, and I expect the same courtesy in return.’
