C442 – The Power of One Punch It’s over
Jiang Xuance knew that without shedding some blood today, he wouldn’t be walking away.
Ultimately, he weighed his options and chose the lesser of two evils.
With a grimace, Jiang Xuance stepped back, steadying himself.
“Senior, I welcome your guidance!”
As a representative of the Jiang Family, one of the five illustrious Seclusion Families, Jiang Xuance was a prodigy among prodigies.
His arrogance was evident from the outset.
Even though he was aware he couldn’t best Jiang Hao, he refused to believe he couldn’t take at least one hit from him!
Energy surged through Jiang Xuance’s body as he fortified himself, eyes locked on Jiang Hao, bracing for the impending strike.
?Jiang Hao, acknowledging his readiness, simply said, “I respect your decision.”
A soft golden glow emanated from Jiang Hao’s hand before he casually launched a punch toward the poised Jiang Xuance.
To onlookers, the punch seemed effortless, but Jiang Xuance tensed up, his expression grave.
In that instant, he felt inescapably targeted, with no room to dodge or flee.
They say in the blink of an eye, but it was more like lightning.
Realizing he couldn’t evade, Jiang Xuance steeled himself.
“If I can’t dodge, I’ll have to withstand it!”
In a flash, he crossed his arms protectively in front of him, a faint green light radiating from his body.
Then, Jiang Hao’s punch connected.
“Thud!”
Jiang Xuance’s face turned a shade of crimson, and a metallic taste filled his mouth.
A tremendous force sent him reeling, his steps faltering.
He staggered back several paces before bracing his right foot against the leg of a table to steady himself.
“Spit!”
A mouthful of clotted blood was expelled, and Jiang Xuance felt a measure of relief.
Looking at Jiang Hao with a flicker of surprise in his eyes, he bowed slightly and said with reverence, “Thank you, senior, for your restraint.”
?Hearing the gratitude, Jiang Hao didn’t spare Jiang Xuance another glance, instead turning his attention to Soong Wan and the others.
“Let’s get moving!”
With those words, he took Soong Wan by the hand and made a beeline for the door.
Behind them, a dazed Wei Mengyue, Yang Xiaoxiao, and the rest snapped to attention. They quickly helped Li Xiao Yu to her feet and followed suit.
Zhang Daoqian, who had remained quiet throughout, cast a fleeting, enigmatic glance at Jiang Xuance before departing as well.
The dormitory social had been thrown into disarray, leaving Jiang Hao with no reason to linger.
Once they descended from the building, Yang Xiaoxiao settled the bill, and the group set off for the school by car.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao’s departure left Jiang Xuance with a trace of bitterness etched on his face.
He stumbled over to a nearby sofa and slumped down, then pulled out his phone to send an SOS.
Jiang Hao’s punch had been pulled, yet it still managed to dislocate both of Xuance’s arms and scatter the Genuine Qi within him.
He could kiss any thoughts of combat goodbye for the next few days.
Indeed, Jiang Hao had exercised restraint.
Otherwise, despite Jiang Xuance’s peculiar cultivation level, Jiang Hao was certain he could have inflicted serious harm with a single blow.
Because of Jiang Hao’s leniency, all Jiang Xuance suffered was a mouthful of blood and a scattering of his Genuine Qi, rendering him unable to engage in martial arts for three days.
?The reasons for Jiang Hao’s mercy were multifaceted.
Jiang Xuance’s timely grasp of the situation was just one factor.
Another was Jiang Hao’s reluctance to engage in an all-out battle with the reclusive Jiang Family at this juncture.
Crippling Jiang Xuance would surely provoke the Jiang Family into relentless pursuit.
With the Nether King’s Hall issue still unresolved, clashing with the Jiang Family would be ill-advised.
Ultimately, Jiang Hao simply wasn’t powerful enough to flout the rules with impunity.
A heavy silence fell over the occupants of the car, the air heavy with unspoken tension.
