Chapter 154
Jiangnan's Mr. Jiang. Jin Xi was scared shitless this time. Cold sweat drenched his entire body. He knew what kind of existence Mr. Jiang was as the fame behind this name was built upon the corpses of people.
"H-How can you be Mr. Jiang?"
Jin Xi's voice lost all his strength. He even stuttered while speaking and didn't dare to look straight at Jiang Xiu.
He hadn't cared much about Jiang Xiu, and his father was also only a secretary of a county city. They weren't nothing but tiny bugs in front of the Jin family, but Mr. Jiang, this person was a truly ruthless character. According to the rumors, all the people of Jiangnan's underworld quiver in fear due to this person's deeds. He was someone on the same level as Jiangnan's border region's Gu Dezhi, the millionaire Ma Yingqiu and others like them. The younger generation simply wasn't qualified to talk on equal terms with them.
He flaunted his status as a young master, but many young masters fail to succeed on the path to becoming an ambitious and ruthless character. Even if he matured another 20 years, he would still need to rely on the right time, place and occasion to reach the level Mr. Jiang was at right now. Let alone, becoming someone like Mr. Jiang was his lifelong goal at the moment.
Jiang Xiu looked at him apathetically, "Since you know who I am, you must also know how the people who offend me end up."
Jin Xi's expression turned ugly. He heard that this man had thrown the family head of the Wang family, Wang Xuehai, off a helicopter to his death personally.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm a child of the Jin family. Please spare my life for the sake of my family's face."
"My Jin family has the Imperial Capital's Jiang family behind us!"
"Can you forgive me?"
"Spare you?" You can ask Yan Zhen whether those who have offended me are alive or not."
Cold sweat formed on Yan Zhen's forehead while his face went pale.
"N-None are alive…"
He had never seen someone as determined and ruthless as Jiang Xiu. Even his senior official had that he had never seen someone with that kind of cultivation and ruthlessness.
"I'm from the main branch of the Jin family. If Mr. Jiang acts against me today, you'll start a feud with the Jin family."
"It's better to have another friend than a foe."
"So, you do understand this principle. I thought you didn't. Since you understand this, why didn't you let me join the exploration team? Though the university had consented to it, why did you want to kick me out of the team?"
"Why did you even bring a group of men to hit me?"
Jin Xi sweated profusely at this moment.
"Your actions don't seem friendly at all. Is this how you make friends? If I was just an ordinary person, I wonder how I would've ended up? With a broken hand? Or a broken leg?"
Jin Xi was left speechless. If Jiang Xiu weren't Mr. Jiang, he would have played with him as much as possible.
"That's why…"
Jiang Xiu waved his hand and released an energy pulse. Jin Xi's two legs got crushed in a moment, making him fall to the ground while screaming mournfully.
"AAAAAHHHHHH… MY LEGS!!"
He went silent after screaming that as he felt light-headed due to the pain. He couldn't muster up any strength to shout and could only whimper like a dog.
"Throw him out…"
"Understood, Mr. Jiang."
After Jin Xi got thrown out of the hotel, someone carried him to the hospital as those two broken legs needed treatment as soon as possible. In the past, if legs were broken in such a way, it was of no use to take the person to the doctor, and the person would end up as a handicapped person. There we no chances of recovery and they would be deformed forever, but now, science had developed a lot. It was possible to walk normally after the surgery, and there was even a chance of recovering to the former state.
But Jin Xi would never forget this incident.
Those few unconscious MMA champions were also thrown out after that. Yan Zhen then returned back to Jiang Xiu's room. The door was broken now, but it didn't hinder his rest at all.
Yan Zhen lightly knocked that broken door, "Mr. Jiang?"
"Come in!"
Jiang Xiu was seated on the sofa. There was a cup of mineral water on the table. He picked up the notebook from over the table and passed it to Yan Zhen, "Explosive First, Demigod Rank. Don't spread it around too much, limit it to only 100 people in the army."
Jiang Xiu didn't wish for his fist art to become street goods. Even if a martial art were fierce, it would be no better than trash if a lot of people learn it, as people don't treasure things obtained easily.
Yan Zhen received it quite excitedly. He believed he would definitely be among those 100 selected people. The art he was cultivating right now was an ancient first art. His strength would increase by several times from this Demigod ranked fist art. At his level, increasing strength even by little was quite difficult, let alone, by several times.
He asked Jiang Xiu, "May I ask Mr. Jiang whether it's possible to become a Demigod through this art?"
Since it was called a Demigod ranked fist art, he thought it may perhaps have some secret hidden in it.
Jiang Xiu shook his head, "That's not possible!"
He had already removed the Immortal components from this art. Demigods were beings which have transcended worldliness. It's only possible for cultivators to stand in that realm by cultivating to the peak, reaching the limits of the human body and gaining proper comprehension by themselves.
"The path to becoming a Demigod isn't as simple as you think…"
"Pardon me for my thoughtless queries." Yan Zheng stated.
There were only around 10 Demigods from China in the Demigod Ranking, so it was clear that becoming one wasn't that easy. Let alone, this art was going to be passed down to the army.
"I shall return to the military district immediately with this to avoid any unexpected situations." Yan Zheng stated.
…
On the next day, everyone woke up and had fun till noon. Only then did they notice that Young Master Jin hadn't appeared yet and his phone was switched off as well.
Around 2 PM, Professor Xu gathered all the people as the person they were waiting for had arrived.
Spirit Tomb Sect's Li Chengzhi as well as his two sons.
Li Chengzhi wore long black robes, kept one hand behind his back and twirled with a necklace made of beads in the other hand. His brows were like that of a wolf's and eyes especially frightening. He was a person with an eccentric appearance and carried himself with an imposing aura. He was around 60-70 years old but looked as if he was middle-aged. His sons even looked older than him.
"Students, this is Master Li!"
The students called out simultaneously, "Master Li!"
Li Chengzhi smiled at them, "Hello everyone. By the way, where is Young Master Jin?" The reason he had come was to give face to Young Master Jin, but he hadn't seen the host till now.
"I'm also puzzled. We haven't seen him today at all. It's possible he's busy." Professor Xu continued.
Li Chengzhi furrowed his brows, "We must set out today as the days after today are all ominous for a while. Let's set off first. We can contact Young Master Jin later."
A Fengshui expert paid particular attention to things like these. There was no problem with contacting Young Master Jin after they reached the border of the desert. Actually, no one among them was willing to take Jin Xi along as he had only come to have fun. They even had to spend energy on attending to him. Now that Master Li had spoken already, they were ready to rumble.
"Alright. We will set off first then." Professor Xu stated.
They left for the Western Regions via rail on that day.
…
After hearing that his son's legs were broken by someone, Jin Xu hurried over from the Imperial Capital to the hospital as soon as possible. He looked at his son lay on the bed wearing a patient's clothes. His eyes turned red when he saw the plastered legs of his son, feeling bitter hatred in his heart. He only had one son, and someone had dared to break his legs. "Who is it? Who did it?"
One of the children of the Jin family to the side replied, "It's still unclear. We will know after young master wakes up."
"Doctor, when will my son wake up?"
"The effects of the anesthetic have already ended so he should have woken up already. He should be sleeping right now. That's good too as it'll hurt when he wakes up…"
Jin Xi began to issue painful moans on the hospital bed before he even finished explaining.
"SON!"
Hearing a familiar voice, Jin Xi opened his eyes. He made a sorrowful expression as if he was about to cry. He felt physical pain as well as mental pain. Jin Xu understood the woe in his son's heart, "Who dared to do this to you?"
"It's Jiangnan's Jiang Luoxia."
"It's him!"
Jin Xu was stunned, "How can it be him…" His face turned gloomy immediately, "It doesn't matter if he wants to show off his power in Jiangnan, but he shouldn't have dared to provoke my Jin family. Jin Xi, feel relieved. Father wouldn't let him have an easy time. First, explain the entire situation to me."
Jin Xi told him everything.
"He should be entering the desert around now, right? Then let's make sure he dies in the desert."
Jin Xi became excited, "Father, you mean to say?"
Jin Xi said, "Gu Dezhi has his hold in Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is a fertile land. The economy right now is quite volatile, and many big shots are eyeing this piece of land right now. Jiang Luoxia has already become a target. This a chance for us to eliminate Jiang Luoxia and take over Jiangnan."
"I'll request the elder to use the family's power to eliminate Jiang Luoxia…"
