Chapter 12 Ruthless Destruction of Flowers

"...Heh...I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've all come to me on your own."

Jiang Chuan sneered inwardly, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

After breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he had been looking for an opportunity to kill Old Man Wang and Wang Yuyan, two people who harbored ill intentions towards him, to eliminate any future troubles.

As soon as Jiang Chuan pushed open the door, he heard Old Wang greet him in a familiar manner.

"...Xiao Chuan, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!" Jiang Chuan asked, feigning excitement.

"Uncle Wang, where have you been all this time? I've been looking for you for a long time since I finished my seclusion, but I couldn't find you."

Old Wang made a show of reminiscing.

"Sigh, life is tough. Yuyan and I went to Yunmeng Mountain to gather herbs and hunt demons, and stayed there for a while longer..."

"As for you, your cultivation has already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining?"

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands in thanks: "Thanks to Uncle Wang, I've managed to make a breakthrough."

"By the way, Uncle Wang, you're going to the Yunmeng Mountains this time. Do you know about my parents?"

Old Man Wang said solemnly, "I was just about to tell you about this. During my trip, I learned some more information: your parents are trapped in a Foundation Establishment Immortal Abode and are unlikely to get out for the time being..."

"I've come here to ask you, are you planning to look for your parents?"

After Old Wang finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Yuyan beside him, indicating that if Jiang Chuan refused again, they would carry out the pre-arranged plan and kill him without hesitation, even if it alarmed the Lingtian enforcers.

"Really?? Uncle Wang, wow!"

Wang Yuyan was ready to act immediately, but upon hearing Jiang Chuan's reply, she abruptly stopped herself.

Even the cunning old man Wang paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, stroked his beard, and chuckled:

"Very well, shall we set off now?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Okay!"

Old Man Wang and Wang Yuyan exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed expressions of joy.

Although they were prepared to take action at Jiang Chuan's house, it would undoubtedly be better to do so outside the market, saving them a lot of trouble...

Immediately, the three of them headed out of the spirit field, with Jiang Chuan at the back, already extremely cautious.

The location of the spiritual fields in the Dingzi District is relatively remote, mostly consisting of various mountains and lakes, with spiritual fields interspersed among them, and there is not much traffic.

After crossing several mountain peaks and leaving the area of ​​the spirit field, Jiang Chuan was led by Old Man Wang to a relatively open area...

"...Xiao Chuan, you should cultivate..."

Just as the old man leading the way was about to speak, he suddenly heard Wang Yuyan say, "Be careful."

The next instant, a huge fireball, about ten feet long, with flames raging and radiating extreme heat, roared down towards him.

Jiang Chuan, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, unexpectedly used a fireball spell. Even though it was a low-grade first-level ordinary spell, its power was extraordinary. The terrifying flames directly engulfed Old Man Wang...

Seeing a move that could achieve a surprising victory,

With a thought, Jiang Chuan suddenly produced two "giant sword talismans" in his hand. The next moment, they transformed into two pale blue giant swords, each about ten feet long. One sword stabbed fiercely towards Wang Yuyan, and the other towards Old Man Wang.

After shouting "Watch out!", Wang Yuyan realized something was wrong.

Their supposedly flawless plan had been exposed to Jiang Chuan long ago. Before they could even make a move, Jiang Chuan preemptively struck, gaining the upper hand as soon as they left the spirit field's area...

After being hit by Jiang Chuan's "Fireball Technique," Old Man Wang immediately realized he was in trouble, knowing he had been careless and had been ambushed by Jiang Chuan.

Just as he used the "Minor Cloud Rain Technique" to extinguish the flames on his body, he discovered that the power of these flames was extraordinary. In almost an instant, they burned his clothes and hair to ashes.

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could the fireball spell be so terrifying?"

Old Wang roared inwardly, his eyes blazing with fury, his mind trembling.

At the critical moment of life and death, he hurriedly took out his storage bag and summoned a jade disc-like magical artifact, which emitted a "protective aura" in an attempt to shield himself for a moment. However, he found that the protective aura was also shaky and could shatter at any moment.

"Such power is difficult even for a mid-grade magic weapon to withstand. Could he be a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator?"

Old Wang was horrified. His pupils contracted and his eyes glared angrily. He had only just entered the first level of Qi Refining three years ago, but three years later he had actually broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

How is that possible?

But the power of magic was undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

Feeling the terrifying scorching power of the flames, and facing imminent death, at the critical moment, Old Man Wang hurriedly tried to beg for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist, please spare me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a giant sword came flying, slicing across his neck. His head flew off, leaving only a pair of terrified, unseeing eyes...

Because Wang Yuyan was a little far from Jiang Chuan and was not his primary target, she had a brief moment to dodge, only losing an arm to the giant sword.

"This is a giant sword talisman, no, he's not at the third level of Qi Refining."

"He even killed the old man?"

Wang Yuyan was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that she lost all courage to fight and turned to run away.

Jiang Chuan, with his calculated strategy and unpreparedness, used his ninth-level Qi Refining strength to "defeat" a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator and a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator. With the added assistance of numerous talismans, how could he possibly stand idly by and watch Wang Yuyan escape?

He immediately activated his perfected "Lifting and Leaping Technique," covering a distance of over ten zhang in a single step, and caught up with Wang Yuyan in an instant.

Watching Jiang Chuan catch up, Wang Yuyan was terrified, her face paled, and she lost all will to fight. Filled with regret, she knew there was no hope of escape, so she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Jiang Chuan, stop! Spare me..."

"I am willing to serve you as my Lord, to be your servant, to warm your bed and make your blankets..."

Jiang Chuan sneered, too lazy to waste words, and casually unleashed a fireball spell that engulfed Wang Yuyan...

"Ha, villains die from talking too much. I won't give you a chance to fight back."

A moment later,

Old Man Wang and Wang Yuyan disappeared, leaving behind only a pile of ashes, a jade pendant, and a gray cloth bag.

After quickly killing Old Man Wang and his companion,

Jiang Chuan's heart, which had been pounding since he left the wooden house, finally relaxed completely.

"Phew, that was close. Sure enough, the first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers. The ancients were right."

A few days ago, after seeing Old Wang and his companion again, he had already made plans for how to handle the situation.

Today, it was simply carried out according to plan.

He hadn't expected that Old Man Wang and his companion would be so careless. Did they think he wouldn't dare to make a move within the market area first?

Or do they really think they're just ants at the second level of Qi Refining, easily crushed?

All he could say was, "You're overthinking it."

Looking at the two human-shaped ashes on the ground, Jiang Chuan did not experience the vomiting, discomfort, or other "post-homicide syndrome" he had expected.

I just felt okay, nothing special, like killing a chicken or a fish.

"Does that mean I'm inherently cold-blooded?"

Jiang Chuan had this idea in his mind.

"But who cares?"

"I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will kill."

"Regardless of gender!"
