Chapter 791 - 790: Jiang Xinglan’s Fury! Chu Sheng Can’t Defeat Jiang Xinglan?
Chapter 791: Chapter 790: Jiang Xinglan’s Fury! Chu Sheng Can’t Defeat Jiang Xinglan?
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Xinglan’s life had been one of smooth sailing, without a single obstacle in his path.
It wasn’t that his family protected him too well.
It was that among his peers, almost no one was his match.
Even those veteran Integration Realm powerhouses who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years...
...could only sigh in inferiority before him, praising him as a prodigy of immense talent.
Anything he set out to do, he accomplished.
Anything he desired, he obtained.
Everyone in Luoping City put him on a pedestal, respected him, and saw him as a future candidate for the Immortal Realm.
But today...
He was first ignored by a rogue Loose Cultivator who had just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Then, he was looked down upon by what appeared to be an ordinary mosquito.
And finally, in a head-on clash with this very mosquito, he had come out completely on the losing end, with even his Star Sword sustaining damage.
That was a Divine Level Middle-Grade Star Sword!
The materials used in its Artifact Refining were meteorites from the starry sky beyond the Spirit Realm.
The master who had infused the sword with Law Patterns was an Artifact Refining Master renowned throughout the Spirit Realm.
Forget a tiny mosquito.
Even a Celestial God Realm expert would be absolutely incapable of leaving a mark on the blade with their bare hands.
This point had long been verified by the Supreme Elders of his family.
And yet...
This mosquito before him...
...had casually blocked with a foreleg as thin as a strand of hair.
And his Divine Level Middle-Grade Star Sword had actually cracked, a fissure the size of a fingernail appearing on its surface!
"No!!"
"Impossible!!!"
"My eyes must be deceiving me!!!"
Jiang Xinglan rubbed his eyes hard and looked down again at the Star Sword in his hand.
The crack was glaringly there, exceptionally jarring under the sunlight.
’It’s not a hallucination!’
’It’s actually real!’
’My Star Sword, the most important thing to me, actually has a crack in it.’
Jiang Xinglan felt like his heart was bleeding.
But that wasn’t even the most important part.
The most important part was that the Star Sword had been cracked open by a mosquito’s kick!
At that moment, a heaven-shaking storm of shock surged through Jiang Xinglan’s heart.
He couldn’t bear the horror in his heart any longer.
He abruptly raised his head, looked at Chu Sheng hovering in mid-air, and asked with a trembling voice.
"What... what in the world are you?"
"I don’t believe you’re just an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito!!!"
"A mosquito absolutely could not have damaged my Star Sword!!!"
Chu Sheng paid no mind to Jiang Xinglan’s shock, only discerning that Jiang Xinglan was probably cursing at him.
Even if it was unintentional, it still pissed him off.
Without a shred of politeness, Chu Sheng pointed at Jiang Xinglan and shot back.
"You’re the ’thing’!"
"Your whole family are ’things’!"
"A worthless thing, embarrassing yourself in front of this Lord Mosquito!"
At this moment, Jiang Xinglan was still in a state of utter shock from his Star Sword being cracked.
He didn’t understand the meaning behind Chu Sheng’s words and subconsciously replied.
"My family and I are not ’things.’"
"Correct!"
Chu Sheng waved his forelegs in satisfaction, his left foreleg tapping his left hind leg.
"Your whole family indeed aren’t ’things’."
"It’s good that you admit it yourself. No need to let everyone know."
Jiang Xinglan froze for two seconds.
He finally realized he’d been tricked.
’Didn’t I just end up cursing my own family?!!’
"You’re courting death!"
Jiang Xinglan’s face turned green with fury.
He couldn’t out-argue Chu Sheng, so he could only raise his Star Sword again in anger.
He pointed the tip of the sword at Chu Sheng as his Divine Power surged.
"I was just toying with you earlier, not taking it seriously. That’s the only reason you got an opening."
"Now, I’m getting serious."
"Damn mosquito, just you wait to die!"
"This time, I will grind your bones to dust!"
Watching Jiang Xinglan completely lose his composure, Xiao Feng’s mind also fell into a state of confusion.
He had known Jiang Xinglan for so many years and had never seen him lose his composure like this.
In his memory, Jiang Xinglan had always been the very picture of a confident, refined, and graceful prodigy.
He wouldn’t even bat an eye if the sky were falling.
Of course, this was with the secret protection of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Xinglan had never experienced any real hardships.
It was just that Jiang Xinglan himself was kept in the dark and didn’t know it.
But then Xiao Feng saw the tiny crack on the Star Sword in Jiang Xinglan’s hand.
He finally understood why Jiang Xinglan had lost his composure so completely.
The durability of a Divine Level Middle-Grade Star Sword was far greater than the physical body of a Celestial God Realm Cultivator.
Even an Attack from a Celestial God Realm expert couldn’t harm it in the slightest.
But it had cracked from a single casual block from Chu Sheng?
Xiao Feng couldn’t help but stare intently at Chu Sheng’s slender legs.
Those were the legs of an ordinary mosquito!
They were so thin you could barely see them, so how could they possibly be harder than a Divine Level Middle-Grade Magical Treasure?
Xiao Feng was stunned for a long time.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept this ridiculous reality.
At the same time, the exact same thought as Jiang Xinglan’s surfaced in his mind.
’This mosquito is definitely not just a mosquito!’
’It must be a descendant of some ancient, primordial Bloodline.’
’It’s just using a mosquito’s appearance to hide its true Bloodline.’
But Xiao Feng scanned Chu Sheng back and forth over a dozen times with his Divine Thought.
The result was the same every time.
Chu Sheng was just an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito.
Aside from the astonishing fact that it could reach the Void Refining Realm First Layer through Cultivation...
...there was nothing else special about it.
Xiao Feng could only suppress his myriad doubts and look toward Jiang Xinglan.
Jiang Xinglan’s rage meter was maxed out; he was clearly preparing to go all-out.
’Let’s team up against this mosquito, just to be safe,’ he thought, wanting to suggest it to Jiang Xinglan again.
But as the words reached his lips, he suddenly recalled Jiang Xinglan’s earlier disdainful expression.
Xiao Feng tactfully kept his mouth shut and took a silent step back.
A person as proud and arrogant as Jiang Xinglan...
...would never proactively ask him for help unless he was truly at his wits’ end with nowhere to turn.
Suggesting they team up now would only make Jiang Xinglan think he was being mocked, and nothing good would come of it.
Xiao Feng folded his arms, stepped to the side, and fixed his gaze on Chu Sheng.
In his view, although Jiang Xinglan had suffered a setback at the beginning...
...just as Jiang Xinglan himself had said, he hadn’t been using his full power, merely attacking casually.
Jiang Xinglan was at the Integration Realm Peak, just one step away from advancing to the True God Realm. He still had many trump cards to play.
If he got serious, Xiao Feng didn’t believe...
...that a mosquito at the Void Refining Realm First Layer could be Jiang Xinglan’s match.
’A prodigy is still a prodigy; the foundation is there. He was just careless before.’
But the crowd of gossiping onlookers thought differently from Xiao Feng.
They no longer cared so much about who would win or lose in the end.
The drama today had been full of twists and turns, with one reversal after another. It was already well worth the price of admission.
Wait, no.
They didn’t even have to pay for a ticket!
"This Loose Cultivator named Gu Yuexi is so damn badass!"
"Yeah, first she slapped Jiang Qingyao several times, then she destroyed her physical body. If Jiang Qingyao hadn’t had the Soul Guardian Bottle to save her life, she’d be deader than dead by now."
"I thought it would end there, but Gu Yuexi was actually about to destroy Jiang Qingyao’s Divine Soul right in front of Xiao Feng and the Law Enforcement Team, completely unafraid."
"If Jiang Qingyao’s Divine Soul had really been destroyed, wouldn’t the Jiang Family hate her to death? Anyone else would have chickened out long ago, but she didn’t seem to care at all."
