Chapter 548 It's just that this child is too unruly
Otherwise, the prestigious Taikun Sect wouldn't have used it to pave the plaza where they often held martial arts competitions.
Even if two Nascent Soul cultivators attacked the Water Jade Floor Tile with all their might, they might not be able to create such a deep pit.
If Jiang Sheng hadn't decisively torn apart the spatial barrier and jumped out of the attack range, he would probably be nothing but bones by now.
In an instant, the scattered sounds completely ceased.
Even after the sword strike was unleashed, the lingering sword energy still sent chills down people's spines and made them tremble. In the plaza, many cultivators fainted from the impact of the sword intent just from glancing at the sword pit.
This demonstrates the profound skill, formidable swordsmanship, and intense killing intent of the swordsman.
Unaware of what had happened, the onlookers speculated that some powerful figure was throwing a tantrum and disciplining a junior. But when the layers of smoke and dust cleared, everyone was astonished to discover that the one wielding the sword was actually a very young-looking girl.
The girl was dressed in a white moon-colored gown with gold thread wrapped around her sleeves and white jade tassels. Her slender and upright back was like a second long sword that was impossible to look directly at.
In the empty wind, the faint, crisp sound of golden bells could be heard, one after another, resonating deep within one's heart.
Those who noticed the girl's attire immediately guessed which sect she belonged to, and their hearts sank even further.
Has the Tianqian Sect become this powerful? Even a casual disciple possesses such terrifying strength? What kind of monsters are in there?!
Then... when they compete with the disciples of the Tianqian Sect, won't they be accidentally killed by a careless move?
The smoke and dust have cleared, but the grudges remain.
Jiang Liqian gripped her sword, staring directly at Jiang Sheng in mid-air.
Faced with Jiang Liqian's icy killing move, Jiang Sheng showed no anger, but instead a hint of satisfaction and approval flashed in his eyes. He praised, "That's how you should be a member of the Jiang family."
"Heh." Jiang Liqian remained noncommittal, lowering her head and chuckling softly, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes.
Jiang Sheng's figure flashed and reappeared ten steps away from Jiang Liqian. Across the horrific crater, he looked at her and said, "Qianqian, it's time to go home."
In short, though it was barely a sound, light as a feather, it was like a spear gleaming with cold light, piercing Jiang Liqian's heart.
Unseen blood was spilled all over the ground.
Without uttering a single wasted word, she drew her sword and slashed straight at him.
The next instant, four guards dressed in identical uniforms, each with the character "Jiang" embroidered on the hem of their clothes, aimed their magical weapons at her vital points from the four directions: east, west, south, and north. The invisible pressure imprisoned her in mid-air, rendering her unable to move her sword-wielding hand.
The spiritual energy instantly began to flow upwards from the soles of the feet.
The person Jiang Liqian wanted to kill stood calmly in front of her, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
“You think,” Jiang Liqian gritted her teeth, her right wrist actually breaking free from the guard’s control under this absolute suppression, trembling and turning little by little, “that just four Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators can completely control me?”
The meridians connecting her palms and arms were almost about to break during this struggle; the intense pain stimulated her meridians, but she didn't care at all.
She could tolerate Jiang Sheng's attempt to humiliate her in front of so many people, pretending not to see him at all. But since he hurt her junior brother, she wanted him to pay the price!
She wouldn't mind settling old scores with them.
Father... Ah, so what if I'm a father?
Even if she were to be condemned by heaven and earth, she would not regret it!
Watching helplessly as Jiang Liqian was about to break her right wrist, the four guards who were restraining her all looked at Jiang Sheng, waiting for his orders. Jiang Sheng just stared, his calm face showing no emotion.
The four guards gritted their teeth, fearing they might actually hurt Jiang Liqian, and quickly said in unison, "Second Miss, stop! Don't provoke the head of the family!"
Jiang Li pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Jiang Sheng. The Shitian Sword in her hand shone brighter and brighter, its sharp sword energy almost breaking free of the sword itself and rushing straight towards Jiang Sheng.
And her wrists are under even greater pressure.
Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, and blood lines were already faintly visible on Jiang Liqian's wrist, Xu Youan, who had been enduring the stalemate, could no longer care whether his senior sister would be angry at him for interfering. A cyan array plate instantly appeared under Jiang Liqian's feet, and then space reversed. Xu Youan forcefully resisted the restraints of the four Nascent Soul Grand Perfection experts and pulled her out of the encirclement.
As soon as he landed, he immediately checked her wrist.
She pulled her fair wrist from his hand, and a sword was held horizontally in front of him, quickly pushing him behind her.
"Back off."
Jiang Liqian stood steadily in front of him, blocking all the scrutinizing gazes. A sword seemed to shield him from all the wind and snow.
Xu Youan's eyes suddenly darkened as they fell on her bleeding wrist, a suffocating pain washing over him.
How many times has this happened?
His senior sister had protected him countless times, while he could only humbly look up at her back as she died.
Jiang Liqian's unusual action caused Jiang Sheng to narrow his eyes, and a sharp and piercing gaze instantly fell on Xu Youan.
Jiang Liqian noticed this and immediately moved a step to the left, completely blocking Xu Youan. The Shitian Sword hummed in her hand.
Jiang Sheng's expression grew even more profound.
He raised his hand slightly, and four more guards appeared, surrounding Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan.
This time, Qing Mu, Fang Wanning, and the others no longer hesitated to stand by and watch. They stepped forward and surrounded Jiang Liqian, giving the guards a cold shoulder.
So what if he's her biological father? What kind of father would treat his daughter like this? Slapping her or breaking her hand! Is the head of the Jiang family so great?!
Although they couldn't figure out what the feud between the father and daughter was all about, they still had to shamelessly meddle in this matter, even if it was just a family affair of the Jiang family!
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Bai Yin, the Grand Elder of the Taikun Sect, finally appeared, breaking the deadlock. Jiang Junze, who had gone to discuss the sect competition with the Taikun Sect's steward, also rushed over upon hearing the news.
Upon seeing the scene of swords drawn between the two sides, he immediately stood in front of Jiang Liqian, sternly rebuked the eight guards, and then, with a flick of his sleeve, knelt before Jiang Sheng.
With a worried expression and an anxious voice, she said, "Father, my younger sister has been away from home for many years and is inevitably unfamiliar with the rules of the house. She may have offended you unintentionally. Please forgive her this time for my sake."
Bai Yin walked up to Jiang Sheng and gently advised, "Since they are your own children, why be so strict? And in front of everyone, it's inevitable that you'll lose face, isn't it? Patriarch Jiang, the competition is just around the corner. Even if you don't care about the monks, you should at least consider the Buddha's face of my Taikun Sect, right?"
Jiang Shengwei composed himself, shifting his gaze from Jiang Liqian to Bai Yin. Clearly, he couldn't refuse to give face to this elder, so he nodded slightly to him: "It's just that this child is too unruly and hasn't been home for a long time. Now that we've finally met, I've come to catch him. Please excuse my rudeness."
