The Jiang family has many descendants, with over twenty direct line members and even more collateral line members, like Jiang Ruhu, of whom there are over a hundred. However, the truly outstanding and talented descendants would definitely not appear in the Martial Arts Hall.
Recently, with the Spirit Beast Mountain and the Western Garrison Army about to recruit new members, Jiang Yunshan personally ordered all the descendants who could barely make a decent showing to enter seclusion, either to cultivate their Primordial Energy or to hone their martial skills. At this moment, the descendants in the Martial Arts Hall were clearly not of top talent, and their realms could not be broken through in a short time, so they could only hone their martial skills.
Although the talent of the descendants in the Martial Arts Hall was not top-notch, their status and position were all higher than Jiang Yi's. Especially two descendants who looked somewhat like Jiang Henshui, both equally handsome. One of them was Jiang Henshui's younger brother, Jiang Gushui, and the other was the son of the Deputy Elder of the Punishment Hall, Jiang Yunshi, named Jiang Rulang.
Jiang Yi's arrogant words after entering clearly angered the two, but since Jiang Yi specifically targeted Jiang Ruhu, the two, who were very deep in their schemes, did not want to overshadow the main character. They both coldly snorted without speaking, their gazes falling on Jiang Ruhu, waiting to see the show.
The two had very steady personalities, but a collateral line descendant at the third level of the Cauldron Formation Realm, standing not far from the door, had a very fiery temper. Without waiting for Jiang Ruhu to speak, he pointed at Jiang Yi's nose and shouted, "What are you? Get out!"
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Yi's Primordial Energy wildly surged, and in a flash, he was already in front of this person. He raised his hand in a lightning-fast slap, striking the other's face before they could react. The person immediately flew back several yards and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Four horses' strength, fourth level of the Cauldron Formation Realm!"
Jiang Gushui and Jiang Rulang were slightly startled. They were somewhat unfamiliar with Jiang Yi, but they remembered that when he was young, Jiang Yi's insight was astonishing, even surpassing Jiang Henshui. As contemporaries, they still had some impression of him. They clearly remembered that Jiang Yi's dantian was sealed, and he was still at the first level of the Cauldron Formation Realm last year. How did his strength suddenly increase so much?
The group around Jiang Ruhu was also stunned. Two months ago on West Mountain, Jiang Yi was only at the second level of the Cauldron Formation Realm, right? In such a short time, did he take a Heaven-grade pill? Thinking back to two months ago, when Jiang Yi, at the second level of the Cauldron Formation Realm, could beat him to a pulp, Jiang Ruhu subconsciously took two steps back.
"I said I only want the legs of Jiang Ruhu, Jiang Bao, and Jiang Song. If you don't want to be accidentally injured, please step aside!" Jiang Yi's voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, made many of the Jiang family descendants automatically take a few steps back. Jiang Yi dared to make a move in the Martial Arts Hall, clearly showing he was ready to go all out. It wasn't worth it to fight a madman.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing the situation was not right, Jiang Song turned and ran toward the side door. If he didn't run, he would be waiting for his legs to be broken. Jiang Gushui and Jiang Rulang did not take the lead, and Jiang Ruhu, with his current strength, did not dare to rely on them. As long as he ran out and shouted, Jiang Yi, who had already injured someone, would definitely be punished by the Punishment Hall.
"Whoosh!"
However, a figure was faster than him. Jiang Song felt a sharp killing intent from behind and turned his head, only to see a leg pressing down from the air. In a panic, he could only shout, "Third Young Master, Brother Lang, Brother Hu, save me!" while using the Stone-Crushing Hand technique to try to resist.
"Crack!"
A bone-breaking sound rang out. Jiang Yi's leg came down with full force, showing no mercy, easily breaking the hands of the second-level Cauldron Formation Realm Jiang Song and heavily throwing him out.
"Bang!"
As soon as Jiang Yi's foot landed, he suddenly stomped on the ground and leaped into the air, lifting his leg and heavily chopping down on Jiang Song's leg.
"Jiang Yi, are you crazy?"
"Jiang Yi, stop!"
As the third young master of the family, Jiang Gushui had to speak up. Otherwise, Jiang Song's leg would be broken to the point of becoming crippled. Jiang Rulang's father was the Deputy Elder of the Punishment Hall, and he often used the Punishment Hall to suppress the family's descendants. Now, with so many people watching, he could not remain silent.
"Crack!" "Ah!"
The response to the two was a crisp bone-breaking sound and Jiang Song's agonizing scream. Jiang Yi seemed not to hear their shouts, breaking Jiang Song's leg and then lifting his thigh to stomp on his other leg, rendering it useless, before turning his head to Jiang Gushui with a cold expression and saying, "The Jiang family has a hidden family rule, 'Misfortune does not involve the family,' right? Jiang Ruhu and the others have a grudge against me, and I accept it if they want to fight or kill me! But why did they bully my defenseless servant girl? Today, no matter who you are, even if the Heavenly King himself came, I will cripple these three."
"Whoosh!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi's gaze suddenly swept toward Jiang Bao, and his body shot forward like lightning, his aura filled with killing intent. His legs and robe were splattered with Jiang Song's blood, making him look like a terrifying god of death.
"Jiang Yi, you dare to hurt people again, no one can save you today!"
"Exactly, Jiang Yi, if you dare to make another move, don't blame us for taking action!"
Jiang Gushui and Jiang Rulang shouted, while Jiang Ruhu quickly rushed behind the two. Jiang Ruying had already gone to call his brother, Jiang Rulong. As long as Jiang Rulong came, Jiang Yi would have no choice but to die. Jiang Yi's numerous misdeeds today, even if he accidentally killed someone, would not be a major crime, at most a severe punishment...
"Bang!"
Jiang Yi ignored the threats of Jiang Gushui and the others, quickly catching up to Jiang Bao, and without using any martial skills, he punched with a single fist. For a second-level Cauldron Formation Realm martial artist like Jiang Bao, it was too easy for him to eliminate.
"Boom!"
Jiang Bao took a few steps forward, feeling a massive force from behind. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell forward. Ignoring the pain in his body, he screamed in terror, "Third Young Master, Brother Lang, Brother Hu, why don't you take action? If you don't, I will be beaten to death."
Jiang Gushui and the others still did not move. Jiang Bao was a minor character, and his injury was not a big deal. On the contrary, this increased Jiang Yi's crimes, making their actions more justified. However, their expressions became increasingly grim.
"Crack!"
When Jiang Bao's two legs were broken by Jiang Yi, and his gaze locked onto Jiang Ruhu, Jiang Gushui and the others finally could not hold back. Their Primordial Energy wildly surged, and their auras rose. Jiang Gushui shouted, "Jiang Yi, this is your last chance. Stop now and wait for the Punishment Hall to handle it, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Both were at the fifth level of the Cauldron Formation Realm. In their view, although Jiang Yi's strength had improved strangely, it was not a concern. They did not act at first because they did not want to get involved in Jiang Ruhu's troubles, but how could they watch Jiang Ruhu's legs be broken?
"Jiang Ruhu, I must cripple you today. Whoever dares to stop me will bear the consequences!"
Jiang Yi walked step by step toward the crowd, his eyes filled with coldness. At this moment, the lower half of his black robe was splattered with blood, and one of his hands was dyed red. Combined with the intense killing intent on his body, he had a terrifying presence.
"Hmph! Jiang Yi, committing violence in public, after our persuasion, you still insist on your way. Everyone, listen to the order, take down Jiang Yi together!"
Jiang Gushui coldly shouted, waving his hand and leading the charge. Since the third young master of the family had taken action, the others naturally dared not continue to stand by. Although Jiang Yi looked terrifying, could one person be a match for dozens of people present?
"Go, break this madman's legs and send him to the Punishment Hall to await my father's judgment," Jiang Rulang also coldly shouted, charging from the other side toward Jiang Yi.
"Good!"
This was exactly what Jiang Ruhu wanted. With so many people, even if Jiang Yi was extraordinary, he could not resist the many hands. Even if he could, the delay would be enough to wait for Jiang Rulong to arrive.
"I have no intention of being your enemy, don't force me! Get out!"
Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with a black light, using black Primordial Energy for the first time. He coldly shouted, and his body shot forward like a shadow, his fists forming six afterimages, enveloping the leading Jiang Gushui.
"Hmph, Phantom Fist, I can do it too!"
Jiang Gushui smiled faintly, also forming six fist afterimages, colliding with Jiang Yi's six afterimages. In his view, the two differed by one level, equivalent to the strength of one horse. If Jiang Yi dared to clash head-on, it would be suicide. His attack speed and reaction speed were much faster than Jiang Yi's, so no matter how he played, Jiang Yi would not be a match!
"Whoosh!"
However, what shocked Jiang Gushui was that Jiang Yi's fists changed mid-air, turning the Phantom Fist into the Stone-Crushing Hand. When he tried to change his move, Jiang Yi changed again, his hands probing like seaweed, and his legs sweeping like snake whips, so fast and perfectly coordinated that he could not react at all.
"Bang!"
Despite the difference in level, Jiang Gushui was still kicked away in one move. Fortunately, Jiang Yi did not seem to use full strength, or his legs would have been injured.
"Comparing martial skills? You bunch of wine bags... when have you ever been a match for me?"
Jiang Yi's mocking laughter echoed, and his body moved like the wind through the crowd. Anyone who touched him was easily thrown out. Jiang Gushui saw people flying out one by one, his face full of disbelief. When did this sealed waste become so formidable?
Jiang Yi did not even need to use black Primordial Energy to enhance his strength. Just with his terrifying vision and advanced martial skills, he could easily defeat everyone present. Fifth level of the Cauldron Formation Realm? To him, it was nothing.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
One after another, people were thrown out, lying on the ground groaning. Their eyes were filled with shock, but they were not all seriously injured. They were pretending to be injured, not daring to continue. Many of them did not even see Jiang Yi's moves clearly before being thrown out. Rushing up would only invite more trouble.
"Ah—"
Jiang Rulang, at the fifth level of the Cauldron Formation Realm, was soon thrown out, his face marked by a clear palm print, burning with pain.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Ruhu had been secretly observing the situation. Seeing Jiang Rulang also thrown out, he dared not look anymore, shrinking his body and sneaking toward the side door. Jiang Rulong had not arrived yet, and if he did not run, he would end up like Jiang Bao and Jiang Song on the ground.
"Hmph! Trying to escape? Jiang Ruhu, die!"
Jiang Yi's peripheral vision had been locked on Jiang Ruhu. How could he let him escape? He immediately used a strange step, his speed suddenly increasing, easily passing through the crowd, and a fist of iron aimed at Jiang Ruhu. This was the first time he used the Extreme Divine Step, even though it might be recognized, he could not afford to care...
"Jiang Ruhu, die?"
At this moment, a cold snort came from outside the side door, and a towering figure rushed in. Seeing Jiang Yi's fist about to hit Jiang Ruhu's back, he immediately shouted in anger, "Little bastard, dare to hurt my brother? You will die today."
"Jiang Rulong?"
Jiang Yi's eyes turned cold, and his iron fist instantly retracted, but he immediately changed his move, using the Silk-Winding Hand to grab Jiang Ruhu's hair, pulling him back and sweeping his leg, causing Jiang Ruhu's fat body to crash to the ground.
Then... in front of Jiang Rulong, Jiang Yi swiftly and heavily stepped on Jiang Ruhu's chest, and then coldly looked at Jiang Rulong, saying, "I not only want to hurt him, but also cripple him! You want to kill me? Are you sure you have the ability?"
"Crack!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yi's leg was raised again, and he heavily stomped on Jiang Ruhu's leg...
