Chapter 65
Lin Mi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Fu, is Heavenly Silkworm Silk Tempest that powerful?"
Uncle Fu forced a smile, "Saying it's powerful doesn't give it any justice."
"Heavenly Silkworm Silk is known as the thinnest as well as the strongest silk. It isn't possible to create a thread thinner than the Heavenly Silkworm Silk even with the latest scientific equipment. It isn't possible to break it even by slashing it with a sword, but it's possible to do that by using an energy slash. You can imagine Heavenly Silkworm Silk's fearsome strength from this."
"According to legend, Heavenly Silkworm Silk Tempest can crush a cube of 1x1x1 meter dimension into powder."
Lin Mi's eyes opened wide, "That's really incredible!"
Uncle Fu nodded solemnly, it was rare to see such an expert.
"It looks like that arrogant brat is scr*wed now." Lin Mi felt gleeful. When Jiang Xiu acted just now, it gave her a feeling as if he was taking revenge and it made her feel quite unwell.
If Jiang Xiu was indeed an arrogant, ignorant, countryside youth, then she'd have felt angry but still accepted the result of him refusing the Lin family. Since that reaction might've been because he was naive and didn't know how powerful the Lin family was, so he obviously wouldn't revere it. However, Jiang Xiu was pretty powerful, so there was no chance that he was a clueless person and knew what kind of existence the Lin family was yet still refused the Lin family under those circumstances. This was clearly expressing disdain towards the Lin family and equivalent to blasphemy.
"Dying in such a way, he really got off too easily."
A person who offends the Lin family members naturally wouldn't have a good end. The dignity of the influential families wasn't something anyone could step on.
"It's an honor for him to die under the Heavenly Silkworm Silk Tempest."
Heavenly Silkworm Silk Tempest was a top-notch martial skill. The requirement to cultivate this skill successfully was to reach the Supreme Grandmaster Stage. It also becomes easier to control the conversion of the inner essence to outer strength. This kind of ultimate skill needs at least 60 years to achieve perfection. A full 60 years, human life lasts only a little over 60 years, so this meant that it'd take an entire lifetime to cultivate this skill.
Uncle Fu felt that it was an honor to make a top expert use their ultimate skill but believed that Jiang Xiu didn't deserve this honor.
Whoooosshhh!
Silk rained down everywhere, appearing as if they were fragments yet complete, totally unpredictable. Each wave seemed to possess a terrible power, so much that even steel or iron might easily split into pieces.
"It's Lin Jinnan!"
Someone identified Old Lin after he used that move.
Everyone cried out in alarm.
"Strongest under Demigod, Lin Jinnan?"
None of them could stay calm anymore.
Everyone thought that with the murderous momentum Jiang Xiu swept through the opponents like a storm then no one would be able to stop him, but they hadn't expected that Ye Yiliang had such an expert with him.
No one was rooting for Jiang Xiu as Lin Jinnan's reputation was too high. Though Chu Tiannan was famous in Jiangnan province to the point that Tang Zhenshan had to drive up a hill during a storm to ask for help, he was nothing but a child in front of Lin Jinnan.
Someone with the potential to become a Demigod was on an entirely different level.
There was no doubt they'd become someone who looked down on all living things.
As everyone saw Jiang Xiu finish his last seal, he pushed the mysterious seal towards the silk with his right palm. They all shook their heads, thinking that Jiang Xiu's hand would get crippled without a doubt. Even marble couldn't withstand the silk so there was no doubt human flesh couldn't. However, when those chaotic silk threads touched the palm, they broke in tiny pieces due to the white light radiating from it.
"Impossible!"
Old Lin's expression morphed. His Heavenly Silkworm Silk Tempest was a highly purified, condensed form of his Inner Strength which could even cut through diamonds so he couldn't believe that a palm had broken it easily.
."You call this a Martial Skill?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head. He felt quite disappointed as the opponent was too weak and couldn't make him go all out.
"Sigh!"
"You understand nothing about Martial Skills."
Boom!
His palm pushed out. He had just made a gesture before, that's all. The seal took effect now, spreading in all directions and making it seem like cannons were being shot in the area which it covered. Lighting flashes and thunderous echoes seemed to appear along with a screeching gale of wind similar to that of several ghosts weeping together. Void seemed to tear apart as various forces descended aggressively.
"Wither!"
This seal seemed to overthrow the heavens with a formless hand, as heavy as the mountains. It was as if the Great Void started to contract, both Heaven and Earth returning to Unity.
Too powerful and extremely abnormal.
"How is this possible?"
Lin Jinnan was extremely alarmed. Under this power, he felt a large force akin to the Heaven's suppress him. It was like a single person making a stand against a landslide or a tsunami.
Under everyone's astonished gazed, Lin Jinnan flew back as if he was the center of an explosion. Though he was still in mid-air, a portion of the 2 storied house 20 meters behind him was blown away from the energy pulse, leaving behind an empty space in the same shape as the hand seal.
"What kind of Martial Skill is this?"
Uncle Fu, Ye Yiliang, as well as Lin Mi's eyes almost popped out.
Are you freaking shooting a movie or what?!
Right now, Lin Jinnan was cursing in his heart already. This power has already surpassed the limits of the Martial Arts stages. I didn't expect that this youth would be so powerful. Am I going to die?
Bang!
He fell to the ground, puffing out blood.
"Old Lin!"
Ye Yiliang cried out loudly. This time, Old Lin might… He didn't dare think in that direction. Old Lin was the treasure of the Ye family.
Nothing must happen to you.
Ye Yiliang personally dashed towards Lin Jinnan and supported him with a face filled with grief. Old Lin's complexion was pale, and he kept vomiting blood, barely able to speak anything.
"My…"
"Heart Vein is safe."
At his level, as long as the Heart Vein was safe, it was possible to recover.
Ye Yilaing finally relaxed after hearing those words.
"Do you know why this Deity has spared his shitty life?" Jiang Xiu's voice came through from behind, that tone was indifferent as if he had done a simple thing.
Shitty life?
Though it sounded quite sharp and vicious, they weren't empty words. Even the house 20 meters away couldn't withstand the attack, let alone Old Lin's Heart Vein.
There was a simple reason for that, it was because he had acted leniently.
Ye Yiliang looked towards Jiang Xiu with a perplexed gaze, only to hear him say, "This Deity has also let of your shitty life, it's a favor from this Deity. You should thank your daughter for lending this Deity 1800 RMB in school before."
"Your daughter saved you."
Ye Yiliang trembled, his face going pale. A few days ago, he had boasted to Jiang Xiu that he wasn't suitable for his daughter. Now if it weren't for this relation, then he would've died already. The pride in his heart was utterly crushed by Jiang Xiu at this moment.
This was a cutting as well as lethal counterattack.
He had no choice but to admit it. As Old Lin had lost, he had no way of winning over Jiang Xiu.
It was hard for him to resist against Jiang Xiu's strength.
So he could only bear this humiliation.
Everyone else present on the scene was left stupefied looking at the damaged house. They felt as if everything was a dream as they couldn't imagine a human achieving such a feat.
Especially Jiang Xiu's childhood friends, Chu Qiancheng, Da Nian and the others, they were thoroughly petrified.
Jiang Xiu… did this?
It was too shocking for them.
As for Lin Mi's party and Uncle Fu, they could only stare at that house with their eyes wide open. There was no doubt they were shocked. Though people who didn't know the details would think it was a shocking matter, those who knew the truth could understand how terrible this was.
Only Demigods could achieve his.
This kid is a Demigod?!
Aren't those Demigods all old fogies? Even the youngest among them is 50 years old, but this kid seems like he's just in his teens. Oh God! Just what kind of a level will he reach in another 10 to 20 years?
No wonder he said that the moment he arrives at the Lin family is the moment they'd kneel down and repent.
No wonder he was so arrogant.
Fear filled the gazes of Lin Mi's party.
A frightening thought appeared in their mind.
As he was so ruthless and dealt with people in the same manner that they treated him. There was no doubt he'd take revenge on them as he received humiliation… All of sudden, they felt as if the surrounding temperature had gone down by 5-6 degrees as a chill swept over them.
They saw Jiang Xiu turn his cold gaze towards them.
He slowly raised his finger.
Pointing it towards Uncle Fu beside Lin Mi.
Yesterday, he had killed a person in front of Jiang Xiu to intimidate him.
Lin Mi and Uncle Fu's complexions turned paler. The opponent was someone who was possibly a Demigod. Though Uncle Fu believed he was extraordinary, he didn't even have the confidence that he could win over Lin Jinnan.
He was hoping that Jiang Xiu wouldn't point towards him.
But Jiang Xiu's voice echoed like a demon's whisper.
"This Deity challenges you!"
