This sword move was the first ever killing move taught to Jiang Xiu by his master and could be used to battle by skipping ranks. It was really unworthy for this move to be used to kill the Wang Ancestor.
Thousand Flying Sword Chain, a chain made of layers of several sword lights refined from a sword.
"A Divine Art, it's a Divine Art…" Tang Zhenshan cried, "Wenchong, do you see it? Mr. Jiang is actually so powerful…"
Tang Wenchong nodded, unable to contain his excitement.
Cheng Lingsu, Ye Wenchen and the rest were already left utterly speechless, looking at this ethereal scene with a dumbfounded gaze.
"How can someone like this exist in this world?"
"Doesn't it look like a movie scene?"
However, all of this had really happened, and the one amongst them who disdained Jiang Xiu the most, Cheng Lingsu, felt utterly perplexed. H-He's actually such an existence.
At the moment she learned that Jiang Xiu was Jiang Luoxia, Cheng Lingsu felt a variety of emotions, including shock, doubt, anger and… after watching him use myriad of godly skills, all those emotions had finally transformed into disbelief and remorse. She then remembered his words.
"Alright. This Deity will satisfy you so listen well."
"At Belden, this Deity slapped the four young masters."
"At the Heavenly Dao Arena, this Deity…"
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The Wang Ancestor screamed in pain. That chain was unceasingly piercing into his deified body and ravaging it.
"This isn't possible."
His expression twisted with pain, gaze filled with disbelief.
"I have a deified body…"
"No one can kill me."
The arrogance of this Demigod who had ruled over Jiangnan for 200 years had finally vanished.
"NOOO…"
He made a final struggle at this moment of life and death, chopping towards the chain of sword lights with his Giant Sword. The Giant Sword got cut off and broke into halves when it touched the sword light, one half falling into the water while the other flew out due to the vibrations, revolving twice mid-air before landing in the water.
"Blergh!"
The Wang Ancestor puffed out a mouthful of blood. His deification reversed and then his body fell down.
"The Wang family's Demigod… got killed?"
"Dead?"
The Wang family's vassals shuddered as they said these words.
"Wang Jianzhi is dead!"
After the sword light disappeared, the people there saw that an ordinary sword which seemed to be made of scrap iron had pierced into the location of the Wang Ancestor's heart. Jiang Xiu suddenly rushed forward and grabbed the Wang Ancestor who was falling then he walked towards the Bayview Platform by treading on water.
Thud! He threw the Wang Ancestor's body in front of Old Madame Wang.
"What other methods do the Wang family have? Use them as quickly as possible."
"This Deity shall wait."
The Old Madame gazed at the dead body of the Wang Ancestor which had begun to shrivel then petrify. Her bloodshot eyes almost popped out as she repeated monotonously.
"Ancestor… Ancestor…"
The Demigod who had guarded the Wang family for 200 years had fallen.
"ANCESTOR!!!"
Old Madame Wang knelt down.
"My Wang family admits defeat. I request Mr. Jiang to please act with leniency and leave out a way for my Wang family to survive."
All the people looked at Jiang Xiu as if he were a god, waiting for his judgment towards the Wang family.
"Sign all the assets under the Wang family to my name."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Thank you very much…"
The Wang family had received amnesty.
They weren't willing to give up 70% of the assets, and now, they had to offer all their properties and even act grateful.
The curtain had finally closed on the legend of Jiangnan's Wang family.
The gallery couldn't calm down for a long time. There was no doubt that only a few people were left in Jiangnan who could stand on equal footing with Jiang Luoxia. They believed that the news about the Wang family's Demigod dying would sweep past the entire country before long and even the world as it was too shocking for a Demigod to die under a youth's hand.
The martial arts circle would etch this name deep into their memory.
Jiang Luoxia.
"Mr. Jiang, will you still be looking at the tides?"
Tang Zhenshan couldn't contain his excitement.
"Of course!"
It would be a pity if such a spectacular scene weren't seen. Moreover, when Jiang Xiu had gone underwater, he felt that the rock where Wang Jianzhi leaned on was a bit strange. He wanted to make a trip down and investigate as that rock might be related to the Qian River's strange tides.
The feast proceeded quite quickly. It was initially a feast meant for the paying respects ceremony, but it had now become Jiang Xiu's victory feast.
"Mr. Jiang…"
"Mr. Jiang…"
All the power holders of Jiang City toasted to Jiang Xiu reverently and respectfully.
Outside the Bayview Platform, Cheng Lingsu looked at these big shots act like lowly servants in front of Jiang Xiu. Her eyes turned red, unable to endure any more, tears sliding down from her eyes due to the endless remorse.
"How can Jiang Xiu be Mr. Jiang?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Ye Wenchen and the others still couldn't comprehend that Jiang Xiu was Mr. Jiang. Or to say, they were not willing to believe it because they realized that they had lost a chance to achieve meteoric success in life. But none of them were willing to lay this bare as they had all sneered and vilified Jiang Xiu before.
It would instead be a great mercy if Jiang Xiu didn't come to find them for their previous behavior.
"Susu, why are you silent?"
"Let's leave, okay?" She replied.
They didn't have the qualifications to enter among those big shots as they had just come to watch by relying on Wen Zuolin.
An opportunity once missed is forever gone. There was no medicine which could cure regret.
"Let's go!"
They all felt quite downcast.
"Motherf*cker, that Jiang Xiu actually reversed his fate." Though Lin Shu cursed out, he still felt afraid. He had seen Jiang Xiu's methods clearly. Even the Wang family had lost to him. He wouldn't even need to act personally. Just a word from him and those big shots of Jiang City would serve at his beck and call.
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. It wasn't only him. A few of his companions also went pale, thinking similar thoughts. Their families all operated in Jiang City, and they were terrified of the possibility of becoming penniless.
"Will… we still be going out to have fun tomorrow?"
"I think we should go back home."
"I also want to go back."
Cheng Lingsu returned to her room in a muddle-headed state then took out her phone to call her mother. Sun Xiaohong felt quite happy receiving a call from her youngest daughter, "Susu, are you having fun at Hang City? Did you watch the tides?"
Cheng Lingsu had a bellyful of things she wanted to tell her mother, but she was left speechless after the call was answered. "It's fun. I watched the tides. It was a pretty nice scene."
Sun Xiaohong felt that her daughter's state wasn't normal, "Susu, what happened? Mama feels you're not happy at all."
"Did that brat Jiang Xiu provoke you again?"
"Your father is to blame for making him accompany you. I don't know what your father is thinking. We should've ended our relationship with their family long ago."
"Skill, character and background, none of them are enough to suit my Cheng family's second daughter."
Cheng Linsu stared at a blank sheet, yet her gaze was disorganized.
"Let's stop talking about him. Let me tell you some good news. Your father met Wang Xuetang from the Wang family while returning from abroad as they were sitting on the same plane. It seems like they even had a nice chat. Don't you think it's quite a chance? We actually got a link to the Wang family."
"Do you know the Wang family? It's Hang City's Wang family!"
"You children might not know about it, but the Wang family is a family with a heritage of 200 years. Although they aren't that famous in the business world, their name is quite well known among the upper-class of Jiangnan. It's a true traditional clan."
"It looks like our family's business will scale up again. I really hope your father can become the richest man in Jiang City one day."
Sun Xiaohong had fantasized the scene several times. Walking down the party aisle with the identity of being the wife of the wealthiest man in the city wasn't something that could be expressed in words.
"Your father would be a huge idiot if he still wants you to marry Jiang Xiu even after achieving such a status."
"Mom, I'm feeling quite tired, so I'm going to take rest now."
"Oh. Take rest then and be careful while going outside."
After ending the call, Cheng Lingsu walked towards the window. The most bustling area in the villa zone right now was the Bayview Pavilion. Bright lights were glowing there. Cheng Lingsu's mind was filled with Jiang Xiu's silhouette while she gazed there.
"Jiang Xiu, Mr. Jiang…"
"How can you be Mr. Jiang…"
She smashed the glass on the table to the ground, crushing it to pieces.
Then, she wept gloomily.
