Jiang Wang was indeed very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between himself and Xiao Lingyu.
Just as Jiang Wang was about to deliver a fatal blow to Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu suddenly stopped and turned around to throw a punch.
Jiang Wang hurriedly raised his sword to block, but was knocked back by Xiao Lingyu's punch.
Xiao Lingyu did not continue his attack, but asked indifferently, "Why did you call your grandfather Jiang Yun'er just now?"
Jiang Wang sneered, did not answer, and pounced on Xiao Lingyu again.
Xiao Lingyu also went to meet them, carrying an iron bar.
Jiang Wang's attacks were fierce, but Xiao Lingyu could always predict his attack trajectory and avoid them precisely.
Xiao Lingyu did not use the spirit puppet or the nine-clawed dragon because he was worried that his chances of winning were low.
Even so, Jiang Wang still dared not confront Xiao Lingyu head-on. He simply relied on his speed to circle around Xiao Lingyu and wait for an opportunity to attack.
Xiao Lingyu avoided close combat with Jiang Wang, determined not to give Jiang Wang a chance to launch a sneak attack.
The two fought and went deeper into the forest, destroying every tree they encountered.
Both of them were very fast, and even when they occasionally encountered some demonic beasts and birds, they had difficulty getting close. That's why Xiao Lingyu felt safe to use his supernatural powers.
Jiang Wang was initially full of confidence, thinking he could easily kill Xiao Lingyu, but his patience gradually ran out because he felt his attack power was getting weaker and weaker, while Xiao Lingyu seemed to have inexhaustible strength.
"No, if this continues, I'll definitely give out first. I have to get out of here quickly."
Just as Xiao Lingyu launched another attack, Jiang Wang suddenly turned and fled.
Knowing that Jiang Wang had run out of tricks, Xiao Lingyu immediately gave chase without hesitation.
They chased and fled for thousands of miles.
Jiang Wang led the way, and after passing through several mountain ranges, they finally arrived at the edge of a valley.
Xiao Lingyu also saw that Jiang Wang's cultivation aura, after a brief weakening, had returned to the peak of the Profound Realm.
"Heh heh, your time to die has come!"
Jiang Wang gripped the silver longsword, a sinister smile playing on his lips, before leaping into the valley.
Xiao Lingyu was naturally not afraid and jumped into the valley.
The valley was very quiet; apart from the occasional chirping of insects and birds, there was no other noise.
Although Jiang Wang's cultivation level had dropped, he was still a high-level Xuanji expert. Even with his cultivation level suppressed, his aura was still formidable. His aura enveloped the entire valley, making it appear unusually eerie and quiet.
Soon after, intense killing intent emanated from Jiang Wang's body, causing the temperature in the valley to drop sharply.
Deep in the valley, on an ancient and weathered stone platform, sat cross-legged an old man with white hair and a youthful face, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom. His cloudy eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he stroked a gray-brown boulder in front of him, silently observing the situation outside the valley.
The old man's name was Jiang Yun'er. He was Jiang Wang's grandfather and an elder of the Jiang family. His cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Earth Realm, making him one of the top experts in the Jiang family.
When Jiang Yun'er discovered that Xiao Lingyu had entered the valley, he opened his slightly closed eyes and slowly got up.
Jiang Yun'er walked steadily and slowly down the gray-brown boulder, strolling towards the entrance of the valley.
"grandfather!"
Upon seeing Jiang Yun'er, Jiang Wang's face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed and knelt down.
Jiang Yun'er nodded, then glanced at Jiang Wang and said, "You've disgraced the Jiang family. You can't even handle a junior at the Profound King stage?"
After saying this, Jiang Yun'er looked at Xiao Lingyu.
"Senior Jiang, your grandson is shameless and despicable. I beg you to lend a hand," Xiao Lingyu said, clasping his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Oh? How is my grandson shameless and despicable? I think he is very handsome, rich, and a talented person!" Jiang Yun'er said, squinting her eyes.
Jiang Wang said awkwardly, "Grandpa, don't listen to his nonsense, he's here to cause trouble."
Xiao Lingyu curled his lip and said, "It was clearly your Jiang family who sent people to kill members of the Jiang clan, so how did it become me coming to cause trouble?"
Jiang Wang glared at him and shouted, "Don't you dare make false accusations! Our Jiang family has always been known for its benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, filial piety, loyalty, and integrity. We would never do such a despicable thing."
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and sighed, "Jiang Wang, you are truly shameless. Without evidence, who would dare to offend the dignity of a noble family? Do you think I'm so bored that I would deliberately come to this desolate wilderness to die?"
Jiang Wang chuckled twice and said, "If you have evidence, why did you come? You're clearly just too scared to come!"
Xiao Lingyu retorted, "You're wrong. I dared to come only because your cultivation level has dropped, and I believe I have enough confidence to take your dog's life."
Jiang Wang scoffed, "My cultivation has dropped, but I should still be able to kill you. Besides, don't you have any helpers?"
Xiao Lingyu said disdainfully, "You're not qualified to make me bring any help!"
Jiang Wang snorted coldly, then suddenly turned and flew away.
Jiang Wang did not choose to flee, but after getting some distance away from Xiao Lingyu, he turned back.
Jiang Wang didn't seem to want to confront Xiao Lingyu head-on, so he chose to take a roundabout approach.
As he walked around, he had already placed his arm on his chest.
Xiao Lingyu kept a close eye on Jiang Wang's back, afraid that Jiang Wang would try something funny.
Jiang Wang circled around, making hand seals as he went.
After a moment, Jiang Wang stopped making hand seals and then slapped his palm to the left.
boom--
A loud explosion rang out, and a towering flame shot up, instantly engulfing Jiang Wang and swallowing Xiao Lingyu.
The flames were terrifying; they could even melt spatial ripples. Even the top experts in the Void God Realm dared not approach rashly.
Jiang Wang stood outside the flames, opened his mouth, and spat out a bead the size of a thumb, with runes flowing across its surface.
The bead emitted a dazzling beam of light, illuminating the towering flames.
In an instant, the towering flames went out.
"Haha... My Jiang family has a treasure to protect our clan. How could you, a little thief, possibly shake it!" Jiang Wang laughed wildly, then leaped and flew to Jiang Yun'er's side.
Jiang Yun'er's gaze also fell on the bead.
Xiao Lingyu was burned beyond recognition, his clothes were tattered, and he lay on the ground in a sorry state.
"Senior Jiang Yun'er, please don't listen to Jiang Wang's nonsense. He's deliberately framing the Jiang family," Xiao Lingyu explained urgently.
"Hehe, there's no need to frame my Jiang family, just frame you," Jiang Yun'er said with a smile.
"Senior Jiang Yun'er, I don't understand what you mean," Xiao Lingyu said bitterly.
“If you didn’t harbor resentment towards our Jiang family, how would you know that our Jiang family is searching for a rare item? You’ve come here for revenge,” Jiang Yun’er said, narrowing her eyes.
