Chapter 49: There is No Regret Medicine in This World

At the entrance of the Xingfeng Sect.

Jiang Yaotian and four elders were waiting here.

Jiang Yaotian’s face was filled with confusion; it had been two full hours since Jiang Hong entered the Xingfeng Sect.

Yet, she had not returned even now, giving him a bad premonition.

"Patriarch, if we do not attack the Xingfeng Sect before dawn, the other families in Liuyang Town will surely send people to investigate. That will cause trouble," one of the elders reminded him.

The Jiang family's action this time was very sudden, and the families of Liuyang Town had not yet reacted.

If they could not seize the Xingfeng Sect immediately, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from other families.

For a massive clan like the Jiang family to mobilize so many people to deal with a small power—it was problematic just thinking about it.

Jiang Yaotian pondered for a moment and said, "Go in and scout first. Be careful."

He intended to go and take a look himself; it was too abnormal for Jiang Hong to have been inside for so long without returning.

However, just as Jiang Yaotian was about to lead his men into the Xingfeng Sect, he suddenly discovered a person standing at the entrance.

They hadn't even noticed when this person had appeared.

The individual simply stood there, watching them quietly.

Hiding in a tree in the distance, Jiang Chen immediately recognized the newcomer and shouted, "Father, it's that Chen Feng!"

Hearing Chen Feng's name, Jiang Yaotian's eyes narrowed as he stared at the distant figure.

"You are that Chen Feng?" Jiang Yaotian became even more confused. If Chen Feng was here, then where was his sister, Jiang Hong?

Chen Feng said with a smile, "You seem quite surprised to see me. Is she the one you want to see?"

As Chen Feng spoke, Wang Hu and the other Xingfeng Sect martial artists also ran out from within the sect, standing beside Chen Feng.

In Wang Hu's hand, he was carrying a charred person.

Most of this person's body surface was covered in blackened, hardened skin, as if wrapped in a layer of carbonized shell.

In some places, the skin had burned off, revealing the deep red fleshy tissue underneath, looking exceptionally terrifying.

Jiang Yaotian's gaze immediately shifted to the person held in Wang Hu's hand, but he did not recognize who it was at first.

"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Yaotian became alert.

He had a bad feeling.

At that moment, the person held by Wang Hu let out a weak voice: "Big brother... our Jiang family is finished..."

Jiang Hong had already accepted her fate; she knew the Jiang family could not be saved.

At the end of the day, the Jiang family was merely a martial arts clan; how could they possibly be a match for a cultivator? As long as Chen Feng used the same flame he had used against her before, no Xiantian expert of the Jiang family could withstand it.

Hearing that familiar voice, the expressions of the Jiang family members changed instantly.

"Sister Hong!"

"Grandmaster!"

"Aunt!"

The members of the Jiang family all showed expressions of shock.

From the voice, they could tell that the person being held by Wang Hu was indeed Jiang Hong.

But this result was unbelievable.

Jiang Hong was a Transformation Realm expert! How could she end up in such a miserable state?

In their hearts, the Transformation Realm was almost an invincible existence; how many Transformation Realm experts were there in the entire State of Yue?

A chill rose in the hearts of the Jiang family members.

Their Jiang family had gathered so many martial artists to attack the Xingfeng Sect, and it looked as though they were about to wipe it out.

Yet, at this very moment, their strongest combat power had ended up like this.

This sudden drop from heaven to hell was difficult for them to accept for a moment.

The Jiang family members felt as if it were all unreal.

Jiang Chen also ran down from the tree, looking at the charred Jiang Hong with a face full of horror: "Aunt, you are a Transformation Realm expert! How could you lose to them? How is this possible!"

Jiang Chen was completely distraught, his entire being in a state of madness.

In his heart, his aunt was an invincible existence, his greatest pillar for the future.

How could a tiny Xingfeng Sect defeat his aunt?

Facing Jiang Chen's questioning, Jiang Hong said nothing and simply closed her eyes.

Jiang Yaotian took a deep breath, looked at Chen Feng, and said

"Sect Leader Chen, this matter is the fault of our Jiang family. If we had known Sect Leader Chen possessed such capability, even if you gave the Jiang family ten times the courage, we wouldn't have dared to oppose the Xingfeng Sect. How about we let this pass? My Jiang family is willing to provide compensation."

"No matter what conditions Sect Leader Chen sets, my Jiang family can agree to them. My sister, Hong, is a commander of the Imperial City. If the Imperial City learns of this, it will not be good for either of our families."

As the patriarch, Jiang Yaotian maintained his composure.

At this moment, he knew the Jiang family had lost.

They had vastly underestimated the Xingfeng Sect and underestimated Chen Feng.

The only thing they could do now was negotiate. Although Jiang Hong had fallen, the Jiang family still had over a thousand martial artists.

At the same time, Jiang Hong held a status within the Imperial City.

If the Jiang family fought to the death, even if the Xingfeng Sect wasn't destroyed, more than ninety percent of their people would die.

Chen Feng ignored Jiang Yaotian's words entirely. When these people were dealing with him, why hadn't they thought about letting him go?

Now that they saw the situation was unfavorable, they immediately softened. But there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world.

If he hadn't rushed back to the Xingfeng Sect in time, Wang Hu and the others would likely have died.

Chen Feng waved his hand at Wang Hu and the others.

Wang Hu and the dozen or so martial artists immediately understood, taking out yellow C4 explosives from their persons.

Without hesitation, the dozen or so people threw the C4 explosives toward Jiang Yaotian and the others.

A distance of dozens of meters was an easy throw for martial artists like Wang Hu.

They didn't know what these things were; Chen Feng had simply handed them to them earlier and told them to throw them out later.

Jiang Yaotian and the others were momentarily stunned when they saw the objects being thrown. Although they didn't know what the yellow objects were, they instinctively circulated their Astral Qi to defend themselves.

However, before the dozen pieces of C4 could even hit the ground, Chen Feng pressed the remote detonator in his hand.

The moment the button was pressed, the dozen C4 charges exploded in mid-air.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!* The shockwaves and flames produced by the explosions instantly engulfed Jiang Yaotian and the others.

The people on the field felt only a ringing in their ears and the intense heat of the blast wave brushing against their cheeks.

A few seconds later, the explosions ceased, and the residual smoke drifted across the field.

Everyone stared in horror at the area where the explosion had occurred.

Despite the smoke, the vision of martial artists was far superior to ordinary people, and they all saw the scene within the blast zone.

The figures of the Jiang family members were gone; the ground was covered only in burning scraps of flesh.

The only one whose body was somewhat intact was Jiang Yaotian, but even he was left with only his upper torso.

The other four elders of the Jiang family, including Jiang Chen, were all gone.

Jiang Yaotian, left with only half a body, had a face full of terror.

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The shockwave from the explosion had directly shattered his Astral Qi; he was only hanging on by a final breath.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yaotian also collapsed.

Until the moment of his death, Jiang Yaotian did not understand how those yellow objects could produce such immense power.

"They didn't even try to dodge. Their heads are truly made of iron."

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the power of the C4. It was indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, he only had two crates.

If he had more, he could just send people to throw C4 whenever trouble arose in the future.

The field was now deathly silent. The martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

Although Chen Feng's appearance earlier had given everyone great confidence and hope, they were still worried about whether he could handle several Xiantian experts from the Jiang family.

Yet, the reality was that their Sect Leader had simply had Wang Hu and the others throw some things, and he had directly wiped out the Jiang family's Xiantian experts.

Those were five Xiantian experts, including one at the Great Perfection stage.

What kind of divine method was this?
