Chapter 83
The gallery standing behind Jiang Xiu became rattled while the Wang family's Elder glared at him, "Why don't you just ask for all our industries then?"
Though it was a family with a heritage of 200 years and towered over Jiangnan, the reason they didn't pay attention to money was that they had a lot of industries and didn't lack money. However, if there was no money, it'd be difficult for the family to sustain itself. By asking them to transfer the shares, Jiang Xiu was attacking right at their Wang family's lifeline.
"You're saying you don't want to do it then?"
"Mr. Jiang's cultivation is really respectable. My Wang family wants to make peace with you, but your requests are too excessive."
"This Deity wasn't consulting you but rather ordering you."
The killing aura had once again descended and engulfed them.
One of the other older generation experts sneered, "You're too arrogant, brat! Old Three, what are you waiting for, we can't forgive him after he has killed so many children of our Wang family."
"Brat, don't think you are hot sh*t just cause you've cultivated to this level. You're in the peak of the Supreme Stage at most. If I haven't seen it wrong, you only used an Ancient Sword Art just now." He was confident in his judgment, "You're too naïve if you think my Wang family can't do anything to you."
"Although our Wang family has a martial arts heritage, one of our ancestors had been a Grand Shaman…"
This man was around 60 years old and wore a black robe which made him look very refined, distinguishing himself from the other members. As soon as he explained it, everyone understood that this man was no ordinary character.
He was the Wang family's Wang Yidao.
A top-grade Shaman hiding in the clan.
He made a solemn face and used his spell, causing a flame to appear at his hand. It was the size of a basketball and caused the air surrounding it to twist due to the heat.
Holding that flame ball, he really appeared like a flame-wielding God.
Everyone was stunned. They had never seen something like this. It was too godly. Even the Wang family children had never witnessed this, let alone the people outside. Wang Xintong closed her mouth with her hand to stop herself from exclaiming. Today, she had finally seen a genuine Shaman.
"You believe you can do whatever you want at the Wang family?"
Wang Yidao's aura soared as the flame turned brighter. The flame grew larger with each step he took forwards.
The flame had already reached a diameter of 1 meter.
"Commoner, why aren't you kneeling?"
"Do you want a taste of my Divine Flame?"
A cold glint flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes. He neither retreated nor advanced and waited as the enemy closed in step after step, wearing a smile which didn't seem like a smile.
"You're courting death!"
Wang Yidao changed the hand seal and pointed it towards Jiang Xiu, causing the flame to dash towards Jiang Xiu weirdly as if it was extending infinitely, it rushed out after transforming into a flame dragon.
This move revealed how deep his cultivation was. He had already reached the mid-stages of Foundation Establishment, far above Little Master Teacher and the other shamans. This was the reason the Wang family enjoyed such fame.
The flame blazed at a high temperature and went berserk. One hit from this was enough to burn the flesh into ashes.
"Too formidable!"
"The Wang family indeed deserves its fame!"
Whoever wished to oppose the Wang family must always consider their cards before doing so or else they'd have a miserable end.
"Little tricks, that's all."
Disdain filled Jiang Xiu's eyes. Under everyone's dumbstruck gazes, he made a grabbing motion with his hand. The flame dragon got pulled into his palm then disappeared while leaving fire sparks.
Wang Yidao's flame was as thick as a big tree and enough to explode a small house into pieces, enough firepower to match a grenade but it was taken care of so easily.
"Void Hand Art!?"
Wang Yidao's eyes popped out as he screamed.
"How is this possible!?"
This was a Demigod technique that he had seen in the books left behind by the ancestor. A few Demigods could only accomplish this and with great difficulty. Only genuine Gods could use it so easily as if it was an instinct to them.
Even the others were shocked.
"This…"
This was just the beginning. Jiang Xiu turned his palm, and a flame rushed out from there. The flame he had absorbed into his palm was released out again, seeming more ferocious and intense.
The angry flame dragon blitzed towards the sky and danced before targeting Wang Yidao.
"Rooooaarrr!"
It even released a frightening dragon cry.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Wang Yidao moved his hand in a great rush to stop the flame dragon after watching it dash towards himself. If his flame could explode a small house then Jiang Xiu's flame was sufficient to blast a big house to smithereens.
Naturally, its power wasn't something Wang Yidao could imagine. In an instant, he had burned down to ashes, leaving behind only a charred mark in the shape of a human when the flame dragon disappeared.
Nothing had remained!
This was truly shocking.
This flame's temperature was too high and its might great, similar to the legends.
"D-Demigod?!"
The Wang family's Elder stuttered. Though he didn't know what kinds of existences Demigods were, he knew that the flame which Jiang Xiu had produced wasn't something that humans could use.
No one could remain calm and collected while looking at this man now.
Jiang City's Jiang Luoxia's godly skills were finally revealed.
Jiang Xiu looked at the Wang family's Elder with interest, "How's this gift?"
The Elder's mouth twitched and his expression turned ugly.
Didn't you want to pressure me to come and pay respects?
I'm here now!
Only, you won't be able to bear the consequences.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait a while. This gift is too big. I have to consult with my family head."
"As for the matter of transferring 70% of the Wang family's shares, I shall bring an answer for that too."
Jiang Xiu shook his head, "Wrong, not 70% but rather 80%."
He had increased it by 10% due to this one exchange. It was indeed ruthless. The Wang family members were incomparably enraged.
"You…"
He didn't say anything else because he knew that if he spoke any more nonsense, Jiang Xiu would increase it again.
"Alright, wait here…"
The Elder, Wang Xuesong entered the inner courtyard. The place was in chaos after hearing this news, and Wang Xuehai convened an elder's meeting immediately.
"70%, he must have gone insane, right?"
"Who does he think he is?"
"There's no need for any words, Family Head. Gather all the experts of our Wang family. We have so many Shamans and Grandmasters. I don't believe we can't handle this insignificant Jiang Luoxia if we all attack him together."
Since their Lord was to fight, they'd fight together with him.
"The problem is that it's possible Jiang Luoxia is a Demigod. Is our Wang family going to make an enemy out of a Demigod?"
"He just wants money so we should give it to him."
One of the Elders who had an aggressive character commented, "You're still thinking about the money? This is a matter of our Wang family's face. What face will we have left if we allow someone to climb over our heads?"
"Keeping all this aside, he has killed brother Wang Yidao. If the Wang family just bears it and does nothing, no one in Jiangnan will give importance to us anymore."
A man sitting in a higher seat gave his opinion, "Everyone, calm down a bit! We shall follow the decision of the Old Madame and the Family Head."
The Family Head was none other than Wang Xuehai but he also had an old mother. That elderly lady's hair was completely grey, appeared to be around 100 years old but she still had great vitality and could walk around without anyone's support.
She muttered to her herself before stating, "This Old Lady had also seen a Demigod before. Their skills are otherworldly, and they possess inhumane abilities. The Demigods do as they wish and don't even put the country before their eyes. However, the man you spoke of is only a 20-year-old youth. It isn't possible for such a young person to reach the Demigod stage yet he has killed 30 people of our Wang family. There were seven Grandmasters among them and even Wang Yidao got killed…"
"It doesn't matter whether he is the Demigod or not. Our Wang family's Divine Sustenance Gate will definitely widen his horizons…"
"Pass my order, open the gate…"
"to welcome the guest…"
All the elders were shocked. The Divine Sustenance Gate wasn't opened even when Gu Shu had arrived. It hadn't opened in the last 60 years and now, it was being opened for a brat who's still wet behind his ears.
"BANG!"
Glass and wood shavings exploded inside and frightened the people inside the Inner Hall.
A disciple came in running, "No good, Jiang Luoxia is storming his way in."
