''Hehe, Tang Wu, you really are growing more and more arrogant the older you get! I wonder... what would happen to your Tang dynasty if you suddenly died today?''
The middle-aged man above the city gates walked calmly towards Shun Long's group, standing right in front of them and facing the golden-robed old man from the Tang dynasty with an uncaring look on his face, almost as if he wasn't facing the ruler of the Blue star continent, but an ordinary old man!
The golden-robed old man, Tang Wu, stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with a shocked gaze, before he asked in a disbelieving voice a moment later
''Jiang... Tianfang?''
The middle-aged man only had a single left arm that was holding what seemed to be an ordinary-looking saber, before he turned around and looked at Shun Long and the rest with a gentle smile on his face, completely ignoring the previously furious Dao Emperor of the Tang dynasty, Tang Wu.
''Father!''
Jiang Chen called out with a smile on his face, and yet amidst the warmth and pride that he felt, a hint of pain could also be seen deep in his eyes as he stared at his father's missing right arm.
For as long as he remembered his father's right arm was always missing, but it was only a year before he participated in the Holy sect's test that Jiang Chen had found out that his father's arm was personally chopped off by the Elder of the Yu family!
Shun Long and the rest all understood what was going on when they saw the resemblance between the middle-aged man's face who had appeared in front of them and Jiang Chen's.
At the same time, everyone had heard Jiang Chen's and they clearly remembered that he had mentioned how his father's arm was chopped off by an Elder of the Yu family who made sure that he wouldn't be able to regrow it in the future.
Naturally, how could they not understand who the middle-aged man in front of them was?
At the same time, Little Black's voice resounded inside Shun Long's mind a moment later, as Little Black said seriously
''Master, this guy is a late-stage Dao Emperor but his aura is extremely weak. However, he should still be strong enough to kill the old fart in front of him if he wants to.''
Shun Long was stunned when he heard Little Black's words as he then stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with a curious look in his eyes.
The face of the Dao Emperor of the Tang dynasty had instantly turned paled when he heard Jiang Chen calling Jiang Tianfang 'father', but Jiang Tianfang simply smiled at his son, and after his eyes inspected Shun Long and the rest seriously for a few moments, Jiang Tianfang then turned around and looked at the golden-robed old man of the Tang dynasty coldly before he said
''Tang Wu, why don't you try and kill my son in front of me?''
Tang Wu's face turned livid when he heard this, but after he stared at Jiang Tianfang for a few moments, the golden-robed old man took a deep breath and said angrily
''Jiang Tianfang, do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't push me! Those little bastards killed my great-grandson inside my own palace. Do you think I will just let this go?
Of course, if this was the 'great Jiang Tianfang' from the past, the one who roamed around the central region and spread his name throughout the entire world, then naturally, I wouldn't dare to fight you.
But now, the you who only has a single arm left and your dantian almost crippled, hehe I am not sure if you are really strong enough to fight me!''
The more Tang Wu spoke, the more confidence he seemed to obtain, to the point where he seemed completely unafraid of the middle-aged man in front of him.
And yet, Jiang Tianfang didn't seem angry as he simply shook his head, and holding the ordinary-looking saber in his left hand he said
''Tang Wu, even if I am injured, do you think that a weakling like you who has already reached the end of your lifespan can fight against me? Let me show you the difference between us then!''
As he finished speaking Jiang Tianfang raised his left hand, causing the saber in his hand to lit up with a blinding light before a terrifying aura erupted from his body!
The look inside Jiang Tianfang's eyes was calm, without the slightest hints of anger inside it, and with his eyes focused on Tang Wu, he casually swung his saber downwards.
The entire Tang city seemed to have fallen silent at that moment, as an ordinary-looking silver slash appeared from Jiang Tianfang's saber, before it cut through the air heading towards Tang Wu.
Sensing the aura of a late-stage Dao Emperor erupting from Jiang Tianfang's body, the look on Tang Wu's face immediately changed, as he held his golden sword in front of him with both of his hands and shouted
''Jiang Tianfang, let's see which of us is stronger then! A nearly crippled brat like you should learn your place!''
Taking a deep breath, Tang Wu then mumbled to himself
''Saint middle-grade martial skill, Cloud sword!''
His aura instantly erupted, before runes and patterns on the surface of his golden sword started to light up one after the other.
It was obvious that Tang Wu's sword was also a star-rank weapon!
Tang Wu didn't hold back as he slashed the golden sword in his hands sideways, creating a gigantic sword slash that looked like it could cleave the earth apart, as it collided with Jiang Tianfang's saber slash a moment later!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The entire Tang city shook as soon as Jiang Tianfang's saber slash and Tang Wu's sword slash collided, before Tang Wu's eyes finally widened in fear.
His powerful Saint middle-grade martial skill had only managed to last for a single second before it was overpowered by Jiang Tianfang's saber slash.
The ordinary-looking slash wasn't slowed down in the slightest as it continued forward, colliding with Tang Wu's golden sword head-on!
Without any suspense, the golden-robed Dao Emperor of the Tang dynasty was sent flying backwards like a meteor before he crashed inside the depths of his own royal palace, destroying a large part of the palace in the process.
And yet, the bystanders on the streets and those inside the surrounding shops hadn't seen anything, since the moment that Tang Wu had appeared in the sky above Tang city and had pressured everyone with his aura of a Dao Emperor, everyone had immediately fallen on their knees due to their fear.
With a calm look on his face, Jiang Tianfang turned his gaze towards the royal palace of the Tang dynasty in the distance, before he spoke in a calm yet loud voice, that reverberated throughout the entire Tang city
''Tang Wu, remember this. If you or anyone else from your Tang family dares to touch my, Jiang Tianfang's son in the future, I will raze your entire Tang dynasty to the ground!''
The entire palace of the Tang dynasty had already been alerted by the first silver slash that had instnatly destroyed the protective formations around the palace walls and had even destroyed a big part of the palace itself.
After seeing that a figure was sent flying towards the palace, everyone inside the palace had been placed on full alert, almost as if they were being attacked.
And yet, the moment that they heard Jiang Tianfang's words and saw the golden-robed old man who was sent flying back inside the palace, the entire royal palace had instantly fallen silent.
Even if other people in the Blue star continent didn't know about it, how could the members of the royal family not know of Tang Wu's name and face?
Seeing the golden-robed old man who was struggling to stand up on his own 2 feet, nobody dared to even breathe loudly, as they all stared at the figure of the middle-aged man who was standing in the sky 200 meters away from the city gates with gazes filled with fear.
Jiang Tianfang no longer paid any attention to Tang Wu or the half-ruined palace of the Tang dynasty, almost as if it had nothing to do with him any longer, as he turned his attention towards Jiang Chen and the rest and smiled, before he waved his right sleeve.
In the next moment, Jiang Tianfang and Shun Long's group of 5, all disappeared from Tang city.
