Chapter 2320: Chapter 2321: Jiang Wei

Originally, Fang Lin felt some camaraderie with Jiang Wei, as if they were both wanderers at the end of the world.

But now, seeing him so subservient to Jin Yuwen, Fang Lin’s gaze turned even more disdainful.

"What a fool, doesn’t he know his own strength?"

Fang Lin snorted disdainfully, his gaze lowered, and began to deal with the enemies on the field.

The creature before him was incredibly challenging; it wasn’t something one could simply walk away from.

The brief exchange with Jiang Wei was in the hope that they could escape together, helping whoever could make it out.

But that certainly didn’t include Jin Yuwen. The Fang and Jin families also had grudges, and Fang Lin wasn’t going to be so magnanimous, much less as foolish as Jiang Wei, marrying his daughter into the Jin family for temporary peace. Such conduct was beneath him.

So, seeing Jiang Wei’s demeanor, Fang Lin was naturally angry, snorting coldly, he stepped back, his disdain palpable.

Jiang Wei, avoiding another attack, slightly bent over, breathing heavily, felt resigned. But what could he do?

"In a moment, I’ll tear a gap here, so you can get out as fast as you can!"

After a light sigh, Jiang Wei lifted his gaze; though resigned, he must do what must be done. His expression was solemn. After speaking to Jin Yuwen at his side, he looked at the towering monster ahead.

The monster was indeed powerful, but with enough strength in their attacks, they could still inflict some wounds on these creatures.

Though these wounds wouldn’t be enough to defeat them, they might create an opportunity.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

Jin Yuwen was secretly delighted; his strength hadn’t been greatly depleted. Once he escaped, the Spiritual Energy he had preserved was enough for his escape.

"Hope he’ll treat my Jiang family well."

Jiang Wei sighed again, his depletion was severe, and his Dantian’s Spiritual Energy was nearly exhausted. That was why he agreed to help Jin Yuwen.

For him, escaping was extremely difficult now, but helping one person escape wasn’t impossible.

Helping Jin Yuwen was a hope that, after escaping, he would remember this favor and refrain from oppressing the Jiang family.

Heh!

Jiang Wei stood up; the little Spiritual Energy left in his Dantian was rapidly mobilized as he rose. His arms suddenly emitted a jade-like glow, coating his arms and clothing in a light cyan hue, shimmering and translucent.

"You’re risking your life!"

Feeling the change in the air, Fang Lin’s eyes revealed shock; he turned to look at Jiang Wei. Seeing his jade-like arm, his face showed sudden alarm, and he shouted loudly.

This was a family-heritage spiritual technique of the Jiang family, called the Jade Dragon Hand, consuming enormous Spiritual Energy, beyond the reach of anyone below the Spirit Pill’s fifth stage.

Originally, it wasn’t an issue for Jiang Wei to use this technique, as he was already a ninth-stage Spirit Pill practitioner.

But now it was different. Jiang Wei’s Spiritual Energy was too depleted, while this technique consumed so much that he couldn’t keep up with the energy demand, risking backlash!

No wonder Fang Lin was shocked and shouted.

But he could only yell; then, he couldn’t afford to be distracted as the monsters lunged at him again, forcing him to quickly refocus on the enemies ahead.

And Jiang Wei was no different.

His expression darkened. Before him stood a figure of three meters tall, its punch sweeping to one side, where a few strangers who came seeking treasures were.

Its other thick, long arm reached forward, aiming its clenched fist in Jiang Wei’s direction.

Jiang Wei’s eyes remained calm, with green Spiritual Energy flickering along his arms, expanding them considerably.

At the same time, his face grew grimmer; the energy depletion was evident, leaving him pale.

Facing the monster’s powerful blow, Jiang Wei’s face betrayed no emotion. His jade arm began lifting slowly, as though it weighed a thousand pounds, rising barely half a meter before he was gasping for air.

In front of him, Jin Yuwen watched the scene with hidden glee and no other emotion. Cautiously, he hid behind Jiang Wei, not panicking at the descending monster fist, only slightly anxious as he looked at his back.

He waited, ready to escape when Jiang Wei clashed with the monster.

Jiang Wei, always dodging the creature’s attacks in battle, now seemed to have no intention to evade, as if his mind was made up.

As the creature’s punch was about to fall, in a flash, Jiang Wei’s jade arm rose to meet it.

With a loud bang, the collision emitted a violent shockwave, sweeping around like a storm, leaves rustling, sand crunching.

At that moment, Jiang Wei’s arm showed no less strength than the monster’s savage blow!

His arm stood firm like a towering Gao Shan, though the jade color dulled, marred by cracks.

A brief red flush appeared on Jiang Wei’s pale face—a sign of lighting before the dusk. He spat a mouthful of blood, and the red quickly faded, leaving only pallor.

"Go!"

Jiang Wei gritted his teeth, struggling to speak.

He directed this to Jin Yuwen, yet before the words fully left his lips, Jin Yuwen was already in mid-leap, darting out, not needing Jiang Wei’s reminder.

"Hope you remember this favor."

Under immense pressure, Jiang Wei couldn’t utter another word, only hoping in his heart—this was his reason for acting.

More cracks spread across his arm, the result of the monster’s relentless pressure. Jiang Wei’s body was at its limit, his arm ready to shatter any moment. He knew he wouldn’t last much longer.

In the distance, about a hundred meters, was another figure cloaked in black robes, no better off.

Head bowed, only a pair of aged, withered hands were visible, trembling as they were clasped before his chest.

It was evident that the force from the clash between his controlled monster and Jiang Wei was to blame.
