Jiang Chen's palm struck with incredible force.
Jiang Qianhe, already gravely injured, had no time to react before he was sent flying again by Jiang Chen's powerful blow.
Bang!
The impact threw Jiang Qianhe several feet away, crashing hard onto the stone platform. He struggled to get up, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Chen's gaze was ice-cold as he approached. In a flash, he was in front of Jiang Qianhe, and without hesitation, he stomped hard on his chest.
Puff!
Jiang Qianhe screamed, blood spurting uncontrollably from his mouth.
"Old dog," Jiang Chen's voice echoed coldly, his foot firmly pressing down. "Do you acknowledge me as the head of the Jiang family, or not?"
"I... I concede!" Jiang Qianhe stammered, his voice filled with fear. He had never imagined that Jiang Chen's strength could be so terrifying.
As a grand elder of the Jiang family, and a warrior at the seventh level of the Qi Protection Realm, he was utterly powerless against Jiang Chen.
The entire square fell into a stunned silence.
Everyone watched in disbelief as Jiang Chen, once dismissed as a failure, now stood victorious over Jiang Qianhe—the powerful elder of the Jiang family.
This was the same Jiang Chen whom Cangshan City had long ridiculed as worthless. Yet, now he had transformed into a formidable warrior, effortlessly defeating someone as strong as Jiang Qianhe.
It was almost too wild to believe.
"Master Chen... when did he become this powerful?" Jiang Kui's eyes widened in shock. He had never imagined that Jiang Chen could defeat Jiang Qianhe so easily.
Before their return to Cangshan City, Jiang Kui had doubted that Jiang Chen could deal with Jiang Qianhe at all. Yet, Jiang Chen had turned the impossible into reality. In just a short time, he had gone from a Body Tempering Realm "failure" to someone capable of defeating a seasoned Qi Protection Realm warrior.
"This talent... This strength... Incredible!"
On the high platform, even Meng Qingxue's eyes were filled with astonishment. She hadn't expected Jiang Chen's strength to be this formidable.
This was the same person who had identified her Supreme Yin Destiny Body at a glance.
This was the same person whose skill in alchemy had impressed even Yan Qingxuan, a sixth-rank alchemist.
Now, he had proven his martial talent to be just as extraordinary.
"How many secrets are you hiding, Jiang Chen?" Meng Qingxue wondered silently, her heart pounding.
---
Jiang Qianhe's attempt to seize control of the Jiang family had failed spectacularly. His power crumbled the moment Jiang Chen returned.
Under Jiang Chen's leadership, Jiang Kui was promoted to the position of elder and became his trusted representative within the Jiang family.
Word of Jiang Chen's victory spread like wildfire throughout Cangshan City. Overnight, his name became a sensation. The "waste" of the Jiang family had defied all expectations and risen to prominence, becoming a force to be reckoned with.
His talent and strength now surpassed even Lin Yu, long regarded as the first genius of Cangshan city.
There was no longer any doubt, Jiang Chen was now the undisputed leader of the younger generation in Cangshan City.
