Only then did Nan Tianxiong force down his rage. He jabbed a finger at Yu Jiang's nose and snarled, "Hah! You treacherous, ungrateful wretch—you actually dare come back? You've got nerve, I'll give you that! Fine. I searched for you long enough, and today you've delivered yourself right to my door!"
"Haha, if it isn't my two martial uncles, Nan Tianxiong and Nan Tianguan! It's been far too long!" Yu Jiang, utterly calm and unruffled, showed not the slightest sign of taking either of them seriously. Instead he laughed smugly and said, "Oh, that's right—I misspoke. You're not my martial uncles anymore, wahahaha!"
"Nonsense! As if we could ever have a treacherous wretch like you for a disciple!" Nan Tianxiong barked.
"You misunderstand, both of you. What I mean is—you aren't fit to be my martial uncles! Hahahaha!" Yu Jiang still wore that same smug, imperious expression, utterly unafraid and looking down on everything before him.
"You're asking for death!" Nan Tianxiong flew into a towering rage and was about to strike at Yu Jiang on the spot. Even if it meant suffering a heavy punishment, he was determined to teach this reckless wretch a proper lesson today!
After so many months, he had no idea why Yu Jiang had suddenly appeared, or why he dared strut about so brazenly right in front of the two of them—but whatever the reason, nothing could change the boy's essential nature as a posturing clown. With Nan Tianxiong's domineering temperament, how could he possibly tolerate having sand thrown in his eyes like this?
Yet just as Nan Tianxiong was about to throw caution to the wind and strike, Yu Jiang suddenly gave a cold smile, then violently unleashed his aura without the slightest reservation. It was unmistakably the early Golden Core stage!
The two sides stood mere steps apart. Nan Tianxiong and Nan Tianguan were caught completely off guard, frightened into stumbling back a pace, both of them turning pale with shock as they exchanged glances.
"You! You're actually at the early Golden Core stage! How is that possible?!" Nan Tianxiong said, his face a mask of disbelief.
He himself was at the early Golden Core stage as well, and a veteran of long standing at that—far stronger than an ordinary early Golden Core expert. Yet before this treacherous wretch Yu Jiang, he actually felt a sense of danger, one that made him shiver to the bone by pure instinct.
"Hehe, why shouldn't it be possible? And this is only the early Golden Core stage for now. Give me a little more time and I'll be even stronger than this!" Yu Jiang sneered smugly, an indescribable, towering confidence shining through his expression.
"Hmph! A petty man drunk on his own success!" Though Nan Tianxiong and Nan Tianguan were shocked to the core, they still demanded in low, heavy voices, "Where have you been all this time?"
"Why don't you guess?" Yu Jiang cast them a mocking glance and smirked. "Now that you mention it, I really ought to thank the two of you. If you hadn't wanted to slice me to pieces and offer me up as a living sacrifice, I never would have had such a stroke of fortune. Forgive my curiosity—I'd like to ask, how are the two of you feeling right now? Nervous and afraid? Or filled with regret? Hahaha!"
"Enough of your nonsense! If you've got the guts, don't run—get out there and fight me, old man to brat. I refuse to believe I can't deal with a cheap, posturing clown like you!" Nan Tianxiong roared, his fury blazing to the heavens.
Nan Tianguan had only the strength of peak Foundation Establishment and was no longer Yu Jiang's match—but Nan Tianxiong was another matter. Even though he had already sensed the threat Yu Jiang posed, he simply refused to believe that he could not kill this treacherous wretch!
No matter what crooked, unorthodox means Yu Jiang had used to make his strength explode so wildly, before a seasoned veteran of the early Golden Core stage like himself, the boy was nothing but a paper tiger in the end.
