Chapter Four: Forging Strength Through Mortal Battles

his younger sister still couldn't beat the unknown Jiang Yun!If he doesn't show up, then there is no doubt that Fang Ruolin will definitely receive a good scolding from Jiang Yun today."Hello, Fang Sh...By now, even if the villagers of Jiang were in a hurry, there was nothing they could do to stop the two from competing. After all, the rules of Mangshan must not be broken.

However, when they saw Jiang Wanli who remained silent and expressionless, even at this moment, one by one their hearts finally felt a little more at ease.

For Ginger Cloud as an ordinary person, how much strength he possesses is not known to the people of Ginger Village.

After all, Ginger Cloud spent most of his time in the village identifying herbs and refining pills. He had never fought anyone before, and his companions, because Ginger Cloud couldn't cultivate, wouldn't proactively seek him out for sparring to avoid hurting his pride.

Therefore, if anyone knows Ginger Yun best, it must be Ginger Wanli.

Since Ginger is so calm, it must mean he has confidence in Ginger Cloud.

However, people still couldn't believe it. Even if Jiang Yun was amazing, how could he possibly be a match for Feng Wuji, who was at the fifth level of Tongmai

"Haha, you kids, make way and see what Wuji is capable of!"

Of course, the happiest one now was Feng Ling. He led the people from Fengcun back, laughing and retreating several meters to give enough space for Jiang Yun and Wu Ji's confrontation.

The people of Ginger Village not only did not retreat, but they all came out one after another and stood behind Jiang Yun. For them, even if this battle would ultimately be lost, they wanted to support Jiang Yun with their actions.

Feng Wuji and Jiang Yun stood opposite each other, two zhang apart.

Looking at Jiang Yun, Feng Wuji's face revealed a blatant look of disdain. After becoming an inner disciple of the Lunhui Sect, he no longer looked down on Jiangcun, let alone the entire 100,000 Mangshan Mountains. Not to mention Jiang Yun, who wasn't even considered a cultivator.

Feng Wuji suddenly put his left hand behind his back and only extended his right hand, saying: "Jiang Yun, in order to show my pity for you, I'll only use one hand!"

Feng Wuji's words immediately sparked outrage among the villagers of Ginger Village once again. For a cultivator at the Fifth Level of Tongmai, they could already release spiritual energy and even cast spells, such as the wind blade he used to ambush Ginger Yun previously. Controlling spiritual energy, there wasn't much difference between using two hands and one.

Ginger, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "Whatever. I just hope that if you lose, you won't use this as an excuse!"

"Boom!"

A whirlwind suddenly rose above Feng Wuji's body, lifting his long hair high. Flames burned in his eyes, clearly showing that he had been angered by Jiang Yun's words.

In a fit of rage, Feng Wujie unexpectedly made the first move!

Only seeing him raise one hand, grasping empty space, a whirlwind condensed in his hand into a blade. With a "whoosh," it shot towards Ginger Cloud.

Previously, he used this surprise attack against Ginger Cloud, but unfortunately, at the crucial moment, Ginger Mu stepped in and saved Ginger Cloud. This time, he wanted to see how Ginger Cloud would face this.

This gust of wind blade, although much slower than the previous one, contained considerably more power. As it swept through the air, it produced a heavy wave of pressure, clearly an intentional attempt by Feng Wuji to intimidate Jiang Yun.

But just then, everyone's eyes went blurry. Ginger Cloud, who had been standing there a moment ago, suddenly vanished.

The next instant, Feng Wuji only felt a tightness in his throat. Jiang Yun suddenly appeared before him like a ghost, extending her index finger and pressing it against his throat!

The original version and first release

"Bang!"

The wind blade, bereft of its target, exploded in mid-air, followed by an eerie silence!

Everyone was stunned!

No one had expected Jiang Yun to possess such incredible speed. Not only did he dodge the wind blade's attack, but he also instantly crossed the two-zhang distance between Feng Wuji in a blink of an eye.

If Feng Wuji had done this, people wouldn't be surprised, after all, he was a cultivator and could use his spiritual energy to increase his speed in his actions. But Jiang Yun had no spiritual energy in his body at all. Being able to achieve such speed with just his physical body was simply unbelievable.

Although Feng Wuji remained unharmed, if Jiang Yun had pressed a blade against his throat instead of her finger; if Jiang Yun exerted just a little more force, she could have effortlessly pierced Feng Wuji's throat and taken his life!

It is clear that the contest has already come to an end.

You lost!

Under the gazes of everyone, Jiang Yun retracted her fingers and took a few steps back, widening the distance between herself and Feng Wuji once more. She then calmly spoke.

"You!" Feng Wuji finally came to his senses, uttering a single word before abruptly stopping.

Although he really wanted to yell, he couldn't find a reason to open his mouth.

Jiang Yun's victory seemed to be achieved by taking shortcuts, but who was it that underestimated himself so much

"This doesn't count! You little bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Feng Wujì's face was contorted in rage, and he suddenly let out a roar. A hurricane surged around his body as he raised his hands. Four wind blades shot towards Jiang Yun at a speed even faster than lightning, one to the left, one to the right, one in front, and one behind.

Feng Wuji couldn't accept the fact that he, a powerful cultivator at the fifth level of Tongmai, had been defeated by an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate. Consumed by anger and humiliation, he completely forgot his earlier promise to use only one hand. Now, all he wanted was to defeat, even kill Jiang Yun, and wash away the shame.

No one expected Feng Wuji to attack Jiang Yun even after losing the match. Such behavior is a major taboo.

Moreover, according to Mang Shan's rules, if the challenge between two parties isn't a fight to the death, then injuring or crippling the opponent is allowed, but taking their life is absolutely forbidden.

Therefore, Feng Wuji's actions have openly broken the rules of Mangshan.

Now the distance between Jiang Yun and Feng Wuji is shorter, within such a narrow range, even if Jiang Yun's speed is faster, it can't be faster than four wind blades.

"Stop!"

“Uncle Ginger” Ginger Mu was taken aback, looking at the owner of the hand, Ginger Wanli. He clearly didn’t understand why Ginger Wanli wouldn’t let him go save Ginger Yun.

But the next moment, he understood, and everyone else understood.

Just then, Jian Yun completely ignored the four wind blades that surrounded him thoroughly. His eyes were fixed on Feng Wuji, and he took a step forward.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Four wind blades struck Jiang Yun fiercely, emitting a continuous series of explosions that ripped open and sent up a small whirlwind of flying sand and stones.

While Jiang Yun emerged from the whirlwind, stepping directly back before Feng Wujie and once again blocking his throat.

This time, it wasn't fingers anymore, but a dagger radiating with a cold light!

If Ginger Cloud's first victory seemed like a fluke, this time he completely ignored the four wind blades' attacks, even directly resisting them with his own flesh. This once again proves that his strength is in no way inferior to Windless Worry.

Moreover, at this moment, the place where Jiang Yun was struck by the wind blade only showed four faint marks. This astonished everyone once again. Only in Jiang Wanli's eyes, which were still narrowed, a trace of satisfaction appeared.

Though Gingercloud is not a cultivator and has never fought anyone before, he possesses incredibly rich combat experience.

Even the people of Ginger Village didn't know that after Ginger Yun was six years old, when he and Ginger Wanli entered the deep part of Mangshan Mountain, they encountered a ferocious beast. Ginger Wanli began to gradually reduce the number of times he made a move. And by the time Ginger Yun was ten years old, Ginger Wanli almost never made a move again.

Needless to say, Jiang Yun being able to survive unscathed until today, after ten years of constant battles with ferocious beasts, the sheer number is simply impossible to calculate!

Furthermore, according to Ginger Wanli's observations, since Ginger Yun was ten years old, whenever he fought against ferocious beasts, he would actively imitate and learn some of their characteristics to enhance his own combat skills.

Besides the medicinal baths he has soaked in over the years, Ginger Cloud, even if not a cultivator, possesses immense power, nimble speed, and a formidable physique.

These conditions combined are what allowed him to cultivate martial arts and achieve victory in the end! from a sliver of the spiritual patterns of all my Spirit Mirror clan members that I drew out back then, his strength is incredibly formidable. Back then, our Spirit Mirror clan had a population excee...
