Actually, with Jiang Yun's true Cultivation Realm, the power of the fireball he released would naturally not be this weak. It was just that he had almost exhausted all his physical strength and Spiritual Qi trying to break free from Fang Yuxuan's restraint.

If he could truly release a fireball with power commensurate with his Cultivation Realm, then the subsequent events would likely have developed in a different direction.

Because Jiang Yun's true Realm is currently Nine Levels of Vein Opening!

Half a year, from a Mortal Cultivating to the Seventh Level of Tongmai Realm, advancing seven levels, even if his Aptitude was truly average, even if his Meridians were truly thinner than others, he would absolutely receive the attention and interest of all truly powerful existences within the Wen Dao Sect.

Unfortunately, he had little Spiritual Qi left.

"How dare you!"

Although the fireball that flew from Jiang Yun's hand posed no threat whatsoever, this scene finally truly enraged Fang Yuxuan!

As the top Inner Sect Disciple, allowing his sister to be slapped by Jiang Yun while he was present had already greatly damaged his reputation. He never expected Jiang Yun to dare launch an attack now; this was simply a provocation to his status and authority!

Fang Yuxuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Yun from a distance. Everyone immediately heard a sound of air being torn. Looking at Jiang Yun's left chest, there was a finger-sized hole, with blood gushing out, instantly staining his entire body red!

And the fireball he had thrown had silently dissipated into the air.

Jiang Yun trembled, and after swaying a few times, he once again fell back onto the ground. But even so, he surprisingly raised his hand again, pointing at Fang Ruolin in the air. A barely visible fire snake shot out from his fingertip, continuing to rush towards Fang Ruolin.

The fire snake dissipated immediately after leaving his fingertip, and Fang Yuxuan's figure had already appeared in front of Jiang Yun from the air.

At this moment, Fang Yuxuan still wore a gentle smile, his hands once again clasped behind his back. It seemed the anger previously stirred by Jiang Yun had vanished. Looking down at Jiang Yun from above, his gaze was devoid of anger or joy, and he appeared calm and composed.

At this moment, the square naturally fell silent again. However, everyone's focus seemed to no longer be on Fang Yuxuan, but rather many people's gazes were concentrated on Jiang Yun.

In fact, ever since Jiang Yun slapped Fang Ruolin, there had been no sound whatsoever from the entire Wen Dao Sect.

Whether it was the thousands of Disciple on the square, or the high-and-mighty Elders and Peak Masters within the Five Peaks, everyone seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak, merely watching silently as Jiang Yun, under Fang Yuxuan's pressure, fell down again and again only to get up again and again.

Until this moment, Jiang Yun clearly no longer had the ability to stand up again.

It must be said that this Jiang Yun, whom all of them had not thought highly of, had repeatedly brought them intense shock.

The difference in strength between the Tongmai Realm and the Blessed Land Realm was simply like the difference between heaven and earth. Even a Cultivator at the Nine Levels of Vein Opening! Realm would be powerless against a Cultivator at the First Level of Blessed Land Realm.

But Jiang Yun stubbornly resisted until now.

Perhaps his resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating his own strength, or bringing humiliation upon himself, but the courage and tenacity Jiang Yun displayed had earned the admiration of many.

What's more, by now, with the inquiries of those with intentions and from the conversation between Jiang Yun and Fang Ruolin, everyone could roughly infer the cause of the entire matter.

It could be said that throughout the entire incident, Jiang Yun had no fault whatsoever!

Just as he said earlier, he merely wanted to protect his sister.

Although he did slap Fang Ruolin, it was insignificant compared to Fang Ruolin's act of tricking Lu Xiaoyu, a small Utility Disciple, out of the Wen Dao Sect.

But even though everyone knew everything and sympathized with Jiang Yun, they dared not speak up to plead for him.

Because Jiang Yun was facing Fang Yuxuan, the top Inner Sect Disciple of the Wen Dao Sect, very likely the future Peak Master of Sword Dao Peak, and even, the Sect Master of the Wen Dao Sect!

Even if they weren't afraid of Fang Yuxuan, Fang Yuxuan's Master was the Peak Master of Sword Dao Peak, and it was said that this Dongtian cultivator, known as the strongest Sword Cultivator of the Wen Dao Sect, was extremely protective of his own.

Offending the Peak Master of the main peak was something that most people, let alone Disciple, even the Peak Masters and Elders of other peaks, would probably not do.

A moment later, a faint golden light suddenly surged from Fang Yuxuan's body, forming a transparent golden light shield that completely enveloped both him and Jiang Yun. It was then that he spoke again: "Kneel and beg for mercy, cut off One Palm, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will kill you!"

Blood continuously dripped from Jiang Yun's mouth and left chest. His tattered clothes and scorched body made him look incredibly disheveled, but his eyes still held a fierce gaze as he said, "You wouldn't dare!"

Begging for mercy, Jiang Yun would not!

Sixteen years of life in Mang Mountain taught Jiang Yun many things, but it never taught him how to beg for mercy. Moreover, facing a Vicious Beast, would begging for mercy be useful?

"Wouldn't dare?" Hearing Jiang Yun's confident reply, Fang Yuxuan was slightly taken aback and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to kill you?"

To be honest, until now, he didn't know Jiang Yun's identity. In his eyes, Jiang Yun was just an ant. If Fang Ruolin hadn't been pushed too hard by Jiang Yun, he wouldn't have appeared at all. Therefore, upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, his first thought was whether Jiang Yun had some background or a powerful backer?

Otherwise, why wouldn't he fear him?

As for a backer, Jiang Yun indeed had one: Dongfang Bo and Second Senior Sister.

If they were in the Wen Dao Sect today and saw this scene, they would have certainly appeared already. Unfortunately, they were not present.

However, even if they were, Jiang Yun would not rely on them as a backer. As early as ten years old, he knew that relying on anyone was not as good as relying on himself.

Forcibly swallowing a mouthful of blood, Jiang Yun said word by word, "Because of the Sect Rules!"

"Hahahaha!" These four words made Fang Yuxuan pause again, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing so hard he swayed back and forth.

Due to the golden light shield formed by Fang Yuxuan's powerful Qi, the crowd could not hear the conversation between Fang Yuxuan and Jiang Yun, and naturally did not know what Jiang Yun had said to make Fang Yuxuan laugh so loudly.

After laughing for a long time, Fang Yuxuan shook his head and said, "I finally understand why you are so bold! So, the Sect Rules are your biggest reliance, how laughable, how laughable!"

As his voice fell, Fang Yuxuan's tone suddenly turned cold, and a strong killing intent emerged in his emotionless eyes. He said, "Today, I will tell you that the so-called Sect Rules are only prepared for cowards like you. As long as one's strength is strong enough, one can completely trample any rules underfoot!"

"Don't believe it? Then don't you find it strange? Why has no one stopped me until now? Why haven't those Elders and Peak Masters saved you?"

"Because I am strong enough! Even if I kill you, no one will punish me!"

"It's just a pity, you won't be able to see it!"

As his voice fell, Fang Yuxuan extended a finger, just as Jiang Yun had previously held back Fang Ruolin, and gently pressed it against Jiang Yun's throat.
