YM778.TV 292 Chapter 292
Jiang Qi Tai immediately calmed down, looking like a different person from the terrifying one that he had been before.
Jiang Qi Tai revealed a faint smile and spread his hands as he said, "Since you know, you know. What\'s the point of hiding it?"
Lin Fan slightly knit his brows when he heard this since this was not what he had expected.
He had expected Jiang Qi Tai to curse or shout, even laughing like a maniac would be normal since it would mean that he would be panicking. But since he was this calm, it clearly meant that he still had another plan which was not a good sign.
Lin Fan calmly said, "What are you planning on doing now?"
Jiang Qi Tai looked at Lin Fan before saying, "What do you think I\'ll do?" But before Lin Fan could even respond, Jiang Qi Tai snapped his fingers and several people around them collapsed instantly.
All the people that collapsed were people with low levels of cultivation, mainly the staff working at the wedding and a few of the guards.
However, the moment they did collapse, there was a strange red energy that came out of them and floated through the air, moving towards Jiang Qi Tai.
The red energy seeped into his body and his aura seemed like it was slowly increasing. It grew along with the layer of red energy that was gradually becoming more and more visible around him.
It continued to grow until it formed a layer of armour around his body, an eerie looking blood red armour made of pure energy.
Lin Fan immediately knit his brows when he saw this.
Jiang Qi Tai didn\'t look worried at all as he casually stood there with the dagger slightly leaning down, almost falling out of his hands as he said, "Did you expect this?"
Lin Fan could instantly tell what had happened.
With the law of murder, the more one killed, the stronger one became. Using this, Jiang Qi Tai had placed marks that would explode and kill the targets that he placed them on when he wanted to, allowing him to kill them to increase his own power.
Judging by how strong the blood red energy armour was around him, Lin Fan guessed that Jiang Qi Tai had already killed around a hundred people. It had even pushed his laws into the Fragmented Soul Realm.
As for the reason why Lin Fan knit his brows, it wasn\'t because he was worried about this. Rather he did this for the amount of innocent people that Jiang Qi Tai killed.
None of these people deserved to die, but they had died at the hands of Jiang Qi Tai to make himself stronger.
Lin Fan felt an impulse coming from inside that made him want to punish Jiang Qi Tai, but compared to before, it was much weaker.
Jiang Mu knitted his brows when he saw what had happened and he said, "Nephew, what you just did…"
But before he could even finish, Jiang Qi Tai said, "Shut your mouth. You are not qualified to talk here."
Jiang Mu knitted his brows even deeper, but he didn\'t say anything in response since he could tell from his aura that Jiang Qi Tai was much stronger compared to before. He was right, at this point, Jiang Mu really wasn\'t qualified to speak.
Jiang Qi Tai turned back to Lin Fan and said, "Do you have any other plans? If not, are you prepared to die?"
Lin Fan didn\'t understand why Jiang Qi Tai was this confident, but he knew why Jiang Qi Tai was rushing. The power gained from killing with the law of murder was only temporary, so if he stalled any longer, he wouldn\'t have this power any longer.
There were already faint wisps of red energy that were escaping from the armour that was around him.
Lin Fan casually said, "You and I both know your time is limited, so why are you wasting time with words?
Jiang Qi Tai revealed a wicked smile when he heard this as he said, "You really don\'t know what\'s good for you. In this situation, wouldn\'t the right thing to do be to stall for time and not egg your opponent on? Yet you do the exact opposite. Are you just that confident or do you have some kind of plan?"
Lin Fan just gave a shrug and didn\'t reply.
Actually, he felt it was strange that Jiang Qi Tai was also stalling with words even though his power was temporary.
The only explanation for this was that he had some other plan that he was stalling for time for.
But Lin Fan wouldn\'t give him that chance. He would rather face him head on than to give him a chance to devise even more plans. That was just how confident he was in his own ability to face Jiang Qi Tai.
Jiang Qi Tai still wasn\'t in a rush to charge forward as he calmly stood there looking at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan knew that in this situation, the only thing he could do was put pressure on Jiang Qi Tai, so he took the initiative and moved forward.
When he did, Jiang Qi Tai actually took a step back and raised his hand.
The moment his hand came up, there were five of the guests that suddenly had red lines appear over their clothes and all around their body.
The five of them quickly gathered around Lin Fan in a star formation and there was an array that was drawn in between them, surrounding Lin Fan. The array created red walls of energy that trapped Lin Fan in the center of the array, not allowing him to move forward.
This kind of array wasn\'t a killing array, it was a simple trapping array. It wasn\'t hard for Lin Fan to break, but it was definitely time consuming. It would take Lin Fan a bit of time before he would be able to break through it.
But why was Jiang Qi Tai doing all of this?
First he had a power that was running out of time and yet he was the one that was stalling for time. Just why did he do something this contradictory?
Jiang Qi Tai just stood there, watching as Lin Fan slowly broke through the array. During this time, he didn\'t raise a single finger to attack Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan finally broke through the array, a minute had already passed.
It was at this point that Jiang Qi Tai threw out several puppets from his Spatial Ring which had jumped forward to attack Lin Fan, holding him back.
These puppets were all in the peak Gold Realm, so they couldn\'t take a single hit from Lin Fan. However, these puppets had come one after the other, so they were effective in taking up a bit of Lin Fan\'s time.
Just like this, Jiang Qi Tai kept moving back while throwing all kinds of different artifacts that slowed down Lin Fan. As time passed, it had been a whole five minutes that had passed before Jiang Qi Tai finally ran out of items.
When Lin Fan was finally about to reach Jiang Qi Tai, there was a burst of energy that came from the Jiang Manor. This burst of energy was like the wisps of blood red energy that had come from the people Jiang Qi Tai had killed, but it was countless times stronger compared to the energy from before.
Jiang Qi Tai revealed a faint smile as he muttered, "It\'s finally here."
This burst of energy swirled in the sky above the wedding hall before falling down right onto Jiang Qi Tai.
Jiang Qi Tai gave another wild laugh as he said to Lin Fan, "Do you feel regret now? Who told you to hold back and test me, who told you to not finish me off sooner?"
Lin Fan could tell that this energy had already surpassed the low and medium Fragmented Soul Realm, it was already approaching the high Fragmented Soul Realm and didn\'t seem like it would stop any time soon.
At first he had been confused why this had happened, he easily understood what had happened.
The only explanation for this was that something had happened to the Jiang Family\'s ancestor.
Somehow, Jiang Qi Tai had managed to find a way to hurt the Jiang Family\'s ancestor and that allowed him to turn this damage into power with his law of murder.
Since Jiang Qi Tai was much weaker than the Jiang Family\'s ancestor, by hurting someone that was much stronger than him, the law of murder awarded him accordingly. With how his aura was increasing, it was likely he might even reach the peak Fragmented Soul Realm.
Lin Fan only had a single question that he asked, "How did you do it?"
Jiang Qi Tai, or rather the fragment of the Beast King\'s ambition was filled with arrogance, so of course he started bragging. Jiang Qi Tai had a wicked smile as he said, "That old coot didn\'t let his guard down for a single second, but it was too bad he trusts his own family members too much."
When Jiang Mu heard this, he immediately knitted his brows and shouted, "Jiang Qi Tai, what did you do?!"
Jiang Qi Tai completely ignored him as he looked at Lin Fan and said, "Now tell me, how do you want to suf…"
But before he could finish, the burst of energy coming from the Jiang Family had suddenly stopped.
