Chapter 1662: Collapsed Jiang Fangyou

That this person had already comprehended the Spatial and Temporal True Comprehensions was bewildering enough; he never imagined that the Soul True Comprehension had also been mastered. Among the three great clans, only a handful of people had managed to comprehend these three True Comprehensions over tens of thousands of years. Their immense difficulty was such that even ancient saints would find them daunting. One person possessing all three? How was this even possible? Who could be this monstrously talented?

Crack! Utterly speechless with shock, he watched as the figure ahead broke through the seal and smashed through the wall, clearly about to escape.

"Empty the Jiang clan's treasures and then escape? It won't be that easy..."

His face flushed with anger, Jiang Fangyou suddenly moved, as if tearing through space, and charged out. Boom! With five fingers spread wide and an aura like a dragon, he grabbed forcefully. A powerful stream of True Qi formed a massive wall of energy, completely blocking the opponent's escape route. Simultaneously, a formidable soul energy transformed into a sharp sword and shot straight towards the opponent's mind.

Soul attacks are not restricted by time or space. As it landed on the figure, it pierced directly towards its mind. Struck by the soul energy, a faint light emanated from the figure. With a gentle ripple, like flowing water, it blocked the attack.

"A Soul Wave Barrier? You're... a Witch Soul Master?"

His heart twitched again, and Jiang Fangyou nearly fell from the air. The shock he experienced today was more than he had accumulated in his entire life.

The Soul Wave Barrier is a special martial technique of Witch Soul Masters that allows one to transform soul energy into flowing water, which flows around the body to defend against soul attacks. Only a pure Witch Soul Master could achieve this technique; even he couldn't accomplish it. This guy before him had not only comprehended the Temporal, Spatial, and Soul True Comprehensions, but also, incredibly, was a Witch Soul Master? When did such a powerful expert appear on the continent?

However, he knew this was not the time for shock. With a flick of his wrist, a triangular flag flew into the air. A Great Sage-level weapon: the Soul Soaping Flag! This item was refined by an ancient saint of the clan and had been in his possession for nearly a century, nurtured daily with soul energy. It hadn't been used for over eighty consecutive years, meaning it had accumulated eighty years' worth of his soul power. Now, suddenly unleashed, its aura surged, completely sealing the surrounding space. Immense soul energy aggressively surged from the Soaping Flag. The entire Jiang clan mansion seemed to grow several degrees colder, its temperature dropping. The Soul Soaping Flag spread soul energy. Those with weaker cultivation would be directly impacted into imbecility upon its appearance, and even powerful cultivators would feel dizzy and find it hard to resist. Back then, when Teacher Yang sparred with it, he was greatly shocked and nearly suffered a huge loss. Now, with it unleashed, the advancing figure was like a grasshopper frozen in water, completely unable to escape.

"Although you are a Witch Soul Master, your own strength is too low; you still can't resist the Soaping Flag..." Seeing it immobilized, Jiang Fangyou breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to grab the opponent to see who it was, he felt the flag in the air suddenly shake violently and continuously, as if its power was out of control. Whirring! The eighty-plus years of soul energy accumulated on it surged madly towards the figure below, forming a massive whirlpool in a moment.

"He... he... is absorbing the soul energy from the Soaping Flag? This is bad..." His face turned pale, his body swayed, and Jiang Fangyou nearly fainted. "I used this thing to attack you, but not only were you unharmed, you're even absorbing my soul energy... What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Die..." Filled with rage, his face ashen, he controlled the Soaping Flag and hurled it straight at the figure. This treasure could not only launch soul attacks but also physical ones; if it struck with full force, even a Saint 2-dan Golden Body realm expert would be shattered on the spot. Whoosh! The Soaping Flag landed on the opponent. He thought it would crush them instantly, but who would have thought the figure extended a palm and gently stroked the flag twice, and then... the flag excitedly spun around the figure, joyful sounds continuously emanating from it, as if it had met its own parents. Jiang Fangyou's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, then felt the spiritual connection to the Soul Soaping Flag nearby severed.

"You, you refined my Soaping Flag..." He was almost in tears. "Absorbing the power from my Soaping Flag would have been bad enough, but using it to attack, and it was instantly refined... What on earth happened? Where am I? Who am I...?" Struck by this blow, he began to doubt his very existence. "This was a treasure nurtured with soul energy for countless years, and it betrayed him just like that... His heart ached..."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Having refined the Soaping Flag and put it into a ring, the figure continued to fly forward.

"There's no escape!" The two continued to fight while flying, creating such a huge commotion that they had already alerted countless clan members. At this moment, dozens of Jiang clan elders flew out, hovering around and completely blocking the escape route.

"If I let you escape today, I'll stop being a Jiang!" Seeing so many elders appear, Jiang Fangyou breathed a sigh of relief, his face turning ferocious. With a roar, a jade token appeared in his palm and shot straight forward. Boom! The moment the jade token appeared, the formation below began to boil, and countless energies gathered in the air. The Jiang clan's protective formation was fully activated.

"Seal!" As the formation activated, Jiang Fangyou narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger at the jade token. Light shone brilliantly, and the gathered power swiftly converged on the figure. This was not spatial law, nor a soul technique, but a genuine, physical force. Once enveloped within it, one would be like fish or meat on a chopping board, completely unable to escape. The figure seemed to perceive the terror of this power. Its body shrank slightly, and with a gentle sway, it appeared in one spot and stamped its foot downwards in the air. Crack! A cracking sound resonated, and the converging power stopped in mid-air in the blink of an eye.

"The formation stopped?" His body swayed again, and Jiang Fangyou felt a profound sense of disbelief. "Big brother, is there anything you can't do?" However, before he could fully react, he saw the figure gently beckon with a palm, and the jade token hovering in the air flew straight towards it. It landed in its palm, and with a gentle tap, the token emitted an excited hum... It had been refined again! Another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Jiang Fangyou's vision went black. Not from being physically hit, but from the sheer shock. "This damned thing is my clan leader's token, my clan, my territory... not yours! Stopping the clan's formation, refining the clan leader's token... How did he do it? Damn it, why do I feel like the outsider here?"

"Father..." Seeing him spit blood, Jiang Feifei, who had rushed over from behind, was filled with anxiety.

"Don't come over... be careful that guy doesn't capture you..." Jiang Fangyou hurriedly shouted. "This guy — throw out the Soaping Flag, it's refined; throw out the clan leader's token, it's refined; even the grand formation obeys his commands... If his daughter rushed over, he estimated that in the next moment, she would also become the opponent's. He even wondered... if he himself rushed over, would he also become the opponent's."

Jiang Feifei was speechless.

Zhang Xuan was speechless.
