Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1175 Split Mountain Palm

Jiang Xiaochuan felt uncomfortable under this sudden hostility and wondered to himself: Damn it, what did I do to deserve this?

Before Tang Ran could speak, he shook his head: "No, I can't let you come along."

It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to provoke hatred; he simply knew the truth in his heart.

Tang Ran alone is enough of a headache for him. He has to be wary of her spying on him every day, and he also has to hide his secrets.

Add to that Murong Jin, who clearly has ill intentions, and he'll probably cause him trouble every day.

Dealing with just those two will be exhausting enough; how will we have the energy to deal with the mess that is the Huangfu family and the Ren clan?

"You dare refuse me?"

Murong Jin's eyes widened, his mind preoccupied with how to be alone with Tang Ran, completely disregarding Jiang Xiaochuan's thoughts.

In his view, he had already given Jiang Xiaochuan face by offering to come along, so the other party should obediently agree and had no right to refuse.

"Jiang Xiaochuan, don't push your luck!"

Murong Jin's face instantly darkened. "You really think that just because you beat a few trash at the Rising Dragon Boxing Arena, you have the right to put on airs in front of me?"

At this moment, Murong Jin's last trace of hypocrisy vanished completely. Tang Ran was standing right next to him. How could he tolerate Jiang Xiaochuan daring to challenge him?

"Today you either let me come along, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Murong Jin threatened."

Jiang Xiaochuan's expression turned slightly cold; he didn't want to provoke Murong Jin.

But that doesn't mean he can tolerate someone taking advantage of him.

"It's my place, and I don't allow anyone to come here."

Jiang Xiaochuan said coldly, "As for your 'impoliteness,' I'd like to see just how you'll be impolite."

"Alright! Then I'll show you!"

Enraged, Murong Jin threw a punch at Jiang Xiaochuan's face without saying a word.

In Murong Jin's eyes, Jiang Xiaochuan's taking advantage of Tang Ran had already enraged him, and he was seething with resentment.

Now that the other party dares to refuse me in public, it's time to settle both old and new scores.

This punch was no ordinary brute force; the wind from the punch carried a powerful energy, making a whooshing sound. Even the bushes as thick as a bowl by the roadside were pressed flat against the ground by the force of the energy.

Even without much actual combat, the destructive energy of a Grandmaster still exudes a chilling sense of oppression.

Jiang Xiaochuan, a member of the family, had seen a lot of people, most of whom were arrogant and domineering.

Therefore, he was not surprised by Murong Jin's sudden attack.

Jiang Xiaochuan only turned his head abruptly when the force of the punch grazed his nose.

Murong Jin's fist hadn't had time to stop before it slammed into the old locust tree behind him.

The dull thud made the mountain road tremble, and the tree trunk, as thick as a bowl, instantly cracked open with a deep groove.

Bark fragments flew everywhere, followed by a "crack" sound.

The entire tree was snapped in half by the shockwave, and the broken ends still showed scorch marks from the intense heat.

"The Grandmaster-level aura has not been a waste of the Murong family's resources."

Jiang Xiaochuan's voice came casually from the side, his tone showing no trace of fear.

Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, then became even more annoyed.

He was clearly a Grandmaster, and his energy was powerful enough to break trees and split rocks, so how come he couldn't even touch the hem of Jiang Xiaochuan's clothes?

Gritting his teeth, he swept his left leg horizontally, the force of his leg carrying a gust of wind, aiming directly at Jiang Xiaochuan's knee.

But Jiang Xiaochuan seemed to have anticipated his movements. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and floated back half a meter, just avoiding the sweeping kick.

What's even more ingenious is that he casually hooked his right hand downwards, his fingertips brushing against Murong Jin's ankle.

It was just a light touch, yet it precisely struck the point where his energy flowed.

Murong Jin felt a numbness in his ankle, and his Grandmaster-level energy instantly became disordered. He suddenly lost his balance and knelt on one knee with a "thud".

The crisp sound of his knees hitting the mountain path left two shallow dents in the stone slab.

"Damn it!"

Murong Jin's eyes suddenly turned cold.

In order to get closer to Tang Ran, he practiced Tang Ran's hidden weapon techniques for half a year, and even pondered the weight of the dart and the attachment point of the energy.

He just hoped to have a chance to show off his skills in front of Tang Ran.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Taking advantage of Jiang Xiaochuan's lack of vigilance, Murong Jin suddenly flicked his sleeve, and three golden darts shot out!

However, just when Murong Jin thought he could defeat his enemy in one move, Jiang Xiaochuan flicked his wrist and, without even activating his spiritual energy, met the attack with his bare hands!

As soon as the three golden darts flew in front of him, he precisely caught the tail of the first dart with his thumb and forefinger.

The other two darts were held firmly in his palm; the master-level energy at the tip of the darts seemed to hit cotton, not even scratching his skin.

Jiang Xiaochuan chuckled and flicked his finger, sending the three golden darts bouncing back with a "whoosh".

The force was even more intense than before, and with a "poof," most of it disappeared into the bluestone slab at Murong Jin's feet.

The dart tip was pointing upwards, less than half an inch from his toes.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Murong Jin's back.

He didn't even see how the other party caught the golden dart, let alone the effortless way they countered.

"You, a Grandmaster, can't even control your internal energy, yet you dare to try using hidden weapons?"

Jiang Xiaochuan was speechless. How could a mediocre talent like Murong Jin reach this level? It's true that nothing beats being born into a good family.

"You're asking for it!"

These words thoroughly pierced Murong Jin's dignity.

He formed a hand seal, and his body erupted with energy. A pale blue aura wrapped around his arms as if it were a tangible substance. The surrounding air twisted and deformed under the violent energy fluctuations, and the pebbles on the ground trembled.

Jiang Xiaochuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

Although this guy's foundation was weak, the qi he was desperately unleashing at the moment actually had a certain solidity.

"careful!"

Tang Ran urgently reminded, "This is the Murong family's secret 'Mountain-Splitting Palm,' with three layers of power—the first layer breaks through defenses and penetrates the body, the second layer vibrates the meridians, and the third layer directly damages the internal organs! Even a grandmaster of the same level would be seriously injured if he took it head-on!"

When Murong Jin saw that Tang Ran had actually spoken up to remind Jiang Xiaochuan, jealousy completely overwhelmed her reason.

He shouted sharply, channeling all his energy into the increasingly dazzling ball of light in his palm, and slammed it towards Jiang Xiaochuan's chest!

Wherever the palm strike passed, the bluestone slab cracked inch by inch, clearly indicating that the mastermind was determined to kill.

This palm strike was indeed incredibly skillful, but he had already witnessed the six great families' most powerful techniques from Huangfu Lei, so he remained completely unmoved.

As the ball of energy drew ever closer, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly shifted his body to the side, his right hand moving with lightning speed to precisely grab Murong Jin's wrist, his fingertips pressing heavily on the "spiritual meridian acupoint" on the inside of his wrist.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Xiaochuan wouldn't have been able to find the flaw so quickly, but who made this person Murong Jin?

"Well!"

The excruciating pain spread from his wrist throughout his body. The ball of energy in Murong Jin's palm instantly dissipated, and the Grandmaster-level energy darted around like a kite with a broken string, making his arm numb from the shock.

Jiang Xiaochuan pulled him forward, causing Murong Jin to lose his balance and fall forward.
