1120: Chapter 680 1120: Chapter 680 “Heh, how can a man admit to being incapable?
Watch closely.
Whether they’re demon cultivators or pirates, none of them are getting away with robbing me!
Roar!”
Jiang Tang listened to his brother-in-law’s teasing words and responded with a confident smile.
Even without his Star-absorbing Spell, he had the Hell Palace Magical Treasure at his disposal.
Demon cultivators might resort to tactics like ghost attacks or creating puppet warriors.
Such methods often involve manipulating or forging souls!
All Jiang Tang needed was to bring out Hell Palace and absorb the ghosts they summoned into the palace.
Once the ghosts were contained, these people would be left as powerless cultivators!
Without their primary weapons, relying on their relatively weak abilities, how could they possibly be his match?
Of course, Jiang Tang wouldn’t use the Star-absorbing Spell in front of Ye Tian!
He wasn’t sure if Ye Tian, having lived in the modern era, had ever read martial arts novels or watched TV series featuring something like the Star-absorbing Spell.
If he used it, Ye Tian might figure it out!
Jiang Tang’s extraordinary absorption ability was known by Green Ox and Eryao, his two Spiritual Pets.
As loyal companions, they naturally wouldn’t spill his secrets to outsiders!
The master’s secrets were their secrets.
As their master grew stronger, they shared in his prestige!
Their once-bullied master was no longer defenseless.
Anyone who dared to cross him now was doomed to misfortune!
Eryao noticed that the flying artifact had stopped moving.
Initially, he didn’t think much of it.
Since the artifact had halted, there was a chance they were heading toward some specific destination.
Then he saw wooden ships blocking their route—sturdy vessels far tougher than ordinary ones, yet still inferior to their flying ship!
Eryao observed that one of the wooden ships seemed to have a raised turret.
Back in the modern era, he had witnessed military forces with turrets firing on extraterrestrial ships.
They had previously been mistaken for extraterrestrials.
When the military encountered their unfamiliar magic artifacts, they thought they were alien saucers and fired at them with cannon machines.
Unfortunately for the military, their cannons couldn’t scratch their flying ship!
In the high skies, there were cultivators above the Golden Core stage, the strongest of whom were only at the Soul Sea Stage.
However, they had set up a formation that emitted black mist!
“Green Ox, look at those idiots.
They really think that a Ghost Formation can stop us?
With their current cultivation levels, if Grandpa Divine Dragon unleashes a single Thunder Roar, it’ll shatter their Ghost Formation and wipe out all the ghosts they’ve summoned!”
Want to teach them a lesson?
They might just be pirates after all!”
“Hahaha!
Master, want me to take care of them for you?”
Receiving Green Ox’s approving and admiring gaze, Eryao felt a surge of pride.
Truly, Green Ox was a great companion—he just got him!
Jiang Tang, meanwhile, was pondering which approach to use to make these folks realize that regardless of their intentions, with all the crimes they carried on their backs, it was their bad luck to encounter him!
Since Eryao seemed eager to step forward, Jiang Tang decided he could save himself the trouble.
Let the pet handle the fight—he would just watch!
“Jiang Tang, you…!” Ye Tian’s eyes sparkled with envy, almost dripping with jealousy.
Why didn’t he have such powerful pets?
Even the strongest puppets he could create were without souls, without thoughts—completely lifeless!
Ye Tian had tried using the souls of demonic beasts to create various artifact spirits, but the fragments he collected were neither from Divine Beasts nor particularly strong!
Jiang Tang glanced at Ye Tian, whose jealousy and envy were written all over his face.
Smirking, Jiang Tang teased, “Who told you to claim you were incapable?
Look, even my pets prove themselves capable.
Brother-in-law, are you jealous or envious?”
If I stay quiet, you all do the heavy lifting while I watch!” Ye Tian shrugged helplessly.
Some things couldn’t be achieved through envy alone!
This cultivator Jiang Tang was a true monster.
Who in the entire Cultivation World wasn’t envious of him?
A twenty-something Mahayana cultivator—unheard of before or since.
Even ancient ancestors were envious.
How could mere mortals like them measure up?
Ye Tian resolved to work harder.
Who knew when he might reach such formidable heights?
Ye Tian naturally aspired to strength in his own way.
If he could ascend to the Mahayana Phase, he would be just one step away from Ascension!
Even if ascension wasn’t immediately possible, achieving such strength could spare them mortals’ fate of aging after a few centuries—or a thousand years, like rats!
Currently at the mid-Soul Sea Stage, Ye Tian had advanced this far thanks to the Supreme Elixirs provided by Jiang Tang.
Rumor had it Jiang Tang had skyrocketed in mere months from the Qi Refinement Realm to such lofty heights.
How did this monstrous cultivator manage it?
His secrets were too many.
As his brother-in-law, Ye Tian didn’t even dare ask!
He’d only heard some hints from Jiang Tang’s fiancée, back when their sect was still on good terms.
She might’ve helped him in his early days!
Maybe it was out of camaraderie as fellow disciples, or even a sibling-like affection for him.
That kind of emotion, Ye Tian now understood, might simply stem from a bond between friends or family.
Perhaps his fiancée once pitied Jiang Tang—a diligent orphan cultivating all on his own, with no one to rely on.
It was likely a form of compassion!
