If Zhou Chenghai and Zhou Jianren, father and son, had not threatened him with Wanrou Qinger and her daughter, he might have let them live.
But there are no ifs. If he had come a step later, Wanrou and Qing'er might have had their innocence ruined.
If they are so vicious, then there is no need for him to be merciful.
Jiang Nan used his spiritual power to control the dagger on the ground and plunged it into Zhou Jianren's chest with lightning speed.
The whole process took no more than a second, and those people didn't even see clearly how Zhou Jianren died.
Zhou Jianren fell to the ground with a thud, with a trace of hatred and malice remaining in his eyes, as well as a trace of disbelief.
He was no longer breathing, but his eyes were still open, and he didn't seem to understand how he died.
When other people present saw that Zhou Chenghai and Zhou Jianren were both dead, they all looked at Jiang Nan in horror, fearing that they would be the next to die.
They wanted to run, but they were afraid of arousing Jiang Nan's murderous intent, so they stood there stiffly, with fear on their faces.
But Jiang Nan was not interested in their lives.
He has always been clear about grievances. The people who really offended him were Zhou Chenghai and Zhou Jianren. They are dead now, so there is no need for him to go on a killing spree.
Jiang Nan walked up to Wan and Qing'er and gently untied the ropes on their bodies. A deep mark appeared on their bodies where they were bound by the ropes, which looked shocking against their fair and moist skin.
After Wanrou and Qing'er were untied, their bodies went limp and fell into Jiang Nan's arms. After being hung up for so long, they had already lost their strength. In addition to being frightened, it was good that they didn't faint.
Jiang Nan supported Wanrou and Qing'er and asked in a gentle voice: "How are you? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
Wanrou shook her head, her eyes were gentle, and there were tears on her beautiful cheeks. She said in a hoarse voice: "No, no, fortunately you came in time, otherwise, otherwise..."
As he spoke, tears fell one by one.
Qing'er held her hand and said pitifully: "Brother Jiangnan, you really scared us to death just now."
Seeing the sad and aggrieved looks of the mother and daughter, Jiang Nan said guiltily: "I am the one who has caused you trouble."
"No, Jiangnan, don't say that. Without you, our mother and daughter might have died long ago." Wanrou said quickly.
Jiang Nan gave her a reassuring smile: "You go back to the house first, I will handle this matter quickly."
Wanrou nodded and took the frightened Qing'er back to the house.
Jiang Nan stood in the yard and glanced at the others with cold eyes. Everyone caught by Jiang Nan's gaze held their breath and broke into a cold sweat from fear.
Finally, Jiang Nan's eyes stopped on a big tree.
"Aren't you coming out yet?" Jiang Nan looked at the tree and asked in a cold voice.
"You actually discovered me." A man walked out from behind the tree, with a shrewd appearance and a lean body, staring at Jiangnan with sinister eyes.
Jiang Nan said coldly: "You were the one who told Zhou Jianren that I killed Qi Tian?"
The man said with cold eyes: "Did you really kill Qi Tian?"
"So what if it's me?" Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows and said, his tone sounding as if he just crushed a mouse to death.
"Jiangnan, you are so bold. Qi Tian is the elder of our Tiancang Mountain. If you killed Qi Tian, could you be trying to make our Tiancang Mountain an enemy?" The man asked loudly with a rich voice.
The people around were surprised when they heard this.
"This person turns out to be from Tiancang Mountain. This Jiangnan man is too courageous. Even if he kills Zhou Chenghai and Zhou Jianren, he even dares to provoke such a behemoth as Tiancang Mountain."
"Although this Jiangnan looks powerful, it is Tiancang Mountain after all. He is the enemy of Tiancang Mountain. I am afraid he will die without knowing how."
"These things have nothing to do with us. He is not from our Fengming Town. Tiancang Mountain shouldn't transfer its anger to our Fengming Town, right?"
The voices of these people talking about each other reached Jiangnan's ears.
It sounds like they are extremely afraid of Tiancang Mountain.
The man was very satisfied with the fear in these people's voices, and looked at Jiang Nan proudly: "If you submit directly now, maybe I can make your death look more beautiful."
This man is none other than Zhu Xinchen, one of the elders of Tianchang Mountain, who is very popular with Qi Tian.
Today, he suddenly received an order from the mountain master, asking him to come to Fengming Town to find the murderer of Qi Tian. He came all the way here just to wait for Jiang Nan to appear.
Now that Jiang Nan appeared, he couldn't wait to take Jiang Nan back to resume his life.
Thinking of the tragic death of his friend, Zhu Xinchen's eyes burst out with murderous intent.
Jiang Nan looked at him coldly, not taking Zhu Xinchen seriously.
"If you kneel down and kowtow to me now, I can leave your body intact." Jiang Nan said in a cold tone.
After a trip to Tiancang Mountain, he already knew the conspiracy of Tiancang Mountain. He was full of murderous intentions towards these elders who knew the truth but still helped the evildoers.
Zhu Xinchen's cultivation level is a little higher than Qi Tian's, but it's not good enough in front of him.
The people in Fengming Town took a breath when they heard Jiang Nan's arrogant tone.
"This Jiangnan is so courageous. He dares to say such things in front of the elders of Tiancang Mountain. Is he crazy or is he not afraid of death?"
"I think he has lost his mind. The elders of Tiancang Mountain are not Zhou Chenghai and Zhou Jianren. Does he think he can deal with the elders of Tiancang Mountain?"
"Jiangnan is so unclear. He deserves to die. Just don't implicate our Fengmin Town..."
The whispers from those nearby made Jiang Nan frown in displeasure.
However, considering that these people have been under the oppression of Tiancang Mountain for a long time and have little knowledge, it is not surprising to say these words to them.
When Zhu Xinchen saw Jiang Nan's contemptuous look, he immediately became angry and stopped talking nonsense to Jiang Nan.
"Little beast, I want your life now!" He shouted coldly, his body rose up, and he suddenly released a stream of spiritual power towards Jiangnan.
Jiang Nan waved his backhand, and the spiritual power released by Zhu Xinchen disappeared instantly.
Not only that, a strange-colored flame swept away fiercely.
When Zhu Xinchen saw this, he said disdainfully: "Oh, do you think these little tricks can pose a threat to me?"
As he spoke, he released his spiritual power to block the hellfire in Jiangnan, but the moment that spiritual power was swallowed up by the strange-colored flames, his expression suddenly changed.
"This, how is this possible?" He looked at Jiangnan in horror.
"Isn't this spiritual fire? What on earth is this?"
Zhu Xinchen felt that the air was scorching a bit, and all the spiritual power he had released was swallowed up by the strange-colored flames. He was suddenly frightened and panicked.
He was extremely confident just now, thinking that what Jiang Nan released was only the flame formed by spiritual power, but he did not expect that the flame was so difficult to deal with, and he even felt that his life was threatened!
