This pure white spear was the second trump card that Lin Fan had left Jiang Zhi Shu.

It was nothing other than the Iron Eater Bone Artifact.

​​

The moment Jiang Zhi Shu pulled out the spear, Jiang Tie could feel a change in the aura around him, but he still had his own pride. He didn't believe that just a single spear would be enough to turn the entire fight around.

It was too bad that his judgement of the situation was completely off.

Jiang Zhi Shu once again surrounded the pure white spear with stone laws, creating a layer of stone over it as he aimed it at Jiang Tie.

Jiang Tie didn't hesitate at all as he charged forth with his iron covered fist, aiming his right one right at Jiang Zhi Shu's face. He wanted to end it with a single punch that would knock out Jiang Zhi Shu.

Jiang Zhi Shu didn't panic at all as he waited for just the right second before swinging the spear up, colliding with the iron covered fist.

But the difference this time was that the spear didn't bend at all. Rather without any hesitation, the iron covered fist was easily knocked aside. It wasn't just knocked aside, there was even a layer of iron that was cut right off.

The force of the upwards swing completely changed the direction of momentum for Jiang Tie, causing him to swerve off to the side.

Jiang Zhi Shu took advantage of this to charge forth past the fist, turning in the air with his spear before slamming it down on Jiang Tie's head.

If he hadn't tilted his spear at the last second so the flat end of the spear's blade had hit Jiang Tie's head, with how he had cut through the iron armour earlier, he might have cut Jiang Tie's head in half.

In the end, Jiang Zhi Shu still had a bit of an emotional attachment to the Jiang Family since they were the ones who raised him. Even if they had abandoned him and taken away in the end, there were still good memories that existed between him and them.

Jiang Tie's armour couldn't take the force transferred from the spear at all and Jiang Tie was knocked to the ground, not getting up again. The force transferred from the armour was enough to jolt his brain and knock him unconscious.

Everyone was shocked into silence when they saw this.

The experts in the room could all tell from Jiang Zhi Shu's aura that he was only in the mid Platinum Realm. Even if the laws that he used was a bit stronger than his current realm, he shouldn't have reached the level where he could take out a peak Platinum Realm Expert this easily.

Even those that weren't experts could tell that there was a natural difference in strength between Jiang Tie and Jiang Zhi Shu.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the spear in Jiang Zhi Shu's hand.

The moment the spear had been pulled out, everything had suddenly changed.

Jiang Zhi Shu was able to easily overpower Jiang Tie with this spear, changing into a completely different person.

The Iron Eater Bone Artifact was the main reason why Lin Fan was confident in his plan in letting Jiang Zhi Shu show himself.

After the Sacred Rock Realm, the Iron Eater Bone Artifact had already reached the peak Embryo Soul Realm, surpassing the peak of this Blue Star Planet by an entire realm.

Each minor realm in the Soul Realm was a chasm that was hard to jump, the distance between each major realm was like the distance between stars.

With just this spear, there was no one present today that could take care of Jiang Zhi Shu unless the ancestor of the Jiang Family were to show himself. But the ancestor of a family wouldn't join a battle so easily, unless the entire Jiang Family was in danger. The main reason for this was that the ancestor of the Jiang Family was getting close to reaching the end of his lifespan.

Unless he was able to breakthrough again, his natural limit would come one day and he would die of old age.

Of course, by cultivating and locking himself in to maintain a low level of activity could allow him to save some vitality, but that was a low grade move.

Still, every bit of vitality counted since after all, no one ever wanted to die.

That was why Lin Fan was confident in Jiang Zhi Shu and his plan.

That was, unless…

Lin Fan who had been silently sitting in the crowd turned to look at Jiang Qi Tai who had been hiding behind the elders.

He could sense a familiar aura from him, but it was also completely unfamiliar to him.

He just couldn't get an exact sense of what it was…

Jiang Mu who had been looking away couldn't help turning at the last second when Jiang Zhi Shu overpowered Jiang Tie, knocking him out.

He never expected Jiang Zhi Shu to be this powerful, but he also narrowed his eyes to look at the spear in Jiang Zhi Shu's hand. After a slight pause, his pupils suddenly shrank as he revealed a shocked look.

The current leaders of the Jiang Family were all the descendants of the ancestor, namely the six elders and the family head, they were all brothers. They were the seven sons of the Jiang Family ancestor.

The family head and the first elder Jiang Mu were special compared to the rest of their siblings.

As the first son of the ancestor, Jiang Mu had been carefully nurtured by his father. As a child he had been exposed to much more compared to the rest of his brothers, allowing him to learn much more than them.

Naturally, that included information on the Legendary Realm.

He had followed his father once to meet with the upper realm faction that they served and in that encounter, he had encountered an aura that he had never felt before. His father had later told him that that was a power that was out of reach of the Blue Star Planet, only those that ascended to the upper realm could ever reach that power.

Unfortunately, the Jiang Family never had the talent to catch the eyes of the upper realm faction, so they never had anyone ascend.

Even now the Jiang Family ancestor was still stuck in the low Fragmented Soul Realm after several centuries.

Jiang Mu knew that this spear was from the realm that was beyond the peak of the Blue Star Planet, it was in the realm above his father, it was the Embryo Soul Realm.

But what he didn't understand was just how Jiang Zhi Shu had obtained this artifact!

With the way Jiang Zhi Shu had suddenly become stronger and the fact that he had obtained an item that shouldn't belong in this realm, could it mean that there was another upper realm faction behind him?

If that were the case, were they all being used as pawns in an elaborate chess game?

But Jiang Mu didn't have time to think about this, right now what mattered was the Jiang Family. If he didn't control this situation now, it would spiral out of control and the damage to the Jiang Family would be irreparable.

Jiang Mu nodded to another two old men who were sitting in the front row and they both came forward. These two old men were respectively the third and fifth elders of the Jiang Family.

In this scenario, they all knew that if they didn't stop Jiang Zhi Shu now, it would be too late for the Jiang Family, so there was no time to care about shame.

With how easily Jiang Zhi Shu took care of Jiang Tie, it was clear that he was much stronger than any one of them alone. Since that was the case, they could only take the insults and send two elders to incapacitate him.

Well, the best scenario was if they could incapacitate him and they could interrogate him about this spear he was holding, but that seemed very unlikely. It had reached the point where it didn't matter what they did, they just had to stop him. Even if that meant they had to kill Jiang Zhi Shu to silence him.

The third and fifth elders were the two elders that got along the best, so their combination play was close to unstoppable. Still, even with that in their pockets, there wasn't a single thing they could do to Jiang Zhi Shu.

At first he did struggle to avoid their combination attacks, but as the fight dragged on, Jiang Zhi Shu's situation became better and better.

Soon it was no effort at all for him to dodge the moves of the elders, rather it almost seemed like he was using them as grindstones to train himself.

When it finally seemed like he had learnt all that he could learn from them, Jiang Zhi Shu did the same thing he did with Jiang Tie. With two simple sweeps of the spear, the flat end of the blade hit both of their heads and they were both knocked out, falling to Jiang Zhi Shu's feet.

Jiang Zhi Shu never even considered killing them since one, they were still family and two, they were useful as hostages.

No matter what was said, Yuan Xiang Qin was still in the hands of the Jiang Family, so before she was by his side, he couldn't take a single risk with her life.

Jiang Zhi Shu turned to Jiang Mu again after he took care of the two elders and said, "Next."
