After Accidentally Marrying My Sister-in-law, My 10,000x Cultivation Begins

285: Who dares to bully my younger brother and sister-in-law?At the same time, a thick layer of ice spread from beneath her feet, stretching toward the crowd chasing her from behind!

Those at the very front were instantly sent tumbling by the icy surface; many quickly circulated their True Qi and flew into the air in a disheveled state.

Seeing this, Li Cheng shot a look at the subordinates beside him.

The man understood immediately, raising his hand to blast a bolt of True Qi fiercely into the nearby crowd!

Three or five unlucky souls were blown away on the spot, and the crowd instantly fell into chaos!

Immediately after, someone yelled at the top of their lungs, ”Jiang Shuwan is hurting people!”

”This is too much! Her man stole our heaven ranking tickets, and now she’s attacking us! Capture her and force her man to cough up the heaven ranking tickets!”

The shouts were earth-shaking, rising and falling one after another.

Jiang Shuwan heard them clearly, and the chill in her heart grew even stronger. She knew these people were after Feng Ming’s heaven ranking tickets; now, using the rumors as an excuse, they were even more unscrupulous.

Her speed didn’t falter as the ice spread even further. Behind her, screams and curses intertwined, turning the scene into a chaotic mess.

Zhao Peng stood on the periphery of the crowd, watching coldly with a sneer. A subordinate beside him whispered, ”Boss, Li Cheng has started the fire. Should we make our move amidst the chaos?”

”What’s the rush?” Zhao Peng said indifferently. ”Let’s observe first. Jiang Shuwan isn’t that easy to deal with. If Li Cheng wants to take advantage, he’ll have to lose a layer of skin first.”

”We’ll wait. It won’t be too late to strike when they’ve both exhausted themselves.”

The subordinate nodded and said no more.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shuwan had been pushed to a dead end by the pursuing crowd. She stopped, turned around, and swept her cold gaze across the people before her.

The cold wind whipped her sleeves, making them snap loudly.

”Everyone, stop right there!” Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried an intimidating Aura that pierced through the noisy clamor, reaching everyone’s ears clearly.

But the angry crowd had long been blinded by greed; how could they possibly listen to her?

Someone shouted, ”Go! Catch her and trade her for the heaven ranking tickets!” The crowd boiled over again, surging toward Jiang Shuwan like a tide!

A chaotic battle was now unavoidable.

Jiang Shuwan’s shout ultimately failed to stop the crowd blinded by greed.

”Go! Catch her and trade her for heaven ranking tickets!”

This shout, from an unknown source, became the final spark that ignited the melee.

The dense crowd, like a rising tide, lunged at Jiang Shuwan with roars. The sounds of fists, feet, and True Qi tearing through the air instantly echoed across the edge of Yin Feng Valley.

Jiang Shuwan’s eyes sharpened, and without further hesitation, her hands quickly formed seals. The cold air around her surged violently, and the thin ice on the ground instantly froze into a waist-high ice wall blocking her front.

The dozen or so people at the front couldn’t stop in time and slammed into the ice wall. They were either slashed by ice shards or sent flying back, coughing up blood as they hit the ground.

”Nothing but petty tricks!” someone in the crowd roared, hacking at the ice wall with a flaming longsword. Fire and ice collided with a sizzling explosion, and a crack actually appeared in the ice wall.

Jiang Shuwan frowned slightly. With a tap of her foot, her figure drifted into the air like a swan.

An icicle condensed at her fingertip, and with a flick, it shot toward the man with the blade like an arrow.

The man hurriedly raised his blade to block, but to his surprise, the icicle suddenly split mid-air into dozens of fine ice needles, which all embedded themselves into his limbs and body.

”Ah—” With a scream, the man was instantly covered in frost and fell stiffly to the ground, unable to move.

But this was just a drop in the bucket.

The group of four to five hundred people was like a swarm of locusts; as one wave fell, another immediately took its place.

Some unleashed Flying Swords, others activated Talismanic Incantations. Various spiritual lights exploded within the crowd, closing in on Jiang Shuwan.

Jiang Shuwan maneuvered through the air, dodging most of the attacks, but a hidden arrow grazed her shoulder, and blood instantly soaked her clothes.

She grit her teeth, knowing that passive defense was not a long-term solution; she had to carve out a path of blood.

Taking a deep breath, she pressed her hands together in front of her chest and silently chanted an incantation.

In an instant, the moisture in the air seemed to be drawn by her. The mist near Yin Feng Valley suddenly condensed, transforming into countless ice blades suspended in mid-air.

”Ice Thunder Domain!”

With her low shout, the ice blades rained down upon the crowd.

Screams rose and fell as the crowd was forced back by the ice blades. For a moment, no one dared to step forward.

Li Cheng hid at the back of the crowd, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

He hadn’t expected Jiang Shuwan’s strength to remain so formidable despite being hindered by the rumors.

An Innate Ice Body was indeed not to be underestimated.

”Useless! A bunch of useless fools!” he cursed, telling his confidant, ”Go, have everyone spread out and flank her from both sides! Her Ice Thunder Domain has a limited range; if they scatter, she won’t be able to handle everyone at once!”

The confidant took the order and left. Soon, the chaotic crowd split into several groups, circling around to flank Jiang Shuwan from the left and right.

Jiang Shuwan saw through their intention at a glance. Although the Ice Blade Formation was powerful, maintaining the Formation consumed an enormous amount of True Qi. Now that they were attacking from different directions, the pressure on her increased sharply.

The wound on her shoulder throbbed, and her True Qi was beginning to flag. She knew clearly that if this continued, she would eventually be worn down.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from the crowd, holding a poisoned dagger and lunging straight for the back of Jiang Shuwan’s heart! It was precisely the Death Warriors arranged by Li Cheng, waiting specifically for her to be exhausted before launching a sneak attack.

Sensing the wind behind her, Jiang Shuwan jerked to the side. The dagger grazed her waist, leaving a bloody streak. She struck back with a palm at the Death Warriors; cold air surged into his body, freezing him in place instantly before he was pierced through by ice blades.

But this brief Divided Soul allowed the crowd on the right to seize an opportunity. A thick blast of earth-element True Qi slammed into her lower abdomen.

Unable to dodge in time, Jiang Shuwan was struck hard by the True Qi, her body flying backward like a broken kite and slamming heavily onto the ground.

”Pfft—” She spat out a mouthful of blood, her vision blurring for a moment.

”Catch her! She’s finished!”

The crowd erupted in cheers and swarmed forward again like sharks smelling blood.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Li Cheng’s eyes as he personally charged forward with his sword, intending to capture Jiang Shuwan himself.

Jiang Shuwan, however, stood up again very quickly. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she stared deathly at the people surrounding her.

Looking at the standing Jiang Shuwan, the greed in their eyes was gradually replaced by fear.

Only then did they remember that the woman before them was not just Jiang Qinghe’s granddaughter but also Feng Ming’s wife; her strength was never to be underestimated.

A seemingly hopeless situation had quietly reversed under Jiang Shuwan’s sharp edge.

Just as Jiang Shuwan was preparing to strike again to repel Li Cheng, a voice exploded in everyone’s ears.

”I’ll see who dares to bully my Younger Brothers Wife!”
