Wang Li was sent flying backward uncontrollably, like a stone that had been struck.

Her long hair flew wildly through the air, making her look disheveled. She crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, arcing through the air before splashing onto the ground, staining a patch of earth red. Her body was curled up in a ball, her limbs twisted, and she looked extremely pained.

The powerful technique that had just been imbued with all her killing intent vanished like a bubble with a mere wave of Jiang Yu's hand. This immense disparity filled her heart with despair and resentment.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes still burned with a mad flame as she stared intently at Jiang Yu, as if she wanted to burn him to death with her gaze.

“Jiang Yu…you bastard…” Her voice was weak and hoarse, filled with hatred.

Seeing his mother so easily knocked away by Jiang Yu, Jiang Yang's anger flared instantly. Like an enraged lion, he roared, "Jiang Yu, you dare to hurt my mother! I'll kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards Jiang Yu like a gust of wind, his spiritual power surging and condensing into a long sword that gleamed with cold light, which he then fiercely stabbed at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's expression was indifferent as he watched Jiang Yang rush towards him, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

As Jiang Yang approached, he calmly raised his palm and slammed it out.

This seemingly casual palm strike contained boundless power.

Jiang Yang felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him. The spiritual energy sword in his hand shattered instantly, and he was slammed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

A large crater was smashed into the ground, and Jiang Yang was trapped inside, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

"Jiang Yang, you think you can kill me?" Jiang Yu said coldly, his eyes filled with mockery. "You've been spoiled rotten in the Jiang family all these years, haven't you? You think the whole world revolves around you?"

Jiang Yang struggled to get up, but felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart, and he was in excruciating pain.

He was both angry and shocked, unable to believe that Jiang Yu was so powerful and that he was so vulnerable in front of him.

“Jiang Yu… don’t be so smug…” Jiang Yang said through gritted teeth, “I won’t let you get away with this…”

Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Yang, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes: "You should take care of yourself first. I remember clearly everything you and your son have done to me over the years. Today, I am merely giving you a slight punishment."

The surrounding crowd was stunned by this sudden turn of events. They watched as Jiang Yu easily defeated Wang Li and Jiang Yang, gaining a new understanding of Jiang Yu's strength.

The dean and elders' expressions grew increasingly grave. The dean frowned, thinking to himself, "Jiang Yu's strength far exceeds my expectations."

Murong Xue, Lu Shaoyou, and other outstanding disciples also showed expressions of shock.

Murong Xue thought to herself, "I never expected Jiang Yu to be so well hidden. It seems my understanding of him before was too superficial."

Lu Shaoyou secretly rejoiced that he hadn't had a major conflict with Jiang Yu before, otherwise he would probably have ended up like Jiang Yang today.

Wang Li lay on the ground, looking at Jiang Yang's painful appearance, her heart filled with self-blame and regret.

She knew that she had underestimated Jiang Yu and overestimated her own abilities.

Now, she and Jiang Yang are in dire straits, and it seems that she is the one who caused all of this.

“Yang’er…it’s all your mother’s fault…” Wang Li said, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling.

The madness in her heart was gradually replaced by fear and despair, and she realized that her actions might be pushing Jiang Yang into an abyss of no return.

Jiang Yu looked at Wang Li and Jiang Yang, who were in a sorry state on the ground, without feeling any pity.

“This is just the beginning. I will make you pay for everything you have done to me and my mother.”

Jiang Yu's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the deepest hell, causing everyone present to shiver.

Jiang Yu's gaze sharpened as he coldly swept over Wang Li and Jiang Yang, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You want to know why I hate them so much?"

Wang Li's heart tightened; she realized what Jiang Yu was about to say, and she was filled with terror. She mustered her last bit of strength to try and get up to stop Jiang Yu from revealing that matter.

She crawled laboriously on the ground, using both her hands and feet, and mumbled incoherently, "Jiang Yu...you...you're not allowed to say it..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yu sneered and raised his hand to press down from a distance. An invisible, powerful force instantly pressed Wang Li firmly to the ground. Her body felt as if it were being suppressed by an invisible mountain, unable to move, and she could only let out painful groans.

Seeing his mother so easily subdued by Jiang Yu, Jiang Yang felt both anger and heartache, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. "Jiang Yu...you...let go of my mother..."

Jiang Yang roared hoarsely, his voice filled with despair and helplessness.

Ignoring Jiang Yang's roar, Jiang Yu continued, "Back then, I possessed a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, a rare and precious innate talent that could have helped me on my path of cultivation. But your mother, in order to give you this talent, cruelly dug out my Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart and gave it to you!"

"What?! Such a thing actually happened! To rip out someone's heart is utterly inhumane!"

"No wonder Jiang Yu hates them so much; such evil deeds are truly unforgivable!"

These words shocked everyone present. A collective gasp filled the air, their faces showing disbelief.

The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is a rare spiritual object, one in ten thousand. Its possessor not only cultivates at an extraordinary speed, but also has a comprehension of various techniques that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Wang Li actually went so far as to harm a child for Jiang Yang's sake.

Lying on the ground, Jiang Yang was startled upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashing in his previously angry eyes. "Mother, what he said... is it true?" He turned his head with difficulty to look at Wang Li, his voice trembling slightly.

Wang Li was in tears, her eyes filled with pain and regret. She slowly closed her eyes and tacitly agreed with Jiang Yu's words.

At that moment, Jiang Yang felt dizzy and disoriented.

Seeing Jiang Yang's reaction, Jiang Yu sneered: "Jiang Yang, for so many years, you have enjoyed the talent that rightfully belongs to me and accepted the Jiang family's pampering without a care in the world. Have you ever thought about what kind of life my mother and I have been living?"

Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with pain and anger, as if he had returned to that dark time.

“Ever since my Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart was taken away, my cultivation path has been fraught with difficulties, and I have suffered ridicule and bullying. My mother has been running around trying to protect me, but she still couldn’t escape your persecution.” Jiang Yu clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly. “And you, on the other hand, are living a carefree life in the Jiang family, enjoying everything.”

Upon hearing this, the dean and elders' expressions turned extremely grim.

They knew that if this was true, Wang Li's actions were truly outrageous.

An elder couldn't help but angrily rebuke, "Wang Li, as an elder, how could you do such a heinous thing? It is truly against morality and ethics!"

Murong Xue, Lu Shaoyou, and other outstanding disciples also showed indignation.

Murong Xue frowned and said softly, "I never thought there would be such a heartless person in the world who would stop at nothing for the sake of his child."

Jiang Yang was in great pain. He looked at Jiang Yu, opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

He felt both guilty towards Jiang Yu and disappointed in his mother.

“Jiang Yu, I…” Jiang Yang began with difficulty, but was interrupted by Jiang Yu.

“You don’t need to say anything,” Jiang Yu said coldly. “I will not easily forget the pain of these past years. Today, I will make you pay the price for what you have done.”

Wang Li suddenly struggled to her feet, knelt on the ground, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Jiang Yu, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry to you and your mother. If you want to kill or torture someone, come at me. Let Yang'er go. He doesn't know anything."

Jiang Yu looked at Wang Li kneeling on the ground, his heart unwavering.

"Let him go? When you attacked me and my mother back then, did you ever think this day would come?" Jiang Yu's voice was cold and firm. "You brought this on yourselves."

Jiang Yang gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet. He looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes filled with pain and determination: "Jiang Yu, I know my mother did something wrong, and I'm willing to bear the consequences. But I hope you can give me a chance to make amends in my own way."
