Chapter 355 Extra Chapter: Who's the Madman?
Chang Tianchen's initial plan was to give Chang Yinbo a choice after his injuries healed: either leave Huangyan Beast City on his own, or go wherever he wanted, and if they met again in the future, he would not show him any mercy if he was in the enemy's camp.

but now……

Chang Tianchen was also a bit of a headache, wondering how this kid had ended up in this state.

Xuan Yan looked at him sitting in the chair, lost in thought, and shook his head helplessly. After finishing the crepe in his hand, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his fingers, stood up and said, "I just came to tell you that I can only say that I will do my best to treat him. If things don't turn out as expected, don't come after me for medical malpractice."

Chang Tianchen glanced at him and said speechlessly, "Is that the kind of person you see?"

"When it comes to being unreasonable, if you claim to be second, then Ling Chengen would dare to claim to be first."

Chang Tianchen locked his gaze on him with a death stare: "Believe it or not, I'll turn around and relay these words back to you?"

Xuan Yan clicked his tongue and immediately said seriously, "You really can't take a joke!"

"Forget it, I'm going back. I'm too lazy to argue with you."

……

Because Chang Yinbo lost his superpowers, his physical recovery ability was also much worse than before, so he lived in the wounded soldiers' camp for a long time.

He showed no intention of leaving on his own, nor did he express any demands. Chang Tianchen was also very busy every day, and eventually forgot about him.

It wasn't until Shi Panxing intercepted Sha Qing that Chang Tianchen received the news and saw Chang Yinbo again.

It's unclear how Sha Qing and her group infiltrated the city. She led her men in two groups, intending to rescue the nobles imprisoned in the dungeon. However, for some reason, after learning Chang Yinbo's identity and whereabouts from the nobles in the dungeon, Sha Qing went to the wounded and sick camp to try and bring him out as well.

Chang Tianchen looked at Chang Yinbo, who was being held in Sha Qing's hands, his brows furrowed, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Shi Panxing had already used his supernatural abilities to block off the entire street, stopping dozens of prisoners who were trying to escape.

This space is not spacious; it belongs to the old streets of the slave district of Huangyan Beast City. The streets are narrow, and the rough Huangyan buildings are densely packed. Sewage and garbage disposal are very poor, so the ground here is black everywhere and emits a strong sour stench under the high temperature.

After the army entered the city, Chang Tianchen and Shi Panxing focused on defending against the foreign enemies and dealing with Sha Qing and others. They also had to deal with the slaves who had not escaped from the city, as well as a large number of nobles who surrendered without a fight...

There's no time to address the environmental issues at Huangyan Animal City right now.

Chang Tianchen stood in the narrow street for a while, then felt his head spinning from the stench. He couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand and looked at Shi Panxing, who was standing in the shadows in the corner wearing a white cloak. He looked pale and said, "Couldn't you have chosen a better place to make your move? Why did you have to pick this place?"

Shi Panxing remained calm and unperturbed by the dirty and chaotic environment before him. He smiled and said, "I thought you were going to thank me. I deliberately chose this place. It's the worst spot in the city. When the fighting starts, it will definitely affect many buildings. Even if these buildings are damaged, there's nothing to feel bad about. They can be rebuilt as soon as possible."

Chang Tianchen: "This is torture for my nose."

Shi Panxing looked at Sha Qing, but still spared some attention to deal with Chang Tianchen: "Being distracted by such unimportant factors shows that your cultivation is not up to par and you are not worthy of the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by Ling Chengen."

Chang Tianchen's expression immediately changed, and he sneered, "Whether I'm worthy or not is none of your business!"

Shi Panxing slowly raised his hand and asked, "Aren't you going to save your brother?"

Chang Tianchen asked irritably, "How can I save him? By trading my life for his?"

"It's a pity, I value my life very much."

Shi Panxing looked at the enemies who were picking up their weapons and quickly assigned tasks: "I'll deal with Sha Qing, the rest are yours!"

Chang Tianchen raised an eyebrow and said, "Let me try first. I've been looking for an opportunity to break through recently, but I'm still just a little short."

He is currently at the peak of the sixteenth level, and has been stuck at this level for several years, unable to find an opportunity to break through, as if he has reached a bottleneck.

Only when he encounters a more formidable enemy can he unleash greater potential, and perhaps a breakthrough opportunity will arise in the face of life and death.

A comfortable environment cannot cultivate fierce and powerful warriors.

Shi Panxing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sha Qing's power should not be underestimated. She is not an ordinary seventeenth-level cultivator, but the peak of the seventeenth-level cultivator, and is actually on par with Yu Heng."

Chang Tianchen turned his head to look at Shi Panxing and asked curiously, "If you were to fight Yuheng, what would your chances of winning be?"

Shi Panxing chuckled and said, "Who knows? We've never fought."

"However, my chances of winning against you are absolutely 100%."

Chang Tianchen chuckled coldly, drew his halberd, and poked the tip of the spear into the hard, flat rock. He was too lazy to talk to Shi Panxing, who couldn't hold his tongue.

It's just the seventeenth level. Once he advances, who knows who will beat whom!
……

After Chang Tianchen rushed out, Shi Panxing was not as relaxed as he appeared, but remained on guard at all times.

Chang Tianchen was Ling Chengen's right-hand man. If he were to die in Huangyan Beast City, it would be difficult for him to explain to Ling Chengen. In the future, if they wanted to cooperate in the far north sea and on land, the process would probably be much more complicated.

Therefore, he had to make sure that Chang Tianchen wouldn't die at Sha Qing's hands.

This is quite difficult.

The outcome of battles between top-tier warriors often hinges on the smallest of margins.

The slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of the army and the loss of lives.

Moreover, Sha Qing also had Chang Yinbo in her hands.

Shi Panxing didn't think Sha Qing truly considered Chang Yinbo her partner, but he also couldn't understand why she would go to such great lengths to bring him out of the wounded soldiers' camp.

If they wanted to hold Chang Yinbo hostage... that's quite possible.

But doing so is actually riskier.

It would be better to just take the nobles who escaped from the dungeon and leave, which would reduce the time spent in the city and increase the chances of escaping alive.

Just as Sha Qing pushed Chang Yinbo out as a shield, preparing to make Chang Tianchen retreat, Chang Tianchen did not back down at all. The tip of his halberd was still pointing straight at Sha Qing, as if he wanted to seriously injure her at any cost.

Seeing this, Sha Qing frowned slightly, shifted her body, and wrapped her long tail covered in scales around Chang Yinbo's waist, decisively throwing him to the other side and catching the tip of Chang Tianchen's weapon with her bare hands.

"They really went all out, even killing their own blood relatives."

Sha Qing couldn't help but sigh. She didn't take Chang Tianchen's attack to heart. Her beast-like fingers and palms came together on the spearhead, and with a sudden twist, the halberd spun rapidly in Chang Tianchen's hand, bursting into flames.

Sha Qing and Chang Tianchen both possess fire-based abilities.

However, Sha Qing's level far surpasses Chang Tianchen's, and her understanding of fire is also far superior to his.

Therefore, apart from being full of vigor when he first launched his attack, Chang Tianchen's situation deteriorated rapidly in the later battles. He was constantly at a disadvantage and was even suppressed by Sha Qing, unable to find any chance to fight back.

Shi Panxing looked at Chang Tianchen, who was being beaten one-sidedly, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Then, while Sha Qing was deliberately teasing Chang Tianchen, he suddenly put his ten fingers together in front of him and quickly twisted a few fingers, and the surrounding space suddenly began to distort.

Sha Qing noticed the change in space and immediately became alert, losing her previous ease.

However, spatial attacks are too unpredictable.

Even though she was mentally prepared, the spatial displacement still severed her tail in an instant.

She only realized that her usually incredibly strong whip tail, which she was so proud of, had suddenly broken off when she felt an unbearable pain in her body.

Sha Qing's face turned pale instantly. She tried to retrieve the whip tail, but another spatial blade fell.

As if sensing something amiss, she jerked her hand back, only to have her fingernails cleanly severed, narrowly escaping death.

Shi Panxing opened his left hand, palm facing up.

Sha Qing's beast-shaped tail landed in his hand. Chang Yinbo, who had been caught in the tail and was already unconscious from being hit and swung back and forth, fell directly at his feet.

Shi Panxing tilted his head slightly, grabbed Chang Yinbo by the shoulder with one hand, and threw him behind him.

Wu Zhuo spread its wings, its claws scraping the ground as it caught Chang Yinbo.

"After all this trouble of sending him for treatment, he's probably half dead again."

"This person is really unlucky."

I keep encountering unexpected disasters.

Wu Zhuo led his men into the sky and quickly left the battlefield, urgently transporting them to the medical area.

……

After Chang Tianchen was slapped away by Sha Qing again, Shi Panxing raised his hand to support Chang Tianchen's back and asked, "Haven't you been beaten enough? I even cut off her tail, and you still can't beat her. It means she's not suitable for you to practice on."

Chang Tianchen raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. After steadying himself, he opened his mouth and his teeth were covered in blood. He said in a very disheveled state, "Let me try again."

This time, Shi Panxing decisively pinned him down, using the scabbard of his short sword, which was about an arm's length long, to press directly against Chang Tianchen's side. The pain made Chang Tianchen gasp, and he turned his head to glare at him fiercely.

“You have at least three broken ribs. If you continue to fight, you will probably have to stay in bed for a month to recover from all these injuries.”

Shi Panxing didn't give him any chance to refute, kicking him out of the sealed space and walking step by step toward Sha Qing and the nobles she was protecting behind her.

His light, rhythmic footsteps, tap-tap-tap, sounded like the tolling of a death knell, striking the hearts of every nobleman.

Sha Qing watched as the tail in his hand was crushed and fell through his fingers like mud. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her anger was surging. But a last shred of reason kept her in check, allowing her to suppress her instinct to attack.

It's too dangerous for Shi Panxing.

They shouldn't have listened to the opinions of the other members of the clan in the first place. After obtaining enough merman blood, they should have just killed him.

Instead of keeping people confined...

Unexpectedly, they left behind a seed of annihilation for themselves.

……

After Chang Tianchen was kicked out of the Star Climbing Space, he looked up again and found that the environment in front of him had completely changed.

As he stood up, leaning against the wall, Lin Quan reached out to support his other arm, took the halberd from his hand, and handed it to the guard behind him.

Looking at the empty street in front of him, Chang Tianchen asked in confusion, "Where is Shi Panxing?"

Lin Quan said, "After the Northern Star King sealed off the space, we could no longer see what was happening inside."

“We couldn’t see you fighting inside just now.”

Chang Tianchen exclaimed in shock, "What kind of ability is this? Is the spatial ability really this terrifying?"

Lin Quan was already shocked, but now he remained calm and said, "During the previous battle, the Northern Star King didn't use his full strength at all, not even half of his true power. Fortunately, he wasn't our enemy, otherwise it would have been really troublesome."

Chang Tianchen tried to take a few steps forward and found that he could pass through, but the surroundings were empty and he couldn't see a single person.

Lin Quan originally wanted his guards to take Chang Tianchen back for treatment, but Chang Tianchen refused to leave and asked his guards to find a chair. He sat down directly in the middle of the street and insisted on waiting for Shi Panxing to come out.

He insisted on staying here to see how long it would take Shi Panxing to win over Sha Qing!
……

As the spatial barrier disappeared, blood had already filled the shallow drainage ditches on both sides of the street.

The chair leg beneath Chang Tianchen's buttocks was also stained red with blood.

The soldiers, who had been bored out of their minds due to the long wait, suddenly snapped out of it, gripping their weapons and aiming at the street ahead, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The sound of footsteps approached, and Shi Panxing's body passed through the blurry barrier. He moved his wrists and found that his palms and cuffs were covered in blood. He frowned in disgust and waved to the water-type warrior not far away: "Get me some water to wash it off."

Chang Tianchen, supporting himself on a chair, suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is Sha Qingren?"

"Dead," Shi Panxing replied calmly.

Chang Tianchen stepped towards the barrier, and the water-film-like spatial ripples disappeared.

The scene before them silenced everyone.

Several newly enlisted young soldiers couldn't hold it in and turned to lean against the wall, retching.

Chang Tianchen's pupils also contracted, and he didn't take another step forward.

His shoes, once covered in mud and grime, were now soaked in blood, and he felt a chill beneath his feet.

The streets were deserted; there was no one there.

But there were many... body parts scattered on the ground.

Chang Tianchen looked back at Shi Panxing's back of the head with a complicated expression, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he silently walked back, waved to Lin Quan, and ordered, "Have someone clean this place up."

"The collapsed houses should be demolished, and this area can be rebuilt later."

This place is no longer suitable for habitation.

Only after returning to his tent did Chang Tianchen lie down on the bed, letting Xuan Yan examine him.

He opened his eyes, stared at the patterns on the tent ceiling, and said in a deep voice, "Shi Panxing is a madman."

Xuan Yan glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Do you have the right to call others crazy?"

Chang Tianchen turned his head and glanced at him, then sneered, "Compared to him, I'm perfectly normal."

Even though he was violent and bloodthirsty, he never tortured or killed his enemies.

No wonder Ling Chengen had repeatedly warned him that Shi Panxing was dangerous and that he should not provoke him.

Xuan Yan poked the skin on his cheekbone with a sterilized cotton ball, watching the muscles in his eyes and face twitch. After a moment, he said, "This King of the North Star has a very bad reputation among the tribes in the Northern Wilderness Mountains."

"It doesn't have a good reputation among the sea creatures either."

Chang Tianchen turned his head to ask something, but almost got his eyes poked by an alcohol swab. He immediately scooted his head to the inside of the bed, wanting to get angry, but then he remembered that if he offended Xuan Yan now, he would definitely be the one to suffer, so he shut his mouth in a huff.

Xuan Yan took it all in stride, saying with great clarity, "Don't overthink it. No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he doesn't harm the orcs of our Xiao Kingdom, what does it matter how bad his reputation is? He is an ally chosen by our Emperor."

Chang Tianchen took a deep breath, and his ribs immediately hurt so much that he grimaced. After the pain subsided, he said, "After you've treated the wound, call Lin Jing in later."

Xuan Yan asked, "Should we block the news?"

Chang Tianchen rolled his eyes at him: "Otherwise what? He doesn't care about his reputation, but do we? Xiao Kingdom and the Far North Sea are currently bound together. Once the news of the massacre gets out, we'll be seen as accomplices. Ling Chengen's goal is the entire Southern Plains. If his reputation is ruined because of something like this, how will he subdue the orcs of the Southern Plains?"

Xuan Yan glanced at him in surprise, a hint of relief in his eyes: "Thank goodness, I never expected that the arrival of the Northern Star King would turn you into such a thoughtful and restrained person!"

Chang Tianchen's face darkened, his expression turning slightly sinister: "...If you mock me again, believe me, I'll arrange for a few young, strong, and promising high-quality men to pursue the girl you like next time?"

Xuan Yan silently raised the curved needle he had used to stitch up the wound, his expression slightly stern: "Give it a try!"

"If you dare to do that, I guarantee you'll spend the rest of your life paralyzed in bed, dealing with poop and pee."
