Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Jiang Mian's voice was calm, yet carried an indescribable coldness, striking a heavy blow to everyone's hearts.

Especially the Zhao family.

They originally thought that executing the mastermind Zhao Heling on the spot was the limit, but they never expected that they would have to kill all the sixth-level beings directly.

Yes, they did something wrong.

But hasn't the Zhao family also made quite a few contributions over the years?

Even now, the Zhao family still has one seventh-level expert and many disciples fighting against the disaster on the front lines.

In their eyes, Jiang Mian was no different from those monsters, except that he had a good-looking appearance.

Such an outlier, staying within the official system, is like a rootless duckweed, destined to break away sooner or later.

By doing this, she wasn't afraid...

Even now, the Zhao family still harbors a sliver of hope.

Regardless of logic, I just kept consoling myself:

It will be alright.

Zhou Bingkun's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected everything.

Jiang Mian's thinking was very clear. As a sixth-order cultivator, he certainly had a lot of say within the clan, so it was only natural for him to take on the main responsibility.

Just considering the "black hole bomb," could Zhao Heling make the decision on his own?

In short, none of them are innocent!

This move is to eradicate this malignant tumor completely!

He raised his hand and waved, and the sheriff behind him immediately raised the remote-controlled alien artifacts in his hands, pointing them at the Zhao family members to warn them not to act rashly.

"Patriarch Zhao, elders, please."

Zhou Bingkun snorted coldly and made a "please" gesture.

Last night, Ye Chenyang gave him a solution, and he finally got rid of that thing.

Zhou Bingkun felt refreshed and invigorated, and with a powerful backer, he felt much more confident.

"If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being impolite."

"hehe."

Zhao Heling chuckled softly, his face visibly darkening.

Cooperate, cooperate with what?

Are we just going to offer our necks for execution?!

Ye Chenyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a surge of [Radiance] power was already gathering in his palm.

These guys were corrupted by the Seed of Desire, and all their desires increased dramatically, including their will to survive.

They certainly won't give in obediently; sooner or later they'll retaliate.

Seeing an opportunity, Yun Han stepped forward, trying to make his presence known and take over Zhou Bingkun's role as the "megaphone":

"What, you have something else to say?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Heling suddenly sprang up, her target aimed directly at Yun Han!

"Delay it a little longer, just a little longer!"

If we can wait for the old man to return, things might still turn around!

With this in mind, he unleashed his full power.

His originally thin body swelled up like a balloon, transforming into a muscular beast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Yun Han.

"grass!"

Yun Han's expression changed.

This bastard actually dared to lay a hand on me? He's got some nerve!

I heard this guy is a Sequence 35 [Po Jun].

The basic mechanism is to accumulate passive buffs for oneself through various aggressive attack behaviors.

When an awakened person possesses an unshakable belief, they will receive an additional boost.

He quickly mobilized the fire element, forming a platinum-colored flame cloak on his body.

However, when Zhao Heling rushed in front of Yun Han, she suddenly made a sharp turn.

At the same time, the other three sixth-level members of the Zhao family, as if they had planned it in advance, simultaneously attacked Jiang Mian's direction!

She's going to kill them anyway, what else is there to say?

The energy emanating from the four seemed to resonate in an unusual way, and with each other's support, they formed a power second only to the seventh rank!

Jiang Mian stood rooted to the spot, seemingly not having reacted yet.

In fact, her senses had already clearly captured the movement patterns of the group.

Zhou Bingkun is a sixth-level [Mind Image].

From the very beginning, he cast a [Perception Amplification] on each of his teammates.

Among them, Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang have the most extraordinary mental strength attributes and the greatest improvement.

"They only remember the good times, not the bad ones..."

Jiang Mian sighed inwardly.

Knowing full well that it's the end of the world, why would they still fight themselves in close combat?

Good, this is just in time to trigger the [Universe Illusion] skill, saving her the trouble of searching for them one by one.

Just then, Ye Chenyang unleashed the [Immobilization Spell] that he had been preparing for a long time, freezing everyone in place.

"Huh? Group control?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Jiang Mian's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

We'll talk about it later!

She transformed into a streak of black light and "whoosh" passed right through the four of them.

The next second, before they could even exit the controlled state, they all transformed into purple crystal sculptures.

Just as Jiang Mian was about to detonate them, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the sky, making everyone's eardrums ache.

"stop!"

A burly figure fell from the sky and crashed into the center of the two opposing sides.

"Boom!"

Everyone turned their attention to it.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, but he was broad-shouldered and burly, exuding a fierce and courageous aura.

Zhao Niugao, the seventh-ranking member of the Zhao family!

The Zhao family members had already given up hope, but seeing their biggest backer return, their eyes were filled with renewed hope.

"Grandpa!"

"The old man is back!"

Many people cried out in trembling voices, but Zhao Niugao didn't even glance at them.

He stared intently at the four Zhao family sixth-level cultivators who had already turned into statues, sensing their still vibrant life force, before speaking:

"You bunch of brats, are you trying to wipe out the entire Zhao family?"

Jiang Mian did not refute him, but simply looked at him calmly.

Ye Chenyang stepped forward, blocking her path, and said coldly:

"General Zhao, I deeply respect your bravery on the front lines. But are you aware of the actions the Zhao family has taken behind the scenes?"

"Um?"

Zhao Niugao frowned, glanced at Zhou Bingkun, and then at the Zhao family members whose eyes were darting around. He immediately felt uneasy.

Even before the birth of [Shura], he was stationed on the western frontier and rarely returned to participate in family affairs, and consequently, he knew very little about other matters.

Moreover, this young man in front of me looked strangely familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.

He immediately recognized the undisguised radiance emanating from Ye Chenyang and began to have a vague guess in his mind.

Ye Chenyang listed all the crimes committed by the Zhao family.

Stockpiling "ammunition," colluding with calamities, murdering the Inspector, and dropping the "Black Hole Bomb"...

With each crime listed, Zhao Niugao's face grew darker.

He turned to look at Zhao Yingming, whose face was deathly pale.

"Eagle Cry, is what he said true?"

Zhao Yingming remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

Zhao Niugao clenched his fists, and his aura became dangerous.

"Senior Zhao."

Jiang Mian seemed to have lost patience and said:

"You surely know how to deal with these masterminds according to the Temporary Security Act, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Niugao's face stiffened.

He was one of those who voted in favor when this thing was passed, how could he not know?

Although its name includes "temporary," it is more accurately described as a law that only came into effect during wartime.

The purpose is to act swiftly and decisively during special times to prevent traitors from delaying and taking the opportunity to escape.

The inspector has the right to execute these traitors on the spot, therefore...

"I've decided to maintain the original plan: kill!"

"wait……"

As soon as Zhao Niugao uttered a single word, the four amethyst statues silently disintegrated, turning into a sky full of crystal dust.

His lips twitched, but he swallowed the rest of his words.

After a few seconds, Zhao Niugao looked at Jiang Mian again.

His eyes were unusually calm, yet they carried an indescribable sense of oppression.

Jiang Mian's eyes turned golden as she coldly stared back at him.

Behind them, the silhouette of a massive black dragon loomed in and out of sight.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.
