The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

The order from the Dragon Guard headquarters exploded like a silent nuclear explosion in the night of the capital.

The news spread through countless secret channels at an unimaginable speed throughout the capital's high society.

"The Dragon-Slaying Order!"

"The highest level of bounty for the Red Dragon!"

"The reward is three Breakthrough Pills! Three! Enough for a second-rate family to produce three Grandmasters!"

"And there's the official protection of the Dragon Guard! Killing Jiang Chen is equivalent to gaining a favor from the Dragon Guard!"

In a Taoist temple shrouded in mist year-round in the western mountains of the capital, an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, who had been in seclusion for thirty years, suddenly opened his eyes.

The incense burner in front of him moved automatically without wind, and the incense ash swirled up and gathered without dispersing.

"Breakthrough Pill... Perhaps I can still fight for a little longer in my lifespan."

In a heavily guarded underground base in the south of the city, a muscular man who was practicing punches with a specially made alloy sandbag stopped.

"The protection of the Dragon Guard, huh? That's interesting."

He picked up a towel to wipe his sweat and gave the order into the communicator.

"Pass down the order: all members of the 'Hungry Wolf' squad, cancel your vacation, target Chun Ya Xuan."

Countless wolves and tigers lurking in the shadows of the capital smelled blood and bared their fangs.

……

Chunya Pavilion, the Song Family Villa.

Song Yuzhi's phone had been vibrating non-stop for the past five minutes.

The messages from business partners whom I usually look up to, and from scions of wealthy families whom I call brothers, were surprisingly consistent.

"Ms. Song, our cooperation will be temporarily suspended."

"Yu Zhi, I'm sorry, but the family has ordered that we should not contact each other for the time being."

A steward from the Song family rushed in, his face ashen.

"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! Three of our residential complexes in the east of the city have been seized by the eight major families!"

"The logistics center in the western suburbs has also had its water and electricity cut off, the reason being that it failed to meet fire safety standards!"

"And the bank we control just announced that it will liquidate our assets..."

One bad news after another came flying in like snowflakes.

The elders who had just sworn allegiance to Song Yuzhi in the hall gathered together again, whispering among themselves, their eyes filled with fear and resentment as they looked at Jiang Chen.

Song Yuzhi waved his hand, signaling the steward to leave.

She walked to the window and looked out at the courtyard, which was locked by countless infrared scopes. Her pretty face was completely bloodless.

She knew the Song family was finished.

At least in the eyes of everyone in the capital, the Song family is finished.

……

The most exclusive private club in the capital, "Tianque".

Inside a private room not open to the public, the heads of the eight most powerful families in the capital gathered together.

These people can shake the capital's economy with a stomp of their feet.

At this moment, they were toasting and drinking, the atmosphere was lively.

"Brother Li, the Dragon Guard has really gone all out this time. It seems that the kid surnamed Jiang has really stirred up a hornet's nest."

The head of the Wang family, a middle-aged man with a large belly, smiled as he held up his wine glass.

The man addressed as Brother Li was the head of the Li family, an old man with a sinister face.

He took a sip of his drink and said slowly, "A convict, he got lucky and thinks he can defy fate? What a fool."

However, the Zhang family patriarch shattered this joy: "But I heard that the Jun family ancestor had already reached the Golden Core stage back then. Do you think that kid might...?"

"Don't overthink it. The patriarch of the Jun family is old and frail. Besides, even if he's a Golden Core cultivator, there are ways to kill him."

"That's right," another Zhao family patriarch chimed in. "Once we take him down, we'll have to agree on how to divide the Song family's assets among our families beforehand."

"Haha, Brother Zhao, you're really impatient. The business is a minor matter; I'm more interested in the secrets that young man holds. And those women around him, each one a stunning beauty, what will happen then..."

A lewd laugh, the kind that any man would understand, rang out from inside the private room.

They were like a pack of hyenas pouncing on their prey, discussing how to divide the food.

It was as if Jiang Chen was already meat on their chopping board.

……

Chun Ya Xuan.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Outside the courtyard, the number of prying eyes increased, and they became increasingly brazen.

Several daring mercenaries even set up sniper rifles and began probing shots.

call out!

An armor-piercing shell, whistling, hurtled towards the floor-to-ceiling window of the hall.

The dried corpse puppet Jun Shanhe, who was guarding the door, had a flash of red light in its eye sockets.

He didn't move.

The bullet, about a meter away from his body, seemed to hit an invisible wall, momentarily stopping before falling limply to the ground.

Xiao Ruoye looked at the constantly flashing red dots outside the window and walked to Jiang Chen's side.

"This can't go on; their firepower is getting stronger and stronger."

"We should avoid confrontation for now and find a place to hide."

Junyao sat on the armrest of the sofa, swinging her two fair legs, and licked her lips.

"Master, those bugs outside are so annoying! Can you let Yao'er go out and eat them all?"

Shen Suxin remained silent.

She carried her small medicine basket and walked into the courtyard.

Beside those exotic flowers and rare herbs, she planted several more plants with even more bizarre shapes.

A faint black mist flowed over the leaves of those plants.

Jiang Chen stood on the second-floor terrace, looking down at the restless figures below.

The night breeze stirred the hem of his clothes.

call out!

Another bullet.

This one is aimed at his brow.

Jiang Chen slowly raised his hand, extending his index and middle fingers.

He casually held the rapidly spinning sniper bullet between his fingers.

The bullet tip was still slightly warm.

He rubbed his two fingers together gently.

The bullet, made of a special alloy, turned into a fine cloud of copper dust between his fingers and drifted away in the wind.

Jiang Chen turned around and looked at the three women who looked worried.

"hide?"

"That's not my style."

Xiao Ruoye said urgently, "Jiang Chen! Now is not the time to play the hero! Outside are the Dragon Guards, the eight great families of the capital, and the entire martial arts world of the capital!"

"We have no chance of winning if we go head-to-head with them!"

"Who said we were going to confront them head-on?"

Jiang Chen walked down the stairs and sat back down in his armchair.

"Since they want to play, I'll play a big game with them."

His gaze swept over the three women.

"We don't need to wait for them to break in."

"Tonight, I'm going to demolish the Dragon Guard headquarters."

In a word.

The entire hall fell silent instantly.

Xiao Ruoye, Shen Suxin, and Jun Yao were all stunned.

They thought they had misheard.

Should we demolish the Dragon Guard headquarters?

That is the country's most mysterious and powerful violent apparatus!

crazy!

This man must be insane!

"I'll go with you!" Xiao Ruoye was the first to react, and said decisively.

"Me too!" Junyao jumped off the railing, her face full of excitement.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Your task is to guard this place."

He pointed to the sculpted, mummified corpse puppet at the doorway.

"With him here, no one can hurt you."

"Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he stood up and walked straight toward the door.

There was no explanation.

There was no room for negotiation.

Alone, he pushed open the heavy door that separated the inner and outer worlds.

The night wind blew in, lifting the hem of his black clothes.

Outside the door, there was a massive army, a net that stretched to the heavens.

His silhouette looked like he was heading to a boring dinner party.

……

Across from Chun Ya Xuan, on the top floor of an unfinished building.

An observer dressed in a ghillie suit was staring intently at the gate of the villa through a high-powered telescope.

When that door was pushed open, when that figure walked out alone.

His breathing became rapid instantly.

He grabbed the walkie-talkie and, in a voice trembling with extreme excitement, roared:

"The target has been identified!"

"There's only one person!"

"Repeat! There's only one target!"

"All units! Prepare for concentrated fire!"
