The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

The main entrance on the first floor of the villa no longer exists.

All that remained were splinters of wood and the wreckage of a door frame that had been violently kicked away.

The cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, poured in through the huge gap.

Su Zhen was wearing a thick black mink coat, twirling two iron gallbladders in his hands, his face trembling with menacing features.

Behind him followed an elderly man with a hunched back.

The old man was completely wrapped in a large black robe, obscuring his face; only the sound of his labored breathing, like a bellows, could be heard from his throat.

A nauseating stench of rotting corpses filled the living room as the old man moved around.

"Jiang Chen!"

Su Zhen looked up at the figure at the top of the stairs on the second floor, his eyes filled with resentment and the pleasure of impending revenge.

"Stop pretending up there."

"You must have exhausted all your inner energy trying to save that wretched girl, right?"

Su Zhen squeezed the iron ball in his hand so hard it made a cracking sound.

He knew all too well how domineering the "Ice Phoenix Body" was.

That was an extremely cold and malevolent aura that even Master Zhao from the provincial capital dared not approach.

Jiang Chen was able to break through the ice and save the person, which definitely meant he had exhausted his life force.

Jiang Chen now is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out; he looks scary, but he's just an empty shell.

Jiang Chen stood at the top of the stairs.

He had his left arm around Su Jinyu's slender waist, while his right hand held the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking.

Su Jinyu had just woken up from being frozen and was still somewhat weak, so she leaned most of her weight on Jiang Chen.

She frowned, looking down at Su Zhen with disgust.

"Su Zhen, you've brought outsiders into the West Garden; are you trying to rebel?"

"rebel?"

Su Zhen laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the empty villa.

"My dear cousin, how come you still don't understand the situation?"

"This West Garden has always been mine!"

"As long as you two die here tonight, tomorrow Qin City will still be under my control, Su Zhen's rule!"

Su Zhen turned to look at the old man in black robes behind him, his tone instantly becoming respectful.

"Master Bone, please lend a hand."

"Once it's done, I'll immediately send the ten pure yin maidens I promised you to your residence."

The old man in black robes let out a strange laugh.

He stretched out a withered hand, like a chicken claw, and lifted the hood from his head.

His face was covered with dark purple pustules, and one eye was blind, leaving only a dark eye socket.

Su Jinyu gasped and instinctively shrank into Jiang Chen's arms.

"Jiang Chen... there's something very strange about him."

Jiang Chen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with the toe of his foot.

"It's just a low-down trick involving insects."

Upon hearing this, Master Bone's single eye instantly flashed with a fierce light.

"You little brat, you dare to be so stubborn even when you're about to die!"

"My Nine Corpse Soul-Devouring Gu was nurtured using the corpse oil of nine pregnant women who died violent deaths. It is specifically designed to destroy a martial artist's true energy!"

"Even if you are a grandmaster, the slightest touch will turn you into a pool of blood!"

Master Bone suddenly shook his wide sleeves.

"Buzz—"

A burst of rapid wingbeats rang out.

Countless tiny black flying insects, no bigger than grains of rice, swarmed out of his sleeve.

These flying insects gathered together, forming a swirling dark cloud that emitted a pungent, fishy stench, and hurtled towards Jiang Chen and Su Jinyu on the second floor.

Wherever it passed, even the air was corroded, producing a hissing sound.

Su Jinyu's face turned deathly pale.

She could sense the terrifying toxicity contained in those flying insects.

If that were to touch you, you would be completely obliterated.

She was about to circulate the newly awakened Ice Phoenix True Qi within her body to resist.

A warm, large hand pressed down on her shoulder.

"Save your energy."

Jiang Chen pulled her behind him.

He stared at the approaching black cloud of insects, his face expressionless.

He didn't even raise his hand.

Jiang Chen simply opened his mouth slightly and gently blew a breath towards the dark cloud.

"call."

This breath was exhaled.

The previously invisible air instantly transformed into a crimson heatwave.

That was the purest Yang energy within Jiang Chen's body.

The heatwave rolled in like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

boom!

The wisp of air was ignited in mid-air, transforming into a golden sea of ​​fire.

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

The swarm of poisonous insects, which had been so menacing just moments before, suddenly let out a piercing scream.

It's like pouring a basin of ice water into a pot of boiling oil.

The crackling and popping sounds were incessant.

Those Nine Corpse Soul-Devouring Gu, which were said to be indestructible and capable of destroying true qi, couldn't even last a second against the raging fire formed from Jiang Chen's true qi.

Countless charred insect corpses fell to the ground like rain.

The fishy smell instantly turned into a burnt smell.

"puff!"

Master Bone, who was standing downstairs, suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

These venomous insects were connected to his mind and spirit.

With the Gu worms destroyed, his mind and spirit suffered a severe blow.

"This...this is true qi transforming into fire?!"

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Master Bone clutched his chest, his single eye filled with utter horror.

This is a technique that only those legendary, reclusive old monsters could master.

How could this young man in his twenties possibly have done this?

escape!

We must escape!

Without any hesitation, Master Bone turned and rushed towards the gate.

They didn't even care about Su Zhen anymore.

"Since you're here, why not stay?"

Jiang Chen stood on the stairs, looking down at the disheveled figure fleeing.

He slowly extended his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air towards Master Bone's back.

"return."

An invisible suction force suddenly erupted.

Just as Master Bone reached the doorway, he was gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.

His feet dragged two deep furrows in the ground, but he was utterly powerless against that terrifying force.

"No! Spare me! Your Honor, spare me!"

Master Bone struggled desperately, uttering pitiful pleas for mercy.

Jiang Chen clenched his fist suddenly.

"Snap!"

A sickening cracking sound rang out.

Master Bone leaped into the air, flying towards the second floor like a rag doll.

Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed his crown.

Apply force with all five fingers.

"You dare to flaunt your evil magic from the southern borders in front of me?"

Jiang Chen's voice was calm, and his wrist twitched slightly.

The violent true energy poured in through the top of Master Bone's head, instantly shattering all the meridians in his body.

Before Master Bone could even let out a scream, his body went limp and he was completely lifeless.

Jiang Chen casually tossed it aside.

boom.

Master Bone's corpse traced an arc and crashed heavily at Su Zhen's feet.

Those two unclosed eyes stared straight at Su Zhen.

The iron gall bladder in Su Zhen's hand fell to the ground.

He didn't even feel any pain when it hit his foot.

He collapsed to the ground, his crotch soaked with a large wet patch.

The stench of urine mixed with the smell of burning was particularly pungent in the living room.

died?

Master Bone, who swept across the southern border and was known as the Venerable Poison Hand, was crushed to death like an ant.

Is this the "useless Jiang Chen" he described as "at the end of his rope"?

Footsteps sounded.

Jiang Chen led Su Jinyu down the stairs step by step.

Every step felt like it was stepping on Su Zhen's heart.

"Is this your trump card?"

Jiang Chen walked up to Su Zhen and looked down at the once arrogant young master of the Su family.

His gaze was as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.

Is anyone else here?

"If not, it's time to hit the road."

Su Zhen trembled violently and moved backward using both his hands and feet.

His back slammed against the cold wall, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

"No...don't kill me..."

"I'm from the Su family... I'm Jinyu's cousin..."

"Jinyu! Jinyu, please plead for me! I'm your older brother!"

Su Zhen was crying and sniffling, and there was no trace of his arrogant demeanor from before.

Su Jinyu turned her head away, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but more so a resolute determination.

When Su Zhen asked that old monster to release the insects, he didn't consider the slightest bit of brotherly affection.

Jiang Chen lifted his foot.

Just then.

Su Zhen, whose face was originally filled with despair, suddenly had a glint of madness in his eyes.

He suddenly reached into his robes with his right hand and pulled out a jet-black jade talisman.

"Jiang Chen! You forced me to do this!"

"If we're going to die, we'll all die together!"

Su Zhen roared hysterically, pressing his thumb hard on the jade talisman.
