The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

The person in his arms didn't seem like a living person, but rather like a branding iron fresh out of the furnace.

Xiao Ruoye's combat uniform was now just shreds hanging from her body. The golden light beneath her skin grew brighter and brighter, and a crackling sound of electricity could even be heard. That was the Geng metal energy cutting through her flesh.

The needle she used to kill Xiao Wanshan just now brought out all the resentment she had accumulated for over twenty years.

The inner demons stirred up evil energy, pushing her physique to the brink of collapse.

"Let go of my hand."

Jiang Chen tried to pry Xiao Ruoye's fingers off.

The woman was delirious with pain, her five fingers digging into Jiang Chen's shoulder flesh like steel hooks. Her fingernails were torn off, covered in blood.

Xiao Ruoye didn't react, but let out a low growl like a wild beast.

Her pupils dilated completely, leaving only two golden flames burning.

"This is a backlash." Shen Suxin leaned closer, but before she could touch Xiao Ruoye, she was repelled by an invisible force. "Brother Jiang, her meridians are about to break. The spiritual energy here is too thin to suppress."

Jiang Chen looked up and glanced at the Xiao family members kneeling on the ground.

"Where does the Xiao family's foundation lie?"

His voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

The Third Elder, kneeling at the front, trembled all over, not daring to raise his head, and pointed to the inconspicuous barren mountain behind the mansion.

"The...forbidden area in the back mountain."

"That's where the heads of the family have secluded themselves for generations. There's a 'Gold-Transforming Spiritual Spring,' but... it's a death trap, only for those on the verge of death..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Chen had already disappeared from the spot.

The water on the ground was trampled into a deep pit, and mud splashed all over the Third Elder's face.

……

There is no road on the back mountain.

It was all covered with waist-high weeds and scattered rocks.

Jiang Chen, carrying Xiao Ruoye, moved with incredible speed, using the cliff face as leverage to maneuver and move.

The person in my arms was trembling more and more violently.

That metallic stiffness was spreading from her limbs to her heart. Once her heart also became metallic, even a celestial being couldn't save her.

"Kill me..."

Xiao Ruoye suddenly spoke.

The sound was like sandpaper scraping against a rusty iron plate.

She opened her golden eyes, and what flowed from the corners of her eyes was not tears, but pale golden blood.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

"Shut up."

Jiang Chen let out a low shout and poured his true energy into her body as if it were free, forcibly protecting her heart meridian.

There is no road ahead.

A moss-covered stone wall blocked their way. A huge character for "forbidden" was carved on it, the characters exuding a chilling murderous intent.

Jiang Chen did not slow down.

He freed one hand and punched the stone wall.

"Boom!"

Pebbles flew everywhere.

The half-meter-thick stone door burst open as if it were made of paper.

A thick, suffocatingly hot, humid white vapor rushed towards us.

It's a cave inside.

In the very center is a pool about two meters square, the water of which is an eerie milky white color and is bubbling with steam.

Jiang Chen rushed over and threw Xiao Ruoye, clothes and all, into the pool.

"Sizzle—"

It's like throwing a red-hot iron block into cold water.

The pool water boiled instantly.

Xiao Ruoye let out a shrill scream and sprang up from the water.

The white pool water turned black as soon as it touched her skin, a sign that the evil energy within her was being forced out.

But that's not enough.

The speed at which the evil energy was expelled could not keep up with the speed at which her body was collapsing.

"what!"

Xiao Ruoye struggled frantically, her hands flailing wildly in the air.

Jiang Chen reached out and pressed her shoulder.

"Pfft."

Xiao Ruoye's fingers traced across Jiang Chen's arm.

The protective aura couldn't stop it.

Jiang Chen had three deep cuts on his forearm, exposing the bone, and blood gushed out instantly.

True dragon blood.

Blood dripped into the white pool water.

The once boiling spring suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Followed by.

The entire cave began to shake.

Those few drops of blood acted like a fuse, instantly detonating the array that had been dormant at the bottom of the pool for hundreds of years.

"Buzz—"

The pool water turned a pale gold color.

Countless golden runes rose from the bottom of the water, like a giant net, trying to trap the people in the pool to death.

This is a method left behind by the Xiao family ancestors.

It was used to refine the excessively violent Geng metal energy within the clansmen; it was said to save people, but in reality, it was also killing them.

If you can't withstand this power, you'll be turned into a mindless metal puppet.

"Brother Jiang!"

Shen Suxin, who arrived shortly after, stood at the cave entrance, her expression changing.

She sensed danger.

This place rejects all outsiders.

"Stay outside."

Jiang Chen didn't even turn his head.

He watched Xiao Ruoye floating in the golden water.

That once handsome face was now contorted beyond recognition, its skin shifting between a metallic sheen and a normal flesh color, a back-and-forth motion.

The clothes had long been pulverized by the sharpness of the blade.

She was like a dying fish, making its last struggle on the chopping board.

Shen Suxin gritted her teeth and took a step back.

She pulled the mud-covered hoe from her bosom and held it horizontally in front of her.

Outside the cave.

The sound of hurried footsteps was approaching.

The few persistent retainers from the Xiao family, along with the Jun family's spies lurking in the shadows, all followed.

They wanted to see if this jinx who had turned the capital upside down would die in the Xiao family's forbidden area.

For the first time, the timid look in Shen Suxin's doe-like eyes was gone.

She took a deep breath.

Dark green poisonous gas spread along her skirt, sealing the entire opening completely.

"Whoever comes in dies."

Shen Suxin spoke to the darkness outside.

The voice was very soft and gentle.

But the footsteps outside stopped abruptly.

……

Inside the cave.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker.

Jiang Chen could sense that the sharp, metallic energy in the air was indiscriminately attacking all living things.

The stone wall was covered with countless scratches.

Xiao Ruoye could no longer make a sound.

Her body was arched backward, suspended on the surface of the water.

The spine emitted a series of popping sounds, and bone spurs protruded from the back, threatening to pierce the skin and flesh.

This is a complete alienation.

Once she grows bone wings, she will no longer be human, but a Gengjin demon that only knows how to kill.

Jiang Chen no longer hesitated.

He stepped into the pool.

The scalding hot liquid spilled over his waist.

The stinging sensation felt like countless needles were pricking his pores.

Jiang Chen ignored all of that.

He walked up behind Xiao Ruoye and looked at her smooth but cracked back.

The protruding bone spurs were trembling.

"Bear with it."

Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

He raised his hands, and golden light surged in his palms.

The aura of a true dragon is extremely strong and yang.

This is the only thing that can suppress the sharpness of Geng metal.

But this is also a double-edged sword.

If one is not careful, the collision of these two extreme forces will blast Xiao Ruoye into pieces.

As if sensing something, Xiao Ruoye suddenly turned around.

Jiang Chen's face was reflected in those golden eyes.

No focal length.

Only instinctive desire.

That is the yearning of yin for yang, the submission of subjects to the emperor.

"River……"

Her lips moved.

Jiang Chen pressed his palms heavily against her burning hot vest.
