The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

The black van came to a stop in front of the huge white marble screen wall.

The car door opened.

Jiang Chen got out of the car first, his ill-fitting white coat fluttering in the night wind.

"It smells awful..."

Shen Suxin followed behind, and her face turned pale as soon as she stepped onto the bluestone path of the Jun family.

The air smelled more than just sulfur and blood.

More than anything, it was a putrid stench mixed with countless biological pheromones.

She could even hear faint, dense gnawing sounds coming from deep underground beneath her feet.

The insects were howling, they were starving.

"Security is very tight."

Xiao Ruoye's focus was different; she put on the face of an ordinary middle-aged woman, but her eyes were sharp as knives as she quickly scanned her surroundings.

On the surface, there were guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, all of whom were internal strength martial artists.

In the shadows, on the top of the artificial hill, at the eaves of the pavilion, there were at least five sniping positions, the light of the infrared scope flashing by.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen picked up the mahogany medicine box in his hand and walked towards the independent courtyard with the plaque "Chunyaxuan" hanging on it.

The courtyard gate was vermilion, with two white lanterns hanging above it, swaying in the night breeze.

"stop!"

Two shadow guards dressed in black tight-fitting clothes reached out and blocked their way.

The leader was tall and imposing, with hawk-like eyes and prominent temples; he was a master of internal energy transformation.

"The medical team?" The Shadow Guard commander's gaze swept back and forth between the three men, finally landing on Jiang Chen's face. "Token."

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but took out the jade bottle that Song Yuzhi had given him from the pocket of his white coat and tossed it over.

The Shadow Guard Commander reached out and took it, glanced at it in his palm, and then handed it to the person next to him, who scanned it with a device.

"drop."

The instrument lights up green.

"Go in." The shadow guard commander stepped aside. "The patriarch has ordered that you are only allowed to look, not to ask questions. If you cannot cure him, none of you will be leaving."

Xiao Ruoye's fingers twitched, reaching for the dagger inside her boot.

Jiang Chen pressed down on her shoulder and shook his head at her.

The three of them stepped across the threshold.

Step into the courtyard.

The world has changed.

The courtyard is still the same courtyard, with artificial hills, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants.

But the gurgling sound of the flowing water, when heard, carried the deep roar of a dragon.

The outline of the artificial rockery, illuminated by the swaying lantern light, resembles a crouching giant beast.

Shen Suxin's eyes instantly became confused.

She felt as if she had returned to that small mountain village shrouded in plague.

The well water was filled with bloated corpses. The villagers knelt on the ground, looking at her with venomous eyes and cursing her as a poisonous woman who brought disaster.

"No...it wasn't me..."

Shen Suxin held her head, her body trembling.

On the other side, Xiao Ruoye's pupils also began to dilate.

She found herself standing in the ruins of Tianxiang Tower again. Xiao Wanshan pointed at her nose and ordered her to kneel down and kowtow to the Han family's idiot to admit her mistake.

That feeling of powerlessness and humiliation at being abandoned by his family surged back into his heart.

"roll!"

Xiao Ruoye let out a low roar, and the Geng metal energy in her body went out of control, her fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

Only Jiang Chen.

He stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at the two women trapped in their inner demons, his expression unchanged.

This little trick is not even as good as his third master's beginner illusion array.

"roar--"

An angry roar exploded deep within his mind.

That's not Jiang Chen's voice.

It is the slumbering remnant soul of the true dragon.

It smelled the scent of its own kind, but the scent was faint, painful, and filled with the shame of imprisonment and plunder.

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold.

The scene before my eyes changed once again.

He returned to that rainy night five years ago.

Jiang Zhongjing and Li Youfang's hypocritical faces, and the smug smile of their elder brother Jiang Cheng.

Cold handcuffs locked his wrists, and he was held down by two policemen and shoved into the prison van that would devour everything.

"Jiang Chen, this is your fate."

"For the sake of the Jiang family, just accept it."

In the illusion, Jiang Zhongjing looked down at him from above.

"this one?"

Jiang Chen spoke.

He didn't even look at those fake faces, but instead raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thick fog and landing on a window on the third floor of the main building in the courtyard.

He smiled.

It was the kind of laugh a cat gives when it catches a mouse.

He closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a ring of golden patterns appeared on the bluestone pavement underfoot.

The true energy of the "Formless Technique" was unleashed without any reservation.

There was no earth-shattering noise.

A golden ripple spread silently outwards from him.

Wherever it passed, artificial hills, flowing water, flowers and plants were violently distorted and then shattered, as if stones had been thrown into the water.

"puff!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out from the attic on the third floor.

An old man wearing a Bagua robe collapsed to the ground, covering his eyes, with red and white liquid flowing from between his fingers.

His eyes, which he used to set up formations, exploded.

yard.

The fog has lifted.

Shen Suxin and Xiao Ruoye both shivered and came to their senses.

The two men were deathly pale, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat, and their backs were soaked with sweat.

"Just...just now..."

Xiao Ruoye was panting heavily as she looked at the courtyard that had returned to normal, her heart pounding.

"Illusion Array".

Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, his tone as calm as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

He didn't even glance at the two terrified women, and walked straight into the depths of the courtyard.

The pace was slow, yet each step felt like it was treading on someone's heartbeat.

Xiao Ruoye and Shen Suxin exchanged a glance, both seeing lingering fear in each other's eyes.

They quickly followed.

Walk through the corridor filled with withered flowers and plants, and around the dried-up pond.

An intense, almost overwhelming, malevolent aura emanated from ahead.

At the end of the courtyard was a dry well bound tightly with iron chains.

The wellhead was covered with a huge blue stone slab, which was engraved with vermilion runes.

The runes seemed to be alive, slowly writhing and suppressing some terrifying being in the well.

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.

He could sense the aura of the half of the dragon-shaped jade pendant that had been stolen from him at the bottom of this well.

There is also a fourth special constitution, the Spirit Gu Body.

He could even smell the sweet yet deadly scent emanating from the girl's blood.

"This is it."

Jiang Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and was just about to lift the stone slab.

"jingle--"

A clear, ringing bell rang out from the depths of the dry well.

The voice was very faint, like a person trapped in a desperate situation, using the last bit of strength to cry for help.

But there was no will to live in that ringing of the bell.

Only endless, deep-seated hatred.

The hatred wasn't directed at the runes and chains at the wellhead.

It's aimed at Jiang Chen.

Because of the pure dragon aura emanating from him.
