He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Lu Chen ignored his wives' "eagerness to watch the drama unfold".

He just watched the heartbroken Zanglong quietly, wanting to see how this usually glib and unserious fat man would react.

At the same time, Lu Chen pushed his mental perception to its limit.

Like an invisible radar,

It meticulously scanned every inch of the surrounding white mist.

Be wary of possible sneak attacks from the shadows.

Based on his speculation, the most likely time for the opponent to make a move would be at the moment when he and Canglong were having their "final showdown"!

"Damn it! Give it back to me..."

"Ugly monster! Die..."

"I'm going to kill you all..."

Not far away, inside Liu Yanyan's damaged palace-like magical artifact,

Three disheveled women with messy hair and clothes were wrestling together.

They were tearing at each other's clothes and pulling each other's hair, uttering incoherent curses.

Their eyes were also covered by an abnormal black layer.

They were clearly also caught in an illusion, mistaking each other for enemies.

Springtime exposure revealed a scene that was utterly disgraceful.

"..."

Lu Chen's mental energy subconsciously swept over that area, and he was able to clearly "see" Wang Xiaoqiao's face after her mask was pulled off.

His fat face, as wide as a plate, was covered with scattered freckles...

His stomach churned, and he quickly withdrew his mental energy.

If I weren't "busy" right now,

Otherwise, I'd definitely have to "wash my eyes" properly.

This visual impact is even more unsettling than the slimy monster in the stomach of a sand sea whale.

Beyond the white mist.

"Boss, things look about right. Lu Chen has gone on a killing spree, and only that fat guy is left! Shouldn't we make our move?"

One of the men in black robes couldn't contain himself and whispered to the leader of the men in black robes for instructions.

The leader of the black-robed men glanced at Huo Ming beside him.

He worried that Huo Ming would jump out at this moment to steal the credit for killing Lu Chen.

Huo Ming sneered inwardly, fully aware of the ulterior motives of these men in black robes.

He said dismissively:

"Rest assured, if you manage to kill Lu Chen, I, Huo Ming, will report the truth to my superiors and will not compete with you for any credit!"

His real goal was to ensure Lu Chen's complete demise.

As for who killed him and whose credit it was, he didn't care at all.

In any case, he will receive a substantial reward after completing the task.

"Fire Demon, you better keep your word!"

The leader of the black-robed men gave a cold warning, then said in a deep voice,

"Wait a little longer! Wait until that fat guy is fighting desperately, and in the final moments of his battle with Lu Chen, then we'll strike swiftly to ensure absolute success!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the other men in black robes could only suppress their surging killing intent and continue to wait patiently.

Inside the mist.

"Ru Hua... I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

Zanglong held Ran Ruhua's body, muttering to himself, his voice choked with sobs.

There was regret, confusion, and even more so, endless reluctance and heartache.

He held her like that, imprinting her image deeply into his soul.

Lu Chen waited patiently, using his mental energy to keep a watchful eye on his surroundings while observing Canglong.

About a minute had passed.

Finally, Canglong gently laid Ran Ruhua's body flat on the deck, his movements as tender as if he were handling a fragile treasure.

He lowered his head and placed a long, heavy kiss on Ran Ruhua's forehead.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Hidden Dragon, let's see how you can still be hypocritical now."

Will you still dare to call Ru Hua a "tigress" in the future?

Hua Xiyu's "watching the drama unfold" mood was absolutely bursting with excitement. She could already imagine what would happen after everything was over.

The incredible expression on Canglong's face when she "threatened" him with the video was priceless.

After the farewell kiss, Canglong slowly stood up.

His chubby face was still wet with tears, but his eyes had completely changed.

His gaze was piercing, fixed on the "insect demon," and a strange energy fluctuation began to ripple around his body.

"demon……"

"Go to hell..."

"I, Canglong, hereby swear—"

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His hands moved swiftly, forming complex and profound hand seals that connected with the laws of heaven and earth!

With each hand seal he formed, his aura weakened further.

But some kind of mysterious connection was forcibly established!

"I would gladly pay the price of a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation! Even if it meant my soul being scattered and my eternal damnation, I would not hesitate!!"

"Please, Marshal Tianpeng—descend to the mortal realm! Slay the demons!!!"

As the last word fell, Canglong's entire body erupted with golden light!

next moment--

"Buzz—!!!"

A golden beam of light, reaching to the heavens and piercing the earth, ignored space and crashed down from the unknown outer heavens!

It precisely enveloped the Hidden Dragon!

Battlefield in outer space.

"Hmm? This golden light... is that the aura of the Zang family brat?"

As the God of War Xuanyuan Xingtian, who was engaged in a battle with an external enemy, seemed to sense something, raised his eyebrows, glanced at the sky, and murmured something under his breath.

Ancestral hall of the Tibetan family.

"Bang!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

On the shelf where the life spirit jade tablets of the younger generation are enshrined, the jade tablet belonging to Canglong...

It was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, then shattered completely, turning into dust!

Zang Feng, who was holding a wine glass and chewing on peanuts, suddenly trembled and spilled half of the wine.

"Damn! What's this kid up to? He scared the hell out of me!"

He was startled at first, but then calmed down and pursed his lips.

"With Lord Lu Chen here, what's there to be afraid of! He's probably up to some trick again..."

He had an almost blind faith in Lu Chen's ability to "resurrect".

"Haha! What kind of formidable enemy has this kid Canglong encountered?"

They were actually willing to pay such a heavy price—avoiding reincarnation—to summon the Marshal's true form?

The bald old man from the Tibetan family sensed the golden light from the offering and burst into laughter.

"This child, Canglong, has exceptional talent."

At such a young age, he has already mastered the "Summoning the Gods" technique to the point of communicating with beings at the "Marshal" level...

He's just too lazy and unwilling to put in the hard work.

The collector shook his head, his tone filled with regret.

"Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Perhaps, through this ordeal, he will gain some enlightenment, and in the future, our collection will truly depend on him to carry forward its legacy.

The second ancestor of the Zang family, Zang Qingshuang, took it all in stride, with a gentle smile on her face.

Beyond the illusionary array in the Yellow Springs Desert.

"Not good! This golden light... something's strange! It's attacking and destroying our 'Yellow Springs Judgment Illusion Array'!!"

The black-robed leader, who had been closely monitoring the formation, suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed in shock!

The golden light that reached the heavens contained a powerful divine force that could cleanse evil spirits.

Wherever it passed, the thick white fog quickly dissipated!

The foundation of the illusion array began to shake violently, and the array plate that was maintaining the array made a "crack" sound!

In the center of the golden light, Canglong's body slowly floated up. He closed his eyes, his face calm.

His body, starting from his feet, was bathed in this dazzling golden light.

Little by little, it transforms into pure specks of light, drifting upwards and coalescing...

Finally, all the points of light converged and formed a huge, majestic phantom that exuded boundless divine power!

The phantom was fat with big ears, bare chest and exposed breasts, and a belly as big as a drum. It held a gleaming nine-toothed rake and was dressed in a majestic divine general's armor.

Although his face was rugged, his eyes shone brightly with every blink, exuding a majestic aura!

"Haha! I, Old Pig, am here!!"

The phantom of Marshal Tianpeng let out a hearty laugh, his voice booming like a bell, causing the surrounding white mist to churn once more.

He looked around, his nine-toothed rake slung over his shoulder, and boomed:

"Where's the monster? Get out here, you old pig! Let my rake give you a good combing!!"
