Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

He was puzzled. When did Qinglong befriend such a master?

Why didn't you say so sooner? There's such an expert here!

If he had said so earlier, he would have waited until he was stronger before killing Qinglong...

But Xiao Bufan changed his mind.

Qinglong had already embezzled his money and even plotted to seize power; he deserved to die, and it was only right that he was killed.

At this moment, as Xiao Bufan watched Ji Chen's fist relentlessly approach and crash down, the shadow of death completely enveloped him.

An overwhelming sense of resentment welled up within him, and he roared out:

"No!!! I, Xiao Bufan, have endured so much for the past two years, and anyone can trample on me like this. To die here like this is truly unacceptable. I haven't taken my revenge yet! No!!!"

His extreme unwillingness to accept defeat and his will to survive completely unleashed his potential.

boom!!!

An aura far more violent than that of a peak-stage Transformation Realm expert exploded wildly from his body.

The powerful shockwave blasted Ji Chen, who was right next to him, away. Ji Chen crashed heavily to the ground, staring blankly ahead.

Xiao Bufan's aura surged dramatically, and he was about to break through to the Dan Jin realm on the spot!

Ji Chen couldn't hold back any longer and broke down on the spot.

"Damn it! Who's the protagonist here, you or me? Why should you get to have this kind of cheat-like breakthrough on the spot?!"

Xiao Bufan ignored Ji Chen, who had broken through his defenses, and instead focused all his energy on activating his inner strength, wanting to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through and enter the Dan Jin realm in one fell swoop, so as to turn the tide and defeat Ji Chen.

But it was at the most crucial moment of the breakthrough.

call out!

Suddenly, a stone flew in through the window, moving at an absurd speed and striking Xiao Bufan squarely in the chest.

Bang!

A muffled thud!

The rising momentum collapsed instantly, the surging energy around him dissipated with a roar, and the opportunity for breakthrough was abruptly and completely interrupted.

"puff!"

Xiao Bufan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and roared in fury:

"Who did it? Who on earth did it?!"

But outside the window, all was empty and silent; no one responded.

Ji Chen, who witnessed all of this, was stunned for a moment, then realized something and was overjoyed!

He realized that it must have been the mysterious senior who had secretly helped him escape from prison!

He immediately bowed deeply towards the window and said sincerely:

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior!"

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Bufan with a mocking expression, ready to finish him off completely.

Xiao Bufan's face was terribly gloomy, and his heart became extremely heavy.

He never expected that Ji Chen had such a hidden powerful backer.

He also had powerful backers, but the old Dragon King was far away overseas, and couldn't come to his aid in time.

The situation is now completely passive; if we continue fighting, we will surely perish.

In a flash, Xiao Bufan's mind raced, and he immediately suppressed his killing intent.

He forced a sorrowful expression onto his face and looked at Ji Chen, speaking as follows:

"Young man, you've misunderstood. I killed Qinglong out of sheer desperation."

Mentioning the Azure Dragon reminded Ji Chen once again of the days the two of them spent cultivating in the prison cell.

During that time, the two of them were intertwined, each other's presence felt...

But now the two are separated by death.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen instantly flew into a rage, his eyes turning bloodshot:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Since you had no other choice, why did you send poison to my elder brother in the first place?

It's clear that you were ruthless and showed no mercy.

They didn't seem to have any sense of being forced into it at all!

Seeing this, Xiao Bufan quickly seized the opportunity to speak, his tone sincere:

"It's true, I'm not lying to you."

During the time Qinglong was imprisoned, he secretly sent out a lot of information about you, and I remember it all.

Moreover, it wasn't me who was sent to kill Qinglong!

He's the previous Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace!

"Killing me like this will only let the real killer go free. Then your brother, my subordinate, will have died in vain!"

Without much thought, Xiao Bufan turned around and shifted the blame onto the old Dragon King.

Ji Chen froze, and the killing intent in his eyes wavered instantly.

"Really?"

Xiao Bufan nodded repeatedly:

"Even pearls aren't this real! If I'm lying, may my godfather die a horrible death, and may his son be blind!!!"

Ji Chen was beginning to believe Xiao Bufan.

The main issue is making an oath with one's own family members, and such a vicious one at that...

Seeing that Ji Chen was wavering, Xiao Bufan's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly increased the pressure, saying:

"Besides, Qinglong asked me to do some things back then, all for you!"

Ji Chen pressed on urgently:

"What is it? Tell me quickly!"

A cold glint of triumph flashed across Xiao Bufan's eyes, but his face remained sorrowful as he gestured with his chin toward him.

"Then come closer, get closer, you can't say that out loud."

Ji Chen pondered for a moment, then decided to step forward.

However, he did not let his guard down, secretly gathering strength in his feet and aiming at a certain part of Xiao Bufan's body.

Ji Chen slowly walked forward, and just as he approached, Xiao Bufan suddenly launched an attack, gathering his remaining strength to strike Ji Chen's chest with a palm.

At the same time, Ji Chen was prepared and suddenly kicked Xiao Bufan hard in the groin.

"Bang!"

"ah!!!"

Two cries of pain rang out almost simultaneously.

Xiao Bufan struck Ji Chen squarely in the chest with his palm, causing Ji Chen's blood to surge and him to stagger backward.

Ji Chen's kick hit the target squarely.

Xiao Bufan suddenly curled up, excruciating pain engulfing his entire body, and he trembled all over once again.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Both men clutched their wounds and collapsed to the ground, unable to continue their assault.

Just then, with a whoosh, a black pistol was thrown in through the window and landed with a thud on the floor between the two men.

Huh? Who threw that gun in!

The two men looked up at the same time, and their expressions changed when they saw that it was a pistol.

They didn't have time to question the origin of the pistol; almost instinctively, they lunged towards it.

However, due to the severe injuries to his lower body, Xiao Bufan was in excruciating pain with every movement, causing his body to stagnate for two and a half seconds!

Despite the pain in his chest, Ji Chen reached out first and grabbed the pistol into his palm.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Bufan hurriedly tried to persuade him:

"Wait! Don't you think this gun is suspicious? It's obviously been thrown at us to lure us into killing each other!"

Ji Chen gripped the cold gun barrel, a hint of doubt indeed passing through his mind, but with the weapon in his own hand, he felt confident.

At the same time, he once again thought of the senior who had secretly helped him.

Maybe this pistol was deliberately thrown to Ji Chen by the other party!

Thinking of this, he gave a cold laugh:

"Heh, you're just jealous and trying to sow discord between me and that senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chen raised his gun with both hands, aiming the muzzle steadily at Xiao Bufan, who was lying on the ground.

"Luckily I was on guard, otherwise I would have really been fooled by you."

This time, I won't believe a word you say. Go and die with my brother!

After Ji Chen finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

boom! ! !
