Chapter 1329: Blackening
The Bei family ruins lay in shattered wreckage, with inextinguishable black flames burning in the massive pit, crackling from time to time!
The scene was dead silent, only Mila's loud crying echoed endlessly!
Xia Yao's face was pale, clutching her heart as she took two steps back in disbelief.
"How... how could he not be saved?"
Mila sobbed, crying nonstop.
˚‧º·(˚꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "Wuwu~ Jiangnan gege's brain was severely poisoned by the deadly toxin. He's brain dead. Even with regression, I can't save him!"
"It's Mila's fault! I couldn't bring Jiangnan gege back, wuwuwu~"
Jiangnan's corpse was amused. As expected of my little Mila, her acting was absolutely amazing, okay?
Even I felt heartbroken watching it myself?
It was just a bit sorry to Wu Liang, Zhong Yingxue, and the others, because some things couldn't be faked.
True emotions at the boundary between life and death couldn't be acted out.
To deceive the enemy, you first had to deceive your own side. He could only explain to Zhong Yingxue and the others later.
Zhong Yingxue stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Jiangnan's corpse.
Everything felt like a dream. Her chest felt like it was about to crack open. Her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Her nails dug into her palms, and blood continuously flowed through her fingers.
Even Mila had pronounced Xiao Nan's death...
Xia Yao's eyes widened, tears blurring her world.
"Impossible, how could it be? Xiao Nan was so powerful, had so many tricks. A bunch of Dao Heaven rank chased him, meteorites fell from the sky, and he didn't die!"
"How could he die at the hands of a mere Star Glory rank?"
Wu Liang felt like the rage in his chest was about to explode.
"It's the Paralysis Ring! Xiangzhi stole Nan Ge's Paralysis Ring and sneak-attacked him, paralyzing him! Aaah!"
"I told him to kill her, to eliminate the root cause, but Nan Ge wouldn't do it! If time could flow backward, I'd fucking kill you first!"
As he spoke, he immediately activated Berserk and charged murderously at Xiangzhi.
Rage had completely consumed Wu Liang's rationality.
Xiangzhi quickly turned into poison mist, flew high into the sky, and dodged Wu Liang's attack.
A smug smile still lingered on her face.
(˵ಡ৺ಡ˵) "Heh~ You said you'd let me witness the destruction of the Celestial Group? Sorry, it looks like he's the one who died!"
With that, she directly raised her golden middle finger at Jiangnan's corpse.
(｡°᷄ꇴ°᷅)凸
The Shadow Lord on her face was ecstatic, looking at Xiangzhi with full admiration and laughing three times.
(#͡ಠᗜ͡ಠ) "Haha! Good! Very good! Xiangzhi, you've got something! You're the MVP of this match!"
"Lord Baldr will personally reward you. When we return, you'll get a promotion and a raise. You're truly a rare talent!"
He, Er Ci, had exhausted his efforts but couldn't take down Jiangnan. He never expected Xiangzhi to succeed in a sneak attack!
And using Jiangnan's own treasure? This was called reaping what you sow, right?
Jiangnan probably never imagined he would die at the hands of a harmless little captive.
This was fate!
Xiangzhi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Shadow, for your guidance!"
Just then, Zhong Yingxue's expression turned completely dark.
Her long black hair floated upward, and an astonishing spirit pressure radiated from her body.
Inextinguishable black flames blazed around her.
Her Flame Spirit form was no longer crimson red flames but turned pure black.
She transformed into a burning black humanoid flame, giving off no heat,
yet it seemed capable of burning everything to ashes, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes.
A terrifying killing intent burst forth from Zhong Yingxue.
"Xiao Nan's life! I'll make you pay!"
"Boom!"
In that moment, Zhong Yingxue's inextinguishable black flames surged wildly. She shot into the sky, charging straight at Xiangzhi.
Xiangzhi generated a large amount of purple poison mist, wrapping around Zhong Yingxue.
"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"
But Zhong Yingxue neither dodged nor avoided. The moment the boundless purple poison mist touched her black flames, it was burned through.
Like clinging bone gangrene, it spread in all directions.
"Nine-Headed Black Phoenix!"
A pure black nine-headed phoenix bird burst through the poison mist, spreading its wings. Endless black flames turned into a sea of fire, pressing down toward Xiangzhi.
"Sea-Burning • Black Flame Burns Heaven!"
Xiangzhi quickly dispersed into poison mist to dodge, but the moment she was touched by the black flames, they spread throughout her body.
No matter how she tried to extinguish them, they wouldn't go out, burning her with piercing pain.
"Damn it! What kind of cursed fire is this? Lord Shadow, save me!"
Nate sneered and controlled hundreds of shadow spikes, stabbing straight at Zhong Yingxue.
The nine-headed black phoenix was riddled with holes, but even the shadow spikes caught fire with inextinguishable black flames.
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue ignored Nate's attack entirely, charging straight at Xiangzhi.
Only one thought remained in her mind.
Kill her!
Zhong Yingxue had always been rational, reason overriding emotion.
But the moment she saw Jiangnan's corpse, her rationality completely collapsed.
She didn't care about anything else, only wanted to kill.
Xia Yao's eyes also turned blood-red. Snow-white bone claws pierced out from her knuckles, dripping with blood.
"Boom!"
The ground cracked under her feet. Xia Yao went all out, surrounded by polar day cloud vortices.
With a violent charge, she instantly reached Sophie, pressed her hand directly onto Sophie's face, and slammed it hard onto the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently, forming a huge crater. Sophie's eyes nearly split open.
But under the polar day cloud vortex, all her spirit techniques were unusable.
She could only raise her hand and pound Xia Yao's stomach.
However, Xia Yao didn't care. She directly straddled Sophie, her hand gripping her neck tightly,
as if she wanted to strangle her to death.
Her other hand clenched into a fist and slammed hard into Sophie's face, her big eyes full of hatred.
"It's you! All of you! Why did you take him away from me?"
"Die! Die! Die! I'll kill you!"
Wolf claw fists rained down on Sophie's face one after another, blood splattering all over Xia Yao's face.
But she couldn't calm down, hitting harder and harder.
Sophie struggled desperately, but Xia Yao ignored her attacks entirely.
"Lord Shadow! Save—"
"Bam!"
Xia Yao's white fur was stained red by the flying blood.
"No one can save you today!"
Mila swallowed her saliva while crying.
Oh no, oh no, Sister Xue and Sister Yao Yao have gone crazy. They've completely blackened.
This... this wasn't in Jiangnan gege's script!
The situation was getting a bit out of control.
Lan quietly stood by Jiangnan, her small hand holding his big one.
Her big eyes stared fixedly at every enemy in the field, full of hatred.
To Lan, this world was cold and dark.
But Jiangnan had given her the only warmth in this cold world.
This was what Lan treasured most.
But she never expected this warmth to be so brief.
Now that this candle had gone out, Lan bit her teeth tightly. She wanted to imprint every enemy in her memory.
Though she had no power now, in the future, she would find them one by one and kill them.
Qiu Bei was also stunned. Jiangnan was dead?
Dead at her house? A chill ran down her spine. This is bad!
She couldn't be held responsible for this, right?
Why did you have to die here of all places? Of all places, you chose my home?
Hey hey hey! Get up and die somewhere else, okay?
[From Qiu Bei's Resentment Value +1000!]
Meanwhile, Luo Jiaoyang and Chen Daoyi, who were facing off against Pei Lun, were also stunned.
Jiangnan was killed by a captive's sneak attack?
Their hearts sank to the bottom. Luo Jiaoyang could already imagine how desperate his granddaughter would be when she received this news.
Luo Jiaoyang's eyes turned bloodshot. "Old Chen! Hold me back, I'm afraid I might harm the innocent."
Chen Daoyi's eyes were cold.
"Go ahead! I've got your back!"
Luo Jiaoyang took out a bottle of Nuclear Milk from his first aid kit and drank it in one gulp.
A dazzling red glow instantly lit up on his body, with a three-minute countdown appearing.
"Muscle Activation! Full Body Enhancement! Iron Body!"
One body enhancement skill after another stacked crazily.
At this moment, Pei Lun saw Jiangnan dead and roared to the sky.
"Big Brother! Mission accomplished! Time to retreat! If we don't leave now, we won't make it!"
With that, he tried to disengage from the battle.
Just then, green vines suddenly entangled under his feet.
Luo Jiaoyang's expression twisted. "Leave? You're not going anywhere!"
With a violent charge, he arrived in front of Pei Lun. His big hand was like a tiger's claw,
firmly locking around Pei Lun's waist.
"Spirit Muscle Jade Bone • Pierce!"
Hundreds of bone spikes pierced out from under Luo Jiaoyang's skin.
The two stuck tightly together. The force of the growing bone spikes penetrated the shadow armor and stabbed straight into Pei Lun's body.
Accompanied by Pei Lun's screams, hundreds of bone spikes skewered him, blood gushing like a fountain.
This scene looked quite horrifying.
In pain, Pei Lun continuously hammered Luo Jiaoyang's body with his iron fists.
He even rammed his head repeatedly, but Luo Jiaoyang wouldn't let go, his eyes full of fury.
"I'll collect some interest today! Old Chen!"
Chen Daoyi pressed his hands to the ground.
"Ironwood Grove • Tree Kingdom Descends!"
Thick ironwood trees grew rapidly, separating the battlefield and enclosing Luo Jiaoyang and Pei Lun in a circle like a fence.
Pei Lun's eyes were full of terror. Seeing the countdown in Luo Jiaoyang's eyes, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
"Damn it! Let go! Let me go, dammit!"
Luo Jiaoyang grinned viciously. "Nuclear Explosion!"
"Boom!"
Boundless crimson light instantly bloomed, crushing everything around.
Pei Lun, who was pressed against Luo Jiaoyang, bore the brunt of the nuclear explosion's impact.
Remember, Luo Jiaoyang was already a power-type Dao Heaven rank with exceptional physical fitness, and he cultivated Spirit Muscle Jade Bone.
His body was extremely tough.
Combined with Power Up 2.0 and Large Green Stick's enhancement, the nuclear explosion's power was pushed to its peak.
The night sky was illuminated by crimson light. The shockwave struck Chen Daoyi's ironwood fence,
breaking the ironwood. Chen Daoyi continuously generated new ironwood, barely managing to withstand the explosion's shockwave.
Otherwise, not only would the Bei family be obliterated, even Fog City would be affected.
