# Chapter 2157: Out of the Cage

Black Steel naturally knew that being called away by Jiu Lan was never good news!
Because every time Jiangnan came back, he was covered in blood, limping, soaking in the Styx bathroom, cursing for half the night!

You think you can show off in front of me? Hmph!
Just enjoy yourself tonight; after this night passes, your ability to handle "happy occasions" might end up being used for your own funeral!

Meanwhile, in the Tower of Judgment cell!
Tower was currently squatting in the corner, not for any other reason, but because it was warm there!

As for Jiang Suo, he was preparing to act. The bug right hand could still sense the position of the tracking bug!
It had stopped moving long ago; clearly, the treasure chest had been successfully transported to the warehouse!

During this time, the tracking bug had undergone multiple long-distance jumps, obviously the jailers had used the Styx Star Path!
The location of the treasure vault was very far from the Styx Death Star, even dozens of light-years away!

Relying on human strength alone, there was no way to get there. The only option was to borrow the power of the Netherworld Clan!
The jailer squad transporting the treasure chest took about 19 minutes to get there!

Thus, the round trip would take about 40 minutes!
Jiangnan had already figured it out in his mind. Now it was time to act!

As for Jiu Lan calling him for extra training, Jiangnan had completely forgotten about it...

(♫¯ิꇴ¯ิ)۶ "Go! Little hand~ It's time to show everyone what you've got!"

As he spoke, he pulled the bug right hand off his body and threw it to the ground, as if releasing a Pokémon!

The bug right hand shot Jiangnan a displeased look, its index and middle fingers standing upright, holding a cattle-horse pen!

"Don't use that 'releasing a pet' tone with me, alright? You believe I'll strangle you? Wait for me~"

With that, it ran to the wall, drew a small hole with the cattle-horse pen, and set off!

Such a dangerous release mission, Jiangnan naturally wouldn't do it himself. What if he got pinned to the ground and killed on the spot? That would be too big a loss!

After all, the look in Yakeli's eyes seemed completely uncommunicative!

Better let the bug right hand go!

...

In the male prison area, the cell of a heaven-defying criminal, the room was lit with red lights!

A cocoon made entirely of strong-phase alloy stood in the center of the room, surrounded by thick iron chains, tightly locking the cocoon!

The room was terrifyingly silent, as if even the sound of a heartbeat was absent!

Just then, a faint noise came!

Inside the observation window of the iron cocoon, the originally closed scarlet eyes suddenly snapped open, the gaze filled with brutality!

The noise came from behind him, but he was completely bound, unable to see what was behind him!

Damn it! Could it be that bastard Jiangnan again, coming to pour itching water?

How dare he! How dare he!

I will definitely kill him, rip out his tendons, strip his skin, tear his flesh, and break his bones!

The bug right hand crawled out through the small hole!

It didn't do anything else; with a light leap, it landed on top of the iron cocoon!

The scarlet eyes inside the cocoon followed the direction of the noise!

The bug right hand immediately switched the cattle-horse pen to horse-pen mode and drew from top to bottom on the back of the iron cocoon!

In an instant, the entire iron cocoon was pixelated, transforming from strong-phase alloy to a crystal mosaic!

Having done this, the bug right hand didn't stay; it turned and ran, erasing all traces!

Although it was just a hand, it still had to help Jiangnan break out of prison; it didn't want to end up here!

Yakeli was stunned. What's going on? The material of the cocoon changed?

Who did this? What kind of ability was this?

But at this moment, Yakeli couldn't care less. He couldn't remember how long he had been bound. The desire for freedom grew more and more restless, crazily sprouting, and could no longer be controlled!

"Bang!"

A dull sound came from inside the mosaic cocoon, and then it shattered entirely, collapsing into countless fragments scattered all over the ground!

Yakeli, who had been bound inside all along, finally revealed his form!

He was three meters tall, his body made of crimson crystals, but not quite crystals; they looked more like muscles!

It was hard to describe what it was. But now the color was extremely dull, with no luster at all!

He was as thin as a dried corpse, completely skin and bones. His eye sockets were sunken, his cheeks hollow!

His blood-red hair was like withered grass!

There were still a dozen mosaic spikes stuck in his body!

So the inside of the iron cocoon had spikes; the inner wall wasn't smooth!

His slender legs couldn't support his weight at all. The moment he lost the cocoon's constraint, he directly fell to his knees, so weak he couldn't even stand!

At least it solved Jiangnan's question of how to feed Yakeli!

The answer was that they didn't feed him at all. In all the years he had been locked in the iron cocoon, Yakeli had consumed no food, no energy...

The energy needed to sustain his life came entirely from himself!

That's why he had become so emaciated!

Yakeli lay on the ground, pulling out the spikes stuck in his body one by one!

Although weak, his eyes were brighter than ever before, the corners of his mouth wildly rising!

The red crystals on his body flowed like magnetic fluid, automatically repairing the blood holes in his body!

Yakeli didn't conform to the characteristics of any race in the Starry Sky Races; he was a pure anomaly!

He struggled to get up from the ground, moving his body unsteadily as he staggered toward the cell door!

His gaze was brutal and insane!

"Jiangnan! Wait for me to come and kill you! I want to kill everyone! Slaughter every life that appears before my eyes!"

"Wait for me! Wait for me! Don't run! Heh~"

...

Meanwhile, after countless mental struggles, Suo Yuba was still dragged by Jiu Lan into the Unconscious Room, and the door was locked!

Suo Yuba sat on the execution platform, his face pale!

=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) Go, go? The torture chamber?

Nan Shen boss and Vice Warden Jiu Lan play this kinky?

What to do, what to do?

At this rate, he would betray his big brother!

And Jiu Lan had already taken off her coat, tied up her hair!

Suo Yuba quickly turned his head away!

(๑⋟﹏⋞)

Don't look at inappropriate things! Don't look! Big brother, come quickly!

I really can't take your place in this!

Jiu Lan frowned: (๑•̌~•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "What's wrong? Why are you so listless today? Usually, you're the one with the most to say!"

"Not even warming up?"

Suo Yuba: ???

Huh? This needs a warm-up?

∑(°△°๑) "Warm-up? I... I don't need it, right? As long as the atmosphere is right, isn't it easy to just go with the flow?"

Jiu Lan squinted:

(¬~¬) "Oh? No warm-up? You think you can overpower me without warming up?"

"You're pretty confident!"

As she spoke, she walked up to Suo Yuba!

Suo Yuba felt like his breathing was about to stop!

What to do? If he continued, Nan Shen would kill him; if he didn't continue, he would fail the mission and Nan Shen would kill him anyway!

Either way, death! This prison boss isn't so easy to be!

(≖~≖ꐦ) "Ready?"

Jiu Lan twisted her neck, looking straight into Suo Yuba's eyes!

Suo Yuba's expression hardened, remembering Nan Shen's instructions: the mission is the highest priority!

The mission is paramount. When the time comes, he must step up and never back down!

"I'm ready!"

With that, Suo Yuba closed his eyes tightly, opened his arms, pursed his lips, making a goose-attacking-the-ground pose!

٩(O˘³˘)۶

Jiu Lan frowned. What kind of strange opening stance was this? Full of openings!

Does Jiangnan think so little of me now? His defense is this lax?

If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know your place!

Jiu Lan attacked instantly, stepping forward, twisting her waist, and throwing a punch!

A punch full of power, fast to the extreme, like a comet hitting a planet, slammed fiercely into Suo Yuba's stomach!

"Boom!"

Σ(ଵεଵ|||) "Pwah~"

This punch sent Suo Yuba flying on the spot, his eyes almost popping out!

His whole body was bent into a C-shape, like a cannonball, directly embedded into the wall!

Then he fell to his knees, clutching his stomach, convulsing uncontrollably!

○| ̄|_...

This punch even knocked out the dinner Suo Na had eaten three days ago. Forget dinner, even his internal organs were shattered!

Rolling his eyes, he couldn't say a word. Before the mission even started, Jiu Lan had already beaten half his life out of him with one punch!

[From Suo Na's Resentment +666!]

So this is the kind of "appointment" she meant? An appointment to fight? Not a date?

And I was...

Nan Shen boss! Help! I can't take a second punch!

You handle this one; I really can't take this!

At this moment, Suo Na regretted his earlier decision more than ever. He shouldn't have come to take the fall!

There was real danger of death!

Jiu Lan shook her smoking fist, frowning deeply!

(。・ˇ~ˇ・)ᕤ What the hell?

Today's Jiangnan felt weird to hit. Not as hard as usual!

One punch and he's down? Is Jiangnan this weak?

(ꐦ°᷄~°᷅) "Hey! Get up! You're done just as you started? Playing tricks again? If you don't get up, I'll really start hitting!"

Suo Na, clutching his stomach and vomiting blood wildly, shook his head like a rattle!

_(꒪ͦཀ꒪ͦ|||ゝ∠)_

Can't get up~

Jiu Lan was about to go over and give him a good beating!

Just then, with a loud "BOOM!", even Jiu Lan felt the vibration!

An alarm "WEE-WOO-WEE-WOO" sounded in the corridor, red warning lights flashing!

Jiu Lan was stunned, her expression changing drastically!

"Damn it! Level one alarm? Yakeli broke out of his cell? How did he manage that?"

Locked up for so many years, how could he still have the strength to destroy the iron cocoon and break through the cell?

Suo Yuba clutched his stomach, relieved. Finally, they made their move? Saved my life!

_(꒦ິ⌓꒦ີゝ∠)_

Otherwise, I really would have been beaten to death!

Wait... this Yakeli is also coming for me, right?

Jiu Lan had no time for that: "Follow me! Don't stray too far! Yakeli is different from Chong Feiyu! He's dangerous! A madman!"

"Hey! What are you dawdling for? Follow me!"

With that, she grabbed Suo Yuba and rushed out of the Unconscious Room!

On the other side!

At the entrance of the heaven-defying cell, the cell door was embedded in the wall like crumpled waste paper!

The emaciated Yakeli swayed as he stepped out of the cell!

A jailer heard the commotion and rushed over!

"You..."

Seeing that it was Yakeli escaping, he attacked instantly, using a step-combo heavy punch aimed at Yakeli!

But Yakeli's mouth curled into a smirk. He was as light as a willow catkin, charging toward the jailer like a bloody sword!

Faster than the jailer!

With a loud "BOOM!", the jailer's head was grabbed by Yakeli's large hand and smashed hard against the wall!

His head was smashed into the wall, blood streaming down!

The jailer tried to counterattack, but Yakeli's other hand had already stabbed out, his arm extending countless blood-red crystal spikes!

Easily breaking through his defense, stabbing into the jailer's body!

The jailer roared, pounding Yakeli's body with heavy punches, but the crystals on his body flowed like magnetic fluid, absorbing all the force!

Like the Lumu Clan, but not exactly!

Soon, the jailer was drained dry, turning into a desiccated corpse!

Meanwhile, Yakeli's body visibly grew stronger!

Restoring his muscular build, the blood-red crystals bulged like muscles, emitting a mesmerizing blood-red glow!

His mane-like blood-red hair fluttered without wind!

"Bang!"

Like a watermelon bursting, the jailer's head was crushed by Yakeli!

He casually tossed the dried corpse aside, licking his lips with his scarlet tongue!

"Thanks for the meal! Scum!"

A large number of jailers arrived at the scene, looking at the killed jailer with terror in their eyes!

Killed?

Yakeli twisted his neck, his whole body emitting crisp sounds like popping beans. His eyes were scarlet, his killing intent blooming!

"You want to die too? Don't delay me from killing people! Useless bunch!"
