Chapter 622: Qiangnan Suo Ren

At this moment, Gu Xiaowei, wearing a curtain, was pacing back and forth in the corridor. Damn it, that Jiang Panghong—it must be Jiangnan!
Did I bring him here?
Oh no, oh no, he can't do anything to the boss, can he?
Frantic with worry, she pressed her ear against the door!

Right now, Jiangnan had been petrified into a black stone statue by Yao Hong's Gifted Spiritual Art—only his eyes could move!
He was utterly shocked. What kind of ability and Gifted Spiritual Art was this?
One look from Yao Hong and he was petrified?
Jiang Panghong had flipped?
Yao Hong stood up and gently flicked Jiangnan's antenna.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't want to fight you either!"
"But I, Yao Hong, don't want to rely on anyone. I don't want to be forced into doing anything!"
"If you came after me because the Dandelion sold your goods, I can pay you back. Maybe I can't give it all at once, but I'll pay you back slowly!"
"I hope you'll let the Dandelion go!"
Jiangnan: (๐ಠロಠ๐)
Petrified Jiangnan still had that expression—couldn't move at all!
Yao Hong continued to herself, "You've already screwed the Dandelion over pretty badly, right? That should be satisfying enough!"
"So can we just call it even about me reselling your stuff?"
"As for the Blood Alliance issue... I'll handle it myself! If you agree, blink once, and I'll let you go!"
"If you don't agree, you'll just stay like this, and I'll hide you away!"
Jiangnan blinked frantically!
Yao Hong grew wary: "You can't go back on your word. I never wanted to hurt you!"
With that, she walked over to Jiangnan and was about to use her Spiritual Art!

Just then!
"Aha!"
With a fierce roar, under Yao Hong's horrified gaze, the black stone statue of Jiangnan shattered into countless pieces!
A chubby purple Teletubby burst out from inside the statue!
Blood Incineration · Emperor Engine + Eight Gates of Escape—fully open!
Right off the bat, he delivered a powerful headbutt, catching Yao Hong off guard as Jiangnan slammed her down onto the bed!
"Shut up, you bastard! Motherf*cker!"
"Jiang Panghong flipped! But I, Jiang Feizi, haven't flipped yet!"
Saying that, he yanked from his Alternate Dimension the purple poison dagger coated with lethal venom, which he had snatched from Qian Benying!
He stabbed straight at Yao Hong on the bed!

One stab missed!
Yao Hong's petrification ability was indeed freakish, but the problem was that he was wearing thick layers! The petrification had only infected the outermost Teletubby suit!
Jiangnan had pretended to be still, just waiting for this perfect ambush!
Wahaha!
But breaking the stone really hurt—like peeling off a layer of skin. It hurt so much that Jiangnan let out a yelp!
Yao Hong couldn't believe it. How was that possible?
Did Jiangnan break my Gifted Spiritual Art? He only petrified my costume?
He knew about my ability, so he came prepared?
What the hell was Jiang Feizi? How could a Gold-rank have that much strength?
At this moment, Yao Hong truly understood how troublesome Jiangnan was!
But there was no time to think!
Yao Hong tilted her head, and Jiangnan's poison dagger stabbed into the pillow!
Just as she was about to get up, Jiangnan had already pressed down on her, driving a knee viciously into her stomach!
"Clang!"
A loud sound rang out. Jiangnan's face went white from pain. He looked down—Yao Hong's stomach had turned into a black stone texture, incredibly hard! Her cheongsam had been ripped open, but her stomach was perfectly fine!
Not giving up, Jiangnan swung a sharp elbow strike, aiming right for her mask!
Yao Hong dodged again, but Jiangnan opened a Space Wormhole. The elbow that missed went through the portal!
It hit Yao Hong's mask square on!
"Crack!"
The Spider Lily Mask shattered, revealing Yao Hong's face!
Delicate red eyebrows, a straight, high nose bridge, and thin lips as if holding a gleaming pearl!
Even her eyelashes were red, and with her ruby-like eyes, she looked like a Spider Lily blooming on the banks of the Styx in endless darkness—breathtakingly beautiful!
Even Jiangnan was stunned for a moment when he saw her face!
He’d thought Yao Hong wore a mask because of some birth defect, but with a face like that, why bother wearing a mask at all?
No wonder that old pervert Wan Dongchen had his eyes on her!
For a flash, Yao Hong looked startled, then her eyes lit up: "An opening!"
"One Glance Eternity!"
Jiangnan: !!!
Not again!
Sure enough, women only slow down my blade-drawing speed!
He still had no idea how she petrified him! Did she need to look into his eyes? Or did she just need to see him?
In his limit state, Jiangnan stacked six layers of Spatial Barriers, then turned his head away to avoid looking at her—ready to teleport!
But the next moment, Jiangnan was petrified into a black stone statue again!
Flipped again? Six layers of barriers didn't block it?
Yao Hong's pretty face went pale: "Do you have to be this troublesome? I..."
"Aha!"
The stone statue exploded again, and a green Teletubby burst out from inside!
"He Jiang Feizi flipped! But I, Jiang Antenna, haven't flipped yet!"
With cold steel in hand, he slashed toward Yao Hong's neck!
Yao Hong was about to lose it. Was this never going to end?
How many disguises did you have?
Your true body isn't Jiangnan—it's a nesting doll, isn't it?
But Yao Hong's reaction was also no joke. She grabbed Jiangnan's wrist and drove her knee upward, about to hit his vitals!
Jiangnan: !!!
He quickly used his other hand to block her knee, but as he lost balance, Yao Hong seized the opportunity and flipped him over, straddling him!
She lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing two Desert Eagles strapped to her outer thigh!
Drawing them, she aimed at Jiangnan's crown and pulled the trigger!
(๐✡‸✡)つ/̵͇̿̿/’̿’̿̿̿̿̿̿(・᷅▾・᷄๐;)
"Bang!"
Flames burst out. Jiangnan quickly opened a Space Wormhole to redirect the attack!
The bullet flew out from Yao Hong's side, heading straight for her temple!
"Clang!"
The skin on her temple instantly turned black and stony, deflecting the bullet! Sparks flew, jerking Yao Hong's head to the side!
After missing, she fired wildly at Jiangnan's body, changing position after each shot!
But every time, Jiangnan used his Space System to redirect the attack, aiming it back at Yao Hong!
[Yao Hong's resentment +1000!]
Monster!
How did he keep up with the reaction speed of a Diamond Eight? A whole magazine, and not a single hit?

Just then, Jiangnan's eyes fell on the other gun strapped to Yao Hong's thigh!
He reached for it!
"No taking!"
"I'm taking it!"
Both of them grabbed for the gun at the same time!
But at that moment, Jiangnan's dagger slashed across Yao Hong's thigh!
Her petrification armor didn't react in time, and a bloody gash opened up!
The strap was cut, and Jiangnan snatched the Desert Eagle!
Yao Hong felt that one leg go numb—the wound was black and purple!
Poisoned?
Instantly, a large area of petrification spread around the wound on her leg to slow the toxin's advance!
Jiangnan had already pulled the trigger!
"One Glance Eternity!"
Jiangnan: !!!
Teleport!
"Thud!"
Half-petrified, Jiangnan fell onto the bed behind Yao Hong! Before he could move, the petrification spread over his entire body!
Jiangnan was going crazy!
The release speed of this petrification was even faster than his teleportation?
Flipped three times? If I hadn't been wearing three disguises, I'd really be lying in a ditch right now!
Since I can't break your petrification, don't blame me for pulling out the ultimate move!
Yao Hong spun around—Jiangnan was so annoyingly persistent it made her scalp tingle!
I don't believe you can still...
"Aha!"
"He Jiang Antenna flipped! But I, Jiangnan, never miss!"
The stone statue exploded again, and the last green Teletubby suit shattered!
Jiangnan charged straight at her like a tiger pouncing!
He roared: "Signature move! Qiangnan Suo Ren!"
He locked both hands tightly around Yao Hong's neck, and his legs clamped around her waist like a hydraulic vise!
Then he used all his strength—a tight lock!
This was even fiercer than the Golden Love Lock!
Jiangnan was pulling Yao Hong so tight she couldn't breathe: "One Glance Eternity!"
The red light flashed in Yao Hong's eyes again. This time, without any disguise to shed, Jiangnan was truly petrified!
But the expression on his face was incredibly smug!
(๐ᵒ̌ٹᵒ̌๐)
Yao Hong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Jiangnan had revealed his true body, wearing his original clothes—she was sure he couldn't pop out of the stone statue this time!
Otherwise, breaking that would mean breaking his actual body!
The Southern God who conquered Sector 53—I actually managed to subdue him?
Thinking about it, Yao Hong actually felt a strange sense of achievement!
Wait... no!
If Jiangnan's petrified and can't move, then how am I supposed to get him off me?
He's still locked onto me!
Break his arms and legs?
Yao Hong wouldn't dare even if she had a hundred guts! Did she want to lose the Dandelion?
How was she supposed to face people like this?
Go everywhere carrying a black stone statue?
As if no one would recognize it as Jiangnan?
Didn't she have any dignity?
Jiangnan locked onto me with that purpose in mind?
If I don't undo the petrification, he's going to stay hanging on me forever?
Isn't that just cheating?
[Yao Hong's resentment +1000!]
[From...]

Just then, Yao Hong felt her head spinning, her lips turning purple. Even petrification of the wound didn't delay it for long.
Hiss~ what kind of lethal poison was that?
"Antidote..."
Jiangnan must have it, but he was petrified by her!
To get the antidote, she'd have to undo the petrification on Jiangnan—which meant admitting defeat...
Yao Hong was furious!
"You're cheating! I won't undo it for you! Let's see who can hold out!"
"In-Spot Petrification!"
With that, she herself turned into a black stone statue, suppressing the poison!
Now they were locked in—Jiangnan in his signature Qiangnan Suo Ren frontal hold, Yao Hong standing still in petrification!
The room fell completely silent. Two stubborn as mules were now locked in a stalemate!
