A jolt went through Chen Xiao’s heart!

"Jiang Baifeng?!"

"It seems you still recognize me," Jiang Baifeng spoke, his voice utterly vicious. "You and this bitch cuckolded me, caused the deaths of my two sons, and forced me into hiding like a stray dog!"

"I, Jiang Baifeng, will drag you both down with me, even if it kills me!"

"Chen Xiao, don’t come!" Zhu Baixi yelled from the other side. "This guy has gone mad..."

"Shut up!" The furious shout was followed by the distinct sound of a slap, then the muffled thuds of punches and kicks, and Zhu Baixi’s pained screams.

Chen Xiao’s heart plummeted. "Stop!" he roared. "Jiang Baifeng, I’m the one who killed them! I’m the reason you’ve ended up like this! It has nothing to do with her! What kind of man takes his anger out on a woman?"

"Hahahaha! How touching! What a lovely pair of cheating dogs! I’ll be waiting for you in the northern outskirts of the city! Remember, you only have thirty minutes!"

With that, he hung up the phone. Chen Xiao’s grip on his phone tightened fiercely as he sprinted outside.

***

Atop a crumbling, unfinished building in the northern outskirts of the city, Zhu Baixi was bound tightly. Her eyes were filled with fear and resentment, and her body was covered in wounds—a truly pitiful sight.

Jiang Baifeng’s eyes were bloodshot and ferocious. He grabbed a fistful of Zhu Baixi’s hair. "Bitch! Why? Why did you betray me? Wasn’t I good enough to you?!

"You were nothing but a low-life! I’m the one who gave you a life of luxury and splendor! Without me, you are nothing!

"And in return, you cuckold me and get my two sons killed?!

"If I hadn’t already suspected something was wrong and had people secretly follow you, I would have been completely fooled by your affair, you treacherous wench!"

Having lost his sons and been cuckolded by his own woman, Jiang Baifeng was on the verge of a complete breakdown, murderous intent churning within him.

Zhu Baixi sneered, "Jiang Baifeng, you took me by force, then imprisoned and tortured me for months, using my family’s lives to make me submit to you! In all these years, there hasn’t been a single moment I haven’t dreamed of killing you!

"Did you really think a few trinkets and favors would make me forget my hatred?

"In your dreams!"

"What have I, Jiang Baifeng, ever done to wrong you?" Jiang Baifeng’s eyes were completely bloodshot. "You have what most women can only dream of!"

"You’re a damn eunuch, incapable of performing as a man! I can’t even experience a woman’s most basic pleasure. What is there for me to be satisfied with?

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you," she continued with a cold sneer, "your impotence? That was my doing. I find you disgusting. Your slightest touch—even a single one of your hairs—makes me want to vomit.

"But Chen Xiao is different. He’s a hundred, a ten thousand times better than you! Every time we’re together, I reach a peak of ecstasy! A hundred times better than a dead eunuch like you!"

Every word from Zhu Baixi grated on Jiang Baifeng’s nerves.

He took a deep breath. "Bitch! Soon, you’re going to watch your lover die a miserable death right before your very eyes!"

Just last night, at the very moment Watanabe Ichiba and Jiang Tianquan met their end, Jiang Baifeng had received word: the Jiang Family was to be purged. But at that crucial time, Xing Zhanlong had suddenly sent someone to deliver an elixir. After consuming it, he reached the Grandmaster Peak, which was the only reason he narrowly escaped the Dragon Soul’s encirclement. Xing Zhanlong provided the elixir with a promise to help him safely leave the Divine Land and flee abroad. The only condition was that he kill Chen Xiao.

Zhu Baixi’s eyes filled with worry. She feared Chen Xiao would rush over recklessly and throw his life away. After all, Jiang Baifeng’s current strength was formidable; Chen Xiao might not be his match.

Time ticked by. Suddenly, a noise came from below.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Someone was rapidly ascending the stairs.

At the same time, Jiang Baifeng, who had been on high alert, snapped his eyes open. A ferocious look twisted his face as he picked up the broadsword beside him and silently hid in a blind spot by the stairwell. The moment Chen Xiao’s head appeared, he would cut him down.

"Chen Xiao, be careful! He’s ambushing you by the stairwell!" Zhu Baixi screamed.

"Bitch!" Jiang Baifeng roared in fury.

Suddenly, a gust of wind erupted from the stairwell! Chen Xiao shot out from the entrance, immediately taking the offensive.

Startled, Jiang Baifeng immediately used the flat of his blade to block, but the palm strike still sent him stumbling back several steps, his blood roiling in his chest.

Then, Chen Xiao’s tall, slender figure appeared before them. His gaze swept to the side, and he only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Zhu Baixi was unharmed.

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hate.

"Die."

Jiang Baifeng wasted no more words. His Qi Force exploded as he swung the broadsword and charged at Chen Xiao! He wielded the massive blade with the force of a whirlwind. Coupled with his Grandmaster Peak cultivation, he was terrifyingly powerful.

Chen Xiao, however, was unarmed and couldn’t possibly block the sharp blade head-on.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

He infused his palms with Inner Strength, slapping them against Jiang Baifeng’s blade!

In an instant, the two were locked in fierce combat. Jiang Baifeng grew more frenzied with every strike, unleashing waves of gleaming light from his blade that threatened to engulf Chen Xiao completely.

Zhu Baixi’s heart was in her throat.

Just then, Chen Xiao let out a mighty roar, found an opening, and smashed his fist into his opponent’s arm!

CRACK!

Jiang Baifeng’s arm bone snapped, and the broadsword flew from his grasp.
