"Cough cough cough cough..."

Following a fit of coughing, Ya Si slowly came to.

"Puh—" Right away, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

After that, he realized that his martial strength had been completely depleted, and his Dantian was also destroyed.

"No, no, this can't be..." Ya Si cried out in shock.

"Nothing is impossible, just take a look for yourself,"

a sneering voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

Ya Si's complexion darkened, and he quickly raised his head to survey his surroundings.

All of a sudden, he found that the only people around him were Jiang Chen and others, while his esteemed ancestor was nowhere to be seen.

It was Mu Lisi who had just spoken.

Instantly, his face turned ashen!

He knew that he had been defeated, and his ancestor had been defeated as well.

But he really didn't understand why, now that his ancestor had broken through to the rank of Venerable, he would still fail?

It was inconceivable!

Then, his gaze shifted back to Jiang Chen, who had been battling against his ancestor just before.

Could it be that Jiang Chen actually possessed the strength to slay a Venerable?

Heh, to think that he had underestimated Jiang Chen before, thinking Jiang Chen was a fool. But in the end, it turned out that he was the fool.

"Ya Si, disclose the plans of the Dark Church and the Gene Organization, as well as where the remaining remnants of the Dark Church are hiding. If you do, I can promise you a quick death," Mu Lisi said coldly, looking at Ya Si and speaking sharply.

Ya Si, wearing an expressionless face, glanced at Mu Lisi and then turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, suddenly sneering: "Ha ha! Jiang Chen, are you happy that you won against us? Do you want me to tell you a piece of news, huh?"

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, and a sudden bad feeling rose in his heart. He asked in a deep voice, "What news?"

"Ha ha! Your woman, Ye Jingyi, isn't she personally checking the trade route I provided to you? See if you can still contact her, huh? Ha ha! With a Venerable Realm expert taking action, she will surely fall into our hands! Ha ha..." Ya Si exclaimed, laughing uproariously.

"What?" Jiang Chen's face changed dramatically, and he quickly reached for his pocket.

But when he did, he found nothing; after two battles, his outfit was in tatters, and his smartphone was long gone!

"Smartphone, Dark Thunder, go find me a smartphone!" Jiang Chen shouted frantically.

Yan Hu and the others also bore expressions of shock and fear on their faces—they knew all too well how important Ye Jingyi was to Jiang Chen.

If anything happened to Ye Jingyi, Jiang Chen would go mad!

And what a mad Jiang Chen would do, no one knew!

"Yes!" Dark Thunder realized the gravity of the situation. His own phone had been damaged during the fight, so he swiftly turned his eyes, channeling his Inner Qi and bellowing heavenwards, "Brothers, and you, men of the Holy Court, whoever has a functioning phone, bring it here!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The shout spread throughout the entire estate, and members of An Bing and the Dark Church's Paladin Knights who were waiting outside hurried into the estate.

"My phone still works!" A member of the elite squad pulled out a smartphone with a shattered screen, unlocked it, and handed it over.

Jiang Chen snatched the phone and quickly dialed Ye Jingyi's number, anxiety written all over his face.

...

In the Flame Dragon Kingdom, Xi Bo!

While Jiang Chen and the others were in the midst of a fierce battle, Ye Jingyi was in Xi Bo, overseeing the inspection of the trade routes at the Yichen Company's branch office.

"Jing Yi, it's getting dark. Let's take a break,"

suggested Xing Fei, looking at Ye Jingyi with concern as she sat behind the desk in the president's office of the branch office, while Mengte De'er stood at the door, keeping vigilant watch.

"No way, this trade channel was hard-won by Jiang Chen. I must quickly make it profitable for the company so that it's worth Jiang Chen's efforts!" Ye Jingyi shook her head, her eyes never leaving the computer screen.

Xing Fei paused, a mix of admiration and envy filling her heart—admiration for the mutual care between Ye Jingyi and Jiang Chen, and envy for the deep affection they shared.

Glancing at the office door, Xing Fei lightly smirked and muttered softly, "What a blockhead. Why can't he have the same emotional intelligence as Big Brother?"

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from outside the office; Xing Fei's face changed dramatically, and she quickly pulled Ye Jingyi behind her, watching the window with a vigilant face!

Bang!

The door to the office was violently kicked in. Mengte De'er, his face full of evil qi, charged in. Seeing that Ye Jingyi and her companion were unharmed, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, then turned his head towards the window, cold light flashing in his eyes.

Outside the window, a powerful presence was bearing down directly on the president's office window!

Crack!

The crisp sound of breaking glass resonated as the window shattered. An elder, his body emanating a pale red, bloodthirsty aura, burst in and rapidly charged toward Ye Jingyi.

"Seeking death!" Mengte De'er shouted explosively, throwing a fierce punch at the figure.

"Be careful!" Sensing the surging aura emanating from the elder, Xing Fei's face paled, her figure flashing as she rushed toward Mengte De'er.

Bang!

A dull thud sounded as the elder and Mengte De'er exchanged blows, with Mengte De'er being sent flying backwards.

Rustle!

The intense qi force sent flying everything in the office, papers on the desks fluttering up into the sky.

Uh!

Thump!

Ye Jingyi grunted as her body recoiled, slamming hard against the wall behind her; fresh blood immediately spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Bang!

A rumbling noise erupted, Xing Fei timely catching Mengte De'er but was pushed back swiftly by the tremendous force, both crashing into the wall beside Ye Jingyi.

Crack!

The wall developed cracks, spreading like a spider web, reaching across the entire wall and up to the ceiling.

Rustle!

Dust cascading down from the ceiling in an instant!

"He's a power in the late stage of the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm; we're no match for him. De'er, take Jingyi and go now. I'll hold him off!" Xing Fei urgently instructed, swiftly rushing toward the elder.

Without a second word, Mengte De'er helped Ye Jingyi up and turned around, delivering a punch to the wall.

Right next to the president's office door stood the elder. Although Xing Fei stepped forward to block, Mengte De'er knew she wouldn't hold, and Ye Jingyi's strength was too low to withstand even the aftermath of their encounter. In a moment of quick thinking, Mengte De'er made the right decision!

Boom!

A roaring sound followed as Mengte De'er punched a hole through the wall.

"Miss Ye, I apologize!" In the rush, Mengte De'er said to Ye Jingyi and, grabbing her waist, leaped straight out through the gaping hole in the wall.

"Stay!"

An explosive shout rang out as the elder quickly pursued Mengte De'er and Ye Jingyi.

"You stay behind!" Xing Fei scolded sharply, her hands producing two daggers glinting with a cold light, which she fiercely stabbed towards the elder.

Bang!

A muffled sound followed as the elder dodged Xing Fei's incoming daggers, landing a palm strike on her chest.

Spurt!

Xing Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, directing it towards the elder's eyes. Caught off guard, the elder was splattered in the face with the blood, the searing pain in his eyes halting his pursuit. He raised his hands to cover his eyes.

Whoosh!

Xing Fei glanced at the elder, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and turned to leap out through the hole Mengte De'er had made.
