Boom!

A tremendous roar erupted, and in the hasty and disorganized resistance below, more than a dozen Sanzan Association elites were instantly shredded by the blade's glow, leaving a massive deep pit on the ground.

"Jiang Chen! You're courting death!" Sanben Jinnan's eyes were filled with rage as he bellowed.

Whoosh!

Just then, an abrupt change occurred. A bizarre figure appeared beside Sanben Jinnan, delivering a fierce palm strike to his chest and with a fluid motion, snatched a sachet from Sanben Jinnan's waist.

"Ah!"

Spurt!

Sanben Jinnan cried out in shock and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his body involuntarily flying backward.

Boom boom boom!

A series of roars followed, and Sanben Jinnan, having smashed through several large trees, crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Jinnan!"

"Team leader!"

Sanben Wulie's complexion changed drastically. His figure twisted, avoiding the dragon and tiger phantoms in the air, and he promptly dashed toward Sanben Jinnan.

Roar!

Growl!

The dragon and tiger phantoms changed direction, pouncing toward a group of Semi Venerable Realm individuals to the side.

Boom boom!

Two loud blasts sounded.

"Ah!"

"My leg!"

"No!"

"Bastard!"

A series of cries rang out from within the crowd. The dragon and tiger illusions exploded violently, claiming the lives of a dozen people.

"Retreat!"

Jiang Chen shouted loudly. His figure flashed to the side, and the Blood Saber in his hand relentlessly unleashed chillingly murderous crimson saber glows. All the Sanzan Association martial artists who blocked his path changed color, involuntarily clearing a way!

Yan Hu, Xuan Long, and Li Tianchong closely followed behind Jiang Chen, guarding his flanks as they quickly broke out from the encirclement of the Sanzan Association members.

"Bastard! Don't retreat, stop them!"

Sanben Wulie helped Sanben Jinnan up and turned his head to see this scene, immediately roaring out loud.

But by then, Jiang Chen and his companions had already burst out of the encirclement. It was too late to close in on them again!

"Bastards! Damn it!"

Sanben Jinnan, finally catching his breath, swept a glance around him and cursed furiously.

The surroundings were in disarray, with fallen trees and bodies shattered beyond recognition littering the ground!

Sanben Jinnan estimated roughly and his face turned an iron blue color. Merely through two attacks, the hundreds of elite members he had brought had dwindled to less than thirty, many among them wounded.

Having paid the price with the lives of more than sixty people, they had not even managed to lay a finger on Jiang Chen!

This sent Sanben Jinnan's expression to the darkest depths, and amidst his raging fury, he was completely unaware that the sachet he had on him had disappeared.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several figures rapidly shot forth, landing beside Sanben Jinnan.

"Jinnan, how are you?"

Qingyuan Caicaizi struggled free from Ono's support, rushed forward to help Sanben Jinnan up and asked with concern, her eyes flicking briefly to his waist, a spark of joy in her heart.

"Jinnan, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been knocked out by Jiang Chen to be used as bait, you wouldn't have fallen for his ambush. It's all on me!" Qingyuan Caicaizi cried in self-blame.

Sanben Jinnan furrowed his brow and glanced at Qingyuan Caicaizi before lifting his gaze toward Teng Tiangang and the two others.

"Miss Caicaizi thinks that it's because of her that we fell into the ambush!" Teng Tiangang timely transmitted his voice to Sanben Jinnan.

Sanben Jinnan's eyes shifted slightly with surprise as he glanced at Qingyuan Caicaizi again.

With a thought, Sanben Jinnan reached out and touched Qingyuan Caicaizi's hair, whispering, "Caicaizi, don't blame yourself. However, we've suffered heavy losses and cannot rashly pursue them any longer. Do you know where they may flee to?"

"They must be going back to Yanjing County. When Ying Zi was captured, I heard her say that the Qiong Gouyu is hidden in Yanjing County!" Qingyuan Caicaizi said urgently.

A fierce look flashed in Sanben Jinnan's eyes. "Good, we'll head to Yanjing County then. However, we can't pursue them just like this. We can't hog the credit for this alone!"

While speaking, Sanben Jinnan took out his phone and began to dial a number, admitting to himself that they simply couldn't handle Jiang Chen and his group.

If they continued the pursuit, they would probably be killed by Jiang Chen's group!

Seeing Sanben Jinnan make a call, Qingyuan Caicaizi's expression changed slightly, showing both excitement and deep concern.

Although Jiang Chen had told her that there was a great chance of surviving with the final plan, it was so perilous that Qingyuan Caicaizi couldn't help but worry.

...

In Dujing, across from the Sanzan Association headquarters.

In a ramen shop, three men, one elderly and two young, sat at a table eating ramen while casting sidelong glances at the Sanzan Association headquarters.

Suddenly, the elder's expression changed subtly as he whispered, "The dog is leaving its den!"

The two youths' eyes shifted, and one spoke in a hushed tone, "What about the wolfdog?"

"No movement," the elder replied softly.

"Then let's wait longer!" one of the youths responded with a slight shake of his head.

The three of them ended up waiting for an entire day.

Buzz!

The next day, still at the ramen shop in the evening, a strange fluctuation flashed by briefly while they were eating.

Fang Tiancheng's face changed slightly as he forced himself to calm down.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A series of powerful presences took to the skies, darting rapidly into the distance.

"Mr. Fang."

An Long's eyes were fixed intently on Fang Tiancheng.

"The wolfdog has left the den! Let's wait for a quarter of an hour, then we'll make our move a quarter-hour later!" Fang Tiancheng spoke in a deep voice.

An Long nodded heavily, a look of exhilaration flashing in his eyes as he suddenly viewed a direction with a trace of worry.

"Don't worry, with third brother by his side, Mr. Jiang will be fine!" Fang Tiancheng, noticing the anomaly in An Long's demeanor, also showed a look of concern. However, he comforted An Long and the others.

An Long nodded slightly.

Suddenly, An Hu who had been silent throughout, stood up and headed toward the entrance of the ramen shop. As he walked, he said, "I'm going to prepare some fun."

An Long glanced at An Hu, tacitly acknowledging his actions. He understood that An Hu, usually a man of few words and quiet, was also worried inside; he just didn't like to show it.

"Fun?"

Fang Tiancheng's brows furrowed, his voice showing a hint of dissatisfaction. "What sort of fun are you looking for at this time?"

An Long glanced at Fang Tiancheng with a mysterious smile. "Mr. Fang, An Hu isn't finding fun for himself, but for the mutts."

"Hm?" Fang Tiancheng looked at An Long with curiosity.

Wolfdog referred to the Soul Clone of the Eight-Headed Serpent, dog referred to the members of the Divine Palace, and mutt referred to the members of the Sanzan Association. These were secret codes the three had set before coming here, but Fang Tiancheng didn't understand what kind of fun An Hu was planning for the Sanzan Association's people.

"This guy got hooked on explosives while in the Liga Continent. Wherever he went, he'd carry some. He hid some in Dujing when he came this time," An Long explained in a low voice.

"Explosives?"

Fang Tiancheng was taken aback.
