Jiang Chen's eyes were dark as he watched the Black Mist Serpent, "Eight-Headed, you really are like a lingering spirit! Dare to attack the Venerable Realm experts of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, you've got guts!"

"Venerable Realm?!"

The Black Mist Serpent was surprised for a moment, glanced at Old Master Tang lying on the ground, and let out a light laugh, "These followers have done well! To actually manage to implant the Soul Devouring Seed into the body of a Venerable Realm expert, not bad! It's a pity..."

Looking up at Jiang Chen, the Black Mist Serpent's eyes revealed a cold gleam, "You messed it up again! Boy, from today on, I will issue the Order of Absolute Assassination! I will ensure that you'll never have a day of peace!"

"Bring it on! I want to see just how many Martial Artists from Beihai National have what it takes to fall by my hand!" Jiang Chen spoke with an icy voice, and his Blood Saber lit up as he roared, "First Form of the Blood Dance Dharmic Heaven, Sky-Cleaving Slash!"

Hum hum hum!

The Blood Saber trembled violently, streaks of mighty Bloody Radiance shone from within, and Jiang Chen's entire body was engulfed by a blood mist.

Tang Zhennan's face changed dramatically, staring intently at Jiang Chen, he felt the presence of death emanating from Jiang Chen's body.

"Young Tang, do you believe it now? This kid's strength is not as simple as you imagined!" Ouyang Zhen glanced at Tang Zhennan and spoke softly.

Whoosh!

The Blood Saber fiercely slashed towards the Black Mist Serpent, a longsword light emerged, swiftly cutting into the body of the Black Mist Serpent.

"Brat, I will make you..." The Black Mist Serpent instantly transformed into a cloud of mist, dissipating while the cold voice of the Eight-Headed serpent echoed.

A flash of golden light swept through Jiang Chen's eyes, and a supremely dominant aura burst forth from him, enveloping the entire patch of black mist!

"This is..." Tang Zhennan watched in amazement, his eyeballs almost popping out, he exclaimed with disbelief, "How is this possible? Two powers? How can he have two completely different powers on him? And each one is so powerful?"

"Young Tang, remember, when it comes to Mr. Jiang, nothing should surprise you because his existence is the strangest thing in this world!" Ouyang Zhen said with a light laugh.

"Found you!" Jiang Chen shouted lowly, his figure flashed, and his left hand slapped out fiercely.

"Ao!"

A dragon's roar sounded, and a dazzling golden light shot out from Jiang Chen's palm.

"Damn it! Ah!"

Boom!

A piercing scream resounded as a very thin strand of black mist within the black fog burst violently.

As that strand of black mist burst, all the black fog disappeared in an instant.

"This..."

"What's going on?!"

Lou Family Patriarch and others all wore faces of astonishment.

Whew!

Jiang Chen exhaled deeply, casually tossing the Blood Saber behind him.

Yan Hu swiftly grabbed the cane from Tang Wanru's hands, flashed forward, and extended the bottom of the cane.

Clang!

The Blood Saber sheathed!

Jiang Chen stepped over to Old Master Tang, carefully checked his current condition, and pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"Mr... Mr. Jiang, how is my father?" Tang Zhennan came to Jiang Chen's side anxiously, looking at him with anticipation.

If he still couldn't see what was happening now, then he would be a fool!

"My soul is slightly weakened, but it's nothing serious. My fighting strength is currently only at the Peak Semi Venerable Venerable Realm. To fully recover, I'll need to rest for a while," Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, responding while he opened a porcelain bottle and poured out an Elixir.

"A Soul Nourishing Pill?!" Tang Zhennan exclaimed in shock, staring blankly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at Tang Zhennan and stuffed the Soul Nourishing Pill into Old Master Tang's mouth.

Slap, slap!

The Lou Family Patriarch patted Tang Zhennan on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't be surprised. Have you forgotten? Our strength was enhanced with help from Mr. Jiang. Is it really so strange for him to have a Soul Nourishing Pill?"

"This..." Tang Zhennan suddenly came to his senses.

It was known throughout the Martial Dao World along the river that the likes of the Lou Family Patriarch had broken through to the Semi Venerable Realm thanks to Jiang Chen, but the exact reasons were unknown.

Some speculated that Jiang Chen had stirred their emotions, others guessed he had unwittingly enlightened them, and still others believed that the battle against the Ouyang Family had shown them Jiang Chen's convictions.

Tang Zhennan had also speculated in this manner before, but after hearing Lou Family Patriarch's words, he suddenly realized something was amiss. Glancing at the porcelain bottle in Jiang Chen's hand, Tang Zhennan trembled all over.

He tentatively said, "Polyporus... a Polyporus Breaking Mirror Elixir?"

The Lou Family Patriarch smirked slightly but didn't answer or nod. Instead, he turned to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen put the porcelain bottle away and gently tapped Old Master Tang a few times.

Hum!

A vast aura suddenly surged to the sky. Old Master Tang sprang up with a roar, shouting, "Beasts! You..."

Whoosh!

A gale whipped up; without even looking, Old Master Tang slammed his palm harshly towards Jiang Chen.

"Old Bai, have you gone mad?" Jiang Chen didn't dodge but looked disdainfully at Old Master Tang.

Old Master Tang, hearing the voice and sensing something was off, quickly retracted his palm and took a closer look. He paused for a moment and said in surprise, "Young Jiang?! Where is that beast Tang Yucheng?"

Suddenly noticing that the surroundings were amiss, Old Master Tang turned his head and scanned around, perplexed, "This is the western forest? How did you..."

"Father, was it Soul Poison that Yucheng used on you?"

Tang Zhennan, recalling something from Old Master Tang's cry, had his expression darken considerably.

Old Master Tang said coldly, "It was him! He came to me last night, claiming he had encountered an expert abroad who said his soul was damaged, and if it could be repaired, he could train in martial arts. He wanted me to check for him!"

"But I never suspected, as soon as I allowed my Soul Power to penetrate his mind, a sinister Black Mist followed my Soul Power into my head. Then, I felt that mist trying to devour my soul, and I started to fight back!"

After summarizing his encounter, Old Master Tang turned to Tang Zhennan and asked, "What happened after I got hurt?"

"This... Yucheng concocted a story, saying that Mr. Jiang... and so we... in the end, it was Mr. Jiang who used his Soul Power to draw out the Black Mist from your head and killed it," Tang Zhennan said awkwardly.

"To dominate the Martial Dao World along the river?!"

Old Master Tang looked at Tang Zhennan in amazement, then became furious. "You believed such excuses?! And the Zhuge Family as your proof? The Zhuge Family sided with Youming Hall, they would only wish for Young Jiang's death; you also believed their testimony? Zhennan, have you grown foolish abroad?"

After scolding Tang Zhennan, Old Master Tang looked apologetically at Jiang Chen and said, "Young Jiang, I apologize; this old man owes you his life."

"Old Master Tang, you're taking it too seriously. We should hurry back to the Tang Family; I suspect... they might take control of the Tang Family!" Jiang Chen's brow furrowed lightly as he spoke in a deep tone.

"They can't control the Tang Family!" Old Master Tang declared confidently.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, looking sternly at Old Master Tang:

"What if they captured the Family Head, Tang Yulin, and Tang Feng? Or if they directly killed them? Leaving only Tang Yucheng as the successor, what will you do then?"
