Chapter 304

"This girl."

Jiang Zhao gazed at the holographic screen, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She has already noticed.

Yao Tong’s bone structure is identical to her own.

Jiang Jian turned his head, looked at Zhou Lingling, and said sternly, "Go to Anyang Community immediately."

Zhou Lingling responded and turned to give orders.

Soon.

The Zhou family’s warship rose into the sky, pierced through the clouds, and flew toward Anyang Community.

"The government officials asked several times; I’ve fended them off without saying much."

Zhou Lingling sat back on the sofa, still speaking and acting with some restraint.

Jiang Jian nodded and said softly, "Just say you detected demonic corruption and needed to eliminate it. Don’t mention anything else."

Zhou Lingling replied, "Understood."

The warship cut through clouds and mist, traveling across the sky of Shangzhou.

Its speed was rapid.

In just over ten minutes, it reached Anyang Community and hovered deep within the cloud layer.

"Yao Tong will return to the community in fifteen minutes."

Zhou Lingling glanced at her identity device and spoke quietly.

Jiang Jian stood before the hatch, gazing down at the community below, and said, "Prepare the annihilator cannons. When she enters the community, lock onto her and fire immediately."

Zhou Lingling lifted her head, her expression confident, and said, "These two annihilator cannons were purchased by the Zhou family from Chang’an Prefecture. Their power is immense—if we strike suddenly, even a Divine Palace cultivator will suffer."

Around the warship, a row of hovering guard vehicles floated in place.

On two of these vehicles, terrifying annihilator cannons were mounted.

Their barrels were thick and round, as wide as car wheels, connected behind to model reaction arrays.

Once activated, they instantly fire annihilating beams that obliterate everything along their path, triggering catastrophic explosions at the target point!

Although Divine Palace beings are minimally affected by technological weapons,

annihilator cannons are products of divine technology fused with spiritual array principles—not pure technological weapons.

If sufficient energy is supplied, firing an annihilator cannon,

while unable to outright kill a Divine Palace being, can still inflict severe disruption within a short time.

Jiang Jian nodded, meditating quietly while sensing the energy below, waiting silently.

If this method can eliminate her without risking ourselves, it is best.

Physicians’ methods are strange and unpredictable; the beings they assign to guard their drugs are never easy foes.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

A new-style hovercar arrived and stopped at the community entrance.

A few seconds later, the cabin door opened.

The girl, carrying a shoulder bag, expressionless, stepped out and walked into the community.

At the community gate, Zhou family guards disguised as security personnel smiled and greeted the girl.

She nodded slightly, seemingly unaware of anything unusual, and continued walking along the community path.

"The source of the bloodline pull is right here."

Jiang Zhao gazed down at the scene below, her tone calm.

Meanwhile,

Zhou Lingling watched her identity device, matching the girl’s path to determine the optimal aiming distance for the annihilator cannons.

"Ten meters."

"Five meters."

"One meter."

Zhou Lingling gripped her identity device tightly, her knuckles turning white.

When the holographic screen showed the girl entering the strike zone, she pressed the button!

BOOM!

From the cloud layer, two terrifying beams of light appeared, blazing down with intense flame!

The dim evening sky was instantly lit into broad daylight!

Time seemed to slow.

Yao Tong seemed to sense something, stopped walking, and looked upward.

Her face was blank, her eyes hollow, yet to Zhou Lingling and the others, it felt as if she wore a chilling, ever-present smile.

In an instant,

the two annihilator beams tore through the air and slammed down directly before Yao Tong!

But the most bizarre thing was—

Around her, a transparent light shield appeared, instantly dissolving both annihilator beams into nothingness!

The next second,

the community fell silent again.

"System 7 drug."

Yao Tong smiled faintly, speaking to herself, "Drug retrieval interval: seventy-nine years."

"Before retrieval, the drug has gone out of control."

As she spoke,

she slowly extended her arms.

A terrifying aura rose from her body.

Seeing Yao Tong’s reaction,

Jiang Jian felt slightly relieved.

Based on her behavior,

Jiang Jian had already deduced roughly:

Before this,

Yao Tong had no knowledge that the twelve crystals within the Divine Illumination Barrier had been stripped away by him.

This clearly indicates that, to remain hidden on Earth before the drug retrieval time, she rarely actively monitored the drug’s status.

Instead, she pretended to be an ordinary person, following her predetermined life path.

Only when attacked or sensing obvious anomalies would her special abilities as a "Drug Attendant" begin to awaken.

Thinking of this,

Jiang Jian’s gaze turned cold. He flipped his palm and activated the origami token: "Unleash full force—kill this fiend!"

Jiang Jian’s gaze turned slightly cold; he flipped his palm and activated the origami token: “Attack with full force, kill this fiend!”

The sound of shattering space rang out.

The short-clad boy’s face turned icy. He stepped forward, his hand transforming into a paper blade, tearing black fissures in its path as it slashed toward Yao Tong!

Yao Tong’s expression remained blank as she stared coldly at Qing Feng’s paper blade.

Yao Tong’s face was expressionless as she coldly watched the cleaving hand blade of Qing Feng.

A strange sound of devouring echoed.

Qing Feng’s paper blade struck a fleeting light shield—and was severed at the root, dissolving instantly into nothingness!

Qing Feng’s paper blade, slicing through the air, struck a fleeting light shield—and was severed at the root, vanishing into nothingness!

Amidst cracking explosions, Qing Feng’s face changed drastically. He yanked back violently; paper shreds flew from his severed arm, reforming into a new one.

He retreated to a distance, staring at Yao Tong in the community, and whispered to Jiang Jian: "Master, this creature has a strange protective shield that nullifies all attacks!"

"My paper blade just now could have severely wounded an ordinary Divine Palace cultivator—yet this girl turned it into nothing!"

“The hand blade I just unleashed could severely wound a normal Divine Palace cultivator, yet this woman turned it directly into nothing!”

dozens of meters away, Ming Yue materialized. Unlike Qing Feng, she did not act rashly; instead, she formed hand seals, and countless paper figures surged from nothingness, screaming toward Yao Tong!

Dozens of meters away, Ming Yue materialized; unlike Qing Feng, she did not act recklessly, but instead formed hand seals with both hands, summoning countless paper figures from nothingness that howled toward Yao Tong!

Shattering sounds rang continuously.

Around Yao Tong, the light shields flickered in and out, dissolving every attacking paper figure before it reached her.

"System 7 drug: noted as naturally gifted, possessing wisdom that may one day allow awareness of its own condition."

Yao Tong extended both arms, her hollow eyes piercing through the heavy clouds, locking directly onto Jiang Jian: "It seems true. Not only did you break free from the Soul Binding Chains, you even found me."

The Soul Binding Chains refer to the twelve crystals.

Any being bound by this shackle

can never break through to the Divine Palace realm in their lifetime.

"The blood stripped from you will forever carry your imprint."

Yao Tong finally stopped moving. As she spoke softly, her aura surged violently, skyrocketing to an unimaginable level!

Zhou Lingling, Zhou Sisi, Liu Feng, and others all paled in terror at the sight.

Zhou Lingling, Zhou Sisi, Liu Feng, and the others, upon seeing this scene, all turned pale with fear!

"Divine Palace Realm!"

Stronger than an ordinary Divine Palace! At least at the level of Seeing the Divine Platform!

This bastard is terrifying!

We are clearly no match for him!

Should we notify our ancestral elder and report to the Taiping Prefecture Office at the same time?

On the Zhou family’s vessel, Zhou Lingling and the others looked terrified, at a loss for what to do, all turning their gazes toward Jiang Jian.

Seeing the Divine Platform is a realm within the Divine Palace stage.

Some call it the “Divine Platform Realm,” a stage all top-tier Divine Palace beings must pass through.

Yet it is still far inferior to the “Spirit Platform Realm.”

But compared to ordinary Divine Palace beings, those in the “Divine Platform Realm” are vastly stronger.

At this moment.

Beside him, Jiang Zhao’s face turned as white as paper, her whole body trembling as if engulfed in excruciating pain.

Just then.

A bone-chilling voice emerged from Yao Tong’s mouth!

“Reverse Blood! Extract Spirit!”

Yao Tong spoke slowly, her hands moving as if unleashing an extraordinary technique.

Jiang Zhao’s body shook even more violently.

Jiang Jian remained grim and alert, prepared for anything, yet he sensed no anomaly whatsoever.

The next instant.

His sister lifted her head, forcing a smile through the piercing agony: “The bloodline you gave me—I’ve turned it into a tool, fully mastered it. Yao Tong’s technique has failed.”

Below.

Yao Tong also sensed it; for the first time, her expressionless face showed shock.

“Mastering the bloodline!”

“How is this possible!”

“According to the drug notes, the extraction of the bloodline clearly left behind an opportunity to extract the spirit!”

She furrowed her brows, as if pondering something.

But soon.

She abandoned that line of thought, turned her gaze to Jiang Jian, and sneered.

“You think you can escape my watch?”

Her form twisted, transforming into silver light.

She surged upward at an indescribable speed.

She enveloped Jiang Jian entirely.

Together, they merged into the silver light and flooded deep into Jiang Zhao’s pupils!
