Chapter 381: When I Am Appointed General, There Will Be No More Aristocratic Family Alliance Here

"Damn it!"

Jiang Yuan cursed out loud, then saw Chen Yan flying over.

Jiang Yuan was stunned; Chen Yan's clothes were clean, his face was fair, and he was completely unharmed.

"Jiang Yuan, are you alright?" Chen Yan asked.

"I'm fine." Jiang Yuan scrambled up, took a deep breath, and looked at Chen Yan.

He was raging internally, feeling that everything Chen Yan had just done was an act, with the sole purpose of getting him to open the iron door.

But Jiang Yuan didn't say it out loud; after all, it was just a feeling.

Why did nothing good ever happen whenever he encountered Chen Yan?

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and smiled:

"I'm fine, I'm doing great, not a single thing wrong!"

The iron door opened, and Chen Yan looked inside.

This was a basement covering over ten thousand square meters; the area near the iron door had been affected by the explosion and was destroyed.

Chen Yan and Jiang Yuan continued to walk inside, falling silent as they watched.

A thick aura of malice rushed toward them.

Rows of glass vessels filled with cyan solution stood like silent soldiers.

They sat on the ground, with a stark white pipe extending from the top of each, reaching all the way to the ceiling.

Inside every glass vessel were chilling human limbs, either floating quietly, curled up, or stretched out in strange postures.

It was hair-raising.

Chen Yan passed by a glass vessel where a head with three faces was submerged in the solution, and they were all speaking in unison.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello."

This whispered call sounded like the hiss of a ghost, chilling one to the bone.

"Animals, they really are all animals." Jiang Yuan cursed as he walked:

"Hahaha, all animals."

He laughed wildly and took out a formation array used for recording images to start capturing these scenes.

"Can't use a phone; a powerful martial artist can shatter a phone's components in an instant with their Qi and blood," Jiang Yuan said:

"Hahaha."

His state was a bit off; it seemed like that suppressed second personality was becoming agitated.

Chen Yan's face was cold, and he didn't say a word; he felt that he had killed too few people.

He hated the Master of Hardened Body, because he had understood from the very beginning that the evil of man is no more noble than the evil of the world.

He thought he had grown accustomed to it, but seeing these scenes still made his heart churn with nausea and murderous intent.

He wanted to kill, but there was no one left to kill here.

Yet he wanted to kill.

His will had even shifted, and his Will Divine Body was vibrating silently.

The impact of the world once again proved the correctness and power of the Path of Will.

Perhaps there were ten thousand Daos one could walk in this world, but the Path of Will was definitely the most arduous, the most foolish, and the most arrogant path of them all.

"Jiang Yuan, you need to become stronger." Chen Yan spoke suddenly, and Jiang Yuan behind him froze.

Am I weaker than you?

Chen Yan, however, continued to speak to himself:

"I hope you can all become stronger, so you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

Jiang Yuan didn't understand; he wanted to lash out, but he held it back.

Jiang Yuan searched for a long time before finding the switch that controlled the life and death of the creatures in the vessels.

Jiang Yuan was silent for a long time before pressing the death switch.

"End it, end your painful lives," Jiang Yuan said:

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you don't encounter the Aristocratic Family Alliance again."

"No," Chen Yan walked forward:

"When I am appointed General, there will be no more Aristocratic Family Alliance in this world."

Jiang Yuan's gaze trembled, and he followed Chen Yan as they walked deeper inside.

Reaching the very back, Chen Yan and Jiang Yuan saw a row of metal boxes embedded in the wall.

These metal boxes were three meters high and two meters wide, shaped like giant oval cocoons.

These were Blood-Scenting Devices.

These Blood-Scenting Devices possessed an overall silver-gray luster with a highly sci-fi texture.

Each one was pieced together from countless precision-forged metal plates, with the seams forged perfectly tight.

A faint scent of mixed Qi, blood, and malice wafted from them.

Chen Yan had only heard of them before; these Blood-Scenting Devices were all very high-grade.

"I finally know how those monsters came to be," Jiang Yuan said:

"They use these devices to scent blood every day, and the malice mixed within this Qi and blood energy affects people."

Chen Yan's eyes flashed; everything made sense now.

He had once, under the identity of Ice Intent, wiped out the group of Chen Jixuan and Chen Qianqian from the Luo Chen.

At the time, he had discovered blood-Qi treasure medicine tainted with malice inside Chen Jixuan's storage ring.

Chen Yan had wondered back then why such treasure medicine would be produced.

Seen in this light, it was the Aristocratic Family Alliance researching in private, wanting to forcefully extract the blood-Qi energy from within ancient divine beasts.

Producing it this way would indeed greatly increase production efficiency, but it also polluted the blood-Qi energy.

"Should we absorb it?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"How can one absorb blood-Qi that has malice in it?" Chen Yan frowned.

Jiang Yuan took out a malice crystal and said:

"Don't forget, I told you before that some malice crystals can oppose other malice crystals."

Chen Yan took the malice crystal from Jiang Yuan and nodded.

Jiang Yuan had once shown off his skills, swallowing a malice crystal directly inside the Dream Abyss to use it to resist the malice of the Dream Abyss.

Jiang Yuan clearly wanted Chen Yan to try this as well, using the malice crystal to neutralize the malice within the blood-sniffing devices.

Neither of them spelled it out, but both had entered the Path of Will and could rely on their will to erase malice.

"Fine." Chen Yan nodded.

"Then I'll modify the program; this device originally requires a card swipe, so I'll go change it to unlimited."

Jiang Yuan smiled and walked over to the two blood-sniffing devices closest to the wall.

"These are for the exclusive use of senior researchers, the quality is the best!"

Jiang Yuan spoke, pried open the iron plate of the blood-sniffing device, and began to operate; wire after wire was reassembled by him, and the array embedded within was also modified by him.

Chen Yan sighed inwardly; Jiang Yuan was indeed multi-talented, simply the perfect candidate for an undercover agent.

"Don't thank me, this is only because you split the treasure medicine with me." Jiang Yuan smiled, though he was suspicious in his heart; he doubted Chen Yan had been that kind-hearted before.

Yet at this very moment.

Click.

A line of numbers appeared on the displays of the entire row of blood-sniffing devices.

【00:00:10】

In the blink of an eye.

This line of numbers changed.

【00:00:09】

"Damn it!" Jiang Yuan let out a low roar:

"Self-destruct array!"

Chen Yan was also startled.

Jiang Yuan had modified the device, and as a result, triggered the self-destruct system of the blood-sniffing devices.

A strong aura of danger arrived.

Almost in an instant, Jiang Yuan formed seals with his hands and cast an array.

Between his fingers, mental energy surged, and in a turn, he condensed mysterious secret scripts and struck them into the mechanical system of this row of blood-sniffing devices.

Chen Yan's pupils trembled; the array Jiang Yuan was casting was of the Bright Moon grade!

Immediately following.

The countdown on the blood-sniffing device slowed down significantly, getting stuck at 【00:00:07】 and not moving.

"I've suppressed the self-destruct array; these devices will explode in seventy minutes now." Jiang Yuan cursed under his breath:

"We'll absorb for sixty-nine minutes, then run straight away!"

Chen Yan nodded, looking at Jiang Yuan and sighing inwardly.

The sheer number of Jiang Yuan's methods left him astonished.

The other party was truly worthy of being the head of the Second-Tier General Stars.

Jiang Yuan was the first to step into a blood-sniffing device; he did not intend to waste any time.

The moment he entered the device, Jiang Yuan's previously solemn expression suddenly changed.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Jiang Yuan laughed out loud, his eyes shining with brilliance:

"This time, you've finally been tricked by me!"

Jiang Yuan had been holding it in for a long time, and finally, he laughed.

The malice crystal he gave Chen Yan was only third-tier and could not possibly resist much of the malice contained within the blood-Qi.

In other words, once Chen Yan entered the blood-sniffing device, he would have no way to absorb much of this blood-Qi energy polluted by malice.

But he, Jiang Yuan...

"Has awakened a brand-new martial path!" Jiang Yuan grinned hideously.

That brand-new martial path could erase malice!

When Jiang Yuan discovered this characteristic of the brand-new martial path, he was completely stunned.

But the miracle had truly happened just like that!

Jiang Yuan grinned hideously.

Truly grinning hideously.

Having been in contact with Chen Yan for so long, he had suffered huge losses every single day.

This time, it was finally his turn to win.

Jiang Yuan looked at the switch device to the side and pushed the button directly to the very top.

"One thousand percent power enabled!"

"Maximum power will consume the stored energy in a very short time; please pay attention to your exchange points."

An electronic voice rang out.

Boom!

Rolling Qi-blood energy containing malice instantly poured into the Blood-Scenting Chamber.

Jiang Yuan shuddered:

"The Aristocratic Family Alliance, may they die a horrible death!"

He laughed out loud; the Qi-blood energy at this maximum power was too dense, and absorbing it for ten minutes was comparable to swallowing a Bright Moon-grade, fourth-tier Qi-blood precious medicine.

Chen Jijun really deserves to die, cultivating pure precious medicines for himself to absorb, while giving his subordinates this kind of polluted Qi-blood to absorb.

Jiang Yuan activated the Word Realm, his will vibrating.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

His rolling will began to grind away the malice.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Yuan let out a low roar; the malice within this Qi-blood energy was too intense.

Even with his Word Realm activated, he could not simultaneously obliterate so much malice while absorbing the Qi-blood energy.

Jiang Yuan cursed under his breath and adjusted the power again.

The electronic female voice rang out simultaneously.

"Eight hundred percent power activated."

Jiang Yuan frowned and adjusted it again.

"Seven hundred percent activated..."

"Five hundred percent activated..."

"Four hundred percent activated..."

Jiang Yuan's expression became somewhat ugly.

"Three hundred percent power activated."

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips; only after jumping down to three hundred percent power did he manage to adapt.

He could now simultaneously obliterate the malice within the Qi-blood energy while absorbing the Qi-blood energy.

"Forget it, this is already quite good." Jiang Yuan smiled faintly and lay down, feeling content.

…………

"One thousand percent power activated!

Maximum power will consume the stored energy in a very short time; please pay attention to your exchange points."

The electronic female voice rang out.

Inside the Blood-Scenting Device where Chen Yan was located, the dense Qi-blood energy mixed with malice had almost condensed into a tangible stream of water.

Chen Yan did not pause in the slightest for Jiang Yuan's helplessness.

At this moment, it was the time for a Will Master to perform.

Chen Yan activated the Stand Realm, exerted his will, and began to obliterate the malice within the Qi-blood energy.

Compared to Jiang Yuan, Chen Yan's will was indescribably powerful.

The malice within this Qi-blood energy was not a matter of concern to Chen Yan at all.

Chen Yan wanted to imitate his time in the Martial Suppression Class and trace the Qi-blood pipes to find the Qi-blood pool for this Qi-blood.

But soon, Chen Yan gave up.

There was no Qi-blood pool at all; the operating principle of this Blood-Scenting Device was to use precise arrays to combine and convert the flesh and blood of a large number of Ancient God Beasts into Qi-blood energy.

This is the charm of technology.

Chen Yan felt that he needed to get a set of such Blood-Scenting Devices; then, he would only need to hunt Ancient God Beasts to obtain a large amount of Qi-blood energy.

Or go directly to learn about arrays.

Chen Yan's eyes flashed; this was definitely a perfect path to becoming stronger.

He temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

Chen Yan obliterated the malice while absorbing the Qi-blood energy.

He circulated the 【Illusion Ripple Abyss Domain】, and the phantom images of the True Dragon and Black Tortoise surged and galloped over his physical body.

Chen Yan's physical body was overflowing with glowing precious light, and rolling Qi-blood energy poured into his Qi-blood Divine Body.

Chen Yan's Qi-blood Divine Body was blooming with rosy light, bathing in the surging Qi-blood energy.

Chen Yan had never been so extravagant.

This turbid Qi-blood energy, which was a deadly poison to others, was like heaven-sent sweet dew to him.

On his Qi-blood Divine Body, his left hand, which had never been forged before, had one finger finished being forged in the blink of an eye.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, red light permeated.

The 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit began to grow.

Ten percent!

…………

Twenty percent!

…………

Fifty percent!

…………

Ninety percent!

In about fifteen minutes, a 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit ripened!

Chen Yan immediately consumed it.

The blood-Qi energy contained within this 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit was equivalent to one hundred of them from the college entrance examination secret realm!

In just an instant, the left hand of his Blood-Qi Divine Body was fully forged.

Following that, a second 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit began to grow.

Joy appeared on Chen Yan's face.

With his Blood-Qi Divine Body continuously being forged, Chen Yan felt it was time to make a move on that Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder!

Chen Yan directed his perception toward the origin space of the Hard-Refining Path.

After he slaughtered hundreds of people, this Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder had indeed become more powerful, even showing a trend of rising toward the Bright Moon-grade Grade C.

But at this moment, the Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder also appeared slightly withered.

This was the same as human exercise.

After intense exercise, the human body enters its weakest state, but after slow recovery, the body's strength becomes greater than it was before the exercise.

Just as Chen Yan guessed, after the slaughter, the Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder would become stronger, but it would also create the risk of being absorbed by Chen Yan.

Chen Yan quietly opened the sealing formation.

Hiss!

A wisp of pitch-black lightning thread was extracted by Chen Yan.

Boom!

The Ten Thousand Prison Nether Thunder rioted, its aura incomparably terrifying; the next moment, it was almost about to break through the sealing formation.

Chen Yan sighed inwardly, what a violent thunder.

But he had already succeeded.

Chen Yan began to absorb the lightning thread he had extracted.

Even just a single wisp was enough to raise the quality of Chen Yan's blood-Qi!

Because it was powerful enough.

There is a world of difference between the Bright Moon-grade and the Morning Star-grade.

Chen Yan circulated the 【Illusionary Ripple Abyss Domain】, forging his Blood-Qi Divine Body while absorbing this lightning element.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, ink-colored flames representing elemental energy began to emerge.

The aura on Chen Yan's body became increasingly profound and increasingly terrifying.

This forging session could double Chen Yan's strength.

Chen Yan always felt that being a First-Rank General Star was just a title and would not make him strong.

Therefore, the strength of one's own self is the most important thing.

…………

"It's over!!!"

The red-haired old man, Blood Sword Saint, roared, bloodshot veins overflowing from his eyes; he had already searched all of Xiaoyang City and still hadn't found Chen Yan.

"My ancestor!" Blood Sword Saint opened his mouth:

"If anything happens to you, Xia Hanzhou will kill me!!!"

He regretted it immensely; why did he have to go drinking?

Drinking ruins things, drinking ruins things!

Blood Sword Saint's complexion was incomparably ugly.

He walked in the depths of the hidden void, his gaze looking downward, instantly locking onto one person.

Hum!

Deacon Hu, who was still soaking in a hot spring, was completely bewildered; he hadn't even put on his clothes, but his neck had already been grabbed by someone.

"Where did Chen Yan go?!" Blood Sword Saint roared, an endless murderous intent ready to instantly annihilate Deacon Hu.

"You!" Deacon Hu's pupils shrank, his entire complexion turning deathly pale:

"Blood Sword Saint!"

He was scared to death; Blood Sword Saint had appeared!

Blood Sword, Blood Sword, forging a sword with blood.

This person's reputation as a God of Slaughter shook the Great Xia!

Although he couldn't compare to Lu Xunyang, he was still a terrifying figure.

Deacon Hu's complexion was extremely ugly; how had he been targeted by Blood Sword Saint?

"Where is Chen Yan?!" Blood Sword Saint roared:

"Speak quickly!"

Deacon Hu's head was dizzy:

"I don't know."

"Speak quickly!!!!" Blood Sword Saint roared:

"If anything happens to Chen Yan, I will annihilate you a hundred times!"

Deacon Hu's heart was about to be scared out of his chest.

He realized he was wrong.

Chen Yan actually had a powerful background all along.

With Blood Sword Saint here, what could Chen Xiyuan use to frame Chen Yan?
