Chapter 286: Heaven Will Not Tolerate Such Atrocity, I Shall Act on Behalf of Heaven!

Boom!

A thunderclap exploded!

A ten-thousand-foot lightning dragon descended from the horizon, and the ground beneath Xie Zhanxin's feet instantly cracked, spreading wildly in all directions.

At this moment, it felt as if the entire world was raging along with Xie Zhanxin.

"Someone is deliberately framing me."

Xie Zhanxin's expression was extremely cold, carrying a dense intent to kill.

"Is it Ji Tianxuan, Jiang Wenya, or... Zhuge Yi?"

No one else had the guts or the ability to frame him, so the only ones left capable of such things were the other three great families.

Just as Xie Zhanxin was pondering who could be framing him, he suddenly realized someone was approaching him at high speed.

"Who?!"

Xie Zhanxin jerked his head up, staring vigilantly in one direction, and the other four members of the Xie family immediately became alert.

A brilliant flash of lightning streaked by, like dawn tearing through the night; as the light gradually dissipated, a figure slowly solidified.

And when they saw the appearance of that figure, the five members of the Xie family were stunned!

The other four Xie family members were even more terrified, looking first at Xie Zhanxin, then at the person who had suddenly appeared, growing more shocked the longer they looked.

Because the person who suddenly appeared in the lightning, whether in face, physique, or even from their eyes to their temperament, was shockingly similar to Xie Zhanxin! The two were like twins; there was no difference to be seen at all!

Even the faint, dancing arcs of lightning on this person's body gave them an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Xie Zhanxin's pupils contracted sharply in shock; it wasn't rare for someone to look exactly like him, as many professionals skilled in disguise could achieve this given enough time.

But the fact that the other party was also skilled in lightning techniques made Xie Zhanxin incredibly alarmed!

"Who am I? I am you."

'Xie Zhanxin' slowly approached the Xie family members, each step taken with composure.

"You are me, I am you, we are one in heart and mind!"

'Xie Zhanxin' slowly pulled a stone carving from his chest and shoved it over; on that stone carving, a ferocious Taotie beast was carved with vivid realism!

"The thing you wanted, I've brought it for you!"

Xie Zhanxin, having taken the stone carving, was still completely bewildered. What was this? When had he ever asked for this?

But before he could react, the figure identical to him let out a long laugh and vanished from the spot.

"Stop!"

Xie Zhanxin instinctively moved to intercept the mysterious person who looked exactly like him, but at that moment, a shrill bird cry suddenly rang out from the sky!

A Dark-Winged Night Owl tore through the sky, flying toward them at high speed!

"Miss Jiang, look at what is in Xie Zhanxin's hand!" Ye Lin shouted a warning.

Jiang Wenya, having just arrived at the scene, took one look, and her expression instantly turned icy.

What Xie Zhanxin held was indeed the Taotie stone carving!

It matched! Everything matched!

If Jiang Wenya had still held a shred of doubt before, the moment she saw with her own eyes that Xie Zhanxin was holding the Taotie stone carving, all her doubts vanished into thin air!

"Xie Zhanxin! The shame of that day shall be repaid today!"

Jiang Wenya let out a sharp cry, and in an instant, the entire Mountain-Sea Secret Realm erupted, the earth shaking and the mountains swaying!

Countless demonic beasts began to converge here; when they were in the boundless ocean, the Jiang family had been defeated miserably by Xie Zhanxin precisely because there were no demonic beasts nearby for them to command.

Now that they were back on their home turf, the Jiang family naturally intended to settle the score!

Xie Zhanxin's expression changed wildly at this moment as well.

"Jiang Wenya, have you lost your mind?"

"I've lost my mind?" Seeing that Xie Zhanxin still dared to curse her, Jiang Wenya, already full of rage, was instantly ignited. "Then today I will show you just how terrifying a woman who has lost her mind can be!"

Jiang Wenya lifted her jade hand, and a glowing, deep-blue orb about the size of a fist appeared in her palm.

"Spirit Control: Berserk!"

Rays of light as thin as hair shot straight into the clouds, flying in all directions and landing on the bodies of the demonic beasts.

In an instant, those demonic beasts fell into a berserk state; their eyes turned blood-red, they let out roars, white saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths, and their bodies swelled in size!

One after another, the demonic beasts charged at the five Xie family members without fear of death; the attacks from the Xie family landed on them but could not make them retreat in the slightest, as if they had lost the ability to feel pain.

"Brother Zhanxin, what do we do!"

The Xie family members looked to Xie Zhanxin; Xie Zhanxin clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't!

After taking a deep breath, Xie Zhanxin suppressed his anger and looked at Jiang Wenya, shouting an explanation.

"Jiang Wenya! I don't know what you've been through, but this is all a misunderstanding! I was framed!"

"Framed?" Jiang Wenya laughed the moment she heard this. "Are you saying that someone looks exactly like you, is just as skilled in lightning techniques as you, is powerful enough to injure five of my Jiang family members alone at sea, and even snuck into the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm under the nose of the Human Emperor to frame you?"

Xie Zhanxin was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Jiang Wenya, I know this sounds hard to believe, but it's all true! This really is a misunderstanding!"

"Enough! Do you take me for a fool, Xie Zhanxin? If you're a man, show me that arrogant attitude you had at sea! Still calling it a misunderstanding?"

Jiang Wenya seemed to think of something and slowly tilted her head.

"Xie Zhanxin, I remember your fiancée is Zhuge Xinqian of the Zhuge family, right? Then you should know that Zhuge Xinqian's first love was my Jiang family's Jiang Pingchuan, right?"

"Brother Pingchuan drowned his sorrows in wine many times, saying that not being able to marry Zhuge Xinqian was the regret of his life. After all, everything that should have happened between them did, yet they couldn't have a good ending. I truly feel sad for Brother Pingchuan; I suppose this is also just a misunderstanding?"

"Oh, by the way, Brother Pingchuan also said that your fiancée is very moist~"

Xie Zhanxin's face was expressionless, and rays of brilliant, dazzling lightning raged out from his body.

Don't hit a person in the face, don't expose a person's shortcomings.

Once these words left Jiang Wenya's mouth, whether it was a misunderstanding no longer mattered; no man could hear these words and refrain from attacking.

Xie Zhanxin and Jiang Wenya stared at each other across the distance, both their eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.

Xie Zhanxin had been humiliated in public by Jiang Wenya, and Jiang Wenya believed that at sea, Xie Zhanxin had injured her group of five to steal the Taotie stone carving and had threatened to report the Jiang family to the Human Emperor; both felt the other was looking for trouble for no reason.

Since that was the case! Then fight!

At this moment, the true culprit jumped out, charging toward Xie Zhanxin with murderous intent.

"Sun Xiao... oh wait, no, Xie Zhanxin! You have done every evil deed, and heaven will not tolerate you. Today, I, Ye Lin, shall act on behalf of Heaven! I will help Miss Jiang eliminate you, this scourge!"
