Chapter 35: Revenge Does Not Wait Overnight

Ding~

Just as the Flying Sword in Chen Jiaojiao's hand pierced her chest, a burst of force suddenly struck her wrist.

Her wrist went numb, and the Flying Sword fell to the ground.

Liang Chen's cold voice followed immediately.

"Want to die?"

"Without my permission, you cannot die even if you want to."

Chen Jiaojiao's expression changed, and her Spirit Sense broke out of her body without hesitation.

The Flying Sword on the ground was gripped as if by an invisible hand, shot upward, and stabbed straight toward her own chest.

"Get lost!"

Liang Chen frowned and shouted explosively.

A tyrannical force was transmitted along with the shout; the Flying Sword failed to pierce Chen Jiaojiao's body and was knocked flying away.

Just as Chen Jiaojiao was about to continue chasing, Liang Chen suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost.

Immediately after, her neck tightened, and she was lifted up by Liang Chen, who gripped her throat with one hand.

Her snow-white neck was instantly squeezed red and purple.

A tyrannical force invaded her body, directly suppressing all of her Spiritual Power.

After her power was suppressed, she felt as if she had become an ordinary person.

No matter how she struggled, she could not break free in the slightest.

Liang Chen scanned her body, the lecherous look on his face growing more intense, and then his gaze fell upon her beautiful face.

"I said, without my permission, you cannot die even if you want to."

As he spoke, he looked at Qian Yu, who had just walked to his side, "Brother Qian Yu, how about we do this together?"

"Excellent!"

Qian Yu laughed.

"I think you had better consider your own situation first."

Just as Qian Yu finished speaking, before the two could make any further moves, a voice suddenly came from behind them without warning.

The sudden voice gave the two a start.

As if their backsides had been scalded, the two didn't even care to continue restraining Chen Jiaojiao and instantly darted forward several dozen zhang.

Only after confirming that the person behind them had not followed did they heave a sigh of relief and look back with gloomy expressions.

"Wang Jianqiang, it's you!"

When the two saw clearly who was behind them, they were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

Wang Jianqiang had actually delivered himself to their doorstep!

Was he crazy?

Did he not want to live?

Then, the two reacted.

"Wang Jianqiang, you idiot, I was just worrying about not being able to find you, I didn't expect you to come to your death on your own!"

"Hahaha, that saves us quite a bit of effort."

Liang Chen stared at Wang Jianqiang with malicious intent, his expression excited.

Although Qian Yu did not speak, the greed and killing intent in his eyes already said everything.

"Pathetic."

Seeing the two acting as if they had him in the bag, Wang Jianqiang sneered, too lazy to waste words with them.

With a flick of his finger, a strand of emerald sword Qi merged into the void.

Silently and soundlessly, a Great Array enveloped the two.

"An Array? No, it should be a spell!"

Liang Chen and Qian Yu were taken aback, then felt it was somewhat inconceivable.

This old good-for-nothing actually possessed such profound methods?

After the Wood Sword Array took shape, Wang Jianqiang's attacks did not stop.

He continued to point his finger.

A flash of fire merged into the Array.

The next moment, the interior of the Wood Great Array was instantly covered by a sea of fire.

The scorching flames instantly enveloped the two inside the Array.

Only now did the two finally react.

The terrifying burning pain caused their faces to instantly become incomparably twisted, and shrill screams rang out.

"Impossible, how could you be this strong!"

"Aren't you at the Qi Refining Third Layer???"

"You hid your strength!"

"No~ we were wrong, spare us..."

"Grandpa~"

Inside the Great Array, the screams grew weaker and weaker.

Wang Jianqiang watched the interior of the Array with a cold expression until the two were completely incinerated in the sea of fire.

Previously, even when his strength was suppressed, he could easily withstand Wu Yan and Wu Feng.

Although Liang Chen and Qian Yu were stronger, he no longer had the Jade Stone to suppress them.

By unleashing his full power, he easily killed the two of them with just the superposition of two layers of Array.

Crack!

Just at this moment, a sound came from behind him.

Wang Jianqiang turned to look.

Niu Shouren was fleeing in a panic toward the distance.

The sound that had been made was caused by him stepping on and crushing an ice grass in his frantic, directionless escape.

"Nephew-in-law, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"And you didn't even say hello to your uncle?"

Wang Jianqiang pointed his finger, and the Perfect Cloud Water Cold Light Sword shot out, catching up to Niu Shouren in just a few breaths.

The sword tip pointed directly at Niu Shouren, blocking his path.

Although its power was hidden and not yet released, the cold air it naturally radiated made Niu Shouren's body stiffen, and even his skin was covered in a layer of frost.

Niu Shouren turned pale with fright.

Terrified, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a pestle pounding garlic.

"Uncle Wang, spare me~"

"Uncle Wang, spare me."

"For the sake of me once being your nephew-in-law, please just treat me like a fart and let me go~"

"I won't dare to do it again."

Wang Jianqiang sighed lightly, "Shouren, to know one's mistakes and be able to correct them is the greatest virtue; I am very gratified that you could realize your mistake so quickly."

Niu Shouren sensed that Wang Jianqiang's tone had softened and, seemingly seeing an opportunity, his eyes lit up.

"However, there is a principle I hope you understand."

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang's voice continued to come through.

"Please speak, Uncle Wang, Shouren will certainly follow it." Niu Shouren responded eagerly.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "The principle is very simple: no matter who it is, if they commit a wrong, they must bear the consequences. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Uncle Wang, I understand." Niu Shouren nodded hurriedly, "I will definitely keep this principle in mind from now on."

"No, you don't understand."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and pointed his finger.

The Sword Light flashed.

Niu Shouren's chest was instantly pierced through, and a terrifying cold force erupted.

Before his wound even had time to bleed, his entire body was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Inside the ice, a trace of despair still hung on his face, vivid and lifelike.

"You have committed an unforgivable sin, so how can you talk to me about the future?"

"Shouren, you are foolish."

Wang Jianqiang looked coldly at Niu Shouren inside the ice sculpture and kicked the sculpture over.

The ice sculpture, along with Niu Shouren frozen within it, shattered into dozens of pieces.

After killing Niu Shouren, Wang Jianqiang turned around and looked at Chen Jiaojiao.

From beginning to end, Chen Jiaojiao had just stood blankly on the spot.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, she finally snapped out of her daze.

"Why didn't you run?" Wang Jianqiang said coldly.

Hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao gave a miserable smile, "If you don't want me to live, even if I run, I cannot escape."

Wang Jianqiang stared at her for a moment, then raised his hand and waved.

Bang~

An invisible force struck Chen Jiaojiao.

Chen Jiaojiao let out a muffled groan, spat out blood, flew backward for dozens of yards, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her aura weakened to the extreme in an instant.

After that, Wang Jianqiang did not continue to attack.

"Take care of yourself."

He glanced at Chen Jiaojiao indifferently and turned to leave.

Although Chen Jiaojiao had greed, she had no intent to kill.

The death penalty could be avoided, but the living penalty was inescapable.

After this strike, if she could live, their grievances would be settled; if she died, it would be the end of it.

Behind him.

Chen Jiaojiao watched that departing back.

There was no anger on her face, nor any resentment toward Wang Jianqiang.

All that remained was endless regret.

But just as Wang Jianqiang said.

Everyone must be responsible for the things they do wrong.

Since she had already taken this step, she and Wang Jianqiang could never return to the way they were before.

……

Above the endless snow-covered ground.

A disheveled figure was fleeing in a panic.

Behind them, six figures were pursuing with murderous intent.

"Wang Yu Yao, hand over the Magic Tool; such a Magic Tool is not something you can possess!"

Wang Yu Yao acted as if she had not heard the threats from behind, gritting her teeth as she flew forward at high speed.

However, among the pursuers behind, one person was clearly much stronger than her and was rapidly closing in.

Half an incense stick later.

That person was already less than thirty zhang away from Wang Yu Yao.

She pointed a finger out.

A bird cry erupted in the sky.

A lifelike Ice Bird instantly condensed and formed, crossing dozens of zhang in the blink of an eye to appear behind Wang Yu Yao.
