Chapter 80: Jiangnan Strikes

The dust settles,

The person standing in backlight, upright as a pine, radiates an unseen aura, exuding intense pressure.

Yin Teng's pupils suddenly contract, and a strong unease wells up inside.

That aura, familiar yet terrifying, seemed to come from the abyss of hell, sending a chill down one's spine.

You... you actually brought him here!?

Yin Teng's voice trembles, and his body involuntarily steps back.

Jiangnan slowly steps into the basement, his eyes scanning the surroundings before settling on Yin Teng.

His gaze is icy, like a sharp blade, piercing Yin Teng's heart.

You think I couldn't find you?

His voice is low, each word like a heavy hammer, smashing into Yin Teng's heart.

Yin Teng's face turns deathly pale, fine beads of sweat seep from his forehead.

He forces calm, his voice sharp.

Hmph, shameless boasting! This place is swarming with our Black Shadow men; we won't tolerate your arrogance.

Before the words finish, Yin Teng suddenly waves his hand.

Attack! Kill him!

Behind Yin Teng, dozens of Black Shadow members surge from the darkness, each with a ferocious face, wielding various weapons, lunging at Jiangnan.

These are all Black Shadow Organization Elite, each exceptionally skilled, brimming with killing intent.

A hint of contempt flashes in Jiangnan's eyes.

His body trembles slightly, an invisible wave of aura centered on him spreading outward.

This is True Qi Release!

Where the wave passes, the Black Shadow members seem struck by an unseen force, their bodies instantly stiffening.

Immediately after, each spits blood and is flung backward.

Bang bang bang!

Dull thudding sounds keep echoing as the Black Shadow members crash heavily to the ground, wailing in pain.

Some collapse dead, others struggle to rise, only to find their bodies no longer obey them.

In an instant, dozens of Black Shadow Elite all fall, unable to get up, losing all combat ability.

The scene is utterly shocking!

Yin Teng is terrified, his body trembling violently.

He never imagined, even in a dream, that Jiangnan could be so powerful, crushing all subordinates with just a single aura.

You... what realm are you truly in!?

Yin Teng's voice is filled with fear, no longer the arrogant blaze it once had.

Jiangnan gives no answer, and walks slowly toward Yin Teng.

Each step feels like stepping on Yin Teng's heart, suffocating him.

Lord Wuse, save me!

Yin Teng finally breaks down, screaming for Lord Wuse's rescue.

Lord Wuse stands by the formation, watching coldly.

Seeing Jiangnan display such power, a trace of seriousness appears on his face.

However, he does not intervene to save.

Instead, he continues to drive the formation, his eyes flashing with a mad light.

Useless!

Lord Wuse coldly curses, his voice full of contempt.

In his view, Yin Teng has lost any usefulness.

Jiangnan steps before Yin Teng, looking down from a height, his gaze full of contempt.

You, are too weak.

His voice is calm, yet like a sharp sword, piercing Yin Teng's last dignity.

Yin Teng collapses, completely losing the will to resist.

Jiangnan no longer pays attention to Yin Teng, his gaze turning to Lord Wuse.

You are this guy's leader?

His voice carries a hint of amusement, while his eyes flash with a sharp light.

Lord Wuse finally turns, facing Jiangnan.

That's right, I am Wuse.

His voice is chilling, each word bearing a powerful oppressive aura.

You are strong, to have made it here.

Lord Wuse sizes up Jiangnan, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

However, you are destined to die here today.

He lets out a cold laugh, as if everything is under his control.

Oh? Is that so?

Jiangnan's mouth corners lift slightly, revealing a hint of disdainful smile. His gaze is full of provocation, showing no regard for Lord Wuse,

You think you can kill me? Dream on!

Jiangnan, you are truly arrogant!

A flash of anger flickered in Wuse's eyes; as a Black Shadow High Official, when has he ever been looked down upon like this?

"Do you think that with a few petty tricks you can contend with me?"

He sneered, and a swirl of black mist suddenly surged around his body.

The mist roiled, exuding a chilling, evil aura that sent shivers down the spine.

"Today, I'll show you what real power truly is!"

Wuse's voice was icy, each word squeezing out as if from between his teeth.

Before the words finished, Wuse's form flashed, turning into a black bolt that lunged toward Jiangnan.

The speed was jaw‑dropping!

Jiangnan's gaze hardened, his body tilted slightly, narrowly evading Wuse's attack.

"Boom!"

Wuse threw a punch at empty air; the fist wind struck the wall with a deafening blast.

The sturdy wall was blasted open with a huge hole, shards of stone spraying everywhere.

A flash of surprise crossed Jiangnan's eyes; Wuse's strength truly was not to be underestimated.

"Interesting."

He lifted the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of an excited smile.

Come to think of it, this was his first time meeting such a formidable opponent.

"Hmph, I only used three‑tenths of my strength."

Wuse snorted coldly and launched another attack.

His form flickered, faster still, and his assault grew fiercer.

For a moment, the basement was filled with Black Shadow flickering, fist winds howling, and surging air currents!

The two fought with extreme ferocity; their silhouettes moved so fast the naked eye could barely catch them, only trails of after‑images crossing in the air.

"Bang bang bang!"

Dull thuds kept reverberating; each collision unleashed a massive shockwave that shattered everything nearby.

The basement was a wreck, walls riddled with cracks, the floor littered with broken stone and dust.

Yin Teng curled up in a corner, trembling, fear filling his eyes.

He never could have dreamed that he would be drawn into such a terrifying battle.

Both Jiangnan and Wuse were beyond his reach; either could easily crush him.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged blows for hundreds of moves.

But whether it was Jiangnan or Wuse, for a moment neither could gain the upper hand.

The more Wuse fought, the more his nerves rattled; he realized Jiangnan's power was far stronger than he had imagined.

No matter how he attacked, Jiangnan easily deflected it, and Jiangnan's gaze remained as calm as water, as if everything were under his control.

"What on earth is this kid's background?"

Wuse's mind filled with doubt; he had never seen such a powerful young man.

Jiangnan's eyes flashed with excitement; it had been a long time since he fought so exhilaratingly.

Wuse's strength sparked his fighting spirit, making his internal true Qi flow more smoothly.

"Warm‑up's over."

Jiangnan suddenly spoke, his voice calm yet radiating great confidence.

Wuse was startled; he sensed an ominous premonition.

"Next, I'll let you see my true power!"

Jiangnan's gaze hardened, his hands forming seals as he muttered incantations.

Immediately, a powerful aura burst from him, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.

"This is..."

Wuse's complexion changed drastically; he felt an unprecedented pressure.
