"Run? If I let you run, then I might as well quit!"

Jiang Chen let out a cold smile.

"Bloody battle across the world!"

Roar!

A dragon roar sounded, and the White Divine Dragon flew out from Jiang Chen's longsword, surrounded by eight Blood-colored Lotuses.

Whoosh!

With a flick of its tail, the eight Blood-colored Lotuses shot out swiftly, rapidly chasing after the eight people.

"Stop!"

A loud shout came from afar.

Buzz!

A scorching Great Dao pressure pressed down on Jiang Chen's head.

"Senior Zhang, help!"

"Is Senior Zhang here?"

"Senior Zhang, quickly kill that kid!"

The figures of the four Family Heads paused, surprised and pleased as they looked towards the sky.

Bang bang bang!

As soon as they stopped, the Blood-colored Lotuses suddenly collided with them, instantly blasting the four into a mist of blood.

Bang bang bang bang!

Four more explosions sounded, and Pang Chong and the others were also caught by the Blood-colored Lotuses, blasted into a mist of blood scattering all over the ground.

"The Four Great Families... are finished?!"

The surrounding cultivators were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the drifting blood mist.

Jiang Chen, however, looked up at the western sky, where a figure swiftly flew over everyone's heads.

"It's that senior at the Divine Infant Realm!"

"Is it him? It's over, this young brother is doomed!"

"Isn't this young brother also at the Divine Infant Realm?"

"Yeah! He is also in the Divine Infant Realm!"

The cultivators murmured among themselves upon seeing the figure in the air.

"Young one, you have the guts to defy my orders!"

The figure in mid-air looked coldly at Jiang Chen, speaking in a deep voice.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Great Dao pressure intensified, pressing heavily on Jiang Chen.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Chen looked calmly at the figure in the air.

"This old man is Zhang Chenggang, temporarily serving as the City Lord of Molten Fire Town. You have harmed innocents under my jurisdiction, are you aware of your crime?"

The figure in mid-air shouted loudly.

"City Lord?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He had heard from Lin Yuyan that the Canglan Continent was ruled by the Canglan Great Emperor. The city lords and town lords of various places were considered part of the Great Emperor's factions, which was somewhat troublesome.

"No! He's not!"

A voice rang out, Lin Yuyan loudly reminded, "Young Master Jiang, he is not the City Lord. The City Lord was killed by the Four Great Families three years ago. He is just occupying the nest and is not the Great Emperor's appointed City Lord!"

"Noisy!"

Zhang Chenggang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he launched a palm strike through the air.

Buzz!

A fiery red Palm Imprint appeared in the air, rapidly striking towards Lin Yuyan.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he swung his longsword through the void.

Roar!

The White Divine Dragon, which had remained motionless, flicked its tail, rushing towards the fiery red Palm Imprint.

Boom!

A rumbling sound echoed as the Divine Dragon and the Palm Imprint exploded simultaneously, turning into white and red brilliance that slowly dissipated.

"You dare to fight me?"

Zhang Chenggang's face darkened, coldly staring at Jiang Chen. "Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, kneel and swear a Heavenly Dao Blood Oath to submit, and I can spare your life!"

"Spare my life?"

Jiang Chen let out a cold smile. "Do you have the qualifications?"

"Young one, you're courting death!"

Zhang Chenggang spoke coldly, a chilly gleam flashing in his eyes. "Torrential Flame Sea!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Flames appeared around Jiang Chen out of thin air, and in an instant, a range of ten meters around Jiang Chen was entirely engulfed by flames.

"Young Master Jiang!"

Lin Yuyan screamed, stepping towards Jiang Chen, but after a couple of steps, she was forced back by the Great Dao pressure around Jiang Chen, unable to get close.

"It's over! This is a Great Dao Attack!"

"That young brother may have unleashed the Great Dao pressure, but he never used a Great Dao Attack!"

"Maybe he doesn't know how?!"

"He's doomed! To be directly hit by a Great Dao Attack, he's doomed!"

The nearby cultivators exclaimed in shock, their eyes showing sympathy.

Jiang Chen had slaughtered all the Unification Realm experts of the Four Great Families, effectively exterminating them, which filled the cultivators of Molten Fire Town with gratitude. They had long endured the four families' oppression without enough strength to fight back, and now they finally had hope!

But now, Jiang Chen perished in the flames, provoking gasps from the crowd!

"Huh! Young one, you might fool others but you can't fool me! Just a Semi Divine Infant, yet pretending to be a Divine Infant here, truly courting death!"

Zhang Chenggang slowly descended to the ground, admiringly gazing at the ten-meter-wide Sea of Flames. "The power of Earth Fire is truly effective! Once I fully integrate this Earth Fire into my Great Dao Attack, its power will reach a new peak."

"Not a Divine Infant?!"

"Young Master Jiang, he's not a Divine Infant?!"

"How is this possible? That Great Dao pressure was real, wasn't it?"

"But that senior said..."

The surrounding cultivators were surprised as they looked at Zhang Chenggang.

Lin Yuyan's eyes were filled with sorrow. Jiang Chen avenged her, and even though she had saved Jiang Chen's life first, her heart was filled with gratitude, but now... he was going to die here.

To her, it seemed like she was responsible for Jiang Chen's death!

"Young Master Jiang, I caused your death! I'll go with you!"

Lin Yuyan shouted, and in a flash, she rushed towards the Sea of Flames.

Buzz!

A gentle force stopped Lin Yuyan, a light laugh echoing, "Miss Lin, who are you planning to die with? I'm not done living yet, so please don't jinx me!"

"What?"

"Not dead?!"

"Young Master Jiang isn't dead!"

"It's him! It's his voice!"

The cultivators looked towards the Sea of Flames with joy and surprise.

Lin Yuyan's eyes widened, staring intently at the sea of flames.

"Impossible! You're just a mere Semi Divine Infant, how could you withstand my Great Dao Attack?"

Zhang Chenggang exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed, I am a Semi Divine Infant, but who says a Semi Divine Infant cannot withstand a Great Dao Attack?"

A figure slowly walked out of the Sea of Flames—it was Jiang Chen.

"I was hoping to gain some insight from your attack, but it turned out to be a Great Dao Attack mixed with impurities, not pure at all. While infusing other fire energies might temporarily enhance attack power, it's a minor path, unworthy of my comprehension."

Jiang Chen walked out of the flames, full of ridicule as he looked at Zhang Chenggang.

After regaining his strength, he had clarified his condition—the Second Soul hadn't disappeared but had merged with the Divine Soul in his Sea of Consciousness.

This reminded him of the Ancestral Dragon's shadow on the Spatial Battlefield, which surely assisted in merging his Divine Soul, entering the Semi Divine Infant Realm.

Recognizing this, Jiang Chen was no longer anxious about the disappearance of the Martial Soul. Since Lord Ancestral Dragon helped him merge the Second Soul, the Martial Soul's disappearance must also be related to Lord Ancestral Dragon; Lord Ancestral Dragon wouldn't harm him.

He still hadn't considered that the Martial Soul could have intervened, which seemed too astonishing!
