The group proceeded.
Under Huang Qingtian's lead, they walked toward the Continental Lord's Manor.
Entering the manor, Jiang Zhi sighed deeply at the sight of the familiar buildings.
When she was imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, she thought she would never return.
But now...
Not only could she return, but she didn't even need to lift a finger. Because of the Dark Shadow Island incident, Huang Qingtian had automatically helped clear her path.
Times had truly changed!
Such achievements were beyond her wildest dreams before.
In the square ahead.
Zeng Rentu was covered in blood, his limbs hanging low, tightly bound by large iron chains inscribed with runes.
"Lord Jiang Zhi, here's the chief culprit, the mastermind behind everything," Huang Qingtian said with a grin as he led the way.
Jiang Zhi nodded and slowly walked toward Zeng Rentu.
Sensing Jiang Zhi's approach, Zeng Rentu raised his head.
There was no fear in his expression as one might expect.
Nor was there any unwillingness to accept defeat.
Instead, he licked his lips and looked at Jiang Zhi with an eerie smile.
"Jiang Zhi, we meet again."
He said with upturned lips.
Jiang Zhi's face remained expressionless as she waved her hand, materializing a dagger.
Without another word, she stabbed it into Zeng Rentu's shoulder.
"This stab is for Zeng Yun," she said coldly.
"Hahaha..."
Instead of screaming in pain, Zeng Rentu laughed coldly: "You're really eager for revenge, but is that all the strength you've got?"
"Come on, put more force into it!"
He roared.
With an icy expression, Jiang Zhi stabbed him again with the dagger.
"This stab."
"Is for Zhang Xin."
She continued stabbing him repeatedly.
Each stab was for someone who had died tragically at Zeng Rentu's hands.
She counted each name.
Stabbing again and again.
The smell of blood.
Permeated the scene.
The others stood watching from around them.
However, Li Hongtian and Huang Qingtian were distracted.
While Jiang Zhi's matter likely wouldn't involve them anymore, they were still curious about the situation with the two Immortal cultivators nearby.
"Old Lu, do you have an ear pick?"
Wu Yonghong asked Lu Qingshan while digging at his ear.
"Oh, yes."
Lu Qingshan reached into his storage ring and pulled out an ear pick, handing it to Wu Yonghong.
"Thanks."
Wu Yonghong squatted down and started cleaning his ears.
Lu Qingshan idly fiddled with his fingernails.
???
Huang Qingtian and Li Hongtian, who had been closely observing the two, were dumbfounded.
Were these really the two supreme experts?
They seemed far too undignified.
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, Zeng Rentu, covered in knife wounds and streaming with blood, burst into laughter, "Jiang Zhi, no matter how many times you stab me, you can't kill me."
"Hahaha..."
Jiang Zhi's face turned ashen at Zeng Rentu's condition.
In this short while, she had stabbed him over a hundred times, with recent strikes all targeting vital points, yet Zeng Rentu showed no signs of dying.
This was too bizarre.
Involuntarily, she channeled her full power at the True Essence Immortal Realm, launching a palm strike infused with thick immortal essence.
Space rippled and fluctuated.
The powerful palm strike landed squarely on Zeng Rentu's chest.
"Pfft!"
Zeng Rentu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
Yet he still showed no signs of dying, instead raising his lips in a cold smile and saying, "How surprising, Jiang Zhi, you've reached the True Essence Immortal Realm. I'm quite curious about what you've experienced during this time?"
"Not only did your cultivation increase so much, but even my old friend here has turned to help you?"
"However."
"No matter what opportunities you've gained, you still won't be able to kill me."
"Hahaha..."
His wild laughter echoed throughout the scene.
This immediately made Jiang Zhi sense something unusual.
Given Zeng Rentu's current state, forget about the hundred previous stabs, he shouldn't have survived her full-power strike just now.
Without hesitation.
She launched another full-force palm strike at his vital points.
But Zeng Rentu still showed no signs of dying.
Instead, a terrifying aura burst from his body, his skin began turning red, and his power seemed to be rapidly increasing.
"This..."
"What's going on?"
Seeing this, everyone present revealed shocked expressions and unconsciously stepped backward.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
reezy rom-com) Good news: Jiang Liu is quite the ladies' man. Bad news: He’s lost his memory. Lying in a hospital bed, Jiang Liu listens to a parade of goddesses spouting "absurd claims," feeling like the world is one giant game of Werewolf. "Jiang Liu, I’m your first love." "Jiang Liu, you’re my boyfriend—she’s your ex." "Jiang Liu, we’re close friends who’ve shared a bed, remember?" "Jiang Liu, I want to have your baby." The now-lucid Jiang Liu is convinced this must be some elaborate scam... until someone drops the bombshell: "The day before you lost your memory, you confessed your feelings—and got into a relationship." Jiang Liu is utterly baffled. So... who the hell is his actual girlfriend?! ... Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes. But things spiral even further out of control as more people show up at his doorstep—each with increasingly unhinged antics. On the bright side, the memories he lost due to overwhelming trauma seem to be resurfacing. Great news, right? So why are they all panicking now?
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
