293: It will allow you to break through to the Heavenly Realm directly!

"You!!!"

Seeing Wang Xuerou being hit, Gongsun Long struggled to get up, his eyes splitting with rage.

"Ye Chen! You can hurt me!"

"But you are not allowed to touch her!!!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen turned his gaze back to Gongsun Long.

"Rest assured."

"I will not only hurt you, but I will also hurt her."

"So that you two can meet properly down below."

As he finished speaking,

Ye Chen raised his right foot.

And stomped down on Gongsun Long's head.

"No!!!"

Wang Xuerou let out a heart-wrenching scream, scrambling towards him.

However, it was too late.

Ye Chen's foot, like a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press, slammed onto the top of Gongsun Long's head!

Crack!

His skull shattered!

The sturdy alloy deck instantly buckled, tore, and was pierced through under the impact of Gongsun Long's head!

Gongsun Long couldn't even let out a final scream.

His head was crushed through the deck by Ye Chen's stomp!

Blood gushed out from the edges of the hole in the deck, quickly staining a large area red.

Black Prison Hall Master, Gongsun Long...

Just like that, he died!

Silence.

Deathly silence.

All the Black Prison members on the deck stood frozen in place, as if their souls had been sucked away, all color drained from their faces.

The Hall Master is dead?

His head was crushed with a single stomp!

"Ah!!!"

Watching this scene unfold, Wang Xuerou let out a shrill howl, suddenly scrambled up from the ground, and grabbed a short blade from the deck!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

She gripped the hilt with both hands and frantically stabbed towards Ye Chen's back!

This strike carried all her strength and hatred!

The blade sliced through the air with the determination to die together!

But...

Ye Chen didn't indulge her.

He caught the incoming blade.

The tip of the blade was less than an inch from him, but it could no longer move forward even a fraction.

Wang Xuerou gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, pushing forward with all her might, but the blade remained motionless, as if welded into steel.

She looked up and met Ye Chen's indifferent eyes.

"Commendable courage."

Ye Chen commented calmly.

Then.

His fingers, gripping the blade, gave a slight twist and turn.

"Sshh—!"

The short blade twisted uncontrollably, the tip turning around, and in Wang Xuerou's horrified eyes...

It sliced across her neck.

Wang Xuerou instinctively let go of the knife and clutched her wound, but blood surged out from between her fingers like a fountain!

It was all in vain.

She collapsed beside Gongsun Long's corpse, completely losing her life.

However.

Ye Chen didn't even glance at her; instead, he scanned the surroundings and asked.

"Is there anyone else... who wants to fight?"

No one dared to respond.

There was dead silence.

Everyone's eyes were filled with terror.

Even the Prison Master of the Black Prison was dead, how could they possibly resist???

Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Chen continued.

"I'll give you two choices."

"Either die."

"Or submit."

He paused, his tone flat but oppressive, "You have only three breaths of time."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The air on the entire ferry deck seemed to freeze.

The expressions of all the Black Prison Elites changed drastically.

Fear! Struggle! Unwillingness!

In the end, under the gaze of Ye Chen's indifferent eyes, it turned into despair.

On the first breath, someone's weapon fell to the ground.

On the second breath, someone's legs went weak, and their knees hit the deck hard.

On the third breath...

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"

Like dominoes being pushed over, the Black Prison members, one after another, all knelt down and bowed their heads deeply.

Without exception!

They didn't want to die.

No one was like Wang Xuerou, willing to die for the Prison Master...

There was no surprise on Ye Chen's face. Instead, he turned his gaze to Jessica, who was still dazed on the side, and asked casually: "Are you interested in taking over the Black Prison?"

Jessica suddenly snapped back to reality, then became confused: "What? You... you want me to take over the Black Prison?"

She suspected she had misheard.

The Black Prison was a dark organization that had been entrenched overseas for many years with deep-rooted power!

Even if the Hall Master was dead and the elites had suffered heavy losses, its remaining massive assets! Intelligence networks! Strongholds in various places...

It was still a piece of fat meat that made people jealous, and even more so, a hot potato!

Ye Chen nodded.

"To be precise, it's to take complete control, clean it up, and then manage it well."

Jessica smiled bitterly: "I would like to, but the problem is that I'm only at the Peak Earth Realm. Trying to manage the Black Prison is unlikely."

Indeed.

There were many experts within the Black Prison. As a woman who was parachuted in, without reaching the Celestial Master Realm, she simply couldn't control them.

Ye Chen replied calmly.

"Then what if I let you step into the Celestial Master Realm?"

Jessica felt as if she had been struck by lightning: "You... you can let me step into the Celestial Master Realm?!"

The Celestial Master Realm!

That was a realm that countless martial artists dreamed of but could never reach in their entire lives!

She had been stuck at the Peak Earth Realm for many years and knew how solid that barrier was; without a massive opportunity, it was impossible to break through!

Otherwise.

She wouldn't have pinned her hopes of revenge on Ye Chen!

But now Ye Chen was actually saying he could let her step into the Celestial Master Realm?

Shock!

Too shocking!

Ye Chen smiled slightly and nodded.

"Since I said it, I am certain, otherwise I wouldn't have said it."

"So... will you manage it?"

Jessica's heart was in turmoil, and her charming face rarely lost its composure, leaving only struggle.

This temptation was simply too great!

So great that it was enough to make her suppress all her concerns and gamble on an unprecedented future!

Moreover.

This young man in front of her was the most unfathomable monster she had ever seen in her life!

Following him, she could truly embark on a completely different path!

A few seconds later.

Jessica took a deep breath, knelt on one knee before Ye Chen, and lowered her head.

"I, Jessica, codenamed 'Blood Rose', am willing to serve you and take over the Black Prison!"

"I will not fail your trust!"

Ye Chen's gaze then turned to the Black Prison members: "Do you have any objections to my proposal just now?"

Objections?

The group of Black Prison Elites inwardly complained.

The Hall Master's body was not yet cold, and the wife had bled on the spot.

The god of slaughter before them had punched the Celestial Master Realm Hall Master to death and crushed through the alloy deck with one stomp...

Did they dare to have any objections?!

Those who had objections were now lying on the ground, cold!

"We dare not! We have absolutely no objections!"

"We are willing to obey Mr. Ye's orders! We pledge allegiance to Lady Blood Rose!"

"From now on, all of Black Prison will follow Mr. Ye and Lady Blood Rose's lead!"

...

A chorus of fearful responses immediately rang out on the deck, and some even shouted extra loudly to show their loyalty, fearing that being a second late would lead to being treated as "having objections."

Seeing this, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

That's more like it.

Those who know the times are wise.

He looked at Jessica, who was still kneeling on one knee, and said calmly: "Since there's no problem, let's start now."

"Now?"

Jessica's beautiful eyes were full of astonishment, "Right here? Don't we need... to make some preparations?"

How important is it to advance to the Celestial Master Realm?

In her imagination, it would at least require a quiet room, pills, and protection.

Yet... she had to break through on this ferry deck that had just experienced a bloody battle?

Isn't this too reckless?

"No need."

Ye Chen answered concisely, "However, I need your disciple to cooperate."

"I cooperate?"

Night Owl, who was on the side, pointed at her own nose, looking bewildered.

No... she was only at the Xuan Realm level, what help could she be to her master?

Ye Chen didn't explain, but just held up three fingers and started counting down.

"Three."

Night Owl was even more confused.

"Two."

She instinctively looked at her master, Jessica, who was also confused.

"One."

Night Owl was just about to ask, when unexpectedly, an indescribable torrent of burning heat, like a long-suppressed volcano, suddenly erupted from the depths of Night Owl's energy center, instantly sweeping through her entire body!

It wasn't pain.

It was a violent force originating from the depths of her soul, mixed with desire! Heat! And some kind of unspeakable, primal impulse!

Night Owl's beautiful face instantly turned flushed, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her eyes, shimmering with moisture, lost their focus.

"Ye Chen... give it to me!"

She let out an incoherent moan from her throat.

In the next instant.

Like a moth to a flame, she lunged at Ye Chen, who was close at hand, with an astonishing momentum!

The speed was so fast that it even created afterimages!

Everyone on the deck was stunned, not knowing why this cold and beautiful female killer had suddenly become like this.

Jessica's expression changed drastically: "Night Owl! What are you doing?!"

However.

Night Owl didn't hear her.

In her eyes, there was only Ye Chen's figure, as if that was the only anchor that could extinguish the flames within her body.

Seeing this, Ye Chen frowned.

As expected.

The power of the Celestial Master Realm he had just used was already considered an overload.

For the current Night Owl, she simply couldn't handle it.

Therefore.

Someone must share it!

Ye Chen's figure swayed slightly, sliding half a step to the side and back like a ghost, avoiding her lunge.

At the same time.

His right index finger shot out like lightning, lightly tapping on a major acupoint on Night Owl's shoulder and neck.

Night Owl's lunging body suddenly froze, as if hit by a immobilization spell, remaining in the posture of lunging forward, solidified on the deck.

Only her hazy eyes could still move, filled with desire.

Ye Chen withdrew his finger and explained to the dumbfounded Jessica on the side.

"A force has appeared in her body. If it is not channeled, not only will her brain be burned, but her meridians and energy center will also be burst by this violent energy."

"Now, channel your true qi into her body, follow the Ren and Du meridians, find that energy, extract it, and channel it into your own body."

"Remember, be fast, be steady, and don't have the slightest hesitation."
