305: What is going on?

“Boom!”

Blue Qi flames erupted from Tang Chuan’s body, and surging Qi waves burst out from him like a tide.

Taking a step forward, Tang Chuan, whose eyes glowed with blue fire, slammed his right hand down. Streams of blue Qi flames gathered and intertwined, forming a giant, translucent, indestructible blue Dragon Claw.

Under the blessing of his Martial Dao Pressure.

This claw tore through the air, making a ‘creaking’ sound as it shattered like glass under the strain. The ground below cracked and fractured, with fissures spreading out.

A pure eighth-rank Martial Artist, who had honed his physique and utilized one of the five top martial arts schools’ signature martial arts, indeed possessed good combat strength.

It was just a pity… “Bang!”

A dark figure suddenly appeared, unleashing a fully charged punch that instantly shattered the blue Dragon Claw.

In Tang Chuan’s wide, disbelieving eyes.

The Martial God Clone summoned by Jiang Yuan struck down with another finger.

【Town Prison Finger. Thunder Kill】

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!”

The giant finger phantom, wreathed in massive amounts of lightning and woven from rich, crimson Qi and Blood, was as large as half a tower. It carried a torrent of gravity that seemed to suppress the world, and under Tang Chuan’s horrified and terrified gaze, it directly crushed him to the ground with an irresistible, colossal might.

A giant, charred hole, dozens of meters deep, was punched into the ground, with residual electrical arcs still sizzling.

Luo Ningyan was not surprised by this outcome. She looked at the cloaked Martial God Clone with some curiosity.

“This is…?”

“My Clone,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

“A Clone?!” Luo Ningyan was astonished.

A Clone could so easily defeat a pure eighth-rank Martial Artist?!

What about the main body then?

Luo Ningyan couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Yuan.

How strong was he… now?

Whoosh!

A figure flew out from the giant hole.

Tang Chuan, his suit tattered, his body covered in charred wounds, gasped for air, his eyes filled with extreme dread as he stared intently at Jiang Yuan and the Martial God Clone in front of him.

“You pretty boy, you are…!!”

He hadn’t finished speaking.

A golden light flashed in Jiang Yuan’s eyes.

“Boom!”

An indescribably terrifying pressure descended from the sky onto Tang Chuan, directly pressing him to the ground.

“Watch your tone. You’re being a bit too presumptuous,” the young man’s calm voice rang out, yet it was filled with the authority of a superior, high above all others.

Even as Tang Chuan struggled with all his might to raise his head, he saw a pair of golden eyes calmly and indifferently looking down at him.

Tang Chuan’s heart trembled, his liver and guts split, his mind almost crashed, and an indescribable fear swept through his entire body.

That kind of disdainful authority, that oppressive feeling of suppressing the four seas, Tang Chuan had only ever seen on a Quasi-King, a figure even his master had to treat with reverence.

This pretty boy was actually a top-tier expert comparable to a Quasi-King?!

Before Jiang Yuan could do anything else.

His Martial Dao will collapsed, and he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.

“This way, he shouldn’t dare to bother you anymore,” Jiang Yuan said, looking at Luo Ningyan.

Luo Ningyan nodded blankly.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Yuan said.

Luo Ningyan snapped out of it and blurted out, “Where to?”

“Your home, didn’t you say you wanted to go up and see the cat?” Jiang Yuan said earnestly.

Luo Ningyan then realized she was still tightly holding his arm, and her pretty face immediately flushed red, her heart racing.

The power of that strike was too strong, causing tremors in the surrounding area. Many people chose to call the police, but by the time the Patrol Division on night patrol arrived, Luo Ningyan and Jiang Yuan had already left… Inside the Advanced Tower Apartment, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor.

“You really have changed a lot, you’ve gotten so fat now,” Jiang Yuan said, holding the extremely plump and round calico cat, teasing it with a smile. It felt incredibly good to the touch.

“Meow~” The calico cat comfortably narrowed its eyes, allowing him to stroke it.

“It seems to remember you. It usually doesn’t act like this when it sees strangers,” Luo Ningyan said, walking down the white jade staircase.

She had changed into a black and white spliced, asymmetrical one-shoulder dress, elegant and dignified. Her sculpted, fair shoulders were like jade, as alluring as a peeled egg, almost transparently delicate. Her slender waist was cinched, perfectly held in one hand, and her body lines were exquisite. Her long, slender white legs emerged from the hem of the dress, with graceful curves on her calves and delicate ankles, making it impossible to look away.

“Meow~” The calico cat jumped from Jiang Yuan’s arms and rubbed against her feet.

“My little darling, so good~ Mama will give you a kiss,” Luo Ningyan said, bending down to pick it up affectionately.

Her soft purple hair fell over her forehead, and as she bent down, the snowy cleavage and perfect curves she revealed made Jiang Yuan lose his focus for a moment.

“You’ve raised it very well,” Jiang Yuan said.

“Really? This is my first time having a pet,” Luo Ningyan said with a smile, “It’s brought me a lot of comfort, accompanying me when Xiao Xi isn’t here, keeping me from getting bored.”

“Are you going to take it back?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “Let’s leave it with you for now. I don’t have the leisure, and… it would be very dangerous by my side.”

Luo Ningyan was surprised, “With your current status and strength, in the Emperor Capital, who could harm you?”

She suddenly thought of something and asked, “That Shirakawa, was it really you?”

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Luo Ningyan sighed, “As I guessed, you, fellow, must have done something incredible in the Japan… Then you do need to be careful. The reward for a 5S wanted criminal is enough to tempt some terrifyingly strong individuals, making them willing to take huge risks to break the order of the Emperor Capital.”

“Some guys might have already arrived.”

Hearing this, Luo Ningyan’s heart tightened, “Then you…?”

“I can’t wait for them to show up,” Jiang Yuan said, turning his head with a smile.

“And then blow them all up.”

Looking at the young man’s domineering words and confident, handsome face, Luo Ningyan was momentarily lost in thought.

Yes.

He had already grown to a level she had to look up to.

“The night view of the Emperor Capital is more beautiful than I imagined,” Jiang Yuan said, gazing out the glass window.

Outside was a bustling night scene of neon lights flashing and towering skyscrapers.

Further away was a lake called Jingyue Lake, its waters extremely clear, reflecting the starry river when all was quiet and the City lights were dim.

“Yes, it’s very beautiful,” Luo Ningyan said, walking over.

“It’s just that this peace and order won’t last forever,” Jiang Yuan said calmly.

“Yes, unless the Abyss is pacified, there will never be true peace. The current stability is just a mirage, ready to be shattered at any time,” Luo Ningyan sighed.

She recalled the events in South River City back then; just one Abyss Monarch had caused a desperate situation for millions of people. No one could say how many Abyss Monarchs there were in the unfathomable Abyss.

“Is there really hope of pacifying the Abyss and ending the conflicts?” Luo Ningyan murmured.

“Conflicts will never end, because human nature is never satisfied. As for the chaos in the Abyss, it will certainly be pacified,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile, “Just give me a few more years.”

Luo Ningyan, holding the cat, stared blankly at his tall, spear-like, majestic back, which exuded an invincible aura. In her enchanting purple eyes, which seemed to hold shimmering autumn waters, only one person was reflected at this moment.

It was as if she could already see him stepping on the bones of countless powerful enemies, ascending the throne in blood and fire.

If only she were twenty years younger… Luo Ningyan sighed, feeling a strange envy for her daughter.

After all, she was getting on in years and was a widow, which was really… “Pah, what am I thinking?” Luo Ningyan felt deeply ashamed.

Buzz—

Around Luo Ningyan’s neck, a pink glow emanated from a crystal pendant, gradually merging into Luo Ningyan’s body.

“Meow~” The calico cat suddenly jumped away.

Jiang Yuan also noticed the anomaly and turned to look.

Luo Ningyan’s face was flushed, her arms crossed, her legs pressed together, exuding an indescribable allure.

“The pendant Xiao Xi gave me, this is…?”

Jiang Yuan activated his All-Seeing Eye.

【Contaminated Moon Pendant】: Gold-grade accessory, capable of stabilizing the Mental Energy and emitting moonlight that nourishes the skin. Unfortunately, it was contaminated by a wisp of a breeding mother beast’s aura. Once triggered, it will cause the wearer to fall into… Jiang Yuan hadn’t finished reading.

Luo Ningyan stepped forward and embraced him, tilting her head up.

Mmm, cherry flavor… At the same time.

Inside Shenwu Academy.

Luo Xi once again came to Jiang Yuan’s small courtyard, and while bickering with Guan Xiaoxiao, an unusually strong emotion inexplicably surged in her heart.

This feeling was not the first time; it was a Soul entanglement between mother and daughter, a Bloodline connection, and a high degree of Mental Energy proximity. Both occasionally felt each other’s emotional fluctuations, joys, angers, sorrows, and delights.

At this moment, Luo Xi realized this.

And what surprised her even more was.

The emotion coming from Luo Ningyan this time was an unprecedented joy and delight, mixed with a feeling that was hard to describe.

Luo Xi was greatly puzzled.

“What on earth is going on?”
