The dozen or so Realm Master's personal guards were all Emperor Realm Second Layer, completely cutting off her retreat.

Immediately after, hundreds more followed behind them.

Chao Guang saw this and was overjoyed.

The other pursuers from the Chao Family had arrived.

Brother Cheng leisurely watched the show by the side, and Chao Guang, for some reason, suddenly pointed in his direction.

"That's the Demoness's accomplice!"

"This person is quite powerful, don't let him escape!"

"Elder Luan, please capture that scoundrel as well!"

Luan Long wasn't a subordinate of Chao Guang, but since the Chao Family and Realm Master Tu Xing were in-laws, he, as the Realm Master's subordinate, couldn't refuse to help.

Upon hearing this, he quickly moved to block the front.

"Haha, let's see how you handle this!"

Behind, Chao Guang was overjoyed.

He even abandoned Gong Qing, his number one enemy.

Specifically, he brought a large group of Chao Family members to encircle Brother Cheng once again. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Weren't you arrogant just now?"

This time, he felt no fear or apprehension.

With Luan Long by his side, he felt completely secure.

"Why don't you show your arrogance again?"

A fierce and malicious look surfaced in the boy's eyes once more.

"You wanted to reason, uphold justice?"

"Bah!"

The several Emperor Realm members that followed him also sneered at this.

"Now, who will uphold justice for you?"

Brother Cheng sighed.

Then he smiled at them, a smile tinged with regret: "Didn't I just say we're even, and told you to scram?"

"Why don't you listen?"

His playful and mocking gaze made Chao Guang's heart tremble.

Giving rise to an intuition that perhaps he had made a mistake.

But immediately, he dismissed it as an illusion.

With Commander Luan Long and the other personal guards and Chao Family experts, even if this person was Emperor Realm Third Layer, he would still meet a grim fate.

"You'll soon be unable to laugh!"

He coldly laughed, then immediately complained to Luan Long.

"This person is hiding his strength; he is the mastermind behind the Demoness Gong Qing."

"Not only do they want to destroy our Chao Family, but they also intend to internally dissolve this realm, putting Realm Master Tu Xing at risk!"

He was skilled at fabricating charges, speaking without hesitation.

Even Brother Cheng called him an insider.

"What?"

Luan Long feigned surprise.

He knew what kind of person Chao Guang was, and also knew the charges were fabricated.

But he deliberately shouted sternly, "You dare plot against the Realm Master?"

Faced with his predatory questioning gaze, Brother Cheng felt no pressure.

He had no intention of defending himself, and rather curled his lips: "Yes, yes, I do intend to plot against your Realm Master, so what are you planning to do?"

Pfft!

Gong Qing, who was surrounded on the other side, almost choked on the spot.

Is this person a fool?

Someone falsely accuses you, and you don't even defend yourself?

The charges Chao Guang fabricated—if it were her, she would have found many ways to find flaws and overturn them.

Even if you're not skilled at defending yourself, you should at least deny it, right?

And here you are, foolishly admitting it?

Now, even if others didn't originally plan to act against you, they must do so now.

Not just her, but even Chao Guang didn't expect Brother Cheng to cooperate this much.

"Haha, see, he admitted!"

"Such a person must not be allowed to remain!"

There was no need for him to further fan the flames as Luan Long's gaze sharpened, like nails piercing Brother Cheng.

"Capture him!"

At his command, the surrounding Realm Master personal guards immediately attacked Sect Leader Jiang.

And Sect Leader Jiang's response was to activate all his buffs.

Stacking all Heroic Souls, with 50 Profound Patterns empowered by the Ice Rule, wielding a previously confiscated Tier Ten Immortal Sword, he unleashed the Tier Ten 'Immortal Thousand Splendor Sword Scripture'!

Fifteen Sword Hearts roared out, mutated Immortal Souls descended like Demon Shadows, stirring a tempestuous storm!

Previously, when he fought Lord Jin Chong, he used the Tier Nine Immortal Sword.

Now, upgrading from rifle to cannon, his attack power climbed a level.

The Emperor Realm Second Layer guards were bewildered by the successive Five Elements Sword Heart Mini World explosions he unleashed.

In the sky, like dumplings dropping, a massive group fell pell-mell.

Not only the guards but also some Chao Family members on the side were similarly thrown into chaos.

"How audacious!"

Luan Long originally thought Jiang Cheng was at most Emperor Realm Second Layer, so he didn't need to intervene.

By the time he realized, none of the sixteen guards he had brought along were alive.

In just one second, this group of guards was annihilated!

What power is this?

Emperor Realm Third Layer?

No, even he, at the early-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer, couldn't achieve such a feat!

He could defeat a dozen Emperor Realm Second Layer, but it would require a lot of time and wouldn't guarantee kills.

Yet this person did.

Which means...

Brother Cheng didn't give him a chance to think. After knocking down the personal guards, he charged at Luan Long.

Just five seconds in, Luan Long was getting beaten back.

Against Emperor Realm Fourth Layer, Brother Cheng struggled to break defenses due to limited Profound Pattern power.

Now, facing the early-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer, this was no longer a problem.

The power of fifty Profound Patterns was fully unleashed; Luan Long couldn't withstand it.

"No..."

And Chao Guang was stunned on the spot.

He never dreamed it would come to this.

Originally thinking that with Luan Long and the personal guards here, plus hundreds of Chao Family members, dealing with Sect Leader Jiang would be like a Flying Dragon riding face, making defeat unlikely.

Surely they would reclaim the ground lost earlier, and hack this person to pieces.

Who knew...

The opponent was far stronger than he imagined.

Luan Long's group wasn't even enough to kill him.

Meeting a random passerby turns out to be a super expert?

How is this possible?

If you were this strong, why didn't you say so earlier?

Elsewhere, Gong Qing was also in a state of existential doubt.

"My god..."

Just moments ago, she thought Jiang Cheng was a fool.

Now, this person had Luan Long reeling with every step.

That's an Emperor Realm Third Layer expert she couldn't even contend with.

How strong is this really?

She had no one surrounding her anymore, as everyone had rushed to assist Luan Long.

These helpers hadn't even reached Jiang Cheng before being covered by Sword Hearts, falling in droves.

"Please stop..."

Luan Long barely traded blows with Jiang Cheng for three seconds before the battle began.

Since then, he had been caught in a relentless storm of attacks, now severely wounded and at a dead-end.

Even escaping was no longer possible.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

He was struggling to hang on while begging for mercy.

"It's all Chao Guang's instigation..."

"Come on, I'm a rebel against your Realm Master, how can you let me go?"

Brother Cheng laughed heartily as he intensified his assault.

Luan Long regretted deeply.

Only, it was too late for regret.

A mere minute later, the battle abruptly ended.

Luan Long fell heavily, and the mighty Emperor Realm Third Layer met a tragic death, shredded by Sword Aura.

The other personal guards and hundreds of Chao Family members were also thoroughly wiped out.

The only one remaining was Chao Guang, standing frozen and trembling with fear.
