Chapter 226: Chapter 224: Is the Title of Marquis Wu This Trashy?

“You—you, how could you possibly escape the heavy water?”

Chen Chong stared dumbfounded as Xu Yang rose from the heavy water, most of his body emerging, and caught the saber in his palm with an iron grip.

There wasn’t a single scratch on him!

It was as if he’d just soaked in a bath for three days!

How was this possible?

“I told you, you should have run.”

“Too bad!”

Xu Yang shook his head and let out a light sigh!

If you hadn’t come, you could’ve lived a few days longer!

“I don’t believe it!”

Chen Chong roared in fury, burning True Essence inside him, his Spirit Blade rang out with a clang, flaring with blazing Spirit Fire, struggling to break free from Xu Yang’s grasp!

“Let go of me!”

“Like an egg striking a stone!”

Xu Yang suddenly let go, but in a flash, flicked his fingers together!

Clang!

The Spirit Blade felt as if struck by lightning, its Spirit Fire exploding with a boom, winking out into darkness!

The blade light shattered, bouncing off Chen Chong’s chest with the force of a thunderclap.

Crack!

His wrist twisted and was shredded, flesh mangled, snapped by that immense force!

The rebound caved his chest in as well!

“Ah—”

As the horrific scream rang out, Xu Yang snorted coldly and tore through the heavy water’s restraints, yanking Chen Chong down with a ruthless pull.

Endless terror welled up in Chen Chong’s eyes!

This is the Black Water Insect Prison!

Xu Yang was unafraid of the black water, unafraid of the demon insects.

But Chen Chong was scared—terrified!

“No, let go of me!”

Chen Chong struggled frantically, wielding his saber with Spiritual Will, his Spirit Blade hacking from behind at Xu Yang’s neck.

Xu Yang didn’t even look, Spiritual Power condensing into a hazy chain in midair, blocking the Spirit Blade.

Bang!

The Spirit Blade fell to the ground, powerless.

Chen Chong was yanked all the way down, crashing into the black water!

Splurt!

He coughed up blood, struggling in terror, still not giving up.

But he underestimated the difference in their strength so badly.

“Hm? Found it.”

Xu Yang curved his palm to snatch a Jade Talisman from Chen Chong.

It was indeed an item that could ignore the dungeon’s restrictions and allow him to walk on air.

“No…” Chen Chong stared in utter despair, his eyes bulging with rage!

Having his Spirit Talisman stolen, he completely broke down!

The black water surged in with crushing force, making him tremble like a sieve, his face ashen and bloodless!

The horrors of the Black Water Insect Prison flooded his mind, fear overwhelming him relentlessly!

In this moment, regret crashed over him endlessly.

Why did I ever come here?

I never should have come!

Wait, there’s still a chance!

The warden will notice I haven’t come out and definitely come to save me.

Chen Chong’s eyes lit up with sudden hope.

Meanwhile, outside the dungeon, the Warden sat cross-legged, eyes closed, carefree and composed!

He didn’t care about Chen Chong at all!

To him, Xu Yang couldn’t stir up any storm in the dungeon, three days of corrosion had drained his strength, his vitality waned—how much could he possibly have left?

If Chen Chong went in to torment him, with a Spirit Talisman, unafraid of demon insects or demon shadows, torturing him for a day or two was perfectly normal.

If Chen Chong knew all this, who knows how he’d feel?

“A dignified Marquis Wu, and you don’t even have this much self-control?”

Xu Yang looked at Chen Chong with mocking disdain.

Chen Chong barely managed to collect himself, gritting his teeth and struggling against the black water: “Xu Yang, do you know what you’re doing? Give me back the Spirit Talisman, and I’ll leave right now!”

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched: “Are you the idiot, or am I the idiot?”

“Do you really think I don’t dare kill you?”

“If you kill me, no one can save you!”

Chen Chong laughed with smug rage.

Xu Yang laughed as well: “I’ve already made all the arrangements with the Wuhou Hall Master; in two days, I’ll fight Zheng Qi for life and death!”

“And in the meantime, you came looking for trouble with me. Tell me, if you die in the Black Water Insect Prison, what does that have to do with me?”

“Everyone knows how terrifying this place is—who knows exactly how you died? Is there any evidence it was me?”

Hiss—

Chen Chong sucked in a cold breath, shuddering involuntarily.

Damn it, it makes sense!

“You, you can’t kill me.”

Chen Chong swallowed hard, his eyes shot with blood.

“Relax, I won’t kill you!” Xu Yang grinned widely.

Chen Chong finally managed to sigh in relief.

“But you do need to try out my new little toy!”

When a crystal-clear pill suddenly materialized in Xu Yang’s hand, Chen Chong’s pupils shrank down to pinpricks.

When he saw the eerie black shadow swirling inside the pill, horror crept over him, his scalp tingling!

“What is that stuff?”

“Nothing special!”

“Just demon insects and demon shadows refined together.”

“Nothing worth mentioning!”

Facing Xu Yang’s gentle smile, Chen Chong stood stunned, his mind a blank!

Refining demon insects and demon shadows into a pill?

You call this a little toy?

No!

Chen Chong backed away frantically.

But under the crushing black water, he could barely move, and after just two steps Xu Yang yanked him back again.

He struggled fiercely.

Slap!

Xu Yang gave him a hard slap, pried open Chen Chong’s mouth, and shoved the pill inside.

Once done, Xu Yang tossed him aside with a smile, watching cheerfully.

Splurt splurt splurt!!

Chen Chong clawed madly at his throat, vomiting gobs of blood, but there was no sign of the pill!

“No, no!!”

“Xu Yang, you bastard, get this pill out of me!”

“Damn you, kill me, you you you… ah!!!”

Chen Chong, raging, suddenly convulsed, his whole body spasming, eyes bulging, blue veins and blood vessels bulging and writhing like little snakes on his neck, ready to burst.

He felt demon insects gnawing inside him, demon shadows devouring his spirit!

An unending tide of agony assaulted him!

His screams continued for a dozen heartbeats, then abruptly stopped; Chen Chong stopped caring about anything else, frantically gathering his internal strength to chase and barricade, but it was nearly useless.

Under triple assault, his combat strength dropped drastically.

And this was the third prison ward!

Demon insects and demon shadows here could easily threaten even those at the Peak of Yang Realm.

His skin cracked, flesh squirmed, the pain of being gnawed and his soul spasming pushed him to the verge of collapse.

“Xu Yang, please, let me go.”

“I was wrong, I’ll never bother you again. The Chen Family deserves to die!”

“I really know I was wrong, spare my life, I beg you!”

Chen Chong pleaded with Xu Yang, throwing away all dignity and pride, wanting only to live!

“That strong?” Xu Yang was a bit surprised.

He knew demon insects and demon shadows were fierce, but he always crushed them himself and never experienced it firsthand!

And Chen Chong was at least a Marquis Wu!

Just in this short moment and he couldn’t take it?

And that was just one demon insect, one demon shadow!

Hiss—

Staring at Chen Chong’s miserable state, even Xu Yang clicked his tongue.

He’d still underestimated the power of this stuff.

As for letting Chen Chong go?

Yeah, right!

Xu Yang smiled coolly: “Enjoy it while it lasts!”

With that, he ignored Chen Chong and leapt away!

With the Spirit Talisman, the restrictions could no longer stop him!

Xu Yang’s body flickered as he dashed deeper into the third ward.

With the last two days left, he’d better make a few more of these.

Chen Chong watched Xu Yang disappear into the distance in utter despair, coughing up a mouthful of blood as his features twisted grotesquely.

“Xu Yang, I won’t let you off even if I die!”

“I can’t die, I’m a Marquis Wu, I still need to restore the Chen Family, I cannot die!”

Chen Chong bit his lip until it bled, forming a Curved Palm Seal to resist the invasion!

“If Xu Yang can do it, why can’t I?”
