These old foxes! Each one more insidious than the last, each one better at hiding!

Jiang Wang cursed inwardly.

At this moment, he was curled up in a ball by the side door, his gaze fixed on the main hall.

So he could clearly see that the corpse belonging to Tian Yong on the ground was standing up.

What’s going on?

Rising from the dead?

Or another zombie that had been refined?

But his voice was loud and full of energy.

As he shouted, “His crime deserves death, his heart deserves condemnation!” the characteristics of a corpse on his body gradually faded away.

The stiff flesh regained its softness, the blue-black color faded, and blood flowed back.

The heart beat, and the blood flowed.

In the blink of an eye, Tian Yong changed from a corpse back to the way Jiang Wang saw him when he first entered the hall!

At the same time that Tian Yong retreated from his corpse state and spoke, the long-cloak zombie immediately turned around and rushed towards him at lightning speed, its nails growing sharply, clawing at his head.

But Tian Yong was faster. The long-cloak zombie had just turned around when his hand was already pressed on Zhao Fangyuan’s crown.

The reason he chose to strike when Zhao Fangyuan was manipulating the zombie to kill Lian Que was to create a time difference, catching Zhao Fangyuan off guard.

The long-cloak zombie stopped in mid-air.

Zhao Fangyuan looked at Tian Yong in horror: “Who else refined a corpse? No, you’re not a zombie!”

He quickly reacted: “The killing intent erosion was a trick you secretly used, this is all a scheme you set up!”

A muffled sound.

Zhao Fangyuan’s head initially showed no abnormalities, but after a while, blood flowed from his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.

The entire inside of his head had been smashed into paste.

Tian Yong glanced at his hand, which had scattered halfway through forming a seal, and smiled disdainfully.

Zhao Fangyuan was certainly good at acting, but Tian Yong was not a careless fool.

From the beginning, he had been feigning death.

No. He had really died once.

Because if he hadn’t truly died, he wouldn’t have been able to deceive Ji Xiu from Dongwang Valley, and the Nine Deaths Poison that Ji Xiu released using his corpse as a medium would not have been successful.

He used some method to make himself truly “die” once, and then resurrected at this moment.

Because he had truly “died” once, the Nine Deaths Poison itself had no effect on him.

And the only truth was that he was the one who had set up the killing intent erosion.

He was the second to enter the Fourth Heavenly Palace Dragon Palace, and he immediately thought of a plan. He first coaxed Jiang Wang to search the side hall. He himself turned back and secretly carved most of the array patterns.

When all the cultivators in this dragon palace had arrived, confirming that no one else would come, he used the same rhetoric to guide everyone to search in different places.

And he himself turned back to the main hall, drew the last stroke of the array pattern, and then used a scream to attract everyone back to the main hall, directly escaping by death.

His death itself was the biggest frame-up of Lian Que. Next, he only had to wait for the competitors in the dragon palace to kill each other.

Everyone was killing their opponents while out of control, and he would “resurrect” at the end to clean up the mess. Easily reaping the fruits of victory.

This was his entire plan.

And now, he had succeeded.

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, none of the opponents participating in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm competition were weak.

But the final outcome was still as he had predicted.

He had almost succeeded.

The reason it was only “almost” was because there was still Jiang Wang.

After killing Zhao Fangyuan, Tian Yong did not hesitate, directly wiping blood from Zhao Fangyuan’s face, condensing it into blood arrows, and shaking his hand to shoot straight at Lian Que.

With this change, the blood energy on Lian Que’s face had already counterattacked to his lips. But at this time, suddenly encountering the blood arrow attack, he could only temporarily stop the battle with the death energy, and slightly shift his body to avoid the vital point.

The blood arrow pierced through his abdomen, and the death energy surged up to his nose again.

But Lian Que didn’t even let out a cry of pain, just stubbornly continued to fight with the death energy.

From Ji Xiu to Zhao Fangyuan, and then to Tian Yong. The blood energy and death energy fought back and forth on his face like this, each time counterattacking with a little hope, only to be immediately interrupted.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have despaired.

But Lian Que didn’t have the slightest intention of giving up. He seemed not to know what giving up was.

And at the same time that Tian Yong was ruthlessly attacking and Lian Que was struggling to survive. Jiang Wang had already leapt up like a dragon, instantly crossing the distance of half the main hall, and slammed down with a punch to the head.

This was completely beyond Tian Yong’s imagination.

Because if Jiang Wang still had the strength to fight, then why hadn’t he moved once in the many previous opportunities?

Tian Yong, out of caution when finishing off his opponents, also subconsciously chose Lian Que first, precisely because of his judgment of the situation.

The smarter people are, the more they believe in themselves.

That was the confidence accumulated from countless times of correctness and countless victories.

Now this confidence had harmed him.

Tian Yong turned around and threw a punch, fist against fist.

However, halfway through the punch, Jiang Wang had already changed his fist into a palm. In the palm of his hand, a flame flower bloomed.

Jiang Wang fixed himself in mid-air with his powerful hovering ability, and the flame flower shot out, hitting Tian Yong’s fist.

His entire fist was blown away.

In Tian Yong’s uncontrollable cry of pain, Jiang Wang’s palm fell again.

Tian Yong endured the pain and used his remaining left hand to punch back.

Jiang Wang retracted his hand, avoiding the strongest point of the punch, then probed forward again, grabbing it firmly and twisting it back!

Tian Yong’s entire left arm, starting from the fist in contact with Jiang Wang, exploded in turn with muscles and blood lines spiraling in reverse.

Bones cracked.

And Jiang Wang took advantage of the situation to pull him whole in front of him, lifting his knee to strike.

This knee strike directly carried Tian Yong’s entire body, lifting him high into the air and crashing him against the hall pillar.

Jiang Wang fell backwards in the air.

Tian Yong only then slid down the hall pillar, his entire internal organs had been smashed to pieces in this knee strike, dead beyond recovery.

It was a pity that all of his learning, the Great Marsh Tian Clan’s techniques and secrets, and even the means of manipulating killing intent, had no time to be used.

If we were to say who was at full fighting strength, compared to Tian Yong, who had paid a great price to feign death and resurrect, Jiang Wang was the one who had maintained the most complete fighting strength in the entire arena!

Tian Yong had only judged one thing wrong today, one person.

And this. Was the cause of his death.

Jiang Wang stood alone in the hall. At this time, all the other cultivators participating in the battle for this dragon palace had died, leaving only one Lian Que lying on the ground struggling to die.

As long as he killed him, the divine ability Inner Mansion opportunity would be in his grasp.

Killing him was also very easy, he didn’t even need to draw his sword, a flame flower was enough.

But Jiang Wang didn’t even look at him, but instead re-examined the main hall… Of course, not to search corpses, the main purpose was to find clues to the divine ability opportunity, fearing that he had missed something.

These cultivators participating in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm must have good things on them. It’s just that they are limited by the rules of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm and cannot exert their power. Any remains of a corpse would be enough to make Jiang Wang rich overnight.

But he couldn’t take any of them.

Although he wouldn’t remember anything after leaving the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, those “relics” were the most real language.

Which one he took would mean that he killed that person. Others wouldn’t even give him a chance to explain.

Even if wanton killing in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm was something everyone acquiesced to. But after leaving the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, no one would admit this point.

Because the country needs rules, humans need rules, and this world needs rules.

Jiang Wang didn’t make a move, but Lian Que couldn’t help but speak first.

“Aren’t you going to kill me yet?”

At this time, the death energy had been forced below his neck, so he could probably hold on to say a few more words.

Jiang Wang was examining the pattern of a screen, trying to unearth some hidden secret, and casually asked back: “You didn’t want to kill me, why should I kill you?”

This was a very normal sentence.

But Lian Que was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had been insulted, he shouted angrily: “At this time, in this place, what false benevolence and righteousness are you still pretending to be! If you want to kill, then kill, I won’t frown even once. Don’t do those disgusting torturous tricks!”

“Disgusting torturous tricks? What are you referring to?” Jiang Wang’s eyes were almost stuck to the divine dragon picture, but he still hadn’t found any clues.

He continued: “Skinning? Tendon extraction? Starting from the toes, slow roasting? Planting grass in your nostrils?”

Each time he said something, Lian Que’s eyes widened by a point.

Even that ugly face entangled in blood energy and death energy had a third color added. Ghastly white.
