Everyone in the residence suddenly froze, instantly stopping what they were doing. Various emotions showed in their eyes as they all turned, twistedly and in unison, toward the source of the voice.
At the entrance stood a tall, slender figure in a gray-white robe and black outer coat, his gaze coldly sweeping over everyone in the estate.
Wang Jie was the first to reveal a disdainful expression. "So it's one of Zhenyuan Escort Agency's brats..."
Bang
A bloody head was thrown onto the ground.
Its expression was savage and unwilling, with two scars that stood out in particular.
"This is... Black Heart Tiger! Hahahaha! This old man's great vengeance has been avenged!" Old Master Sun was the first to break the silence, bursting into wild laughter.
Then he pounced over, picked up the head, and actually began gnawing on it alive.
As if what he held was not a head, but a roasted chicken.
This seemed to be a signal. Everyone in the courtyard resumed what they had been doing before, completely ignoring Jiang Yuan.
Yet Jiang Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest at the sight. As though he too ignored the chaos around him, he instead looked coldly at Wang Jie. "Were you looking for me?"
Wang Jie glanced at the head in Old Master Sun's arms. His expression changed slightly, fear flashing across his face. Yet that fear vanished in an instant, replaced by arrogance as he said to Jiang Yuan, "Yes, it was me. What are you going to do about it?"
Jiang Yuan's lips curled. "Interesting."
His eyes were azure like water. He raised his head slightly, and in his vision, a mass of black mist hung above the vast Sun residence. Seven heads emerged from that mist, men and women, old and young.
The seven heads had extremely long necks, like serpentine beasts with human heads.
It was impossible to make out whether there was a body or something else within the mist.
The expressions on the seven heads were all different.
Arrogance, hatred, greed, lust, and other expressions of negative emotion constantly shifted across the seven heads.
Wisps of gray mist drifted from everyone in the estate toward the seven-headed monster.
No one noticed that the Sun Family's servants and relatives had already lost their breath. Their faces were stiff, yet still frozen in twisted expressions as they lay on the ground.
Only the martial artists in the courtyard were still alive. Even so, they had not noticed that the servants bringing dishes had stopped serving food some time ago.
As if it had noticed Jiang Yuan's gaze, all seven heads of the monster, all fourteen eyes, suddenly turned toward him. Their mouths opened in soundless hisses.
"Say it! What do you want to do about it?" Wang Jie was still shouting provocatively. He looked so punchable that he was only missing a slap to his own chest and a yell of, Come hit me!
"I just want you to shut up." Jiang Yuan casually reached out and pressed a hand against Wang Jie's face.
Before Wang Jie's Late Qi and Blood Stage qi and blood could even react, his entire head was slammed into the ground. The bluestone slabs instantly shattered, and Wang Jie was planted upside down into the dirt beneath them, without making another sound.
Qian San, standing nearby, looked at Jiang Yuan without the slightest fear. The jealousy in his eyes remained, but he did not step forward to attack.
The smile on Jiang Yuan's lips grew ever more unrestrained, and a trace of distortion gradually appeared on his face.
"A Strange Phenomenon that formed a domain? How many Points is it worth?" Scarlet appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes, staining his pupils. Two red lines wound around his brow, the muscles across his body bulged, and his entire frame swelled by a full size. His clothes nearly burst apart. Jiang Yuan's body was now powerfully built, his muscles tangled like the roots of ancient trees.
He stomped fiercely, and the bluestone beneath his feet instantly exploded, creating a far greater commotion than before.
Using the powerful recoil, Jiang Yuan shot into the air and charged toward the Seven-Headed Strange Phenomena.
Exotic Bone Chaos!
Scorching exotic bone power ignited Jiang Yuan's qi and blood, immense strength pulsing through his body.
Without the slightest technique, Jiang Yuan lunged at one of the elderly-looking heads.
He grabbed it, then yanked downward. There was not a drop of blood, but the head was violently torn off and crumbled into ash in Jiang Yuan's hand.
The other six heads all cried out in pain.
"Oh? I thought you couldn't feel pain." Jiang Yuan muttered as he crushed two more heads.
Then curiosity appeared in his scarlet eyes.
He looked into the mass of black mist, where nothing could be seen.
What was inside?
Using the long neck of the Seven-Headed Strange Phenomena for leverage, Jiang Yuan shot fiercely into the black mist.
The black mist seemed highly corrosive. Yet its corrosion was not physical, but mental. Still, it was burned completely clean by the exotic bone power around Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan thrust a hand forward, plunging it into the black mist.
A slimy, sticky sensation came from his hand.
Disgust appeared on Jiang Yuan's face, and then he yanked outward.
Exotic bone power instantly ignited the black mist, and the Seven-Headed Strange Phenomena howled as spreading flames set it ablaze.
Inside the black mist was an octopus-like body. Jiang Yuan hated octopuses most of all; there was no reason for it, he simply hated them.
[Points +700]
A massive warm current surged into Jiang Yuan's body, and the qi and blood throughout his body instantly rose by another level.
The simulator's notification sounded beside his ear. Joy appeared on Jiang Yuan's face without the slightest concealment, before he returned to an indifferent expression.
Bang! Jiang Yuan landed, creating an enormous crash.
The exotic bone power around him rapidly withdrew into his chest. The scarlet faded from his eyes, revealing pupils black as an abyss.
He looked at his hands.
Was this the so-called domain of a Strange Phenomenon?
Loss of control over emotions, and all of them negative emotions.
Even with exotic bones within him, Jiang Yuan could not endure the Strange Phenomenon's domain.
This was the difference between Strange Phenomena and other horrors. The influence of a Strange Phenomenon's domain was simply too strong. Even after Jiang Yuan activated Exotic Bone Chaos, the power of his exotic bones could not break through the Strange Phenomenon's domain.
Jiang Yuan did not know how those powerful martial artists dealt with Strange Phenomena. After activating Exotic Bone Chaos, he was much stronger than some Hua Jin Martial Artists, yet he still could not resist a Strange Phenomenon.
The wild arrogance hidden deep in Jiang Yuan's heart, born from being a transmigrator with a cheat, had just been stirred.
But the Strange Phenomenon did not seem to possess any offensive ability.
Jiang Yuan looked around. The colors in everyone's eyes gradually turned into confusion. Their movements slowly stopped, and as they looked at the devastation surrounding them, they were at a loss.
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Should he deal with them?
His emotions had just gone out of control, and he had activated Exotic Bone Chaos. Though these people might not know what exotic bones were.
But for a Qi and Blood Martial Artist like him to smash a Strange Phenomenon to pieces was truly outrageous. If word got out, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.
"It's a horror! Damn it! It's that feeling again! I never should have come here!" A martial artist suddenly cried out.
"What happened? What happened here?"
"A Strange Phenomenon! One of the horrors, a Strange Phenomenon!"
"What is that?"
"Damn it, I actually encountered something this cursed. But luckily I'm still alive! Hahaha."
"What just happened? I only remember... I'll fuck your mother! Guard Bai, how dare you treat my Sun Family like this?"
"Ah? Old Master Sun, it's a misunderstanding! It was all that horror! I didn't do anything~"
"This is... the young hero from Zhenyuan Escort Agency? I remember! He seemed to have thrown out Black Heart Tiger's head, and Old Master Sun even gnawed on it."
"What! Bleurgh~"
Jiang Yuan lowered his gaze slightly, concealing the killing intent in his eyes.
