Cloud Dragon Valley.

It was situated in the center of the Hundred Beasts Mountains and Rivers.

The current Cloud Dragon Valley had expanded a hundredfold. After unifying the entire Hundred Beasts Mountains and Rivers, it had developed at a tremendous pace.

It actually boasted three experts at the Heavenly Destiny Realm.

The First Vice Valley Master, Yun Tian; the Second Vice Valley Master, Yun Xiao; and the Third Vice Valley Master, Yun Yufeng!

These three were all experts recruited by Yun Jianshen. Even the weakest, Yun Yufeng, had a cultivation at the Heavenly Destiny Realm Second Stage. The three of them served as Cloud Dragon Valley’s Vice Valley Masters!

Today...

Third Vice Valley Master Yun Yufeng was leading a group of Cloud Dragon Valley experts, escorting ten prison carriages. Each carriage held ten young boys and girls. The children wore bewildered expressions; some had only just learned to walk. Inside the carriages, they stared about blankly with wide, teary eyes.

"Fourth Brother is back!"

Just as the procession of carriages reached Cloud Dragon Valley, two figures flew out from within the valley.

One was a bald, middle-aged man—the First Vice Valley Master, Yun Tian.

Beside him, holding a Feather Fan and dressed in a silk turban, was a rather handsome middle-aged man—Yun Xiao.

The three of them hadn’t originally been named Yun. They had voluntarily changed their surnames after becoming sworn brothers with Yun Jianshen!

"Second Brother, Third Brother!" Yun Yufeng said with a smile.

"This must have been a tough trip, Fourth Brother!" Yun Tian said with a laugh.

Yun Yufeng shook his head. "It wasn’t that tough. With Cloud Dragon Valley’s current power, what could even the Mansion Master of Yulan Mansion do to us? It’s just... for the past year, Eldest Brother has demanded one hundred boys and girls every month. Now, many families in Yulan Mansion flee as soon as they’re with child. It’s getting harder and harder to procure them!"

"Can’t be helped. It’s what Eldest Brother needs!" said Yun Tian.

Yun Xiao, standing to the side, smiled faintly. "Alright, as long as it’s something Eldest Brother has decided, we just need to do our part diligently. If there are no more children in Yulan Mansion, we’ll just go to the neighboring mansions to find them!"

"That’s true..."

The men laughed heartily.

Yun Yufeng waved a hand, ordering his subordinates, "You lot, take these boys and girls to the Valley Master!"

"Yes, sir!"

The men nodded and escorted the prison carriages forward.

Yun Tian said, "Fourth Brother, you must be weary from the journey. I’ve already prepared a sumptuous feast for you. The three of us should have a drink together!"

"Excellent!"

The three of them immediately turned and headed into Cloud Dragon Valley.

However...

Just as they turned, a figure suddenly flew over from the horizon. It moved so fast that the three of them barely had time to react before the figure landed at the entrance of Cloud Dragon Valley.

The expressions of Yun Tian and the others changed slightly. ’What incredible speed!’

They all looked toward the newcomer.

This person was none other than Jiang Chen!

Yun Xiao frowned. His Feather Fan paused mid-air as he called out, "Friend, what business brings you to our Cloud Dragon Valley?"

"Tell Yun Jianshen to come out and face his death!" Jiang Chen said flatly.

"Hm?"

The faces of Yun Tian and the others darkened.

Yun Tian sneered. "So, you’ve come looking for trouble!"

"How interesting. Ever since our Cloud Dragon Valley unified the Hundred Beasts Mountains and Rivers, no one has dared to provoke us. Where did a reckless fool like you come from, daring to cause a scene at our gates? Are you tired of living?" Yun Yufeng barked, a murderous Evil Qi swirling in his eyes.

Jiang Chen glanced at Yun Yufeng and frowned slightly. "The Evil Qi on you is so thick. You must have a great deal of innocent blood on your hands!"

"HEH HEH!"

Yun Yufeng sneered, rubbing his hands together with a series of sharp CRACKS. "They call me Blood Hand Thousand Slaughter. If I haven’t killed ten thousand, I’ve killed at least eight thousand. If you don’t want to die, then get the hell out of here. Otherwise, I, Blood Hand Thousand Slaughter, won’t be so polite!"

Yun Xiao gently waved his Feather Fan and sneered, "My fourth brother here is famous for his foul temper. Scram if you value your life!"

"Just now, I saw you escorting over a hundred boys and girls. What do you plan to do with them?" Jiang Chen asked, completely ignoring their threats.

"Er..."

The three of them froze, exchanging glances.

Yun Yufeng burst out laughing. "You’re about to die, and you still have the nerve to care about them? Fine, I’ll tell you. In a little while, they’ll be skinned alive, their tendons ripped out, and their blood drained to be used as sacrifices for our Eldest Brother to refine a Secret Treasure. As for you... you’ll follow in their footsteps and join them in Hell!"

The moment his voice fell.

Yun Yufeng suddenly threw a punch.

The phantom fist shot toward Jiang Chen like the wind.

Yun Tian said confidently, "Fourth Brother’s Netherworld Killing Fist has improved again!"

"This one punch is enough to obliterate this brat!" Yun Xiao nodded.

However...

The confidence on their faces quickly crumbled.

An ice-cold glint suddenly erupted in Jiang Chen’s eyes. "You won’t even spare innocent children," he said coldly. "You inhuman beasts have no right to live in this world!"

The moment his voice fell.

Jiang Chen pointed a single finger.

SWOOSH...

A colossal, Qingtian-like finger shot out.

BOOM!

Yun Yufeng’s face was still frozen in a triumphant, vicious sneer, but under the force of that one finger, his body disintegrated, turning directly into nothingness.

"H-How is this possible?"

"F-Fourth Brother... was killed with a single finger?"

Yun Tian and Yun Xiao looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror. "Run!"

"You think you can escape?"

Jiang Chen snorted coldly.

He thrust out a palm.

BOOM!

Yun Tian and Yun Xiao died instantly, not even their bones remaining.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of the many experts within Cloud Dragon Valley. All of them wore expressions of utter horror. "The th-three Vice Valley Masters were insta-killed? This is bad! Something terrible has happened!"

"Qu-Quick! Go get the Valley Master!"

"Enemy attack!"

The entire Cloud Dragon Valley was thrown into complete chaos.

One after another, the experts of Cloud Dragon Valley swarmed toward the entrance.

Jiang Chen’s calm gaze swept over the hundred boys and girls in the ten prison carriages. These children were innocent, and behind each of them was a broken family that had lost a child. Killing intent surged in Jiang Chen’s heart. His icy gaze scanned the crowd from Cloud Dragon Valley as he let out a thunderous roar, "Today, I, Jiang Chen, will flatten Cloud Dragon Valley!"

BOOM!

He stomped down violently.

A giant, mountain-sized foot blotted out the sky as it descended.

RUMBLE—

With a single stomp, he crushed several hundred of Cloud Dragon Valley’s experts. Their bodies exploded, turning into meat paste, leaving not even bones behind.

Even the main gate of Cloud Dragon Valley was utterly stomped into oblivion.

Jiang Chen’s eyes were cold. "Thunder Realm!"

Like a god or a demon, he was bathed in lightning. With his hands clasped behind his back, he advanced. Wherever he passed, not a single one of Cloud Dragon Valley’s vicious thugs was spared.

All of them were blasted into dust by the terrifying lightning!

In just a few breaths’ time, more than half of Cloud Dragon Valley had been annihilated. Acrid smoke rose into the air above a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Only the children in the ten prison carriages stared blankly at their surroundings.

「Ten breaths later.」

The entire Cloud Dragon Valley, save for a single valley shrouded in thick fog in its deepest recesses, had been razed to the ground by Jiang Chen.

Utterly flattened!

Not a single Cloud Dragon Valley thug remained in his line of sight. His cold gaze swept toward the fog-shrouded valley.

The Eyes of the Heavens could perceive the true nature of all things!

The thick fog couldn’t block Jiang Chen’s vision at all.

When he saw what lay within the fog, Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically. The ferocious glint in his eyes grew even more terrifying and violent. His body trembled slightly as a roar filled with infinite fury thundered out...

"Yun Jianshen, you deserve to die by a thousand cuts!"
