Xiang Chen rushed towards the direction of the Wang family. The distance from here to the Wang family was more than ten kilometers. However, with his astonishing speed, he would probably be able to arrive in just ten minutes.
Like a fierce beast, Xiang Chen was able to use all four limbs at the same time. With a sudden burst of power from his hind legs, he could charge more than ten meters away. His hands, just like front paws, could burst with power and charge far away. With this incredible speed, he was like a flying arrow.
The fresh blood on the package behind him had stained his back red, and the warm blood gave Xiang Chen endless grief and anger.
Even if he turned into a monster, he no longer cared. He had realized that the darkness and evil in the human heart were uglier and scarier than monsters.
As long as he could protect the people he cared about, even if he became a monster in the eyes of the world, Xiang Chen didn't care.
The pill given to him by his friend, Babu, released an astonishing power and was constantly being refined and pouring into Xiang Chen's body.
Monsters, to the human race, were irreconcilable in this world. They were vilified for their habit of preying on humans, making them unacceptable to the world.
Four years ago, Babu, the speaking pet pig raised by Xiang Chen's mother, tried to convince him to become a monster, but he refused for this very reason.
Now, if people refused him and tried to kill him, what did he have to lose?
As he walked through the bustling street, Xiang Chen dashed through the crowd with increasing speed, causing many people to dodge and be struck by him.
"What is that? Such a fast speed!"
"It's a human. How can a human run like that?"
"That's... the young master of the Wang family, that strange young master!"
The crowd exclaimed as many pedestrians scrambled to avoid being struck by him.
Xiang Chen leapt onto the roof of a ten-meter-high building and ran between the roofs, shattering numerous tiles under his feet.
"Stop him!"
At this moment, a large group of people on the street below rushed over, shouting angrily.
These people were all wearing the black robes of the Wang family's guards. They wore a large badge with the Wang family's emblem, and they were true guards, not just the house servants from before.
Those who became family guards had a minimum level of cultivation in the realm of the gods.
Only by reaching the realm of the gods could one truly be considered a cultivator and develop true energy.
Fifty to sixty guards of the Wang family flew up to the building and surrounded Xiang Chen from all sides.
Among the guards was a young man about twenty years old, with a stern face and a four-foot long sword in hand. All the other guards followed his lead.
Xia Bei recognized this young man as a member of the army under Queen Lin Lian.
"Xiang Chen, you beast, stop and face your punishment!"
Xia Bei shouted angrily at Xiang Chen.
"Get out of my way. Those who block me will die today!"
Xiang Chen roared from his throat, his eyes bloodshot and full of anger, like a wild beast looking at Xia Bei.
"Humph! I see you are truly a monster. Guards, kill Xiang Chen!"
Xia Bei ordered.
"Kill...!"
Dozens of Wang family guards shouted and drew their waist knives, running their true energy, and launched an attack towards Xiang Chen.
Swoosh!
A guard aimed a knife at Xiang Chen's head. The green knife aura it released could pierce through green stone and travel more than twenty meters.
"Roar..."
Xiang Chen roared and sharp claws grew from his fingers, exuding the power of the pill in his hand.
Clang!
This guard's knife struck Xiang Chen's hand, making a sound like metal on metal. It was enough to make the guard's hand ache, as he stared at Xiang Chen in amazement.
This guy, who was considered a waste and unable to cultivate, had such strength? A guard in the realm of gods could unleash a power of at least three thousand catties.
Xiang Chen's other hand transformed into a tiger's paw and immediately struck down at an astonishing speed.
Splat! This blow tore into the guard's face, breaking his skull and ripping out large chunks of flesh. He could only scream before being killed.
Huff...
Another knife came at Xiang Chen from the side, but he dodged and then delivered a powerful punch, releasing the surging strength within his fist.
Boom!
A golden fist shadow struck down, blasting the knife away and causing the guard to fly more than ten meters and fall to the ground, gasping for air.
More and more people came to attack, and even though they were amazed by Xiang Chen's sudden strength, the combined attacks of so many people were overwhelming. He couldn't defend himself against all of them, and was struck by the knife aura.
Although his flesh and blood had the protection of the energy released by the pill, he was still struck with bleeding wounds.
But even though these knife auras were strong enough to cut through steel, they couldn't cut his body in half, making the guards feel shocked.
"How did this little beast suddenly become so powerful?"
Xia Bei was slightly shocked, watching Xiang Chen dodge and, when given the chance, immediately strike a killing blow to someone in the group.
As he watched the scene, he could hardly believe it.
Not only was Xiang's family, but the entire Merchant King considered him a strange and non-cultivable son.
"Humph, it looks like he really is a monster." Xia Bei snorted and then infused his sword with powerful true energy.
Buzz...!
The sword whined as a green sword aura swept out of it.
"Swift Wind Sword, strike!"
He rushed forward with the fastest sword attack, creating a piercing whistle as the sword moved as swift as the wind.
This was a martial sword technique.
Splat...!
Xiang, who had never practiced martial arts, couldn't dodge. Depending on his natural combat instincts, the sword struck him in the chest, splattering blood.
At the house of the prime prince, one of the six great families, the floor area is more than a thousand acres. It's home to the prime family members, servants, the guards, and no fewer than ten thousand people, including many powerful individuals.
But now, the prime prince was imprisoned, and his mansion had fallen under the control of his wife and queen, Zhou Jinlian.
In the extravagant palace-like mansion, a young man lay in bed, served by beautiful maids.
This young man was about eighteen years old and had a handsome face, but a hint of fierceness in his gaze. He was Xiang Que, Xiang Chen's half-brother, the son of Queen Lin Lian.
A middle-aged woman of about thirty sat beside him, dressed in a long gold phoenix skirt. She was the beautiful and elegant Lin Lian, the cunning aunt of Xiang Chen.
"Mother, has that bastard Xiang Chen died?"
