"Haha... Did you all hear that? This kid actually plans to kill us!" Blood Fiend laughed uproariously, as though he'd heard the most ridiculous joke of his life. He glanced back at his men, who shared his amusement.
"This brat must be out of his mind!" one of the gang members sneered.
"A kid who still has milk on his lips thinks he can challenge the Blood Fiend Gang? I could crush him with one punch!" another mocked.
Their jeering echoed through the air.
"Boss, why waste time on this fool? Let me deal with him," a middle-aged man stepped forward, his eyes filled with disdain.
Blood Fiend nodded. "Fine. But don't kill him. Leave him barely alive."
No matter how confident he felt, Jiang Chen was still Jiang Wuya's son. Blood Fiend knew that seizing the Jiang family's medicine garden was already a provocation. Killing Jiang Wuya's son outright would push things too far. If Jiang Wuya returned, there would be no escape from his wrath.
"Don't worry, Boss. I'll just cripple him," the middle-aged man replied smugly, striding toward Jiang Chen. "Kid, any last words? How do you want to die?"
Jiang Chen's expression was icy. "I'm sending you to your death."
The words barely left his lips before his figure blurred, transforming into an afterimage. In an instant, he appeared beside the middle-aged man, his fist glowing with a silver radiance.
Boom!
Jiang Chen's punch connected with the man's chest, a seemingly simple strike packed with terrifying force. The man's body convulsed violently, blood spraying from his mouth. He was flung backward like a broken kite, crashing to the ground several meters away—lifeless.
What?!
The Blood Fiend Gang members froze, their faces pale with shock. Even Blood Fiend's eyes widened in disbelief.
That middle-aged man had been one of their strongest warriors, a Qi Protection Realm expert. And yet, this young boy had taken him down with a single punch.
"How... How is this possible?" Blood Fiend muttered, struggling to process what he had just witnessed. Jiang Chen looked no older than sixteen. How could he possess such immense power?
"Young as you are, I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," Blood Fiend admitted, his voice wary.
Jiang Chen's gaze remained cold. "Your five minutes are up."
Blood Fiend's eyes narrowed, anger replacing his earlier shock. "Don't get cocky, kid! Just because you defeated one of my men doesn't mean I'll fear you!"
He let out a harsh laugh. "I want to see how you think you'll kill me!"
Jiang Chen's expression didn't waver. "I gave you a chance, but you wasted it. After today, there will be no Blood Fiend Gang left in Cangshan City."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Chen's figure vanished again.
A scream rang out behind Blood Fiend. He spun around, just in time to see one of his men collapsed to tje ground, lifeless.
"You...!" Blood Fiend's eyes blazed with fury. " I'll kill you!"
Roaring like an enraged lion, Blood Fiend charged at Jiang Chen, his aura surging violently.
