CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 333: YAN NANSHAN’S CHALLENGE_1

Prison!

As he stood on the square, Qin Feiyang’s rage, akin to a volcanic eruption, became uncontrollable. He looked up at the stone tower. When he saw the Guard Commander standing before the tower door, a stern, fierce light flashed in his eyes.

At the same moment, the Guard Commander also spotted Qin Feiyang, a hint of joy rising on his face.

He’s finally shown up! I’ve finally found an opportunity!

Wei Zhongyang had told him everything; with this leverage, this man would definitely hand over that dagger obediently.

However, when he saw Wang Hong accompanying Qin Feiyang, his face suddenly changed again.

Why would Wang Hong be with Qin Feiyang? Something’s off! Whether it was Wang Hong, Qin Feiyang, Fatty, or Rogue Wolf, something was off about their expressions. They seemed aggressive!

Meanwhile, a broad-faced guard standing behind the Guard Commander had a flash of strange brilliance in his eyes when he saw Fatty.

Fatty rushed forward a few steps and yelled at the Guard Commander, "Open the door immediately!"

The Guard Commander raised an eyebrow, looking at Wang Hong.

Wang Hong ordered, "Take us to see Yan Nanshan."

"What?" They’re here to see Yan Nanshan!

The Guard Commander’s heart trembled, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

I gave Yan Nanshan a severe beating just yesterday. His injuries haven’t healed yet. If they go in now and Wang Hong sees him, I’ll definitely be held accountable.

Fatty yelled coldly, "Are you deaf? Open the door quickly!"

The Guard Commander’s gaze flickered. He took out his Token, turned to open the tower door, and nervously led the group to Yan Nanshan’s cell.

It’s worth mentioning that before entering the ancient fortress, Fatty glanced at the broad-faced guard. Both of them had an eerie smile on their faces.

Why is this happening? Why have they come to see Yan Nanshan at this time?

Standing before the cell door, the Guard Commander was panicking to the extreme. His hand, fumbling in his clothes, couldn’t find the key to open the stone door for a long while.

Wang Hong frowned and said, "Do you need this Commander’s help to find the key?"

"No, no, no. This subordinate has already found it."

The Guard Commander shook his head repeatedly, took out a pentagonal key, and inserted it into the recess on the stone door.

His arm was trembling!

Qin Feiyang, Fatty, and Rogue Wolf exchanged glances, a cold, icy light glinting in their eyes.

CLANG!

The stone door finally opened.

Yan Nanshan came into their sight.

He was unconscious, his body a mess of mangled flesh and blood. There wasn’t an intact spot on him; he hardly looked human anymore!

Qin Feiyang rushed into the cell, checked Yan Nanshan’s injuries, then turned to the Guard Commander and roared, "What happened here?"

The Guard Commander shook his head. "I don’t know either. Perhaps he couldn’t bear it and resorted to self-harm!"

"Self-harm?"

Fatty sneered.

This man is so cunning. Without evidence, we probably can’t do anything to him.

SHING!

Qin Feiyang drew Blue Snow and cleanly severed the iron fetters.

"Huh?" The Guard Commander raised an eyebrow and snapped, "Qin Feiyang, what are you doing?"

He then turned to Wang Hong, saying angrily, "Commander Wang, look at him! He’s being utterly reckless, completely disregarding the prison rules."

"Shut up!" Wang Hong furrowed his brow.

Qin Feiyang dared to cut off the shackles in front of me, which means he already had my tacit approval. Can’t he even figure that out? Does this man not have a brain?

Without the restraint of the iron fetters, Yan Nanshan’s Battle Intent awakened and began to automatically heal his injuries. The Gravity Divine Iron could suppress Battle Intent; this was why Yan Nanshan’s injuries had been unable to heal.

Qin Feiyang then gave Yan Nanshan a Top Grade healing elixir.

Soon, his injuries began to heal. After several hundred breaths, Yan Nanshan finally woke up.

He raised his head, looked at Qin Feiyang, then at Rogue Wolf and Fatty beside him, and whispered, "I’m... not dead yet?"

His voice was weak, feeble, and extremely hoarse.

Rogue Wolf chuckled. "With us here, you couldn’t die even if you wanted to."

"You can speak now?" Yan Nanshan was surprised.

"Not only can I talk, but I can also change my size. Look."

Rogue Wolf’s form shifted, and he instantly became palm-sized. He bounced up and down like a child showing off to an elder, looking quite adorable.

Yan Nanshan looked somewhat stunned. Scanning the two men and the wolf, he smiled and said, "Thank you. But I’m fine now; you don’t need to come and check on me so often."

"Who said we’re here to check on you? We’re here to get you out. Besides, how can you say you’re ’fine’ looking like this?" Fatty rolled his eyes, yet a stern, fierce light flickered in his gaze.

"Get me out?" Yan Nanshan was taken aback.

The Guard Commander, however, was aghast.

Wasn’t Yan Nanshan supposed to be released a year later? Why is he being released now? If Yan Nanshan leaves the prison alive, he will surely be an endless source of trouble in the future!

"Really?" After regaining his senses, Yan Nanshan looked at Qin Feiyang and asked.

Qin Feiyang nodded. "Yes, this is a direct order from the Family Head."

"I can finally leave..." Yan Nanshan murmured. It was somewhat hard to believe; it felt like he was dreaming.

Meanwhile, a storm raged in the Guard Commander’s heart.

An order from the Family Head himself... It’s over. This is completely over. Yan Nanshan is stronger than me. Once Yan Nanshan walks out of here, he’ll definitely come after me first!

Qin Feiyang helped Yan Nanshan up, then turned to the Guard Commander and sneered, "Are you afraid now?"

The Guard Commander looked flustered and stammered, "I... I haven’t done anything wrong. What would I be afraid of?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Fatty, show him."

"You got it!" Fatty took out an Image Crystal Stone, and an image quickly materialized from it.

"How is this possible? Why do you have this?" The Guard Commander was dumbfounded, staring at Fatty in disbelief.

"As the saying goes, ’The only way for people not to know is not to do it yourself.’ The Family Head already knows about the things you’ve done," Fatty sneered. "Tell me, what consequences do you think you’ll face next?"

The Guard Commander shuddered and turned to Wang Hong urgently. "Commander Wang, please, let me explain! It was Yan Nanshan who spoke insolently. I only tortured him in a fit of anger..."

"Enough!" Wang Hong barked.

THUD!

The Guard Commander fell to his knees and pleaded, "Commander Wang, every word I’ve said is true! Please, investigate clearly, Commander!"

"If you had admitted your mistakes voluntarily, this Commander might have shown leniency," Wang Hong said, killing intent flashing in his eyes. "But you have greatly disappointed me. Even now, you remain obstinate. You deserve to die!"

"Commander, you can’t kill me!" The Guard Commander hastily retreated.

At the same time, he took out an Image Crystal Stone and faced Qin Feiyang. "I know all your secrets! Give me a teleportation portal right now, or I’ll publicize your background!"

He knew clearly that he was doomed today. His only chance of survival was to escape State City.

"How dare you!" Wang Hong roared. "The Family Head himself has forbidden anyone from publicizing Qin Feiyang’s background! If you dare to leak it, not only will you die, but your entire family will perish as well!"

The Family Head again! The Guard Commander trembled in body and soul. Who on earth is this young man, to warrant such concern from the Family Head?

Fatty shook his head, his eyes full of mockery. "Master Fatty knew long ago that you’d try to use this to threaten us. Unfortunately, you’re too naive. Let’s not even talk about old man Family Head. Even if you really did publicize it, it wouldn’t cause us any harm. On the contrary, it would only make us more famous and make families like the Lu Family even more afraid of us."

The Guard Commander murmured, "Then... doesn’t that mean everything I’ve done was for nothing?"

SWISH!

Just then, Wang Hong landed before the Guard Commander in a single step. With a lightning-fast move, he snatched and crushed the Image Crystal Stone.

The Guard Commander jolted, fell to his knees again, and pleaded, "Commander, spare my life! I was wrong! I’ll definitely change my ways!"

"You only get one chance!" Wang Hong extended his index finger, aiming it at the center of the Guard Commander’s brow.

"Sir, wait!" Yan Nanshan suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Wang Hong frowned.

Yan Nanshan cupped his hands. "I wish to fight the Guard Commander. Please grant your permission, Sir!"

"No!" Fatty and Rogue Wolf exclaimed hastily. Yan Nanshan was severely injured and not in a good mental state; he couldn’t possibly fight at full strength. Even if his cultivation realm was higher than the Guard Commander’s, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I agree."

Rogue Wolf said angrily, "Xiao Qinzi, are you crazy?"

Qin Feiyang said, "He tortured the Hall Master for so long. It’s only fitting that the Hall Master personally ends his life."

Yan Nanshan had his pride. Having been bullied for so long, he had a belly full of resentment. If he didn’t vent it now, he would likely never be content for the rest of his life.

"But..." Rogue Wolf still wanted to say something.

Yan Nanshan waved his hand. "Don’t worry. Even if I can’t fight at full strength, I can still crush him underfoot."

The Guard Commander said, "How arrogant! Fine, I’ll fight you. If I win, you have to let me go!"

"You won’t win." Yan Nanshan shook his head, his entire being radiating an unparalleled confidence.

The Yan Nanshan of old had returned.

Wang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Very well. Go to the square outside."

I also want to see just how much potential Yan Nanshan truly has.

The group walked out of the ancient tower.

"It’s been so long since I last saw the sun." Standing on the stone steps, Yan Nanshan looked up at the sky above, feeling as if an age had passed.

SWISH!

The Guard Commander took a step, landing in a corner of the square, his aura erupting powerfully.

He was a Seven-star War Emperor!

"Come on! I’ll show you the gap between us right now!" He looked up at Yan Nanshan, his eyes full of provocation.

"Is that so?" Yan Nanshan withdrew his gaze and looked down at him.

Qin Feiyang said, "Hall Master, open your mouth."

"Hmm?" Yan Nanshan was startled and somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t ask further, merely parting his chapped lips slightly.

Qin Feiyang quietly took out a Battle Intent Elixir with two Elixir Patterns. In a flash, he thrust it into Yan Nanshan’s mouth.

"This is..." Yan Nanshan was instantly shocked. Although he hadn’t seen it, the moment the elixir entered his mouth, he knew it was a Battle Intent Elixir.

But this energy... it’s too immense!

It continuously poured into his Qi Sea. The Battle Intent he had lost during this period was rapidly being replenished.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "After we deal with that fellow, I’ll explain everything to you."

"Alright." Yan Nanshan nodded.

"For all the humiliation I’ve suffered during this time, I’ll make you repay it twofold!" He took a step forward. His Battle Intent surged to the heavens, carrying an immense momentum as he charged directly at the Guard Commander.
