Su Chen's face twitched uncontrollably.

Nima, this Netherworld Empress really dares to say anything...

But Su Chen's mouth isn't vegetarian either.

He rolled his eyes and said, "So what? Some people are over a hundred years old."

This statement hit the Netherworld Empress where it hurt, "Su Chen, you believe I won't bite you to death?"

"Sure!" Su Chen chuckled with a smirk.

The Netherworld Empress didn't react at first.

But after a moment, her face darkened.

"Su Chen, do you have to be so shameless? I'm just a child!" the Netherworld Empress gritted her teeth.

"Little friend, if you're alright then go study hard, aim high every day, and stay out of adult matters!" Su Chen teased the Netherworld Empress one last time before heading straight back to his room.

Upon returning to his room, Su Chen immediately began to meditate and regulate his breath.

Today's fight with Hellboy, he used the Burning Secret Technique twice.

It was the first time he had used the Burning Secret Technique in battle since his return.

This secret technique could instantly enhance Su Chen's explosive power.

But the side effects were quite substantial.

The first level was manageable, only making him temporarily weak, and it could be used three times.

But with Explosion or Destruction, the side effects were greater.

Especially Destruction, it directly caused Su Chen's cultivation to regress a realm.

For a martial artist, regressing in cultivation is an extremely serious matter.

Thus, unless it was a matter of life and death, Su Chen would absolutely not use Destruction.

Now that he almost had an Undying Body, he was even less likely to use Destruction.

Given the choice between death and regressing in cultivation level, Su Chen would rather choose to die once.

Of course, his death was not the same as others'.

In the battle with his sister-in-law, his heart was pierced by her katana.

If it had been anyone else, they would have long been dead.

But not Su Chen.

"It's a pity, I'm still one step away from reaching the Saint Realm," Su Chen sighed internally.

Although his current cultivation was very close to the Saint Realm and his actual combat ability had reached the Saint Realm,

He could even kill ordinary Saint Realm powerhouses.

But he was not yet a Saint Realm.

If he could break through to the Saint Realm, he wouldn't need to trouble himself and could directly control Hua Qianyu.

The reason he hadn't taken action yet was because he wasn't a hundred percent sure.

He didn't want to jeopardize his instructor's life because of his own reasons.

"It seems that the Saint Realm is indeed my shackles, not so easy to break," Su Chen shook his head.

During this time, he had used the Shura Potion twice and gained tremendous benefits from the Furnace Tripod Long Die.

But even these weren't enough to break through to the Saint Realm.

However, it wasn't all for nothing.

His Inner Strength had become more concrete.

Although the total amount didn't seem to have increased, the quality had changed.

This was the key to his victory over the fused Hellboy.

If he hadn't gained these two benefits, with only the strength of just reaching Jin San, even if he could eventually defeat Hellboy, he himself would have ended up in a tragic state.

Su Chen continued to regulate his breath for a long time.

During this period, no one disturbed him.

Not even the Netherworld Empress came over.

Although the Netherworld Empress had lost her cultivation, she could see that Su Chen's physical condition wasn't very good.

Not that she cared much about Su Chen.

But now she entirely lived under Su Chen's protection.

If Su Chen was done for.

So was she.

Meditating until the early morning, Su Chen finally fell into a deep sleep.

What he didn't know was that shortly after he fell asleep, a sneaky figure quietly stepped into his room.

The figure was relatively petite, appearing to be a woman's figure.

In the woman's hand, she held a wooden stick she had broken off from a chair.

The sharp end of the stick was a pointed spike.

The woman moved silently toward the sleeping Su Chen, like a ghost in the night.

Finally, she reached the bedside, and without any hesitation, she used the sharp end of the stick to stab at the person on the bed.

Thump!

But there was no sensation of piercing a body.

Instead, it pierced into a clump of cotton.

Not good!

She was discovered.

The woman was quite sharp, and immediately prepared to retreat after the unsuccessful strike.

However, just as she was about to retreat, she found that the lights in the room had been turned on.

Then, a man jestingly stood at the door, looking at her.

"So you really want to kill me that badly? I just saved you!" Su Chen said with a face full of grievance.

Su Chen's perception was extremely sharp.

The woman was still three meters away from his door when he noticed her.

Although the woman moved very softly.

He still heard her.

His first thought was that it might be Hua Qianyu.

But that thought was quickly dismissed.

Because if Hua Qianyu wanted to kill him, she wouldn't bother being so secretive.

Was it the Netherworld Empress?

Judging from the footsteps, it seemed to be an adult.

So who exactly wanted to kill him?

Before the woman pushed the door open, Su Chen hid behind it.

When he saw the woman's standard stealth moves and her height, Su Chen guessed who it was trying to kill him.

After turning on the light, his guess was indeed confirmed.

Yes, the person who came to attack him in the middle of the night was none other than the female soldier Sui Feng!

When Su Chen brought her back, she was still unconscious.

Su Chen had someone take her to the infirmary.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this girl woke up, she came over to kill him.

Upon seeing Su Chen, Sui Feng's expression changed.

She didn't expect to encounter Su Chen here.

Originally, she just wanted to sneak in quietly and assassinate the manager of this area.

But unexpected to her, this manager was none other than Su Chen, who had defected in the heat of battle and fired a shot!

This damned Huaxia man!

He betrayed her!

A murderous intent surged in Sui Feng's eyes.

Her desire to kill Su Chen intensified.

If it weren't for Su Chen spoiling her plans, she might have finished her mission and returned to her country by now.

But because Su Chen betrayed her.

She was forced to delve into the den of danger.

As a result, she was brought to the farm.

Of course, she was caught on purpose.

Because she noticed that the person who caught her had a tattoo similar to that of Horses' Fortune.

She had originally thought that with her skills, she would be able to complete her mission quickly.

However, when she was brought here, she was shocked.

This place was nothing short of Hell.

She planned to lead a rebellion with the slaves.

Unfortunately, those slaves had long been tortured into numbness, losing their will to fight.

Unexpectedly, there were beings even stronger than Dragon Group Soldiers here in this farm.

Hellboy easily captured her.

Then, she fell into unconsciousness.

When she woke up, she found herself in an infirmary.

Sui Feng broke a wooden chair and fashioned it into a simple weapon.

Then she sneaked out of the infirmary.
