Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

Inside Celestial Demon Canyon.

Lui Yifa was held aloft by a single hand, his neck in Zhao Qinghuo’s grasp.

Zhao Qinghuo’s expression was cold as he said flatly, "The two double-hours are almost up. Have you made up your mind? Will you remain stubborn to the end, or will you confess?"

"Zhao Qinghuo, don’t get too comfortable. The day my boss returns will be the day you die..." Lui Yifa managed a grimace. His pristine white teeth looked ghastly against his blood-soaked face as he spat out the words.

"You’re courting death!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Zhao Qinghuo snorted coldly. A cyan True Essence Light began to glow in his raised palm as he prepared to finish off Lui Yifa.

Just then...

Qian Luohao’s voice came from the side. "Gang Leader Zhao, could you perhaps hand this brat over to me? Let me be the one to deal with him."

"You?"

Zhao Qinghuo paused, looking at Qian Luohao in his wheelchair.

A venomous hatred twisted Qian Luohao’s stubbled face. He nodded, his voice dripping with malice as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Back then, that little bastard Jiang Chen sold us those spots at a premium, only to turn around and give them to the Lui Family. This was all because of Lui Yifa. He’s part of the reason I ended up like this. I implore Gang Leader Zhao to grant my wish and let me kill my enemy with my own hands. From this day forward, the Qian Family will follow the Qinghuo Gang’s lead!"

Luoo Ri and Meng Qing, who were standing at the side, also spoke up, "We implore you to grant his wish, Gang Leader Zhao!"

Zhao Qinghuo’s eyes darted around. His cold gaze swept over the three of them.

Their faces were contorted with malice and hatred. They were like three starving wolves that had just spotted their nemesis, baring their teeth, eager to tear Lui Yifa to shreds.

"Fine. I’ll grant your wish!" Zhao Qinghuo nodded and tossed Lui Yifa to the ground.

CREAK CREAK CREAK—

Qian Luohao wheeled himself over to Lui Yifa. He stared down with a cold gaze and cackled maliciously, "Lui Yifa, back when you were trailing behind Jiang Chen, you were so full of spirit and pride! Heh heh heh, I bet you never imagined you’d end up in such a miserable state, did you?"

Lui Yifa glanced at him and snorted coldly, saying nothing more.

"Oh-ho, quite the tough guy! I know your whole Lui Family is a bunch of hard-headed fools, but I refuse to believe it. I’m going to find out just how hard your bones really are..."

With a ferocious sneer on his face, Qian Luohao pushed his wheelchair forward.

The wheels of that chair were forged from Refined Iron and weighed two or three hundred pounds. As Qian Luohao pushed forward, they made a CREAKING sound, and the metal wheel rolled directly onto Lui Yifa’s fingers.

"Hmph..."

Lui Yifa let out a muffled grunt as his fingers were crushed and deformed by the metal wheel.

His face flushed red from the pain, veins bulged on his forehead, and his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat.

"Tsk tsk, your bones really are tough. Let’s see how long you can endure this!" Qian Luohao continued to push the wheel.

Back and forth, back and forth!

Again and again, it crushed Lui Yifa’s fingers.

They say the pain in one’s fingers is connected to the heart. All of Lui Yifa’s fingers were crushed and mangled, the bones ground to dust. He trembled uncontrollably from the agony.

"Qian Luohao, if you have the guts, then just kill me! When my boss gets back, he’ll definitely avenge me!" Lui Yifa roared, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain. His eyes were completely filled with a dense web of blood vessels.

"Jiang Chen? Hahaha! That little bastard wouldn’t dare show his face! If he does, Celestial Demon Canyon will become his graveyard!" Qian Luohao laughed wildly. He leaned down slightly and said, "Lui Yifa, if you kneel before me and curse Jiang Chen, call him a bastard who deserves a horrible death, then beg me to spare you... I might even be able to put in a good word with Gang Leader Zhao and leave you a way out. How about it?"

Lui Yifa clenched his jaw, his blood-red eyes locked onto Qian Luohao. He spat out each word: "Go. Fuck. Your. Self."

"You shameless piece of trash." Qian Luohao’s expression darkened. "Since you’re asking for death, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

The wheel rolled again, relentlessly crushing Lui Yifa’s fingers.

Standing to the side with his arms crossed, Luoo Ri said in a strange, mocking tone, "Brother Qian, his fingers are completely shattered. He probably lost feeling in them a long time ago. You’re just wasting your effort!"

"That’s right!"

Meng Qing added, "I think you should try rolling it over his crotch a few times. I bet that’ll feel good!"

"Good idea!"

Qian Luohao’s eyes lit up. He pushed his wheelchair, aiming the Refined Iron wheel at Lui Yifa’s crotch.

GRIND, GRIND, GRIND—

The wheel moved, grinding over sand and gravel with a hair-raising sound as the heavy Refined Iron wheel slowly approached Lui Yifa.

If that thing rolled over him, Lui Yifa’s manhood would be turned into a pool of bloody pulp.

"Those animals..."

"I hate that we’re powerless to help Afa..."

"Boss, why haven’t you appeared yet? Afa is about to die, hurry up and come..."

Si Xiaosheng, Yulan Tianpeng, Little White, and the others looked on with anxiety and rage. But with powerful experts like Zhao Qinghuo nearby, they were helpless. They watched as the Refined Iron wheel was about to crush Lui Yifa’s manhood, and one by one, they closed their eyes in frustration, unable to bear the sight.

"Heh heh heh, I refuse to believe you’ll still be so stubborn after I crush your family jewels..." Qian Luohao sneered viciously.

Just as the wheel was about to roll over Lui Yifa’s crotch.

But in that critical, hair-raising moment—

SWOOSH—

A golden gale descended from the sky! It was a giant hand condensed from True Essence, and it slapped viciously toward Qian Luohao.

SLAP!

The vicious, triumphant look hadn’t even faded from Qian Luohao’s face when the golden hand struck, sending him and his wheelchair flying.

THUD—

Qian Luohao flew back more than ten meters and crashed into the crowd, his wheelchair shattering on impact. Only the two Refined Iron wheels remained, rolling a couple of times before coming to a stop beside him.

"Who... Who dares to hit me?" Qian Luohao’s face was a mask of fury as he looked up and roared.

"I do."

A calm voice drifted down from the sky.

Following the sound, Qian Luohao looked up, and his expression changed drastically. "Jiang... Jiang... Jiang Chen?"

"What? Jiang Chen? How does he still dare to show up?"

"I thought he was hiding and wouldn’t dare come out, but he actually appeared!"

"How unwise! In the current situation, his appearance is a death sentence. Showing up now is just throwing his life away for nothing!"

A wave of discussion immediately broke out among the crowd.

Celestial Demon Canyon was now completely under the control of the Qinghuo Gang. Even the City Lord’s Mansion and the Red Flame Army didn’t dare to make a rash move.

For Jiang Chen to appear now was certain death!

Qian Luohao realized this as well, and the panic on his face transformed into a vicious glee. He sneered, "Jiang Chen, I can’t believe you actually dared to show yourself! Heh heh heh, Hell has no gates, yet you barge right in. Even if you grew wings today, you wouldn’t escape Celestial Demon Canyon!"

"Idiot."

Jiang Chen glanced at Qian Luohao before his gaze fell on Lui Yifa. His expression grew increasingly grim, and a chilling killing intent began to quietly spread.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

"B-Boss... I... I knew it... You... you would definitely come." Even with his fingers shattered, Lui Yifa, who hadn’t flinched in the face of death, now had bloody tears streaming from his eyes. "Boss, you have to avenge my Lui Family! Avenge my father!"

Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over the area, landing on a pile of corpses, and then on Lui Guan, whose limbs had been crippled, tongue cut out, and eyes gouged.

As he took in the entire scene, he paradoxically became much calmer.

He fed a pill to Lui Yifa to stabilize his injuries, then gently lifted him and handed him to Si Xiaosheng. A soft smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. "Afa, rest and heal up. Don’t you worry. I, your boss, will avenge the Lui Family for you. Anyone who had a hand in this will not live to see another day!"

"Boss, I believe you!"

Lui Yifa managed a difficult nod before passing out.

He was just too tired.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. He said to Si Xiaosheng, "Take good care of him!"

Before his words had even faded, Jiang Chen had already turned around. He raised a hand, telekinetically grabbing one of the Refined Iron wheels, and started walking toward Qian Luohao.

Qian Luohao’s face changed drastically. "Y-Y-You... What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Chen said flatly, "You wanted to know what it feels like to have a wheel roll over your crotch, right? I’ll grant your wish."

"N-N-No..."

Qian Luohao’s face was a mask of terror. His limbs were already crippled, so all he could do was writhe on the ground like an earthworm in a futile attempt to escape.

Jiang Chen was in no hurry. He approached Qian Luohao in a slow, deliberate manner.

He raised the wheel high in his hand and brought it down hard. With a dull THUD, it smashed directly onto Qian Luohao’s shoulder. Blood and bits of flesh flew everywhere as half of his shoulder caved in. Qian Luohao screamed in agony, "Don’t kill me, don’t... Brother Luoo, Brother Meng, save me, save me..."

"Jiang Chen, don’t you dare act so brazenly!"

"Stop!"

The two men’s expressions changed as they roared.

Jiang Chen casually waved his hand, sending out a slash of Sword Qi that carved a smoking trench in the ground. He barked coldly, "If you want to die, cross this line!"

The two men looked at each other, utterly stopped in their tracks by Jiang Chen’s threat. They didn’t dare take a single step across the sword mark.

Jiang Chen’s face was calm. He lifted the wheel high and brought it down hard again.

BANG!

His other shoulder was shattered.

BANG!

The ribs in his chest were all broken.

BANG!

His spine was snapped in two.

"Mercy, spare me... I’ll give you anything, just don’t kill me..." Qian Luohao, now little more than a pile of mangled flesh, screamed repeatedly.

Jiang Chen snorted coldly. "You hurt my brother. No matter what you offer, you can forget about living!" He aimed the blood-soaked wheel at Qian Luohao’s crotch and said flatly, "You wanted to know what it feels like to have a wheel smash your crotch, didn’t you? Open your eyes and watch closely. This is what it feels like!"

As he spoke...

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The wheel moved so fast in Jiang Chen’s hands that it left afterimages, smashing down again and again onto Qian Luohao’s crotch. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere as his entire lower body was pounded into a pulp. Qian Luohao had already died screaming, but Jiang Chen didn’t stop, repeatedly bringing the wheel down with savage force, sending up sprays of shredded meat and blood that included a finger-like, pitch-black object.

BANG! BANG! BANG...

Only when Qian Luohao had been completely flattened into a meat patty did Jiang Chen finally stop. He turned to the stunned-speechless Luoo Ri and Meng Qing and said flatly, "Now, it’s your turn."

A dead silence fell over Celestial Demon Canyon. Not a single sound could be heard.

A breeze blew past, ruffling the young man’s black hair and making his robes flutter. Only the blood-dripping wheel seemed to announce the powerful return of its wielder...
