Jiang Chengyue was grabbed by Wen Chengjun by the throat, theoretically he shouldn't have acted rashly.

But he couldn't bear the fact that his parents were poisoned, and he was threatened with his own life. When Wen Chengjun turned to instruct his subordinates, Jiang Chengyue struck back.

Wen Chengjun used his Crescent Moon Blade to block Jiang Chengyue's attack. In an instant, the two were entangled in a fight.

Although Jiang Chengyue was poisoned and his internal strength was dissipating, the unique internal strength of the Jiang family still supported him through several rounds of fighting.

Wen Chengjun smiled, teasing Jiang Chengyue like a cat playing with a mouse, wearing him out until Jiang Chengyue had no strength left, then he struck him down with a palm.

"Stop!" Seeing Wen Chengjun about to take Jiang Chengyue's life, I couldn't hold back any longer and spoke out to stop him.

"Oh, I thought you would hide for longer. You couldn't hold back so quickly?" Wen Chengjun paused, mocking me with a smile.

"Since you have no intention of delivering a message to me, I will come to take it myself." Wen Chengjun made a neck-slitting gesture, "As long as you kill Jiang Chengyue for me, I will spare your life, and even remove the poison from your body, making you my right-hand man!"

"Ah Nian?" The Lady of the City Lord was shocked, looking at me with distrust in her eyes.

I stood frozen in place, not moving.

Seeming impatient, Wen Chengjun flicked his sleeve, activating the hidden gu worms within. Instantly, the excruciating pain swept through my body once again.

I fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably, my face turning red, veins bulging, this attack was fiercer than any previous poison outbreak.

Wen Chengjun was threatening me with my life to make me submit to him.

I endured the pain, not even letting out a whimper, my fingers digging into my thigh, tearing at my own flesh.

"In that case, then..." Wen Chengjun raised his Crescent Moon Blade.

Just when I thought he was going to give me a quick death, the blade turned and plunged straight into Jiang Chengyue's chest.

"Ah Yue!" The Lady of the City Lord screamed in shock, scrambling towards her son.

Trembling, she forcefully covered Jiang Chengyue's wound.

The blood gushed out uncontrollably, the Lady of the City Lord's hands unable to stop the flow. Before long, Jiang Chengyue lay motionless, becoming a lifeless corpse.
