Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 556 Basong's Last Trump Card
The emperor died with resentment in his heart. His body fell to the ground, and those around him looked at Gematai, who had killed him, and asked, "Why did you kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Gematai said, "Why are you looking at me like this? It was Master Chen who told me to do this."

Du Xiong frowned slightly and asked, "My lord?"

Gematai said, "Before the battle, Master Chen told me that if I saw a scarecrow pattern on the back of this person's neck, I should kill him immediately!"

"scarecrow?"

The group didn't quite understand why the scarecrow had to be killed, but they knew that since Chen Jie had ordered it, there must be a deeper reason. They exchanged glances and said, "The dog emperor is dead. The rest is simple. Go and hand over the palace!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the room immediately agreed: "That's right, let's storm the palace first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed into the palace. By this time, the emperor was already dead, and the people in the field had completely lost the desire to continue fighting. So they rushed into the palace in a flash, and there were no decent resistances throughout the process.

At this moment, in the pine forest behind the palace, Basong looked at Chen Jie and laughed, "Zhu Chongba, I admit you are very strong, but what's the use? Even if you have the same strength as me, it's useless, because I have two spare lives, plus this one, making a total of three lives."

"You only have one life, do you think you can beat me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Basong and said, "Who told you I only have one life? Even a tiny place like Siam has the art of substitution. Do you think I don't have the art of substitution in China?"

Basong chuckled upon hearing this, "Hehe, Zhu Chongba, do you think I'm not from the Central Plains? I am from the Central Plains, and I'm not ignorant about it. What substitute technique? If the Central Plains had such a technique, it would have been known to the martial arts world long ago, and half of it would still be hidden."

"You don't need to lie to me. Let me give you a piece of advice: sometimes, if you tell too many lies, you won't know whether they're lies or the truth!"

Basong spoke up, and upon hearing this, Chen Jie squinted and said, "You don't believe in my immortality? Then how do you explain my immortality through the use of divine blood?"

Basong frowned upon hearing this, and after a long while, he said, "Hehe, even if you are immortal, your immortality must have a great flaw."

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Flaw? What flaw?"

Basong said, "The last time you used the Immortal Blood was in the Hidden Dragon Abyss. After the battle in the Hidden Dragon Abyss, you remained silent for more than a month. What did you do during that month?"

Chen Jie frowned slightly, while Basong chuckled and said, "Did I stump you? Do you dare tell me where you went?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie pondered for a moment and asked, "Where do you think I went?"

Basong said, "Hehe, you must have gone to heal your injuries, or you need a month's buffer period after using your immortality, while mine doesn't need that; my immortality can be activated immediately."

"As long as I keep you occupied, even if it means we both perish, I can recover instantly, while you'll need a month to heal. During that time, I can grab you, cut off your limbs, gouge out your eyes and tongue, and turn you into a human pig. I won't let you die, and of course, you might not actually die, but I'll definitely make you wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing Basong's words, Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "Basong, I must say, you really know how to create an immortal body."

"But do you think you can defeat me easily?"

"I told you, I'm willing to risk my life to die with you."

Basong stared intently at Chen Jie and said, "So, I advise you not to fight to the death; it won't be a good thing for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie smiled and said to Basong, "Basong, I must say, what you said is indeed a problem, and it's enough to give me a headache. But Basong, you're not perfect either; you have weaknesses too, don't you?"

"If I find your straw doll substitute and kill him beforehand, then you won't be immortal, will you?"

"Haha... You think you can find my immortal body ahead of time?"

"I know, for some reason the Snow Woman may have told one of my substitutes, the Poison Woman, but she only knew this one substitute. You would never dream of the other two."

"Is the emperor just your straw doll?"

Chen Jie spoke directly, and upon hearing this, Basong's eyes widened suddenly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Heh, what are you joking about? How could the emperor be my substitute?"

Chen Jie had just carefully observed Basong's micro-expressions. He had noticed the small movement of Basong's eyes suddenly widening. Therefore, he was immediately certain that the emperor was indeed his double. Otherwise, Basong would not have widened his eyes upon hearing the news.

Chen Jie instantly realized he had guessed correctly, and thought to himself that it should be soon. Judging from Fang Zheng's speed, they should have started their attack by now. Since they had started their attack, they should be making contact with the emperor soon. So, it should be about time to deal with the emperor.

Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at Basong and said, "Hehe, Basong, you don't need to deny it. Your expression just now has already betrayed you. That emperor must be one of your stand-ins!"

Upon hearing this, Basong took a deep breath and said, "Zhu Chongba, don't talk nonsense. How could the emperor possibly... Pfft..."

Basong was about to say a few more words in his defense, but the next moment he spat out a mouthful of blood, then stared at Chen Jie in disbelief, saying, "You..."

Seeing Basong's expression, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Grand Preceptor, it seems that the emperor was indeed your double. I guessed right, hehe..."

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, Basong suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and glared at Chen Jie, saying, "Zhu Chongba, you bastard, you, cough cough..."

Chen Jie looked at Basong and said, "Haha, it seems you only have two lives left!"

"enough!"

"I'll risk losing another life to take you down. I'll turn you into a human pig, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Hearing Basong's hysterical roar, Chen Jie remained calm. He looked at Basong and said, "Hehehe, Basong, do you have the ability to compare me to a human?"

"Why don't you try and see? I have two lives, but you only have one!"

Basong roared, and seeing his hysterical state, Chen Jie knew he was really anxious. Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, preparing to meet Basong's attack, but then he suddenly heard a voice.

"Basong, your life is here!"

This shout startled not only Basong but also Chen Jie. The two turned around almost simultaneously and saw a woman in white standing on a large rock not far away, yelling angrily at Basong.

Basong then turned his head and saw the Snow Woman. A hint of excitement appeared on his face as he exclaimed, "Snow Woman! You've come!"

As he spoke, he was about to abandon Chen Jie and head straight for Xue Nu, but then he heard Xue Nu shout, "Stop!"

Tread!

Basong abruptly stopped in his tracks, then looked at the Snow Maiden and said, "Snow Maiden, what are you going to do!"

Basong looked at the Snow Woman in alarm, only to see that the Snow Woman had already pressed a dagger against her heart.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll stab you!"

"Ah Xue! Why, why are you doing this?"

Basong looked at the Snow Woman and said, "Basong, I once said that whoever wants to kill you will have to step over my dead body."

"So I became your straw doll substitute. Today I want to kill you, but you can't get past me. That won't do. My father said that a man should keep his word. Today I want to kill you, but I'll first step on my own body!"

The Snow Woman glared at Basong and shouted, "You, what exactly do you want?" Basong clenched his fists and said, "You, what do you want?"

The Snow Woman said, "How many times have I told you, I want you dead! I want you dead!"

The Snow Woman spoke excitedly, her hand holding the dagger to her heart with unwavering resolve, as if she were about to plunge it in at any moment.

"No, Xue, don't be impulsive!"

Basong shouted excitedly. Upon hearing this, the Snow Maiden said, "Don't move! Just stay there and don't move!"

Seeing him like this, Basong said, "What, what do you want? What do you want?"

"Ah Xue, have you forgotten everything? You said we would be together forever, never to be separated for all eternity. Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten?"

Basong said to the Snow Maiden.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Maiden looked at Basong and said, "Basong, I did say that, but you know what you did. The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable, and cannot be compared to small favors or love. Today, I will avenge the murder of my father!"

"If you want revenge, kill me. Why would you kill yourself? Put the knife down."

The Snow Woman looked at Basong and said, "Hehe, stop lying to me. If I don't kill myself, how could I possibly kill you? I hope I won't meet you again in my next life!"

No sooner had the Snow Woman finished speaking than she plunged a knife directly into the heart. The entire process was seamless and without any hesitation; the knife pierced right through the heart.

"no no……"

Seeing the Snow Woman commit suicide in front of him, Basong went completely insane, roaring madly at the Snow Woman's corpse.

His eyes were completely red, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, making him look utterly gruesome. At this moment, he used all his strength to rush towards the Snow Woman, whose corpse had already begun to grow cold. The Snow Woman's eyes were not on him, but on Chen Jie. Chen Jie saw relief and the smug joy of victory in her eyes.

Her death took away Basong's last substitute straw doll. Now Basong is just an ordinary martial artist at the second level of the Fusion God realm, no longer the Siamese national master with an immortal body.

The Snow Woman used her death to bring Basong from the realm of gods to the human world, turning him from an immortal deity into an ordinary person once again.

For this reason alone, the Snow Woman is truly remarkable, and Chen Jie expressed his sincere gratitude to her.

At this moment, Basong embraced the Snow Maiden and held her in his arms, just like when they were in love. He frantically poured his inner energy into the Snow Maiden's body, but he still couldn't stop the horrific wounds of her ruptured heart and bleeding.

Basong's voice choked with sobs as he cried out, "Ah Xue, Ah Xue, why did you do this? Why!"

"Ah Xue, answer me, answer me!"

Basong roared in a pitiful voice as he held the Snow Woman in his arms. The Snow Woman's white clothes were already stained red with blood. At this moment, she opened her mouth and said in an extremely weak voice, "Perhaps, perhaps it was all a misunderstanding from the day we met!"

"Ah, no, no..."

After saying this, the Snow Woman completely lost her life force. As the Snow Woman's life force was drained away, Basong visibly aged.

The substitute straw doll allows the master to use the straw doll host to save their life. However, if many straw doll hosts die before the straw doll master in a single day, they will also cause some backlash to the straw doll hosts. Of course, it is not too serious, but it is unbearable if it happens too often. In less than half an incense stick's time, Basong lost his last two substitute straw dolls in succession.

He truly suffered an unprecedented blow.

This caused Basong's hair to turn gray instantly, and his skin to become loose, making him look like an old man.

At this moment, Basong held the Snow Maiden's corpse, silently shedding a string of bloody tears. He then put the Snow Maiden's corpse down and said, "Snow Maiden, you were wrong. I was never wrong."

"Falling in love with you is not my fault. I killed the person who was blocking my pursuit of love for the sake of love, and that was not wrong either. The ones who have been wrong have always been you, not me. I am not wrong!"

Basong roared angrily. Chen Jie looked at Basong like this and slowly walked over and said, "I'm sorry, although I don't want to interrupt your self-pity at this time, it's time for me to deal with you!"

brush!
Basong's eyes suddenly fell on Chen Jie, and in an instant, Chen Jie felt his gaze fall on him as if it were a physical object, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Zhu Chongba, I want you dead!"

The next moment, Basong rushed towards Chen Jie like a madman. Chen Jie looked at the frenzied Basong and said helplessly, "I didn't kill the person, why are you looking at me like that!"

Chen Jie felt wronged, but Basong didn't care about that at all. He rushed towards Chen Jie like a madman and then threw a punch that was even more powerful than the previous punch.

Chen Jie took the punch head-on and was sent flying.

boom……

With a single punch, Chen Jie was sent flying backward. Basong immediately followed, appearing behind Chen Jie before striking him in the back.

Seeing this, Chen Jie immediately performed a somersault and blocked Basong's attack.

Chen Jie was blasted away again, and Basong immediately attacked him again, like a mad dog. Chen Jie looked at Basong in this state and said with a cold look on his face, "That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Basong completely ignored it and launched another fierce attack on Chen Jie.

Seeing this, Chen Jie knew he couldn't continue to passively take the beating, so he raised his hand, and the next moment a dragon's roar resounded. Immediately afterward, Chen Jie directly unleashed a palm strike of the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms [Dragon Battle in the Wild].

A deafening roar echoed as the dragon charged toward Basong. Basong, seeing this, did not flinch. He clenched his fists, roared, and a layer of black poison coating appeared on his body.

At this moment, Basong roared and dodged Chen Jie's [Dragon Fighting in the Wild] with the speed of a ghost. He then turned his hands into claws and swung his poisonous claws directly at Chen Jie.

Sizzle la la~
Its claws, gleaming with a bluish-black venomous light, suddenly lashed out, tearing through the air like a viper's tongue. The venom churned on its body, almost obscuring its face. It moved swiftly, and wherever it passed, branches fell bitterly, the ground caved in, and even the air became viscous, as if countless invisible vipers were weaving through it, tearing, and devouring everything in their path.

Where the willows pass, not a blade of grass remains, and all things wither.

This is Basong's strongest martial art, Xiangliu Divine Skill. At this moment, Basong attacked Chen Jie. Chen Jie focused his mind and concentrated his energy in his dantian. His eyes suddenly widened, and the next moment, he poured his qi into his arms and then directly pushed forward the strongest palm of the Eighteen Palms of Capturing Dragon: "The Dragon Regrets!"

The palm wind unfolded like a fan, and the pale golden energy transformed into a barrier. The roars of dragons echoed across the sky, and a golden dragon coiled out, directly attacking Basong with an indomitable momentum.

The strongest of the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms is the "Regretful Dragon" palm. This palm technique combines the advantages of all the previous eighteen palms, so it is not only powerful but also has various internal forces linked together.

At this moment, a palm strike was unleashed, containing various changes in internal energy.

At that moment, a palm suddenly struck Basong, who was propelled backward by the force and crashed into a boulder with a loud bang, shattering the boulder.

However, Basong was not affected by the boulder. Taking advantage of the dust and smoke from the broken boulder, his body twisted again and moved along the ground like a venomous snake, rushing directly to Chen Jie's feet.

It then transformed into a venomous snake and lunged directly at Chen Jie's back.

At the critical moment, Chen Jie suddenly turned around, crossed his palms, palms down, channeled his energy into his dantian, and unleashed a powerful burst of energy like a volcanic eruption, directly striking Basong's head with a deafening thud.

Upon seeing this, Basong immediately planted his feet on the ground and leaped dozens of meters away. Once there, Basong turned around and struck Chen Jie with a backhand palm strike.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie was startled and immediately unleashed a series of attacks on Basong. Basong met Chen Jie's palm strikes head-on, taking more than a dozen blows.

At this moment, Chen Jie and Basong exchanged a few more palm strikes. The next moment, their strength reached a balance. Then, with a loud bang, they were both shaken and forced to take a few steps back.

At this moment, Basong was completely covered in venom, with only his eyes showing as he looked at Chen Jie with icy eyes and said, "Zhu Chongba, I must say you are quite formidable, but this is far from enough!"

With a roar, Basong suddenly unleashed all his inner energy, which shot straight into the sky. The next moment, lightning appeared in the air, and with the appearance of the lightning, a three-headed giant snake appeared directly behind Basong.

Three-headed willow!

Seeing this, Chen Jie knew that Basong was preparing to fight him to the death, even releasing his martial arts phantom. Thinking of this, Chen Jie clenched his fist, and the next moment, endless green light appeared on his body. Then, a green martial arts phantom appeared behind Chen Jie.

That's right, it's the God of Spring.

The secrets of the four seasons and celestial phenomena: the image of the Spring God appears.

Upon seeing this, Basong clearly sensed a terrifying surge of life force. Basong took a deep breath, and the next moment, with a roar, the three-headed giant snake behind him suddenly gained another head, becoming a four-headed giant snake.

Ouch...

The giant serpent roared madly, its voice filled with unprecedented ferocity, heading straight for Chen Jie. Chen Jie clearly felt this fierce aura, and with a grit of his teeth, he activated his second divine statue. The next moment, an overwhelming heat appeared, and then a god of fire suddenly appeared behind Chen Jie. That's right, it was the fire god Zhu Rong.

The statue of Zhurong, with its eyes wide open in anger, confronted the four giant snakes directly. For a moment, it suppressed the four giant snakes, making them unable to move. Clearly, the four-headed Xiangliu was no match for the statue of Zhurong.

At this moment, Basong's gaze became serious again. The next moment, he roared, and then the venom on his body rose up again. The next moment, the Xiangliu statue behind him sprouted another head, making it a five-headed Xiangliu.

At this point, Xiang Liu's power had become quite terrifying, and it once again suppressed Chen Jie.

Chen Jie took a deep breath, and the next moment he made a hand seal. Immediately, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. As the snowflakes fell, the entire world became silent and deathly white.

In this solemn and pale atmosphere, a goddess emerged, dignified and composed, with an elegant demeanor, like a goddess from the heavens, cold and mysterious. Yes, this was the Winter Goddess Xuanming.

As soon as Xuanming appeared, the entire world turned a bit colder. Seeing this, Basong's eyes widened suddenly. He was already very close to his limit. His limit was six heads, and now he had five, yet he still couldn't overwhelm his opponent in terms of aura.

At this moment, Basong roared, "Ah, six heads emerge!"

With a shout, a six-headed giant serpent appeared behind him. It was indeed the Six-Headed Xiangliu, roaring to the sky, displaying its power.

Seeing its appearance, Chen Jie took a deep breath and immediately said, "The Spring God merges with the Winter God, the Winter God is enraged!"

After speaking, the Spring God directly merged into Xuanming's body. The next moment, Xuanming's statue suddenly became enormous, and its aura was no weaker than that of the Six-Headed Minister Liu.

Seeing this, Basong knew that he would not have the upper hand if he fought now. At this moment, he stared at Chen Jie and said, "Don't think you can beat me like this. You are still far from being able to beat me."

After saying that, he suddenly threw two pills into his mouth. The next moment, his whole body began to change wildly. His muscles bulged, his eyes bulged, and dark red blood flowed from his mouth. It was obvious that he had taken some kind of banned drug.

Then, a wild, furious roar erupted from his mouth: "Ah..."

With a series of angry roars, the six-headed willow behind him began to change drastically, and a head slowly grew out of its body.

"Seven, seven poems!"

The next moment, Basong roared, and another head appeared. Seven Prime Minister Liu appeared behind Basong. Basong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, you can die!"

Having said that, he unleashed all his power, urging the seven prime ministers to launch a fierce attack on Chen Jie!
