The War of the Gods in the Great Void God King

The wooden door of the small stone house was tightly closed, isolating it from the fighting and roaring outside. The silence inside was terrifying, and the oppressive atmosphere made people feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Tao stood quietly at the door, his expression sinister.

Zhang Tao unleashed his full Qi Refining Peak spiritual power, enveloping the entire stone house and blocking all of Jiang Fan's paths in and out, giving him no chance to escape.

Zhang Tao's usual gentleness, pretense, and kindness had all vanished, leaving only extreme greed and ruthlessness.

A pair of eyes were fixed on the boy before him, as if he were staring at a unique, priceless treasure that was within his grasp.

The sect is in chaos, a Nascent Soul stage expert has appeared, and the entire Tianyuan Dao Sect is on the verge of destruction. Everyone is desperately trying to defend the sect and survive.

Jiang Fan, however, retreated to his residence and packed his belongings, preparing to escape amidst the chaos.

All of this was clearly seen by Zhang Tao, who was secretly monitoring the situation.

Since the incident at Fallen Soul Cliff, he has never stopped secretly spying on and monitoring Jiang Fan. He knows better than anyone that this seemingly useless boy with no spiritual roots has a heaven-defying opportunity and an unparalleled secret hidden within him.

After experiencing the sect competition, he became even more convinced.

Previously, with many people and eyes in the sect and elders gathered, he had always held back and dared not make a move rashly.

Now that the sect is in chaos and no one cares about this remote corner, it is the best time for him to seize the opportunity and eliminate Jiang Fan.

"Disciple, where are you planning to go?"

Zhang Tao spoke slowly, his voice cold and low, filled with sarcasm and mockery.

Jiang Fan stopped what he was doing, slowly turned around, his expression calm, but his eyes were already icy cold.

He knew in his heart that Zhang Tao had been biding his time and plotting for a long time, and that he could not avoid this confrontation today.

"Master, the sect is about to be destroyed. This disciple is powerless to reverse the situation and only wishes to protect myself and leave safely."

Jiang Fan spoke in a calm tone, pretending to be weak, helpless, submissive, and humble.

He had his own plans.

Lately, Zhang Tao has been using the "Gathering Qi and Dispersing Qi" technique to scheme against me, thinking he has already got me under control.

But from beginning to end, he was never tainted by a single drop of Qi-gathering powder.

Today is the day to put an end to this feud and eliminate this scourge.

"To protect oneself?"

Zhang Tao sneered coldly, slowly approaching step by step, the pressure of his peak Qi Refining spiritual power growing stronger and stronger.

"You possess unparalleled opportunities, a heaven-defying physical body, and domineering magical abilities; your destiny is exceptionally blessed."

"Such an incredible opportunity, you think you can just leave like that?"

"I have carefully nurtured you, given you the techniques and resources, and provided you with the opportunity to establish yourself in the sect."

"Everything you have, including your life and your opportunities, should belong to me!"

His eyes were greedy and burning, and his tone was forceful and domineering, leaving no room for negotiation.

"My good disciple, the Gathering Qi Powder that I gave you was actually a drug to control you."

"The effects of the Gathering Qi Powder have already seeped into your flesh and bone marrow; you will be under my control!"

"From now on, you will be my puppet, follow me away from this place, and help me break through the Foundation Establishment stage and strive for Core Formation."

"Submit obediently, and you may be allowed a proper burial later. If you dare to resist in the slightest, today will be your death day!"

Zhang Tao was absolutely certain that Jiang Fan was already under the influence of the drug and would have no power to resist once he took control of him.

In his eyes, the boy in front of him was nothing more than prey that he could control and harvest at any time.

An overwhelming barrage of spiritual energy enveloped Jiang Fan, and then Zhang Tao silently recited a control technique, attempting to subdue him instantly and gain complete control.

Seeing Zhang Tao's smug, greedy, and ruthless face, Jiang Fan's last bit of forbearance completely vanished.

Zhang Tao is greedy and narrow-minded. He has been scheming against him recently, pressing him step by step, and even used Sun Li to kill him. He has committed countless evils and deserves to die.

Having endured twelve years of silence, now possessing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and possessing extraordinary strength, he no longer needs to swallow his pride and be manipulated by others.

Faced with the spiritual energy binding his entire body and Zhang Tao's secret technique, Jiang Fan swayed slightly and immediately pretended that the secret technique had activated the effects of the drug, making him feel weak and listless, and his eyes were dull and unfocused. He perfectly portrayed the weak state of being controlled by the poison.

"As expected, they had already been controlled by the drug and were utterly vulnerable."

Seeing this, Zhang Tao completely let down his guard, withdrew the spiritual power he had been suppressing, and with a disdainful look on his face, he raised his hand, intending to capture Jiang Fan directly and make him his puppet.

"In the end, he is still a useless person without spiritual roots. Even if he has a lucky chance, he will not escape my grasp."

But right now.

Zhang Tao was within three feet of him, completely unprepared and relaxed, and the opportunity presented itself perfectly.

Jiang Fan's dull eyes suddenly flashed with a chilling light, and the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King of the Void within his body was fully activated without reservation.

An extremely restrained yet domineering dragon's might erupted, and immense power converged entirely in its right arm.

Fine golden scales covered Jiang Fan's entire arm, and a ferocious, sharp golden dragon claw took shape, revealing its full power.

At this moment, Jiang Fan's speed was so fast that his trajectory could not be detected by the naked eye.

"Pfft!"

A piercing sound of something breaking suddenly rang out.

The sharp golden dragon claws instantly tore through Zhang Tao's thin spiritual energy shield, pierced through his flesh and bones, and went straight through his chest.

Warm blood gushed out wildly, and Zhang Tao's internal organs shattered instantly.

"You...how could this be...the effects of the drug...you clearly..."

Zhang Tao's pupils suddenly dilated, his face filled with extreme terror, disbelief, and endless resentment.

His body stiffened on the spot, his spiritual energy dissipated, and his life force rapidly faded away.

He had been planning for a long time, calculating every step, thinking he had everything under control, but in the end, it was all a deception.

This boy, whom he had underestimated and thought he could easily defeat, actually possessed terrifying strength that could kill him instantly.

"Gathering Qi Dispersing?"

Jiang Fan's eyes were icy cold, and his voice was completely flat.

"You plotted and schemed, trying to harm me step by step, but unfortunately, I didn't drink a single drop."

"Zhang Tao, you coveted my opportunities and tried to take my life several times. Today, you die here, and it is all your own doing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fan suddenly twisted his wrist.

The golden dragon claw tore fiercely, instantly shredding all the meridians and bones in the opponent's chest cavity.

Zhang Tao let out a final, piercing scream before losing all hope of survival.

Even though his cultivation level far surpassed that of Sun Li and Zhao Mang, who had previously been defeated, he was a genuine peak Qi Refining cultivator.

Even when caught off guard at close range and subjected to a full-force sneak attack from the Golden Dragon Claw, an unbeatable opponent at the same Qi Refining level, there is still no chance of turning the tide.

Jiang Fan slowly withdrew the dragon claw.

Zhang Tao's aged body crashed heavily to the ground, his blood staining the bluestone, and he died a gruesome death.

A scheming sect elder, harboring malicious intentions, ultimately met a tragic end at the hands of the very boy he despised.

Silence returned to the small stone house, with only a faint smell of blood lingering in the air.

Jiang Fan's golden dragon claws completely disappeared, his aura returned to normal, and he transformed back into that seemingly ordinary young man, showing no signs of abnormality.

He glanced down at the corpse on the ground, his heart unmoved.

Then, Jiang Fan acted swiftly and decisively, quickly cleaning up all signs of the struggle inside the house, wiping away the bloodstains on the floor, and properly disposing of Zhang Tao's body, leaving no trace or clue.
