"It's me."
Those two short words resounded like thunder, resonating through the ears of everyone in the venue, leaving them stunned and bewildered.
Even Xiao Zhan, at the auction table, was taken aback.
He was the battle-hardened Deputy Commander of the Western Territory, having fought alongside the Western Territory's King Xiaoyao throughout history, yet Jiang Chen's roar had also stunned him. For a moment, he was unable to react.
When he finally came to his senses, he saw a man walk in.
The man wore a black ghost mask, and a chill emanated from him.
This chill seemed to drop the temperature of the entire venue by several degrees.
"Is it him?"
"The ghost-faced man who killed Xiao Biehe!"
Many of the celebrities in the venue reacted, and seeing Jiang Chen approach, their faces paled with fear.
The scene of Xiao Bin's arm being broken, Xiao Biehe's head severed, and his body lying in a pool of blood, half a month ago, flashed back to everyone's mind.
"It's you?" Xiao Zhan's face darkened.
He had seen the ghost-faced man in the Xiao family's surveillance video; it was the man who had killed his father.
"A remnant of the Jiang family?" Xiao Zhan stared intently at the approaching Jiang Chen. Although he was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Western Territory and a veteran of countless battles, he sensed a solemn murderous aura from him.
Jiang Chen wore a black ghost mask, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.
When Xiao Hei, following behind him, saw Tang Chuchu, lying on the auction table, her face covered in blood, his heart skipped a beat.
He knew that today, this place would be a river of blood.
He had followed Jiang Chen for many years and knew his temper well.
What Jiang Chen cared about most were the brothers who had shared life and death with him.
Besides that, there was the girl who saved his life, the one he never forgot, the girl who had pulled him from the sea of fire.
For Tang Chuchu, he had given up his greatest honor. If he hadn't given up, with his prestige, he would surely have become the leader of the Five Great Marshals in the future.
Now, Xiao Zhan had the audacity to treat Tang Chuchu like this.
A dragon has a reverse scale; touching it is fatal!
Jiang Chen's reverse scale was Tang Chuchu!
Xiao Zhan must die, no one could save him!
Even if King Xiaoyao himself dared to stand in his way, he would die!
A deathly silence fell over the vast venue.
Jiang Chen and Xiao Zhan stared at each other.
Under this terrifying aura, even Xiao Zhan, the battle-hardened deputy commander, felt a flicker of fear, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Jiang Chen reached behind his waist and pulled out a thin wire.
Tightening the wire, made from silver needles, he walked towards the auction table, under the gazes of many.
Thump, thump, thump!
His leather shoes made a rhythmic sound as they touched the ground.
Every step he took sent a shudder through the hearts of the people in the meeting room.
At the end, as if by an earthquake, some of the tables and chairs began to tremble.
"Black, black..."
Xiao Zhan saw the thin wire made of silver needles in Jiang Chen's hand, and fear crossed his face.
He remembered someone. There was only one person in the world who could use silver needles to form a steel wire and wield it as a weapon!
Swish!
Jiang Chen struck, and the wire in his hand instantly split, shattering into silver needles that shot out, accurately piercing Xiao Zhan's brow. The needles then flew back, reuniting into a thin wire.
The wire was stained with traces of blood.
Xiao Zhan uttered only one word: black.
He never uttered those two words until his death.
But at the moment of death, he regretted it!
He had seen Jiang Chen's wire on the surveillance camera, but the distance was too far, so he couldn't see it clearly!
If he had seen it clearly, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to bother Tang Chuchu!
This was Black Dragon!
The Black Dragon, renowned throughout the Southern Wilds, one of the Five Great Marshals, on par with his superior!
But he knew that, despite their fame, ten Free and Easy Kings combined were no match for a single Black Dragon!
Under the horrified gazes of many, Xiao Zhan slowly collapsed without a single cry of pain.
Tang Chuchu lay on the auction block.
In a trance, she saw a face wearing a ghost mask.
The owner of the ghost mask walked towards her. She tried to see it clearly, to remember it, but she lost too much blood, her brain was spinning, and she passed out.
Before she fainted, she felt a pair of strong hands lift her up.
"Leave no Western Border soldiers alive, and do not let any of the Xiao family members move. I will teach them what despair is, and I will make them die in despair."
Jiang Chen, holding the unconscious Tang Chuchu, walked out of the venue, his cold and ruthless voice echoing throughout the arena.
The fully armed soldiers on both sides of the arena were terrified to see the deputy commander lying on the ground in a pool of blood, their bodies trembling with fear.
Xiao Hei, receiving Jiang Chen's order, walked over. His windbreaker fluttered, and he reached to his waist, releasing a flurry of flying knives.
Swish, swish, swish!
The flying knives flew out continuously.
Two Western Border soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
Xiao Hei left and went to the back of the venue. Every Western Border soldier fell to the ground instantly, unable to even fight back.
The vast venue fell into a dead silence.
The prominent figures in Jiangzhong squatted on the ground, their hands covering their heads, not daring to move.
After about ten minutes, someone finally mustered the courage to stand. Seeing Xiao Zhan and the Western Frontier Army soldiers lying in a pool of blood, they all gasped.
The rest of the Xiao family was terrified, too afraid to utter a single word.
At that moment, they were utterly terrified!
The words, "Don't kill any of the Xiao family! I want them to know what despair is, to die in despair," echoed in their minds.
Someone reacted quickly and called the police.
The police quickly arrived, found the trapped Tang family members, and released them.
They then set up surveillance at the scene, began questioning them, and took statements.
