Chapter 1137: Character Setup Super Stable

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Fan approached the unconscious Zong Chaosheng. Raising his purple sword, he brought it down without a word. He had no mercy for someone who would betray teammates to save themselves, especially one in such a high position. Such a person's future treachery would be far more harmful than that of an ordinary traitor.

However, as his sword struck, a burst of golden runes erupted from Zong Chaosheng's neck. It was clearly his life-saving talisman. This was why, unlike others, he hadn't been directly teleported back to the starting point under the influence of bad luck and misfortune earlier; the talisman had been at work. Now, sensing its host's life was in danger, it activated even more fiercely. A blinding golden light momentarily blocked the purple sword, simultaneously rousing the unconscious Zong Chaosheng.

He glanced around in confusion, then saw Jiang Fan raising his sword to strike him, which startled him. "Are you crazy?" he exclaimed. "You're trying to kill me?"

Jiang Fan's heart tightened. Zong Chaosheng knew a bit of the Cursed Tongue. If Zong Chaosheng exposed his real name, Jiang Fan's feigned amnesia would be instantly shattered. There was no telling how the Space Giant King and Luck Giant King, once they realized they had been tricked, would torture him. Green Pearl would surely tear him limb from limb, burn him to ashes, then wrap the ashes in buns to feed to dogs, and finally use the dog's waste to fertilize the garden, effectively disposing of him without a trace.

Therefore, Jiang Fan struck with exceptional ruthlessness. "Indestructible Blade!" At close range, a massive lightning sword descended from the sky. The radiant golden runes were unexpectedly pierced through. The lightning sword continued its descent, striking the already severely injured Zong Chaosheng, blackening his chest and exposing his internal organs. "Ah!" Suffering another immense blow, Zong Chaosheng roared in pain. "Jiang Fan! You bastard! You wouldn't let me join the Ancient Giants, but you're climbing up yourself!"

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed. This scoundrel still didn't understand why he wanted to kill him! He roared in the Cursed Tongue, "Silence! Anyone who harms my wife, Green Pearl, shall be mercilessly slain!" Immediately, he conjured the Five Magnetic Primordial Mountain and unleashed its divine light to strike.

Witnessing Jiang Fan's ferocity, the Space Giant King and Luck Giant King no longer harbored any doubts. Instead, they were somewhat surprised; this man was truly a doting husband. He was fighting so desperately for Green Pearl. Even Green Pearl was a little moved. He protected a "fake wife" with no memories so fiercely. What about a real wife, with memories and feelings? Wouldn't he truly become an enemy of the world for her? Thinking this, she felt Jiang Fan wasn't so hateful after all. As a husband, he was actually quite competent.

Zong Chaosheng also sensed the immense danger. His legs had been blown off, and he had sustained continuous severe injuries in the maze ruins. At this point, his strength was probably inferior even to a Five-Aperture Nascent Soul. How could he possibly withstand Jiang Fan's furious assault? In this critical moment, he looked towards the two Giant Kings. The only way to save himself now was to betray Jiang Fan! As for how to betray him, it was simple: Jiang Fan could move the Heaven-Connecting Dark Pillar. That single fact would be enough to seal Jiang Fan's doom!

Boom! The divine light of the Five Magnetic Mountain enveloped Zong Chaosheng, instantly pinning him down beneath the mountain. He spat out a large mouthful of blood with a cry. With eyes full of malice, he roared, "Jiang Fan! I'll take you down with me!" He hurriedly looked at the two Giant Kings and yelled in his broken Cursed Tongue, "Your Majesties, I want to tell you..."

"Immeasurable Ring!" Jiang Fan's expression changed. He knew this scoundrel would try to bite him fiercely! He decisively activated the Immeasurable Ring. An immense suppressive force bore down on Zong Chaosheng, instantly creating a pit several yards deep around him. Zong Chaosheng's body was crushed, his bones shattered, and blood spurted from everywhere. He even looked somewhat flattened. But the golden runes on his neck protected his last spark of life, keeping him alive!

Zong Chaosheng gazed at Jiang Fan with a mocking, venomous look. His eyes conveyed: "You're finished!" He opened his mouth, about to complete his sentence. "Dark Heaven Eye!" The moment he opened his mouth, Jiang Fan precisely timed it. His eyes shot out arm-thick beams of bloody lightning, which plunged directly into Zong Chaosheng's mouth! Startled, Zong Chaosheng instinctively closed his mouth. *Puff!* His lips were torn apart, his teeth completely knocked out. Just as his tongue was about to be burned off, the golden runes protected it in time, saving it!

Jiang Fan's heart sank. "This damned talisman!"

Zong Chaosheng sneered, speaking in the Cursed Tongue: "Can move the Heaven-Connecting Dark Pillar!"

However, to Jiang Fan's surprise, with his teeth gone and his tongue injured, Zong Chaosheng's words were slurred and unclear. Coupled with his already incomprehensible, broken Cursed Tongue, neither Green Pearl nor the two Giant Kings could understand what he was saying.

Green Pearl asked, confused, "Wang Chongxiao... oh, husband, what is he saying? Why does he look like he's desperate to tell us something?"

The two Giant Kings also looked bewildered.

Without hesitation, Jiang Fan replied, "He's saying that even if you kill one Zong Chaosheng, there are thousands upon thousands more in Taicang Great State. Your Southern Heavenly Realm won't be able to crush us!"

The two Giant Kings remained silently unamused. Green Pearl's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. "He's quite a defiant man. Husband, give him a swift end."

Upon hearing this, Zong Chaosheng's lungs nearly burst with rage. Had he heard correctly? Why was this Asura King calling Jiang Fan "husband"? They were all here in the Southern Heavenly Realm for reconnaissance, and they were all affected by bad luck. Why did *he* have to die, while Jiang Fan got to embrace a beautiful, Soul Transformation Realm Asura wife? And what's more! Why was the Asura King calling Jiang Fan "Wang Chongxiao"? Had Jiang Fan deceived the Asura King? This bastard had thrived at the Jian family, and Zong Chaosheng had endured it. He had taken center stage before the Heaven-Connecting Dark Pillar, and Zong Chaosheng had endured that too. Now, in the Southern Heavenly Realm, the Ancient Giants' lair, how was he still thriving? Was there no justice in this world?!

Zong Chaosheng furiously roared: "His name is Jiang Fan! Not Wang Chongxiao! He's deceiving you! Kill him quickly! Hurry!"

Green Pearl frowned. "What's he saying now? Why does he seem so angry?"

Jiang Fan replied, "He's saying that in eighteen years, he'll still be a formidable man. By then, he'll invade the Southern Heavenly Realm and wipe out all the Ancient Giants."

The Space Giant King's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Then this king will be waiting for you!" With that thought, he instantly acted. Zong Chaosheng, still roaring, exploded from the inside out into a mist of blood.

Jiang Fan dodged in time and complained, "I said I would kill him! My wife should be protected by me! Why did you interfere?"

Green Pearl quickly pulled him closer, soothing him. "Alright, alright. My dear husband's intentions have been fully received by me. Thank you."

Jiang Fan secretly smiled. This outcome was very satisfying. He had fully established himself as a doting husband and passed their test. And Zong Chaosheng hadn't died by his hand, leaving him with absolutely no future troubles. He embraced Green Pearl, wondering what this woman hoped to gain by trying so hard to control him. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Now that the one who bullied you is gone, Green Pearl, my dear wife, let's go back to our room. I want to try and recover some husbandly memories with you."

The two Giant Kings almost spat out blood! *These* were words they were allowed to hear?!
