Chapter 1604: Evil Crow Venerable's Punishment

Jiang Fan said indifferently, "Ruthless?"

"Are you referring to your ruthlessness in trying to kill me the first time we met?"

"Or when you tried to kill me again to steal True Word Venerable?"

"Or when you ambushed me from behind and severed my arm while I was fighting the Giant King?"

"Or perhaps when you failed to destroy my Tianji Pavilion by luring a two-star Giant King, and then tried to kill me yourself?"

"You've committed all sorts of evil deeds, yet when retribution comes, you blame others for being too cruel?"

"Even at the brink of death, you show no remorse."

"Killing you is truly too merciful!"

Evil Raven Venerable remained unfazed, his eyes gleaming with ferocity as he let out a long laugh:

"At that time, I was a Venerable. What was wrong with killing an ant like you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"I accept my fate, now that I've fallen into your hands."

"Do whatever you want with me—kill or dismember—but don't think I'll beg for mercy!"

Jiang Fan said nothing more.

He struck Evil Raven Venerable's meridians. With a cracking sound, strands of black Giant King bloodline were separated.

Without the maintenance of the half-Giant King bloodline, the body immediately became weak and powerless.

Evil Raven Venerable let out a pained groan and collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

But it wasn't over.

Jiang Fan conjured an Indestructible Blade in his palm, severing one of Evil Raven Venerable’s hands and both his legs.

He then tossed the severed limbs, along with the arm he was still holding, high into the air.

Under Jiang Fan's gaze, they all burst apart, scattering crimson blood rain across various parts of Tianji Pavilion, staining the ground and rooftops with splashes of red.

"Now it has a bit of a festive color," Jiang Fan said calmly.

Evil Raven Venerable, now reduced to a limbless torso, knew he couldn't escape death. He threw caution to the wind, laughing up at the sky:

"Hahaha, is that all the torment you have? This is just a little pain; which Soul Transformation Venerable hasn't come through countless trials?"

"Jiang Fan, you little brat, you can't defeat me!"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Fan looked down at him and said indifferently, "I haven't even started yet."

He took out the Divine Wood.

Is there anyone in the world who isn't afraid of pain?

Before the Divine Wood, such a person did not exist!

"Xiao Hu, move aside! Your dad is going crazy again," Biluo suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Xiao Hu from atop Huang Quan's head and quickly retreating.

Those around Huang Quan also dispersed.

The Tianji Pavilion Master sighed, "How many times has he gone mad now? Everyone, be careful not to get infected."

Since reaching the Eight-Aperture Nascent Soul stage, Huang Quan, due to his usually impatient nature, frequently fell into fits of madness.

His Dao was the Path of Self-Deception.

Sometimes he would deceive himself into believing he was a Soul Transformation Venerable, sometimes a hero, and occasionally even a peerless beauty.

In short, he was erratic and a headache.

This was another recurrence.

"Haha, hahaha, I've achieved Soul Transformation! I am Venerable Spark! I am Jiang Fan! I want to sleep with many, many women! I want to stay in bed for three days and three nights..."

Huang Quan chuckled foolishly, deceiving himself into believing he was Jiang Fan!

His madness spread, causing anyone affected to see him as Jiang Fan from Huang Quan’s perspective.

Biluo was startled. This dead man, stimulated by Jiang Fan's Soul Transformation, was actually fantasizing about being Jiang Fan?

And ruining Jiang Fan's reputation?

Shocked and furious, she snapped, "If you're going to embarrass yourself, go back to your cave!"

She pulled out a controller with a look of disgust, intending to knock him unconscious.

Jiang Fan's face turned green.

What did that mean? In Huang Quan's eyes, he, Jiang Fan, slept with many women and often stayed in bed for three days?

But then, he suddenly had an idea. He put away the Divine Wood and smiled cryptically:

"Don't worry, leave Brother Quan to me."

Biluo shivered, quickly grabbing Xiao Hu and running over, nervously saying, "Venerable Spark, please don't let this dead man bother you."

"Also, you can just call him by his name; he's not worthy of being called 'Brother Quan' by you."

Jiang Fan smiled:

"He is eternally 'Brother Quan' in my heart; no one can surpass him."

Biluo was slightly stunned, not expecting Jiang Fan to value Huang Quan so much. She couldn't help but feel touched for Huang Quan:

"A true friend is worth dying for. Senior, please deal with Huang Quan as you wish. Neither he nor I will blame you."

Jiang Fan smiled and nodded. With one hand, he took Huang Quan's arm, and with the other, he carried Evil Raven Venerable into his secret chamber.

"What are you doing?" Evil Raven Venerable asked suspiciously.

Jiang Fan said nothing. He fed Evil Raven Venerable a Heavenly Garment Divine Water pill.

His severed limbs quickly regrew.

Evil Raven Venerable understood, sneering, "You want to repeatedly sever my limbs?"

"Heh, if you're willing to waste Heavenly Garment Divine Water, I'll play along to the end!"

Jiang Fan shook his head. "You're not worthy of wasting my Heavenly Garment Divine Water."

He took out a glowing red elixir with five pill patterns, saying meaningfully:

"Have you ever heard that Sanqing Mountain refined some obscure elixirs?"

"For example, this fifth-grade elixir here can turn people into the opposite sex."

"Women who take it turn into men, and men who take it turn into women. The effect lasts for three days."

Evil Raven Venerable's expression froze. "You... what are you going to do?"

Jiang Fan said, "Nothing much. I just want you to experience what it's like to be a woman for three days."

With that, he seized Evil Raven Venerable's chin and forced the elixir into his mouth.

The effect was immediate.

Evil Raven Venerable's middle-aged male body immediately transformed.

His skin shed, muscles shrank, his chest swelled, and his rugged facial features softened.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a middle-aged man into a rather attractive woman of around thirty.

Jiang Fan calmly said, "I'm leaving. You two get along well."

He turned to leave, closing the stone door and simultaneously using his Earth Origin to seal the area around the secret chamber.

Evil Raven Venerable, having lost his divine ring and cultivation, could no longer open it.

"Little brat, what do you want by turning me into a woman?"

Evil Raven Venerable looked at his female body, his face grim.

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands embraced his waist from behind.

"I am Venerable Spark! I am Jiang Fan! I want to fight with women for three days and three nights without leaving the bed!"

"Come on, my precious, brother will cherish you."

Evil Raven Venerable got goosebumps all over, screaming in fright, "Get away! You dead demonic beast!"

He tried to struggle, but having lost his physical strength, how could he break free from a powerful Eight-Aperture Nascent Soul demon?

As he shrieked, Huang Quan tackled him down, tearing his clothes.

Evil Raven Venerable panicked, screaming, "No! No!! No!!!"

"Jiang Fan! Get him away from me!"

"I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Just kill me! Please, just kill me..."

"Ah!"

A piercing shriek, cutting through the sky, echoed from within the secret chamber.

On the plaza.

Jiang Fan teleported back.

Xu Youran frowned. "Husband, has Evil Raven Venerable been dealt with properly?"

Jiang Fan nodded. "He's met his deserved end."

Looking at the gentle face before him, Jiang Fan could no longer hold back his immense guilt.

"I actually forgot you."

Such an important person, such an important promise, and he had completely forgotten.

Xu Youran stood on tiptoe, cupping Jiang Fan's face, her expression as gentle as a spring breeze.

"That's because you consider me your closest person."

"We grew up together as childhood sweethearts; we're already family, and family members are often the easiest to overlook."

"I don't blame you. I know it's enough that I'm in your heart."

"Enough"? Did that mean she swallowed her grievances alone?

Jiang Fan's eyes moistened slightly.

Xu Youran had always been the one who touched his heart the most.

She was like a clear spring, shallow yet always able to nourish his soul when he was most parched.

Jiang Fan silently embraced her, lowered his head, and kissed her passionately.

A moment later, Jiang Fan pulled away.

Looking at the slightly flushed and softly panting Xu Youran, he gently released her, saying:

"I'm sorry, Youran. Today is our wedding day, but I cannot stay with you."

"The reinforcements from various states are still waiting for me."
