The people of Yaotian Group on the ground quickly recognized the man before them as Chen Jie.
Especially Chairman Huang Yan, who immediately pointed at Laws beside him: "This is Chen Jie! He's the murderer who killed my child! Mr. Laws , I beg you to help me kill him!"
Laws narrowed his eyes and nodded. "This young man? Oh, what a pity—so young, and yet he's going to die by my hand!"
At Raus's current level, he couldn't perceive Chen Jie's terrifying strength.
Instead, seeing Chen Jie's harmless appearance, he felt a pang of regret for the young man's imminent death.
"Chen Jie! You killed my son! Death wouldn't even suffice!"
With Laws's acknowledgment, Huang Yan finally gained some courage, shouting at Chen Jie despite being just an ordinary man.
He had stared at Chen Jie's face countless times; his hatred burned bright.
He hated the murderer who had killed his son!
Chen Jie looked disdainfully at these two clowns on the ground and said calmly, "Your son… who is he?"
Indeed, so many had died under his hands that he had no idea what Huang Yan was talking about.
"My son, Huang Tian!" Huang Yan gritted his teeth in rage.
Hearing the name, Chen Jie felt a flicker of recognition.
Soon, he recalled the fool who had threatened him with money and Yaotian Group back during the apocalypse.
"Oh! I remember now. So those awakened who came to cause me trouble before… were sent by you, right?"
Chen Jie summoned the Open Heaven Axe and said indifferently.
Earlier, he hadn't understood the situation, but now it was clear.
Since they were enemies, the Open Heaven Axe had to draw blood.
"That's right! Too bad we didn't kill you before!" Huang Tian said with a bitter smile.
Laws scratched his head. "Enough talking. Let me help you deal with him!"
Seeing Laws preparing to strike, Huang Yan could only step back.
Chen Jie lowered his gaze, giving this foreign man a measured look.
A mere early sixth-tier awakener…
Sensing Chen Jie's scorn, anger surged in Raus's heart.
Suddenly, a crimson aura enveloped him—his Super Martial Armor appeared.
Laws locked onto Chen Jie's position in the air and roared as he charged.
"Lowly Dragon Nation human! Who gave you the courage to look at me like that?"
Laws's aura surged like a descending demon!
"Xiao Jie, be careful!"
Inside the hospital, Xia Wanrou, watching through the window, clenched her hands in worry.
Just moments ago, she had been surrounded by these sixth-tier awakeners and felt her doom approaching.
Fortunately, the man she thought of every day, Chen Jie, had returned!
To avoid affecting Chen Jie's battle, she suppressed her excitement and stayed hidden.
"Really asking for death!"
Chen Jie lifted his eyelids slightly, and the Open Heaven Axe in his hands trembled, sending forth a domineering primordial aura that tore through the air.
Bang!
The aura smashed directly into Laws's armor, instantly penetrating it.
In mere moments, the pride of Laws's Super Martial Armor crumbled.
The overwhelming aura slammed Laws back to the ground.
"Boom!!!"
Laws sank into the earth, spitting blood.
Huang Yan, watching this, could hardly accept it!
He had bet his entire fortune on this super-warrior, and in just one strike, Chen Jie had shattered him?
"You don't even seem like one of our people… just a little cockroach, why dare to swagger before me?"
Chen Jie's face was expressionless. He thought that the Eagle Nation people would not come for revenge so quickly.
And now he was tangled up with Huang Yan.
Laws struggled out of the pit.
He clearly sensed Chen Jie's aura, at most a sixth-tier awakener, same rank as him.
So how could he be so much stronger?
Laws glared venomously at Huang Tian. "Didn't you say this guy was only fourth or fifth-tier? You deliberately lied about his strength… was it to get me killed?"
"No! Lord Laws, all of this was reported by the Lin clan. They said he was only fourth or fifth-tier. I reported everything truthfully; how could I lie?"
Huang Tian's face was panicked, waving his hands frantically.
"I think the two of you can stop arguing now!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold.
In an instant, he hurled the Open Heaven Axe.
Huang Yan and Laws on the ground only saw a streak of yellow light flash by.
Then…
"Puchi! Puchi!"
Two birds, one stone. Chen Jie beheaded both of them as effortlessly as crushing ants.
In Chen Jie's eyes, the sixth-tier awakener Laws and the ordinary Huang Yan were no different.
With Laws dead, the remaining members of the former Yaotian Group on the ground saw this and all bowed before Chen Jie, begging for mercy.
Chen Jie looked coldly at them, preparing to sweep them away with his axe.
"Xiao Jie!"
Inside the hospital, Xia Wanrou rushed out, tears like jewels at the corners of her eyes, and leapt into Chen Jie's arms.
"I've waited for you for so long, so long! You're finally back safe! You have no idea how scared I've been every day…"
Pressing against Chen Jie's chest, she poured out the anxiety of the past days.
Since he left, she had nearly every night been haunted by nightmares, fearing he would never return.
"Wanrou, I'm back. And my strength has improved a lot!"
Chen Jie gently stroked her head.
In this world, she was the only one who cared so deeply about his safety.
"Boss Chen!"
After Xia Wanrou appeared, Lin Yao and Lin Shiyu came out, kneeling before Chen Jie.
Lin Yao had now reached the peak of the fifth tier.
Lin Shiyu had successfully entered the third-tier peak, almost reaching the fourth.
Chen Jie nodded at them.
Then he looked down at the kneeling members of Lin Yao Group.
"If you are sincere, join me! Those uninterested may leave—I promise not to harm you!"
Chen Jie's commanding voice echoed in the air.
Among them were quite a few awakened, and Chen Jie planned to formally form his own faction.
It would be convenient for dealing with the Kimchi Nation in the future.
The people on the ground exchanged glances; some genuinely wanted to submit, others wanted to flee.
After a moment, the first person stepped forward.
Chen Jie did not move.
Seeing this, nearly a dozen more followed.
"Are the rest of you sincere about joining me?"
Chen Jie asked the people below.
"We sincerely join!"
They bowed sincerely.
They were smart; Chen Jie's current strength was top in the entire province.
If they didn't join him, where else could they go?
"Good. From now on, you belong to me. Betrayal will be punished together. Our group will be called… Dragon-Slaying!"
Chen Jie's voice thundered, and the words "Dragon-Slaying" were branded into everyone's mind.
Then Chen Jie tossed a spirit fruit he had found in the secret realm to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao accepted it, immediately understanding.
They pursued those who had fled earlier…
