"Damn it, I'm done with you!"

Who knows when, the skeleton that had fallen at Jian Yuan's feet, furiously roared, completing its final translation task.

After that, within the locked skull, the chained spiritual structure, blessed by the Two Heart Secrets, fell like dominoes, triggering an irreversible chain reaction.

Over the past few days, the Fierce Flame and temperature that Ji Jue had stolen from the furnace exploded violently within the Non-attack Purified Flame Element Explosives.

Regrettably, it was all for naught.

The moment the Fierce Flame exploded, it stagnated in place.

At best, it was merely a waste of Jian Yuan's effort to point downward.

Ruins·Stagnation Zone!

It might have been enough for Ji Jue to snatch a critical moment, freeing himself from the constraints, while underneath, the wheelchair suddenly roared, the hand-cranked motor spun wildly, the structure operated, the Mercury hidden beneath the steel tubes flowed and transformed, and from within the armrests, seat cushions, to the wheels, blades mutated from the Mercury's confinement unsheathed, slashing.

Like a storm of steel, it enveloped everything, aiming to shred Jian Yuan into thousands of pieces!

Sadly, still to no avail.

The ruling power of the Embers Path was nearly absolute, for a Craftsman Grandmaster like Jian Yuan, all of Ji Jue's tricks could not escape his eyes, not to mention that he had long seen them coming, pretending to be unaware?

Even now, Ji Jue's sudden attack was within his expectations.

The only miscalculation was...

Ji Jue's counterattack was too weak!

He didn't find a better opportunity, nor did he have the patience to wait for his vulnerabilities to show; such a reckless and meaningless rush could never achieve any result.

Moreover, such trivial, petty skills!

Boom!

With just a snap of the fingers, countless blades and edges, along with the entire wheelchair, disintegrated and collapsed into dust.

Heavenly Origin·Power Impact!

Thus, finally... the dagger is revealed at the end of the road!

Behind the remnants of the wheelchair, a strand of grey luminescence illuminated his pupils.

It even made his battered body shiver!

It was the Heart Poison Arrow cruelly carved out by Master Zhou Chong's hand, forcefully implanted into Ji Jue...

In the moment it appeared, it had already disintegrated into countless tiny sparks, converging into a strand, completely activated, locked on!

That's not right, he had no spiritual essence exposed outside to serve as a lock-on medium, so how could it take effect?

In the blink of an eye, Jian Yuan caught a glimpse of the remnants of the skull from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but burst into laughter—so that was it?

Had it been planned from the beginning when creating this laughable contraption, tempting him to try?

Really, it was somewhat capable!

Yet, still not enough!

Even unworthy of invoking blessings or defenses, he coldly lifted his head, letting the Heart Poison Arrow pour into his body, infinite resentment, bitter hatred, and mutations flooded into his soul.

But what of it?

In the next instant, his soul, marred by countless traumas, completely devoured it!

Merely Heart Poison, that was all it amounted to!

Snap!

The sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed.

Jian Yuan's cold smirk froze on his face.

Slowly lowering his head, he saw the blade protruding slightly from his chest, penetrating, then the Mutated Poison he had meticulously taught and forged, spread, poisoning his flesh.

It was... a fragment of the skeleton.

A fragment that had fallen from the main body of the skeleton during the explosion.

But as the main structure collapsed, what emerged was another vast blessing!

[Battle-tempered]?

Where did it come from? When?

In that instant, before his eyes floated that utterly useless scratching stick...

Deliberately making the scratching stick a scrap, but hiding the incomplete blessing inside the skeleton?

A creation seemingly the size of a fist was actually a double-blessed creation, relying on hidden explosives, completely deceiving his eyes in its structure.

Below one secret chamber, another secret chamber lay hidden.

Below one transformation, another transformation hid!

The moment the fragments burst forth, a third invisible Spiritual Hand caught the flying blade-like fragments, clenched tightly.

Then, without hesitation, it pierced into his heart from behind.

In an instant, the blade barely an inch short drained his blood, multiplied itself, and then numerous crimson blades exploded from his body, disseminating.

Shredded into pieces!

If, doing so really had any meaning.

Boom!

Ji Jue's body was thrown back, his newly healed legs shattered inch by inch, his ribs broke under the pressure, piercing into his lungs, the pain spreading.

Yet his hands, somehow, remained completely unharmed.

Mockingly leaving him with the possibility to resist.

Jian Yuan's shattered body reassembled in mid-air.

Merely being reborn, his life force still brimming infinitely, how could he so underestimate himself?

Or was it that he already knew the consequences, fundamentally unable to contend, a desperate gamble, merely to throw that bit of floodwater and snowflakes onto his own head?

"Truly, I underestimated you."

He waved his hand, easily crushed the Spiritual Hand, took over the remaining blade from his hand, scrutinizing it carefully, glancing at Ji Jue's dreadful state, he couldn't help but feel 'admiration' and sighed:

"How did I only discover today... in the Path of Embers, there actually is a Justice Envoy daring to sacrifice himself? A fearless warrior unafraid of authority?"

Jian Yuan sneered, "How should I address you?"

Ji Jue remained silent.

As if lost in thought.

Yet somehow, he remembered the undying patients in the Time Ruins not long ago.

Their cries, shouts, and silent moans echoed in the rain and darkness, just like those of the people before him.
