Fu Shinan recognized his voice and exclaimed excitedly, “You’re fine. That’s great! What about Shui Ling ‘er and the others? Did you transfer them?” The man narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Noticing his disbelief, Fu Shinan pressed on, “The first time we met was at the gas station. You saved me…” Her words were muffled as Ji Zan covered her mouth.
Footsteps approached, causing a commotion. “Is it done?” someone shouted.
As the footsteps grew nearer, Fu Shinan found herself transported to a small alley behind the building by Ji Zan.
“Are you really Fu Shinan?” he asked, revealing his true identity.
Fu Shinan continued where she left off, trying to explain the situation.
Ji Zan had managed to remove the mark on Shui Ling ‘er and the others’ bodies, freeing them. “I didn’t have time to deal with the guards in the basement. They freaked out when they found out. I’ll go and rescue them first!” he declared before teleporting away.
Relieved that Ji Zan was safe and their friends had been saved, Fu Shinan focused on their next challenge. However, her relief was short-lived as the Venerable’s presence returned, accompanied by the awakening of the original owner’s consciousness, which began to wrest control.
The Venerable appeared behind her, freezing her consciousness and tightening his grip around her neck.
In her fading consciousness, a figure swiftly intervened!
The sound of air tearing compelled the Venerable to release Fu Shinan and engage in battle with the newcomer. Struggling to regain control, Fu Shinan’s consciousness returned to her body, hindered by her injuries.
A shield of ice formed before the Venerable, intercepting a sudden attack from behind. The ice shield shattered, but it provided some temporary defense.
Ji Zan, the attacker, persisted, but the Venerable showed no signs of being affected by Ji Zan’s unique ability. How was this possible?With a wave of his hand, dozens of ice arrows flew toward Ji Zan, whistling sharply.
Ji Zan waved his hand, conjuring a ball of earth to block the incoming attack. Simultaneously, dozens of wind arrows shot out, piercing toward the Venerable with lightning speed.
Fu Shinan quickly composed herself, shocked to discover Ji Zan possessed earth powers. It appeared he had been busy during his disappearance.
On Ji Zan’s side, wind and ice clashed violently, producing a dull crashing sound as they shattered. Undeterred, Ji Zan abandoned his hiding tactics. The Black Snake organization was nothing more than a fraud, luring people in search of jingshi only to kill and steal from them. They even used human flesh to entice more victims! And their claims about the life-extending properties of jingshi were utterly absurd. Many had perished in the laboratory due to this crystal!

Lost in thought, Ji Jian employed the Earth Escape Technique to create several earth blades and charged toward the Venerable. However, upon nearing their target, the blades transformed into ice and froze in mid-air.
In Fu Shinan’s eyes, the skirmish resembled scenes from a science fiction film. Unlike any fight she had witnessed before, it was both fierce and visually striking. Clearly, this Venerable possessed great power, explaining his dominance over the city.
Realizing his disadvantage in close combat, Ji Zan quickly altered his strategy.
He couldn’t afford to exhaust himself, as that would put both him and Fu Shinan in danger. Employing his agility, he released wind arrows amidst his attacks, refusing to believe that suppressing his abilities would render him ineffective. After all, any special ability could be suppressed; it simply depended on who was superior.
The Venerable evaded, but the two adversaries remained evenly matched..
