Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 96: You’re Just a Son-in-Law Living in a Dog Kennel!

“This feeling isn’t pleasant, is it…” Looking at Yang Gaofei writhing on the ground, Jiang Che asked with a hint of amusement in his tone.

He had just exchanged 3000 villain points with the system for a “Heart-Eating Ant Gu.” Once infected with this Gu poison, one must consume an antidote every three days; otherwise, they would endure unbearable pain until death.

Yang Gaofei lay on the ground, his face contorted in agony, his mouth trembling non-stop, obviously enduring extreme pain.

Jiang Che stuffed an antidote into his mouth and released his mute acupoint. “How about it, are you interested in cooperating with me now?”

“What did you give me?” Yang Gaofei looked at Jiang Che in terror, still shaken by the excruciating pain he had just experienced.

“You’ve been poisoned with my Heart-Eating Ant Gu. If you don’t take the antidote on time, every three days, you’ll suffer the pain until it kills you.” Jiang Che’s face bore a casual smile, but to Yang Gaofei, it seemed chilling.

“I… I’m willing to cooperate.” After hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Gaofei quickly gave in. He was already dissatisfied with Xiao Fan, and he certainly didn’t want to endure that pain again.

“You’re sensible…”

“What do you want me to do?” Yang Gaofei frowned, slightly confused.

“Alice will arrive in Jiuzhou Country tonight, and she will surely fight Xiao Fan. If he gets injured, make him eat this.” Jiang Che handed a pill to Yang Gaofei while speaking.

“What is this?” Yang Gaofei looked at the pill in his hand, puzzled.

“This is called the Hundred Poison Pill. Once consumed, toxins rapidly corrode the entire body. No matter how high your cultivation is, if you eat this, you can only wait for death.” Jiang Che’s smile was somewhat cruel, anticipating the outcome.

It would be interesting to see Xiao Fan’s reaction when he realized his closest subordinate had betrayed him.

Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Yang Gaofei’s face showed a mix of emotions. This guy was ruthless, intending to send Xiao Fan to his grave! But he didn’t object, as he harbored discontent towards Xiao Fan.

“I hope you keep your promise to help me become the vice hall master.”

“No problem…”

…………

“Alice has arrived, hasn’t she?” Xiao Fan, with dozens of subordinates, was waiting early in the forest on the eastern outskirts, growing impatient at Alice’s delay.

“We’ve already notified the vice hall master. The meeting place is set here.”

While they were talking, several figures approached from a distance. The woman in black leading the group, with blonde hair and blue eyes, was none other than the vice hall master of the Shura Hall, Alice.

“Yo, Xiao Hall Master, long time no see. How is this a welcome for us?” Alice looked at the dozens of people behind Xiao Fan with a mocking tone, disdain in her eyes. Besides Yang Gaofei, the rest were incompetent in Xiao Fan’s camp.

“Enough talk. Let’s settle our issues today.” Xiao Fan glared coldly at the enchanting woman. Despite her allure, she meant nothing to him; his heart only had room for Zhou Lingxi.

“Why so angry, Xiao Hall Master? Tired of being a pushover in the Zhou family, and now venting on your own people?” Alice mocked, and her subordinates burst into laughter.

They all knew about Xiao Fan’s role as a son-in-law in the Zhou family, being mocked and bullied without retaliation.

“The dignified master of the Shura Hall, reduced to this for a woman? It’s ridiculous!”

“You…” Xiao Fan’s face turned ashen at Alice’s words, hating when others brought up his son-in-law status.

“What about me? Looks like the Hall Master has become a fool! I’ve discussed with some elders, and we’ve unanimously decided to dismiss you as the hall master of the Shura Hall. I’m here to notify you.”

“You have no right to dismiss me!” Xiao Fan sneered. Alice must be delusional, thinking she could dismiss the hall master with her vice hall master status.

“My right? Open your dog eyes and see what this is!” Alice took out a blood-red token from her waist and waved it in front of Xiao Fan. The token, entirely in crimson, had “Shura” inscribed on both sides.

“The Shura Order?” Xiao Fan stared at the token in shock.

The Shura Order, passed down from the first generation of Shura, symbolized the identity of each generation’s leader.

When he returned to his country, he had left the Shura Order at the headquarters. It was customary for the hall master to stay at the island headquarters, not like Xiao Fan, who had left soon after becoming the master.

To ensure its safety, the Shura Order was left with the council of elders. But how did it end up in Alice’s hands?

“The council of elders is disappointed in your actions and unanimously decided to dismiss you. From today, I am the new hall master of the Shura Hall.”

“You… You’re just a son-in-law living in a dog kennel!” Alice laughed mockingly, her eyes full of disdain, as if ridiculing Xiao Fan’s incompetence.

“You’re asking for it!” Enraged by Alice’s taunting words, Xiao Fan unleashed his inner strength and leaped towards her, attacking her face.

Alice also counterattacked with a palm strike.

“Bang!”

After a loud noise, both stepped back several paces, eyeing each other warily.

“Three years, and you haven’t improved a bit.” Alice looked down on Xiao Fan, having thought he might have improved over the years, but she was disappointed.

Xiao Fan, clutching his aching arm, watched Alice warily. He hadn’t expected her cultivation to have progressed so much, now almost equal to his.

Both were at the pinnacle of the Innate realm, but Xiao Fan had reached it earlier, so his internal strength was always a bit stronger.

“Die!” A fierce light flashed in Alice’s eyes. She leaped towards Xiao Fan and kicked at his chest.

Caught off guard, Xiao Fan was sent flying, and before he landed, Alice leaped up and kicked again.

Xiao Fan blocked with his arms, and they fought mid-air, creating tremors in the air. Both attacked mercilessly, each strike lethal, aiming to kill. Yang Gaofei led his men in a fierce battle with Alice’s subordinates below.

A dark, windy night perfect for murder and arson.

Xiao Fan’s eyes were bloodshot, attacking Alice like a madman. Alice struggled to parry the attacks of the enraged Xiao Fan, retreating step by step. She had underestimated him; his burst of strength was overwhelming.

But she was not to be trifled with. Concentrating her internal strength in her palm, she appeared behind Xiao Fan and struck. Caught off guard, Xiao Fan was sent flying.

“Boom!”

Xiao Fan crashed beside a large tree, breaking it in half, coughing as he struggled to stand up. Leaping into the air, he struck Alice, who fell from mid-air and staggered back several steps, turning pale.
