Boom!!!

The fists of both sides collided like the tip of a needle meeting a wheat awn.

The terrifying aura was unsettling, and the force it conveyed was visible to the naked eye, with even the air rippling like twisted water.

Some Daoist disciples lying on the ground bled from their ears and noses, unfortunately unable to escape.

Bam～

Both Bear Chief Warden and the Daoist Master withdrew their fists simultaneously, then clashed again.

This time, the sound of the collision was less intense than before, but the change in the air was visibly more terrifying, like throwing a handful of pebbles into a pond, creating circle after circle of ripples.

The two tacitly distanced themselves and adjusted their breathing.

"Do you still want to continue fighting?"

Bear Chief Warden obviously recovered faster, his tone full of calm confidence.

At this moment, the Daoist Master’s body was still heaving with rapid breaths.

He looked distressed, with a faint sense of unease.

All four directions were guarded by Grandmaster-level martial artists, and no matter which direction he chose to break through, he had to instantly defeat his opponent to have any chance of escaping alive.

Unfortunately, with these Prison Area Chiefs fully focused, instantly defeating an opponent of the same level was simply impossible.

The Daoist Master took a deep breath, barely managing to adjust his breathing, and tore off his battle-worn, tattered shirt, revealing his robust physique akin to a Greek statue.

"Seems like you’ve made your choice."

Bear Chief Warden was unexpectedly amused: "If you surrender, I might feel a bit guilty killing you."

"Aren’t you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

The Daoist Master roared, stomped heavily, and with a forward rush closed the distance between them, launching a prepared punch.

However, just as he threw the punch, something unexpected happened.

Bear Chief Warden suddenly ducked, grabbed the Daoist Master’s wrist, and with a shoulder throw, slammed the Daoist Master heavily onto the ground.

The impact was explosive, bouncing countless bits of Broken Stone into the air, and the ground cracked like a spider web over a twenty-meter diameter.

A body tempered by Grandmaster-level Inner Strength wouldn’t be incapacitated that easily.

Bear Chief Warden knew this very well, so he didn’t let go of the Daoist Master’s wrist.

He lifted the Daoist Master’s right wrist upwards, then stomped towards the Daoist Master’s head.

This principle similar to karate’s rock-breaking chop, when applied with Bear Chief Warden’s immense force, could unleash incredible destructive power.

While stepping down, he grinned and said through gritted teeth.

"This... is... the so-called, Daoist Master?"

With the brutal stomps of Bear Chief Warden, the Daoist Master was bleeding from the seven orifices, his face covered in blood, looking miserable.

Seeing the Daoist Master on the verge of dying, with no resistance left, Bear Chief Warden flung him away like trash, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"I should’ve found and killed all these cockroaches hiding in the dark corners long ago."

"Bastard!"

The Daoist sect’s senior disciple, who was previously knocked down by Hyde Prison Warden at lightning speed, turned red-eyed at this sight.

Finding some unknown strength, he managed to stand up again.

It’s noteworthy that this senior disciple wasn’t particularly weak.

With his Half-Step Grandmaster strength, he could easily become a Double Flower Red Stick in any faction.

Unfortunately, it all depends on whom you’re comparing him to.

Among these Wardens and Prison Area Chiefs, even within the Grandmaster level, they were outstanding.

Faced with the sudden, furious outburst of the senior disciple, Hyde Prison Warden didn’t even blink.

Flashing, he once again knocked down the senior disciple, and with a barrage of punches like raindrops, he crushed the senior disciple’s skull, killing him on the spot.

Witnessing this, the other Daoist disciples lying on the ground dared not move.

At this point, despite the grief and anger in their hearts, they had to accept the reality.

"Hmm?"

The Prison Area Chief, who stood near the control room, a burly man over two and a half meters tall with a square face, suddenly turned his head toward where Lv Bai was sitting: "Who are you?"

Previously, his attention was fully focused on the Daoist Master, but now that the Daoist Master was taken care of, he noticed Lv Bai sitting alone atop the control room.

"What’s up? Do you want to come sit with me?"

Lv Bai sincerely said: "But you can’t, this corner on my left is already rented out to Zhengxin Chicken Fillets."

Upon hearing this, Prison Chief Hong Zhu was stunned for a couple of seconds: "What are you talking about?"

Without waiting for Lv Bai to reply, he stepped toward the control room.

It’s worth mentioning that although Prison Chief Hong Zhu was over two and a half meters tall, his body proportions were not distorted and remained within the golden ratio.

This made him look far more intimidating than the two-meter-tall Hyde Prison Warden.

The sudden twist naturally caught everyone else’s attention too.

When Hyde took a good look at Lv Bai, his expression immediately changed.

"Hong Zhu, wait."

With interest, Bear Chief Warden told Hong Zhu to stop, and gazed at Lv Bai on the roof, smiling: "This is no ordinary prisoner; this is the escapee who successfully broke out from here."

Instinctively, Hong Zhu turned to look at Bear Chief Warden: "Huh?"

"I didn’t expect he would actually dare come back."

Bear Chief Warden folded his hands behind his back and leisurely walked toward Lv Bai.

Lv Bai pushed off the wall with his hanging legs, letting himself fall parallel to the ground.

Just before touching the ground, he adjusted himself mid-air and landed gently, barely stirring up any dust.

Standing up, he scratched the back of his head with a carefree smile: "I just came to see the spectacle. I won’t disturb anyone, I’m leaving now."

With that, he genuinely and honestly began walking toward the prison gate.

Bear Chief Warden, along with Hyde, Hong Zhu, and every Prison Area Chief present, found themselves at a loss for words due to Lv Bai’s casual demeanor.

Watching Lv Bai about to walk out the prison gate, Bear Chief Warden finally reacted, half amused half angry: "You can’t leave."

Without turning back, Lv Bai simply waved his hand.

"If we do this again, the whole prison will likely be shrouded in darkness."

No sooner was this said, Bear Chief Warden shot toward him, arm raised in a fist mid-way: "Try it if you dare!"

In a flash, Lv Bai activated [Flash Time], sidestepping several meters horizontally.

Avoiding Bear Chief Warden’s powerful charge, all the while endless darkness, with Lv Bai at its core, quickly spread in all directions.

"I really don’t want to fight, why force me?"

A voice, calm yet tinged with a smile, reached Bear Chief Warden’s ears amidst the darkness.

Bear Chief Warden immediately swung a punch toward the direction of the voice, but unsurprisingly hit nothing.
