After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 46:

Chapter 46: Trapped Dragon Formation

“What? My brother is injured!” Guoguo, who was nestled in Li Wanji’s arms, immediately struggled to get down when she heard her brother had been hurt.

“Yeah, it’s pretty serious. He was covered in blood,” Mo Ruyan nodded.

“I want to go to the hospital to see him,” Guoguo said anxiously.

“I’ll go with you,” Mo Ruyan replied, and the two left together.

“That Rong Jiuxiao kid really is useless. I even taught him a body-tempering technique, and he still lost,” Li Wanji shook his head. If not for Guoguo’s sake, he wouldn’t have given the guy anything.

[Ding! Main quest triggered: Kill Chen Fan’s personal disciple Xiao Miao. Take brutal revenge on Chen Fan.]

“Alright, you all continue eating. I have something to take care of.” After saying that, he stood up and disappeared in a flash.

As soon as he left, Chen Lanyi muttered, “Didn’t I tell Xiao Miao not to come? Why didn’t he listen?”

“What do we do now?” Bai Ya whispered.

“What can we do? Nothing. We’re lucky if we can protect ourselves,” Gu Qingning said coldly. That kid Xiao Miao came here to die. Who could he blame?

Couldn’t he see that even the women Chen Fan left behind were like clay Bodhisattvas crossing the river—barely able to save themselves?

He didn’t inherit any of Chen Fan’s skills, only his arrogance.

She couldn’t help but feel some resentment toward Chen Fan. Back then, although she supported his ascension, deep down she had hoped he would stay and grow old with them.

But Chen Fan had said, “My pursuit of the Dao will never end. I must ascend. Blue Star’s resources won’t allow me to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. It’s my brother’s fault for dragging you into this,” Chen Lanyi apologized, feeling guilty.

“Forget it, it’s not your fault. Let’s eat,” Gu Qingning lowered her head and resumed eating.

Chen Lanyi nodded. “Mm.”

“When he comes back after killing Xiao Miao, he’ll definitely continue to torment us. I have a feeling that dancing was just an appetizer,” Gu Qingning said. She was sure this night wouldn’t end peacefully. Otherwise, that bastard wouldn’t have invited her over.

…

At this moment, Li Wanji had just left the villa when he noticed a shadowy figure sneaking away about 100 meters ahead.

“Trying to escape?” he sneered and flew over. In an instant, he appeared beside the shadow and waved his sleeve. A surge of powerful true Qi swept out and sent the person flying.

“Speak. Where is Xiao Miao?” Li Wanji asked coldly.

“What? This can’t be… true Qi manifestation… you’re a Grandmaster! Y-You’re a Grandmaster!” The black-clothed man was terrified. Then he spoke into his earpiece, “Run! The intel was wrong. He’s a Grandmaster! Get out now!”

From the earpiece came a voice: “Li Wanji, I know you can hear me. Let my brother go. If you’ve got guts, come to the forest behind the abandoned factory at Site 93 outside the city. We’ll settle this one-on-one.”

It was Xiao Miao.

“Site 93, hiding in that creepy place? Fine. Wait a few minutes. I’ll come take your head myself,” Li Wanji pointed with two fingers, and a blast of true Qi pierced through the man’s forehead.

Then he summoned his flying sword, lightly jumped onto it—

Whoosh!

Turning into a green streak of light, he flew swiftly through the night.

…

At that moment, in the forest behind Site 93’s abandoned factory, a large group of people was hiding in the dense woods. Xiao Miao stood in a clearing, staring up at the sky.

“The opponent is a Grandmaster-level cultivator, just like Master. This might be tricky,” he muttered.

“Fortunately, Master left me the Trapped Dragon Formation. It can trap and kill even Grandmasters.”

This was the reason Xiao Miao dared to come to Mingyun City. Others might call him arrogant, but that was only because they didn’t know the capital he had for such arrogance.

Even Chen Fan’s women didn’t know that the Trapped Dragon Formation had been passed on to him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so hopeless.

“He’s coming. Everyone hide!” Seeing a green streak approaching in the sky, Xiao Miao whispered through his earpiece. Then he pressed a button and cut off communication.

“You’re Xiao Miao?” a voice echoed through the night.

As the voice landed, a green streak flew past, and a figure appeared—it was Li Wanji.

“That’s me. I didn’t expect Senior to know my name. I’m truly honored,” Xiao Miao greeted respectfully, his tone humble and polite, enough to win anyone’s favor.

“Heh, disciple of Chen Fan, Vice Instructor of Canglong, a rising star in the martial world. Of course, I’ve heard of you. But kid, you’ve got guts,” Li Wanji mocked.

“Why do you say that, Senior?” Xiao Miao’s lips curled slightly.

“With your 3rd stage Qi Refining Realm cultivation, how are you going to fight me?” Li Wanji looked disappointed. He had expected at least a peak Qi Refining Realm. But this? Only 3rd stage?

This weakling was no different from an ant—he could crush him effortlessly.

“Hehe, as my master’s disciple, even if my cultivation is weak, I must slay the traitor who took over my master’s women and humiliated my seniors. I must avenge my master!” Xiao Miao said with determination.

“Filial. Admirable. In that case, I’ll leave your corpse intact,” Li Wanji said as he dismissed his flying sword into his storage pouch. Boom! His true Qi erupted wildly.

“Deploy the formation!” Xiao Miao shouted.

Suddenly, people appeared all around, each holding a flag. The flags bore the image of a yellow-brown earth dragon.

“The Earth Element Trapped Dragon Formation,” Li Wanji immediately recognized it. He remembered this from his past life—it was the same formation Chen Fan once used to seriously wound a demonic cultivator.

Before ascending, Chen Fan had passed this formation down to Xiao Miao to protect his senior sisters.

“Senior truly has sharp eyes. This spot lies within a mountain range, rich in earth Qi. In other places, I might not have the confidence to kill you. But here… heh, I’ll gladly send you to your death!” Xiao Miao grinned arrogantly, took out a formation disk, and began activating the array.

Shhh…

A thick cloud of dust rose and swallowed his figure—he disappeared instantly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh… A terrifying sandstorm roared toward Li Wanji.

“An earth-type illusion formation. Interesting,” Li Wanji smirked, unfazed.

“This formation could definitely trap and kill an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator,” he murmured. “But what none of you realize is… I’m already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and have half-stepped into the False Core Realm!”

Golden light began to flicker in Li Wanji’s eyes—his divine sense had been released.

He was searching for the formation’s weakest point.

“Found it!” he soon located the weakest part of the array.

Driving his flying sword forward, he struck that point instantly!

Clang!

The moment the sword hit the weak spot of the barrier, the entire formation trembled and became unstable.

“Not good!” Xiao Miao, hidden within the formation, was shocked to see his opponent find the weak point so easily.

“Luckily, Master gave me the Earth Spirit Pearl to reinforce the array,” he said, pulling out a yellow pearl. He crushed it, releasing a surge of earthy energy that strengthened the formation.

Buzz.

The array barrier instantly solidified.

“Heh, found you!” Li Wanji’s sinister voice suddenly echoed behind him.

Xiao Miao’s scalp went numb.

Crack!

In the next second, his neck was snapped.
