The night burned crimson, stained with the blood of fallen warriors. The war for Huaxia's underworld had escalated beyond expectation, with Su Chen's forces crushing enemy factions at every turn.
But the Chen Family was not finished yet.
Inside the ruins of their ancestral estate, a secret force prepared for their last stand—a hidden group of martial masters who had trained in seclusion for decades, waiting for a moment like this.
If they could not win through strategy… they would gamble everything on power.

The Hidden Masters of the Chen Family
Deep within the ancestral hall, Chen Yulong, broken and bloodied from his defeat at Su Chen's hands, knelt before an ancient shrine.
"Masters," he coughed out, blood dripping from his lips. "The Chen Family… is at its end. But if you act now, we can still—"
A heavy presence filled the room, cutting him off.
From the darkness, five old men stepped forward, their eyes gleaming with terrifying power. Their very existence distorted the air, their martial arts having reached a realm that few in Huaxia had ever seen.
"You were weak," one of them muttered.
"But we are not," another finished.
Chen Yulong did not even resist as one of them placed a hand on his head—draining the last of his lifeforce to fuel their awakening.
A terrible aura burst from the shrine, shaking the entire battlefield.
The true battle had begun.

Su Chen vs. The Five Grand Elders
Outside, Su Chen stood atop the burning ruins of the Chen estate, gazing down at his enemies with a calm expression. Around him, the last remnants of the Chen forces had already been wiped out.
It should have been over.
But then—
BOOM!
An earth-shattering pressure descended as five figures appeared before him, their bodies radiating an overwhelming killing intent.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Finally, something interesting."
The Grand Elders of the Chen Family had awoken.
Each one had cultivated in isolation for over a century, their bodies enhanced through forbidden techniques. They had sacrificed everything—emotions, lifespan, even their humanity—to reach the peak of martial arts.
Elder Chen Hai: Master of Void Steps, faster than the eye could follow.
Elder Chen Tian: Grandmaster of the Iron Demon Body, impervious to most attacks.
Elder Chen Lu: The Silent Blade, rumored to kill before his sword was even drawn.
Elder Chen Song: Manipulator of Qi Chains, capable of sealing a warrior's power.
Elder Chen Feng: The Flame Tyrant, wielding fire that could melt steel in seconds.
Su Chen smiled. "Five grandmasters at once? Not bad."

The Battle: Su Chen's True Strength
The battle erupted instantly.
Chen Hai vanished, reappearing behind Su Chen with a strike aimed at his spine—only for Su Chen to catch it without looking and slam him into the ground.
Chen Tian charged forward, his skin turning as hard as diamond—but Su Chen's fist shattered it in a single blow.
Chen Lu unsheathed his sword, but Su Chen's gaze alone stopped him mid-motion—paralyzing him with sheer willpower.
Chen Song's Qi Chains wrapped around Su Chen, trying to suppress his energy—yet Su Chen simply flexed, breaking them apart like paper.
Chen Feng's flames roared, engulfing Su Chen in an inferno—but Su Chen walked through it unharmed, smiling.
Five attacks.
Five failures.
The Grand Elders realized something terrifying—Su Chen was beyond their understanding.
"You're all too slow."
With those words, Su Chen moved.
In a single breath—
Chen Hai's body was crushed, reduced to a mist of blood.
Chen Tian's iron skin shattered, his body splitting in half.
Chen Lu never even got to swing his sword before he lost his head.
Chen Song's Qi chains wrapped around his own throat, strangling him to death.
Chen Feng's flames exploded back onto him, turning him to ash.
It was not a fight.
It was a slaughter.
And Su Chen did not even break a sweat.

The End of the Chen Family
The battlefield fell silent.
The once-mighty Chen Family, one of Huaxia's great powers, had been wiped from existence in a single night.
The last survivors knelt before Su Chen, trembling in fear.
"Spare us! Please, Lord Su!"
Su Chen gazed down at them.
Then, he turned away.
"Leave Huaxia. If I ever see you again… you die."
They fled without hesitation, disappearing into the night.
The war was over.
And Su Chen had won.

The Aftermath: Tianlong's Absolute Rule
As dawn broke, the Tianlong Family stood as the undisputed rulers of Huaxia's underworld.
The corporate world belonged to them.
The martial arts world obeyed them.
The syndicates either submitted or disappeared.
Wang Jun, standing beside Su Chen, exhaled deeply. "It's over."
Ye Meng wrapped her arms around Su Chen's, smiling. "Now, you really rule everything."
Su Chen simply smirked. "For now."
But deep in his heart, he knew—this was only the beginning.
Because power was never absolute.
And there would always be someone foolish enough to challenge him.
But that was fine.
He welcomed it.
