I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

As the group argued, Meng Boshang kept looking up at the sky, seemingly focused on something.

“…Bo Shang, we old guys are no longer in our prime. You’re the strongest here, so what do you suggest we do?”

An elderly man with extremely large hands, in stark contrast to his short stature, looked at Meng Boshang and spoke in a kind and gentle tone.

Meng Boshang did not respond. He withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned to look at the front gate of Chi Liangyun's house.

While everyone was still confused, suddenly...

“Click, click—”

The large iron gate of the house was slowly pushed open, and a young man who looked to be in his early twenties stepped out.

The young man was wearing a black short jacket, with a gloomy face and gray hair. Despite his extremely young appearance, he inexplicably exuded an aura of old age and decay.

His figure was extremely tall and straight, with very long arms and legs. As he walked and looked around, he was like a peerless blade that could overwhelm the world, exuding a sharpness that made anyone who looked directly at him feel as if they would be cut in the eye.

In the young man's hand, he was holding a Rubik's Cube that was emitting a green light...?

"he is……"

Several elderly people felt that the young man looked familiar, so they took a few steps forward to identify him carefully.

The next moment, a golden light flashed across the scene, and everyone around was momentarily blinded.

That was not blindness caused by strong light.

Rather, it was simply that the gaze directed at the young people was 'cut down'.

The elderly men who were taking a step forward froze, their upper bodies slowly sliding down, leaving behind a trail of red, black, and green internal organs and flesh.

"Golden...Golden Wind and White Rainbow Sword!"

"Jiao Hongyuan, it's Jiao Hongyuan!"

One of the old men, who was now only left with his upper body, vomited blood and spoke in fear.

"He leaped over the dragon gate!"

These words immediately caused an uproar, and those in front involuntarily took several steps back.

Leaping over the Dragon Gate and burying one's old self—this is a huge chasm on the path of martial arts.

There is a fundamental difference between those who leap over and those who don't.

The fish leaps over the Dragon Gate, burns off its mortal tail, and transforms into a dragon. Such beings are almost two species from ordinary people, like the ascension in myths and legends, leaping from human to another kind of existence.

People regard him as an "immortal in the mortal world" or a "Buddha in this very body," and respectfully call him a "martial arts master."

They are the kind of people who only appear once every twenty years in the small city of Qingcheng!

Chapter 202 Cockroach Attack, Cheating-Level Abilities, Xue Jing Returns to the Battlefield (4K)

"A Grandmaster Who Breaks Limits..."

The government rushed over in the middle of the night, apparently to deal with such a terrifying entity.

Those who could understand the concept of 'breaking the limit' couldn't help but have second thoughts, their eyes starting to wander. Even an absolute numerical advantage couldn't bring them much sense of security.

Nobody is an idiot. Facing a Grandmaster-level expert, even if you manage to win by sheer numbers, the result will be heavy casualties. It's unknown how many cannon fodder lives will be used to make up for the difference in combat power.

No one can guarantee that they won't be used as cannon fodder to fill the gaps.

As a result, Jiao Hongyuan's mere appearance and display of his breakthrough realm of leaping over the dragon gate immediately caused the crowd to waver and their fighting spirit to wane.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?"

Chen Fuguang walked to Meng Boshang's side, lag behind him by half a step, and asked in a low voice.

"..." Meng Boshang did not respond.

He had been keeping an eye on Jiao Hongyuan ever since Jiao Hongyuan appeared.

No, I should say I kept staring at the Rubik's Cube that was emitting a green light in Jiao Hongyuan's hand.

"Hehehe... It's quite lively here. Are you all going for a run in the middle of the night? Quite a few familiar faces."

Jiao Hongyuan, who looked young, let out a laugh without any real joy. His voice was deep, hoarse, and aged, completely at odds with his youthful appearance.

Someone stepped forward and spoke sternly:

"Jiao Hongyuan, surrender now! Your schemes have been completely exposed, and you can't escape!"

"Escape?" Jiao Hongyuan tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged man who spoke.

"Xu Shiyong, you brat, when did you become qualified to bark at this old man?"

"call out--"

Without Jiao Hongyuan making any move, a golden stream of energy suddenly appeared in front of Xu Shiyong.

"Chong-"

Meng Boshang suddenly appeared in front of the golden ribbon, his arms crossed in front of his chest to block it. After a moment of stalemate, he spread his arms outwards, scattering the ribbon.

"Bo Shang!" Xu Shiyong exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, so those brats from the Hidden Dragon Dojo have come too." Jiao Hongyuan glanced at Meng Boshang, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings for a moment.

"Why haven't I seen that brat surnamed Xue... Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway, everyone in the city is going to die tonight, he can't escape."

As he spoke, Jiao Hongyuan held up the Rubik's Cube that was emitting a green light.

The 3x3 Rubik's Cube started moving in Jiao Hongyuan's hands. After more than a dozen random rotations, the green light on the cube suddenly became intense.

Jiao Hongyuan threw it to the ground, and all the green light swirled and seeped into the ground, turning into a large green vortex.

As everyone was wondering what this thing was, a sudden change occurred.

A huge, dark head suddenly emerged from the vortex of green light on the ground.

Its head resembled a human's, but was much larger. Its eyes and mouth were those of an insect, and it had two sharp antennae on the top of its head.

Before anyone could react, it leaped out of the green light vortex, revealing its full form.

"A cockroach...a cockroach monster!"

Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Those who come here are generally prepared to face monsters, but when a creature that is normally terrifying is magnified thousands of times and appears in front of them, it still gives them goosebumps.

"Why is it so big? The information says it's about the same height as a person, right?" someone asked, frowning and clicking their tongue.

The cockroach monster in front of me was nearly four meters tall, and its enormous size created an immense sense of oppression.

But no one could answer his question.

Because everyone was stunned by what happened next.

Cockroaches, an almost endless number of cockroaches, kept crawling out of the green vortex.

One meter, two meters, three meters, four meters... and even more than five meters are not uncommon.

Some of them, when they crawled out, were still holding the remains of other cockroaches in their hands, constantly putting them to their mouths and gnawing on them, their bodies covered in dark green slime.

As the cockroach monsters emerged from the vortex almost endlessly, the atmosphere at the scene froze to an extreme degree.

The cockroaches, however, had no complex thoughts like humans. As soon as they came out and saw so many fresh prey, they spread their huge six thin wings and attacked the crowd.

"Ah!"

In an instant, dozens of people were caught by the cockroach's six barbed legs, their flesh being torn apart and causing them to scream in agony.

This instantly ignited the entire battlefield.

"Come on!!"

Someone shouted something, and everyone immediately rushed towards the swarm of cockroaches.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Countless gunshots rang out incessantly in the dead of night, like firecrackers, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

The sounds of flesh being torn apart, exoskeletons being pulverized, and bullets hitting their targets... This area of ​​the West District had been completely transformed into a giant meat grinder.

A massive battle ensued between a crowd of over ten thousand people and an ever-growing swarm of cockroaches that seemed unstoppable.

Chen Fuguang and Meng Qingjiao also went to various places to kill and clear out the cockroach monsters. In the midst of the chaotic battle, only Jiao Hongyuan and Meng Boshang, who were in the very center, did not make a move.

The two were staring at each other, their auras gathering and swirling around them, creating visible, distorted air currents that warped the light.

All the humans instinctively moved away from the area within tens of meters of the two, while some cockroach monsters that had their eyes on the two's high-quality flesh and blood were inexplicably cut in two or had their bodies pulverized the moment they got close to the two.

Until a certain moment, the two of them suddenly disappeared from the spot at the same time.

When they reappeared, the two had already collided.

"Qiang——!!"

……

Thousands of meters above the ground, Xue Jing seemed to sense something and looked down at the scene below.

Black flames burned within his silvery-white pupils. The pitch-black night and the distance of thousands of meters did not obstruct his vision at all. With just one glance, he could see what was happening below.

They also met several people from their own dojo.

Xue Jing's gaze lingered on Meng Boshang, Meng Qingjiao, and Chen Fuguang for a moment before turning his attention to the imposing man in black crystal armor standing not far away in the air.

Although he wanted to go down and help, he had to deal with this troublesome thing in front of him first.

Xue Jing gripped a black crystal in his hand.

This was just taken from the other person.

With a slight exertion of force, the black crystal in his palm shattered into countless uniformly sized, sharp fragments. Xue Jing assumed a baseball-throwing stance and aimed at the man.

Previously, he had used a powerful attack called Thunderfire Boiling Cauldron, a combination of Shaking Star Fire and Whirlwind Thunder, to throw objects, which he named 'Dragon Star Cluster'.

Now that he has mastered the five major killing moves of the Hidden Dragon Style, he can naturally use an upgraded version of this move.

"The True Dragon Star Cluster!"

The power of the ultimate technique, "Focus Technique," circulated within his body, transforming into an unparalleled penetrating force that could pierce through anything, surging into Xue Jing's right arm.
