"Let's all attack together and hold her off!"

Amidst the chaos, a sinister male voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Ah Shan's expression hardened, and he pulled out a vial of medicine that emitted a faint red glow from his pocket and swallowed it in one gulp.

The moment the medicine entered his throat, his blood and qi surged violently as if boiling.

As the effects of the medicine spread, Ah Shan's veins bulged, his back bones cracked, his muscles swelled, and he grew a size larger.

Jiang Mian watched this scene coldly, as if watching a clown performance, completely unconcerned.

Type 1 Qi and Blood Elixir can temporarily increase an Awakened's physical attributes by 30% during battle; the maximum duration varies from person to person.

Outside of combat, one bottle can be divided into seven uses.

It can increase the advancement speed of [War] Awakeners by 30%, lasting for one day each time, for a total of one week.

This thing is good for temporary boosts, but want to touch yourself?

dream!

"Drink!"

Ah Shan let out a low growl and stomped his foot—

He transformed into a blur and shot towards Jiang Mian!

Jiang Mian snorted coldly; it seemed these three had come with the determination to die.

By helping them to be free, I've also fulfilled their wishes.

However, that thing on my head is a bit troublesome and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

A golden light appeared in her eyes, and her scorching spiritual power instantly locked onto everyone.

Including the two hiding in the back.

"call out!"

Just then, a cold arrow unexpectedly shot towards her forehead.

The rock element beneath her feet surged violently, attempting to form a hardened layer on her body to keep her in place.

"Use elements in front of me?"

Jiang Mian scoffed.

Let the [Elemental] Awakeners attack you? Isn't that ridiculous?

With a slight thought, the massive earth element beneath her feet instantly "rebelled," surging towards the two people in the distance instead.

"Clang."

Jiang Mian swung his spear to parry, striking the arrow squarely with a crisp sound.

Upon seeing this, the short, stocky man's eyes widened in surprise.

My abilities... have failed?!

They even betrayed us?!

Before he could think any further, he suddenly felt a burning sensation surge within his body.

"Ugh!"

Just then, his companion, the tall, thin man who had fired the arrow, let out a scream.

The next second, his entire body was enveloped in an orange-gold flame.

The flesh sizzled in the high temperature, and the facial features were twisted in a ferocious manner, clearly enduring immense pain.

Immediately afterwards, the short, stocky man himself burst into flames, just like the flames.

Multi-elemental control?! [All Things]?!

The shock that had just risen in the man's heart was immediately covered by the earth element he had gathered.

A crystal shell formed on the two people's bodies, locking them firmly in place.

It's like a chicken simmering in a clay pot, forced to watch itself cook through.

Jiang Mian frowned slightly as she looked at the people burning in the flames.

As awakened beings grow into their mid-to-late stages, their dual resistances will increase dramatically with their level.

While his own fire damage is sufficient, he focuses more on finishing off enemies.

Without using a different kind of fire, it's obviously not going to heal so quickly.

Right now, she's facing sixth-tier opponents, all of whom are at full strength.

Just like Ah Shan in front of her, even though he was engulfed in flames, he still charged towards her with red eyes.

If you want to speedrun, the [Heaven and Earth Illusion] is still the top choice.

Jiang Mian was about to confront it head-on to finish it off in one blow when a golden light suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Then, Ah Shan was frozen in place by a sudden force.

A golden spatial slash flashed by.

After a four-second silence, Ah Shan regained his mobility.

He did not continue his charge, but looked incredulously at his waist and abdomen.

Jiang Mian, with his sharp eyes, spotted a thin line that was barely visible to the naked eye, and there was a similar mark on the wall behind him.

Then, Ah Shan's upper body slowly slid down and fell to the ground with a "plop"!

The internal structure of the entire building also began to collapse, with dull cracking sounds coming from it.

"Mianmian."

Ye Chenyang, carrying a long sword, approached her and called out softly.

Jiang Mian met his gaze and immediately understood what he meant.

……

At the same time, outside the recycling center.

"Holy crap! A black hole bomb! Which bastard did this?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, run!"

"Can they escape? The blast radius of this thing is..."

On the street, even though the pedestrians were cursing and their faces showed despair, they still obediently ran out.

Yun Han stood in the crowd maintaining order, occasionally glancing at the deep black sphere in the sky.

The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked out, even the sunlight was swallowed up, leaving behind an eerie darkness.

As it fell, the thing expanded and gathered energy.

If it were detonated near the ground, it would likely affect a large portion of the base city centered around the recovery site!

Because of its immense power, the official technical control over the [Black Hole Bomb] is extremely strict.

However, there are always people who study it for their own selfish desires, and it is impossible to stop it despite repeated bans.

Over the years, there have been some results.

After all, in this world, power reigns supreme.

A weapon that can theoretically kill a seventh-tier enemy is a deadly weapon no matter where it is placed.

Even ordinary people know how powerful this thing is.

Sharp alarms were sounding inside the base city, and countless anti-aircraft guns were firing at the black hole bomb.

However, as soon as those shells got close, they were all crushed and annihilated.

Yunhan took everything in.

Although corresponding interceptor missiles have been developed, it is precisely to deal with such situations.

However, it was too close; it was less than a kilometer away when it was deployed, exceeding the minimum altitude for effective interception.

If the interceptor missile is used to detonate it directly, the damage will probably not be reduced much.

The only solution... is to have a true seventh-tier expert take their place, bring them to a safe distance, and then detonate it!

……

Southern District, Zhao Family Manor.

Zhao Heling stood on the terrace with his hands behind his back, gazing at the slowly expanding black mass in the distance, his face bearing an eerie calm.

He seemed completely oblivious to the chaos in the distance.

Zhao Heling felt a pang of regret in her heart.

Unfortunately, the Black Hole Bomb has the drawback of delayed detonation. If it could be detonated directly without charging, the success rate of killing would be even higher.

Fortunately, in order to protect those lowly people, that person probably won't abandon them.

If you try to forcibly remove it, even a seventh-level expert will be captured by its gravity and will have no chance of survival!

"dad."

Zhao Yingming appeared behind him without him noticing, his voice sounding somewhat weak.

"Once that thing lands, that entire area will be finished..."

"Is it all over?"

Zhao Heling turned around, revealing a chilling smile, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

"They're just a bunch of lowly people; their deaths are no big deal. Their greatest value lies in holding off that seventh-tier opponent for us."

Zhao Yingming opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Although he was greedy and lustful, he wasn't that extreme.

Is this what the father truly thought?

Using the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as bargaining chips to coerce that outsider, a seventh-level expert, into sacrificing his life?

Zhao Yingming remained silent for a long time before speaking again:

"Dad, what if she's not dead?"

"Not dead?"

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with madness.

"I've already sent someone to report to the old master. If she only wants to hold the culprit accountable, I'll just step forward and take responsibility."

"But if she were to kill everyone in the Zhao family, the old master would never stand idly by!"
