Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Hu Zhong's expression shifted as he looked at the natural disaster overhead;

Although the gloomy man at his feet was bleeding from all seven orifices and unconscious, his breathing was gradually stabilizing, and he wouldn't die for the time being...

He watched as his captain, who always seemed to have the upper hand, fled in a sorry state;

Watching the mountains, riddled with mine shafts, collapse like sandcastles...

It wasn't until the sandstorm blinded him that he suddenly wondered if ordinary people or low-level martial artists had the same mindset as him when watching him fight.

I felt like a tiny, insignificant ant, utterly devoid of any will to resist in the face of natural disaster...

Whether the captain was crazy or had planned it all along, it didn't matter in the face of such an absolute difference in strength.

If this young-looking martial artist had displayed such strength from the very beginning, would the fate of the Blazing Fire Squad have been different?

The captain might not dare to make a move, and his three teammates wouldn't necessarily be either dead or crippled...

However, the captain didn't seem to give him a chance to show his strength, and acted extremely decisively.

It's as if... as if I knew this day would come, as if I had rehearsed it a thousand times...

"Take good care of her for me!" a voice suddenly rang in my ears;

Hu Zhong instinctively replied, "Yes!"

He immediately saw a flash of golden light, so fast it seemed like an illusion...

Looking down again, he saw it was the female inspector who had accompanied him.

Although she was barely breathing, she was not dead after all; it seemed that a magical power within her was sustaining her life!

Hu Zhong felt a sense of relief. He was alright, thank goodness he wasn't dead! He was alright...

......

Dong Jianyuan is indeed regretting it now;

Just as Chu Yuan and Hu Zhong had guessed, he had actually already betrayed them; it wasn't a sudden madness...

At that time, he was just a martial artist in the Divine Power Realm, not a captain at all;

During a mission, their team was encountered by powerful members of the Crystalfire Clan, who immediately slaughtered them...

He was spared his life because he knelt down quickly, but at the cost of... killing two of his own teammates!

Then he was released and put to work as an undercover agent... This was a common practice; the Qin Dynasty would do the same to other ethnic groups.

After advancing to the sixth realm and forming a squad, his status within the Ninth Legion rose even higher, and his value to the Crystalfire Clan also increased.

Therefore, the Crystalfire Clan usually wouldn't let him risk doing anything that would easily expose him...

But the Clock Tower Squad is different;

The Bell Tower Squad annihilated the Lianshan Secret Realm, giving the Crystal Fire Clan a severe slap in the face, so naturally they had to retaliate!

Although the Crystalfire Clan was unwilling to pay a high price to come to the rescue, fearing an ambush by the Ninth Legion;

However, they also need to make their stance clear, otherwise other smaller tribes might not pledge allegiance to them in the future...

He already knew that the Bell Tower Squad was in charge of inspecting military discipline this time; this was a message passed on to him by the Crystal Fire Clan... and the mission he was given was to assassinate the Bell Tower Squad!

When he first saw that there were only two people coming, he didn't want to make a move. He planned to wait for the rest of the Bell Tower team to arrive before killing them all at once!

But if Li Mengru insisted on taking the Fiery Squad back to the military law office... he had no choice.

Anyway, after killing one of their team members, Yuan Yang will definitely bring reinforcements, right?

But he was terribly wrong...

That young-looking martial artist was terrifyingly strong! Although his aura didn't seem particularly oppressive, his attack was as powerful as a thunderbolt!

If I can't even handle it myself, then the rest of the team members are even less likely to be able to cope!

Originally, he had planned to defect with them after completing the mission, so that even if they went to the Crystalfire Clan, they would have their own group.

But now... I'm afraid even I'll have a hard time escaping...

If I had known, I would have chosen to ambush him...

Another feeling of thorns rising behind me, followed by a faint whooshing sound;

Dong Jianyuan knew it was that damned, strange sword again!

His armor was like paper before it, easily pierced, and his Nirvana Realm body was even less able to withstand its penetration...

He swung his palm behind him, gathering energy to form an illusory tiger head that roared!

But after a slight collision, the tiger's head crumbled, and Mo Ying easily severed one of his arms...

Chu Yuan's eyes were filled with divine light. The Glazed Void Domain relied entirely on divine sense. Although it consumed a lot of energy, it had been replenished because spiritual power could be converted into divine sense.

Just as they were about to kill Dong Jianyuan, a figure suddenly broke in from the edge of the divine sense's coverage and flew at high speed toward their location!

"The Crystalfire Clan?" Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, on the Ninth Legion's battlefield, Dong Jianyuan had the most contact with the Crystalfire Clan, and they would only defect to them...

He silently turned on the recording function on the terminal;

The honor of executing someone who disobeys military discipline is completely different from that of executing a spy from another race...

But Mo Ying didn't stop, continuing to work around Dong Jianyuan's body, modifying his knife.

Although he was in the Nirvana Realm and had amazing vitality, Dong Jianyuan in the mine had already exhausted most of his energy by taking a hit from the Wind Whisper.

And so they became increasingly unable to withstand the attacks of the shadowy figures...

He felt extremely frustrated. This young-looking martial artist didn't have many skills, but he was powerless to deal with him.

Two high-profile attacks in a row, yet showing no signs of fatigue... Just how much energy do they have in reserve?

If Chu Yuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely feel helpless;

It's not that he likes to unleash powerful attacks as soon as they meet, but rather that he doesn't know the kind of spells that consume less spiritual energy and have relatively lower power.

Only the "Swiftness" skill in the Wind Riding Sword Technique can be considered a conventional offensive method;

Ultimately, it's because the time spent cultivating is too short, and the foundation is still insufficient...

A very thin, intensely hot beam of energy shot out from afar!

Chu Yuan had been watching the newcomer closely, so he wouldn't be easily ambushed. He dodged the attack with a seemingly casual stroll.

The beam of light grazed past, leaving a burning sensation, before silently disappearing into the mountainside below, leaving behind an incredibly deep hole...

Following closely behind the beam of light was the Crystal Fire Clan member;

The flame patterns on his body were more numerous than those of the Crystal Fire Clan that Chu Yuan had encountered before, and the crystal between his eyebrows was much larger, resembling a third eye.

It gripped a long halberd between its enormous claws, which seemed to have been infused with a lot of fiery gold, and flames still occasionally leaped from it even when it wasn't being activated.

"Shuofeng! Help me!" Dong Jianyuan shouted as if he had seen a savior, "He's the mission target! A member of the Clock Tower Squad!"

"Yuan Yang?" Shuo Feng uttered the two Qin characters in an odd tone;

"Well done, Lao Dong! We finally lured him here! Let's join forces and kill him!" Chu Yuan exclaimed excitedly, as if he had spotted a big fish.

Seeing that Shuo Feng subconsciously moved away from him;

Tung Chien-yuan: "..."

You son of a bitch!
