While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

The air was torn apart by the slash, producing a piercing sonic boom.

Cao Kun neither dodged nor avoided the attack; a hint of contempt even appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Too slow!"

Just as the giant blade was about to touch his scalp, Cao Kun suddenly stretched out his right hand, his body as smooth as glass, his hand like a heavenly clamp.

"when--!"

A loud metallic clang rang out, echoing throughout the entire hospital.

Cao Kun actually caught that execution knife, which was powerful enough to split a tank, with one hand!

The blade of the giant sword pressed against his glassy palm, yet it couldn't even leave a white mark.

Countless bolts of lightning surged back along the blade, striking Pyramid Head's bare chest and exploding into clouds of blood mist.

"Get over here!"

Cao Kun's eyes widened, and he suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, unleashing terrifying physical power.

With a "snap," he actually managed to leave five clear finger marks on the rusty execution knife.

The massive body of Triangle Head was pulled by Cao Kun and lost its balance, staggering forward and falling.

Cao Kun's left fist was already poised to strike, with lightning gathering on its surface, and a thunder tiger could be faintly seen roaring.

"boom--!"

The punch landed squarely on the side of Pyramid Head's massive triangular metal helmet.

Even heavy metal several inches thick was instantly dented into a huge crater by Cao Kun's powerful punch, which was at the fourth level of body refinement.

Pyramid Head's body, weighing hundreds of pounds, flew out like a cannonball.

With a loud bang, it crashed through the brick wall at the end of the corridor, sending rubble flying and crashing into the ruins of the hall.

"Ah! Damn, is that you?"

Megan's voice came again from the depths of the corridor.

"Stay put, this isn't over yet!"

Cao Kun replied, and then, like a golden bolt of lightning, leaped directly down through the gap in the wall.

"boom!"

He landed heavily, his feet creating two huge craters in the ground, filling the air with dust.

Amidst the ruins, Pyramid Head swayed as he struggled to his feet.

His prized iron helmet was severely deformed, revealing a corner of twisted, rotting, dark red flesh.

He roared madly, discarded the bent executioner's knife, and charged at Cao Kun like a mad bull.

"Don't give up yet."

Cao Kun snorted coldly, and with a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

The naked eye of the man with the triangular head couldn't possibly capture Cao Kun's movements.

He only felt an extremely domineering aura instantly approaching.

Cao Kun lunged into Triangle Head's arms, his right elbow slamming into the man's chest.

"Thump—!"

The blow produced a dull thud, like the striking of a bell.

Triangle Head's chest cavity collapsed instantly, and the large tendons and spine on his back even bulged outwards under this blow.

But he is, after all, the embodiment of the will of the underworld; as long as fear remains, he is immortal.

His thick arms gripped Cao Kun tightly, trying to strangle him with brute force.

"Want to play wrestling?"

Cao Kun's eyes sharpened, and his entire body shone with a brilliant, crystal-like light.

Lightning bolts transformed into countless tiny needles, frantically piercing every pore of the triangular head.

"Cut it off!"

Cao Kun shook his arms, unleashing a tremendous force of ten thousand jin.

"Click-clack—"

With a sickening cracking sound, Cao Kun forcefully broke Triangle Head's thick arms.

It hung limply at its sides.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Kun grabbed the two sides of the triangular iron head with both hands and thrust his knee out!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive heavy blows, each imbued with a strong earth element and lightning.

The seemingly indestructible iron helmet gradually twisted and shattered in Cao Kun's hands.

Pyramid Head's massive body was like a deflated rag doll in front of Cao Kun, utterly powerless.

He kept backing away, trying to create distance.

But Cao Kun's attacks were like a storm, overwhelming him and leaving him no chance to breathe.

"Aren't you the executioner?"

Cao Kun grabbed Triangle Head by the throat and lifted him into the air.

"In my rules, evil spirits only face death!"

Cao Kun's right fist began to tremble violently, and all the golden light and lightning converged in his fist at this moment.

It created a dazzling spot of light that was impossible to look at directly.

"Go to hell!"

"Boom—!"

This punch pierced straight through Pyramid Head's chest.

A violent burst of lightning erupted instantly within Pyramid Head's body.

It utterly pulverized his flesh, bones, and even that eerie will, from the inside out.

"ah--!"

For the first time, Pyramid Head let out such a clear and terrified scream.

The lightning engulfed everything.

When the light faded, Cao Kun still stood in the center of the ruins.

On the ground, only a pile of broken metal fragments and a pool of grayish-white powder remained.

His towering, two-meter-tall frame began to slowly shrink.

The glassy sheen faded, and the skin returned to its normal color.

He was breathing heavily, and his body was stained with some dark red blood.

However, it was quickly evaporated by the residual electric arc on the skin surface.

"Ding! Killed a C-rank monster, gained 5000000 merit points."

"Ding! Killed a C-rank monster and obtained the skill 'Shrinking the Earth to an Inch'."

"500 million?"

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow, finally feeling a little better.

Monsters of this caliber are indeed much more valuable than nurses.

Furthermore, he was rewarded with the skill "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch," a renowned spatial magic technique from Taoism.

He didn't bother checking the skills; he turned around and looked at the tightly closed iron door on the second floor.

At this moment, the sense of peeling away from the inner world is intensifying.

The surrounding crimson muscle walls began to wither and weather, gradually turning back into the original dilapidated cement walls.

Cao Kun moved swiftly, took a step, and appeared at the door of the ward deep in the corridor the next second.

Shrinking the earth to an inch!

"Bang!"

He pushed open the door.

Megan was huddled under the hospital bed, clutching the bracelet that Cao Kun had given her tightly in her hand.

The magical artifact was emitting a faint but resilient blue light, firmly blocking the black mold that was trying to approach.

Megan froze for three seconds the moment she saw Cao Kun walk in.

"Damn it..."

She screamed and scrambled out.

She plunged headfirst into Cao Kun's embrace, which still radiated a fiery aura of magical power.

"Waaaaah... I thought I was going to die here!"

There are so many faceless monsters here! And a freak with a big knife…”

Megan cried her eyes out, snot and tears all over Cao Kun's chest, which he hadn't had time to put on his clothes for yet.

Cao Kun patted her shoulder and felt her trembling violently due to extreme fear.

"Alright, stop crying. That freak has turned to ashes."

Cao Kun turned to look out the window. Although the fog was still there, the oppressive malice had lessened considerably.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first."

Cao Kun took out an outer garment from the system space and put it on, then put his arm around Megan's waist.

Megan clung to him tightly, as if afraid that Cao Kun would disappear if she let go.

Only then did she notice Cao Kun's exposed muscles.

Normally, she would have pounced on him already.

But right now, she really wasn't in the mood.

"How are we going to get out?" Megan asked in a low voice.

"Fight your way out."

Cao Kun said calmly.
