High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

Following the pungent smell, Chen Mo successfully located the waste dump where Black Cloud City disposed of its waste.

This godforsaken place is a scorched wasteland for more than ten kilometers around, with sparks rising from the ground.

With Chen Mo's current physical strength, temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius cannot harm him, so naturally they will not break the disguise of the Demon Phantom.

The only pitiful thing was his pair of shoes, which he had only bought a short time ago and were about to be ruined.

"So energy stones aren't pure energy sources after all; they can cause pollution too..."

Chen Mo initially thought that energy stones were a pollution-free, high-grade energy source, but he didn't expect them to be similar in nature to coal and oil.

Where do those energy stones come from?

Could it also be a fossil energy source left behind from some great catastrophe in the ancient abyss?

That doesn't make sense. Energy stones can be absorbed directly, but coal and oil can't.

"Whatever, who cares? It has nothing to do with me."

Chen Mo plunged into the pipe that discharged the waste residue, and easily entered the underground system of Black Cloud City along the scalding waste residue.

Contrary to Chen Mo's expectations, the waste discharge outlet was not directly connected to the energy hub, which was the boiler room he had discovered last time.

This actually connects to the sewers of Black Cloud City, or rather, the entire underground system.

Black Cloud City has a highly developed underground system, and it even resembles a prototype of an underground city.

This stands in stark contrast to the feudal imperial-like social system described above...

"40k?"

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this place didn't seem to be the world ruled by some giant golden man.

"No, the Abyss's technology used to be very advanced. What happened that led them to their current state?"

"The order has collapsed, and the newly rebuilt civilization has reverted to a feudal state..."

"This possibility is still more likely."

Chen Mo comforted himself, at least he didn't have to face those five evil gods.

Following the direction he remembered, Chen Mo headed towards the place where the energy hub used to be located.

"I'll take back as much energy liquid as possible this time; it might come in handy when my internal organs are replenishing their blood."

......

At this time, the Silver Wolf Mountains were even more lively than during the Spring Festival in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Firecrackers crackled and drums resounded...

The only difference was that the firecrackers were replaced with energy cannons, and the drumbeats were replaced with the sound of Geng Lianhu violently beating the Abyss Master.

"You little brat! Today, your Grandpa Geng will show you the power of the Earth-Splitting Golden Gourd Hammer!"

Geng Lianhu was having a blast, and he swung his golden mace at a grandmaster from Black Cloud City.

With a muffled thud, the Abyss Grandmaster was instantly smashed through the neck, bleeding profusely, and crashed straight into the Silver Wolf Mountain Range.

The remaining Abyss Masters stepped back a few paces, their feet firmly planted in the void.

Although a headshot is considered a minor injury for a grandmaster, it looks really painful.

That's the good thing about Abyss Grandmasters; they don't dare to risk their lives like Great Xia Grandmasters, so their combat power is significantly lower.

"How long has it been?"

Seeing that the Abyss Masters had backed down, Geng Lianhu turned around and glanced at Commander Hong, who was brandishing his Guan Dao.

"Three minutes!"

Commander Hong is now covered in blood, but it was all sprayed out by the Abyss Grandmaster.

He is completely unharmed, while the six Abyss Masters who attacked him are covered in cuts and stabs.

"What's wrong? You can't hold on anymore?"

Commander Hong glanced at Geng Lianhu and noticed that the old man's aura was even stronger than before.

"Bullshit! How could I possibly not be able to hold on!"

Geng Lianhu snorted angrily. He was the strongest person in the entire Kunlun Mountain Fortress, so there was no way he couldn't hold on.

"If their vital points weren't still not fully exposed, I would have smashed them all to death with one blow each!"

After saying that, Geng Lianhu transformed into a golden light once again and rushed towards the several masters from the abyss.

Beside him, Xue Le found his target among the more than sixty grandmasters.

Yun Qi, Lord of Black Cloud City.

"Yunqi! Today I'm going to smash your dog's head in!"

"Let's offer blood as a sacrifice to Zhu Hu!"

Leaving his back to Xu Qing and the others, Xue Le's fists, wreathed in blood, charged straight at Yun Qi, the city lord of Black Cloud City.

"It's you!"

Yun Qi's pupils contracted; he still remembered how this old guy had severely injured him back then.

But then they realized that what they needed to do now was to hold off these venerable beings from the Land of Glory, giving the Energy Tower enough time to recharge.

Thinking of this, Yun Qi was no longer afraid and drew his long sword from his waist, rushing towards Xue Le.

The two collided without restraint, and the resulting shockwave instantly tore apart the surrounding trees.

"What, you still want revenge for that girl?"

Yun Qi's face showed a provocative expression. He knew very well how cruelly he had killed that girl.

He also remembered Xue Le's angry expression back then.

It was only then that Yunqi realized how twisted his mind was, and that this was the expression he liked best!

"die!"

Xue Le did not reply, but instead used his arm as a knife to unleash the traditional martial art of Tongbei Quan.

As the dean of the Boxing King Academy, Xue Le is proficient in all known boxing techniques in the world. He doesn't need weapons because his body is the best weapon!

Yun Qi raised his sword to parry, but Xue Le's immense strength pierced through the blade and deeply penetrated Yun Qi's body.

"puff!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yun Qi dodged and retreated.

This old thing is even stronger than it was a few years ago!

"Why are you running away! Weren't you very fierce when you harmed that child?!"

Xue Le rarely showed anger and ferocity.

He had chosen to abandon the child for the sake of the bigger picture, and this decision was deeply ingrained in his mind.

Indeed, Xue Le is a formidable grandmaster.

But at the same time, he is also a person! A person with feelings!

He buried this hatred deep in his heart, and it was never visible in his daily life.

Whenever I close my eyes, I replay Zhu Hu's eyes and the outstretched limbs in my mind over and over again.

Xue Le will never have peace of mind if he doesn't kill Yun Qi!

Like Zhu Long, he blamed himself for Zhu Hu's death.

Only by killing Yun Qi and taking his head to Zhu Hu's grave as a sacrifice could they feel a little better!

Yun Qi had been hiding for so many years, and Xue Le had been waiting for the right opportunity.

The time is ripe today; if we don't act now, when will we?

"Today it's a fight to the death; you can't escape!"

Xue Le's arms glowed with blood-red light, and golden Grandmaster essence surged from his body, enveloping his arms.

"Damn it, he's insane!"

Fear flashed in Yun Qi's eyes. Who would use their Grandmaster's power right from the start?

He really wanted to kill me!

Xu Qing, who was entangled with the remaining Abyss Masters, glanced back at Xue Le before turning back to continue the fight.

Xue Le's actions undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their battle, but everyone could understand.

As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but they were martial artists, a bunch of brutes.

A brute like Xue Le usually takes revenge without holding back overnight, so it's already quite remarkable that he's managed to hold it in for so many years.
