Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

Hongwu's expression was grave.

Victory seemed within reach, yet they couldn't find that one crucial element that would ultimately determine their triumph.

A deep sense of resentment spread through my heart.

Just when everyone was racking their brains but still couldn't come up with a solution...

Zhuge Yue slowly stood up, dragging her injured body.

At this moment, blood was flowing from one of her arms and one of her legs, staining her white gauze dress red.

But there was no sign of pain on her face.

All that remained was deep sorrow and regret.

In one day, you lose both your best friend and a "stranger" you grew up with who was willing to die for you.

The enormous blow caused a huge crack in her Dao heart.

"Ugh..."

Then a distinctly different singing voice came from her mouth.

The Starlight Beast's violent emotions gradually subsided.

It took no more than ten minutes in total.

The Starlight Beast completely stopped attacking.

He stood there blankly, as if he had lost his mind.

Hongwu and Ye Chen exchanged a glance.

Both of their eyes lit up.

Regardless of how Zhuge Yue did it, a perfect opportunity has now been presented to the two of them.

They made their decision almost instantly.

They both leaped into the Starlight Beast's slightly open, blood-red maw.

Gather your strength!

Let's gather our strength again!

Accumulate more and more!!!

The space around Hongwu began to deform, a distortion caused by energy reaching its extreme concentration.

Ye Chen was radiating golden light, and the bloodlines of the ancient ancestral dragon and the void beast were running wildly.

All the energy in his body was converging on his dragon-like fist.

Thirty seconds later.

Energy is stored and reaches a fixed point.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded.

It then suddenly blasted upwards at an angle.

Click click click!!

The sound of bones shattering exploded suddenly.

The two of them rushed outside without looking back.

next second.

"hold head high!!!!!!"

A fierce roar instantly erupted.

Zhuge Yue, who was controlling the Starlight Beast, spat out a mouthful of blood and instantly fainted and collapsed. Fortunately, Bai Jinhan arrived in time and supported him.

Ye Chen and Hong Wu landed back on the ground, standing in front of the remaining four people, ready to deal with the Starlight Beast's dying counterattack.

Everyone was on high alert.

However, the Starlight Beasts did not launch a fierce counterattack as they had expected.

After those two punches, he only had time to let out a roar before he instantly lost all his life force, collapsing to the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Jiang Cha's eyes widened. "Dead...dead?"

"It must be because I can no longer feel its heartbeat."

The boy who controlled the earth element spoke in a deep voice.

If they went to look inside the Starlight Beast's mouth right now, they would know.

The Starlight Beast's entire upper palate was blasted apart, and its brain tissue was also turned into a pulp by the energy.

Dead beyond dead.

Bai Jinhan held the unconscious Zhuge Yue, tears welling in his eyes, "Zhuge Yue, wake up, Ye Chen and the others have avenged them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and the others all turned around.

No one showed any joy at killing the giant beast.

What was supposed to be a chance encounter turned into the deaths of two classmates.

This directly reduced the benefits of the trip to a negative one.

The grief of losing a classmate is secondary.

Now they need to consider...

How am I going to explain this to their parents?

Apart from Ye Chen, everyone present was a prodigy from a prominent family, yet now even their bodies couldn't be preserved intact.

Hongwu's face was the most unpleasant.

He organized this trip to the secret realm. Although everyone who was willing to come accepted the risks, he ultimately bore the main responsibility.

He spoke slowly, his face grim:

"Everyone, I will take full responsibility for Zhao Qing and Lu Jun's matter; it has nothing to do with you."

"Now, you can each go and seek your own opportunities; whatever you gain is yours."

"Come back here in six days, and we'll go out together."

"Also, this shattered secret realm has more than just this Starlight Beast; there are other strange beasts as well. Be careful."

The words fell.

He turned and walked alone into the depths of the canyon.

It looks like they're going to find the Star Crystal.

Bai Jinhan held Zhuge Yue in his arms and said softly, "I'll stay here to protect Zhuge Yue. We'll talk about it after she wakes up. You two go ahead."

Ye Chen and Jiang Cha exchanged a glance and nodded.

The other boy looked at Ye Chen and the other boy and slowly said, "I'm going south. I sense that the ley line elemental crystals I need are there. Want to come along?"

Ye Chen considered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I'm going north, the direction we came from. There are ruins of a civilization there, and maybe there are treasures left behind by the master of the secret realm."

The boy nodded disappointedly, "Okay, then good luck to you guys."

"Well, good luck to you too."

Jiang Cha also spoke up: "If you encounter a monster that you can't defeat while you're alone, retreat immediately. Don't fight it head-on."

"Okay, don't worry."

After saying that, the boy sped off south.

The figure quickly disappeared.

Jiang looked at Ye Chen, "Shall we go?"

Ye Chen looked at Bai Jinhan and took off his backpack.

After removing the small detector from inside, he placed everything else beside her and said softly:

"Inside here are three life-saving pills, four energy-replenishing potions, an attack device, a defense device, and several other functional devices."

"If you're going out, take them with you. If you're not going out, stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't wander off, understand?"

Bai Jinhan slowly raised her head, revealing red eyes and a tear-streaked face, and nodded gently.

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Chen sighed.

Being too emotional isn't always a good thing for girls.

Then, he looked at Jiang Cha and nodded.

The two started running north.

……

Time flies.

Six days later.

Shattered Secret Realm.

Ruins and ruins.

Ye Chen and Jiang Cha stood on a huge underground altar.

Ye Chen put away the detector and shook his head.

"There's probably nothing good left, let's go."

"Hehe, that's quite a lot!"

Jiang Cha's eyes lit up, and he kept glancing at the large bundle beneath him.

Over the course of six days, the two of them searched more than a dozen severely damaged historical sites.

Surprisingly, they actually found something good.

A badly shattered suit of armor, entirely crafted from black gold!

This is a valuable item that can be sold by the gram. If this armor were melted down, it would yield at least billions of dollars worth of black gold!

There was also a tattered book, or more accurately, a notebook.

This is not some shabby thing like Ye Chen's "Senior Year Notes".

This diary was written by a King Wu!

It records all his experiences from the Body Tempering Realm to the ninth level of Martial King!

Incredibly precious!

If you were to sell this kind of thing, it would fetch billions of dollars, and it's a priceless treasure!

In addition, there are precious metals and medicinal herbs worth over a billion yuan.

The two have already discussed it.

Ye Chen only wants that notebook; the rest belongs to Jiang Cha.

Jiang Chaping gained over a billion yuan for no reason, so naturally he was happy.

The two then carried the package and left the underground ruins.

Align the course and prepare to return.

Just as he was about to set off, Jiang Cha suddenly squinted at the distant sky, his face full of doubt.

"Huh? What's that thing?"

"What?"

Ye Chen followed his gaze.

A small black dot could be seen floating in the distant sky.

They were so far away that you wouldn't notice them unless you looked closely.

Just as the two were wondering...

A sharp, chaotic, and murderous scream pierced through the space and suddenly entered my ears!

The two men immediately covered their heads, their faces contorted in pain.
