After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

Late at night, in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng, an abandoned deep-water wharf.

The sea breeze was salty and fishy, ​​swirling up the old newspapers on the ground with a rustling sound.

The air was filled with the musty smell of rust and engine oil.

Dozens of rusty shipping containers were piled up like a mountain, enclosing a large, empty concrete area.

At this moment, more than a dozen figures were standing on the open ground.

Leading the group were two elderly men dressed in black robes from southern Xinjiang, the second and third elders of the Black Witch Village.

Beside them were three blond, blue-eyed white men.

The three white men were unarmed, yet the air around them distorted strangely.

Wind, Earth, and Fire—three A-level ability users.

They come from the "Holy Radiance Foundation" in the West, and are extraordinary forces nurtured by the foundation.

"The Grand Elder perished in the Yangtze River, and the Holy Maiden has vanished without a trace. Is Jiangcheng truly so cursed?"

The second elder gripped the Gu staff, his voice weak.

"What are you afraid of!"

With several bigwigs from the Shenghui Consortium here, who cares about some dangerous place!

"Today we must skin Zhou Ran alive and rescue the Holy Maiden!"

The Third Elder encouraged himself.

In his view, it must have been the Grand Elder who underestimated the enemy that led to this situation.

Moreover, they also sent people to investigate the area below the Yangtze River.

If it weren't for that old corpse Miao interfering...

The old dragon's power alone was enough to kill them all.

Zhou Ran was nothing more than an opportunist lurking in the shadows.

A muscular fire-type ability user chuckled and said in broken Chinese:

"Your Chinese martial arts are just acrobatics."

"Wait a minute, I'll personally roast that yellow-skinned monkey named Zhou Ran with flames."

What our employer sets his sights on, no one else can touch.

The man's eyes were sharp. He had heard that earlier that day, Zhou Ran had used his financial power to cause the conglomerate a huge loss.

Tonight, he will take it all back.

Before he could finish speaking...

From the shadows of the shipping containers in the distance, a figure stumbled out.

It's Xiaorou.

She was dressed in rags, her hair disheveled, one hand clutching her bleeding abdomen, her face filled with the terror of surviving a near-death experience.

Tears streamed down her pale face, and her eyes held the pure fear and vulnerability of a frightened fawn.

"Second Elder!"

Third Elder!

Help me…

Xiao Rou's performance shattered the last vestiges of vigilance among the Black Witch Village members.

"A saintess?"

The Second Elder was overjoyed.

The saintess is still alive!

"It's good that you're back!"

It's good that you're back!

What about Zhou Ran?

Where is it?

Xiao Rou was breathing heavily as she pointed to a row of shipping containers not far away.

"He...he's in seclusion behind there healing his wounds!"

He's dying, he's severely injured, you must kill him!

Before the Third Elder could even begin to interrogate Xiao Rou...

The three superhumans exchanged a glance, and cruel grins simultaneously appeared on their faces.

"Turns out he was a pushover on the verge of death, so we just blasted him to the ground."

The earth-elemental ability user raised his hands, and the ground began to shake violently.

A high-temperature flame tornado condensed in the palm of the fire-type ability user.

A murderous intent arose.

Right now.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Without warning, all the doors of the shipping containers on all sides suddenly swung open.

Hundreds of powerful searchlights were lit up, their blinding beams illuminating the area as bright as day.

The bright light blinded everyone.

When their vision returned, a chilling cold shot up their spines and straight to their heads.

All around, the shipping containers were packed with hundreds of burly men dressed in black.

What they were holding were hundreds of machine guns with dark, menacing muzzles.

The cold muzzle of the gun had locked onto them firmly.

Directly in front, on the second floor of the container.

Zhou Ran, dressed in a pure black suit, stood there.

Just moments ago, Xiao Rou was playing the role of a "frightened bird," but in the blink of an eye, a pitch-black demonic blade appeared in her hand.

The two elders were not given any time to react.

The sword flew out of her hand, piercing through the two of them, but it did not kill them.

"Saintess!"

They both looked on incredulously.

It turns out that their own saintess had already betrayed them!

However, Xiaorou did not answer.

At this moment, she had already transformed into a docile cat, nimbly leaping up to the second floor and obediently kneeling at Zhou Ran's feet.

"hunting?"

Zhou Ran looked down at the frozen prey below, his tone calm.

"Do you guys have some misunderstanding about your own position?"

He patted Xiaorou's head.

"Here, you don't even deserve to be dogs."

"FUCK!"

Enraged, the fire-type ability user roared and shoved with both hands.

The blazing tornado of flames transformed into a roaring fire dragon, lunging towards Zhou Ran.

"Juggling".

Zhou Ran stood still and issued an order.

His business empire cannot be built by just a few people in Jiangcheng.

Moreover, once he obtains the complete inheritance of the Overlord Body from Mangshan, he will also go to the Underworld.

Therefore, this Black Witch Village is just the right place to be their lackey.

Killing them all would be too wasteful.

The moment the thought flashed through his mind, the dozing black-gold baby dragon in his arms suddenly opened its eyes.

Whoosh!

A bolt of black-gold lightning shot out from his arms, swelled in the wind, and transformed into a ferocious phantom several meters long.

The young dragon opened its blood-red maw and inhaled sharply at the fiery tornado that could melt steel.

call--

The raging flames of supernatural power were swallowed whole, like a noodle.

belch.

The baby dragon let out a loud burp in mid-air, then shrank to the size of a palm and obediently flew back into Zhou Ran's arms.

"This... is impossible!"

The fire-type ability user was struck by lightning and completely petrified.

His all-out attack was eaten as a snack by a beast?

"Is the performance over?"

Zhou Ran glanced at the shadows behind the shipping container.

Chen Ya, Lin Qingxue, Xiao Hongli.

They came too.

"That's enough warm-up, it's your turn to go on stage."

"These useless pieces of trash are your practice targets."

"Leave no survivors, don't let me down."

Three figures emerged from the shadows.

Their eyes had changed.

Chen Ya's fingertips were entwined with emerald green vines, and a cold smile played on her lips.

Her spirit of plants and trees was the only source of life in this steel dock, but also the most deadly threat.

Deep within Lin Qingxue's eyes, a light of annihilation flowed, her gaze already locked onto the mercenaries behind the several superhumans.

Xiao Hongli then took out the long-lost Yin-gathering Banner, its surface shrouded in Yin energy.

"yes!"

Without any hesitation, the three transformed into three afterimages, advancing instead of retreating, and charged into the enemy formation!

What Zhou Ran wanted was never a delicate vase.

Instead, he was a god of war who could guard a region for him and fight alongside him.

Right before us lies the perfect testing ground!

"court death!"

The Second Elder of Black Witch Village clutched his pierced dantian tightly, directing the Witch Demon disciples to fight back.

Chen Ya sneered and pressed her hands to the ground.

"Growing like crazy!"
