Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

He grabbed Chu Yanran and pulled her back.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the altar suddenly cracked open.

A huge stone statue emerged from inside.

"This is... a Guardian?"

Chu Yanran exclaimed in surprise.

The stone statue slowly turned around, and its two eyes suddenly lit up with a red light.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the stone statue charged towards the two of them.

"careful!"

Ye Ming grabbed Chu Yanran and darted to the side.

The stone statue's fist slammed heavily into the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.

"How to do?"

Chu Yanran was somewhat flustered.

Ye Ming said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. Leave it to me."

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

Hey! Big guy!

Ye Ming shouted at the stone statue.

"Come and fight me!"

Upon hearing this, the stone statue turned around.

Two red eyes stared intently at Ye Ming.

"Roar!"

With another roar, the stone statue charged forward once more.

Ye Ming remained calm and circulated his internal energy.

"Nine Revolutions Devouring Heaven Demon Technique, activate!"

In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from Ye Ming.

Chu Yanran was dumbfounded.

"This...what is this?"

Ye Ming did not answer, but coldly watched the stone statue rushing towards him.

"Come on. Let me see how good you really are."

As he spoke, he threw a punch.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Ye Ming's fist collided heavily with the stone statue's fist.

A powerful shockwave spread out instantly.

Chu Yanran was forced to retreat repeatedly by this force.

"My God... is this the power of cultivators?"

she muttered.

The battle continues.

Ye Ming and the stone statue fought back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

The entire pyramid was trembling, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Just then, Ye Ming suddenly discovered the statue's weakness.

"That's it!"

He shouted and punched a dent in the chest of the stone statue.

"boom!"

The stone statue shattered upon impact, turning into countless fragments scattered across the ground.

Chu Yanran was dumbfounded.

"You...you actually broke it?"

Ye Ming patted the dust off his hands and laughed:

"This is nothing. It's a piece of cake."

With that, he walked toward the altar and picked up the golden mask.

"Found it. Let's go back."

Chu Yanran was still immersed in the shock she had just experienced, and nodded blankly.

Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard a sinister voice:

"Leave the mask behind. Otherwise... none of you will leave here alive."

Ye Ming and Chu Yanran turned around at the same time.

A group of men in black appeared behind them without them noticing.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.

Chu Yanran's expression changed and she said, "It's...it's the Nine Gates!"

Ye Ming frowned and asked, "Nine Gates?"

Chu Yanran explained, "A mysterious organization. They specialize in finding all kinds of antiques and treasures."

"They are ruthless and unscrupulous."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming let out a cold laugh.

"Oh? That's perfect. I love dealing with these kinds of people."

The middle-aged man sneered, "Kid, don't think you're something special just because you broke a stone statue."

"Hand over the mask obediently, and I might consider sparing your life."

Ye Ming said disdainfully, "You guys?"

"You dare to say such things to me?"

The middle-aged man was furious upon hearing this.

"court death!"

He waved his hand, and the men in black behind him immediately rushed forward.

Ye Ming remained calm and turned to Chu Yanran, saying:

"Watch closely. This is my true strength."

As he spoke, he circulated his internal energy.

"boom!"

A powerful aura erupted from Ye Ming.

The entire pyramid was trembling.

Before the men in black could even get close, they were blasted away by this aura.

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.

"This... what kind of power is this?"

Ye Ming looked at him coldly.

"Now, do you still want the mask?"

The middle-aged man swallowed hard, trying to appear calm, and said:

"Kid... don't think you're something special just because you have some strength."

"Our Nine Gates..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ming suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Nine Gates?"

Ye Ming sneered and said, "In my eyes, they are nothing but ants."

As he spoke, he pointed out.

Before the middle-aged man could react, he felt a powerful force sweep over his entire body.

"what!"

With a scream, he flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

The other men in black were terrified when they saw this.

"Quick... run!"

The group turned and fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yanran was dumbfounded.

"My God...you...you're amazing!"

Ye Ming smiled and said, "This is nothing. You haven't seen my true abilities yet."

As he spoke, he looked at the golden mask in his hand.

"We should go back."

Chu Yanran nodded and followed Ye Ming out of the pyramid.

Back on the helicopter, Chu Yanran was still immersed in the shock she had just experienced.

"Ye Ming, you are really amazing."

"I have never seen such a powerful person."

Ye Ming smiled and said, "You flatter me. I'm just a little stronger than the average person."

Chu Yanran shook her head and said, "You're too modest."

"correct……"

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Ye Ming thought for a moment and said, "I need to get back to my own world as soon as possible."

"There are still many things waiting for me to handle over there."

Chu Yanran felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Ye Ming laughed and said, "Don't worry. We still have a chat group, don't we?"

"If I have the chance in the future, I will come to see you again."

Chu Yanran then smiled.

"It's a promise then. You absolutely have to come!"

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Definitely."

At this moment, the system's beep sounded suddenly.
