"Take this, Ke's Flying Kick!"
Lan Xiaoke found the perfect opportunity. Standing on the earth dragon's neck, she smashed her fist right into its head.
"Bang—!"
With a loud crash, the scales on the earth dragon's head instantly shattered. Dark red blood gushed out and splattered onto the ground.
The earth dragon let out an agonizing roar, its body thrashing violently as it tried to throw Lan Xiaoke off.
But Lan Xiaoke gripped its scales tightly with one hand while relentlessly pounding its wound with the other. Her pink gloves glowed, each punch carrying immense power.
"Roar—!"
The earth dragon's roars grew weaker, its struggles losing strength. Its life force rapidly dissipated, and its blood-red vertical pupils gradually lost their luster.
Finally, it let out a low whimper. Its massive body swayed before crashing to the ground, completely dead. Blood continued to pour from the wound on its neck, dyeing the ground dark red.
"Hehe."
Lan Xiaoke breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the earth dragon's back. She dusted off her hands, panting heavily. Her face was full of exhaustion as she curled her lips and muttered,
"I'm exhausted... This earth dragon was way too tough. I'm never helping you fight a boss again!"
Ye Chuan walked over, glanced at the earth dragon, and said, "Embarrassing."
"Do you realize how weak you are now? Other people challenge those at higher levels, but you get challenged by those at lower levels, and you still almost lost."
Lan Xiaoke immediately played dumb, speaking with unjustified confidence, "Ye Chuan, you don't understand. This is a child of destiny, it's totally normal for it to fight above its level!"
At this moment, Wu Gao and Wu Tian hurried over. "Miss Lan, you're amazing! You actually defeated the earth dragon!"
Lan Xiaoke proudly raised her chin. "Let's divide the loot! Miss Xiaoke is treating everyone today!"
The Wu siblings were professional super-warriors. They knew which parts of the monster were valuable and useful. They got busy, planning to collect the earth dragon's scales, claws, teeth, and venom.
If they had brought a transport vehicle, they could have just taken the whole thing out, but since they were only a four-person squad, they only dismantled the valuable parts.
Ye Chuan had no intention of helping, just watching quietly.
...
But just as they were preparing to divide the loot, a sudden rushing sound of air came from the stone chamber's entrance. Immediately after, a blinding white light shot toward Ye Chuan's group!
"Watch out!" Sensing the threat, Wu Gao instinctively shouted.
But Ye Chuan's expression didn't even shift. As if he had encountered something amusing, he simply turned around slowly, raised his right hand, and casually blocked it.
"Boom—!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and a massive shockwave instantly spread. Rubble and dust filled the air in the stone chamber, and billowing smoke obscured everyone's vision.
The violent tremor forced Wu Gao and Wu Tian to grab onto the rock wall for support. Cowardly Ke was also so frightened that she clung to Ye Chuan's body like an octopus.
"Hahaha!"
Arrogant laughter echoed from the entrance of the stone chamber, followed by several figures slowly walking in.
There were ten of them in total, all American super-warriors wearing uniform black combat suits.
Moreover, apart from standard weapons, they held heavy rocket launchers, carried rifles on their shoulders, and were loaded with ammunition. They wore smug smiles, their eyes sweeping contemptuously over the smoke-filled area.
The leader, a tall Caucasian man, curled his lips into a triumphant smile and spoke in fluent English:
"These idiots actually didn't know we were right next to them, and they dared to peacefully divide their loot here. They were practically asking for death!"
Another blond man also laughed, his tone full of pride:
"Blown to pieces just like that. All this loot, and the chance to enter the second floor, belongs to us now!"
"Hahaha, the captain is brilliant as always! Even though we know firearms are useless against the monsters in the high tower, they are absolutely lethal to these super-warriors!"
"Exactly! That rocket just now would kill or cripple even a level thirty-plus super-warrior. There's no way they survived!"
"Go meet our God."
They chimed in one after another, laughing loudly, completely dismissing Ye Chuan's group.
In their eyes, the rocket from just now was more than enough to blow Ye Chuan's entire group to bits. All they had to do now was wait for the smoke to clear, collect the loot, and then pass through the stone door to enter the second floor.
Soon, the thick smoke and dust filling the air gradually dissipated.
As the smoke cleared, the scene inside the stone chamber was clearly presented to the American super-warriors, including Ye Chuan and his companions.
They originally thought Ye Chuan's group would have been blown to smithereens without a trace left, but the sight before them made them instantly freeze.
The smug smiles on the super-warriors' faces vanished without a trace, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief.
Ye Chuan was still standing steadily in place, even wearing an inexplicable smile.
Behind him, Lan Xiaoke, Wu Gao, and Wu Tian were completely unharmed as well. They just had a hint of anger on their faces, glaring at them with icy eyes.
On the ground, the earth dragon's corpse remained intact, and the loot was still there. Aside from blowing a massive crater into the floor and kicking up dust, the rocket had actually failed to cause the slightest harm to Ye Chuan's group!
"H-how is this possible?!" the tall Caucasian man said, his voice trembling, his face full of disbelief.
"H-how are you guys fine?! That rocket just now... even a level thirty-plus super-warrior absolutely couldn't withstand it!"
"What if I'm level seventy?" Ye Chuan asked.
"Seven... seven... bullshit, what nonsense are you spouting!" The man immediately signaled his companions to fire another rocket. But before they could act, Ye Chuan pulled out an air cannon from his spatial backpack.
Seeing the pitch-black muzzle, the American super-warriors seemed to realize something was wrong, but the next moment, they were greeted by a blinding white light.
"Boom!"
The entire maze seemed to tremble.
After the air cannon fired, only a pure expanse remained before Ye Chuan's eyes. The super-warriors didn't even leave any ash behind; they were instantly wiped out by the air cannon.
"Ah..." Seeing this scene, the Wu siblings behind him, though accustomed to being shocked, were still frightened by the effect of the weapon Ye Chuan had pulled out.
However, recalling the handgun from earlier that could disintegrate monsters, they quickly calmed down.
"Oh right... I forgot to loot their bodies." Looking at the spotlessly clean ground, Ye Chuan seemed a bit annoyed.
Whatever, stuffing their souls into the banner counts as a tiny bit of an upgrade anyway.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
