Rampage Mode, Invincible Look on My Face

【In a fit of rage, you transformed directly into Super Saiyan 2!】

【Then you activated the alien race’s Three Heads and Six Arms innate talent. Each hand seized a spiritual treasure, while several more were clamped between the mouths of your three heads.】

【Every punch you threw was accompanied by thunder and lightning, and every strike unleashed a sky full of flashing blades and swords.】

【You charged in and out of the mine seven times, moving as though no one else were there.】

【The aliens in the mine were slaughtered until their remains were scattered everywhere.】

【The Myriad Souls Banner followed close behind. Every time you killed someone, it captured their soul and sealed it within the banner to be refined.】

【The Myriad Souls Banner was in desperate need of souls.】

【While studying the Myriad Souls Banner, the Old Hag had released all the souls inside it.】

【Of course, once they left the Myriad Souls Banner, those souls could only meet one fate: vanishing into thin air.】

【“D-Don’t hit us anymore! We surrender! Spare us! Spare us!”】

【Your entire body blazed with flames, mixed with flashing lightning and rolling thunder. You had three heads and six arms, golden hair standing straight on end, blood-red Qilin arms, and a bizarre assortment of spiritual treasures covering your body.】

【Just standing there, you looked the very picture of invincibility.】

【The minotaurs in the mine had completely lost their nerve. They could not even summon the courage to fight you to the death.】

【Looking at the last few minotaurs kneeling on the ground and crying for mercy, you showed not the slightest trace of sympathy.】

【“Crying? You’ll die even if you cry!”】

【You struck out with a palm from a distance. The force was so great that the pressure alone flattened the idiots’ heads.】

【You rescued the members of the Firewood Sect from the mine.】

【Fortunately, the members of the Firewood Sect had merely been living miserable lives. They were all still alive.】

【After all, cultivators possessed tenacious vitality.】

【You asked them what had happened.】

【“Sigh… Those savage aliens are completely unreasonable…”】

【Shen Yifeng was among the miners.】

【Although he was at the ninth level of Core Transformation and fully capable of protecting himself, he could not bear to watch his fellow disciples suffer. Thus, he had willingly stayed behind to work, using himself as a condition to keep the Ironblood Sect from harming the members of the Firewood Sect.】

【It all began after you left Firewood Town.】

【After your departure, the Firewood Sect continued to follow the economic development path you had laid out, advancing along it with unwavering determination.】

【They continued capturing alien bandits and alien thieves, sending them to work in the surrounding mines.】

【With every hammer blow and every shovel strike from those evildoers, the Firewood Sect’s resources grew increasingly abundant.】

【The Firewood Sect became wealthy.】

【But they did not forget the villagers around them.】

【Those who became rich first helped those who were still poor. Before long, Firewood Town and all the surrounding villages were thriving.】

【The people’s creativity and enthusiasm for life had been ignited. Everyone was working toward a better future.】

【As the region grew prosperous, tax revenues increased as well. The Firewood Sect did not refuse to collect taxes; they simply levied them at a reasonable rate. When the people were poor, they did not force them to pay.】

【This attracted the attention of the Ironblood Sect, the Firewood Sect’s superior administrative sect. This was the official term; ordinarily, people would say that one sect was another sect’s vassal.】

【When the Ironblood Sect came to Firewood Town to investigate, they discovered that the place had become astonishingly prosperous.】

【The unreasonable minotaur race immediately indulged their disciples in plundering the area.】

【Not only that, they drove every member of the Firewood Sect to the mines to work, taking the mines—the region’s greatest source of wealth—for themselves.】

【The Ironblood Sect was stripping the land bare. Those minotaurs had no idea how to manage anything for the long term.】

【As a result, it did not take long for them to ruin Firewood Town, reducing it to the wretched state you had seen before—indeed, it was even worse than when you first arrived.】

【“Who would have thought that our attempt to bring prosperity to the region would end up harming our neighbors? Some were killed, some fled, and hardly anyone comes here anymore…”】

【Shen Yifeng sat on the ground and let out a long, heavy sigh.】

【“It’s all because the Firewood Sect was too weak. We were no match for the Ironblood Sect and could only let them do as they pleased, clinging to life while waiting for a chance to rise again.

Heaven has eyes. It allowed us to wait until you came back…”】

【Shen Yifeng now looked old and weathered, utterly unlike the powerful cultivator at the late Core Transformation stage that he was.】

【You knew he could have avoided this fate. He simply could not bear to abandon his fellow disciples, so he had chosen to suffer alongside them.】

【Ma Bang walked over, a longsword clasped in his hand.】

【“Sixth Elder! Take us to the Ironblood Sect! We’ve endured this humiliation all this time for the sake of this one opportunity!”】

【The disciples of the Firewood Sect all picked up their weapons, their gazes filled with grim determination.】

【“Our Ancestor ordered us to endure, so we endured until today. Now that the Sixth Elder has returned, we don’t have to hold back anymore!”】

【“Avenge our neighbors!”】

【“If we don’t vent this humiliation, we’ll never be able to call ourselves men!”】

【The crowd was fired up.】

【But you waved your hand.】

【“You’re not going. I’ll handle this alone.”】

【Shen Yifeng said,】

【“That won’t do. The Ironblood Sect’s leader, Bull Tri-Horn, has already reached the Earth-Shattering Realm. Your cultivation has improved, and your combat strength far surpasses that of cultivators at the same level, but the Earth-Shattering Realm is the realm in which one can use divine abilities. You alone…”】

【You interrupted Shen Yifeng.】

【“I want you to do something more important.”】

【“What?”】

【“Find the villagers who fled this region and bring them back. For a place to develop and prosper, it ultimately needs people. A place where nine out of ten homes stand empty will remain a poor backwater, even if it is paved with gold.

People are the foundation!”】

【Your words rang out with such force and authority that no one dared refuse. The members of the Firewood Sect could only obey.】

【Afterward, you rushed straight to the Ironblood Sect.】

【The upper ranks of this sect were made up of minotaurs, so roughly eighty percent of its members were minotaurs as well.】

【The sect’s mountain gate stood on a solitary mountain surrounded by beautiful scenery.】

【At the foot of the mountain was a prosperous little town with a flourishing commercial economy. It was called Hundred-Street Town.】

【As in other places, humans always made up the largest proportion of the common people.】

【You saw many aliens dressed in the Ironblood Sect’s uniforms wandering through the streets, eating, drinking, and amusing themselves.】

【Whatever they consumed here, they never paid a single coin.】

【Since this was the Ironblood Sect’s territory, those being freeloaded off had no choice but to greet them with smiles.】

【Only after the aliens had gone far away did they dare mutter a few complaints.】

【“Those thickheaded minotaurs spend more than I earn in a month!”】

【You had just arrived and were eating at an inn when you heard the proprietress say this from behind the counter.】

【The waiter lowered his voice.】

【“Shh! My goodness, you can’t say things like that in broad daylight! And so loudly, too! Do you want to die?”】

【The proprietress was clearly a woman of fiery character.】

【“After working myself to the bone to support those bloated, troublemaking brutes, I might as well be dead! If those aliens weren’t restricting our human cultivation, I’d learn a few tricks and fight them myself!”】

【You looked up at the proprietress. She was around thirty, still charming, and carried a heroic sharpness in her features.】

【She reminded you of Mei Sanniang from Whitecloud County.】

【“Proprietress, come here for a moment.”】

【You beckoned to her.】

【Though she was still fuming, the proprietress came over with a smile.】

【“Sir, what can I do for you? Was there something wrong with the food? Xiao Er! Prepare this customer another table of dishes!”】

【You could see the bitterness hidden in the proprietress’s eyes and brows.】

[Under the crushing pressure of the other races, treading carefully had become second nature to them.]

[“No need. If you can, please tell the others in town that today is the day the Ironblood Sect falls. Anyone brave enough can go up the mountain and watch the spectacle.”]
