Flames scorched Jiang Cheng. His clothes began to tear, turning into fragments and igniting under the intense heat.
"First Stage Flame Burst!"
Jiang Cheng's aura surged dramatically as he charged at Nie Xuan.
Yan Zhi wiped her tears, gripping her ice weapon tightly, and shouted through gritted teeth, "Everyone, retreat!"
"Where do you think you're going!"
Seeing this, Nie Xuan unleashed overwhelming purple flames that spread out like a sea of fire clouds.
Swoosh!
Just then, an equally ferocious crimson flame blocked Nie Xuan's attack.
"Your opponent is me!"
Jiang Cheng said coldly, his killing intent boiling.
The silver brass knuckles on his hands also turned scalding red under the scorching flames.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Nie Xuan glared at the retreating Enforcers and furiously attacked Jiang Cheng.
His bone claws moved with extreme speed, instantly piercing Jiang Cheng's chest!
Then, he flung him away!
Behind Nie Xuan, massive wings of purple flame unfurled, and he launched himself in pursuit of the distant Enforcers!
Boom!
Flames erupted all around!
A towering wall of crimson firelight formed, intercepting Nie Xuan.
Jiang Cheng struggled to his feet, covered in blood.
But before the blood could even drip, it was swallowed by the raging flames.
At this moment, his internal organs had been pierced through; it was a miracle he was still alive.
"Not dead yet!"
A cold glint appeared in Nie Xuan's sharp eyes.
Moreover, the strength of the kid before him was increasing at a terrifying rate.
In a flash, Nie Xuan's figure struck again.
He understood that if he didn't completely kill this kid, he could forget about catching up to the Enforcer Bureau agents.
The sharp bone claws, gleaming with a metallic luster, viciously pierced into Jiang Cheng's heart.
This strike completely severed his life force!
Jiang Cheng grinned, saying weakly, "Second Stage Flame Burst!"
As he spoke, intense fire burned through his body from the inside out.
At this moment, he completely transformed into a man of fire, devoid of consciousness.
Thump!
Jiang Cheng smashed a punch into Nie Xuan.
The powerful attack actually knocked Nie Xuan back a few paces, leaving a scorch mark on his chest.
To Nie Xuan, this was a naked insult!
In an instant.
Fists and bone claws clashed madly in the sky, the two figures moving so fast they became a blur.
Crimson flames intertwined with purple flames, dyeing the sky in magnificent colors.
"Die!"
Seizing an opportunity, ruthlessness flashed in Nie Xuan's eyes as his bone claws met the attack, severing Jiang Cheng's wrist.
A horizontal slash nearly split his shoulder open.
Looking at the fallen Jiang Cheng, Nie Xuan panted slightly.
This kid was much harder to deal with than he had imagined!
To think the mortal realm possessed such an expert!
Because of this, Nie Xuan's resolve to destroy this world grew even firmer.
He would usurp the spiritual essence here and head to the Ancient Continent to vie for supremacy!
In that grander world, he would display his true power!
"Third Stage Flame Burst!"
A voice so weak it was barely discernible rang out.
Suddenly.
Jiang Cheng, whose body had been burned beyond recognition by the flames, staggered to his feet and stepped forward.
He threw one final punch, smashing toward Nie Xuan with ultimate speed!
This breathtaking punch bathed the entire world in a crimson hue.
It was like a blazing sun suddenly appearing in the night sky!
Boom!
Taking the hit head-on, Nie Xuan's figure plummeted like a cannonball, crashing into the scorched ruins of the Enforcer Bureau building.
After throwing this punch, Jiang Cheng's swaying body began to disintegrate.
Only after seeing that all the Enforcer Bureau personnel had safely evacuated did he slowly collapse.
He turned into scattering flames, drifting down...
"Salute!"
In the distance, the crowd from the Enforcer Bureau looked toward the flames at the building, tears in their eyes as they offered a military salute!
...
Mystic Realm.
A giant ape with a white head and red feet was wielding a long staff, fighting against two martial artists in black.
Below them, countless martial artists in black uniforms were clashing with demons of various shapes and sizes.
The two sides engaged in a fierce slaughter.
This filled the barren land of the Mystic Realm with the aura of blood and death.
Clang!
The white ape swung its giant iron staff, smashing it toward a short, fat man.
Caught off guard, the man was struck by the staff, his ribs caving in.
"Haizhu!"
The other martial artist shouted.
The heavy hammer in his hand swept toward the white ape.
Clang!
The white ape took two steps back and laughed heartily, "Not bad, refreshing!"
The other tall, thin man stared at him coldly, "Was it you who killed Yin Tiger and Si Snake?"
"Hehehe, no!"
Zhu Yan rested the staff on his shoulder, baring his teeth in a grin, "Of course, you can also pretend I killed them. I don't mind."
"Beast!"
Wei Sheep gripped his heavy hammer and viciously smashed it toward Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan held up his staff and blocked it effortlessly.
"Boring, boring! Too boring!"
As the second-ranked among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits of the Hundred Demons.
His strength was not something ordinary demons could compare to.
Haizhu had already shakily climbed to his feet, a flush appearing on his chubby face.
"Wei Sheep! Pin him down!"
Haizhu said with a solemn gaze.
Wei Sheep was slightly startled, "What are you going to do?"
"It seems our Pantheon is being looked down upon," Haizhu gripped his heavy axe and grinned.
Seeing this, Wei Sheep said slowly, "Leave it to me!"
As he spoke, he threw his heavy hammer!
The flying hammer smashed toward Zhu Yan.
"Boring! Don't you have any other tricks?"
Zhu Yan swung his giant staff and viciously swatted it away.
Bang!
The heavy hammer was sent flying!
At that moment, Wei Sheep dashed in front of him in the blink of an eye.
His tall, thin body closed in as if he had no bones, quickly coiling around Zhu Yan like a snake and locking down his limbs.
"What... what are you doing?!"
Zhu Yan turned pale with fright. He tried to struggle, only to find the guy on his back wrapping tighter and tighter.
Thump! Thump!
At this time, Haizhu's short, fat figure walked over, stomping on the ground.
With every step, his body grew significantly larger.
Now, he had actually turned into a four-meter-tall giant, even taller than Zhu Yan.
"You, what are you going to do!"
Zhu Yan roared in terror.
The giant axe was swung up! The movement was extremely slow!
But at this moment, Zhu Yan couldn't dodge at all; he could only watch helplessly as the axe enlarged in his pupils.
Thud!
The giant axe fell, and blood splattered...
"Cough, cough!"
Wei Sheep knelt on the ground, dry heaving.
Foul-smelling blood had sprayed all over his face.
On the other side, Haizhu reverted to his original appearance due to exhaustion, his entire body going limp as he collapsed onto the ground.
"Damn it, couldn't you aim somewhere else!"
Haizhu said helplessly, "Be thankful I didn't aim for your head. Your locking technique is far inferior to Si Snake's."
Wei Sheep stayed silent, then sighed deeply, "How are things on Chen Dragon's side?"
"His strength ranks in the top three among the Twelve Gods. Don't worry,"
Haizhu consoled, though it was obvious he didn't have much confidence himself.
Wei Sheep struggled to his feet, looking at the slaughtering demons below, and said slowly, "Let's move. It's time to finish off these beasts."
...
Mystic Realm, another corner.
A long-haired man in a black uniform wielded a nine-ring broadsword, unleashing wide, sweeping attacks.
His body was entirely covered in blood, making him look quite terrifying.
Even so, his ringed broadsword maintained its chilling killing intent, his offensive unabated.
Opposite him, Kui Long remained looking calm and breezy. A smile appeared on his handsome, elegant face as he said, "Chen Dragon, heh, you call yourself a dragon too?"
Chen Dragon stared at him coldly, his broadsword slashing horizontally.
Clang!
Kui Long raised his hand, grabbing the blade barehanded, and flung the man away.
Staring at him with a dark gaze, Kui Long smiled and said, "Don't use the word 'Dragon' on yourself so casually. You aren't worthy!"
"Then are you?"
A bone-chilling voice rang out.
A black Pantheon cape rustled in the wind.
The tall, imposing, and aloof figure stood like an unsheathed sword. An overwhelming killing intent enveloped Kui Long.
In that split second, Kui Long actually felt his heart palpitate.
This was the power of bloodline suppression!
He fixed his gaze on the man before him and uttered solemnly, syllable by syllable, "Long Aoyun!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
