Fengnan Province.

Among a lush, green mountain forest.

A convoy of all-black luxury vehicles was proceeding along the road at a steady pace.

Each vehicle was adorned with silver patterns and bore the inscription "Mingyuan" in small characters on its side.

Da Xiong sat in the back seat of the middle vehicle, dressed in a white women's blouse and dark purple slim-fitting trousers. She tilted her head slightly, supporting her face with one hand, quietly watching the live broadcast of the National Ji Wu Lie Zhan Competition. Her other hand gently stroked a pure white kitten resting on her lap.

"How wonderful," she murmured.

"Even in Chaoyu, Yi-ge can quickly gain a foothold and carve out his own world."

No one responded to her.

This time, she was traveling alone to establish a branch office in another city.

Since the last decisive battle where they repelled the Quanxin Group from another province, Mingyuan's development had expanded outward.

Currently, more than a dozen branches had been opened outside of Suiyang.

And this time, the place she was going to was the provincial capital of Lian'an Province, where several previous attempts to open branches had been sabotaged.

That place was originally Longmen Diao's hometown, but Longmen Diao's family wasn't strong enough in Lian'an Province, so the company had to pave the way itself.

Watching the live broadcast, Da Xiong felt more and more that Mingyuan's future might accelerate and transform into a truly large-scale alliance of dead-end people after this competition.

Before this, no matter how much they expanded across provinces, without truly touching the self-circulating cities, it wasn't truly touching the upper echelons of the entire Yi country.

Without the foundation and connections of self-circulating cities, a group like theirs could be destroyed instantly by a single word or policy change from above.

But now...

Suddenly, a needle-like sense of threat surged rapidly into Da Xiong's brow.

Boom!!!

The lead car was suddenly struck by a black shadow that shot out from the side.

The car rolled and flew sideways, exploding into a fireball in mid-air before plunging down the cliff.

Moreover, black shadows rushed out of the forest one after another, slamming into the other Mingyuan vehicles.

The vehicles flew up and exploded, with shockwaves and hot wind scattering debris everywhere.

Da Xiong's car was also hit by a black shadow, rolling out and exploding into flames.

Fires burned in clusters, some vehicles plunging down the cliff on the right, others burning on the road.

The blinding firelight dyed the surroundings a blood red.

The thick, acrid stench of smoke polluted the surrounding pure air.

"Solved. Mingyuan's important figure, Da Xiong Qiao Yani."

The black figures on the left side converged. The leader took out a communicator and reported in a deep voice.

"Pathetic. If this is all they've got, how dare they meddle across borders."

"Send the video."

Chaoyu, martial arts hall.

In the boiling arena.

Li Cheng Yi suddenly received a text message.

He took out his phone and saw it was a video message.

'It's a pity that refusing a sincere old man is not a good habit for young people.'

There was a link below this sentence.

Li Cheng Yi looked up at Yu Long and the others' excited and agitated expressions, took a few steps back, and walked to a corner where others couldn't see him. He opened the video on his phone.

Immediately, explosions occurred in the convoy in the mountain forest.

The video camera zoomed in thoughtfully, magnifying the window of the car Da Xiong was riding in, showing the side of Da Xiong's gentle and beautiful face.

Boom!!

In the blink of an eye, this car was also overturned and exploded.

'Threatening me?' Li Cheng Yi understood the other party's meaning.

If it were someone else, they might really be threatened, but unfortunately...

They were dealing with him.

Even thousands of kilometers away, he could still sense the existence of the Huayu Pearl.

Moreover, some things, some people...were different from before.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Crisp footsteps came from the flames on the road.

Thousands of kilometers away at the scene of the attack, a group of newly successful black-armored cyborgs, having just sent the video, heard a sound.

The group fell silent, a sense of unease inexplicably gripping their hearts. They looked up, following the sound.

They saw in the flames.

A slender figure wearing pure white full-body armor was calmly walking out, sparks flying around her.

"Ambush, ambush, hiding your heads and concealing your tails."

The figure seemed to be blossoming with pure white lily flowers, which trembled slightly in the breeze.

"Really, my rare good mood has been ruined by you..."

Da Xiong's voice came from inside the armor.

She flicked her white metallic long hair behind her.

"Exoskeleton!? To have put it on in time, even after that, attack! Quick battle, quick resolution!" The leading black-armored man waved his hand and rushed forward first.

A total of twelve cyborgs, split into four groups, charged towards Da Xiong at full speed.

Just then, a huge white shadow suddenly flew out from behind Da Xiong, passing over her head and pouncing towards the group.

Chih!

The white shadow landed, and sharp claws slashed the person in front.

A flash of blood, and the person's body seemed to be made of paper, instantly splitting into three pieces, armor and all!

At this time, the white shadow landed, and the others could see what it was.

"!!? This is!?"

"What monster!?"

In the firelight, the huge white shadow was five meters long and two meters high, with white fur all over its body and ferocious black claws and teeth. It was a giant white cat magnified many times!

The white cat stood in front of Da Xiong, lowering its head and making a terrifying roar. The flesh under its fur writhed, as if many living insects were crawling under its skin.

Saliva dripped from its large mouth with sharp teeth onto the ground, quickly corroding small pits in the road surface.

"Kill them, Xiaobai." Da Xiong looked at her exploding vehicle with regret. "Hurry up."

Woo!!

The giant white cat responded and suddenly pounced on the group of black-armored people.

Its speed was much faster than theirs, even approaching the speed of sound.

With a series of screams, in just ten seconds, there wasn't a single living person left on the scene.

Da Xiong reached out and rubbed the white cat who was licking her claws.

"Let's go back."

Chaoyu.

Li Cheng Yi smiled slightly, receiving a message in the encrypted channel's small group. He immediately put away his phone, ignoring it.

He looked up at the arena.

The people from Nuclear Fission Palm hadn't come on stage yet.

The second match should be Qiu Yu Yan, but this dead-fish-eyed girl stood still, her face pale.

The announcement broadcast had urged her twice, but she still didn't move.

Her strength was about the same as Fang Cheng's. Fang Cheng had been instantly killed, wasn't she looking for death by going up?

"I forfeit!" After hesitating for a while, she suddenly raised her hand and said loudly.

Pa!

Ying Chanru, who was behind her, slapped her face with a livid expression.

The great force knocked Qiu Yu Yan to the ground, covering her face and daring not to speak.

"Waste!!" Ying Chanru said angrily.

She looked up at Li Chongnan on the stage.

"I take back what I said before."

She walked towards the arena step by step, ascending the anti-gravity stairs onto the cylinder.

"Just because you used some inexplicable Qi Jin technique, you really think you're invincible!? How dare you humiliate my sect's name! I will kill you with my own hands! I will..."

She raised her hand and pointed at Li Chongnan.

"Crush every inch of your bones! And you will die, wailing in pain for three days and three nights!!"

"You will wake up from your dream soon," Li Chongnan said indifferently.

The two stood on the arena, more than ten meters apart, facing each other.

The robot quickly cleaned up Fang Cheng's body, and a new round of competition was about to begin.

A huge projection of light landed on the ground between the two, showing a huge number: 5.

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

The countdown cleared.

The robot referee waved the flag sharply.

"Kill!!!" Ying Chanru opened her arms, her whole body's muscles swelled, blood vessels bulged, and gusts of invisible hot air surged around her.

In the blink of an eye, she grew a size larger, her height rising to two meters.

Chila.

Her clothes were torn, revealing a simple black bra and shorts inside.

"I've seen through what you rely on!!"

Ying Chanru took off her sunglasses and threw them aside.

She raised one hand and flattened the other, as if holding her elbow.

"Nuclear Fission," she kept spouting hot air from all her pores.

Peng!!

In an instant, with a loud bang, it seemed like a thunderbolt exploded beneath her feet.

The huge reaction force drove her to a speed of 100 meters per second in an instant, from zero to full speed, it only took a tenth of a second.

The terrifying explosive force only allowed people to see a flash of black shadow in the arena.

In a super-fast state.

Ying Chanru split her hand towards Li Chongnan's neck, and the other hand ran through her abdomen from below.

She had already observed and understood that the other party relied on some mysterious kung fu to send the strength into the opponent's body, causing it to explode from the inside, causing internal injuries.

So, in the previous battles, the damage the opponent received was from the inside out.

To deal with such a trick, it's actually very simple.

As long as the body is tempered and taut like steel, the so-called internal injury will not be able to help her.

And just right, she is such a type.

In the process of tempering her palm technique, she had already tempered her inner body to be extremely tough. With her current physical strength, even if she slashed it with a sharp blade, it would only leave shallow marks.

So... she almost perfectly restrains Li Chongnan.

This battle, she is bound to win!!!

Peng!!!!

Instantly, Li Chongnan raised his hand to block with his arm.

At the same time, another hand blocked the other blow from below.

The huge counter-shock force caused the two to retreat a step, but without a gap, the two stepped forward again.

Side hook punch.

Right hand against right hand, the two almost simultaneously hit the opponent's left face.

Peng!

The huge power exploded, and there was another muffled sound.

Li Chongnan took a few steps back from the side, and his cheeks swelled visibly.

She spat out a mouthful of bloody spit.

This was the first time she had encountered an opponent she couldn't internally kill in seconds.

Her wisdom sword erupted from the inside, but it was difficult to operate and slow. Before she could control the cutting, the other party attacked continuously, interrupting her movements.

Raising her head, she looked at Ying Chanru five meters away.

At this time, Ying Chanru had blood stains on her mouth and nose, but her expression remained unchanged, her eyes widened, and her pupils were full of madness.

"Come on, aren't you going to kill me!!"

"Where's your ultimate move that kills from the inside out!? Come kill me! Kill me!!"

She patted her chest and approached step by step.
