Chapter 123: Explosive Kill, the Powerful Chen Yan!

Within the Deep Mountains.

Boom, boom, boom!

The gunfire and muzzle flashes wove into a dense net; machine guns fired, and shells spat out like tongues of fire from dragons.

The forest was shattered by the barrage.

Strange-looking Ancient Beasts darted through the woods, leaping up and down; some were annihilated by the gunfire, while others managed to pass through the gaps in the fire to charge into the midst of the firing Military Officers.

"Damn it, someone kill that thing!"

Lao Ji, holding a machine gun, let out a Low Roar; his muzzle was still aimed at the depths of the Dense Forest, but his peripheral vision caught a lizard-like Ancient Beast charging toward him.

Lao Ji's Mu Guang sharpened, and the machine gun in his hands instantly aimed at that lizard Ancient Beast.

Boom, boom, boom!

A continuous string of bullets was fired, yet it could not stop the lizard's trajectory.

"Holy Crap, someone help me!!!"

Lao Ji let out a violent roar.

Boom!

A speeding figure suddenly slammed in, colliding with the body of that Ancient Beast, and the massive lizard Ancient Beast was instantly sent flying.

Immediately following, a booming sound rang out.

The giant lizard's body was instantly blasted into two halves.

Lao Ji looked over with lingering fear, only to see a Youth walking out from within the giant lizard's Corpse; the other was bathed in blood, his Aura surging.

"A New Dragon Guard genius!" Lao Ji exclaimed in astonishment.

The next moment, he saw two more figures rushing over.

Lu Linqian and Zhan Hun.

The Woman named Lu Linqian looked at Lao Ji:

"Leave this to us, you all go over there."

"Alright!" Lao Ji nodded hurriedly.

Meanwhile, Lu Linqian and Zhan Hun arrived beside the blood-covered Li Qingyuan.

"Not bad, Li Qingyuan, to be this fierce on your first time on the battlefield," Zhan Hun praised.

"Compared to Chen Yan, it's far too lacking."

Li Qingyuan shook his head.

"Keep working hard, your future won't necessarily be worse than Chen Yan's," Zhan Hun said, offering encouragement.

Li Qingyuan shook his head, just about to speak.

"Careful, there's a large group of Ancient Beasts ahead!"

Behind them, Lao Ji, who was about to retreat, suddenly shouted; Lao Ji and a group of Military Officers instantly raised their machine guns and opened fire.

Screech!

A piercing bird cry rang out.

Zhan Hun, Li Qingyuan, and the others looked over in a hurry.

They saw, above their heads, over a dozen giant flaming birds the size of two-story buildings flying in.

A scorching sensation arrived; these dozen-plus birds had glowing fire all over their bodies, their flame Color burning intensely, just like a surging inferno.

Their might was overbearing.

"Prepare to engage, they are Tier 3 Fire Rain Birds!" Zhan Hun let out a Low Roar, a look of gravity appearing in his eyes as he looked at Li Qingyuan:

"You retreat, this is not a battle you can participate in!"

Li Qingyuan nodded hurriedly.

And it was at this moment.

Boom!!!!

A long string of booming sounds rang out from behind the group.

Zhan Hun and the others' Mu Guang constricted, and they looked over in a hurry, only to see a phantom image suddenly blasting in from the sky behind them.

Like a fighter jet flying past, waves of air shaped like sharp angles erupted.

Instantly, that figure collided with the Fire Rain Bird at the very front.

Boom—!

Waves of fire exploded from the top of the Fire Rain Bird's Crown, and blood splattered out like sparks.

That person blasted the Fire Rain Bird's Brain apart with one Fist, his whole body burning with flames, yet streams of golden air waves exploded from within his body, repelling the fire.

Immediately after, that person stepped on the falling Fire Rain Bird, his body stretching like a Longbow, agile as a dragon, and blasted toward another Fire Rain Bird.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Booming sounds like small mountains colliding rang out.

Under the incredulous Gaze of Li Qingyuan and the others, one after another, the still-burning Fire Rain Bird corpses fell down.

"Who is that? This is too fierce!"

Zhan Hun spoke, but could only see that figure's body flowing with golden Qi, unable to see his Appearance clearly.

It wasn't until the very end that the last Fire Rain Bird screamed and fell to the ground.

That golden figure landed on the ground.

Chen Yan spat out golden mist and looked at his own hands and body, which seemed to be wrapped in a layer of golden clothing.

His heart beat violently, like an tireless generator.

The flow of blood throughout his body and his muscles had perhaps exploded to their absolute peak.

This is the Heavenly Patrol!

By constantly circulating the Heavenly Patrol, Chen Yan can feel a powerful current of Qi circulating throughout his body.

It continuously stimulates the Life Force and the strength of his flesh and blood within his body.

Even at just the Entry Level of the Heavenly Patrol, it allows Chen Yan to unleash 1.5 times the combat power he had before.

Within the Po Saint Realm, Golden Light surges!

【Breaking Saint Tree Level Four: 9/10

Strength: 29/100

Blood: 19/100

Technique: 75/100

Body: 15/100

Array: 70/100】

…………

Chen Yan had originally thought that the first fruit to ripen in the Po Saint Realm would be the Zhen Character Fruit.

But at the very moment he comprehended the Heavenly Patrol and successfully reached the Entry Level.

The progress of the Technique Character Fruit had instead surpassed it.

Moreover, as Chen Yan continuously utilized the Heavenly Patrol while fighting, the growth speed of the Technique Character Fruit was extremely fast!

As expected, combat is the best way to become stronger.

The only drawback.

Is that... it is a bit tiring.

The golden Wind Element dissipated, and Chen Yan exhaled a long breath of stale air.

"Chen Yan?" A surprised voice rang out from behind him.

Chen Yan turned his head to look; it was Li Qingyuan, Zhan Hun, and Lu Linqian, all three of them looking at him in astonishment.

As for Lao Ji and the other Military Officers behind them, they were all stunned at this moment.

Lao Ji was even more dumbfounded; wasn't this the Newcomer who came with them this morning to join the New Dragon Guard?

Since when did the Newcomer become so terrifying?

Chen Yan greeted Li Qingyuan with a smile, his Pupil light looking toward the high sky, where a tall figure was walking on the wind.

Shen Youning.

"Chen Yan, let's go." Shen Youning spoke up.

"Alright." Chen Yan nodded, then looked at Li Qingyuan:

"I'm leaving first."

"Mm... mm." Li Qingyuan nodded blankly.

Just as Chen Yan was about to leave, he saw the previously stunned Lao Ji hurriedly speak up:

"Go in the direction of fifteen o'clock, fifteen kilometers away, they need reinforcements there!"

Chen Yan glanced at Lao Ji.

The latter's body stiffened instantly, and then he actually performed a Military Salute toward Chen Yan.

The battlefield is just that simple; Lao Ji could mock Xu Di, but he would not dare do anything to Shen Youning.

Now that Chen Yan had displayed such powerful combat strength, he would naturally be even more respectful.

The next instant.

Chen Yan's figure became illusory and disappeared from where he stood.

Behind him, Zhan Hun and Lu Qingqian looked at each other in dismay.

"Brother Zhan Hun, you said I could surpass Chen Yan; I don't believe it at all."

Li Qingyuan spoke with admiration:

"Chen Yan is too strong."

Zhan Hun stood stunned and nodded.

Yet inside, his heart was churning like a raging river.

Is this Chen Yan's true strength?

Lu Linqian, however, looked in the direction Shen Youning had left and muttered:

"Hasn't Shen Youning always operated alone?"

…………

"Horizontal Refinement Combined Realm and Qi-Blood Golden Body Realm allow for flight, but the stability of the flight state still depends on the individual."

Shen Youning descended from the high sky and sped through the Shanlin with Chen Yan.

Chen Yan observed the currents flowing around her body from time to time, feeling amazed in his heart.

Shen Youning was clearly already in the Unity Realm.

She was no slower than him when it came to killing Tier 3 Ancient Beast.

Very strong!

"Have the Ancient Beast here always been in such a state of riot?" Chen Yan asked.

He had not expected there to be so many Ancient Beast on the outskirts of Yunmeng City.

"No, if it were always like this, our Military Guard people would have been wiped out long ago." Shen Youning leaped with one leg onto a tree branch a hundred meters away.

She remained in a relatively stationary state with Chen Yan.

"It is because of the Shen Shi; every time there is an Ancient Beast Riot, it is highly likely due to the appearance of a Shen Shi." Shen Youning spoke:

"Therefore, this time the Ancient Beast Riot is highly likely to see the appearance of an Ancient Divine Beast."

Chen Yan's Mu Guang narrowed slightly.

Indeed, the last time he encountered an Ancient Beast Riot, it was because a Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast was influencing it.

"That Ancient Divine Beast, how exactly did it appear?"

Chen Yan was curious; there is an absolute distinction between an Ancient Divine Beast and an Ancient Beast.

They are more powerful, possess more Malice, and their intelligence is even on par with humans.

"An Ancient Divine Beast is a product chosen by Ancient Divine Malice, though it's not exactly chosen..."

Shen Youning pondered for a moment and said:

"An Ancient God is the deity of a continent, but there is Malice in the heart of this god, so the Ancient God needs to constantly purge their own Malice.

But Malice does not disappear for no reason; if it condenses in a certain place, it will crystallize.

Once a living creature consumes this Malice Crystal, they are highly likely to become an Ancient Divine Beast."

Chen Yan was silent.

If put this way, an Ancient God cannot actually be called a deity.

Instead, it is an unknown and powerful existence that coexists with humanity.

But looking at it from another perspective.

Humans naturally worship powerful existences, regarding them as deities.

Perhaps, in the eyes of an Ancient God, they do not care whether they are the deity of humanity.

Just as humans do not care about being regarded as deities by a group of ants.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, yet his peripheral vision swept toward a spot not far away.

On the trunk of that Ancient Tree, a fly was resting quietly.

But everything this fly saw was being transmitted to a very distant place.

…………

"Bing Yi's phone isn't being answered."

In the car, Dark Soul, wearing a Ghost Mask, frowned and spoke.

"Why is Bing Yi needed? He is indeed powerful, but to kill this Chen Yan, it is clearly not enough."

A cold voice rang out.

In the back seat of the car, a Woman wearing White Clothes and a Snake-Pattern Mask sat upright, her gaze passing through the mask to look at the player installed in the front of the car.

Chen Yan's figure flashed across the screen.

"This Chen Yan might have already reached the Unity Realm," the Woman said coldly:

"Not to mention Bing Yi, even I don't feel I can take him down."

Dark Soul was silent; he was also shocked in his heart.

Today he was still muttering about how this Chen Yan dared to come out to execute a mission.

Unexpectedly, he had just discovered that this Chen Yan might have the strength of the Unity Realm.

And he was a Horizontal Refinement Martial Artist.

With thick Skin and tough Flesh, he is not easy to kill.

This Chen Yan is very confident!

He had originally wanted Bing Yi to make a move, at least to test the waters, but now it seems that Bing Yi might not necessarily be able to handle Chen Yan.

After all, Bing Yi's Cultivation Technique is the Spear; once Bing Yi cannot handle Chen Yan, it will be difficult.

And the one behind him is Ju Ming, Platinum Grade Twelve of the Tianbei Fist Tournament.

Her assassination ability is definitely above Bing Yi's.

The most critical point is that Dark Soul actually doesn't trust Bing Yi very much.

"The price needs to be increased, Dark Soul."

In the back seat, Ju Ming spoke indifferently.

"It will be increased; our Golden Main is very willing to spend money," Dark Soul said with a faint Laughter.

"That's good," Ju Ming said indifferently, then appeared outside the car.

"Be careful!" Dark Soul said.

"Heh," Ju Ming said with a faint Laughter:

"My principle of assassination is to be careful and more careful. I only fire one Spear; if the Spear doesn't hit, I run."
