Chapter 596: Exposure and Battle

Realizing he had been exposed, Li Ang instantly summoned a pitch-black rift before him.

'Tsk, how could this guy know our identities? Did that 【Mirror Person】 tell him?'

'If that's the case, then Zakuuli—'

Thinking of this, Li Ang roughly guessed who had issued the recent commission.

Unfortunately, only he among the group could fully conceal his traces under the 【Great Luo洞观】 enhancement; Wu Lao and the others were still too weak in this regard.

Fortunately, he had already obtained the information he wanted; all he needed now was to extract the whereabouts of the bandits from the succubus.

But before that, he still needed to find a way to escape.

Just as the 【Huang Quan Bilianban】 was about to fully consume Li Ang, two figures—one tall, one short—suddenly appeared.

Seeing the black rift about to vanish, Lavilin immediately shouted sharply: "Porugas! Stop him!"

'Tsk, can't you do it yourself?'

Despite his verbal complaint, Porugas acted at once to block him.

After all, he and Lavilin were now on the same rope—if the succubus truly ran into trouble, he wouldn't escape unscathed.

Crack—

With a crisp snapping sound, the space rift, now reduced to a tiny black dot, was slowly pried open by two thick arms.

Yet seeing this scene, Porugas couldn't help but frown.

Though he truly wasn't skilled in spatial abilities, a mere fifth-tier cultivator shouldn't have made him struggle this much.

'Could this be the depth of the Giant Corporation's resources?'

Recalling the opponent's identity, the Gluttonous Demon couldn't help but murmur inwardly.

Meanwhile, Li Ang had never before encountered a being capable of affecting the 【Huang Quan Bilianban】, which also had to do with his never having truly fought a sixth-tier powerhouse before.

Manfred didn't count—he'd only faced a mere avatar back then.

'Looks like I'll have to strike first and look for an opening to escape.'

If there were only one sixth-tier, Li Ang felt he might still have a chance to fight above his level.

But now there were two sixth-tier opponents; with his strength, fighting both at once was simply beyond his capacity.

As the black rift widened further, Porugas's ugly face twisted into a cruel grin.

Yet before he could speak, a gray-white spike radiating ominous energy suddenly pierced out from the gap.

Kōsatsu Kotsu!

Though this dangerous ability, originating from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, had numerous drawbacks, Li Ang considered it the most suitable for the moment.

After all, to prevent the 【Huang Quan Bilianban】 from closing, the Gluttonous Demon before the rift had no choice but to endure it.

As expected, faced with the sudden attack, Porugas did not dodge—he let the gray-white bone spike pierce his body.

The next instant, Kōsatsu Kotsu shattered into countless fragments and began eroding the target's body.

Only then did Porugas sense something was wrong.

This attack… is strange! His wound's flesh was visibly crumbling!

But how could this be?! Ordinary fifth-tier cultivators couldn't even scratch his skin, let alone injure him!

Unfortunately, the Gluttonous Demon didn't know that the 【Abyssal Composite Demon】's true-damage bonus allowed Li Ang to trigger all ability secondary effects at 100%.

Black flames and azure frost churned at Porugas's wound, the gray-white aura gradually spreading across his entire body.

Even as the situation grew dire, Porugas did not retreat—he surged his arms with all his strength.

With a low roar, the 【Huang Quan Bilianban】 was completely torn open.

But what followed was a blinding golden light that filled the entire视野 of Porugas and Lavilin.

A torrent of golden light surged skyward, causing gamblers across the planet to lift their heads.

When Sophia saw that familiar golden light, her expression changed instantly: "Li Ang's in trouble!"

"?"

Since they had never seen the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion before, Wu Lao and Pan Mingrui didn't immediately connect the terrifying golden light in the distance to Li Ang.

But upon hearing Sophia's words, both of them instantly changed expression.

Before they could react, a voice laced with coldness reached everyone's ears.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

As the words fell, the endless golden light slashed down, as if splitting heaven and earth in two.

Facing two sixth-tier opponents at once, Li Ang held nothing back, pouring energy furiously into the crimson-and-blue Dao Jade in his hands.

With the infinite mana provided by the 【Third Law】, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion displayed unprecedented power.

Sssss—!

At this moment, Porugas and Lavilin watched the golden light descending from above, their expressions turning grave—this level of fifth-tier power was enough to command their serious attention.

Of course, what mattered even more was—

That guy up there wanted to completely destroy the Grand Casino!

This was an outcome the two demons could not accept; if such a thing happened, the Guild and the Corporation would surely hold them accountable.

Seeing the Grand Casino's defenses crumble instantly under the golden light, Porugas drew a deep breath, then his body swelled several times in size.

The next instant, the massive mouth on his abdomen unleashed an absurdly powerful suction.

Under this suction, the trajectory of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion gradually shifted, finally hurtling toward the Gluttonous Demon.

As the giant mouth opened and closed, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was steadily swallowed.

At this moment, Porugas felt a growing sense of fullness within him—he was startled, then delighted.

The quality of this attack exceeded his expectations; he hadn't tasted something of this caliber in a long time. Too bad a fifth-tier cultivator was barely enough to fill his teeth.

Thinking of this, Porugas couldn't help sighing—he had no idea how long it had been since he'd last felt truly full.

But no matter how you put it, having something to eat is still better than having nothing.

Just as Borujias was thinking this, he suddenly discovered that the power of Jin Guang had not weakened in the slightest — if anything, it had even risen a few notches.

Such a thing could happen?!

Realizing this, he could not help but begin to grow excited.

Worthy of a megacorp employee — as expected, he's got a few tricks up his sleeve!

However, upon seeing the scene before her, Lavielle, who stood to one side, slightly furrowed her brow.

A stalemate was not in their favor — currently the most critical thing was to deal with that fellow in the sky as quickly as possible, not to let the other party escalate the situation.

After a brief moment of thought, Lavielle prepared to act together with them.

Since the other party already knew she had a connection with that band of bandits, there was no need to keep hiding it for the time being.

But before she could make any move, a terrifying howl drew her attention.

An incomparably violent wind pressure ravaged the earth, tearing deep fissures across the surface, while dust and rubble tumbled through the gale.

That force descended like divine punishment — a colossal mechanical palm, comparable in size to a city, reached out from the cloud layer, bearing a might capable of overturning heaven and earth as it smashed down toward the ground with a thunderous crash.

At the same time, two giant dragons beat their wings and dove, rushing toward Lavielle's position from the left and the right.

Blazing dragon breath gathered in midair into a destructive torrent, tearing through the air as it streaked toward the ground, as if to incinerate every last trace of life.

It's Sophia and the others.

After realizing something had happened on Li Ang's side, they naturally could not remain indifferent.

At this moment, facing the attack coming from afar, Lavielle's expression did not waver in the slightest.

Although she was somewhat wary of these people's identities, that was all there was to it.

If one were to speak of true strength, these ants of the Fifth Energy Level were not even fit to lace her shoes.

As Lavielle's mind stirred slightly, a pink aura exuding a sickly-sweet scent suddenly spread outward in all directions.

However, the scene she had anticipated did not appear — the sky-obscuring mechanical palm and that black dragon still barreled straight toward her position.

Seeing this, a flash of bewilderment crossed Lavielle's eyes.

"How could this be?!"
