Three minutes later.

The confidant was the first to stand up, his eyes bloodshot, his face as pale as a corpse, and his body filled with a strange power.

"Go, kill them!" Ashra said coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

The group ran wildly toward where Li Tianyi was.

They were faster than assassins, leaving long trails of shadow behind them.

"Kill him!" the confidant roared, his voice like that of a wild beast.

Whoosh! Roar!

Countless forces converged, rapidly forming a cage that trapped Li Tianyi in the center.

"You ants, let me show you what real power is!" The confidant said with a face full of disdain.

"Stop talking nonsense, attack!" Ashra roared.

With a group of people attacking at the same time, the space for maneuver is rapidly shrinking.

Li Tianyi's expression was solemn as he focused all the power he could muster on Po Jun, causing a series of dragon roars.

As soon as the scorching heat burst forth, the extreme cold followed.

boom!

The two energies collided, forming a Tai Chi circle. With each rotation, the opponent's strength was weakened by one point.

"You can't even take this down?" The confidant slapped him in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, the weakened area instantly replenished.

At the same time, his subordinates followed suit and ejaculated their own semen.

The array hummed loudly, and the color of the Tai Chi circle rapidly dimmed.

"Drink! Ha!"

Li Tianyi's nameless rage surged to the top of his head, causing him to spit out three drops of blood. The Tai Chi circle shimmered with black and white light, its aura becoming even more terrifying.

Click, pfft!

The enemy on the left slant slowly knelt down, his body cracking and bleeding profusely.

"Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!" The wounded man, clinging to his last breath, poured all his primal energy into the great formation. "It's up to you now!"

The injured man's body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The array flickered, a chilling wind blew, and ghostly wails could be heard from time to time.

Li Tianyi's expression was solemn, his mind racing as he tried to think of a way to defeat the enemy.

The enemy doesn't give you time to think; they go all in.

Boom! Thud!

"Pfft!" Li Tianyi steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with golden light. "Cold Lightning!"

Two beams of yellow light shot from his eyes, piercing the foreheads of two enemies.

They did not die immediately; they collapsed and died only after pouring all their primal force into the great formation.

The formation became even more bizarre.

Li Tianyi was suppressed and could only exert less than 80% of his strength.

Let alone fighting back, even dodging was a stretch.

Ashra threw a punch, "Give it your all, he's almost done for!"

The men didn't say anything, they just kept throwing punches.

The formation was filled with dense fist energy; no matter which direction you dodged, you would pay a heavy price.

Li Tianyi gave a bitter smile, steeling his resolve. "You want to fight to the death? I've never been afraid of anyone!"

With a roar, the depleted aura surged, and the suppressive force of the great formation gradually decreased.

"We absolutely cannot let him break through the great formation!" A resolute glint flashed in the confidant's eyes as he channeled all the power he could muster into his palms and charged straight ahead.

He has absolutely no defenses, yet he wants to trade his life for yours.

Li Tianyi quickly retreated.

"Now!" Ashra shouted.

Three of his men rushed out at the same time, trying to grab Li Tianyi.

The enemy is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, the outermost enemy screamed as a short sword emerged from between his eyebrows.

Ashra turned his head, his anger rising to his head, "Damn it, why did they have to come now of all times!"

Bai Rubing and Ji Ling are advancing.

In the other two directions, Zhu Lan and his team were also advancing.

The enemy had to allocate some of their forces to deal with the situation.

As a result, there were far fewer people attacking Li Tianyi, and he was finally no longer being suppressed by them.

"Ah, it's all fate!" Ashra aged considerably in an instant, and his strength began to wane. "I'll drag him down with me no matter what!"

"clear!"

His men immediately abandoned their defenses and charged forward with full force.

The assassin squad dared not risk their lives against them and were in a passive position.

Ashra finally reached Li Tianyi's side, unleashing a powerful punch while gritting his teeth, "Die!"

Li Tianyi ducked to avoid the attack, then unleashed a horizontal slash.

Sizzle!

A long gash stretched down to his abdomen, his muscles turned outwards, and his internal organs spilled out.

Ashra didn't care at all, focusing all his power into his right fist.

As the opponent dodged, he grabbed the intestines with his left hand and tried to loop them around Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi kept struggling.

"Ha, ha!" Ashra's life force was rapidly draining away, but he had only one thought in his mind: kill the person in front of him!

The tighter the constriction became, the more Li Tianyi's eyes rolled back.

Just as he was about to suffocate, a cold glint landed on his intestines.

"Broken spine!"

Wan Jingling unleashed her full power, shattering Ashira's spine. A look of resentment flashed in Ashira's eyes as she crashed heavily to the ground, convulsing.

With him dead, the remaining men were no match for the assassin squad and were wiped out in less than ten seconds.

Li Tianyi's face was deathly pale, and his legs trembled slightly. "The enemy has suffered heavy losses and will surely launch a frenzied retaliation. We must leave as soon as possible!"

"Alright!" Zhu Lan helped him up and ordered, "Assassin squad, go back!"

"yes!"

The group moved with incredible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye...

The enemy's headquarters.

Qiao Bass slumped helplessly in his chair, his mind buzzing.

Bakham gave him a look as if he were an idiot, thinking to himself, "You pig-brain! I advised you time and again not to rashly send out the elite regiment, but you wouldn't listen. Now the entire army has been wiped out. Let's see how you explain this to the Empire."

Gulmai suddenly walked up to him and asked, "Strategist, what should we do now?"

"Now you remember me?" Bakham shoved him away and roared, "What are we going to do? If I knew what to do, would I be wasting my time with you guys?"

The already depressed mood of everyone became even more depressed.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Min said, "Things have come to this point, and there's no point in saying these angry words. Let's think about how to protect our current forces!"

"Anyway, I don't know what to do!" Bakham said, arms crossed, his face full of anger.

Ling Min's lips twitched, and he cursed inwardly, "Idiot, does he really think he's something? If it weren't for our think tank's advice, would you even be in the position of Grand Strategist?"

He sighed, "Don't they love surprise attacks? We can give them a taste of their own medicine! We'll do it this way..."

“It’s feasible!” Gulma said seriously.

“The General says it’s feasible, so I have no objection!” Bakham said.

Everyone looked at Qiao Bas.

He slowly raised his head, thought carefully, and said, "Let's do it this way!" He stood up, pointed at Ling Min, and said, "You are fully responsible for this matter. Anyone who dares to interfere will be executed!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" This was exactly what Ling Min had been waiting for. A smug glint flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Bakham and left without looking back.

Bakham was furious, glaring at his retreating figure, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked...

Two days later.

Dafeng Mountain, Taoyuan Village, research base.

Jia Qingxue stared intently at the instrument data, her fists clenched tightly. "It has to succeed! It has to succeed!"

Press the start button.

A dazzling light flashed, illuminating the entire room.

As the light grew brighter, it suddenly dimmed.

In an instant, all the light converged into a single point the size of a mung bean.

"It's done! It's a success!" Jia Qingxue was as excited as a child, jumping and skipping around.

laugh!

The tiny dot pierced through space, rushing forward rapidly.

Soon, a miniature, short-distance wormhole was successfully constructed.

Suppressing her excitement, Jia Qingxue placed a thread in the passage. It passed smoothly through the spatial wormhole and appeared in another location.

"Ha, ha!" Jia Qingxue laughed, but her eyes welled up with tears that rolled down her cheeks like pearls. "After so many years, the people of China have finally developed space wormhole technology. We no longer have to suffer from the wrath of the great powers and alien scum. Good, very good!"

The news quickly spread throughout the laboratory.

Li Tianyi and Luo Shan also received the news and rushed over immediately.

"Qingxue, on behalf of all the people of China, I thank you!" Li Tianyi hugged her tightly, deeply moved.

"The experiment was successful, but to open up a larger spatial wormhole, we need more energy stones and warped energy stones!" Jia Qingxue pushed Li Tianyi away and looked at him very seriously. "We need to obtain enough resources to open up a two-kilometer wormhole within three days!"

"Okay!" Li Tianyi turned and left.

Luo Shan paused for a moment, then immediately followed, "Brother, where do we get twisted energy stones?"

Death Valley!

"Hiss! You son of a bitch, you're not thinking of raiding their lair again, are you?"

Li Tianyi smiled but remained silent.

Luo Shan stopped him, his face serious. "You just destroyed the enemy's elite squad. They wish they could skin you alive and tear your tendons out of your body. And here you are, delivering yourself to their doorstep. Don't you want to die?"

"Big Brother!" Li Tianyi pulled him to a corner and lowered his voice, "Space wormhole technology can turn the tide for China. No matter how dangerous it is ahead, I will go without hesitation!"

“I understand the logic!” Luo Shan frowned. “Brother, this time is different. The technology is there. Even if we can’t get our hands on the Twisted Energy Stone, the lab can synthesize it using other materials, understand?”

“Of course I understand!” Li Tianyi sighed and looked up at the sky. “Not long ago, I had a strange dream. A group of tall creatures with blood-red auras were chasing after humans. Once caught, they were either eaten alive or crushed into balls of flesh and thrown to their pets.”

"Hey, you know, nine times out of ten my dreams come true!"

Luo Shan patted him heavily on the shoulder, "Got it!" He turned around, "I'll go with you!"

“You must stay and oversee this!” Pointing to Taoyuan Village, “This is of utmost importance; it cannot be lost. Immediately recall all members of the search and rescue teams, including your newly trained members. A 24-hour shift system is essential, and the number of sentries must be increased fivefold.”

"Are you worried that the enemy will launch a sneak attack?" Luo Shan gasped.

Li Tianyi shook his head, then nodded, "The enemy is indeed formidable, but it is ourselves who are truly unpredictable!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Luo Shan's eyes, his face contorted with rage. "That son of a bitch dares to become a black sheep, I'll wipe out his entire clan!"

"I'm just giving you a heads-up; I haven't noticed anything amiss with anyone!" After a pause, he whispered in her ear, "Keep an eye on those foreigners. As the old saying goes, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!'"

"Understood. Be careful on the road, don't overexert yourself."

"I will!"

Luo Shan extended his right fist, "We'll live and die together!"

"To live and die together!"

Li Tianyi drove away on his space surfboard...

Luo Shan watched him go until he could no longer see his back, without looking away.

After a long silence, he withdrew his gaze and gave a bitter smile. "My abilities are still insufficient; I can't be of much help to you, brother. Once this busy period is over, I'll go for further studies. I won't leave seclusion until I reach your level!"
