"Now!" A glint flashed in Lu Zhaoming's eyes. He deliberately exposed a flaw to attract Shi Hu's attention.

Shi Hu fell for the trap as expected. He grinned maliciously and pulled the trigger again.

Just as the energy beam was about to hit Lu Zhaoming, Lu Zhaoming suddenly activated "Eye of Judgment".

In his vision, Shi Hu's energy weapon became incredibly clear.

He can see the trajectory of energy flow and every tiny component.

He locked onto the core of the energy weapon—an energy source that flickered with a faint light.

"Explode!" Lu Zhaoming roared, concentrating all his superpowers into his right fist and slamming it fiercely into the core of the energy weapon.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Shi Hu's energy weapon exploded instantly.

The powerful shockwave forced Shi Hu to retreat repeatedly.

He stared in disbelief at the wreckage in his hands, his face filled with anger and resentment.

"You...you actually destroyed my weapon!" Shi Hu roared, swinging his fist as he lunged at Lu Zhaoming.

Lu Zhaoming sneered and went to meet them without fear.

However, just as he was about to defeat Shi Hu, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lu Zhaoming, do you think we'll let you enter the ruins so easily?"

Lu Zhaoming's expression changed, and he turned around abruptly.

He saw a voluptuous woman standing not far away, looking at him with a cold smile.

She was wearing a tight black leather outfit, exuding a dangerous aura.

Green Snake!

Lu Zhaoming recognized the woman.

Another ace under the white-robed commander, skilled in intrigue and ruthless.

Beside the Green Snake stood a dozen or so white-robed warriors, each wielding various weapons, their eyes fixed menacingly on Lu Zhaoming.

"It seems this is their real trump card," Lu Zhaoming thought to himself, inwardly cursing.

"What should we do? Continue fighting, or retreat?" Lu Zhaoming's mind raced.

He quickly assessed the current situation.

Although Shi Hu was defeated by him, he still possessed considerable fighting ability.

Green Snake and her subordinates are not to be underestimated.

If the fighting continues, they are very likely to be wiped out.

"No, we can't fight head-on." Lu Zhaoming gritted his teeth and made the decision.

"Blacksmith, detonate the bomb! Qinglian, cover the retreat!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, while simultaneously pushing the power of "Judgment Storm II" to its limit, forming a powerful barrier that blocked the enemy's attack.

The blacksmith was prepared; he detonated the bombs he had planted nearby.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions rang out, the ground shook violently, and flames shot into the sky.

The white-robed warriors were thrown into disarray by the explosion, their formation thrown into chaos.

Qinglian also acted quickly, releasing a large number of illusions to confuse the enemy and cover the team's retreat.

Lu Zhaoming stayed behind alone to cover the rear.

He took a deep breath and concentrated all his supernatural power into his fists.

"Come on, let me see your strength!" Lu Zhaoming roared and charged towards the enemy.

He swung his fists, creating gusts of wind that sent the white-robed warriors flying one by one.

His figure appeared incredibly majestic amidst the flames of the explosion.

He stood like a war god on the wasteland, protecting his teammates.

Green Snake watched Lu Zhaoming's lone figure covering the rear.

"You're ruthless!" She gritted her teeth, ordered her men to stop the pursuit, and led Shi Hu back to the entrance of the ruins.

After his teammates had safely evacuated, Lu Zhaoming also quickly left the battlefield and retreated towards a safe area.

He glanced back at the entrance to the ruins, destroyed by the explosion.

"Just wait, I will definitely come back!"

In the end, Lu Zhaoming unleashed the ultimate power of Judgment Storm II...

The unspoken words vanished into the wasteland with a gust of wind.

He glanced deeply at the area shrouded in shadow, then turned and walked away without hesitation in the opposite direction, his back view resolute and determined.

With the ultimate power of Judgment Storm II, Lu Zhaoming blasted Shi Hu's elite squad into pieces.

The price to pay is that my head is buzzing and I feel like my system is about to overload and start smoking.

He shook his head; if he hadn't had a strong enough will, he probably would have knelt on the ground and "died" on the spot.

Before leaving, the woman named Green Snake spoke like a poisoned dagger, sending chills down one's spine: "The secrets deep within the ruins are not for you to meddle with."

"Oh ho? Playing the final warning game here?" Lu Zhaoming spat, thinking to himself that the thing he feared least was threats.

However, before he could utter his harsh words, a bright red warning box suddenly popped up on the system interface: "Unknown energy fluctuations detected. Proceed with caution."

Lu Zhaoming's eyelids twitched. This system rarely acted so seriously; it seemed there was indeed something strange about it.

He stroked his chin, a sense of adventure stirring within him.

Proceed cautiously? Not a chance! The word "cowardice" doesn't exist in Lu Zhaoming's dictionary!

"Let's go in and take a look," Lu Zhaoming said to the air, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

With a wave of his hand, he beckoned to the blacksmith and Qinglian, and strode toward the entrance of the ruins.

Qinglian glanced at him with some worry, wanting to say something, but then swallowed her words back.

She knew that once Lu Zhaoming made a decision, no one could stop him.

The blacksmith, however, was carefree. Carrying his sledgehammer, he shouted excitedly, "Hehe, another fight is about to begin! I, Old Iron, am itching for one!"

The group carefully stepped into the entrance of the ruins.

The entrance was dimly lit, and the air was filled with a damp, rotten smell, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes, activated his "Eye of Judgment," and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

He always felt that something was watching them from the shadows.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, his pupils contracting sharply.

"careful!"

Lu Zhaoming grabbed Qinglian beside him and jumped back at the same time.

Right where they had just been standing, several sharp metal spikes suddenly pierced the ground, whistling through the air, aimed straight for vital points!

"Holy crap! What is this thing? A spike trap game?" The blacksmith was startled and quickly raised his sledgehammer, looking around warily.

Lu Zhaoming didn't speak, he just stared intently at the ground.

The passageways within the ruins were indeed fraught with danger!

"Click...click..."

Just then, a faint sound suddenly rang out from the depths of the passage, sounding particularly jarring in the silent environment.

Lu Zhaoming's heart jumped into his throat.

He could sense that something even more dangerous was waiting for them.

"Ha, welcome to the Death Paradise." A sinister voice echoed through the passageway, sending chills down everyone's spine.
