The once quiet street became lively again because of Jiang Yuan's arrival.
The people of today are no longer those who only seek survival by killing monsters. They are ambitious and ruthless. In order to obtain better cultivation techniques, they will stop at nothing to eliminate their competitors. Peace is only reflected in the principle of equality. Once the power is out of balance, then killing becomes the main theme of the world.
"So many people are getting closer!"
Jiang Yuan had already sensed the situation nearby through his Heavenly Eye as soon as he came out. No less than ten powerful auras were heading in his direction, and according to his detection, these people were all at the level of the third to fifth rank.
It has been almost ten days since the apocalypse began. The strength of evolved beings has generally improved. Not to mention that third and fifth rank beings are everywhere, it is not an exaggeration to say that you can see them every few hundred meters.
"Everyone wants to get their hands on my techniques?" Jiang Yuan sneered, looking at the crowd rushing towards him. "Since that's the case, then let's give the Southern City warlord a big gift!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he accelerated to his maximum speed and ran towards the location of the South City warlord headquarters.
Windwalk is a seventh-tier skill, and very few people can use this level of skill nowadays. When combined with Jiang Yuan's unique divine power, the speed is doubled.
However, the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of resources. The low-level Holy Spirit Stones in his storage ring are being consumed rapidly, and with the amount needed to activate divine power, he definitely doesn't have enough Holy Spirit Stones on him.
"Such speed!"
Those chasing them quickly noticed this pattern. The slower ones started looking for a vehicle, while the faster ones continued to follow closely behind. It was easy to lose sight of their target while driving, since most of the city was now in ruins and many places were inaccessible by public transport. It was better to rely on manpower.
"We must strike first, or it will be difficult to get a share once everyone in the southern part of the city comes to claim it!"
Those who want to obtain the unique cultivation technique all have this thought in their hearts. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are currently less than a hundred people. In the end, these hundred or so people may grow to thousands, or even tens of thousands. This is a crazy competition, and only the strongest can possess the unique cultivation technique.
Jiang Yuan thought he was running very fast, but someone was still intercepting him ahead.
“Lucky one, the only technique you can keep is not something you can leave behind. Hand it over to us and you might still live!” A bald, burly man with tattoos on his head stood in the middle of the road.
“Yes, hand the stuff over to our boss! We’ll take the fall for you!” another lackey immediately chimed in, trying to show off his presence in front of his boss.
"Blood Shackles!"
Jiang Yuan didn't waste any words. He tried to use as little divine power as possible, and his physical body crackled and popped.
"Heavenly Eye!"
"Human, fifth-order strength type, strength: forty, talent: petrification."
"Human, third-tier strength type, strength: eleven."
"Human, second-tier psionic type, psionic power: seven."
There were only three people who intercepted them, and only the bald, burly man called the boss was a fifth-tier strength-type, and he was also one of the talented ones.
"These little guinea pigs have come to our door, so don't blame me for being impolite!" Jiang Yuan was relieved after assessing the strength of the group.
"Ancient God Punch!"
Without pausing, Jiang Yuan shot towards the group like a flying arrow.
A straight punch, unstoppable and relentless, is a strike that requires absolute conviction to unleash its full potential, and Jiang Yuan is perfectly demonstrating this power at this moment.
"Petrify!" The bald, burly man dared not let his guard down. This was a habit he had developed after the cataclysm. Never underestimate any battle, because even such a seemingly insignificant battle could cost you your life.
The bald, burly man's power surged beneath his body, and in an instant, his physical body became as hard as a rock.
"A weakling who has just acquired the technique, tremble and groan under my heavy punch!" the bald, burly man shouted excitedly, as if the other party was just an ant that he could kill at will.
"Yeah!"
Jiang Yuan had already rushed up to the bald, burly man, and then the two clashed head-on.
The crisp sound of bones cracking rang out, but Jiang Yuan was already used to it. He had experienced such impacts countless times when he broke through the stone door. The unique blood of ancient martial artists could continuously repair physical damage and strengthen the body. Although he could not ignore such attacks now, remaining calm was a basic skill for him.
The bald giant's petrification talent grants him powerful defense, though it is somewhat clumsy, it should not be underestimated.
"There are no weaklings who can reach the fifth rank in such a short time!" Jiang Yuan sneered at the bald, burly man. "Unfortunately, you've met your match!"
"A dragon of vital energy! Charge!"
Jiang Yuan's speed was far beyond what the petrified bald giant could match. Before the giant could even retract his first punch, Jiang Yuan had already thrown a second one.
The second punch landed squarely on the bald man's shiny head.
The shackles of blood were broken, and the blood in his body gathered into a long dragon of qi and blood. The ancient martial artist's attack method was violent and simple. The long dragon of qi and blood surged to his fist, and all the power exploded when it touched the bald man's head.
Bang! It was a dull, terrifying sound.
"Impossible!" The bald man's pupils dilated and could no longer focus; the powerful impact had severely damaged his entire head.
"Celestial Soul Child!"
Jiang Yuan threw out his Heavenly Soul Child, which had already recognized him as its master. At this moment, the Heavenly Soul Child formed a close connection with him, just like Xiao Xin controlled the substitute doll. The Heavenly Soul Child transformed into a domineering battle puppet.
"Take care of the rest!" Jiang Yuan ordered Tianhun Tong.
The metallic Heavenly Soul Child's body was covered with mysterious patterns, countless times more intricate than those of the previous Holy Spirit Beast, giving the two-meter-tall Heavenly Soul Child an air of mystery. Without a doubt, this was a ruthless battle puppet.
"Yes, sir!"
The Heavenly Soul Child leaped and landed in front of one of the third-tier strength-types, punching him through the body.
At that moment, the bald, burly man collapsed to the ground, on the verge of death.
"Celestial Soul Child, Divine Power: Sixty".
The information about the Heavenly Soul Child entered Jiang Yuan's mind. The Heavenly Soul Child's combat power was closely related to his realm, and he was already at the fourth level. However, the divine energy temporarily stored in his body was in the single digits. But as long as he was given enough Holy Spirit Stones, he could activate his divine energy to the maximum value.
"He who kills will be killed by others!" Jiang Yuan stomped out the bald man's 'flame of life', while Tianhun Tong had already killed the bald man's two henchmen.
Because of the massive number of pursuers behind them, Jiang Yuan ordered Tianhun Tong to collect the valuables from the three people and then leave, but at this moment, Tianyan gave a warning.
"Marks of the deceased have been found. Should they be added?"
Jiang Yuan realized that this must be the Death Hand he had activated after awakening his spirit, and exclaimed, "Acquire!"
"Should we choose a medium to exchange the deceased's mark?"
"Note: Grudges from life vanish in death. Death and the dead are equal. Once Death forcibly seizes the mark of the dead, the power that mark can exert will weaken over time until the mark of the dead completely disappears!"
Jiang Yuan didn't think much of what Tianyan said after hearing it, and simply asked, "What medium?"
"The curse of death, the blessing of death."
