Jiang Yuan didn't want to fight those lunatics, so he charged straight at the young man.
"Fight me? Are you planning to join us for a meal?" The young man noticed Jiang Yuan rushing towards him.
Jiang Yuan said nothing and just charged forward. His own strength had reached eleven, which was no weaker than that of a young man. However, his own drawbacks were also great. He could not sustain it for long, and his strength was not as pure as that of a genuine spiritual awakening.
"control!"
The young man glanced at Jiang Yuan, who bit his tongue, trying to use the pain to prevent himself from falling for the man's trick, but it was ineffective.
"Combat mode activated!"
Jiang Yuan's body trembled. The beef balls he had swallowed earlier were digested at this moment, but what he received in return was a more direct combat perception.
His eyes had never been so sharp; he captured every single movement of the other person perfectly.
Not only that, his hearing also became exceptionally strong, allowing him to monitor the other person's breathing and heartbeat.
Once the combat state was activated, his senses became increasingly powerful, and the young man's control crumbled on its own.
"Impossible! I, Sun Gaoyuan, am a third-tier Soul Energy type who has learned cultivation techniques. How could you, a useless Strength type, possibly withstand my control?" The young man exclaimed in surprise.
But Jiang Yuan didn't waste words with him. At this moment, the power in his fist had exceeded twenty units of strength. When the punch landed on Sun Gaoyuan's face, it was like being hit by a bullet. With a crack, his jaw was dislocated.
However, Jiang Yuan then realized that a force was emanating from Sun Gaoyuan, and his fist was forcefully blocked.
"My second-tier protective talisman!" Sun Gaoyuan gritted his teeth, his eyes darkening, and his soul energy began to surge, reaching fifteen units in the blink of an eye.
"Soul Piercing Thrust!"
Sun Gaoyuan seemed to be emitting energy fluctuations, and Jiang Yuan immediately became alert. Sure enough, an invisible attack came flying through the air. Jiang Yuan's eyes darkened and his head throbbed with pain.
"Go! Kill him!" Sun Gaoyuan waved to the men behind him, and they pounced on him like madmen.
"You!" Sun Gaoyuan pointed at Wang Hetai, "Take me to the Holy Spirit Fortress. I need to see that core now, or you'll die too!"
"I'll take you there, just don't kill me!" Wang Hetai pleaded, bowing his head.
"Don't worry, if it's true, you won't have to die!" Sun Gaoyuan glanced coldly at Jiang Yuan, who was being held down by many people on the ground.
"Then come with me, sir!" Wang Hetai was as respectful as a dog.
Having witnessed so much death, all he wanted at that moment was to live.
"Get here as soon as it's resolved!"
Sun Gaoyuan said something and then left with Wang Hetai.
The scene on the ground was extremely chaotic. Jiang Yuan was awakened by the pain, but when he woke up, he was already being pressed down by six or seven madmen with only two or three points of strength.
Ning Yanlan had no time to help Xu Feng anymore; she took out the steel core from her pocket and activated it.
"Bang!"
A sound like a cannon exploding rang out from beside Jiang Yuan, and the madmen were immediately blasted away, while Jiang Yuan was also bombarded by the steel core.
Upon seeing this, Ning Yanlan immediately pulled Jiang Yuan up, and with her spiritual shield extended, she retreated repeatedly.
"Let's go, we're going to the Holy Spirit Fortress!" Jiang Yuan's clothes were torn into strips.
"And what about them?" Ning Yanlan asked, pointing at Xu Feng and Xu Lian.
"This is the end of the world, other people's lives and deaths are not important!" Jiang Yuan's eyes revealed calmness. If he could protect himself or gain enough benefit, Jiang Yuan would save people, but now that he could hardly protect himself, he could not care about the lives of others.
Ning Yanlan was still hesitating, but Jiang Yuan used his strength to pull her away.
Jiang Yuan gave Xu Lian wolfhound blood; whether they live or die now depends on their fate.
"Yanlan, please treat my injuries!" Jiang Yuan said, enduring the pain. He could bear the pain, but he couldn't ignore the bleeding wound.
Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person, and with injuries like that, he would die soon.
"Um!"
Ning Yanlan used the Light of Nature, but Jiang Yuan noticed her silence.
"Do you think I'm too heartless?" Jiang Yuan asked as he ran.
"No, I just feel a little sad!" Ning Yanlan said softly.
“Everyone has their own destiny. Dying now might not be such a bad thing, as it means we won’t have to face the suffering of the end times!” Jiang Yuan sighed.
"Jiang Yuan, look!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the distance, "There's light coming from the Holy Spirit Fortress!"
"That guy must also have his eye on the crystal core! Let's hurry!" Jiang Yuan took out two beef balls, each of them swallowed one, and then they ran off quickly.
"Haha, it really is the Holy Spirit Fortress! It seems my opportunity has finally arrived!" Sun Gaoyuan was extremely excited.
"Sir, you see, I didn't lie to you! Can you let me go now?" Wang Hetai said in a trembling voice.
“Of course!” A dangerous glint flashed in Sun Gaoyuan’s eyes as he tossed out a Holy Spirit Stone. “Consider this second-tier Holy Spirit Stone your reward!”
"Thank you, thank you!" Wang Hetai exclaimed excitedly as he went to pick it up.
Sun Gaoyuan's lips moved slightly, and a knife appeared in his hand at some point. As Wang Hetai bent down to pick it up, the knife pierced his lower back.
“You…” Wang Hetai turned to look at Sun Gaoyuan, his eyes filled with fear of death.
"Why didn't you just leave? Why did you have to pick up the Holy Spirit Stone? Don't you know that you might have the life to take it but not the life to use it?" Sun Gaoyuan slashed with his knife, completely cutting off Wang Hetai's chance of survival.
“But you promised…” Wang Hetai finally revealed his anger at the last moment. He grabbed Sun Gaoyuan’s neck tightly with both hands, “I will never let you go, even if it means my death!”
