"Are you crazy?"
Five thousand meters above the altar, a group of young men and women were in a helicopter looking down at the devastation below.
"Captain, those two are monsters! How could they destroy such a huge beast tide in just a few minutes?" A bald man with a terrifying aura looked at the ground full of severed limbs and carcasses with extreme horror.
“That storm contained at least hundreds of thousands of units of energy!” The bespectacled young man said solemnly, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “That mysterious person is very likely one of the ‘Prophet’s’ men!”
"Should this matter be reported?" another woman asked tentatively.
"Even if it's reported, do you think anyone has the ability to control a prophet?" The bespectacled young man spoke slowly and deliberately, making it impossible to discern his true meaning.
"Hey, do you guys think this mysterious person might be the Prophet himself?" a skinny young man huddled in the corner of the helicopter suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the bespectacled youth's eyelids twitched. He closed the cabin door and said sternly, "Alright, stop gossiping. How can we insignificant people like us criticize the Prophet's affairs!"
"By the way, Captain, what's the follow-up to what happened with the photos of Miss Liu? Should we go and find out?" the woman asked, turning around.
"No need, I'll handle this myself!" The bespectacled young man sat back down and closed his eyes to rest.
On the other side, Jiang Yuan's Five Elements Ring had ended, and after the Five Elements Ring ended, he also suffered a severe bloodline backlash.
"The overall strength has been weakened by more than 90%!" Jiang Yuan felt an urge to curse. Although the weakening only lasted for a few hours, the cooldown time of the Five Elements Ring was as long as five days. You must be joking.
The only saving grace was that the two of them crossed the city defense line before Jiang Yuan's last ten percent of divine power was exhausted.
"It must hurt a lot!" Liu Zhaodi asked with a worried look.
"Does it still hurt? It will hurt even more later!" Jiang Yuan smiled faintly. Liu Zhaodi did not know that his divine power was no longer enough to support the high-altitude flight of the Divine Wings, and the two of them were currently flying at an altitude of at least eight thousand meters.
"I didn't understand!" Liu Zhaodi frowned and shook her head.
Jiang Yuan wasn't in a hurry to explain. When the divine energy was exhausted, the Divine Wings disappeared directly, and the two of them started to move in a projectile motion due to inertia.
"Wait, are we falling?" Liu Zhaodi realized something was wrong. The two of them had just passed through the beast tide and the city's defense line in the south, so it was a bit too early to say they were landing.
"I'm going to suffer a backlash for some reason!" Jiang Yuan pointed down and said, "You'd better hold on tight to me, or you'll be in big trouble."
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Zhaodi was already a little scared, but after hearing Jiang Yuan's words, she clung to him like an octopus.
"Ninth-tier dual-elemental, it's a bit embarrassing that you can't fly!" Jiang Yuan still had time to tease him.
"So what if I can't fly? There's no rule that says a ninth-level person has to be able to fly!" Liu Zhaodi said with her eyes closed, clearly dissatisfied.
"Hold on tight, or you might land like a tough guy!" Jiang Yuan joked.
"What do you mean by a tough guy landing?" Liu Zhaodi tilted her head back, but her forehead landed awkwardly on Jiang Yuan's lips.
Jiang Yuan reached out to protect Liu Zhaodi's head, then said, "To put it another way, it means she fell down!"
Liu Zhaodi: "..."
"Really!" Jiang Yuan nodded very seriously.
"But you were so enthusiastic about fighting the monsters just now?" Liu Zhaodi asked, puzzled.
"Haven't you ever watched Ultraman? Usually, Ultraman's energy level is off after defeating a monster, so it's normal for me to have no energy after defeating a monster!" Jiang Yuan analyzed logically.
"So, Ultraman always walks home after defeating monsters?" Liu Zhaodi pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh.
"Possibly!" Jiang Yuan activated the ultimate armor with a smile.
The final form of the basic armor set is not something that can be easily broken by a fall. Even if the user loses consciousness, the ultimate armor still has an automatic protection system, which is enough to cushion the impact of the fall for both of them.
Just as Jiang Yuan had guessed, when they were 500 meters above the ground, their falling speed had reached 100 meters per second, which was enough to keep up with the resistance. At this time, the ultimate armor was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to prevent the automatic protection system from failing to activate.
Bang! Like a meteorite hitting the earth, a dark golden ball of light slammed into the ground.
"Woman, I have to say you're an idiot!" Jiang Yuan climbed out of the deep pit, feeling only backache, dizziness, and pain in his eyes.
"If someone's brain-dead, it's because you threw them!"
Liu Zhaodi slowly walked out of the deep pit. She was not injured at all. She had returned to Nancheng just as she had left, without any injuries.
"Can't you make use of your role as a ninth-level Spirit Awakener? It feels like we're on a vacation!" Jiang Yuan was speechless. His ultimate armor had been smashed to pieces and would be difficult to repair in a few days.
Ultimate Armor can repair itself, but repair takes time. If Liu Zhaodi had used her spiritual energy to slow down when she was close to the ground, it wouldn't have been this serious.
"But you were holding me, and my mind went completely blank!" Liu Zhaodi's expression turned aggrieved, and she looked unhappy.
"If I had known I could return to Nancheng on my own after the Five Elements Ring ends, I wouldn't have brought you along!" Jiang Yuan muttered. His original intention was to be safe because he was afraid of severe backlashes after the Five Elements Ring ended, so he brought this ninth-level 'god' along as a precaution.
"So you really don't want me anymore!" Liu Zhaodi suddenly smiled.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Yuan became wary upon seeing Liu Zhaodi's smile.
Liu Zhaodi played with her long, flowing hair, then said leisurely, "Oh dear, just now, I seemed to sense several squads heading in our direction!"
"And what's worse, there are actually a few eighth-level experts inside!"
As Liu Zhaodi spoke, she walked over to Jiang Yuan and gave him a meaningful look, saying, "I've heard that a lot of people rob people in this area, and they don't just rob people of their money!"
"Are you threatening me?" Jiang Yuan stared at Liu Zhaodi with great interest.
"How dare I threaten you!" Liu Zhaodi grumbled, pouting her delicate nose.
Jiang Yuan shuddered and asked strangely, "Just say what you want to say! Don't give me that affected, coquettish talk."
“I’m not being coquettish at all. Ever since I landed, you’ve been calling me brain-dead and useless, and I haven’t said a word!” Liu Zhaodi said, then lowered her head, squatted on the ground, and scribbled on the ground in frustration.
"So, you're angry?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"Hurry up and follow! The thing that fell from the Golden Gate should be up ahead!"
Before the two finished their conversation, a series of noises came from afar. Jiang Yuan, whose divine power had been completely weakened, was naturally unable to detect the aura of an eighth-level expert.
"Don't worry, this time the treasure landed in the suburbs, and no one can be faster than us!"
"Let's hope so. We've missed several opportunities for treasures to fall from the sky. If it weren't for the third brother keeping an eye on things for most of the day, we might not have even found this treasure!"
"They've arrived really fast!" Jiang Yuan glanced around and saw that there were already at least four or five people nearby.
