Chapter 321: You're The Only One I Respect for Showing Off, It Takes One Punch to Be Worshiped, Demon Eye in The Dark (I)

Chen Chu, still dressed in his black suit and wearing sunglasses, stood on the roof of the first multi-purpose vehicle, his hands clasped behind his back and his expression stern. As the vehicle sped along, the fierce wind whipped his hair into a frenzy and made his suit jacket flap violently.

Li Daoyi's voice came through Chen Chu's earpiece, sounding pained. "Brother Chu, didn't we agree I would handle this? Why are you on the roof of the car?"

Chen Chu responded calmly, "I'm here to draw their fire. Don't forget what my sensory abilities are."

Li Daoyi felt even more exasperated at this response, letting out a sigh. Well, it was no wonder he respected this guy. Every time he showed off, it was so effortlessly and naturally done.

The convoy turned, and the view widened.

Immediately, the ambushers—mercenaries, Demon God Cultists, and Kainar—spotted the convoy and Chen Chu standing on top of the car.

So, this is where the ambush is.

Feeling the gazes upon him, Chen Chu pressed a finger to his earpiece to access the convoy's public channel. "Be alert, there are ambushers on both sides of the hill ahead. More than a dozen on the left, nine on the right."

Everyone in the convoy instantly became serious. From inside the car beneath Chen Chu, Les, the military commander, responded. "Proceed according to plan. Keep driving and be ready to stop at any moment.

"Mr. Chu and Mr. Li, hold back as a last resort. Special ops squad, prepare to engage. Eliminate all attackers on the spot, leave none alive. Afterward, we can slowly investigate their identities. Mr. Li Long, have your bodyguards be ready to shield the convoy from the residual effects of the fight."

As the convoy approached, the atmosphere grew inexplicably tense. Kainar frowned, sensing something was amiss. As a Fifth Heavenly Realm expert, cultivating gene martial arts, his perception was much sharper than ordinary cultivators.

The viewers in the livestream, on the other hand, were dumbfounded. Watching the zoomed-in footage of the convoy and the arrogant bodyguard standing on top, someone couldn't help but comment, "This guy never stops showing off, does he?"

"Yeah, standing on the roof of the car, does he think the wind tastes good?"

Super Second Generation: "Haha... this guy is a talent. I like him. Kainar, make sure to hit him hard later."

"Uh... if you like him, why hit him hard?"

Super Second Generation: "Because he looks so arrogant, it annoys me. But I like his style because I want to do that too."

"Bro, you're a real talent. Make sure to add me later so I can decline."

As the live chat buzzed with excitement, dozens of figures suddenly emerged from the opposite hillside, followed by bursts of gunfire.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nine machine guns, five regular and four heavy, spewed countless flashes of fire, while five sniper cannons aimed at the leading multi-purpose vehicles and pulled their triggers instantly.

At the same time, rocket launchers fired, sending two rockets screaming through the air.

As the mercenaries charged out of the forest, the dozen or so vehicles screeched to a sudden halt.

Bang! Bang!

All of the car doors swung open, and over a dozen military experts leaped out.

Among them, a young man in his twenties erupted with blue true power, exuding the late-stage aura of the Fifth Heavenly Realm. As he saw the two incoming rockets, he swung his right claw.

Instantly, five blue claw marks, each five meters long, tore through the air.

Boom! Boom!

Under the sharp, powerful claw marks, the rockets exploded twenty meters away in mid-air.

Meanwhile, two military personnel flipped their hands, producing two heavy, diamond-shaped shields. As soon as they were planted into the ground, the shields instantly expanded and connected together to form a two-meter-high, six-meter-wide iron wall.

Immediately, black true power erupted, and black light shone on the shields, forming a massive true power shield wall five meters high and ten meters wide. The entire structure radiated an unshakeable sense of durability.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of bullets, powerful enough to penetrate concrete walls, pounded against the true power shield wall, the impact causing it to roar and glow with shattered light.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, the explosive shells lodged in the shield wall detonated violently, filling the air with fire and causing the vitality of the two military experts behind it to surge.

That was the worst they experienced, however. As Fifth Heavenly Realm experts, their true power had turned defensive, and with the support of the transcendent battle shields, they were incredibly formidable. Ordinary heavy weapons couldn't breach their defenses.

This scene left Kainar, who was streaming for the international hitman group, Kasa just a few dozen meters ahead, and the live stream viewers themselves all stunned.

What just happened?

More mercenaries rushed out from the forest on the hillside, wielding large-caliber mortars, rocket launchers, and large-caliber armor-piercing assault rifles.

"The enemy's heavy weapon bullets are highly powerful, designed to target cultivators. Maintain your true power shields!

"Infrared detection shows seventy-five people, none with significant energy fluctuations—they are all ordinary humans. Watch out for hidden cultists around us.

"Four and Five, flank from the left with me. Six to Ten, move in from the right and prevent them from unloading their ammunition. Avoid damaging the vehicles. The rest, secure the perimeter and stay alert for hidden enemies."

The second Les issued his orders, several figures exuding the auras of the Fifth and even Sixth Heavenly Realms sprang into action.

For these cultivators, a distance of over a hundred meters could be crossed in a second. Enveloped in white true power, Les dashed up the hillside, his palm striking down.

Boom!

Under the five-meter-wide palm strike, the ground collapsed within a dozen meters, and the mercenaries wielding machine guns and heavy weapons instantly exploded, scattering bloody flesh everywhere.

At the same time, a five-meter-long arc of saber light swept across, forming a semi-circular black glow. Wherever it passed, mercenaries were shredded, trees toppled, and a destructive passage over a dozen meters long was formed, causing chaos in the mercenary ranks.

"Retreat, retreat!"

"We've been tricked! There’s high-level cultivators here, a lot of them!"

"It's an ambush..."

"Spare us, we made a mistake!"

Boom!

From the moment the mercenaries attacked to the instant they were defeated, only two or three seconds had passed. Many didn't even have time to react before they were blown apart.

Those who were still alive desperately fled deeper into the forest, but they didn't get far before they were shattered by the true power surging from behind, leaving corpses scattered everywhere.

However, these ordinary mercenaries weren't the main force, but were being used as the first wave to test and draw out the defensive forces around Yan Ruoyi. Farther in the forest's shadows, over a dozen scattered Demon God Cultists coldly watched as the military experts made their move.

Kurador, in a low, buzzing voice, reported, "My god, twelve Fifth Realm and one mid-stage Sixth Realm military experts have appeared. Based on the original data, there are also two beginning- and mid-stage Sixth Realm geniuses. The convoy's defensive strength is formidable; we likely can't break through."

On all of the cultist’s necks, a black, eerie rune flickered, and a deep, resonant voice echoed in their ears. "Continue with the plan. Believe in me, and you shall achieve eternal life. Today is your opportunity to shed your weak human shells and embrace immortality."

"Embrace immortality." In a chant-like murmur, all the cultists' eyes turned red, filled with fervent faith.

"For our god, for eternity."

"Today, we sacrifice everything. After death, we shall be reborn in the great demon god Kaotoros' hell!"

"Burn everything; we shall be reborn beside the great lord Kaotoros!"

As the cultists chanted, auras of the Fourth and Fifth Heavenly Realms, and even two of the beginning-stage Sixth Realm, erupted into dark demonic energy, transforming into black flames. Their flesh and souls burned, and their bodies swelled, transforming into three- to four-meter-tall monsters covered in black scales.

Under this demonic transformation, their auras surged several times over, emitting terrifying energy. The tangible black energy shot into the sky, forming black smoke signals.

One four-meter-tall cultist lifted a massive boulder several meters in diameter and hurled it toward the convoy two hundred meters away.

The boulder emitted rings of white shockwaves, producing a tearing roar as it split the air.

Boom!

A late-stage Fifth Heavenly Realm warrior shot out from the convoy, slashing his saber to send out a saber qi that shattered the boulder in mid-air.

Immediately, the warrior transformed into a streak of red light, rushing to meet the charging Demon God Cultists. Simultaneously, the ground trembled as seventeen other hulking, demonic energy-filled monsters charged like tanks from various directions.

Some leaped dozens of meters high, crashing down with earth-shattering force and sending countless rocks flying. One of the monsters even leapt over Kainar's head, its invisible, dark, and violent aura causing Kainar to freeze in place.
