The Mindset of the Strong

The next moment, the Gang Qi erupted violently, and Tang Jing used his last bit of strength to break free from the giant hand. But before he could even feel relieved, the other hand of the Vajra Dharma Form grabbed him again.

The Gang Qi erupted once more, but its strength was much weaker than before. Tang Jing only managed to break free of his upper body, while his lower body remained held by the Dharma Image.

Let go! Release me!

The Vajra Dharma Form transformed into golden light, pressing down on Tang Jing like liquid, layer upon layer, enveloping him and suppressing his resistance. Soon, only his face and one hand remained exposed.

"Wait a minute, I have a secret to tell you..."

Si Ming ignored him and continued to urge on his cultivation. Tang Jing's face was also swallowed by the golden light, leaving only one hand struggling forward as if trying to grab something, but it was all in vain. In the end, he was wrapped up into a large golden sphere.

Si Ming arrived below the golden sphere, lifted it above his head with both hands to control it, and simultaneously activated the energy within his body, pouring it into the sphere to simulate nuclear fission.

"The Star Core Decay Blazing Sun Descent!"

With both hands pressing down, the golden sphere crashed into the earth, unleashing an extreme burst of energy that transformed into a blazing sun, releasing massive amounts of light and heat. The terrifying impact shook the earth once more, devoid of any Fist Intent or Sword Intent, only pure destruction. Amidst the violent tremors, a thick mushroom cloud slowly rose into the air.

After a long while, the tremors of the earth slowly subsided. The air was filled with the lingering effects of high temperatures and severe nuclear radiation. Si Ming took a deep breath, braced himself with his hands, and opened the acupoints on his body, absorbing all the nuclear radiation like a whirlwind.

The physical body of Spirit Transformation is truly powerful. Under these circumstances, Tang Jing's body was not vaporized, but instead turned charred black like withered wood, losing all vitality. When the air blew, it dispersed bit by bit like sand, as if weathered.

"Truly... a terrifying move. There is actually a martial art in the world that so purely pursues destruction. Even if Void Returning Great Grandmaster were to make a move, it would probably only be at this level."

"This move is powerful, but it's too dispersed, unable to concentrate all its energy in a small area. It's certainly effective against a large number of enemies, but in a one-on-one duel between experts, it's no more threatening than an ordinary ultimate move."

Si Ming explained, then turned around and saw that the person who intercepted the Vicious Qi Evil Spider was actually Cuan Er, and he was wearing an aerial combat-type Profound Armor.

Cuan Er Si Ming's questioning gaze, Cuan Er smiled and explained, "Let me introduce myself. I am a member of the Shadow Hero Guard, codenamed 'Night Owl.' Due to confidentiality regulations, I cannot reveal my identity to you upon our first meeting. I hope you understand."

Are you from the Su State?

"I am France, but I am also a member of the Mohist School."

Si Ming nodded. Just as there were disciples of other schools of thought in Su State, there were naturally disciples of the Mohist School in other countries as well.

"You arrived just in time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill the Vicious Qi Evil Spider. Thank you very much."

"It's my duty, no need for thanks," Cuan Er said modestly, then changed the subject, "However, many parts of my Profound Armor are damaged. If Young Hero Si could help me get some Profound Armor technicians in the country to repair it, I would be extremely grateful."

Si Ming glanced at it and saw that the Profound Armor on the other party's body was indeed obviously damaged, clearly indicating that a considerable price had been paid to stop the Vicious Qi Evil Spider from escaping.

France also has Profound Armor technicians, but most of the Profound Armor in France are imported from the Mohist School, and their numbers are scarce. If an unfamiliar Profound Armor suddenly appears, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Then, by following the clues, it will be easy to find out Cuan Er's identity.

With the formidable enemy defeated, Si Ming felt much better and asked with a smile, "This should be considered a work-related injury, right? Can't we get reimbursed by the organization?"

"Sigh, the pay for us Shadow Hero Guard is too low. At most, we get a small bonus, but no other extra benefits. We have to pay for all equipment wear and tear ourselves."

"If you want better treatment, you have to fight for it yourself. For example, you can hold marches, demonstrations, sit-ins, strikes, or even hire people to hold up banners and shout that your boss is unfair and is swallowing up your hard-earned money."

Cuan Er wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Young Master Si's method is too radical. I feel like I haven't even gotten the reward yet, and my identity has already been exposed. I'll probably lose my job too."

"Since I can't be Shadow Hero Guard, I might as well go from the shadows to the light and become a Mohist Knight Guard. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Besides, the Vicious Qi Evil Spider is on the Villain Ranking and is a long-term wanted super international criminal. The bounty will definitely be substantial. You'll get a share, and you'll be a multi-millionaire when you go back. Why bother being a Shadow Hero Guard? I might as well not repair my Profound Armor. It's time to start enjoying life."

"Then forget it. I'm an ambitious young man with ideals and aspirations, I don't want to be a lazy bum who just sits around doing nothing," Cuan Er said, then quickly added, "When I said 'forget it,' I didn't mean forget the bonus. Young Master Si's word is law, please don't embezzle my share of the reward."

After exchanging a few banter, Si Ming said casually, "Judging from your composed demeanor, I suppose my master is safe."

Cuan Er for a moment, then asked blankly, "This... isn't it because Master Yan has escaped danger that Young Master Si is in the mood to chat and laugh with me?"

Si Ming was a little confused. "I've been fighting the Vicious Qi Evil Spider here the whole time, how could I possibly know about my master's situation?"

"I've traveled all this way, but I haven't seen a trace of Master Yan."

The four eyes stared at each other blankly for a moment, then the two snapped out of their daze and hurriedly split up to search for Yan Jinghong's whereabouts, inwardly cursing each other: This guy is so unreliable!

Chapter 499 The Mindset of the Strong

On the frozen lake shrouded in white mist, six ice towers separated the inside and outside of the formation, forming an isolated world. The sounds of fierce fighting constantly emanated from the formation, echoing through the mountains and forests, their lingering echoes never ceasing.

After a moment of silence, the Primal Qi violently trembled, strange phenomena appeared in the sky, and the earth trembled. Two powerful forces clashed with each other within the formation, and the Yin-Yang Blade Force and the Ice and Snow Cold Force spread out alternately, shaking the surrounding area and finally causing a spatial explosion.

After a noticeable distortion of the void, cracks appeared on the surface of the six ice towers, which spread rapidly and collapsed in the blink of an eye, turning into a pile of ice shards. The Sixfold Flying Snow Formation was instantly broken!

The cold current accumulated within the formation poured out like an avalanche, turning the originally lush green forest into a vast expanse of white snow. The snow was three feet thick, as if time had reversed, instantly retreating from spring back to winter.

A heavily wounded figure leaped out of the snow and landed unsteadily on a pine tree. It was Bold Evil Shentu Chuang. His body was covered in ice crystals, and his fur was frozen stiff. His eyebrows, in particular, were pure white and hung out at an angle, like willow branches weighed down by snow.

Shentu Chuang spat out a mouthful of blood foam, which frothed into a lump before it even hit the ground. His body temperature was frighteningly low; water splashed on him would immediately freeze into ice, and even the air he exhaled from his nostrils was mixed with fine ice shards.

At the center of the Sixfold Flying Snow Formation, Ling Huanxi stood with her spear in hand, her aura chaotic and fluctuating, her body radiating heat that caused the nearby ice and snow to melt rapidly. Clearly, she was also injured, though much less so than her opponent.

The outcome of this battle was self-evident. Ling Huanxi had won, but the possibility of capturing Shentu Chuang was too small, and she didn't have high expectations for it. Her only goal was to stall the enemy.

"Well done, Divine Spear of Ice and Snow! The outside world has underestimated you. I've had my fill of fighting today, so let's call it a day."

"Not to kill each other?"

Shentu Chuang laughed heartily, "Although I might occasionally be flexible, most of the time I stick to my principles. Fighting a woman to the death would go against a man's principles, so..."

"Then please, Venerable Bold Evil, be flexible this time."

Accompanied by a sinister voice, a wisp of black mist drifted in and materialized into the figure of Wei Chunxi, who said, "If the two of us work together, we still have a chance to break the Divine Spear of Ice and Snow. Even if we can't kill Yan Jinghong, killing his sworn sister will still be a great achievement."

Shentu Chuang frowned and said, "You want me not only to bully women, but also to cooperate with you to outnumber the enemy. That violates two principles in one go."

"Breaking one principle is the same as breaking two principles, so why should Bold Evil care about numbers?"

Wei Chunxi spoke in a hoarse voice, while waving the black banner in his hand, summoning countless insects, densely packed like a black cloud, emitting a disturbing buzzing sound.
