A bunch of lunatics

On the Wasteland, the wind howled, and the swirling sand stung our faces with a cold, sharp pain.

Zhang Zhi felt his mind was even more chaotic than the sandstorm.

He stared intently at Chen Fan, a matter-of-fact smile on his youthful face.

Is this kid... serious?

He's not joking, is he?

Wasn't it just youthful arrogance and a bit of empty talk?

"Brother Chen... Brother Chen Fan," Zhang Zhi's throat was dry as he struggled to organize his thoughts, trying to use the most basic common sense to awaken this group of lunatics before him, "We're outnumbered! The Alien Races has fifteen Guardian Zones, teeming with powerful warriors. Our small force wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between their teeth!"

However, to his dismay, he discovered that not only was the muscular martial arts Martial Fool Tuo Bashan excitedly clenching his fists, but even Shen Xuan, who was known for his wisdom and demeanor, was now fanning himself with a folding fan, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

What devastated him even more was that Xiao Ran, who seemed the most composed and rational, also nodded heavily at that moment.

"I agree." Xiao Ran's voice was calm and firm. "Defense is just a slow death; only by taking the initiative can we break the deadlock."

"Thump."

Zhang Zhi felt his knees buckle, and he almost knelt down before this group of lunatics.

He covered his face and let out a painful groan.

"You're all insane... you're all fucking insane!"

Chen Fan completely ignored Zhang Zhi, who was standing behind him, disheveled in the wind.

He raised his wrist, and a pale blue Holographic Star Map unfolded in mid-air, with thirty-six points of light arranged like chess pieces.

His fingertips glided lightly across the Light Screen, and his clear amber eyes gleamed with the sharp light of a hunter locking onto his prey.

Finally, he pressed his finger heavily on a red dot of light not too far from the Blackrock Guardian Zone.

"That's it."

A mischievous smile, typical of youth, curled at the corners of Chen Fan's lips, and his voice was clear and crisp.

"Target: Primary Guardian Zone, Black-Armored Demon Bull Race. This clan is known for its physical defense; they are simple-minded but physically strong. Their leader, Niu Ben, Fourth-Turn Peak Bone Tempering Realm, and it is said that his black armor is indestructible, difficult to break through even among those of the same level."

Chen Fan put away the Star Map, waved his hand, and spoke succinctly.

"Set off."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to transform into a golden Stream of Light, shooting into the distance like a sharp arrow.

Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, Tuo Bashan, and Xiao Ran followed without hesitation.

Zhang Zhi was left standing alone, the wind and sand ruffling his hair and disrupting his long-held Martial Dao values.

"Wait for me!"

Finally, a cry of grief and indignation rang out. Zhang Zhi sighed, gave a resigned bitter smile, and braced himself to follow the group of reckless madmen.

He wanted to see just how much trouble these lunatics could cause.

Fifteen minutes later.

The Black-Armored Demon Bull Race's Guardian Zone.

Five streaks of Stream of Light descended from the sky without warning, without any intention of concealing their presence.

Especially Chen Fan, who was at the forefront, Third-Turn Bone Tempering Realm Qi and Qi and Blood power like a plume of smoke, violently soaring into the sky and domineeringly announcing his arrival.

"Waaaaa!!"

The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire Alien Races camp, and chaos erupted within the Guardian Zone.

"Enemy attack! It's the Human Race!"

How many people?

"Just... just five!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavy, drum-like footsteps echoed from the depths of the camp, causing the earth to tremble violently.

A colossal bull, as large as a mountain and covered in thick, jet-black scales, led hundreds of equally imposing Alien Races Prodigies as they charged out with overwhelming force.

It was the local leader, Niu Ben.

When he saw the mere five figures in mid-air, especially the harmless-looking Human Race child leading them with rosy lips and white teeth, Niu Ben was first stunned, then burst into deafening laughter.

"Haha! I thought some ignorant race had come to their deaths! But it's just five Human Race brats! What, are the Human Race out of options? Sending you guys to be our snack?"

Hundreds of Demon Bull Clan Prodigies roared with laughter, their mocking voices creating a wave that swept across the surrounding area.

Faced with the barrage of ridicule, Chen Fan listlessly picked at his ear, a look of disgust on his face.

"It's noisy."

He uttered two words softly.

"Let's do it."

Almost the instant his words fell!

Buzz!

Shen Xuan suddenly unfolded his folding fan, unleashing a chilling Sword Qi. He transformed into a streak of azure lightning, instantly cutting into the enemy formation!

A flash of silver light appeared in Su Qingyue's eyes, and an invisible Mental Storm swept out like a tsunami. The dozens of Demon Bull Clan Prodigies at the forefront froze, their eyes instantly glazed over, and they fell straight down!

"Roar!"

Tuo Bashan let out an excited roar, like an ancient savage dragon awakening, and smashed directly into the densest herd of cattle. Every punch he threw was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering!

Xiao Ran followed closely behind. Although he was not as imposing as the first three, his attacks were ruthless and deadly!

The four men were like four red-hot daggers, easily piercing into a block of butter.

The once imposing Alien Races formation was instantly torn open with a horrifying gash of flesh, and screams, roars, and cries of terror filled the air.

"Court death!"

Seeing his men being slaughtered unilaterally, Niu Ben was completely enraged!

He abandoned his other targets, stomped his four hooves on the ground, and his massive body, like a moving steel fortress, carried a destructive and oppressive aura that could crush everything, and crashed straight into the most obstructive Human Race cub in mid-air!

He wanted to trample this arrogant brat into a bloody pulp with one stomp!

Faced with this fierce and deadly attack, Chen Fan neither dodged nor evaded.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

He simply raised his right hand calmly and slowly clenched his five fingers.

"Star Shattering."

A punch was unleashed with overwhelming force.

There were no spectacular light and shadow effects, and no earth-shattering energy fluctuations.

It was just an ordinary punch that gently collided with Niu Ben's horns, which were powerful enough to shatter mountains.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The next second.

"Click..."

A faint, yet clearly audible cracking sound rang out, reaching the ears of every living being present.

Under Niu Ben's utterly terrified gaze, his prized black armor, which he claimed was unbreakable among his peers, along with his indestructible bull horns, cracked like a spiderweb, as if struck by a hammer.

The cracks spread instantly throughout his body.

Boom!!

There were no screams.

Niu Ben's enormous body, along with his Divine Soul and Origin Dao Seed, exploded into a dazzling golden rain of light under an irresistible and extreme destructive force.

One punch, instant kill!

Chen Fan skillfully opened his palm, and a phantom image of an ancient Great Furnace flashed past behind him.

The Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture!

On the battlefield, all the Alien Races Prodigies who were killed, including the rain of light that Niu Ben exploded into, all turned into streams of pure Origin Source, which Chen Fan swallowed whole.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nourished by the massive amount of pure energy, the auras of Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, and Tuo Bashan surged simultaneously, instantly breaking through the shackles and steadily stepping into the peak of the One-Turn Bone Tempering Realm!

As the leader, Chen Fan's own Qi and Blood surged like a river bursting its banks!

Third Reincarnation Peak!

Feeling the surging, ocean-like power within him, Chen Fan let out a satisfied burp.

He turned to look at the dense red dots on the Star Map, his amber eyes gleaming with a dangerous yet excited light, and the corners of his mouth curving into an even brighter smile.

"Come on, everyone, this is just an appetizer."

"Next, let's try our luck at an Intermediate Guardian Zone."
