Takeoff!

Yang Shan had previously worked with Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng to fight Qin Jian to a standstill.

Now, Qin Jian's health and Dou Qi are far less than before.

After only a dozen seconds of fighting, Qin Jian was suppressed by the three men.

The long halberds, Chao Bafang, were powerful and heavy.

Yang Shan's movements were ghostly and his swordsmanship was fierce.

Zhu Tianpeng, despite having the strongest defense, stayed at the very back, using the Beast Water to provide protection for Yang Shan and Chao Bafang.

Qin Jian's two fists were no match for six hands, and the cooldown time of his Dou Qi Armor had not yet expired.

Therefore, they are attacked from time to time.

Qin Jian felt increasingly disheartened the more he was hit.

The combined efforts of the three of them put immense pressure on him.

Especially Yang Shan, whose knife was always aimed at the weak points.

If Qin Jian hadn't been more experienced and hadn't dodged with all his might, he probably would have already met his end under the blade!

Even so, Qin Jian's health was getting lower and lower.

If things continue like this, we'll only be heading towards certain death sooner or later.

Qin Jian forcefully repelled Yang Shan and Chao Bafang, his face contorted with a fierce expression. "Do you really think you can kill me?"

Qin Jian seemed to be truly prepared to risk his life.

He popped another unknown pill into his mouth.

His face flushed red instantly, followed by a surge of powerful Wood Attribute Dou Qi emanating from his body!

Zhu Tianpeng was shocked. "Be careful! This aura is too strong, my Beast Water might not be able to defend against it!"

Almost instinctively, Chao Bafang ran in front of Yang Shan and activated his Dou Qi Armor: "Great God, let me block for you!"

Chao Bafang is indeed a model employee.

It's only right to lose a star level for your boss! Even if Qin Jian's move can kill someone instantly, Chao Bafang still needs to ensure that Yang Shan has enough resources to kill Qin Jian afterwards.

But Yang Shan just smiled.

Both Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng possessed high combat strength.

But my eyesight still hasn't improved.

However, it's not the right time to explain.

Yang Shan had already begun to mobilize his Dou Qi! "Wah-ya-ya-ya!"

Qin Jian shouted loudly, looking like he was about to unleash a powerful attack.

But the Dou Qi surged wildly towards his legs.

With a loud bang!

The ground beneath Qin Jian's feet was riddled with holes, a testament to the terrifying force he had exerted with his legs.

But Qin Jian transformed into a streak of green light and darted off in the exact opposite direction from Yang Shan and the others in the blink of an eye.

He cursed in Chao Bafang, "Damn it! Your ultimate move is running away?"

"Young people are still too naive!"

Feeling he had escaped a calamity, Qin Jian felt as relieved as someone who had been holding in their stool for three days. He couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Those three arrogant bastards! We'll see next time!"

Before Qin Jian could finish speaking, he suddenly felt that he could not move his entire body.

His neck, waist, hands, and feet were all bound by lightning.

Mystic Rank Middle-Level Restricted Dou Technique - Thunder Guiding Lock!

The terrifying fluctuations of Dou Qi behind him almost made Qin Jian's heart stop beating!

Is this the Dou Qi fluctuation that Da Dou Shi can have?

"Next time? You're dreaming!"

This was the only sentence Yang Shan uttered during this battle.

That was also the last thing Qin Jian heard.

Amplified by the Thunder Spirit Flash, the "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills" strike! The Thunder Guiding Blade, crackling with thunder, slashed down from Qin Jian's crown! Yang Shan perfectly exemplified the meaning of "severing in two with a single strike"! [Ding! You have killed Qin Jian (Five-Star Dou Ling), the leader of the Qingyun Azure Cloud Association's Yun Shuang Branch. Your combat contribution rate is 17%. Calculated with the Level-Surpassing Bonus (one major realm), you have gained 10,500 experience points!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for breaking through to the Nine-Star Great Fighter! Free Attribute +5, Meridians Attribute +1!]

Zhu Tianpeng clicked his tongue in amazement. "Holy crap, that's really strong!"

Chao Bafang hoisted his halberd onto his shoulder and said, "The number one player in Battle Through the Heavens, it would be strange if he wasn't strong. Let's go, let's go see what he dropped!"

As you level up, powerful NPCs often drop spirit Spirit Stone along with loot, hiding truly valuable items beneath Spirit Stone.

So, every time I pick up what's fallen, it feels like opening a blind box.

It's so addictive! Yang Shan, mindful of Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng's curiosity, waited for them to come forward before rubbing his hands together and saying, "Let's see how many good things we have!"

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng's eyes widened involuntarily.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Shan sent thousands of Spirit Stone directly into his Storage Ring, revealing the fallen spirit stones buried below.

A token about half the size of a palm lay quietly on the ground.

To be precise, it's half a piece! Zhu Tianpeng: "Hey, Brother Yang, your luck isn't so good today!"

Chao Bafang: "Great God, did you forget to offer three sticks of incense to the AI Nüwa?"

Yang Shan himself was muttering to himself:

"There's no reason! It makes no sense!"

The Purple Word Seal also Level-Surpassing Bonus and 13 points of Good Fortune fortune.

You'll get some secret techniques and equipment, etc.

"Just half a token?" Yang Shan forced an explanation. "It's alright, this thing should be the treasure Qin Jian obtained in the Wind Spirit King's Secret Realm!"

Chao Bafang: "A great treasure? Isn't the great treasure that Mystic Rank Advanced Skill?"

Zhu Tianpeng analyzed with great seriousness, "That's not right. If this thing is a treasure, the system also indicated that as long as Qin Jian is killed, this thing will definitely drop!"

Chao Bafang suddenly realized. "So it's because the Great God has bad character?"

"You two, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all!"

Yang Shan gritted his teeth.

It's really unlucky that a purple-level Dou Ling only got the guaranteed item.

Yang Shan squatted down and took half of the token in his hand.

The token is made of a very special material, like a piece of polished white jade, with a ring of red gold inlaid around the edge.

The description of the token also appeared before Yang Shan's eyes.

The Ghoul Lord Token (Special Opportunity Item): A thousand years ago, the Central Plains "Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord" traveled the world and witnessed strange thunder descending from the sky in a mysterious place in the Northwest Continent.

The lightning flashed and spread, turning from white to red, before descending from the sky in the blink of an eye.

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord recognized this thunder as the sixteenth on the Strange Lightning List: Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.

The Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning was born from the "Crimson Tribulation Cloud," a wondrous sight in the Triple Heaven, and thus the lightning gradually turned dark red as it spread.

Its speed of movement surpasses even that of Strange Wind.

The red light concealed the source, showing no sign of fluctuation.

When still, all the light is gathered and hidden in the clouds, making it difficult to detect even flying beasts Cloud Piercing.

There is an old saying that if red clouds appear at night, disaster is imminent.

The red clouds were nothing more than ordinary clouds and mist, but they were actually Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning that fell from the Triple Heaven, dyeing the clouds and mist red.

When a stray lightning bolt strikes, few living beings in the vicinity can survive; this is a calamity.

Seeing that this cluster of Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning had only just condensed a trace of its origin, and sensing that his own time was nearing its end, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord used his Venerable Divine Power to set up a refining array, leaving an opportunity for those destined to meet him in the future.

Note: The Ghoul Lord Token was split in two by the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, but the two items were originally one and have a special connection with each other. By collecting both tokens, one can find out the location where the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning struck.

This opportunity points to the region— Black-Corner Region!

Even with Yang Shan's temperament, his heart couldn't help but race at this moment.

No wonder there was red lightning crackling around this token in the secret realm before.

Strange Lightning!

That's a supernatural lightning bolt!

A Five-Star Dou Ling with Purple Word Seal was killed, and it dropped a guaranteed item. Isn't that unreasonable? If anyone dares to say it's unreasonable, Yang Shan will immediately slap them awake.

What kind of Mystic Rank Advanced Skill is that? Compared to this half-token, it's nothing but toilet paper!

Yang Shan said in a deep voice, "I'll only show you for five seconds. After that, just keep it in your heart."

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng opened the chat.

Chao Bafang: "Holy crap!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Holy crap!"

Some top-tier items naturally need to be kept secret.

But for loyal employees of their own company, there's no need for that.

When Yang Shan obtained the Ghoul Lord Token, the system did not indicate that it would definitely drop after killing him.

In addition, the penalty for breach of Freelancer Contract is frighteningly high.

Even if these two are brainless, they should understand just how bright the company's future prospects are after seeing the information about this prop!

Working hard at the company will definitely lead to a bright future! This will also set ambitious goals for these two key employees and inspire their fighting spirit.

Of course, the most important thing is that if Yang Shan doesn't show this thing off, Yang Shan feels suffocated! Now, seeing Chao Bafang's eyes that are about to pop out of their sockets and Zhu Tianpeng's mouth that's wide open enough to fit eight duck eggs, Yang Shan feels as comfortable as if he's breathing fresh air in a deep mountain forest.

A man's happiness is that simple! Five seconds later, Yang Shan immediately deleted the message: "Have you seen it all?"

Chao Bafang: "Watch closely."

Zhu Tianpeng: "I don't read many books and I read slowly. I haven't finished reading yet. Let me read for a while longer."

Yang Shan: "Get lost! You said you were a top student last time!"

Zhu Tianpeng kept exclaiming, "Strange thunder! Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning! Just the name itself is extraordinary!"

First came envy, then jealousy, then frustration, and finally high spirits.

I wonder just how developed Zhu Tianpeng's facial muscles are, that they can support such a rich variety of facial expressions on his bloated face.

Yang Shan: "I'm showing this to you so that you have enough confidence in the company and will work hard!"

He pounded his chest with his fists Chao Bafang all directions, making a loud thud.

"Great God, you're being too polite. I've never met such a conscientious boss in my life. Even if you were killed and reduced to the Dou Qi Level 3 by someone else, I would still work hard for the company!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up! Who has the ability to kill Brother Yang back to the Dou Qi Level 3?"

Chao Bafang: "Oh, that's true!"

Yang Shan put the Ghoul Lord Token back into his Storage Ring:

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go."

Chao Bafang: "Let's go! Let's go back and grab the secret manual!"

Yang Shan: "No need. When we get back to Cloud Frost City, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Chao Bafang asked in disbelief, "That's Mystic Rank Advanced Skill! Great God, have you changed your ways? In the past, you would have already ridden back and attacked."

Yang Shan: "It's too late. Jin Shankao just transferred 50,000 yuan to me to thank me for not interfering in the fight for the manual. Ye Suifeng has already gotten his hands on it."

He frantically scratched the back of his head in Chao Bafang:

"The Hero King Manor' Mansion is really quick! Ye Suifeng is probably about to take off now."

Yang Shan laughed and said, "After all, you are the number one guild in Cloud Frost City, so it's normal that you were able to snatch it. You two will have to work harder in the next version, otherwise you might be beaten to a pulp when you encounter Ye Suifeng in the future."
