High-level experts just don't walk the beaten path.

Jiang Hou, after leaping directly from the fourth floor and landing in the alley, hailed a taxi at the intersection and arrived at the agreed meeting point in the suburbs twenty minutes later.

Under the streetlights, Zong Zheng Nanmo was already waiting for him.

"Jiang Hou, you're here." Looking at the approaching stern teenager, Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little excited and nervous.

This was his formal involvement in a Transcendent mission, and it was to clear out Pollution Monsters from a Different Dimension. Just thinking about it made his blood boil.

Jiang Hou nodded, "Let's go, the president is waiting for us inside."

As he spoke, his entire being transformed into a black shadow and shot out, instantly crossing dozens of meters.

After his physique broke through the Third Order, in addition to his strongest strength attribute, Jiang Hou's agility also reached 180, equivalent to 18 times that of an ordinary person.

Of course, the numbers were just numbers. Jiang Hou's current normal burst speed was about seventy meters per second, and he could jump up to fifteen meters high.

Coupled with his amazing nerve reactions, he could already scale walls and walk on roofs in the city.

"Damn, Jiang Hou, how did you get even faster!" Watching the figure disappear into the darkness in the blink of an eye, Zong Zheng Nanmo's eyes widened. A wisp of cyan whirlwind surrounded him as he hurriedly followed.

However, his speed was only about twenty meters per second, several times faster than ordinary people, but not by much.

The entrance to the Different Dimension was an abandoned town after a collective relocation due to the construction of a highway.

When Jiang Hou turned into a black shadow and rushed into the center of the town, he saw Jiang Ruochan standing on the roof of a four-story building.

Whoosh! Jiang Hou leaped more than ten meters high and landed beside Jiang Ruochan. Then, he noticed that there were seven other people in front, six of whom were divided into two groups and stood casually by the roadside.

Another bald young man, similar to Jiang Ruochan, was standing on an extinguished streetlight by the roadside.

These people didn't look very old, most of them in their twenties, except for a burly man with a full beard below, who might be in his thirties.

Unlike Jiang Hou, who was lightly armed, these people were almost fully armed, each wearing a set of black armor similar to an exoskeleton.

It was similar to Iron Man's suit, but much thinner. It was unknown how strong the defense was.

Two of them had a greatsword and a Slashing Blade as weapons, standing behind the bearded man. The other two had some sci-fi-looking high-explosive grenades hanging on their waists.

One of them was carrying a two-meter-long Gatling machine gun with a caliber of more than thirty millimeters, and a large bag of ammunition chains on his back, almost armed to the teeth.

The other was not to be outdone, carrying a rocket launcher on his back and a large-caliber sniper rifle in his hand that had obviously been modified.

In fact, this was the mainstream equipment for low-level Transcendents. With strength and reaction exceeding ordinary people, combined with high-power modern firearms, they could exert stronger lethality.

After waiting for about two minutes, Zong Zheng Nanmo ran over, panting slightly, and climbed to the roof through the stairs.

It was not until then that the bald young man standing on the streetlight, carrying a large black box on his shoulder, slowly spoke.

"Everyone's here, let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Tu Ni, Fourth Order, the person in charge of this cleanup mission. Let's have a brief introduction."

Hearing this, the burly man with a full beard below said in a deep voice, "Jiang Wanshan, captain of the Warhammer Squad, Third Order Peak."

Behind the burly man, the young men holding the greatsword and Slashing Blade nodded slightly, "Ye Junda, Third Order Late Stage," "Miao Fang, Third Order Late Stage, Warhammer Squad."

He was Jiang Wanshan.

Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo looked at the bearded strong man, surprise showing in their eyes.

They had a deep impression of this person who was number one on the Reserve Force Combat Power Ranking. They didn't expect him to be such a slightly old-fashioned strong man.

Among the other group of three, the blue-haired youth at the head calmly said, "Fu Hongyu, Third Order Peak, captain of the Glacier Squad."

Behind the blue-haired youth, the young man carrying an enlarged Gatling gun said with a grin, "Duan Xuan, Third Order Late Stage, specializes in fire support." "Huang Ziting, Third Order Late Stage."

The woman called Huang Ziting held a rifle and wore a green mask like those worn by special forces soldiers on her face.

After speaking, the few people slightly raised their heads and looked at Jiang Hou and the others.

Being watched by a group of experts, Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little nervous: "I'm called Zong Zheng Nanmo, Second Order, ability is wind control."

Second Order? Everyone frowned.

Jiang Hou said calmly: "Jiang Hou, Third Order Initial Stage, Divine Weapon Era system."

As soon as Jiang Hou finished speaking, Zong Zheng Nanmo beside him opened his mouth wide: "Third Order... Damn, when did Jiang Hou break through to Third Order?"

Even Jiang Ruochan turned her head in surprise.

Jiang Hou had already thought of a reason and explained softly: "These past two days, under the blessing of the Demonic Blade, my slowly increasing physical strength barely crossed into the Third Order."

This… Even though he said that, Zong Zheng Nanmo still felt a little pained.

He finally broke through to Second Order, and this guy had already broken through to Third Order.

"The two powers have formed a complement, which is a pleasant surprise." Jiang Ruochan said in a flat tone, then looked at Shen Tu Ni and the others and said lightly, "You don't need to mind me. I'm just bringing them here to see the world this time. The cleanup mission is still mainly up to you."

...Seeing this, Shen Tu Ni's eyes were contemplative, but he didn't say anything.

The list for this cleanup mission originally only included Shen Tu Ni, Jiang Wanshan, and Fu Hongyu's two squads, but in the end, a squad called Wind Chime Squad was inserted.

This situation had never happened before.

Moreover, this squad was very mysterious, and no information could be found about them. Therefore, the simple self-introduction just now was mainly for Jiang Hou and the others to hear.

As for Jiang Wanshan, Shen Tu Ni and the others, they naturally knew each other as they belonged to the same Wing City branch.

"Let's go, everyone remember to turn on the active scanning function of your watches."

As he spoke, Shen Tu Ni turned around, the street lamp under his feet suddenly collapsed, and his figure shot out with a bang, disappearing into the air more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Wanshan and the others followed, also disappearing into the streets more than ten meters away.

"Let's go too!"

Jiang Hou clenched his right hand, and a black knife hilt thirty centimeters long appeared in his hand, as if he was pulling out a 1.3-meter blade from the void bit by bit.

Buzz! The black and white light from the Demonic Blade's guard spread, the black turning into broken armor covering his lower body, and the white light forming bandages wrapped around Jiang Hou's upper body, including his cheeks.

Under the power of the Demonic Blade, his black hair grew explosively, like a waterfall, intertwined with the bandages flying around his body, moving without wind.

Even though it wasn't the first time he had seen this scene, Zong Zheng Nanmo's face was still full of envy. There was nothing he could do, it was too cool. Why didn't he have the ability to transform?

Whoosh! Jiang Hou turned into a black and white phantom, landing more than twenty meters away with a bang.

However, he didn't go in directly this time. Instead, he waited for Zong Zheng Nanmo, surrounded by a cyan whirlwind, to come downstairs and catch up before taking a step and passing through an invisible film.

Instantly, another world appeared before his eyes.

Here, the sky was dim and oppressive, with low buildings standing in rows, a complete reflection of the town outside, only the buildings were more dilapidated and old, like a ghost town.

Jiang Hou looked back and could see Jiang Ruochan standing on the roof of a small building a dozen meters away.

The girl was wearing a black trench coat, her hands in her pockets, her expression calm and indifferent, with the bright moon hanging high behind her, her black hair flying in the wind. This scene was incredibly cool.

First update, more to come.
