Ye Cang was completely unaware of what had happened in Crimson Cloud City.

It only took him more than half a day to completely slaughter all the ferocious beasts in County Area 0227 of the Gray Mist zone.

This place was originally a small county town, not very large, and the number of ferocious beast tribes inhabiting it was not high.

There were only seven.

After more than half a day of searching and killing, ferocious beasts were now extinct in this area.

[Life Energy: 1620]

He hadn't yet allocated his points from today's gains.

Bang!

After loading all the precious ferocious beast materials he had obtained into the off-road pickup truck, Ye Cang started the vehicle and headed straight for Crimson Cloud City.

Along the way, he glanced at his stats and began allocating his points.

It was still the 'Spirit' attribute.

As a large amount of Life Energy disappeared, the 'Spirit' attribute continued to grow, and the mental power in his sea of consciousness became increasingly powerful.

An hour and a half later, the 'Spirit' attribute had increased to 400 points.

His Psionic Energy realm broke through to Intermediate Psionic General.

This also meant that his psionic attack power was now enough to rival the weakest High-level Generals.

Looking at the remaining 290 points of Life Energy, Ye Cang pondered for a few seconds before adding them to the 'Physique' attribute.

Instantly, he felt his strength continuously increasing.

In less than ten minutes, his strength directly increased by 2900 kilograms.

At this moment, his strength had reached 13.4 tons.

[Ye Cang (Junior General, Intermediate Psionic General)]

[Spirit: 400]

[Physique: 134]

[Combat Skills: Aurora Sword Wings (Uninitiated 52/200), Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art (Artistic Conception·Blood Drop)...]

[Movement Technique: Profound (106/)]

[Life Energy: 0]

Glancing at the status panel, Ye Cang's mood improved even further.

He hummed a song all the way!

Soon, Ye Cang drove out of the mist.

Crimson Cloud City was not far now.

Suddenly...

Bang!

A dark shadow flashed before his eyes, followed by a "whoosh" sound of wind breaking. The next second, a rock the size of a soccer ball heavily impacted his car window.

Crack...

Shards flew everywhere!

Even the specially made car window was pierced by such terrifying force.

Ye Cang quickly reached out to block, intercepting the rock, and then slammed on the brakes.

"Who is it!"

Fury flashed in his eyes.

This was a brand new car, for crying out loud!

After just one trip out, someone had smashed his car window.

Anyone would be furious.

He got out of the car and scanned his surroundings, his gaze instantly locking onto one spot.

To his front-left, a group of three people were quietly watching him.

One of them was shaking his arm; it was clearly the person who had just thrown the stone at his car.

Looking at the three, Ye Cang's expression turned icy.

"It's them!"

Ye Cang's heart stirred. If he wasn't mistaken, these three were likely the people who had followed him in Crimson Cloud City.

However, at this moment, all three were completely covered in combat suits, and their faces were hidden behind white masks.

A scorpion pattern was printed on the masks.

As Ye Cang looked at them, the three were also sizing him up.

The person throwing the rocks was somewhat shocked, muttering in a low voice.

"Tsk, tsk, just how deep is this kid hiding his strength? Even with the glass blocking, he shouldn't have been able to easily take one of my hits."

"Stop the nonsense, block his escape routes, don't let him get away!"

One person shouted lightly, and his figure instantly charged out, shooting towards Ye Cang's direction.

At the same time, the other two charged from two flanking directions.

In less than three seconds, they had formed a pincer movement, surrounding Ye Cang.

"Scorpion Three Generals? What business do you have with me?"

Seeing their movements, Ye Cang's heart sank.

These three were not here with good intentions!

"Heh heh! Because someone wants your head as a congratulatory gift."

The leader of the group spoke with a smile, then deliberately emphasized.

"He's willing to pay handsomely!"

As soon as he said this, Ye Cang had already guessed about eighty to ninety percent of it.

Xue Long!

He was only provoking enemies like this person now.

As for the name Scorpion Three Generals, he had seen it on the 'Warrior Forum' before.

These three specialized in taking underground missions to kill Warriors, and they were notoriously infamous.

However, all three possessed General-level strength, and since they always wore masks, no one knew their true faces.

Even their voices were processed by machines.

This made them even more mysterious and unpredictable.

They had remained at large until now.

Recalling the information he had seen, Ye Cang glanced at his phone and found that it had lost signal completely.

He was unable to communicate with the outside world.

"They've thought this through quite thoroughly!"

Ye Cang sighed inwardly with helplessness.

"Too much talk leads to mistakes. I think we should quickly kill this kid and take his head back."

At this moment, another man spoke coldly.

He held a blood-red long saber in his hand, looking at Ye Cang eagerly.

It was as if he intended to tear Ye Cang to shreds the moment he moved.

"Heh heh! That's right, it's getting late. If we're too slow, the client will be unhappy!"

The leader continued to speak with a smile.

"To kill a mere Warrior and earn a hundred million Huaxia Coins, it doesn't get much better than this!"

The last person also spoke, but his tone was icy, filled with killing intent.

"Let me test this kid's skill first, see if he can take one of my blades!"

Suddenly, the man holding the long saber made the first move.

Swish!

A black shadow flashed, and the man appeared in front of Ye Cang.

The long saber slashed horizontally, and a blood-red blade light shot directly towards Ye Cang's neck.

"Die!"

Seeing this, Ye Cang's expression sharpened, and he met the attack with the God Slaying Sword in his hand.

Clang!

The moment the saber and sword collided, a piercing sound rang out.

In the clash of immense power, Ye Cang was slightly outmatched, staggering back several steps.

"Huh! This kid isn't a Warrior!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.

And just then, another person behind him, holding a dagger, stabbed directly at Ye Cang's heart.

Clang!

A metallic sound rang out as a King Slayer Flying Sword flew out, blocking the attack.

Compared to being outmatched in the head-on collision, the attack power of Psionic Energy was far too great.

A casual block easily parried the opponent's dagger.

"No good, this kid is a Psionic Warrior too!"

"Relax, we've killed two Psionic Warriors before, we won't mess this up!"

The man holding a long saber snorted coldly.

"No! This kid's Psionic Energy cultivation has already reached the Intermediate General level!"

Seeing Ye Cang block his several dagger attacks in a row, this person was instantly shocked.

And just then, the leader, holding a long spear, thrust it directly at Ye Cang's brow.

"So what if he's an Intermediate General? Take this spear!"

A piercing sound echoed. The moment this person attacked, Ye Cang instantly felt that his aura was a level stronger than the other two.

"Intermediate General!"

Ye Cang's heart sank.

With a wave of his hand, a King Slayer Flying Sword blocked the rapidly thrusting spear.

Boom!

Terrifying power surged from the King Slayer Flying Sword blocking his brow. Ye Cang felt his mental energy in his sea of consciousness tremble slightly.

But this also caused his body to stiffen for an instant.

"Such terrifying force. Although this person is only an Intermediate General, with the boost from his Combat Skill, his strength has reached around 70,000 kilograms, comparable to a High-level General."

A trace of shock flashed through Ye Cang's mind.

Seizing this opportunity, the other two had already charged over.

"Die for me!"
