"Who?"
Hearing the noise, Xu Wange turned her head sharply.
Although she was ruthless and didn't talk much, she had carefully memorized the information about the China vanguard before coming.
She recognized the person immediately with just one glance.
"Captain Zhao Yan of the Sharp Blade Squad?"
Xu Wange frowned, and her surging killing intent faltered.
Since it was one of their own people who called for a halt, and even used the words "[Dragon God]"...
Her heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she might have made a huge mistake.
He immediately released the mechanism of the Proud Dragon Maces, forcibly cutting off the output of [Mountain-Shaking].
"Chen Bin! Stop! They're our own people, don't fight!"
Xu Wange yelled at Chen Bin.
"I... I can't stop!!!"
Chen Bin's voice was trembling with sobs and panic.
At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to run away, let alone stop.
The dazzling golden light emanating from the [Eye of Mobius] between Jiangnan's brows was directly under his intense gaze.
Little by little, it pushed back towards his eye socket!
Seeing this, Zhao Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He rushed to Tang Sirui's side and quickly learned the whole story in a few words.
"Old Deng, that's how it is..."
"Xiao Wu and I were just flying kites, but they mistook us for monsters and threatened us. Even the Dragon God was mistaken for some kind of the Three-Eyed Tribe."
After hearing Tang Sirui's explanation, Zhao Yan slapped his forehead, inwardly lamenting his predicament.
"Oh no! The Dragon God is definitely angry!"
Anyone who is attacked for no reason while walking down the street, even a clay figure, would be furious, let alone this ruthless and decisive God of Slaughter of war!
"Dragon God! Please calm your anger!"
Zhao Yan quickly stepped in between, pleading for Chen Bin with a beaming smile.
"This is a huge blunder!"
"Chen Bin is a newcomer in our Ascending Dragon Squad, only in his early twenties. He's young, hot-blooded, and doesn't know any better!"
"You're so magnanimous, please don't stoop to his level!"
Jiangnan stood still, and the golden light between his brows not only did not diminish, but instead advanced another half inch.
So what if you're in your early twenties?
Jiangnan sneered inwardly. He even said he'd just turned eighteen!
However, he really had no intention of getting serious with this immature, spoiled brat.
That kick just now and the current exchange of balls are just to give him a bloody lesson, to teach him a lesson he won't forget.
In this ruthless world, arrogance requires real strength!
If you speak and act without thinking, you'll eventually lose your own life and the lives of your teammates.
Seeing that Jiangnan showed no sign of stopping, Zhao Yan broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Jiangnan was still angry.
He whirled around and roared at the two men, "Xu Wange! Chen Bin! Apologize to the Dragon God right now!"
When Xu Wange learned that the young man with vertical pupils on his forehead was the legendary Dragon God, she was completely speechless.
She put away her double maces, stood ramrod straight, and bowed deeply towards Jiangnan, her tone sincere.
"Dragon God, I'm so sorry!"
"It was my Xu Wange, Xu Wange, who was blind and mistook you for a native enemy of the Canglan Continent."
"I acted impulsively. If you want me punished, I have no complaints!"
However, Chen Bin, who was in mid-air, did not hear Zhao Yan and Xu Wange's words at all.
Because that dazzling [Extinction Tribulation Light] was less than half a meter away from his face!
The terrifying heat and destructive aura had already scorched his hair.
If this continues, his proud Steel Body will definitely be pierced through the head!
"Ahhh! I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Chen Bin's psychological defenses completely collapsed; the fear of death shattered his self-esteem.
He desperately tried to maintain his increasingly faint thermal vision while wailing and crying in a ridiculous manner.
"Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
"Captain Zhao! Sister Wange! Help!"
"Make him stop! Waaaaah..."
"I'll never act arrogant again. I'll even kowtow to you, please let me go!"
Snot mixed with tears smeared all over Chen Bin's face.
Everyone present was stunned.
Tang Sirui and Tu Xiaowu looked at each other in bewilderment, while Zhao Yan felt his cheeks burning and wished he could disappear into the ground.
Jiangnan's brows furrowed suddenly.
What he hated most were these spineless cowards who would only cry and beg for mercy in the face of death!
He originally only intended to punish Chen Bin slightly and then stop, but seeing Chen Bin's hopeless and incompetent state, Jiangnan changed his mind.
Instead of stopping, he intensified the Suppression power of [Extinction Tribulation Light].
The golden light advanced again, now only ten centimeters away from Chen Bin's eyeball!
"Aaaaaah! Help! Why won't you help me?!"
Chen Bin screamed in despair, like a cornered dog, desperately pleading for help from Zhao Yan and Xu Wange below.
But what they received in return was a furious and disappointed rebuke from the two men.
"Shut the hell up!"
Xu Wange trembled with rage, her eyes reddening with fury.
She initially thought Chen Bin was just young and had a somewhat immature, adolescent personality.
But I never expected that they would show such a disgusting side when faced with a life-or-death situation.
"Chen Bin! You are wearing the military uniform of China! You represent the backbone of China!"
Xu Wange pointed at his nose and cursed, "It's one thing for you to be arrogant and conceited all the time!"
"Now, to save his life, he's crying and begging for mercy like a dog!"
"What's the difference between your spineless face and those traitors who sold out their country for personal gain?!"
Even if the Dragon God doesn't kill you today, I'll personally kill you, you shameless coward!
Zhao Yan's face was also ashen, and he coldly uttered two words: "Disgraceful."
These two words, along with Xu Wange about the difference between him and a traitor, shattered Chen Bin's self-deceiving facade.
The angry rebukes buzzed in Chen Bin's mind.
Looking at the contemptuous, disappointed, and even disgusted looks in his teammates' eyes, he suddenly forgot his fear.
A wave of shame overwhelmed him.
Yeah... what is he doing? He
He is a soldier of China, and a top-tier superhuman in the Ascending Dragon Squad.
How could he be begging for mercy while crying at this time?
What would happen if his friends found out?
What would happen if his parents found out?
This was more painful for him than killing him.
Chen Bin gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his tearful expression.
He looked intently at Jiangnan through the blinding golden light, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry... I've let my teammates down, and I've brought shame to the country."
Chen Bin's voice was hoarse, but he had finally regained his composure, "I'll pay for this debt with my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and deliberately cut off the energy output of his thermal vision.
He opened his arms wide, completely unprepared, ready to receive the light of destruction.
One second...
Two seconds...
The expected death did not come.
The murderous intent vanished the instant the heat vision disappeared.
The surroundings were so quiet that the only sound was the wind blowing across the wilderness.
Chen Bin opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that the dazzling golden light had vanished without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, a note landed on his face.
Chen Bin blankly picked up the note and stared at it.
Don't lose the dignity you've worked so hard to regain.
"You..."
Chen Bin held the note, staring blankly at the retreating figure that wouldn't look at him again, unable to utter a single word.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud, no longer wailing, but just wiping away the tears that wouldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
Jiangnan did not look at Chen Bin again.
He didn't want to see a piece of fine steel, which could have been forged into a divine weapon, go to waste because it hadn't been tempered.
I don't want to look at a piece of scrap metal and completely give in to self-deception and depravity.
As for which one Chen Bin will ultimately become, that is up to his own destiny; Jiangnan has no interest in that.
This experience was like a trial by fire, a brush with death.
It was merely a casual gift from Jiangnan to these friendly forces who were about to arrive.
"You agree, don't you, those of you hiding in the shadows?"
Jiangnan suddenly turned his head and looked at the empty wilderness outside Soul Return Town.
Zhao Yan was also taken aback upon hearing this.
He followed Jiangnan's gaze but found nothing.
However, just a moment later, a flash of inspiration struck Zhao Yan, and he realized something, straightening his back.
"Chief?!"
Zhao Yan exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha... I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Dragon God."
"Your keen insight is truly astonishing."
As the aged, hearty male voice echoed through the air, a transparent figure gradually took on color.
Also revealed were several guards with the lowest aura S-class, standing behind him.
And a group of engineers wearing white lab coats and holding various instruments.
The elderly man leading the group was dressed in a crisp China military uniform, with a full head of silver hair and a sprightly spirit.
He took off his military cap, revealing a kind face.
Looking at Jiangnan, his eyes were full of appreciation.
"Thank you for your help earlier, for refining and teaching this good-for-nothing young man."
The old man nodded slightly toward Jiangnan as he introduced himself.
"This old man Wan Changzheng."
"The former head of the Huaxia Second Base has now been appointed as the chief executor of the [Morning Star Infrastructure Plan] on this Weird Island."
"He will also be the future commander of the Huaxia Eighteenth Base."
Wan Changzheng stepped forward, his smile kind yet solemn, "Here, on behalf of China, I thank you."
