250: You want to assassinate me too? You're overestimating yourself!

Night.

Shen Bei changed to a different car.

Bai Wei was nowhere to be found.

Leaving Shen Bei and a driver.

The driver was a middle-aged man named Ming Ye, with deep nasolabial folds, a hooked nose, wide eyes, and greying temples.

"Please get in."

Ming Ye, with a stern expression, opened the passenger door.

Shen Bei, like a young master, directly sat in the back row.

Ming Ye was momentarily awkward: "The back seat isn't very comfortable, is it?"

Shen Bei shrugged: "No matter how comfortable the front seat is, it's not as comfortable as lying in bed."

"Alright... alright."

Ming Ye entered the driver's seat, smoothly started the vehicle, and entered the highway from the Lingnan City toll station.

Gradually moving away from the city lights, the vehicle maintained a steady speed, neither fast nor slow, driving along the dark, shrouded highway.

The night was deep, like a boundless black velvet cloth, tightly enveloping the entire world.

Only the streetlights on both sides of the car's headlights, like sparse strings of stars, connected a brilliant track of light, guiding the car swiftly through the dark night.

Inside the car, the low, powerful roar of the engine was particularly noticeable in the quiet night, like the breathing of a sleeping beast, each acceleration accompanied by a heart-like pulsation.

Outside the car window, the scenery on both sides of the road blurred into streaks of afterimages as the car sped by, merging with the darkness.

At this moment, Ming Ye looked in the rearview mirror, glanced at Shen Bei who was resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly said: "Indeed, heroes emerge from the young. Meeting an Immortal Master today, I am truly filled with admiration."

Shen Bei slowly opened his eyes, let out a soft 'oh,' and smiled, saying: "Then elaborate on the points you admire so I can have a better understanding of myself."

Ming Ye: ???

No... is this kid really so shameless?

Not humble at all, and even asking for details?

This completely stumped Ming Ye.

He just wanted to start a conversation; he had no intention of pondering Shen Bei's achievements.

Everyone is busy, alright?

After all, although Shen Bei had some fame, not everyone lived for Shen Bei.

Everyone had their own matters to deal with; who had the leisure to spend all day studying one person?

That was the job of historians; they were willing to spend decades studying an ancient Dynasty and emperor.

"Uh..." Ming Ye stammered, then thought of a brilliant explanation: "You're quite handsome."

Shen Bei gave a thumbs-up: "My deeply hidden virtues have been discovered by you. Alas, I am indeed a firefly in the dark, so dazzling."

At this moment, Ming Ye had an urge to smack Shen Bei to death, almost losing control of the steering wheel.

He was too damn shameless.

Give him some sunshine and he'll shine, give him a chicken coop and he'll lay eggs, right?

Ming Ye took a deep breath, calmed his fluctuating emotions, and a kind and amiable expression appeared on his face: "I heard you performed very bravely in the cave in Changtu County. You must have gained a lot, right?"

Shen Bei nodded: "Didn't earn much. Mainly, I wasn't familiar with the route, so I raided a wealthy family in a village, picked up some junk, and sold it for a pittance."

"That can't be." Ming Ye was suspicious: "The first time exploring a cave, everyone makes a killing. Otherwise, why would Martial Artists be so eager to participate in cave defense battles? They're waiting for the first wave to enter and sweep up valuable items."

Shen Bei sighed: "It's all because I caught a human halfway through, and it messed things up."

"Human?" Ming Ye's eyes flickered: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know what this mission is about?" Shen Bei asked curiously.

Ming Ye shook his head: "My mission is just to drive you to Shen City Military Headquarters."

"Oh." Shen Bei crossed his arms: "Then I can't say. I'm still hoping to exchange information for money."

Ming Ye fell silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "The cave is a big world; encountering humans can't be a bad thing."

Shen Bei curled his lips and said: "For some people, it is a bad thing."

Ming Ye's eyes flickered: "You're really good at joking."

"You're really good at driving."

Ming Ye's mouth twitched, and he continued driving.

However, his eyes occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror, staring at Shen Bei.

Unconsciously.

Shen Bei opened his eyes again and asked: "Where are we now?"

Ming Ye checked the navigation: "Near Lijia Gang."

"Why haven't you made your move yet?"

"What?"

"Is it because I'm handsome and you can't bear to?" Shen Bei asked again.

Ming Ye's face immediately darkened: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I've made it so obvious, why are you pretending? Let's all be honest and see who can bare their heart the most."

Shen Bei sat motionless, his aura like dangerous mountains, and he slowly

continued: "I am a Five-Rank Martial Artist. If you are below Five-Rank, continue driving, then report to Bai Wei and accept interrogation. "

"If you are above Five-Rank, we can spar. What if you achieve a great feat?"

Suddenly.

The tense atmosphere in the car, where every sound was magnified and every shadow seemed to hide danger, made one apprehensive.

Ming Ye's expression instantly stiffened, his voice hoarse, and his eyes revealed a crazy, hysterical quality: "How did you know?"

"No Military discipline." Shen Bei's gaze was cold and solemn: "When performing a mission, what should be asked and what shouldn't, you completely disregarded. This only shows that you don't take Military discipline seriously at all."

"Who in the Military Headquarters wouldn't want to abide by Military law?"

Shen Bei curled his lips, answering his own question: "Of course, it's the Apocalypse Cult or the Headhunter Tribe."

Ming Ye narrowed his eyes: "Your guess is baseless."

Shen Bei spread his hands: "Alright, you're on the list."

Shen Bei made a final bluff, wanting to see if Ming Ye would reveal his true form.

"Die!"

Ming Ye didn't hesitate at all.

Since he was already exposed, why hesitate?

Ever since receiving the secret document from his superiors, stating that Shen Bei had a list of moles and was on his way for an on-site identification.

Ming Ye was dispatched with the mission to intercept and kill him halfway.

Of course, Ming Ye also knew that the higher-ups definitely had backup plans, but if he could kill Shen Bei one step ahead.

That would be a great achievement!

He might even get the chance to meet Nine Lives Raven, Heaven-Shaking Slave, and Abi the Derelict Monk.

Receiving any guidance from them would surely make him soar!

Do it!

Ming Ye instantly unleashed the formidable aura of a Five-Rank Martial Artist.

Disregarding the car losing control, he turned within the cramped vehicle and launched a punch at Shen Bei.

As this punch was thrown, it brought with it a muffled, thunder-like roar in the air, reverberating back and forth.

A visible circular impact, like a wave, rapidly spread forward from the tip of his fist.

Shen Bei snorted contemptuously: "It seems you don't have a real trump card. Barely Five-Rank, a spur-of-the-moment decision, trying to snatch the fruit? What a pipe dream!"

Shen Bei truly didn't put Ming Ye in his eyes.

A Five-Rank Martial Artist... completely unimpressive.

The next moment.

The muscles on Shen Bei's right arm rippled and swelled like waves, then, like a heavy cannon, roared out!

Boom~~

Their fists collided in a flash of lightning.

Like thunder igniting earth fire, rolling shockwaves, Qi waves, and ripples instantly exploded violently, sweeping in all directions.

The car windows shattered, and the roof was directly torn off and flung away.

A large number of interior parts scattered backward like paper, covering the ground.

At this point, the vehicle completely lost control, its tires screeching as it violently veered off its original path, propelled by a twisted force that almost defied physics, crashing into the side guardrail.

The moment of impact, metal and concrete collided with a deafening roar, sparks flying everywhere.

Under the immense impact, the vehicle instantly shot into the air, its body spinning and tumbling, like a leaf ravaged by a storm, losing balance and direction, completely defying the constraints of gravity.

At this moment, it was as if an irresistible force struck from beneath Shen Bei's body, more like an invisible giant hand, mercilessly pulling him out of the shattered car.

His body made a helpless parabolic motion in mid-air, the surrounding scenery rapidly changing, dazzling lights, the dark night sky, and the tumbling car intertwining and flashing in his vision.

The air was like a solid wall, violently crashing into him.

Bang~~

Shen Bei was thrown over a hundred meters away before he finally stopped.

As Shen Bei just stood up.

A dark figure, accompanied by a fierce, chilling wind, rushed over rapidly.

"We're both Five-Rank, why are you so arrogant!"

Ming Ye's voice floated in mid-air.

Shen Bei raised his head, squinting, looking straight at the charging Ming Ye.

"I admit you're a bit better than me."

"Good! Prepare to die!"

But Shen Bei's next sentence was: "We both crashed, and you got up faster than me. You are indeed impressive."

Ming Ye's expression froze, his eyes flickering rapidly: "Mere wordplay! You have no chance!"

The next moment.

Ming Ye was close to Shen Bei.

His palm pushed forward fiercely, immensely powerful, directly shattering all the air beside him, forming a giant, dark True Qi palm that twisted the vacuum!

Martial Skill: Explosive Vacuum Palm!

The violent force almost compressed the air in front of Shen Bei into a solid, as if several Martial Artists had simultaneously attacked!

"Now that's more like it!"

Facing Ming Ye's counterattack, which revealed his true strength, Shen Bei was not surprised but delighted, laughing heartily, his laughter like rolling thunder, full of domineering intent.

The iron-like muscle fibers seemed like tightly wound steel strings, stretched to their limit. Shen Bei threw an ordinary punch, directly meeting the giant palm with a fierce strike.

Buzz!

The next moment, a deafening explosion, as if a ten-thousand-ton meteorite had fallen, caused the earth to tremble violently like an earthquake.

The highway at the center of their collision suddenly exploded, shattered, and collapsed!

A wild, boundless circular energy field rapidly expanded, covering an area of over a hundred meters in radius. All the shattered rocks and sand within it were pulverized into dust after the field's agitation. Layers of air ripples, carrying powerful and majestic sound waves, spread in all directions like raging ocean waves!

The surrounding Qi waves, like millions of monstrous beasts, roared and rushed in all directions, trampling the earth and shaking the sky with incredibly brutal and fierce postures!

But Ming Ye's face was distorted, blood splattering from his nose and mouth, clearly indicating he had been at a disadvantage in the recent clash!

"I haven't even used a Martial Skill, and you're already so easily defeated."

Shen Bei took two steps back, straightened his body, and sneered.

At this moment, Ming Ye was completely stunned, his face filled with a shocking, incredulous, and bizarre expression.

He had used a Martial Skill, yet Shen Bei, with just one punch, made him look even more disheveled!

"Your true attributes..."

Ming Ye dared not continue speaking.

Without a doubt, Shen Bei's true attributes were definitely of an explosive level!

At this moment, Ming Ye finally understood... what fear was!
