190: The Grim Reaper Descends on Beiyuan Heavy Industries

"Who are you?" Looking at the silver-haired young man walking towards the building, the two security guards frowned and asked sternly. "Beiyuan Heavy Industries, unauthorized personnel are forbidden!"

"Kid, get out of here..." Before they could finish speaking, their eyes turned grey, and they fell forward stiffly.

The two combat-type Second-Order Martial Artists instantly died.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the other security guards instantly changed, and they took out their weapons from the void.

"Enemy attack!" "Stop right there!" "Who the Hell are you...?"

The silver-haired young man flickered and disappeared from their sight, appearing behind them.

A wind from the netherworld seemed to drift through the void. The next second,

the Souls of the six elite security guards holding equipment shattered, and they collapsed to the ground, their vitality gone.

"La la la la..." The young man hummed a tune and picked up the access card from the ground.

[Ding dong] The elevator opened.

A group of Hunters wearing Beiyuan Guild badges appeared before them, and they were stunned when they saw him.

"Who are you?!" "Could it be...!"

The silver-haired young man smiled. "Die."

Everyone was horrified, sensing extreme mortal danger.

Without the slightest hesitation,

"Shield of Ice!" The Magician released a barrier, the warrior's energy instantly surged to his fists, the Assassin concealed himself in the shadows...

But... it was all useless.

The moment they saw Jiang Yuan, they were already controlled by his mental power; everything that happened afterward was an illusion.

"Snap!" Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers.

Everyone in the elevator simultaneously fell down, as if falling into an eternal slumber.

"Two Fifth-Order, three Fourth-Order... not a bad haul."

"Looks like it should sell for a good amount of money."

Jiang Yuan raised his hand, controlling the exploded spiritual materials and medicinal liquids to fly before him. With another thought, darkness spread from beneath him like a giant living creature, turning into a swamp that completely swallowed all the corpses.

[Dark Hole], one of the abilities developed by the Dark Throne.

It can swallow enemies and trap them in the dark world, and it can also devour all tangible things for temporary storage.

After doing this, Jiang Yuan took the elevator and went all the way up.

Wherever he went, the employees and Family members of Beiyuan Heavy Industries fell in rows like stalks.

He was like a god of death, arriving with the wind from the netherworld.

...The top floor of Beiyuan Heavy Industries, the chairman's office shrouded by several barriers.

"Whoosh..." Kitahara-do, wearing a large yukata, sat on a sofa made of high-level fierce beast hide, biting on a cigar made of Advanced spiritual materials, exhaling smoke that alone was enough to make one's blood boil and physique improve.

"Shen Yi, how was your solo dungeon trip this time?"

The purple-haired young man sitting opposite him smiled and said, "Very good. I gained quite a bit."

"After all, it's a newly discovered Secret Realm."

The old man's voice sounded. The next second, light and shadow fluctuated.

An old man wearing a black tailcoat, like an elegant butler, appeared behind Kitahara-do, chuckling.

Bei Yuan Shen Yi respectfully said, "Grandpa Yuan Zang, long time no see."

"It's good that the young master still remembers me, hoho..." The old man stroked his beard and chuckled.

Bei Yuan Shen Yi greeted him, and after exchanging pleasantries, he looked at Kitahara-do again.

"Father, I am already Fifth-Order, I should be able to participate in the Crown Position Battle now, right?"

"Hmm..." Kitahara-do hesitated.

Bei Yuan Shen Yi: "Father!"

Old Man Yuan Zang also spoke, "Master Tang, I also think the time is right. Young Master Shen Yi should participate."

Kitahara-do looked at his only son in front of him and said solemnly, "Shen Yi, the Crown Position Battle is no small matter. If you fail, it's a dead end! Have you really thought it through?"

Bei Yuan Shen Yi's expression was serious, "I have made up my mind. I will win the Crown Position Battle no matter what!"

"But you are only Fifth-Order now, although you have S-rank talent, but..."

"Father! Level and talent don't represent everything, you taught me that! Moreover, isn't giving everything for Kitahara the meaning of my birth? Please grant my wish!"

Kitahara-do looked at Shen Yi's resolute expression and finally let out a long sigh.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"I promised your deceased mother that if possible, I really didn't want you to participate, but since you have made up your mind..."

"Alright!"

"Go! Perhaps this is also your greatest Opportunity."

Bei Yuan Shen Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Father! Thank you!"

Kitahara-do turned his head to look at him. "Since you are participating, you must be fully prepared. How many pieces of equipment do you have on you now?"

"Four Dark Gold grade equipment, three Gold grade, what's wrong?"

"Not enough!"

Saying that, Kitahara-do took out two items: a stone mask and an ancient bronze mirror, which was entirely silver-white, as if reflecting moonlight.

"sage mask, Epic grade accessory, no equipment level required. It is a trophy obtained by a former King of our Kitahara by killing a king of a North African tribe. It can allow the wearer to resist 70% of mental damage, be immune to a certain degree of mental control, and has an astonishing damage amplification effect against mental-type Martial Artists."

"This is a Sequence 59 relic called [Moon Reading Mirror]. It can summon a moon spirit and has three effects: attack, defense, and escape. The side effect is that after consumption, a random segment of memory will be lost."

"These are all very precious treasures. I will give them to you now, they should be useful."

"Thank you, Father, I will make good use of them."

Bei Yuan Shen Yi bowed his head and respectfully received the two items with both hands.

Kitahara-do instructed, "Remember, besides Shingu Ryuya, your biggest rival, Musashi Yangcai and Kitahara Temple should also not be underestimated!"

He said in a deep tone, "This Crown Position Battle is not just about individual strength, but also about the forces behind you. It is far from as simple as you think."

Bei Yuan Shen Yi was confused. "Isn't the purpose of the Crown Position Battle to select the strongest Prodigy in Japan to participate in the National War three months later?"

Kitahara-do shook his head. "That's just one aspect, there's a more important reason."

"A more important reason?"

"Don't think too much about it. Just remember that the final winner will win everything!"

"Those who awaken a God-level talent will be recognized by the Shingu family, embark on the path to become King, and rule over the Shingu family!"

"!" Bei Yuan Shen Yi was greatly surprised upon hearing this. God-level talent, ruling over the Shingu family?!

He had never even thought about such a thing. So the Crown Position Battle actually hid such a secret!!

Kitahara-do patted his shoulder. "Shen Yi, you must be careful when participating in the Crown Position Battle. Don't underestimate anyone."

"I understand. Don't worry, Father, I will definitely restore the glory of Kitahara and make you proud of me."

"Just watch me win first place in the Crown Position Battle and appear on the National War stage with the name of Beiyuan."

As Bei Yuan Shen Yi spoke, a cruel smile appeared on his face. "At that time, I will definitely kill all the Great Xia geniuses who come to participate to avenge your humiliation!"

Old Man Yuan Zang sighed with emotion. "I didn't expect the young master to still remember what happened twenty years ago. He is truly filial..."

Twenty years ago, Kitahara-do was one of the prodigies representing Japan, but he was instantly killed and humiliated in the first round by a Great Xia Prodigy whose name was... Bei Zhenyuan.

The Great Xia Northern Lord, famous for killing.

Now, even if Kitahara-do had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to seek revenge from him.

"By the way, Father, I heard that Uncle Wanguo was killed. Have you found out who did it?"

Bei Yuan Shen Yi suddenly asked.

"Not yet. I have already sent people to search, and I believe there will be news soon."

"Uncle Wanguo has always been very good to me. If you find the murderer, you must notify me. I will use my talent to crush his bones inch by inch, strip off his flesh and skin, and let him see what Hell is."

Bei Yuan Shen Yi sneered sinisterly.

"Is that so?" A voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
