319: Two people with full fighting power

Boom!

A Mechanical Demon Dragon with four heads, as large as a mountain, emitting dense black energy, stood on the mountaintop. Its four heads sprayed terrifying energy beams, wantonly destroying the ground.

Its entire body was covered in extremely thick armor, and there was also a layer of repulsive barrier covering the outside, making it seemingly without flaws.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex of Destruction]

[LV88]

[Lord-level boss]

On the ground.

Two figures moved rapidly like streams of light, weaving between explosions and beams, approaching each other at astonishing speed.

Swish swish swish swish swish—

Spiked missiles shot out from the Mechanical Demon Dragon's back, arcing wildly through the sky, raining down on the two figures.

Jiang Yuan slashed out with his saber, and the terrifying saber light, like an aurora spanning the sky, blocked all incoming destructive shells.

For a moment, explosions continued in the sky, with firelight everywhere.

The members of the Gong Huang Guild stayed far away, unable to get close, only able to watch from a distance.

"The weak point of the barrier is the eye of its third head."

Jiang Yuan said.

Zheng Huangtong leaped high into the air, raised the silver rifle in her hand, and a silver scope appeared in front of her right eye.

"Understood."

She pulled the trigger, and her body leaped backward under the huge recoil, while the muzzle sprayed a condensed penetrating light arrow.

That light arrow seemed to skip in space, disappearing instantly and reappearing, hitting the weak point with extreme precision.

Cracks appeared in the barrier, and then it was instantly pierced.

"Crack!"

The repulsive barrier, which had astonishing defense, instantly shattered.

"Void Devour."

Jiang Yuan cut off the four heads with one slash.

"Judgment!"

Zheng Huangtong blasted through the demon dragon's body with one shot, clearing its health bar.

A ninth-tier Lord-level boss was taken care of like this.

The Gong Huang Guild members, who watched the entire scene in the hot blast of the explosion, had smiles on their faces, a sense of numbness from seeing this often.

"It's over just like that?"

"The Guild Leader and God Jiang are too exaggerated."

"Two freaks..."

"I thought that boss would struggle a bit. This was the Tyrannosaurus Rex of Destruction that once gave us a lot of trouble, and it's even mutated..."

"We're not needed at all. Rather, if we went up, we'd just drag them down."

"Is God Jiang really only eighteen years old? His combat experience is even better than my eighty-year-old great-grandfather's."

"Another day of winning by lying down..."

Unbeknownst to them, their address for Jiang Yuan had already changed to God Jiang.

[Ding! Your level has increased...]

[Ding! Your level has increased...]

The white light of leveling up constantly shone on Shingu Yu and Ye, and their levels increased rapidly.

In order to save time.

Jiang Yuan gave up his previous plan of honing Shingu Yu and Ye's combat experience. The Abyss monsters that appeared along the way were instantly annihilated by him and Zheng Huangtong with overwhelming power, not a single one could last for three minutes.

By the time they annihilated the Tyrannosaurus Rex of Destruction, Shingu Yu and Ye had reached LV57 and LV59, only one step away from becoming seventh-tier Prefecture Lords.

The result of rapid level increase had pros and cons. The good thing was rapid growth in strength, the bad thing was that the experience bar easily got stuck at 99%, making the barrier between major Realms difficult to cross.

[Ding! You obtained Destruction Core] (Epic material)

[Ding! You obtained equipment - Tyrant's Cloak (Epic)]

[Tyrant's Cloak]: Defense +800, Movement Speed +400, Mental Resistance +50. After equipping, you can gain a small portable barrier that repels external attacks and various elemental damage.

"I'll take this one, this one is for you."

Jiang Yuan picked up the Destruction Core and threw the more valuable Tyrant's Cloak to Zheng Huangtong.

Zheng Huangtong didn't stand on ceremony, accepted it, and pointed to a mechanical fortress towering into the clouds ahead, saying, "That's the entrance to the Secret Realm."

Jiang Yuan looked over, his eyes flickering slightly as he said, "It seems someone is already there."

"It should just be a Hunter team that stumbled here by chance. Without the key to the Secret Realm, they can't get in," Zheng Huangtong said.

In any case, it's better to go take a look first.

...

A team of five, three women and two men, sat below the steel fortress.

Among them, a young girl with elf ears, wearing slightly loose clothes, sighed while holding her face.

"Ah... Abyss anomaly, how could this happen? How can I be so unlucky? Separated from everyone else, can we still get out alive?"

"Qing Ya..."

A slightly older, gentle woman with a bit of a young wife's demeanor said with concern, "No matter what happens, big sister will protect you."

"Hmph, I don't need your protection," the elf-eared girl said rebelliously.

Hearing this, the young wife-like woman showed a sad and wronged expression, looking pitiful.

Another female Swordsman wearing golden armor, with a slender sharp sword hanging from her waist, and a helmet that couldn't hide her curvaceous figure, remained completely silent, cold, quiet, and calm.

"Qing Ya, don't always go against your big sister, everyone is a companion... *hic*. Don't worry, I can definitely take you out. After all, I'm a great Swordsman... *hic*."

The Wine-Loving Man with long hair tied behind his head, who was drunk, said while drinking, "And you, kid, didn't you say there's a Secret Realm here? Where is it? If you hadn't said there was a way to open the Secret Realm, I wouldn't have risked rescuing you from the Mechanical Demon Insect swarm."

The young man, who was holding a lamp and fumbling on the steel fortress with a mechanical tool, quickly said upon hearing this, "I, I'm looking for it, right away."

"Hmph, if you dare to lie to us, you're dead."

The young man quickly agreed, his subservient appearance showing not a trace of a Hunter's demeanor.

The young man fumbled for a while longer, and a look of joy appeared on his face as he found the entrance.

A few people cast their gazes.

But when he placed the tool there, the display showed:

[Opening Failed]

"H-how could this happen..." The young man was in disbelief.

"Useless trash!"

The elf-eared woman cursed angrily, casually picking up a piece of steel shard and throwing it at the young man.

"I am the eldest young lady of the Qing Family, one of the Ten Great Families of the Imperial Capital! If I die here because of your mistake, not only you, but everyone related to you will die! Do you understand?!"

Suddenly, the Golden-Armored Female Swordsman seemed to sense something, turned her head to look somewhere, placed her hand on the sword hilt, and blocked in front of the two sisters of the Qing Family.

The gentle young wife-like woman looked nervous: "Is it a monster?"

"No."

The Golden-Armored Female Swordsman said, her voice cold, yet carrying deep solemnity.

The Wine-Loving Man and the cowardly young man also looked over.

In their line of sight.

The space there warped for an instant, and then two figures came into view.

A silver-haired woman carrying a silver rifle, wrapped in a cloak, and wearing long boots, and a handsome young man in black clothes with a saber.
