Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Not far away...

Bai Chuyi was sitting in the pavilion, taking small bites of the custard buns she had brought with her.

She took out her phone and habitually opened her chat history with Yang Xian.

"Oh right, Da Yang said he went out of town today and can't reply to my messages..."

Suddenly, the girl remembered something and looked down at the delicate red knot on her wrist.

Da Yang once said that I only need to speak to this.

He will then be able to hear Xiaobai's voice.

Bai Chuyi slowly approached the "Knot of Love":

"Da Yang, did you eat well today?"

------

at the same time……

The truck was bumping along in the wilderness outside the city.

[Da Yang, did you eat well today?]

A soft, familiar voice suddenly rang in Yang Xian's mind.

Yang Xian was slightly taken aback.

noob?

He looked down at the "love knot" on his wrist and silently replied to it.

"Of course, Xiaobai should eat well too!"

After doing all this, Yang Xian saw another group of people leaving.

Now, Yang Xian is the only "outsider" left in the entire convoy.

He took out the map and glanced at it.

"According to the route, it will take about half an hour before I can get off the bus."

With nothing else to do, Yang Xian opened the system panel to check his gains for the day.

After upgrading his "Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique", he also gained a whopping 2300 emotion points from Ye Huairou for free.

The total score has now reached 7100 points.

There was nothing she could do; that woman always tried to compete with Yang Xian, but she always lost miserably.

The more unwilling she was to accept it, the more emotional points she generated, and she couldn't stop.

Yang Xian was also helpless about this.

People are scrambling to give away points, and you can't stop them!

On the truck ahead...

"Commander, something's not right today!"

"We've encountered almost three times more monsters along the way than usual!"

The deputy commander of the "sharp knife" unit complained to the unit commander.

Lei Zhi nodded solemnly: "Something is a bit off, but it's actually alright. With Senior Yang around, the journey has been relatively smooth."

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander turned his head, seemingly casually, and glanced at the truck where Yang Xian was.

He lowered his voice, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Captain, along the way, that Senior Yang has killed a lot of monsters."

"He has quite a few magic cores on him."

"We worked so hard to make the trip, and what we earned wasn't even a fraction of what he made from that bag of magic cores."

"Look, should we...?"

As he spoke, the deputy commander stretched out his rough palm and gently gestured in front of his neck.

This action speaks for itself.

The association has a rule that martial artists are not allowed to engage in private fights to the death, and those who violate this rule will be severely punished.

But when faced with enormous profits, regulations become nothing more than a piece of waste paper.

The area outside the city is not as good as the area inside.

If someone dies in the city, the association will definitely send people to investigate thoroughly.

But it's a different story outside the city; in this desolate wilderness, there isn't even a surveillance camera.

If a person dies here, their body will be quickly devoured by monsters that smell blood, leaving not even a bone fragment.

In that case, who knows whether a person will die in the mouth of a monster or under someone else's knife?

Moreover, this wasn't the first time the "Sharp Knife" detachment had engaged in such clandestine activities...

"Commander, the deputy commander is right!"

"Damn it, let's do it! This one job is worth half a year's work!"

"If you nod your head, I'll be the first to rush up!"

The other team members gathered around and all looked at their leader, Lei Zhi.

People's hearts had long been stirred by that heavy bag of magic cores.

Despite their outward appearance, they address Yang Xian as "Senior Yang" repeatedly.

In reality, the two were just strangers who met by chance.

When it's time to strike, no one will hesitate!

Shh! Keep it fucking quiet!

Lei Zhi turned around abruptly, glanced at the truck where Yang Xian was behind him, and seeing that there was no movement there, he suppressed his anger and growled in a low voice.

"Are you all desperate for money, or are you tired of living?"

"Dare to lay a hand on him?"

"Have you forgotten how those monsters died along the way?!"

Three sentences made the team members lower their heads.

In an instant, the image of the silver arcs of electricity emanating from Yang Xian's body flashed through their minds.

Especially the scene where he cleaved the purple arrow in two with a single strike, and incidentally split the Three Realms Wolf King in two.

Even now, thinking about that scene sends chills down my spine.

Upon seeing this, the deputy commander's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Commander, that guy surnamed Yang is really formidable."

"But don't forget, he hasn't stopped to adjust his breathing even once since he left the city!"

"Every move he makes is so domineering and powerful. Do you really think his internal energy is limitless?"

"Haven't you noticed? In the last two encounters with monsters, the electricity crackling around his body has noticeably dimmed compared to the beginning!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Yup!

Even if he were made of iron, the true energy within his body would still be limited!

His speed in dealing with monsters is indeed not as overwhelming as it was at the beginning!

opportunity!

Everyone's eyes lit up again.

"..."

Lei Zhi remained silent, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

The deputy commander knew the time was right, so he moved even closer.

"Moreover, I'm certain he's not some experienced veteran at all!"

"More like a...green recruit!"

Lei Zhi's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple!"

Deputy Commander's Analysis:

"Have you ever seen a veteran who's always the first to charge into battle when they encounter a monster? As if they want everyone to know how powerful they are?"

"True masters know how to conceal their strengths and conserve their energy! Sending cannon fodder to scout ahead is the norm!"

"His approach is pointless; it's all about showing off!"

"That's the kind of stupid thing only a complete novice would do!"

"Don't let his nonchalant demeanor fool you; I bet he's just putting on a brave face!"

Actually, they all misunderstood Yang Xian.

Yang Xian acted so bravely.

On the one hand, it was to maintain absolute dominance over Ye Huairou and continuously harvest emotional points from her.

On the other hand, it is to save time and complete the task as quickly as possible.

For Yang Xian, the magic core is not important; points are what matter.

The sooner I finish the mission, the sooner I can go back to Area A to be with my wife.

What if there is no more true energy in the body?

Yang Xian would have been better off spending 1000 points to replenish the system's points; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so foolish as to make such reckless moves.

Although it's a bit of a loss, this is the only way to go without a breathing technique.

"..."

Lei Zhi remained silent, but his breathing became noticeably heavier.

"Commander, don't hesitate!"

"No matter how strong he is, he's just one person! There are so many of us in the 'Sharp Knife' squad, are we afraid of just one guy?"

"His internal energy is completely depleted; he's just an empty shell now, he'd collapse at the slightest push!"

"Think about that bag of magic cores! Let's get them..."

Listening to the words of the other members, Lei Zhi's eyes changed from initial struggle to final ruthlessness.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Oh shit!"

"Let's fight the brothers!"

"Everyone, stay alert and don't give anything away!"

"Take him to our usual spot later... let's do it together!"
