The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

A level 67 believer was subdued and forced to kowtow on the ground.

Xu Chong's eyes widened, a look of utter disbelief on his face.

No, that's not right, is it?

Why are all these summoned beasts faster than him in terms of reaction speed?

Although agility and mental strength are indeed his weaknesses.

But that's a whopping 3,000 points!

How could I possibly be slower than them?!

It should be that they all activated all their burst amplification abilities, while he didn't?

Xu Chong could only explain it this way in his heart.

After all, he is a level 70 hidden class, so his attributes should not be inferior to those of Lu Yuan and other level 61 summoned beasts.

The difference is not just level 9, but also a whole year of accumulated experience!

The gap is enormous and insurmountable!

But then he saw something shocking and immediately warned, "Watch out!"

The bloodied cultist was instead fueled by rage, a cruel glint in his eyes, his hand instantly twisting into the shape of a pistol.

"Kid, times have changed..."

Before he could finish speaking or even before a gunshot rang out, he was already enveloped by a terrifying, invisible gaze.

The next second, his mind collapsed, his wide eyes filled with terror, and he instantly lost his life.

"Sorry, times haven't changed." Lu Yuan remained calm throughout, not even glancing at the shop assistant who had suddenly become a victim of the incident.

Its leisurely atmosphere perfectly matches the name of this coffee shop.

Chen Shuling dropped the small cup she was holding, spilling strong coffee all over the floor. Across from her, the law enforcement officer, who was pretending to be her blind date, was also stunned.

Seconds, it's over in seconds?

Only one person died?

Chen Shuling reacted quickly; a ring on her finger flashed, and many law enforcement officers' weapons appeared on the table. She picked up hers and immediately shouted.

"Cultists of this evil god, you are all surrounded. Surrender and we'll treat you leniently!"

Her gaze was fixed on the shop owner behind the counter, who was still methodically wiping the cups, her mind tense.

Even though the power aura of the level 70 hidden class was concealed, it still exerted immense pressure on her.

Especially now, with the other side completely trapped in their inescapable net, they show no sign of panic whatsoever!

Is it an act? Or...?

She gritted her teeth and quickly used a special machine to attach the incorrect part.

The law enforcement officers who acquired the equipment all revealed their auras, and none of them were below level 60!

People passing by outside the store seemed to transform in an instant, pulling out various hidden weapons and pointing them at the cultists inside.

In an instant, the entire coffee shop was packed with people.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the store manager remained calm and hung the last cleaned cup on the shelf.

"You've finally arrived."

Chen Shuling frowned and scolded, "Pretending."

"Heh." The shopkeeper looked at her calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You think you're the hunters, but little do you know, you've already fallen into the prey's trap."

Chen Shuling grew increasingly uneasy, and Xu Chong and the others also narrowed their eyes.

The surrounding believers, who looked terrified, were even more astonished.

"Guide, what are you saying?"

"Aren't we the ones who are exposed? Aren't we the ones in danger?"

The shop assistant swallowed hard.

Clearly, even they don't know what's going on!

Without explanation, the store manager's smile grew even more arrogant, and the lines rising from beneath his feet emitted intense spatial fluctuations.

The counter vibrated, so the cups clattered together.

"Now is the time for the hunter and the prey to switch roles."

Law enforcement officers, and you so-called top geniuses.

Despair, all of you... Wail! Witness your deaths!! Hahahahahaha!!!

Amidst the maniacal laughter, the powerful impact of the space-shattering attack swept outwards, sending the law enforcement officers flying, shattering the glass of the entire coffee shop, and causing the walls to collapse!

Boom! Amidst the shattering of everything, Xu Chong remained unmoved, while Lu Yuan, who was in front of him, was enduring an even stronger impact.

When Xu Chong saw a dozen or so cultists of level 70 or above slowly emerge from a row of dark passages, his heart skipped a beat.

These followers, dressed in blue robes, all appeared to be over forty years old. Their strength, accumulated over many years, was far beyond that of younger followers!

Even with a perfect professional skill, he might not be able to handle it.

The one in the middle, in particular, has reached level 76!

This is definitely not something he can handle.

Chen Shuling's eyes widened in utter shock. "A spatial array? How is this possible?!"

A formation involving spatial power cannot be set up without consuming a large amount of materials and several days.

How could anyone possibly do what he did, setting things up so silently and with almost no activation time?!

"This will not be the last time. Eternal light will shine throughout the world. Those who witness it will either follow or die."

The store manager regained his gentle demeanor.

Xu Chong stood solemnly in front of Lu Yuan. "You go, I'll cover your retreat."

The man in the Tianhe Province store gasped, "Brother, you're going to die..."

"What nonsense! I'm a level two student. Even if I can't beat them, I can still hold my own!" Xu Chong grinned at him. "After all, this is still our home turf. Do you really think we can let a bunch of rats get cocky?"

"Three minutes! Just three minutes! A powerful expert in this field will definitely receive the message and come to our rescue!"

"But three minutes is enough for us to kill you all." The shopkeeper drew his sword, "and then walked away gracefully."

Boom! The ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered, and he collided with Xu Chong.

A powerful impact exploded from the point of contact between the two knives, shattering the surrounding area for several meters.

At the same time, a blue-robed cultist shot forward at such a speed that Xu Chong didn't even have time to react.

This is... decades of accumulation, which is incomparable to his mere year or so, even though he is also a top genius!

Boom! Xu Chong was sent flying backward, crashing into the street where countless law enforcement officers were standing, creating a crater several meters in radius.

Chen Shuling's pupils contracted. She saw a figure flash in front of her, and then, like a cannonball, she slammed into Xu Chong's side with a thud, instantly losing consciousness.

roadside.

If even Captain Chen couldn't withstand a single blow, then they would be doomed if they went in...

Countless law enforcement officers felt a chill run down their spines, as if their feet were stuck in a swamp, making it impossible to move an inch.

"Tsk, you're still sitting there, kid?"

At this moment, only Lu Yuan, his summoned beast, and a group of hostile cultists remained in the coffee shop.

The blue-robed cultist grinned maliciously. "Are you not afraid? Or are you too scared to move?"

No matter which one it is, I'll make sure you're the first to die, and you suffer the most gruesome death.

He pressed his fingers, making a clicking sound, which looked extremely cruel.

Just as he flashed again, about to dislocate Lu Yuan's arm with a single strike, just like he had dealt with Chen Shuling, before anyone could react.

His fingers, covered in black and red armor, pressed down on his knife.

That's right, just press it! The blade's edge couldn't cause it any damage at all.

The black and red horse girl, who had almost instantly completed her second-stage transformation, looked coldly at the blue-robed cultist.

"You just said you wanted the king to die a horrible death?"

Her hand slowly unleashed terrifying lightning, which violently shattered the battle blade.

The sound of the small fragments falling to the ground froze the cruel expression on the believer's face.

He swallowed hard, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This is a six-star item...

It was just...crushed like that??
