Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

The bus driver was pale, his lips were trembling, and his bald head was soaked with sweat!

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, driving the vehicle entirely by muscle memory and subconscious instinct.

His brain could no longer provide him with much for thought.

Everyone on the bus instinctively slumped onto their seats, their eyes filled with terror, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

All the survivors were mentally impaired.

Endless fear filled everyone's mind!

Luckily, the driver started the car decisively; otherwise, everyone on the bus would have been doomed.

Even if it's just a few seconds slower, it's all over...

Just look at those cars not far behind you and you'll know.

Holy crap, they almost got killed by a dog!

The master's kick created a way out for everyone.

The vehicle continued to speed along.

Those who escaped unscathed were unable to find peace of mind for a long time.

This scene will be etched into their hearts for a lifetime!

terrible!

What kind of earth-shattering method is this?

The world has really changed!

They've become people they don't recognize!

Or perhaps they never truly understood the world.

The bus was completely silent, with only the whooshing of the wind and the noise of the tires remaining.

Everyone was immersed in a world in shock.

......

The girl at the foot of the mountain, who was live-streaming, watched the entire scene with bated breath.

When the giant energy handprint appeared in the sky above the parking lot, she immediately pointed her live stream camera at it!

They were truly dedicated and responsible, deserving of the gifts that flooded social media!

Of course, that also exhausted her last bit of courage.

The black dragon's claw strike in the void was a world-destroying blow, and she recorded it in its entirety!

The devastating shockwave spread, and the last shot of the live stream lingered on the horrific scene in front of the parking lot.

Then a blast wave hit, causing the live stream to spin and the signal to be cut off!

Before people could even voice their shock, the live stream automatically switched to the next one.

Millions of viewers in the live stream were getting impatient, but at the crucial moment, the live stream cut out.

This is...

Some people even smashed their phones on the spot.

The Dongyue incident has become a hot topic, with all sorts of discussions surrounding it!

Millions of people had nowhere to vent their emotions, so they could only find topics to discuss.

Some people care about the lives of the tourists at the scene, but many more care about the impact of the incident.

Extraordinary powers objectively exist and have already begun to affect the personal safety of ordinary people!

Shouldn't someone step forward and give a proper explanation?

Stop trying to fool them with special effects!

The desire for stability is understandable, but ordinary people also have the right to know the truth.

That one claw strike—what terrifying power!

This time, hundreds or even thousands of people were injured or killed. What about next time?

How should ordinary people conduct themselves in the future?

And can humans control this thing?

If it can't be controlled, wouldn't it become a ticking time bomb hanging over everyone's head?

......

While online opinions were in an uproar, a lone figure on the summit of Mount Dongyue faced the lingering danger.

Ye Chen's heart sank as he looked at the scene at the foot of the mountain.

"Are you ever going to stop? Who sealed you? Go find them! Why are you taking your anger out on ordinary people?" Ye Chen's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

That was anger!

Ye Chen slashed his sword towards the dark clouds above!

A streak of sword energy stretched across the sky and disappeared into the dark clouds.

A passage was cut directly through the thick, dark clouds.

However, the surrounding dark clouds surged in again, and the thick clouds returned to their original state!

Ye Chen unleashed several more sword strikes in quick succession, displaying astonishing momentum as he vented his anger.

However, just as the Black Dragon could not attack Ye Chen, Ye Chen could not attack the Black Dragon either.

Even Ye Chen wasn't sure if he could hurt the black dragon even if he managed to attack it.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, but not a single hair of the black dragon fell!

Ye Chen was also struck by lightning twice more due to the attack's pre-attack animation, leaving him somewhat disheveled.

Ye Chen was certain that the black dragon's strength was definitely above his own!

At least he's definitely reached the Nascent Soul stage!

This was when it had just broken free of its seal and was far weaker than before.

How powerful would it be at its peak?

Ye Chen could hardly believe it!

He considered all his trump cards, and the Sword of Life and the Bagua Mirror were his most lethal.

It might pose a fatal threat to the Black Dragon, but only if we can ensure a successful strike.

No matter how strong the attack, it's useless if you can't succeed.

If the attack fails, the black dragon will become even more vigilant, making it even less likely that it will succeed in the future.

Long-range attacks are manageable against opponents weaker than him.

However, it would be futile against opponents whose cultivation level far surpassed his.

Ye Chen's attack would be detected the moment he made it.

By the time the flying sword reached the black dragon, it had already reacted.

Dodging Ye Chen's attacks is a piece of cake, unless you're out of your mind.

If the attack doesn't land on the black dragon, it's useless.

Therefore, the current distance between the two sides is somewhat delicate.

It's a distance where neither side can effectively attack the other.

As for other spells, Ye Chen knew his own limitations; ninety-nine percent of them wouldn't be able to harm the black dragon!

Should I unleash a powerful Thunder Strike on the Black Dragon?

They specialize in using lightning, so they're most likely immune to lightning!

That's just a waste of spiritual energy.

Just like when Ye Chen was struck by lightning, all he got was torn clothes.

It's rather indecent, but otherwise harmless.

Of course, Ye Chen also has the Mountain and River Cauldron, which should be somewhat effective against the Black Dragon. He could take out the Mountain and River Cauldron and use it to attack it.

This thing has the function of suppressing and eliminating evil, but it needs to be charged up.

And how powerful exactly? Ye Chen hasn't tested it yet.

Even if you use the Mountain and River Cauldron to strike it, you still need to engage in close combat.

Black Dragon wouldn't be foolish enough to let him suppress him; by the time the Mountain and River Cauldron falls, they'll have already run away.

Therefore, Ye Chen didn't have many fighting methods left.

Or rather, there aren't many combat methods left for their level.

The higher their cultivation level, the less effective fancy tricks are against them!

Ye Chen analyzed the situation in a flash.

The conclusion is that if he wants to completely kill the black dragon, only close combat will give him a chance.

Otherwise, it's just a pure contest of spiritual energy consumption!

Whether it's the Sword of Life or the Bagua Mirror, Ye Chen's chances of success are greater if he attacks at close range.

However, problems arise with close combat.

The black dragon's defense is no weaker than his, and may even be stronger!

Ye Chen was aware of the hardness of the dragon scales.

Moreover, the Black Dragon's strength is undeniable; it's at least a whole realm higher than Ye Chen's.

Faced with an enemy whose strength and defense far surpass your own, should you engage in direct close-quarters combat to the death?

That would be a bit unwise.

Although he has a substitute puppet, which is equivalent to having two lives, you can't just play around with two lives like that.

He can hurt the black dragon, and conversely, the black dragon can hurt him.

Who knows if Black Dragon has any other tricks up his sleeve?

That black energy beam alone was enough to give him a run for his money.

Before we figure out Heilong's true strength, it's best to play it safe!

While bravery and fearlessness are certainly commendable, one must be alive to have the opportunity to contribute.

If even he gets into trouble, then there really won't be anyone who can control this black dragon.
