Who said this card is outrageous?

Upon hearing this, everyone echoed the sentiment, their gazes involuntarily falling on Su Muxue, hoping she would be the next person to try.

However, faced with everyone's expectations and encouragement, Su Muxue's expression remained cold, and her answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation: "I can't do it."

She looked up at the churning crimson magma, her tone tinged with apprehension: "The concentration of fire-attribute energy in this subspace has exceeded the standard by several times. The violent fire pressure will forcibly suppress and interfere with the operation of all alien supernatural energies."

Not to mention the two extraordinary spiritual plants that constantly attract nearby energy to gather here.

Her movement technique relies on the extraordinary lightning energy within her body. In this kind of place, not only will the energy consumption increase, but she will also have to allocate an extra portion of her energy to resist the high temperature.

Rushing forward will only lead to the same outcome as Xie Lingyang's earlier situation.

Otherwise, how could she have been stopped by a lava river that was less than five meters wide?

You know, this distance is so small that even if it were a natural chasm outside, she could cross it in just a few seconds.

When the middle-aged man realized he couldn't fool the young girl, he had no choice but to try it himself.

Just then, the two extraordinary spiritual plants finally absorbed enough extraordinary energy and completed their final transformation.

The soaring brilliance began to subside, and their appearance began to become ordinary, reaching the opposite extreme from their previous state.

But Zhang Che didn't care about any of that. Now that the target was fully ready, he went straight forward and, braving the intense heat that could melt iron and stone, gathered the treasure along with the soil beneath it into the specially prepared space for them.

After doing all this, Zhang Che once again walked across the lava towards the location of Su Muxue and the others, which was the only exit from here.

"Wait a minute!" The middle-aged man was unwilling to let the person leave just like that, but what he got in return was a huge fist made entirely of fire-attribute energy.

[Flame Fist]!

After being promoted to a purple card, the [Flame Dragon Armor] was already equivalent to a fifth-tier transcendent. Furthermore, he had the advantage of the environment, so even a casual punch became extremely violent under the enhancement of the high concentration of fire attribute energy in the vicinity.

With a single blow, the middle-aged man was sent flying.

Now no one dared to stop him.

Chapter 260 Ungrateful

After the middle-aged man was blasted away, the scene immediately quieted down. The people who were originally standing in the direction of the exit quickly made way, afraid that if they were too slow, they would provoke this evil spirit.

Seeing this, Zhang Che didn't waste any words. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed another rumbling sound coming from Su Muxue's direction.

"What, Miss Su, would like to give it a try too?"

Zhang Che slightly turned his head, and Su Muxue saw the blue eye patch on the armor's head staring straight at her, and in the end, she chose to give up.

Although he was confident in his own abilities, the timing and circumstances were now in the opponent's favor, so his chances of winning in a real fight were too low, and he could easily provoke an enemy for no reason.

The price/performance ratio is too low.

We don't know who the other person is right now, but once we leave this subspace, their identity will eventually be revealed.

If you want to learn from each other, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there's no need to rush.

Thinking of this, the longsword, which had already been partially unsheathed, was sheathed back in.

"Looks like they don't want to anymore."

After leaving those words, Zhang Che strode away from the volcano's perimeter.

After he came out, he saw a lot of people gathered outside. Judging from the large number of third-level superhumans among them, they should be the teammates of the mid-level superhumans who had gone into the volcano earlier.

At the same time, Zhang Che's appearance attracted the attention of everyone present. After they saw who it was, a question arose in their minds: Did this guy in armor go in just now?

Only the first few people who left knew just how excessive the armor was, but remembering how disheveled the third young master of the Xie family had left, they all tacitly remained silent.

As for the final ownership of the two extraordinary spiritual plants, it originally had little to do with them. Now that they knew the answer, there was no need for them to stay here any longer.

They know their own situation best; their goal was simply to ensure their city wasn't excluded from next year's exploration quota, let alone compete for a higher ranking.

After paying their respects to Zhang Che's location, the three teams, led by their respective captains, left the area, intending to collect as much material as possible while they had the remaining time.

Zhang Che paid no attention to these things. He glanced around and, after not finding any trace of Song Ruolan and the others, breathed a slight sigh of relief. At the same time, he prepared to leave and meet at the agreed meeting point.

Before he could get very far, a rapid whooshing sound came from afar towards Zhang Che's location.

Zhang Che's expression tightened slightly, and he instinctively dodged to the side.

call out!

An oval-shaped explosive bomb, entirely crimson and covered in explosive runes, whizzed past the side of his armor.

The next second—

boom!!!

A violent explosion resounded through the heavens and the earth, and blazing flames burst forth instantly. A violent shockwave, carrying debris and dust, swept in all directions, and thick smoke instantly enveloped a large area, completely engulfing the figure of the armored figure.

As the explosion rang out, a flamboyant young man in luxurious clothes emerged from the shadows of the nearby woods, accompanied by several servants.

It's obvious that the explosion just now was related to these people.

At this point, some of the locals of Qi'an City, or those who were well-informed, had already recognized the other party's origins and began to whisper among themselves.

This man is named Jiang Chen. He is the young master of the Jiang family, one of the most powerful families in Qi'an City. Relying on the favor of his grandfather, the head of the family, he usually acts like a typical spoiled brat, arrogant and domineering, and has always been unruly among the younger generation.

In fact, ever since the first wave of spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from inside the volcano, and everyone rushed into the mountain to seize treasures, Jiang Chen chose to remain still, leading his team to hide outside and not venturing even half a step into the volcano.

He had a well-thought-out plan in mind. The competition for opportunities inside the volcano was extremely dangerous, and now that powerful figures from all walks of life had arrived, a head-on confrontation would be very unwise.

Rather than risking huge dangers to fight in the mountains, it's better to wait outside and wait for the prey to come to you.

In any case, the rules for this subspace rift exploration, as stipulated by the person in charge, never mentioned anything about prohibiting the theft of others' property.

Whoever survives the perilous journey to seize the treasure will certainly not be in good condition, making it the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack.

So when he confirmed that the guy in the strange armor was likely the one who would eventually win the treasure, he didn't hesitate to launch a sneak attack while the guy was off guard.

Amidst the billowing dust, Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a blatant and arrogant smile on his face, and loudly mocked, "Hahaha! This is a specially made Crimson Vein Bomb, crafted specifically for mid-level transcendents! Even a proper fifth-tier transcendent wouldn't be comfortable taking a hit from it."

"I'd like to see if your fancy armor can really withstand my explosive bomb!"

As he spoke, his face was full of smug satisfaction.

At this moment, one of the accompanying bodyguards quickly stepped forward, his expression showing a mixture of fear and anxiety, and whispered, "Young Master! Be careful what you say! Please don't cause a death!"

With so many people watching, if something really goes wrong and you anger the bigwig in charge of this operation, even his wife will have a hard time protecting you.

The younger brother was extremely anxious, fearing that his young master would act recklessly and cause an uncontrollable disaster.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's arrogant smile faltered slightly, then he scoffed, his face full of nonchalance: "What's the panic? I know what I'm doing."

To be able to seize the treasure from those people who just went in, he must have some skill. At most, that attack only seriously injured him. Once that person hands over the treasure, I can heal him.

With that, Jiang Chen ignored the complex and varied gazes of the onlookers, casually lifted his foot, and walked straight toward the smoke-shrouded explosion center, preparing to collect his own "spoils of war".

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the Fiery Dragon Armor stood there unharmed, its gaze fixed on the young master walking towards it, its tone icy cold, to the astonished eyes of everyone present.

The explosive bombardment that was enough to severely injure a fifth-tier transcendent was completely unscathed by him!

"Ha, they actually plan to treat me."

"Shouldn't you express your gratitude, young master?"

Zhang Che practically gritted his teeth as he uttered the last two words.

Unexpectedly, the car almost overturned at the last moment!

If the Flame Dragon Armor hadn't absorbed a large amount of fire-attribute energy from the explosion, greatly weakening its power and making it only look scary while actually causing limited damage, the explosion would have been much more devastating.

Otherwise, he might really suffer a great loss.

"How is this possible?!" Jiang Chen was obviously shocked, but before he could recover, Zhang Che's figure disappeared from the spot and flashed towards the other party.

Chapter 261 Flaming Dragon Sealing Demons

Jiang Chen was shocked to see this. His original intention to throw a few more bombs vanished instantly, and he directly revealed his trump card.

A purple alchemical array appeared in mid-air, and the last heavily armored knight stepped forward, blocking Zhang Che's attack without flinching.

"what?"

Zhang Che believed that his punch just now was thrown in anger, and that he had considered in advance what defensive measures his opponent might have, aiming to cripple him.

However, this punch was blocked by a single card from the opponent.

That's right, the purple alchemical array just now was a clear sign that the card had been activated, something Zhang Che, as a card maker, was very familiar with.

Judging from the results, this card summons a genuine Tier 4 purple card, and it's highly likely that it's a defensive-focused one.

This is getting a bit complicated.

Seeing that Zhang Che seemed somewhat helpless, Jiang Chen immediately became smug again, saying that the defensive capabilities of his purple card were enough to withstand the continuous onslaught of three fifth-tier superhumans without being defeated. No matter how powerful Zhang Che's armor was, it couldn't do anything to him!

Zhang Che had to admit that this was indeed troublesome. His [Black Rhino Armor] was in a similar position, and he knew how difficult these numerical monsters were to deal with.

If it were anyone else, they would indeed be helpless and forced into a stalemate when faced with this impenetrable defensive barrier.

But he didn't care, and had even figured out how to deal with it.

"Since that's the case, then let's use this trick to give you a lesson you'll never forget."

A thought flashed through Zhang Che's mind, and then he suddenly retreated several meters to create enough distance for casting spells.

He clasped his hands together, precisely fitting the Tai Chi armor belt around his waist, and his aura instantly underwent a dramatic transformation.

hum-

A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from his body, and he seemed to transform into an ultimate energy-devouring machine, instantly draining the fire-attribute energy within a radius of tens of meters.

A surge of heat rose between heaven and earth, and an astonishing phenomenon instantly drew the attention of everyone present.

The extraordinary individuals watching from afar were all shocked, their pupils dilating as they stared in horror at the armored figure that was absorbing the flames of heaven and earth.

Jiang Chen's expression turned somewhat serious, and a strong sense of unease arose in his heart. After all, he was just arrogant, not stupid.

Before he could make any move, the Tai Chi symbol on Zhang Che's waist suddenly lit up with a dazzling crimson-gold light!

Roar--!

A majestic and domineering dragon roar resounded through the sky!

A crimson elemental dragon, entirely constructed from pure fire energy, soared out of the Tai Chi formation, carrying the power to incinerate everything, and suddenly coiled around the heavily armored knight in front of him!

The fiery dragon tightly wrapped around the entire body of the black knight, immobilizing him and completely locking him in place.
