Who said this card is outrageous?

The next second, it exploded!

The explosion rang out again, but this time, although it didn't seem as loud as the previous bomb, the results were on a completely different level.

The flames gradually subsided, and the violent energy began to calm down.

Before the incredulous eyes of everyone present, the heavily armored knight, who was as indestructible as a mountain, was completely powerless to resist, his body melting away inch by inch.

In a mere instant, the massive knight's body vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a strange card that shimmered with a faint shadowy glow and slowly rotated in the air.

On the back of the card, a powerful and ancient-looking character "影" (shadow) stands out.

Many people were completely stunned, their minds blank, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

However, Zhang Che didn't care about any of that. He went straight to the Shadow Scroll and put it away in front of everyone.

【Flaming Dragon Seal】is a special skill inherent to the Flaming Dragon Armor, similar to 【Waterfall】of the Black Rhino Armor. It can bypass the normal process and directly seal the enemy into a shadow, and has a stronger sealing power.

The resulting image cannot be used as material for "demon refining," but it can be restored to its original state after the seal is broken.

I can only say that they each have their own characteristics.

This operation stunned everyone present. A fourth-tier purple card, equivalent to the combat power of a fifth-tier superhuman, was so easily snatched from its original owner?!

After a brief silence, Jiang Chen on the other side went completely mad. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was contorted with rage, and he could no longer maintain the composure and calmness of a spoiled young master.

He roared and charged madly at Zhang Che, disregarding everything: "Give it back to me, give me back my cards!!"

It's true that the Jiang family is powerful, but he is, after all, just a third-generation young master, and the resources he can obtain on a daily basis are limited.

This fourth-tier purple card was acquired at great expense by the family. If it is lost like this, even if his mother continues to protect him, it will not make up for such a huge loss!

But just as he lunged forward, Zhang Che reached out and grabbed him by the back of his collar with perfect precision.

Then, with a gentle tug, the person was frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

"You should be glad there are so many people watching, otherwise I would definitely make you regret ever being born." Zhang Che's voice rang in Jiang Chen's ears, and the coldness in it made the latter dare not struggle any longer.

This isn't just idle talk; if there weren't other people present, he genuinely wouldn't recommend letting the other party pay with their life.

In exchange for the other party's life, I will temporarily keep the card.

After saying that, Zhang Che punched Jiang Chen, sending him flying. Jiang Chen flew more than twenty meters through the air like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Consider this interest."

After leaving those words behind, Zhang Che made a quick exit, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Everything just happened so fast, it was beyond their comprehension.

Not far away, Su Muxue and the others who came out of the volcano one after another had watched the whole show from a distance, but they were constantly relieved that they had not had a direct confrontation with the other party.

"Heh, offending the young master of the Jiang family, that guy's going to have a hard time." The middle-aged man said with a hint of schadenfreude, clearly very happy to see the guy who had embarrassed him suffer.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Su Muxue suddenly interjected, her gaze fixed on the direction Zhang Che had left in.

The middle-aged man clearly didn't believe it and continued to argue that the old man of the Jiang family was a seventh-level superior extraordinary being. Given how protective he was of his own, how could he easily let go of that guy in armor?

Su Muxue didn't speak, but only glanced at the other party indifferently before turning around and leading her team away from this place of trouble.

She was initially unsure, but after hearing the armored man's voice accidentally revealed in anger, she was now fairly certain of his identity.

If it really is him, then the old man from the Jiang family alone might not be able to get "justice" for his grandson.

Chapter 262 Convergence

The abundant fire-attribute extraordinary energy in this subspace made every bit of mental energy Zhang Che consumed while using the Flame Dragon Armor extremely cost-effective. After all that fuss, he still had more than half of the mental energy remaining in his mind-carving anchor.

It should be noted that the current [Flame Dragon Armor] is a genuine Tier 4 purple card. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Che's mental strength can only be maintained for about an hour at most.

The mental energy that the engraving anchor can hold is even lower than this, and theoretically the time it can hold is even shorter.

However, in reality, at least six or seven hours had passed since Zhang Che summoned the Flame Dragon Armor to defeat the fifth-tier lizardman, waited for the two extraordinary spiritual plants to mature, and finally taught that fool Fu who tried to ambush him a lesson.

All I can say is that this Five Elements Armor is indeed something special.

Without wasting too much time, Zhang Che, clad in armor, finally arrived at the temporary rendezvous point his team had previously set up, a secluded cave nestled in a small mountain.

It was also one of the very few places in this subspace filled with fire-attribute supernatural energy that could provide some shade. They discovered it by chance when they were exploring this subspace.

The people in charge of the rescue were Fu Xing and Agumon. Although it was the first time they had seen the Flame Dragon Armor, they quickly determined, based on its similar design to the Black Rhino Armor, that the person inside the armor should be Zhang Che.

"Big brother!"

Fu Xing quickly stepped forward, with Agumon close behind.

Seeing this, Zhang Che also dispelled his armor and walked over to meet up with Fu Xing, teasing him, "Alright, now that you've confirmed it's me, hurry up and put away the cards in your hand."

"Hehe, you're joking, big brother." Fu Xing awkwardly put away the [Tyrannosaurus Beast].

Having absorbed the dragon-type data released after the death of the fourth-tier lizardman, Agumon has accumulated enough data to evolve into Greymon, and the rest will naturally follow.

However, perhaps because the card was originally in Agumon form, even though the card itself has evolved into another card, it can still transform into Agumon form.

This was Zhang Che's initial conclusion after listening to Fu Xing's account and conducting some research on Agumon.

“However, it’s just that the appearance hasn’t changed…” As he spoke, Zhang Che even reached out and personally tested Agumon’s strength. “In fact, in this form, it is still a genuine Tier 3 purple card.”

However, since things have changed, the fighting power that Agumon can unleash in its form is relatively limited. To truly unleash its full power, it still needs to transform into Greymon.

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the place where everyone was hiding.

After the fierce battle, apart from Fu Xing and Ruan Ruoshi, the others were not in good condition. Song Ruolan forcibly released a forbidden move, which severely depleted her mental energy. She is currently meditating and adjusting her breathing with her eyes closed.

Pan Tingting was in even worse condition. She had forcibly summoned the fourth-tier blue card-level [Black Feather - Lonely Silver Wind] with her peak third-tier mental strength. She was already lucky to be able to stay here unscathed.

Even after using a special medicine that could alleviate mental damage, she was still feeling unwell, leaning against Li Yao and groaning.

Helpless, Zhang Che could only summon Ahri to see if she could alleviate the situation. After checking Pan Tingting's condition, the little fox's face was almost scrunched up like a bun.

In the end, she could only say that she would try her best, but whether it would work or not was another matter.

"Master, this girl is too reckless. How can she always overdraw her mental energy so much? I don't want someone like her to be the mistress of the house." Ah Li's complaints entered Zhang Che's mind through the mental link between the two.

"You're such a busybody, get to work!" Zhang Che rolled his eyes helplessly, then turned around and saw Ruan Ruoshi and a familiar figure next to her.

Lin Lei? She's still alive?

Her current condition is clearly not good. A dignified mid-level superhuman is not only tied up but also being stared at by the Squid King, looking like a prisoner.

This is also to prevent her from engaging in suicidal behavior.

However, this was their own doing, so they can't blame anyone else.

Zhang Che's feet involuntarily led him in that direction, and Ruan Ruoshi quickly stood up when she saw him.

This action also revealed Zhou Jingyao's corpse, which had been lying on the ground unnoticed by Zhang Che.

"Did you bring these two back?" Zhang Che glanced curiously at the dead and the living, then turned his attention to Ruan Ruoshi.

“Hmm.” Ruan Ruoshi nodded, then explained, “The security team has a rule that they must see the person alive or dead. Since these two are from the Eye of Truth, we can’t let this matter pass by in a muddled way.”

"Moreover, the number of people in the team that entered the rift this time was limited. The sudden disappearance of two mid-level transcendents will definitely lead to an investigation from above. Therefore, we must take the initiative to prove our innocence."

When talking about her strengths, Ruan Ruoshi was no longer the taciturn person she usually was; instead, she became quite talkative.

In short, now that they have killed two villains from the Eye of Truth who tried to ambush them, they must make their actions public and deserve all the credit!

This caught Zhang Che's eye, and he thought to himself that he was indeed worthy of being a person from the Public Security Bureau.

Moreover, don't forget that Ruan Ruoshi's main task in coming to the provincial capital this time was to study in the public security system. Coupled with her existing foundation, her professional skills have naturally been greatly improved.

Seemingly sensing Zhang Che's overly direct gaze, Ruan Ruoshi's ability to speak suddenly faltered, and she reverted to her previous quiet demeanor.

Fortunately, he had already said what he needed to say. After praising her, Zhang Che turned around to look at Song Ruolan, who had just finished a meditation session.

"Zhang Che, you're back."

Song Ruolan's face showed some undeniable weakness, but fortunately, she herself was not in any serious condition; it was simply a matter of excessive mental exertion. She should be fine after a few days of rest once she got out.

"Yes." Zhang Che nodded solemnly.

This exploration mission was fraught with too many unexpected events. If our team hadn't been so capable, we would most likely have suffered casualties just from the ambush set up by Zhou Jingyao and his team.

Not to mention the fifth-tier lizardman that appeared later; it was only thanks to Song Ruolan's preemptive strike that it was severely injured that she was able to defeat it so easily.

"Did you get the items?" Song Ruolan was more concerned about something else right now.

"Don't worry about me handling things." With that, Zhang Che took out two spiritual plants from his [Magic Pocket], and a surge of fire elemental energy instantly filled the entire cave.

Chapter 263 Mission Settlement

"Alright, alright, hurry up and put your things away. We finally found a cool place!" Song Ruolan made a sharp, loud noise, which startled Zhang Che, who quickly did as she said.

Even so, the remaining fire-attribute extraordinary energy inevitably raised the temperature in the cave by a few degrees, and Zhang Che naturally received glares from everyone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Zhang Che quickly apologized, barely managing to smooth things over.

He then briefly recounted the entire process of obtaining the two spiritual plants, and of course, he didn't forget to mention Jiang Chen, unsurprisingly gaining the support of all his teammates.

Despite his support, Fu Xing still expressed that given Zhang Che's personality, he would definitely not let the matter of Zhang Che stealing his cards go unresolved. Furthermore, with the two spiritual plants involved, they might face some people targeting them after the mission was completed.

"So, who exactly is this guy named Jiang Chen, that he dares to be so flamboyant in this operation?"

As soon as Fu Xing finished speaking, Zhang Che and the others all turned their attention to Li Yao, who was taking care of Pan Tingting.

As the team's intelligence-gathering specialist, it's time for her to demonstrate her value.

Li Yao did not disappoint, immediately revealing all the information she knew: Jiang Chen, the eldest son of the second branch of the Jiang family in Qi'an City...

This young master was always very high-profile in the city, so even without specifically gathering information, Li Yao still managed to tell him quite a bit about himself.

However, the two most important points are: firstly, the patriarch of the Jiang family is a seventh-level high-ranking extraordinary being, and he happens to be in charge of overseeing things in the city during this period.

In addition, Jiang Chen's mother dotes on him very much, and it seems that she also comes from a powerful family with high-ranking extraordinary beings. However, that family is not located in the Southeast Province, so the specific effect it can have is yet to be determined.

"Tch, so that's all there is to it." Fu Xing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing all the information. "It's just a high-level transcendent being, like everyone else has one."

His maternal grandfather was also a high-ranking and extraordinary person, so he was naturally qualified to say that.

I also caught a few envious glances.

Pan Tingting, in particular, understood the importance of a pillar of the family best because of the family's unexpected decline, and the envy on her face was the most obvious.

Apart from them, only Zhang Che and Song Ruolan looked relatively normal. The former had an external advantage and was confident that he would become a high-ranking extraordinary being sooner or later, or even surpass that level. Naturally, his mindset was different.
