I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

After witnessing the three Shadow Ships with his own eyes, Yan Shan made a plan.

The technology of these three Shadows doesn't seem to be very advanced, although it is certainly not as advanced as the mainstream fighter jets currently equipped by various countries. However, it is an undeniable fact that they cannot detect their own side.

China has been reverse engineering aircraft of similar level to these three aircraft for more than a decade, investing countless sums of money.

The day when a super aircraft created by humankind is developed seems to be not far off.

But this is only theoretical data.

Even with the emergence of Crystal Core New Energy, which solved the most difficult problem—the energy issue—it will still take at least seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, to fully recover.

Yan Shan's attitude was that although these three Shadowwings no longer had much research value, it would be quite good to salvage them to replenish the stockpile of combat power.

In conclusion, obtaining the three Shadows is not a must; just do your best.

After making up his mind, Yan Shan found another person on the monitor that he expected.

—The Netherworld.

This forced Yan Shan to make some changes to his plans.

[Let's leave the task of seizing it to Mu Mu and the others. This Youming must die!]

A ninth-tier expert who has been robbed of everything except his life will inevitably act without restraint.

Yan Shan didn't want a crazed ninth-tier expert to be eyeing China with predatory intent, ready to launch a fatal attack from the shadows.

So he sent a new order to Yan Ziming, who had not yet started the battle—once the three Shadows arrived there, immediately begin the assault!

And there was only one thing he needed to do—kill Youming!

When he received the report from the Himalayas, he ordered an extermination campaign.

"Begin the battle! Commence the attack according to the plan!"

The hatches of the White Bird-class aircraft opened, dropping high explosives one after another—unfortunately, these aircraft's own attack systems were out of ammunition, so they could only load their own explosives to create some chaos for the troops below.

Boom boom boom

Small mushroom clouds shot into the sky, causing the ground below to shake violently, although a significant portion of them detonated prematurely in mid-air.

They seemed to have been crushed by an unseen hand, triggering the fuse without warning and failing to fulfill their duty of killing the enemy.

"Youming." Yan Shan coldly uttered his name before leaping out of the hatch.

boom--! ! !

Like a meteorite crashing to the ground, a deep and deafening roar erupted, instantly killing some of the weaker individuals!

A figure, no more than 1.8 meters tall, appeared and disappeared amidst the gray smoke and rubble, his eyes gleaming with a yellowish-brown light, his aura as unfathomable as the ocean, the mountains, and the starry sky.

"Youming... I've come to kill you."

Chapter 96 You can kill me instantly?

"Yanshan....."

Youming also spoke with a cold expression, staring coldly at Yan Shan.

Enemies are bound to be furious when they meet, especially since he had almost died in Yan Shan's sneak attack.

Logically, since both sides are at the ninth rank, a fight to the death would only result in mutual destruction, unless...

One side possesses overwhelming power!

In Youming's previous understanding of Yanshan, Yanshan had not reached this level, but was only close. It wouldn't be so easy for him to kill him.

Generally speaking, a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator is almost certain to lose to a Void Spirit Realm cultivator; there's not much to say about that.

If it's a Gathering Spirit Realm cultivator facing off against a Void Spirit Realm cultivator, then the gap isn't that big, and it's not so easy to determine a winner.

The Netherworld is the realm of gathering spirits.

His pure mental abilities are extremely powerful, not much weaker than spatial abilities. Given time, he is very likely to advance to the Void Realm and become one of the world's top powerhouses.

The time on the deserted island was only because Yan Shan ambushed him, leaving him with serious injuries.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have retreated so decisively back then.

His strength gave him the confidence to challenge Yan Shan, but he is definitely no match for Yan Shan at the moment.

As many of my troops as possible escape, let them escape.

The two enemies met, but instead of fighting immediately, they began a strange 'reminiscing'.

Yan Shan's side has not yet appeared, as they are still in the air in optical stealth mode on the White Bird-class aircraft.

However, following orders, they had already quietly dispersed to designated locations along with the troops from the South Guangdong region (Sichuan mainly focuses on the Himalayas), completely surrounding the personnel of this branch.

"Well, you've come looking for us, not us!"

Behind Youming, the sea of ​​consciousness surged and churned, and a terrifying will swept across the entire area. Everyone's mind went blank for a moment, and this powerful strength was truly awe-inspiring.

"Heh... Even the guilty party shouldn't accuse others first like this, twisting the truth like this. Didn't your people come knocking on our door early this morning? They almost caused us irreparable damage!"

Yan Shan said leisurely, his aura growing stronger and stronger, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky, and his mountain-like aura covering all directions.

Almost...?

Youming frowned. If they were talking about the same thing, it must be the incident of Cangming leading the raid on Siberia.

Looks like it failed again. I don't know what's wrong with Youming. Lately, he's been doing terribly wrong at everything. He just lost first place for nothing. He's so sad.

And that's exactly what he said: "Things haven't been going well lately!"

"It's not that you're unhappy, it's just that your appetite is too big and you can't digest it, so you've made a move against a force you can't afford to offend!"

Yan Shan retorted with a cold laugh.

"I must commend you for this. You were just a hair's breadth away from succeeding, which serves as a reminder to us."

Yan Shan paused for a moment, his face turning extremely ferocious: "The younger generation has been bullied, so naturally I will get revenge. Now, you can all die."

For a brief moment, the world fell silent. A yellowish-brown light filled an area spanning thousands of meters, and the terrifying pressure caused the earth to collapse, with large cracks spreading out for hundreds or even thousands of meters.

People around them fled frantically as if their lives depended on it. Damn it, when gods fight, mortals suffer. If they got this close, they would definitely be reduced to ashes.

Just as they were wondering if Youming had died from this attack, something changed.

A will that seemed capable of forcing heaven and earth to submit overflowed from thousands of miles away, tearing open the earthen-yellow light with hundreds of cracks, and Youming was sent flying backward in a somewhat disheveled state.

—This old monster is definitely stronger than before!

Youming's eyes widened in horror, his right eyelid twitching wildly, indicating that the situation was dire, extremely dire!

He naturally knew about the divine battle in the Seventh District, but only that more than ten ninth-rank beings had subdued a sequence-level mutated species. He was unaware of many of the inside details.

He could never have guessed that the main fighting force in that battle was Yan Shan, who was practically going head-to-head with the Mirage Dragon.

If Youming knew, he would definitely pack his bags and leave immediately. Let his subordinates die if they want!

On the other side, Yan Shan pressed his advantage and unleashed a punch from afar, creating towering waves in the spiritual sea in front of You Ming. The force of the punch was continuously broken down within it, eventually returning to nothingness.

Don't misunderstand the concept of sequence level.

The difference between the ninth rank and the sequence level is only in physical attributes; Yan Shan's control over his superpowers is still within the ninth rank range.

"Old man, do you really think you can kill me?!" Youming shouted coldly.

Perhaps he himself didn't realize that his voice carried a hint of fear, subtle but present.

The sequence-level physical attributes also brought improvements to Yan Shan in other aspects. At least in Youming's perception, his punches were more domineering, almost breaking through his defenses with a single blow.

This is the difference in strength.

Yan Shan glanced around at the surrounding area; those two attacks had almost affected his own people.

"Back up two kilometers, quickly," he whispered the order.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat—!!!"

Youming was also shouting, his mental fluctuations sweeping around. In the process, he did not realize that his troops had been surrounded by an unseen enemy.

He knew that Yan Shan would not have come alone, after all, the explosives just now were not something a strong person of Yan Shan's caliber would do.

However, the source of this explosive...

Youming suddenly awoke with a start, realizing a possibility, but it was too late; the screams of his subordinates echoed all around.

Overwhelmed by Yan Shan's imposing presence, You Ming only dared to glance around out of the corner of his eye, discovering that the area was filled with the glow of supernatural powers, indicating that a fierce battle had already broken out.

He saw no fewer than twenty light realms.

The other side has deployed its elite forces; they're determined to wipe them out!

Over there in the Himalayas... Mu Mu!

Youming's heart sank. Although the Himalayas were his main base, he wasn't there. Those armies from all walks of life would only face utter defeat when facing a ninth-tier expert.

Most importantly... the divine being is right there!!!

With the deity there, there was naturally nothing to worry about. Even if Mu Mu came, he would die. What he was truly worried about was the deity's opinion of him.

The Netherworld's gaze suddenly turned incredibly gloomy, and towering waves surged within its spiritual sea, causing all things to rise and fall, its terrifying will seemingly capable of obliterating everything in time.

[As expected of a pure mental ability user, their application of willpower is probably even more profound than mine! Their strength is only slightly lower than mine...]
