Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Ye Yu made a hand seal, and the temperature in the air suddenly rose, as if it were about to burst into flames.

As her incantation continued to change, several blazing pillars of fire appeared out of thin air, each as thick as a basin.

The raging firelight distorted the surrounding space.

These pillars of fire, carrying boundless heat, hurtled toward the tornado.

The pillar of fire and the tornado made contact instantly and immediately became entangled.

The tornado was like a ferocious dragon, trying to strangle everyone.

But the pillar of fire stubbornly pushed it outwards, and the two engaged in a fierce tug-of-war.

As the tornado spun, the flames grew stronger and stronger, gradually forming a spectacular 'fire-sandstorm'.

Ye Yu continuously channeled the spiritual energy within her body to maintain the intensity of the fire pillar.

At the same time, fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the level four ability user. He stared intently at the scene before him, exerting his strength to the fullest extent.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and flames burst open, forming a shock wave that spread in all directions.

This force sent everyone staggering backward, and the raging tornado vanished into nothingness, turning into countless ashes that drifted into the air.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they were finally temporarily freed from the threat of the tornado.

They admired Ye Yu even more now. Yang Ying asked Ye Yu with some excitement, "Are you also a level four ability user? And a dual-element ability user!"

Ye Yu nodded: "That should be the case." Judging from the tornado and pillar of fire just now.

Moreover, she knows all five elements of magic, so she must be proficient in more than just dual-element magic.

Yang Ying was genuinely happy. He could tell from Ye Yu's fire pillar fighting against that level four ability user that her ability was not weak, and was even stronger.

Ye Yu didn't say much to him, but handed him the box at his feet and said, "You guys take the things and go first, I'll cover the rear."

Yang Ying and the others couldn't all leave, so he said, "We'll leave some of our men behind to help you."

Ye Yu shook her head: "No need, you'll only hold me back if you stay."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Ying told Ye Yu to take care and then led the others away quickly.

As Yang Xi passed Ye Yu, she bit her lip and said, "Be careful," before striding away.

"Leave your things behind!" the Level 4 ability user roared in broken Mandarin as he saw his belongings being taken away.

At the same time, a sand wall was erected in front of Yang Ying and the others to block their way.

Ye Yu snorted coldly and threw a huge fireball at the sand wall, blasting it apart and allowing Yang Ying and the others to leave safely.

The remaining mercenaries tried to catch up, but they were all cut into pieces by the wind blades that Ye Yu threw.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Ye Yu's eyes were icy cold.

At this moment, the entire desert became empty, leaving only Ye Yu and the level four ability user.

Sweat beaded on the forehead of the Level 4 ability user, dripping down his cheeks. He said in broken Mandarin, "What's your name? We haven't found any other Level 4 ability user in China."

Ye Yu remained expressionless and replied calmly, "You are not worthy to know my name. China is a vast country with a wealth of talent. How could you possibly find out my name so easily?"

Upon hearing this, the Level 4 ability user became enraged and raised both hands abruptly.

In an instant, the sand around Ye Yu seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, rapidly coalescing.

The towering sand walls rose from the ground on all four sides, like solid cages, stretching endlessly into the sky.

At the same time, the sand beneath Ye Yu's feet began to sink at an alarming rate, as if to bury her deep in this boundless desert.

The spiritual energy within Ye Yu's body circulated wildly, and the sand that had been constantly flowing out suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the sand began to rise at an astonishing speed, forming a sand pillar that lifted Ye Yu up.

The high sand walls that had been built up around the perimeter gradually crumbled and turned into sand and dust that filled the sky.

The Level 4 ability user felt a surge of panic upon witnessing this scene.

He stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him in disbelief. The sand had suddenly become unresponsive to his commands, which shocked and bewildered him.

As the sand wall completely disappeared, Ye Yu stood steadily atop a sand pillar, gazing down at him.

The Level 4 ability user's voice was distorted with fear. He pointed a trembling finger at Ye Yu and stammered, "You... how could you possibly control sand? Are you also an earth-type ability user? Impossible!"

Before he could finish speaking, the scene of Ye Yu being able to control flying needles with her mental power and displaying powerful fire-type abilities suddenly flashed into his mind.

His pupils constricted sharply, and despair filled his face as he muttered to himself, "You're not a dual-elemental ability user, you're a triple-elemental ability user! My God, what kind of monster are you? You're not human!"

Hearing such insulting words, Ye Yu frowned and retorted coldly, "You're not human! Your whole family and the whole country are not human! Tell me, what's your purpose in staying here for so long? Otherwise, I'll let you taste what it's like to be buried alive!"

The Level 4 ability user struggled to regain his composure, his facial muscles twitching as he pretended to be unaffected, saying, "We have no purpose; we're not leaving because we're too tired and want to rest."

Seeing his reaction, Ye Yu didn't waste any words. With a wave of her hands, she manipulated the sand to attack him.

The level four ability user was taken aback by Ye Yu's decisiveness, but quickly calmed down and prepared to retaliate.

But he suddenly discovered a terrible fact—the sand that he used to control so easily could now only move a small portion of it!

His expression changed drastically. He looked up and saw a huge wave of sand rushing towards him like a ferocious beast. In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed by the sand, with only his head remaining above the surface.

The Level 4 ability user panicked and tried to struggle to escape, but found himself completely unable to move.

Ye Yu stepped forward and said coldly, "Tell the truth, or I'll bury you here forever."

The Level 4 ability user's psychological defenses finally crumbled. Terrified, he stared at Ye Yu and said, "I'll talk! I'm from Gran, hired by the United States to bring back advanced data from your country. Also, a Chinese person commissioned me to draw up the terrain here... I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely important! The employer said they'd give us a large sum of money if we found it..."

Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat; it seemed some secret was hidden in this desert. She pressed on, "Then where is the map you drew?"

The level-four ability user gasped, "It's... in my pocket..."

Ye Yu lifted him up, took all his belongings off him, and then buried him back in the rubble.

Ye Yu searched his body and found several Chinese artifacts. Judging from the aura emanating from these artifacts, they should be thousands of years old. It seems that these Granites are all the same, enjoying stealing artifacts from other countries.

Ye Yu snorted coldly, and after using the Soul Searching Technique to confirm that what he said was true, she directly crippled his superpower.

He put the items back into his storage ring, turned around and left, leaving the level four ability user to fend for himself.

The desert winds howled, and her figure gradually faded into the distance, disappearing into the boundless yellow sand.
