The crowd of people from various guilds parted ways, daring not to block the path. Long Zhixiang walked to the top of the slope first, his expression placid. He spotted the two enormous monsters behind Ye Chen, his eyes flashing and seeming to light up. Although anyone present, if they entered Superman Mode, possessed the ability to kill these two monsters, monsters of this caliber were sentient, extremely cunning, and would immediately flee if they sensed an overwhelmingly powerful enemy!

Furthermore, monsters of this level were inherently rare and difficult to encounter. While humans could dispatch a superhuman squad to slaughter them, these monsters often claimed territory and had subordinates.

"I'll take the Aphid Serpent," said Xue Dao of the Iron Blood Guild coldly, his tone carrying the unquestionable authority and killing intent of an emperor commanding the world.

Long Zhixiang chuckled lightly, unconcerned, and said calmly, "Both of these have evolved. In terms of sheer size, the Aphid Serpent is likely the larger of the two. To claim it all for yourself is perhaps too greedy."

Killing intent surged in Xue Dao's eyes, like a man-devouring beast, as he stared bloodthirstily at the smiling Long Zhixiang. After a long gaze, he finally said coldly, "In that case, I want the corpse of the Lion Demon." His tone suggested he absolutely had to have one of the two monsters.

Ye Chen glanced at him, his expression serene, thinking to himself that this man's mind had been severely eroded by the aftereffects of slaughter. Soon, he would become a madman who killed anyone he saw, losing his sanity and becoming no different from a monster. It was no wonder the Iron Blood Guild was ultimately destroyed by him.

"Xue Dao!" Wu Hao, who had remained silent until now, spoke coldly, "Too rigid, too easy to break. Based on weight, these two should be divided equally among the three factions. If you insist on claiming them all yourself, we will fight to the death today. Though my physique might not match yours, I won't necessarily lose!"

Only then did the others understand—Xue Dao himself had arrived, and with his overbearing nature, he would definitely claim both monsters for himself. This was why Long Zhixiang and Wu Hao had to step in to suppress him.

"You want to fight me?" Xue Dao turned to stare at him.

Wu Hao glanced at the calmly observing Long Zhixiang beside him and said dismissively, "So what if we fight? I hear you received a set of saber techniques from a Martial Arts Grandmaster—sharp and piercing. I'd like to experience it."

Many who were masters of Tai Chi, Xing Yi Quan, various saber techniques, and other disciplines in peaceful times held extremely high status in the base cities, able to open halls and accept disciples for exorbitant fees. While slaughter could hone skills better, the risk was immense; one misstep could lead to ruin. These fist and blade techniques possessed ancient history, being concise and profound, with every move perfected through the countless efforts of predecessors before becoming martial arts passed down through the ages.

Combat methodology was of immense importance; the higher the skill, the greater the fighting power one could exert alone. A lumberjack might possess greater raw strength than a swordsman, but in a fight, the swordsman could dispatch the lumberjack with a single move—that was the gap in skill!

Seeing that the two were about to clash, and with everyone's attention drawn to them, Ye Chen subtly shifted his position, moving closer to the two monster corpses. These corpses were enormous; lifting and carrying them away single-handedly would undoubtedly cause a massive commotion, so everyone felt secure and neglected to guard them.

Ye Chen arrived beside the corpses and, seeing that no one was paying attention, slowly extended his palm behind his back, resting it against the flank of the Tyrant Lion. He felt its skin was rough and covered in fur—tough enough that ordinary weapons would find it difficult to inflict damage. Unconcerned, he slowly circulated his internal energy, gathering it in his palm to form a vortex, drawing the life essence that perpetually burned within the Tyrant Lion towards him.

Streams of pale yellow life essence, like converging stars, thread by thread, poured into his palm and surged into his body. Ye Chen's arm shuddered, and he instantly felt this essence carrying a violent restlessness, as if an enraged lion was roaring in his mind, deafeningly loud. An ordinary person would likely have been scared to the point of their liver and gall shattering—but his state of mind was strong; he was only slightly startled before calming down.

"I didn't expect this Tyrant Lion was so close to awakening its innate talent and cultivating its own elemental energy!" Ye Chen inwardly marveled. After reaching level one hundred, his awakened talent caused his own energy to subtly change; it could no longer be casually absorbed, lest attributes clash, leading instead to bodily explosion or severed meridians.

This Tyrant Lion's energy carried a faint trace of the Gold element, known as Metal Qi. The moment it was absorbed, it clashed with his inherent energy, showing a slight tendency to dominate. Ye Chen hastily stopped the absorption, enveloping the faint Gold Qi already taken in, and began refining it.

Fortunately, this monster had not fully awakened its talent; its energy only possessed a slight trace of Gold Qi. If it had fully transformed into Gold Qi, absorbing it would have been tantamount to seeking death. Before long, that small pocket of Gold Qi was refined, forcing out the trace of the Gold attribute, allowing him to absorb and refine the pure energy.

Only after completely refining it did Ye Chen resume absorbing the Tyrant Lion's Gold Qi, taking only small sips each time, and only proceeding after successful refinement.

"How dare you!" Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out. Ye Chen looked up and saw a team approaching from the bottom of the slope. Leading them was a majestic, stern-faced man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a chin covered in stubble. Beside him was a woman in red leather armor. The exquisite armor tightly wrapped her prominent peaks, her lower abdomen was flat and smooth, and below that were extremely short denim shorts. Two Desert Eagle pistols were tucked at her hips, and a finely crafted dagger rested in a sheath near her knee!

However, the most conspicuous item was the great saber strapped to her shoulder—two meters long and nearly half a meter wide. Even with her tall stature of one meter seventy-eight, she appeared somewhat slender and small next to this saber.

The woman possessed long, elegant legs and a heart-shaped face, making her exceedingly beautiful, yet a lit cigar hung from her red lips.

"Violent Queen, Bing Yun!" someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

Everyone gasped and made way, their gazes fixed on the woman. Their eyes discreetly swept over her high breasts before quickly looking away, daring not to stare.

Long Zhixiang and Wu Hao both saw their expressions shift subtly, their brows furrowing as they watched the woman’s arrogant eyes. Xue Dao, however, merely sneered, his gaze brazenly sweeping over the exposed parts of her body.

"I didn't expect even that Female Overlord to show up."

"Even Young Master Lian Yun didn't dare to confront her head-on before!"

"Too powerful."

Everyone murmured their observations. Ye Chen paused briefly upon seeing the appearance of the woman in red leather armor, suddenly recalling seeing her kill a Cerberus beast before. He realized this woman was Bing Yun, a figure renowned globally in his previous life, holding the title of "Ice Fire Goddess" and the rank of 'Emperor' expert!

World Title Ranks were divided into: Top Ten Superhuman Experts, King Tier, Emperor Tier, and God Tier!

"I heard this woman's innate talent is terrifying—she is dual-attribute, Ice and Fire, a Talent Variant!" Ye Chen thought to himself. Talent Variants were those whose awakened innate attributes included two or more elements! Naturally, a dual-element Variant was the pinnacle of the elite, and those with three or more were exceedingly rare. Moreover, both of this woman's innate attributes were among the seven major Upper-Tier elements!

At this moment, Bing Yun, accompanied by a group of generals and commanders, walked up to Long Zhixiang and the others. She glanced at Xue Dao, extended two slender, pale fingers resembling scallions, pinched the cigar from her lips, and gave him a flirtatious smile before exhaling a wisp of smoke. "What are you looking at?" she asked charmingly.

Xue Dao inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from her, feeling as if his bones were melting. He grinned and replied, "I've long heard of the Violent Queen's great name. It’s rare to meet you today. After we settle this matter, how about we go for a drink?"

Bing Yun smiled faintly, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped him across the face with a crisp, loud "Smack," silencing all the surrounding chatter. A profound quiet fell over the area.

Although this slap came without warning, Xue Dao's physique should have allowed him to instinctively dodge it, yet he did not! Xue Dao felt intense pain on his left cheek and roared in fury, "Bitch, you're asking to die!" Few men could remain calm after being slapped by a woman.

Bing Yun took a drag of her cigar and blew the smoke into Xue Dao's face, her expression cold and indifferent. "With a face as ugly as yours, I wouldn't even bother. If you don't want to die, roll aside. Today, of the two corpses, the Aphid Serpent belongs to us—as for the Tyrant Lion, you can divide it amongst yourselves."

Long Zhixiang and Wu Hao exchanged a glance; their expressions turned grim. Bing Yun was not only powerful herself but also backed by the Huaxia Base City. If they truly fought, they would be the ones to suffer losses.

Seeing this, Ye Chen sighed internally, concluding that she truly lived up to her reputation as the world's strongest woman; she certainly had courage. His expression remained calm; he did not immediately activate his Rune Space to collect the two monsters, choosing to let them fight first! Once their forces were weakened through conflict, he would seize the opportunity.

"Damn woman!" Xue Dao roared, activating his Superman State. His entire body became covered in leopard spots—he had transformed into a Cheetah Superman. He moved instantly, grasping his dark battle saber and hacking straight toward Bing Yun. Long Zhixiang, standing nearby, chuckled inwardly. 'Xue Dao's strength surpasses mine, but his mind is corrupted by bloodlust, making him kill at the slightest provocation. Now, whether he kills Bing Yun or is killed by her, he’s dug his own grave.'

A cold light flashed in Bing Yun's eyes, and a colorful stripe appeared on her forehead, but otherwise, there was no change. Ye Chen was prepared; he knew she was a Rainbow Phoenix Superman, a type of mutated butterfly monster gene, extremely powerful, even stronger than the common Ant Superman.

A thought struck him: perhaps he could search for the genes of a mutated monster to merge with his second genetic state. Although this was incredibly difficult—mutated monsters were rare finds—how would he know if he didn't try? For the Ant gene he had already merged with, achieving another mutation would be extremely challenging.
