Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

Bang! ! !

The ground was smashed to pieces, revealing a thin film barrier hidden in the soil. The raging wind stirred up sand and stones, making everything gray.

Swish swish swish—

Li Chenqiu, who had just dodged the giant hand's attack, didn't even have time to take a breath before dozens of silver needles pierced through the dust and mist, shooting out like bullets.

"Damn it!"

Li Chenqiu cursed inwardly, forced to retreat towards the ground.

If he were alone, these silver needles wouldn't be a problem. He could simply use his Absolute Control to split his body. But unfortunately, he wasn't alone. He was still carrying his boss on his back.

Bang!

Li Chenqiu shattered the ground, and with a thought, he condensed thousands of ice spikes, stabbing towards the woman's location.

As long as he could kill her, he could use his advantage of being able to fly to escape with his boss!

After doing all this, just as he was about to dodge and leave, a mocking voice came from behind him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Warned by his sixth sense, Li Chenqiu slightly retreated his left foot. A cold blade flashed before his eyes, and a few strands of hair fell with the wind.

"Hmm?"

Luo Xuan lightly expressed his surprise, his wrist quickly twisting as the blade slashed horizontally.

Pfft—

Blood painted a crescent moon in the air, and a left arm flew high. Li Chenqiu, losing his balance, fell to the ground.

Luo Xuan's attack didn't stop. The horizontal blade in his hand was like a nimble swimming dragon, changing direction at a strange angle, slashing diagonally towards Li Chenqiu's neck.

Realizing something was wrong, Li Chenqiu flapped his wings, his feet leaving the ground, but he was still a step too late.

Whoosh—

Luo Xuan rushed out of the dust and mist, his left hand grabbing Li Chenqiu's ankle. His arm, raised high, slammed down on the ground with a "bang", creating a surging wave of air. The vines binding Li Ji snapped in response, and the two were completely separated.

"Cannot… cannot!"

Li Chenqiu's eyes were bloodshot. His wrist propped against the ground, and he pushed hard to the left. The sound of bones cracking rang out like firecrackers. His waist and abdomen twisted into a pretzel shape, and blood溢出 from the squeezed cracks.

Then, with a sudden pounce, a fist hardened into steel slammed towards Luo Xuan's face like a cannonball.

"Pitiful."

Luo Xuan revealed a mocking smile, not making any defensive movements. Seeing this, the other two God-Chosen revealed expectant expressions.

Bang!

A strong wind surged. Li Chenqiu's fist bent and cracked, but Luo Xuan's face was unscathed. The two's gazes met in the air, the former shocked, the latter mocking.

"Wang, do you see the difference now?"

The veins on Luo Xuan's arm bulged, his left hand clenching into a fist, slamming diagonally towards Li Chenqiu's brow. At the critical moment, the latter's survival instinct erupted. His right hand, no longer human-shaped, tightly grasped that fist.

"I… I must win…" Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, not knowing who he was saying it to.

"Win? What do you have to win against me with?"

Luo Xuan's left arm slowly exerted force. The trembling of that right hand became greater and greater, but it didn't retreat a step.

"Look at me."

Li Chenqiu's dim eyes slowly opened, the deep black of his eyes being invaded by purple. This was the Medusa's Eye ability.

Luo Xuan, who had been looking at him, suddenly had a few more gray spots in his eyes. The golden light around him weakened briefly. Realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly avoided his gaze, and Li Chenqiu's left hand, which had already healed, also swung his fist at this moment.

Bang!

"Pfft!"

Luo Xuan spat out several bloody teeth, his head about to bend 90° and die when the golden light once again covered his entire body, stopping his head's continued trend to the right.

"You have quite a few tricks!"

Luo Xuan squeezed out the words from between his teeth, raising his foot and fiercely kicking Li Chenqiu in the chest.

Bang!

Li Chenqiu flew out like a shrimp, scraping against the ground and crashing four or five times before barely stopping. Luo Xuan, his anger undiminished, followed closely behind. Before he could stabilize himself, another whip kick lashed out.

Bang!

Li Chenqiu's arms exploded into a bloody mist, crashing heavily against the membrane shield, slowly sliding down, leaving a long trail of blood. His dark black hair was turning gray at this moment, and the speed of wound healing became extremely slow.

His life force was withering.

Feeling his own strength rapidly declining, the dizzying aftereffects were attacking. An indescribable sense of helplessness surged into Li Chenqiu's heart.

Ting—

Luo Xuan flashed to his front, his left hand grabbing his neck like pliers, his body rotating and throwing him to the ground.

Bang!

The ground collapsed, and rubble and sand poured into the deep pit like a waterfall. A clod of earth the size of a table directly hit Li Chenqiu, slapping him back onto the ground just as he was about to climb up.

"This guy has too many strange things about him. Let's keep him alive for now, take him back to the An'tong Division, and hand him over to the Scientific and Technological Department," Luo Xuan said, landing on the ground in a commanding tone.

"Understood."

The burly man responded, his heavy steps coming to the front of the giant pit. His huge palm dug out Li Chenqiu, along with the soil, like an excavator.

The fair-skinned woman walked over, raised her hand, and the hundred or so silver needles circling in the air swooped down, piercing into Li Chenqiu's body, completely imprisoning him.

After doing all this, the woman turned her head to look at Luo Xuan, revealing a sweet smile: "Commander Luo, you've led us to a great achievement!"

"Just completing the mission, it's not a merit. Did you bring the M31 growth inhibitor?" Luo Xuan turned his head and asked.

The woman patted her waist bag: "It's all prepared."

Luo Xuan nodded slightly and walked towards Li Ji's location. The woman hurriedly followed.

Not long after, a painful and weak groan came from a distance.

Li Ji was seen being lifted up by Luo Xuan with one hand. The latter held a syringe and inserted it into his neck, pushing the plunger bit by bit.

Li Ji opened his cracked lips: "Kill… me…"

Luo Xuan shook his head: "We've already captured you alive, there's no need to kill you."

Li Ji slowly opened his eyes, stiffly turning his head, and saw Li Chenqiu lying in a pool of blood. The two's gazes met at this moment.

But the latter could no longer see or hear. All that remained before his eyes was a blood-red color, and all that was in his ears was the roar of the wind.
