The Gene Superbody was drenched in cold sweat; he didn't need to think about it—he had kicked not a steel plate but a crematorium. In front of this figure, he felt too vulnerable!
He struggled to comprehend what kind of freak this was. Just by brushing against his severed arm, his shoulder had cracked. This was the most direct manifestation of Wang Xuan practicing the Golden Body Technique to the sixth level's peak—his physical strength was absurdly powerful!
"What...?" The most humiliating part for the Gene Superbody was that he wasn't even allowed to speak. Why was that? As soon as he opened his mouth, his bones shattered, and pain shot through his entire body.
Now, he was even being mentally suppressed. Had the opponent formed a mental domain? It was truly terrifying.
"I have something to say!" he struggled to roar. He wanted to negotiate, to beg for mercy; otherwise, he would die with his eyes wide open. Who was this?
Bang!
Instead, the terrifying young man smiled and stroked his chin. With a crack, his jaw shattered, and at that moment, the pain brought tears to his eyes.
It was so difficult; living in this world, he couldn't even speak, couldn't even offer a humble apology or ask who this divine figure was. Wasn't he allowed any chance?
As for retaliating, he didn't dare think about it. He was very clear about the gap between them. This young man could break his bones with just a touch; if he dared to retaliate or use other so-called trump cards, he would likely die instantly!
He would rather endure the pain of survival than die immediately.
Behind him, Zhao Qinghan was shocked. Initially, she thought this person was genuinely injured, merely bluffing, but the more she looked, the stranger it became. There was something seriously wrong.
Was this really a master? She doubted it; even if Wang Xuan was powerful, it shouldn't be to such an extent, effortlessly crippling someone of this level was astonishing.
Zhao Qinghan, tall and graceful, approached with light steps, eager to investigate.
The Gene Superbody felt as if he saw a savior. He was ruthless by nature and had sharp observational skills; he sensed that this girl seemed kind and appeared to want to ask him something.
Thus, he tried his best to show that he hoped this incredibly beautiful young woman could temporarily stop the man's "evil deeds."
However, what he received was a beautifully executed kick to his chest from the exceptionally stunning girl.
Zhao Qinghan wanted to test how badly this person was injured; only a personal examination would reveal the truth!
With a loud bang, the Gene Superbody was kicked in the chest, feeling as if his head was about to explode. Had he encountered a couple who enjoyed beating people, taking delight in it?
"Why couldn't I severely injure him?" Zhao Qinghan asked Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan hadn't expected the goddess would kick him directly. He pretended to examine the Gene Superbody's chest bone, saying, "He had no injuries here originally, but now that you've kicked him, it's cracked and about to break. If you don't believe me, try again."
"I—!" The middle-aged man was going crazy. Clearly, you crushed it with your hand—demon, an incredibly powerful young monster!
At that moment, he believed Wang Xuan might be some kind of demonized figure. After all, this was the Secret Realm, filled with mythical Mist—anything was possible.
"Don't torment him anymore; he seems pitiful. I notice that wherever you touch him, he fractures!" Zhao Qinghan spoke up. Her eyes were bright; ordinary tricks couldn't fool her.
At that moment, the Gene Superbody wanted to cry; finally, someone spoke a word of justice. He nodded repeatedly.
However, Zhao Qinghan's next words made him feel like he had fallen from the human world into hell.
"I think you should give him a quick end!" Zhao Qinghan suggested.
The Gene Superbody felt he had indeed encountered a demonic couple; there was no kind-hearted person among them. The girl looked extraordinarily beautiful, like a fairy in the terrifying Secret Realm filled with monsters, yet her first words were to call for his death!
Zhao Qinghan was not of a weak disposition; having confirmed that this middle-aged man was not a good person, wanting to harm Wang Xuan and likely having malicious intent toward her, she believed that killing such a person was virtuous.
She had heard of female adventurers in the Secret Realm's uninhabited areas who had nightmarish experiences—those who survived only to live in unimaginable pain for the rest of their lives.
This person before her was the kind of demon that had no limits, clearly shown just moments ago.
Wang Xuan felt that Zhao Qinghan was indeed difficult to deceive; no matter how he tried to hide it, she had grown suspicious, likely already believing he was a powerful master.
He stopped and addressed the middle-aged man, "You answer whatever I ask. Don't speak carelessly. Do you understand?"
The middle-aged man immediately cradled his broken jaw and nodded, afraid to defy him. The more such bottomless people encountered "even more ruthless individuals," the easier it was for them to be suppressed and become timid.
"What's your situation? Which adventure organization did you join? Why are you here? Where's your team?"
"I joined the Song family's adventure team..."
He introduced himself, stating that the elder of the Song family had led a large number of experts into a do-or-die situation, wanting to break into a certain area of the Secret Realm, hoping to drink "Earth Origin Liquid" and gain a new life like Zhong Yong.
As a result, deep within the Secret Realm, they encountered a terrifying horde of monsters, and even a Grand Master-level Moonlight Bodhisattva from their team was obliterated.
This middle-aged man, having witnessed such a scene, turned and fled. He didn't know what happened afterward.
He had fled here, discovering the spiritual herbs and wanting to pick them, but there were two monsters in the lake that he couldn't handle alone, leaving him anxiously waiting.
"How many people have you killed along the way?" Wang Xuan asked him.
"None..." However, as soon as Wang Xuan released his mental domain suppression, he broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if his mental energy source was about to collapse.
"I killed six!" he gritted his teeth and said, then cupped his hands in a bow, "I've said everything, you two, divine couple, please give me a chance. The Secret Realm is so dangerous; I can serve as your guide."
Wang Xuan chuckled, "You're quite the talker."
Zhao Qinghan glanced at him, saying, "You might as well give him a quick end."
Wang Xuan nodded and kicked the man, sending him flying with a loud bang. His chest caved in completely, and it was clear he wouldn't survive.
"Demonic... couple!" the Gene Superbody gritted his teeth, his face filled with unwillingness and resentment as he took his last breath.
"I thought you might let him lure the monsters in the lake to the shore," Zhao Qinghan said.
"He's too weak. If we threw him in the lake, the monsters would tear him apart, and the water would be filled with blood. When it comes time to pick the herbs and consume them, I'd have a hard time doing so," Wang Xuan replied, approaching the lake to try stepping into the water.
"Be careful; there are monsters in the lake. That guy was a master, and he felt it was exceptionally dangerous in the water," Zhao Qinghan warned.
"He's not a master!" Wang Xuan shook his head.
Zhao Qinghan scoffed; at this moment, she found it hard to believe him!
Wang Xuan saw a golden shadow rushing toward him, its huge mouth opened wide, ready to bite.
It was a crocodile-like monster with a pair of horns on its head, its entire body a pale golden color, powerful and about six meters long, creating massive waves as it charged forward with incredible speed!
Wang Xuan stepped back, and the monster suddenly leaped onto the shore, its body glowing with pale gold as it attacked him fiercely.
Bang!
Wang Xuan tested its strength, kicking the monster and sending it rolling, almost breaking one of its ribs.
He realized that this monster was slightly stronger than the previous Gene Superbody, but it was still at the master level, posing no threat to him.
"Look, it seems quite ordinary, right? It's not even a master-level creature, but two levels below that," Wang Xuan remarked as he charged forward, pinning the monster's head down and delivering a flurry of blows.
The monster was dazed. Who was this person? Much smaller than it, yet possessing immense strength, attacking fiercely and trying to crush its skull!
"It's just a mutated crocodile, far from being a master. It's very weak!" Wang Xuan continued to pummel it, noticing it was becoming unresponsive, he concluded his evaluation.
