To have them help open a door, the basic price was hundreds of millions, calculated by the minute. At this time, having them intervene in the Desert Market's internal strife was no longer a matter of just adding money... Besides, the number of people who had rushed through the door had already exceeded forty, among whom more than twelve, as observed by Gloria, were rich in spiritual energy and likely to be Chosen Ones.

At this moment, Ji Jue could only be thankful that he had Xiao Jiu's warning and that the entire villa was shrouded in a fog.

Otherwise, if their opponents had teleported right to their faces without any preparation, what was the point of fighting? They might as well surrender.

Old Tang acted really fast.

Chen Yubo was already in the safe house at this point, and even then, he didn't forget to hold onto his two broken cats. Next to him, Ayi had activated the Crystal Prism that had been installed.

As light refracted and positions shifted, the massive metal safe house disappeared without a trace through subtle refractions.

It was not just visually concealed; once Ayi's Matrix activated, the presence of the entire safe house nearly vanished; it merged with the villa.

Unfortunately, Ayi's Rank was too low, even lower than Ji Jue's, being only First Rank. Even if he exerted all his strength, he could only maintain it for about fifteen minutes.

"Fifteen minutes,"

Ji Jue murmured softly.

Fifteen minutes, sometimes too fleeting, yet at others, tragically long. Too short to watch a video and use the restroom, yet long enough to fight a battle and see hundreds or thousands die.

One by one, the images transmitted from the surveillance cameras swiftly extinguished, all the cameras placed overtly had been destroyed by wild gunfire.

The speed of the attackers was unimaginable, as if they had already figured out the layout of the villa in advance.

Perhaps they had gotten their hands on the design blueprints while they had been tailing him?

Before that, what he had first heard were footsteps.

The sound came through the Bluetooth earpiece.

That location...

In an instant, Ji Jue felt a chill run down his spine—right above his head!

The dome vibrated, thundering and cracking.

A burly figure covered in tattoos descended from above!

Clad in heavy armor, adorned with intricate Spiritual Circuits, the eyes of the newcomer swirled with familiar blood flames, making Ji Jue curse out loud.

The crowd!

Why was it always the crowd?!

"Why are you guys everywhere?"

He no longer dared to compete in speed with his opponent, his palm pressing on a sports car in the garage, the car sprinted away, dragging him backward, widening the distance.

"Hey—"

A mocking laughter emanated from where he had landed, the Chosen One of the crowd had already locked his eyes on Ji Jue.

The crowd was the shadow of war.

Wherever there was a blaze of war, that shadow followed.

"Ji Jue?"

The tattooed Chosen One had locked onto his position, recognizing his face, and sighed with a breath that seemed to carry a hint of regret, "It's a pity, only 410,000—"

But that was enough!

He pulled out two thick-bladed long swords from behind and lunged towards Ji Jue!

In the sprint, the distance closed rapidly.

He then saw what Ji Jue had taken from the back of the driver's seat through the car window... a submachine gun, fully loaded and safety off.

Aim, lock on, and then, pull the trigger!

In less than three seconds, a torrent of metal poured out, every bullet aimed at the enemy's face, but they all... missed!

As Ji Jue pulled the trigger, the Chosen One's diving motion abruptly stopped, the blood fire enveloping his body unexpectedly shifting sideways, dodging, the bullets closely following but all just missing, causing Ji Jue's vision to darken.

Anticipate the enemy?

Again, goddamnit, anticipate the enemy?!

Can you crowd guys not even play without this blessing?!

But just like no Chosen One of the Embers would ignore "Heavenly Skill," in the heart of every Chosen One from the crowd, there also resided a first love known as "anticipate the enemy."

Pre-reading, sensing, neural reflex, and dodging, attacking—such a powerful blessing could transform the combat power of any Chosen One.

Having a Middle Rank blessing like anticipate the enemy proved that the opponent was at least Fourth Rank and upward, definitely a Transformation Rank!

And now, after casually dodging the submachine gun fire, the attacker accelerated again from the sprint!

The spiritual energy surging around his body grew more intense and piercing, endlessly erupting, enhancing his defense, speed, attack, and reactions all-around.

Another standard blessing of a murderous brute—[Furious Flames Like Tide]!

Boom!

Two car headlights lit up close by, a silent cargo truck suddenly started, speeding and charging towards the attacker—before that, the eyes of the Chosen One had already sharply turned to the side.

The blood fire rose on the double blades in his hand, converging on the edges, the force explosively increasing!

Ji Jue's heart sank again.

The ability to enhance the power of weapons with spiritual energy and murderous intent...

This was [Battle-tempered]!

In a split second, the vehicle was slashed into two halves, but right after that, the shrill beeping noise from the truck's cabin rang out, the red indicator light on the plastic explosives lit up, fierce flames surged, and the blast swept across.
