Rebirth Rank's the crowd!

That sword...

Ji Jue squinted his eyes, trying to discern the details—after shedding their mortal flesh, those of the Rebirth Rank's Chosen often undergo numerous anomalies; changes in bones or flesh are merely external appearances. At their core, they are no longer akin to ordinary beings. Just like the former Lawrence who healed so rapidly, he was even able to withstand Minerva's direct fierce attacks head-on.

At this moment, the sword that the opponent drew might be an anomaly achieved after rebirth, who knows what bizarre effects and power it might still contain.

Just by seeing that it could slice through telekinetic repulsion as if it were a hot knife through wax, one knew it was going to be a serious problem.

Moreover, on the other side of the encampment, the figure that was blasted away by the frontal attack of the Burning Star Image had also gotten back up, still blurry, cloaked all in black as if cast from the shadows, and had completely regenerated its lost flesh and body.

Ji Jue's heart sank further.

Another Rebirth...

And it's White Deer who directly opposes Tian Yuan!

Ji Jue's heart grew even heavier.

My damn luck is seriously screwed up; initially, it was just my elder brother leading a team to fight a golden-team instance, so how the hell did it end up with even the Permanent Investigation Team getting stolen from, and spawning these two damned things?

What the hell is the Evil Cult up to?

How much did they drink? Not taking a bite of food, daring to play so big?!

"Blood Priest Yan Chong, Shadow Hand Ling Zhi?"

Tong Shan sneered, "I thought it was someone impressive, but it's just two stray dogs too scared to show their faces in the Federation; after joining the Evil Cult, their spines have stiffened quite a bit, huh."

From within the gradually spreading shadow that was losing its human shape came a cold voice, "Before coming here, someone told me that the twelfth on the origin stone rankings is too low for you—but unfortunately, I don't believe it."

"I tend to agree."

Yan Chong grinned.

Suddenly and without warning, a blood-red storm erupted from the ground!

It was the Wind Sweeping Cloud, a power many magnitudes above any of the crowd's Chosen Ones Ji Jue had ever seen!

Unlike the complexity and eeriness of other paths, the blessing of the crowd's path has always been straightforward and robust to the point of causing alarm—boosting attack, defense, health, and damage output...

There aren't many mechanics; it's all freaking numbers!

At this moment, as the inflated numbers of the Rebirth Rank unfolded before Ji Jue's eyes, he felt as if everything within sight was shrouded by the scarlet storm.

A mere charge kicked up a wild surge that made it difficult for ordinary people to stand their ground!

On the other side, Ling Zhi's figure had vanished without a trace, turning into an elusive and unfathomable darkness, rolling towards Tong Shan.

Two Mutated Chosen Ones, steeped in the Rebirth Rank for years and among the most wanted in the Federation, launched a fierce attack on Tong Shan together!

And as if that wasn't enough, others didn't seem idle either...

Around the turbulent ruins of the encampment, one figure after another emerged from their hiding places, surrounding Tong Shan from all sides.

Amidst the violent thrashing and swirling winds high in the sky, at least two dozen Mutated Chosen Ones were already attacking from all directions!

"So, they're really determined to get us."

Serving as the acting deputy leader, Ji Liu chuckled wryly, drawing two weapons taller than himself from the vehicle—one like an axe, the other like a halberd.

"Prepare for retreat; I'll cover the rear."

He ordered, "Jiang Xuan, Xiao Xue, protect Xu Guan and the craftsman."

Before he needed to be told, as soon as Yan Chong appeared, Ji Jue had already shielded Jiang Xuan in front of his chest, and now he cautiously said while holding onto the dazed Lou Feng, "Brother Xuan, you must protect me well!"

"I'll... do my best."

Jiang Xuan chuckled wryly, his body turning silver. His Golden Iron Quality and power transformed, and with a wave of his hand, iron walls rose from the ground to shield his teammates from the bullets whistling in from afar.

His other hand lifted a massive iron hammer, temporarily transformed from the ground, placing it in the forefront.

Take a deep breath.

Still, could not help but get goosebumps...

Facing head-on was no problem, but having to protect unarmed teammates amidst the chaos... can this really be sorted just by doing one's best?

"Don't worry, the Evil Cult is too strong in this version; indeed, that's an issue," Ji Jue said, sticking his head out and looking at the incoming enemies. "I can help you slash it a bit."

Slash?

How to slash?

This is not some shopping app where sharing a link gets you a slash...

Jiang Xuan shook his head, about to thank him for the kind offer, but then he saw it—the strange armored off-road vehicle that had somehow made its way outside the encampment ruins, as well as the rear compartment of the vehicle slowly opening amid the tremors.

And then, beside the machine gun, another bizarre piece of equipment slowly rose, covered with weld scars and processing marks, and in a fit of laziness, not even painted...

It looked just like a set of a dozen or so clumsy steel tubes, roughly welded together.

At a glance, it resembled...

Jiang Xuan's first instinct was to rub his eyes, doubting his sanity and vision: Hold on, where the hell did you get a cluster rocket launcher from?!

Am I insane?

Or are you...

"Don't be afraid."

Ji Jue patted his shoulder, whispering in his ear, "I have technology!"

Now, here comes technology!

Amidst piercing, whistling howls, a series of rapid fires burst forth, shooting out from the launcher, rising into the air.

In his perception, the launcher laughed maniacally:

[I'm gonna shoot the hell out of you!!!!]

A classic military product from Huan Yu Heavy Industries, the Lu Wu model 70mm cluster rocket launcher.

Effective range up to 800 meters, maximum payload of fourteen rounds, electronic firing, rocket warheads not only loaded with standard charge but also included some little surprises from the craftsman...
