Cao Mao was nervous, but he was ready for the riskiest bet of his life.

Since this situation was hopeless, he had to think like a protagonist.

What would a protagonist without plot armor do in this situation?

How would such a protagonist survive in this situation?

Against an overwhelming opponent, how many options did protagonists in novels have?

Cao Mao fell into deep thought. He looked at Fu De and Zhang Junyi, calculating his survival chance.

It didn’t take long for Cao Mao to come up with a plan. He smiled and gave Fu De and Zhang Junyi a middle finger.

“I’ll be your opponent, motherfuckers. Come!”

Fu De couldn’t hold back anymore. He laughed.

“HAHAHAHA! That’s rich coming from an essence gathering weakling! I have to admit that you’re as strong as foundation establishment cultivators, but who do you think I am!? I’ve cultivated an advanced element and dao pillars, you fool! Come at you? Sure! I’ll crush you within one move!”

Zhang Junyi also joined in the laughter and shook his head, “You’re overestimating yourself. Well, I’m looking forward to seeing your struggle, junior.”

“You guys just don’t know what a cornered dog can do.”

Cao Mao took something from his spatial ring and waved it in front of everyone. It was a rotten banana, “Do you know what it is?”

Fu De continued to laugh as he thought that it was a rotten banana, but Zhang Junyi’s face changed, “HOW DID YOU GET THAT!?”

“Didn’t I tell you that you’ll get into trouble with your dao god later? Yuan Hua is supporting me, and she is going to be pissed if I die. Since it has come to this, I can’t let any of you have this precious treasure.

Cao Mao shoved the banana into his mouth, swallowing it whole.

Ding

[You have eaten a wet banana.]

[Your cognitive abilities have been boosted by a hundredfold!]

“NOOO!!” Zhang Junyi screamed and held his head as if someone had destroyed his precious Yuan Hua figure models.

But Cao Mao hadn’t finished yet. He took out another pallet, which should have been auctioned as one of the main event items.

It was the gold element pallet, the immortal-grade pill that Ma Moxi had made.

“Do you know what it is?”

At this moment, Fu De and Zhang Junyi understood the pattern. If they allowed him to continue, Cao Mao would eat or destroy all treasures and pills that he had acquired from Tang Deming. They screamed in panic.

“STOP!!!”

Cao Mao popped the pallet in his mouth. Then, he chewed it loudly, mocking the two experts.

Under the effect of the wet banana, his learning ability, information processing, processing speed, calculating skill, and memory were on overdrive mode. His brain became a supercomputer that instantly processed and calculated everything within less than a second.

As such, Cao Mao was not afraid of the backlash. He stared at the two experts while he multi-tasked, micro-managing the rampaging gold element Qi within his dantian, digesting and sorting the Qi at a breathtaking speed.

That was not all, Cao Mao took out every essence core that he had and absorbed them all at once!

And because of the surge of Cao Mao’s life essence and the appearance of an advanced element, the sky turned dark as the tribulation cloud began to gather.

“HAHAHA! Catch me if you can! Since greedy bastards like you won’t leave me alone, I’ll just eat and destroy every treasure I’ve gotten from Tang Deming!”

Cao Mao flew west, heading directly toward the Blood Sea.

Fu De screamed with rage. He charged at Cao Mao with the intent to kill.

Zhang Junyi also activated his domain. A pink dome field expanded, and his leotard changed into a magical girl suit. Yet, his muscle expanded, becoming bulkier than usual.

He became a 3-meter-tall muscular giant in a magical girl outfit!

However, his testicles were too big. His pubic hair and the ugly balls slipped out of the V-shaped bikini, and the long meat’s head also poked out of the upper part!

However, Zhang Junyi didn’t care.

His magic wand, a 50cm staff with a heart-shaped jewel, pointed at Cao Mao, unleashing his domain power.

While Fu De had been focusing on Cao Mao, Zhang Junyi didn’t let this opportunity slip away. He attacked both Cao Mao and Fu De at the same time.

Junjun Magical Beam!

A rainbow beam was fired from Zhang Junyi’s magic wand. At the same time, the same beams also appeared everywhere within the domain dome, covering the radius of a kilometer.

Everything was in chaos. A thousand beams erratically traveled in a different direction, and some of them went after Fu De!

The beams traveled at the speed of light. Both Fu De and Cao Mao were devoured by the beams right away!

“KUH!!!”

“AAAAHHHHHHH!!”

As soon as the rainbow light covered their bodies, pink smoke came out from their melted flesh.

Fu De and Cao Mao screamed in pain. For a moment there, they had believed that they were done for.

However, Zhang Junyi deactivated his skill and waited for the smoke to subside, watching how his targets fared against his curse ability.

Junjun Magical Beam was a debuff technique, unique to Zhang Junyi. He had invented this technique to torture or curse his opponents, and it worked perfectly against stronger cultivators.

As Zhang Junyi was waiting for the pink smoke to fade, Fu De flew out of the smoke and revealed his state.

From a demonic vampire appearance, Fu De temporarily degraded to a giant bat with burnt skin. He squeaked and glared at Zhang Junyi with hatred.

“ZHANG JUNYI!!”

“Ara, what’s wrong?”

“YOU BASTARD!? WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME!?”

“Why not? That boy is dead meat. It’s a matter of time before I catch him regardless of what he does. But you are now alone, and you suddenly showed me your back, I couldn’t resist your soft juicy butt.”

Zhang Junyi licked his lips as he gazed at Fu De’s buttock.

“Also,” Zhang Junyi’s tranny voice turned masculine. “I can’t let a vampire lord roam free. YOU WILL DIE HERE!”

“IT’S YOU WHO HAS TO PAY THE PRICE!”

Fu De ejected all of his talismans from his spatial rings, which barely hung on his bat claws.

Over ten thousand yellow papers flew around Fu De. The bat also glared at Zhang Junyi, using his best technique with his eyes.

Blood Detonation!

Zhang Junyi snorted and waved his wand. Sparkling and glittering powders came out from the wand’s tip and formed a rainbow wall.

BOOM

The rainbow wall blocked Fu De’s blood command. Because of the interference, Fu De received a backlash of using a remote attack. He vomited blood, and his bat wings lost strength.

As Fu De lost his initiative, Zhang Junyi’s other hand drew a magic circle and completed another spell.

He placed his palm on the newly created magic circle and activated his second domain skill, locking on his target, Fu De.

Junjun Love-Love Beam!

As if GDI’s satellite had fired an ion cannon upon Fu De, a ray of light descended from the sky and shone upon the vampire bat.

However, Fu De’s talismans merged together and created a mirror array. The light gathered in the array mirror and reflected it back toward the caster.

Zhang Junyi juked left and dodged the reflected beam energy.

The beam landed on the ground behind Zhang Junyi, causing an explosion and a mushroom cloud.

But then, the giant bat in the talisman array turned into an afterimage. Fu De reappeared behind Zhang Junyi.

The vampire bat sunk its teeth into Zhang Junyi’s right shoulder!

CLINK

The teeth were unable to penetrate into the muscular tranny’s skin. Fu De could sense a weird advanced element Qi inside his opponent’s body.

Zhang Junyi turned around and delivered a backhand fist at the face of the vampire.

It connected! Fu De’s bat face was smacked and his skull cracked. He was sent flying.

Zhang Junyi flashed and reappeared behind Fu De again. Then, he swung his wand as if it was a hammer, smacking the head of the bat.

CRACK

The skull-shattering sound was audible. Fu De got smacked toward the ground.

Zhang Junyi pointed the wand at the collapsed bat. Rainbow energy condensed at the tip of his wand hammer.

Junjun Fluffy Beam!

Instead of shooting beams, the wand acted as a machine gun, bombarding Fu De with over 10,000 rounds of light bullets!

Yet, the bat turned into black smoke and sunk into the ground. The vampire had used his life-saving ability to escape.

Zhang Junyi snorted, clicking his tongue since the slippery vampire had escaped from his grasp again. Still, the beating just now was enough to give Fu De a serious injury, so the latter should be out of commission for a few months at least.

Now, there was no competitor. Zhang Junyi could leisurely capture Cao Mao and bring him back to Yuan Shaoqing. As for the treasures that Cao Mao had, Zhang Junyi had already planned to confiscate everything.

He turned toward Cao Mao, who was still within the pink smoke.

Zhang Junyi expanded his sense again, checking if Cao Mao was still alive after the laser beam.

Cao Mao was still breathing, and he still had enough strength to keep levitating. However, his appearance greatly changed due to the degradation curse of Junjun Magical Beam.

Junjun Magical Beam was a signature ability of Zhang Junyi, which could either decay or regress someone’s ability for a short period. The beam attack could never be dodged or defended as long as his targets stayed in his domain. However, Zhang Junyi didn’t know what kind of degradation or devolution his opponent would experience after being hit by the beam.

The debuff effect greatly depended on the target’s personality, dao, power, element Qi, and race.

In Fu De’s case, he was a true blood vampire, who had inherited a proper bloodline from his father and a vampire dao god. As such, when he had been hit by the beam, his bloodline had been weakened and temporarily degraded to the lowest form of a vampire – a lesser vampire who couldn’t transform into a human.

As for Cao Mao, Zhang Junyi had no idea what kind of degradation he would experience, but it would never be good.

Observing and waiting for the pink smoke to disappear, Zhang Junyi grinned. He was excited to see the result.

After a few minutes of waiting, the smoke finally dispersed. What awaited Zhang Junyi was no longer Cao Mao.

A long-haired man with a tattered cloth glared at Zhang Junyi with his golden pupils. His sclera had turned black, and his ears had become long and pointy while his upper fangs had gotten sharper.

A layer of Cao Mao’s skin had been melted and replaced with brown tanned skin. The burnt parts had also been healed by his life essence and the orc’s vitality.

Golden tribal tattoos, covering his left torso, arms, and back, glittered under the sunlight and the reflected light from the Blood Sea. His toned chest muscle, abs, quads, shoulders, biceps, and triceps had become clearer than before.

Cao Mao had turned into a handsome brown orc!
