Chapter 1696: Guo Ran’s Distress

“What the f.u.c.k! Boss, you conned me!”

Guo Ran let out a startled cry, not having expected Long Chen to suddenly kick him into the spatial channel . When he pa.s.sed through the opening, he immediately felt like millions of giant mountains were crus.h.i.+ng him from every direction .

Guo Ran hastily sent more energy to his protective runes, but he still felt that terrifying pressure .

This channel was supposed to be a one-way street . The reason it had been done like that was to maximize the channel’s strength .

A one-way channel was ten times more stable than one that went both ways . Although magical arts could go through, physical bodies couldn’t . Furthermore, even magical arts couldn’t be used so easily . It would consume a terrifying amount of Spiritual Strength to send them through without them weakening from the pressure of the channel . Long Chen’s previous attacks, especially the Nine Star Beads, had taken up a huge amount of his Spiritual Strength to send through the channel .

This kind of consumption was too much . To make sure a magical art’s power didn’t drop while going through this long, crus.h.i.+ng channel was too much for him to do repeatedly . If he did, it would affect his combat power, so he hadn’t added any more attacks after the Nine Star Beads .

Even with his powerful physical body, he didn’t dare to test going in . However, Guo Ran was different . He had his armor protecting him . Even if he didn’t succeed, he would at most be injured . He would run as soon as he felt his armor was at its limit .

However, if he succeeded… Long Chen knew Guo Ran far too well . This risk was definitely worth it .

Guo Ran coughed up blood despite his powerful golden armor and his body having been upgraded by the blood essence stone . Just as he felt that he couldn’t hold on any longer and was preparing to turn back, he saw that he wasn’t far from the exit on the other side . There were blood-colored devil creatures packed there .

“This variety hasn’t appeared outside yet . They must be worth a lot of kill points! f.u.c.k, I’m risking it! This suffering will definitely lead to some amazing posing!”

Guo Ran clenched his teeth . Certain pieces of his armor on his b.u.t.t lifted up, and fierce flames spat out of them . He shot out like a cannonball .

The closer he got, the greater the spatial pressure grew . He repeatedly coughed up blood, but he stubbornly persevered .

This channel was extremely strange . Going with the flow was easy, but going against it brought with it an incredible amount of pressure .

“Guo Ran, what makes you so brave? What makes you risk your life to advance? What is your motivation? I’ll tell you, it’s showing off, showing off, showing off! I want to make sure the entire world remembers my name!”

Guo Ran roared, refusing to give up even as his armor began to distort and cracks appeared in his shoulder blades .

Suddenly, with an explosive sound, he reached the end . The terrifying pressure instantly vanished . He was delighted to see that the devil creatures were packed at a greater density than on the other side .

They were crazily attacking the border of the spatial channel, wanting to break its defensive runes . Each time one of its defensive runes shattered, the channel would grow a bit larger, and more of the devil creatures would charge through .

Only once he was through did he see a bunch of blood-colored humanoids . They looked the same size as humans as well . Their bodies were covered in blood runes; they had large claws and were attacking the channel with immense power .

Those devil creatures immediately erupted into furious roars when they saw Guo Ran appear .

“Explode!”

Seeing so many devil creatures charging at him, Guo Ran was shocked and immediately tossed out hundreds of bombs .

Consecutive explosive sounds rang out, blowing the devil creatures to blood mist . At the same time, fragments flew out in every direction . When those fragments pierced the blood-colored humanoids, they let out howls and fell to the ground .

“f.u.c.k, what did I just do? These fragments are so powerful! Ugh, just kill me now!”

Guo Ran had tossed out hundreds of the bombs that Long Chen had told him to keep as trump cards to protect their lives .

Originally, he had made over eight thousand of these bombs . According to Long Chen’s instructions, he was supposed to keep at least three thousand for the worst-case scenario .

However, while he had been showing off, he had forgotten about those instructions . By the time he had remembered, he had only had five hundred-some left .

The other bombs had been used, repeatedly . Hence, they had lost all their killing power . Now, Guo Ran was using half of the precious fresh bombs that hadn’t been used yet, and their power was so immense that all the devil creatures around him were killed . That wasted killing power made Guo Ran want to weep .

“How could you not listen to boss? Guo Ran, you really are a pig!” cursed Guo Ran .

If he had kept his bombs for now, wouldn’t he easily take first place?
