The sight of Luo Honghua disappearing into the toad's stomach terrified everyone. Zheng Quan kept sweating continuously, but he forced himself to calmly ask, "What could I do to guarantee my life?"

"You are an intelligent person, much smarter than Luo Honghua, so you should understand," Li Yunmu replied to him.

After a long while of hesitation, Zheng Quan asked in a decisive tone, "What secret do you want in exchange of my life, so that I can still continue to live on?"

"There's no guarantee. You can only put your trust in me."

"Alright, I will inform you about the passage to return to my plane… Go die!"

Suddenly, Zheng Quan rebelled and rushed to attack him.

Clearly, the word compromise didn't exist in his dictionary. There was no way that an arrogant person like Zheng Quan would accept his loss graciously. Because of that, there was no way he would make any other choice than to make a last attempt to regain his freedom.

Zheng Quan knew that even if Li Yunmu abided by his promise and allowed him to live on the island until he died, what sort of life would that be?

His only option was to attack Li Yunmu. If he succeeded, the unknown shadow life-form would also dissipate or perhaps die. As long as that happened, the island and its inheritance would return to being without any owner. Only then would Zheng Quan have any chance to make something of himself.

Even if such a chance was miniscule, he had to try. With that thought in mind, Zheng Quan used his final trump card and risked his life with it.

However, Li Yunmu wouldn't be defenseless. Zheng Quan understood that the opponent would be vigilant against him, since no one would be so stupid to trust an enemy so soon, but he still had to fight for his chance to survive and follow his ambition. Although his trump cards were very formidable, this was all he could do.

"Li Yunmu, accept your death. You forced me to do this."

Zheng Quan howled loudly, but his figure began to run away from the location.

At that instant, he didn't throw himself at Li Yunmu, but instead began to flee from the location at his top speed, which caused everyone around him to look around in confusion.

Wasn't he going to fight for his life? Then why was he running away crazily?

Only Li Yunmu understood what Zheng Quan was doing at that moment.

"Nuclear power? The legendary forbidden grade energy which was used by humans before the Dark Ages?"

Li Yunmu had been prepared for Zheng Quan's tricks since the start. But when he saw the descender throw out a micro bomb, he was filled with curiosity toward the most powerful energy under human control before Dark Ages.

He knew that this sort of energy had disappeared from the annals of history long ago. Even now the alliance of the six continents prohibited the research into this field because of its destructive power. There was no need in the new age for such energy which was only created for destruction.

The micro nuclear warhead which Zheng Quan had gotten from somewhere might have been really small, but it had the power to destroy the area of a whole mile around itself.

If Li Yunmu didn't have an approximate guess of Zhen Quan's trump cards, then maybe he would've been finished at that instant. Even if he had survived because of his defense and speed, he would've been gravely injured.

But when Zheng Quan triggered the micro bomb, Li Yunmu had already began to act.

He didn't make any large movements, just waved his hand, and the bomb which hadn't yet detonated was sucked into his two sun heavenly world. The next instant, the micro nuclear bomb was frozen by the world power inside.

"External assistance. In the end, everything was external assistance." Li Yunmu gave his evaluation in a calm and collected tone.

Zheng Quan's final weapon was also based on external factors.

But if truth be told, Li Yunmu himself wasn't much different. Azure Dragon Deity Battlesuit, forbidden weapon runic spears, snow guzzle thunder blade, underworld raven sage bow, and so on were all tools which provided external assistance.

Strictly speaking, even the system and shadows were external assistance. It was because of it that Li Yunmu hadn't said those words only for Zheng Quan, but also to make himself aware of it.

Li Yunmu wanted to make sure that he didn't forget this fact and remained alert about not staying dependent on external factors for the rest of his life.

"You, what sort of trick did you use to make the bomb disappear?"

When Zheng Quan had run several hundred meters away from the bomb, but didn't hear it explode, he turned around to see what had happened. At that moment, he suddenly discovered that his trump card had been neutralized.

"What you should understand is that I don't possess the trump cards you do, and you don't possess the trump cards I do."

Li Yunmu laughed. Indeed, Zheng Quan didn't possess his own heavenly world.

Even if he was a very outstanding youngster in his world, things like heavenly worlds didn't grown on trees. Even if his family had one, it wouldn't be a surplus which they could share with Zheng Quan who would be considered too young to possess one.

Because of that, Zheng Quan didn't have a heavenly world.

The reason why Li yunmu possessed one was because he had fought to obtain it for himself. And because his luck had favored him.

"My loss wasn't random. Seems like you are really a terrific character of your world who possesses an extraordinary background."

Zheng Quan didn't flee. His body was surrounded by a shining golden energy cover.

Li Yunmu was certain that it was a very advanced product of dimensional technology which ordinary people couldn't obtain.

That cover would have allowed Zheng Quan to survive the impact of the micro nuclear bomb. From that, it was obvious that the defensive capabilities of that golden cover were extremely great.

It may even be able to surpass Li Yunmu's absolute defense. But the difference between that defensive cover and Li Yunmu's body armor was that Li Yunmu's defense would remain with him all the time while Zheng Quan's could only be used until its energy ran out.

"You are wrong. I am only an ordinary person. But I had my lucky encounters. Alright now, let me witness your final struggle."

After successfully collecting the nuclear bomb, Li Yunmu didn't care about talking nonsense with the opponent and meaningfully looked toward Li Yun.

The next instant, the magnified insect monsters gathered in the vicinity rushed toward Zheng Quan like an ocean tide.

At this time, Li Yunmu experienced that even if Zheng Quan had countless trump cards, under the attack of the magnified insects, all of them were worthless!

Although Zheng Quan kept struggling bitterly, the insect monsters kept rushing toward him unceasingly.

By using all the tricks and trump cards up his sleeve, he managed to survive for an hour. But once he exhausted his bag of tricks, he vanished in an instant, without even his bones remaining behind.
