I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

A crimson rainbow streaked across the sky and eventually disappeared into the distance.

The terrifying pressure that had been pressing down on everyone's heads also vanished without a trace.

The once desolate ruins now seem to be filled with the sound of wind again.

"Boss... Lord Chixiao... is he really gone?"

Afei swallowed hard and looked at Shen Tian.

"I'm gone."

Shen Tian sat back on the hood of the armored vehicle, his eyes revealing no emotion.

"Then...should we leave too?"

Ah Fei asked tentatively.

The surrounding soldiers also pricked up their ears.

"withdraw?"

Shen Tian tilted his head and looked at A Fei, as if he had heard a joke.

"We're already here, why retreat?"

"But……"

Ah Fei hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He recalled Shen Tian's sudden increase in power.

Could it be that Boss Shen has broken through again and is now able to face the three beast kings alone?

How long has it been!

But now, whether it's Afei or the other warriors of the Po Jun Si.

They all had unconditional trust in Shen Tian, ​​the commander-in-chief who had only been in office for a short time.

Since the General has done this, he must have his reasons!

All they need to do is believe and obey unconditionally!

Shen Tian stretched and adjusted to a more comfortable position, leaning lazily against the windshield.

He pointed to the dark, inky cluster of buildings in the distance.

"Pass down the order."

"The entire army shall rest and reorganize in place."

"Turn on all the searchlights, the brightest ones."

"Also, reheat the broth we didn't finish earlier, everyone keep eating, don't go hungry."

What's meant to come will come.

"We only have one task now."

"That is... waiting for customers to come to the door."

Deep in the occupied territory.

This is a long-abandoned underground shopping mall.

The once bustling commercial center is now covered by a thick carpet of fungi and an unknown slime, emitting a nauseating stench.

The enormous atrium has now become a conference room for three colossal figures.

The air was so thick it felt like it could drip water.

"This is outrageous!"

A sharp screech shattered the silence.

The speaker was a giant bird, entirely golden in color, with wings as sharp as blades—the Golden Dragon Falcon.

Its sharp eagle eyes were now burning with humiliating rage.

"That human brat actually dared to lead thousands of two-legged beasts to set up camp less than 50 kilometers from us!"

"What is this? This is a blatant provocation!"

"They don't respect the dignity of us three Beast Kings!"

The golden dragon falcon's sharp claws dug deep into the cement pillar, turning the hard concrete into powder like tofu.

As the overlord that rules this airspace, when has it ever suffered such humiliation?

Normally, it's the one who runs wild on human territory. When did it become the human's turn to treat it like a coward and humiliate it by blocking the doorway?

In the shadows.

A giant python with scales gleaming with a cold, black light slowly coiled around its body.

The Hellish Black-Scaled Python flicked its tongue.

"Calm down, old bird."

"The more arrogant and provocative they are, the more it confirms our previous assessment!"

"This is their trap!"

"They're probably just hoping we're blinded by anger and rush in now!"

Upon hearing this...

The originally irritable Golden Dragon Falcon suddenly seemed to have its neck grabbed, and all its anger was suppressed.

"That old bastard Chixiao is indeed troublesome."

In the corner, a constantly writhing black shadow slowly opened its mouth.

That's a shadow demon.

"Humans love playing these kinds of tricks that involve deception and deception."

"The more arrogant and ostentatious they are, the deeper the trap they've dug."

"If we rush out now, we'll be playing right into Chi Xiao's hands."

"That old man's sword hasn't drunk the blood of the Beast King in a long time."

The golden dragon falcon flapped its wings irritably.

"So we're just going to stand by and watch?"

"Watching them picnic right under our noses?"

"Tolerate."

The Hellish Black Scale Python coldly uttered a single word.

There's an old saying that goes, "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan."

"Chixiao can't stay here forever."

"As soon as he leaves, that fourth-tier brat will be meat on the chopping block."

The three-headed beast king reached a consensus.

For beasts, the most important thing is to be pragmatic.

Time passed by, second by second.

The sky outside changed from midnight to dawn, and then fell back into darkness.

Instead of retreating, the human army turned their searchlights even brighter.

Although the three-headed beast king was frustrated, he still patiently observed from the shadows.

until……

The arrival of that turning point.

"etc."

The shadow demon, which had been silent all along, suddenly raised its head, and the dark shape trembled violently.

"What's wrong?"

The other two beast kings immediately became alert.

"The aura of Chixiao... has stirred."

The Shadow Demons sensed that the terrifying blood energy that had been weighing on their hearts like a sword hanging over their heads suddenly surged into the sky.

then……

It is moving at an astonishing speed in a direction away from the occupied area.

"What is he going to do?"

Jin Guanglongjun was a little nervous.

"Are you planning to flank us and ambush us?"

"No."

The Shadow Demon's tone carried a hint of disbelief.

"He flew very high and very fast, without any concealment."

"That direction... is Jiangcheng."

"Did he go back?"

The three-headed beast kings looked at each other in bewilderment.

Going back at this time?

Is he really just here for a trip, and casually dropping that kid off on his way?

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

The Hellscale Python remained cautious.

"Humans are cunning and treacherous; they might be feigning a retreat while actually lying in ambush, waiting for us to show ourselves."

then.

The three-headed beast king survived for another half hour.

During this half hour.

The Shadow Demon separated into wisps of shadow, spreading through the darkness, probing for all information related to Crimson Sky.

Until Chi Xiao's aura completely disappeared from its perception range, and even that faint pressure completely dissipated.

really gone.

"Confirmed."

The Shadow Demon's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"That old man is really gone."

"Now, there is no trace of anyone at the half-step sixth rank in the entire occupied area."

Followed by.

It was a burst of uncontrollable, ecstatic laughter.

"Hehehe..."

Golden Dragon Falcon let out an unpleasant, eerie laugh.

"He left? He actually dared to leave?"

"You're just going to dump these few thousand people right in front of us?"

A greedy glint appeared in the Hellfire Black Scale Python's cold, serpentine eyes.

"Something's not right."

Although the Shadow Demon was also excited, its years of caution made it subconsciously think one step further.

"How could that old fox Chixiao make such a basic mistake?"

"Throwing a fourth-tier kid into a wolf's den is practically suicide!"

"unless……"

The Shadow Demon seemed to have suddenly realized something, and his tone became playful.

"Unless, this was that kid's own idea."

"Oh?"

The other two beast kings looked at it.

"Look at that human boy's age."

The Shadow Demon's analysis was very logical and insightful.

"He was only eighteen or nineteen years old."

"Humans at this age are most arrogant and ignorant of their own limitations."

"Although he was only at the fourth level, he killed a lot of low-level beasts along the way, and even killed two fourth-level idiots."

"This made him arrogant."

"He thought he was capable."

"He felt he was strong enough that he didn't need Chixiao's protection and could face us alone."

The more the Shadow Demon spoke, the more he felt he had touched upon the truth.

That makes perfect sense!

Why did Chixiao leave?

They must have been driven away by that arrogant brat!

Or perhaps this kid, in order to claim all the credit for himself and to prove that he wasn't a hothouse flower, forcibly drove Chixiao away.

They've seen this kind of "genius" mentality all too many times.

Often, the one who dies the fastest is the self-righteous protagonist.

"All brawn and no brains."

The Hellscale Python chuckled and gave its final conclusion.

"Does he think the gap between the fourth and fifth tiers can be bridged by courage alone?"

"Or does he think the three of us at the peak of the fifth tier are made of paper?"

"madness."

The Golden Dragon Falcon could no longer contain its killing intent; it spread its wings, creating a gust of wind.

"Since he's courting death, then so be it."

"It's been a long time since I've tasted the flesh and blood of such a prodigy."

"That kind of flavor, full of spirit and arrogance, must be delicious."

The three beast kings exchanged a glance.

The pent-up frustration that had been suppressed for so long transformed into the most brutal killing intent at this moment.

This is more than just a hunt.

It was also a revenge to wash away the shame.

They want that human kid to know.

Even so-called geniuses.

In the face of absolute power and realm suppression, it is nothing but a joke.

The Shadow Demon emitted a mental fluctuation that instantly covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

"All beasts, assemble!"

"Objective: Abandoned stadium."

"Tear those humans to shreds, leave no one alive!"

"roar--!!!"

As the will of the Beast King descended.

The entire core area of ​​the occupied zone was in an uproar.

Countless strange beasts lurking in the shadows emerged from the ruins, the sewers, and the shadows of tall buildings.

Densely packed, like a black tide.

The ground vibrations could be clearly felt even from more than ten kilometers away.

This is a true beast tide.

And the instigators of all this were the three Beast Kings.

He was standing atop the highest ruins, looking down at the human camp.

The human boy sitting on the hood of the armored vehicle maintained that lazy posture.

She was even holding a bowl of steaming hot meat soup in her hand.

"Look!"

"It's Jin Guanglongjun," he said mockingly.

"Even when death is imminent, he's still pretending to be profound."

"He doesn't really think he can stop our onslaught with just a few thousand ordinary soldiers, does he?"

The Shadow Demon sneered.

The three-headed beast king checked it one last time.

There is no Chixiao.

There was no ambush.

There was only a brat who had just broken through to the fourth rank and was ignorant of his own limitations, leading a group of equally ignorant soldiers.

This was a free win for the team.

It was a massacre that required no brainpower.

"Let's get started."

The Hellscale Python flicked out its scarlet tongue.

"Don't keep our dinner waiting too long."
