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

The Li family mansion, a secret underground room.

There are no opulent decorations here; the surrounding walls are made of some kind of dark red rock.

If you look closely, you can see dark red liquid slowly seeping out from the cracks in the rocks, as if it's breathing.

In the center of the secret room, there is a long table.

Li Tiannan, the head of the Li family, sat in the first seat.

He is a middle-aged man in his fifties who usually presents himself as a refined and approachable philanthropist in front of the media.

But at the moment.

The whites of his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a murky, dark yellow. Under the skin of his neck, it seemed as if countless tiny worms were wriggling wildly, occasionally bulging out into hideous fleshy lumps.

"call……"

Li Tiannan picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the thick, scarlet liquid inside in one gulp.

That's not red wine.

It is the essence blood just extracted from the heart of a third-tier alien beast.

"This feeling... is just wonderful."

Li Tiannan closed his eyes, a blissful smile on his face.

As the blood entered his throat, the bulges on his body slowly subsided, replaced by a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.

Early stage of the fifth rank.

And it's still climbing.

"Master Li, your adaptability is even better than I expected."

Across the long table sat a figure completely shrouded in a black robe.

The man stretched out a pale, almost transparent hand and gently tapped the table.

"Once you take this step, you will no longer be that useless person who has been stuck at a bottleneck for more than ten years."

"You will gain immortality and power."

"To become a true member of our vampire clan."

Li Tiannan suddenly opened his eyes, his dark yellow pupils filled with greed and fanaticism.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency."

"Once that plan is completed, the entire Jiangcheng will be offered as a sacrifice to Lord Blood Ancestor."

The black-robed messenger let out a sinister laugh.

"How's Li Zihao doing?"

When this name was mentioned, Li Tiannan's smile widened.

"Don't worry, that kid was lucky; he actually managed to perfectly fuse with the adult's piece of sacred flesh."

"I spared no expense to help him break through as soon as possible."

"He was fed a whole twelve talented students."

Li Tiannan licked his lips, his tone devoid of any remorse.

"Those students have extremely high purity of blood and flesh."

"According to the schedule, he should be able to finish the last batch of 'feed' tonight."

"When that time comes, as soon as he breaks through to the fifth rank..."

Li Tiannan clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking loudly.

"Me, you, and Zihao."

"Three full-fledged fifth-tier experts!"

"With a coordinated attack from within and without, even if that old bastard Qin Zhenshan has a knife, I can still twist his head off!"

At this point, Li Tiannan was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

For many years, although the Li family was one of the four great families, it was always overshadowed by the Po Jun Si.

Especially Qin Zhenshan, that stubborn old man, who wouldn't listen to either soft or hard tactics, almost uncovered the Li family's underground business several times.

He'd had enough of this stifling life!

"Once we take Jiangcheng, we can use it as a base and turn its million inhabitants into food..."

The black-robed messenger said in a low voice:

This is an immense achievement; when the Blood Ancestor descends to bestow blessings, your bloodline might even be elevated to the rank of Earl.

"count……"

Li Tiannan was breathing rapidly.

That's a noble bloodline that's said to grant immortality!

What does it matter if a few poor students are sacrificed in the end?

Even if it means killing everyone in Jiangcheng, it would be worth it as long as it makes him a god!

Just as the two were immersed in their beautiful fantasy.

Rumbling--

A violent tremor suddenly came from above.

Then came the piercing alarm.

"Um?"

Li Tiannan frowned, and the dark yellow light in his eyes instantly turned fierce.

"What happened?"

"Who would dare cause trouble at the Li family's house so late at night?"

Before he could get angry...

The door to the secret room was kicked open.

The steward of the Li family rushed in, tumbling and crawling, his face pale and covered in sweat.

"Family...owner!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

Li Tiannan snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure instantly pressed the manager to the ground.

"What's the panic? Is the sky falling down?"

The steward lay on the ground, trembling all over.

"It really collapsed..."

"The Po Jun Division... the Po Jun Division's men have arrived!"

"And it was a full-scale attack! Hundreds of armored vehicles completely surrounded our mansion; not even a mosquito could escape!"

boom!

The wine glass in Li Tiannan's hand was instantly crushed to pieces.

A shard of glass pierced his palm, but not a drop of blood flowed out; the wound healed instantly.

He suddenly stood up, his face filled with disbelief.

"Po Jun Si?"

"Are they crazy?!"

The black-robed envoy who had remained calm sat up straight, his tone turning icy.

"Has the plan been exposed?"

"Li Tiannan, didn't you say that school was impregnable?"

Li Tiannan's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

He forced himself to calm down, his mind racing.

"impossible."

"It is absolutely impossible for them to be exposed."

Li Tiannan paced back and forth in the room, his tone resolute.

"I've arranged a full eighteen patrol teams and a disruption barrier at the Third Martial Arts Academy."

"All the surveillance cameras are in my control; I even have to check the sex of a fly that flies in."

"Moreover, those students were so scared that they wouldn't dare to call the police even if they had a hundred lives."

"Besides, even if someone does call the police, they will be intercepted by our informants at the police station immediately."

The more Li Tiannan listened, the more he realized how reasonable it made sense.

He turned his head and looked at the steward on the ground.

Has there been any news from the school?

The manager paused for a moment, quickly took out his phone to check, and then shook his head.

"No...no abnormalities reported."

"That's right!"

Li Tiannan slammed his hand on the table, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"As long as nothing happens to Li Zihao, we won't have any leverage over him!"

"The Po Jun Division's operation this time was so high-profile, yet there was no search warrant."

What does this mean?

The black-robed messenger seemed to be deep in thought:

"Does this mean they're bluffing?"

"That's right!"

A glint of light flashed in Li Tiannan's eyes, giving him a wise and insightful look.

"I heard that the Po Jun Division just got a new commander-in-chief today."

"He's probably just a naive young fool who's never seen the world and wants to use our Li family to establish his authority."

"That is, the so-called 'new broom sweeps clean' when a new official takes office."

"Hmph, how childish."

At this point, Li Tiannan sat back down in his chair, straightened his collar, and regained his composure as a person in a superior position.

If it were that old fox Qin Zhenshan, he might still be somewhat wary.

But a new, inexperienced kid?

You think you're worthy of fighting him?

"Since they want to play, I'll play a big game with them."

A glint of malice flashed in Li Tiannan's eyes.

"housekeeper."

"exist!"

"Contact all our relationships in the media immediately."

"Whether it's TV stations, newspapers, or online influencers, call them all over!"

"Have them bring their weapons, even helicopters, fly over here!"

The butler was taken aback:

"Master, is it appropriate to call reporters at this time?"

"idiot!"

Li Tiannan cursed.

"The Po Jun Division besieged law-abiding citizens, broke into their homes without any evidence, and restricted their personal freedom."

"This is huge news!"

"I want everyone in Jiangcheng, no, everyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom, to see this!"

"I'll crush them with public opinion!"

The more Li Tiannan thought about it, the more perfect the plan seemed.

As long as we can buy time.

Just stir up the water.

Po Jun Si didn't dare to actually make a move.

After all, they are official institutions, and what they fear most is public pressure.

These precious few hours were enough for Li Zihao to finish off the last bit of "feed" and achieve a breakthrough.

When Li Zihao reaches the fifth rank...

Ha ha.

At that time, it won't be the Po Jun Division besieging the Li family.

Instead, the Li family massacred the Po Jun Division!

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."

The black-robed messenger let out a sinister laugh.

"Master Li is indeed a master strategist."

"Then let them stand guard outside. We also need some time to make final preparations."

Li Tiannan smiled smugly.

He walked to the monitor screen in the secret room, looking at the rows of dark armored vehicles on the screen with disdain.

"That new commander-in-chief is probably still dreaming of finding incriminating evidence against me and getting promoted, right?"

"What a pity."

"You are destined to become the stepping stone for the rise of my Li family."

"I wonder what kind of expression that idiot would have if he knew that the incriminating evidence he's been so desperately searching for—Li Zihao—would soon become a fifth-tier god who could slap him to death?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Tiannan's arrogant laughter echoed in the secret room.

He was very confident.

So confident was he that he didn't even think to contact Li Zihao to confirm the situation.

after all.

That was a fourth-tier peak demon, with so many subordinates guarding him, to deal with a few students who couldn't even kill a chicken.

This is like letting a tiger eat at a buffet in a chicken coop.

What kind of unexpected event could happen?

There is absolutely no possibility of an accident.
