When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

In the flower bed.

Xiao Xingye heard the father's roar.

He struggled to his feet, using his spear to support himself on the ground, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

"Heh...is this human nature?"

But as he watched the little girl leave unharmed, his eyes remained clear and resolute.

He doesn't regret it!

Because he has already registered as a martial artist with the Martial Arts Association!

He fulfilled the responsibilities of a martial artist!

There's only one thing he regrets now!

That's why I didn't work harder in my cultivation!

If I were strong enough, I wouldn't have been crushed by this beast today!

at this time.

"roar!!!"

The demonic ape roared and leaped up again, charging fiercely towards Xiao Xingye.

It aimed at Xiao Xingye's head, ready to crush this human ant into a pulp with one stomp!

"Hoshino!!!"

Xiao Wan Ning, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and she let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"It's over!"

"I'm going to die."

Xiao Xingye closed his eyes in despair.

however.

At this critical moment!

"Whoosh!!!"

A figure dressed in a blue martial arts uniform rushed over from a distance like lightning, instantly inserting himself between the demonic ape and Xiao Xingye!

"Walk!"

The man steadily supported Xiao Xingye's body as he was about to fall with one hand.

Xiao Xingye opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the other person's handsome face with distinct features.

Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Jiang...Brother Jiang Feng?!"

It's about 200 meters away from the intersection.

Shen Weilan, carrying a three-tiered cake and various birthday gifts, was looking anxiously at the crossroads.

The two were originally just planning to take a taxi home.

Who would have thought that a strange beast would appear in the city center!

When he saw the strange beast appear, Jiang Feng didn't even say a word. He simply stuffed everything he was holding into her arms and rushed forward!

At this moment.

In the center of the battlefield.

Jiang Feng casually shielded the heavily injured Xiao Xingye behind him.

He slowly raised his head and stared at the three-meter-tall bloodthirsty demonic ape in front of him!

Jiang Feng's heart was pounding wildly, and the Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture within his body was operating like a boiling volcano!

Just now, the instant he saw the strange beast, a system notification sounded in his mind.

This is why he chose to act decisively!

[Ding! A special character has been detected interacting with a specific scene! The Emperor's Rebellious Scale quest has been triggered!]

[Background: During the Emperor's youth, a cult, secretly lurking in the shadows, ruthlessly colluded with the Black Mist Beasts to create panic, unleashing a horrific massacre in the center of Linchuan City! After graduating high school, the Emperor chose to join the army in the Northern Frontier, but his father, Jiang Jianguo, was tragically killed in a car attack by the rampaging beasts, torn to pieces along with his vehicle! This became an unhealable wound in the Emperor's heart, and a hatred he could never forgive himself for the rest of his life!]

[The Emperor's Grand Vow: To utterly crush the evil cult! To slaughter all the strange beasts that have offended my Great Xia!!!]

[Mission Requirements: Please eliminate the cultists and alien beasts!]

[Task duration: 1 year.]

[Mission Rewards: For each monster or cultist defeated, the system will provide a generous reward based on the enemy's level and strength!]

[Ding! Current target detected: Peak Tier 2 Beast 'Bloodthirsty Demon Ape'!]

[Note: The host can click on the system panel to view the detailed weaknesses of this beast!]

[First Kill Reward: High-Grade King-Rank Martial Skill: Heaven-Burning Flame Fist!]

Jiang Feng's breathing instantly became heavy.

His eyes gradually became bloodshot!

"Father, to think he would die at the hands of a strange beast!"

His body trembled uncontrollably with rage.

Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; to touch them is certain death!

His family is the one thing he would never allow anyone to harm, even if it cost him his life!

Jiang Feng slowly clenched his fists.

The dark gold skin and pale silver bones complemented each other.

The violent blood energy of a second-grade seventh-star surged into the sky!

"today!"

"I'm going to beat you into a pulp, you beast!!!"

at the same time.

City Martial Arts Association, Secretary-General's Office.

Wang Ye was sitting at his desk, frowning as he reviewed the resource consumption reports for this quarter.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang urgently!

Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he answered the phone.

After listening for only three seconds, he instantly turned pale and stood up abruptly!

"What did you say?!"

"A strange beast has appeared at the city center intersection?!"

Wang Ye's face was filled with horror and disbelief.

Mythical beast?

How is that possible!

The outer defenses of Linchuan City are impregnable; how could a strange beast possibly appear in the city center business district!

He didn't dare hesitate for a moment, hung up the phone, rushed out of the office, and found Chairman Long Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed on a recliner.

"President! Something terrible has happened!"

"A strange beast has appeared in the city center!"

After listening to Wang Ye's report, Long Yuan only frowned slightly, without even fully opening his eyes.

"What's the big deal?"

"The garrison didn't issue any alarms, so it shouldn't be a large-scale invasion by alien beasts."

"It's probably just a low-level beast that escaped from the edge of the black mist. It can't cause any big trouble."

"Take a few second-rank martial artists with you and handle this."

Wang Ye hurriedly nodded in agreement, went downstairs, called on the four second-rank martial artists on duty, turned on the siren, and sped towards the city center.

however!

The car had only driven less than three blocks when a traffic jam appeared ahead!

The city center's transportation network has been paralyzed!

"Damn it! What the hell!"

Wang Ye slammed his fist on the steering wheel, kicked open the car door, jumped out, and roared at the martial artist behind him, "Abandon the car! Run!"

As Wang Ye ran, he secretly envied those fourth-rank grandmasters.

Once you reach the fourth rank, you can transform your blood and qi into true qi.

Transform your true energy into wings and soar through the air!

Why should we have to suffer this traffic jam like monkeys down here!

When Wang Ye arrived at the city center intersection, covered in sweat, he ran into Lei Ming, the city's public security bureau chief, who was also rushing towards him!

Director Lei was also a third-rank martial artist, and his expression was even more gloomy than Wang Ye's.

"Old Wang! This incident is extraordinary!"

"I just spoke with the military defenses, and there have been absolutely no reports of any alien beasts attacking the defenses in the past few days!"

"Moreover, our Skynet system just captured high-definition surveillance footage from before the incident."

"That beast was summoned by someone!"

"The surveillance footage shows a man in black, hidden in the shadows, throwing out a burning playing card, and then the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape suddenly appeared!"

"Playing cards?!"

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran straight to the top of his head!

"Could it be... the Blood Card Society?!"
