Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

"Mad Tiger, this is a distinguished guest whom General Dragon personally sent to bring back. Are you sure?" Qiao Fang's face was extremely gloomy.

"Dragon General—"

Upon hearing this, the mad tiger gasped for breath.

Gan!

Colonel Feng didn't tell him that these were General Long's guests!

Mad Tiger cursed inwardly.

However, he still did not back down. Having already sided with Colonel Feng, he had no way out.

"Deputy General Qiao, even if they are General Long's guests, they can't use General Long's name to intimidate others, can they?"

"These people are my mortal enemies."

Mad Tiger led about three hundred men and surrounded Lin Yu and his group, along with a hundred soldiers.

"Cao—"

Just as Xiong Ba was about to get angry, Lin Yu stopped him.

He wanted to see how Qiao Fang would handle the situation; his attitude, or rather, Long Jiang's attitude, would affect his next plans.

"Mad Tiger, do you want to die?"

Qiao Fang's entire body began to surge with magical power.

"Vice General Qiao, our Mad Tiger Mercenary Group has no intention of being enemies with General Dragon, nor would we dare. However, please give us a chance to seek justice, otherwise it will damage General Dragon's reputation, won't it?"

Mad Tiger's eyes darted around, and he said, "You don't want word to spread that the Dragon General is protecting his own people and bullying other weaker survivors, do you?"

Although his tone softened, the threat in his words was self-evident.

"Mad Tiger, I think you really want to die!"

Qiao Fang shouted, "Everyone, on high alert! Escort General Long's guests to the central base. Anyone who obstructs us will be killed on sight!"

Although he didn't know Lin Yu and the others' identities, the Dragon General's orders were more important than his own life.

"yes!"

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers were roused and ready.

A crowd had already gathered around, whispering among themselves.

"Have the Mad Tiger Mercenary Group lost their minds? They actually dared to surround Deputy General Qiao?"

"What do you know? It's said that the Mad Tiger Mercenary Group has already pledged allegiance to Colonel Feng, so naturally they're not afraid of Deputy General Qiao."

"Hey, these are very sensitive times. It wouldn't be good if the two sides started fighting."

"Yes, although General Long commands a large army, Colonel Feng is no pushover either. He has gathered many talented evolved individuals under his command. If a war really breaks out, will Star City still be safe?"

The people around were somewhat panicked.

Originally, after Long took over Star City, he quickly transformed it into what it is today, and the zombies in the city were also eliminated very quickly, which is why Star City has continued to prosper.

Later, however, without the constraints of the law, more and more people who had awakened their talents began to do evil.

The dragons will have to create a new set of rules to govern the evolved beings.

But once you have the power, how many people are willing to be bound by other people's rules?

Thus, Colonel Feng's power gradually grew to its current state, almost rivaling that of General Long.

One city, two kings.

The army under General Long was almost entirely disciplined and maintained the duties of soldiers.

Colonel Feng's forces consisted partly of corrupt military personnel and mostly of various evolved individuals. They were somewhat restrained within Star City, but once they left the city, they did whatever they pleased.

"Damn it, who exactly are these people? They've kept Qiao Fang from revealing anything until now."

Mad Tiger's expression was grim and uncertain.

Both he and his opponent were A-level experts, but his men were not only numerous, but each one was an elite, far stronger than the hundred soldiers.

He couldn't understand why Qiao Fang didn't back down at all in this situation.

A thought of retreat immediately crossed the mad tiger's mind.

Just then, someone next to him came over and said, "Boss, things have come to this point, we have no choice but to do it, otherwise we might not be able to explain it to Colonel Feng."

Upon hearing this, Kuanghu steeled his resolve and roared, "Since Deputy General Qiao intends to protect my enemy, then I have no choice but to offend him."

"kill!"

He waved his hand, and his henchmen rushed forward instantly.

"Protect our esteemed guests!"

Qiao Fang also shouted loudly and went straight to meet the mad tiger.

"Colonel Feng is about to completely break ties with General Long."

"Every member of the Mad Tiger Mercenary Group is a master. Vice General Qiao and his men will probably all die. When that happens, the world will truly collapse."

"Just who are those people that Vice General Qiao would protect them at all costs? It's a pity they'll be dead soon too."

"We're doomed, Star City is going to be in chaos, let's run!"

The people around them had lost all interest in watching the show and were now in a panic.

"The time is almost right, let's get to work."

Lin Yu slapped Xiong Ba on the head, and in a flash, he charged into the crowd.

He wielded a flaming blade and with a single slash, instantly killed five people, causing the onrushing attackers to retreat in terror.

"Holy crap! This guy is a fire-type talent user, at least an A-rank."

"You guys hold Qiao Fang off, I'm going to kill him!"

Mad Tiger also saw this scene, and his expression hardened.

His target was only Lin Yu and his group; his war with Qiao Fang was a last resort. In truth, he didn't want things to escalate too much with Long Jiang, since no one could predict the future.

He needs to leave himself a way out.

If we can quickly take down Lin Yu and his group, then a battle can be avoided.

"A-grade fire-type talent?"

A sinister smile appeared on Mad Tiger's face: "Kid, you're unlucky to have offended Colonel Feng. Today, I'll show you the power of an S-class talent."

As he spoke, his muscles bulged and veins stood out, and the explosive force ripped his clothes apart.

A black leopard-print tail ripped through his pants and emerged from behind.

In just a few seconds, Mad Tiger transformed into the shape of a leopard, except that his head remained the same, though a lot of black fur grew on his face.

At this moment, black magic emanated from his body.

"This is the beast transformation ability of the Mad Tiger, which transforms it into a Shadow Leopard. It is extremely fast and can also transform into a shadow."

"That guy's dead meat!"

Those onlookers who hadn't run far enough couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for Lin Yu upon witnessing this scene.

In the arena, two cheetah shadows split from beneath the mad tiger's feet, rushing forward at high speed and instantly reaching Lin Yu's feet, firmly binding Lin Yu's feet to the ground.

"Kid, I'll break your arm first!"

Seeing that the cheetah shadow had succeeded, Mad Tiger smiled and charged forward.

Lin Yu stared at the raging tiger, which was rapidly approaching like a ghost, and remained motionless, as if he were paralyzed with fear.

"Oh no, that person was completely terrified."

"I bet the next moment, Mad Tiger will tear his arm off."

however.

The scene that everyone had imagined did not occur.

Just as the raging tiger's leopard claws were about to grab Lin Yu's arm, Lin Yu moved. No one saw his movement clearly; they only saw a beast-like arm fly out.

"That... seems to be the arm of a mad tiger!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.
