"Old Duan, what are those Sky Demon Cultists trying to do?" Cheng Dongfeng barked. "Those bastards are getting more and more out of hand over the last two years, colluding with Ferals and wreaking havoc everywhere. Could they be thinking of conquering Lingzhou City?"
Duan Tianhe's gaze twitched then and he said somberly, "That might not be impossible. The Sky Demon Cult has the support of the Sky Demons, who are ambitious and eyeing Earth covetously. If not for certain restraints, they would have long since launched a full-scale invasion.
"That being said …"
Duan Tianhe's tone changed then and he chuckled. "The Sky Demon Cultists are nothing but a bunch of clowns if their elites cannot descend. It's only because they're hiding in the shadows that every nation in the world would greet them with a bunch of nuclear warheads at once if they dared to show themselves."
"Be that as it may, the Sky Demon Cultists are stirring up trouble everywhere and we must be on our guard. What's more, dozens of their elite cultists and two grandmasters — the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General — have fallen in Lingzhou City, and I'm afraid their elites wouldn't let this slide."
"That's fine."
Duan Tianhe said. "Xibei has elites watching over it too and could provide aid at any time. What we need to do is to help the military set up electric fence fortifications as soon as possible and move the citizens inside. When that happens, Mount Dadong's forces would be freed."
Even as the two conversed, Su Ze rushed inside in a panic.
Cheng Dongfeng was fuming at the sight of Su Ze. The wretch almost got him killed, and so glared fiercely at him and barked, "What's with the panic?"
Su Ze shuddered.
He felt goosebumps every time he saw Cheng Dongfeng.
He calmed himself down and said, "Martial Uncle Cheng, Chief Duan, I just received news that some people found small groups of Ferocious Beasts around Jinji Town, and there are also Ferocious Beasts in East Tower Town.
"What?"
Duan Tianhe's expression changed and he quickly rose to his feet. "Both Jinji Town and East Tower Town are close to Lingzhou City, and the military had already swept the area. Why would Ferals suddenly appear?"
"Quick, notify everyone and call for an emergency meeting. Also, contact Mu Wanqiu — she has some elites on her side that we could borrow."
Su Ze nodded and was about to leave when his phone rang.
He picked up the phone, and Li Fei's frantic voice came through the phone. "Su Ze, I'm requesting for backup. I'm requesting for backup. I don't know where these beasts came from, but they're rampaging in the farm next to my house … F * ck …"
Du du du du!
The line went dead.
Duan Tianhe's eyes narrowed and he growled, "Contact Jiang He and ask for his help!"
…
At Jiang He's house.
Having had his fill, Jiang He happily lay down in his sports car.
He turned on his phone and was just about to browse through some short videos when Duan Tianhe's call came in.
Jiang He's expression changed when he answered the call, and even before hanging up, he growled, "Activate autopilot. Target: Li Fei's Breeding Union at the east end of the village."
"What?"
Duan Tianhe did not catch it clearly, but Jiang He said, "It's nothing. My car is self-driving and needs a voice command to start. Alright, enough nonsense."
Jiang He promptly hung up.
Boom!
The engine roared.
The sports car sped away, and Jiang He sighed as he stared at the 280km/h speed displayed on the screen. "It's too slow. It's not even as fast as my running speed … what a shame that this is just a sports car, not a flying car."
Soon.
He arrived at Li Fei's farm.
Li Fei's parents and wife were not staying there, but there were dozens of employees in the factory. Three of them were already lying in a pool of blood, while the rest were hiding behind Li Fei, shuddering.
Among the dozen Ferals, one of them was a tank-sized boar with sharp fangs. It was grunting as it slowly approached Li Fei, while the other Ferals were tearing at the cows and sheep in the farm.
Li Fei held an alloy long rod in his hand and stared at the wild boar. He said in a deep voice, "Brother Pig, I know that you beasts have gained intelligence and can understand my words. You can just eat some cattle and sheep. Don't hurt my employees."
The boar continued to grunt.
As it slowly approached, one of the employees behind Li Fei finally could not hold it in anymore and screamed before running away.
"No!"
Li Fei cried out in surprise. At this juncture, anyone who ran would be targeted by the Feral!
Sure enough, the huge body of the wild boar turned around and rushed towards the employee who was screaming and running away.
Kaboom!
The earth quaked.
The rank-three boar weighed over three tons and was like a road roller as it ran, tearing the hardened pavement into pieces.
It was slow compared to other Ferals of the same rank, but was it just a notch faster than a normal human?
Li Fei's superpower burst out of his alloy staff, his arms bulging with muscle as he swung his staff at the boar.
Bang!
Even so, the blow did not have any effect. With a dull thud, Li Fei was sent flying by the recoil instead.
Li Fei rolled up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he growled, but he could do nothing.
The boar was less than five meters away from the fleeing employee.
It would catch up in just a second.
Those sharp fangs could pierce through a person with just a light prick.
That was when …
Boom!
The rumble of an engine could be heard from the distance, and two beams of headlights were blinding in the dark.
The boar appeared to be startled and actually gave up on chasing the employee. Instead, it snorted a few times and ran towards Jiang He's sports car.
Its four hooves ran wildly, the earth rumbling as it stomped, its sharp fangs glinting in a faint golden luster.
“？？？”
On the sports car.
Jiang He was stunned.
What?
Was this … a head-on collision?
"Stop, stop!"
Sparks were flying out of the tires of the sports car as it sped along, forcing it to a stop. While it was just a rank-three boar and would not cause any damage to his sports car, how unlucky would it be if its blood splashed all over the car?
Even so, the boar did not stop even after the sports car stopped.
It was now less than fifty meters away from the sports car, and was running even more energetically.
Jiang He opened the car door and got off, killing the boar with a palm strike of Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse from the distance. Cursing, he dashed towards the farm.
In a dozen seconds, the dozen Ferals were all dead.
Jiang He turned and walked towards Li Fei.
Spitting a mouthful of blood, Li Fei flashed a pained smile. "Old Jiang, it's good that you came in time, or we would all die here … eh?"
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, Li Fei's eyes tightened!
He saw a black shadow darting out of his farm!
The black shadow was heading straight for Jiang He's back.
Jiang He promptly turned, but it was too late. The black shadow's palm had struck Jiang He's chest, and with a loud bang, Jiang He's body was sent flying high into the air, flying over thirty meters before crashing beneath Li Fei's feet.
"Jiang He!"
Li Fei yelled and lunged at Jiang He.
With the dim light of the distant street lamps, Li Fei could see that Jiang He's nose was bleeding, and his chest had caved in from the blow. Li Fei was at once heartbroken, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. Holding Jiang He's head in his arms, he shook him and called out repeatedly —
"Jiang He!"
"Nothing must happen to you, Jiang He. Don't die …"
Then, the black shadow stepped out under the light of the street lamps.
Standing around 1.8 meters tall and skinny, he wore a dark golden mask that revealed only his nose, eyes, and mouth. His mouth did not move, but a cold, sinister laugh could be heard. "A piece of trash like that could actually kill the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General?"
