The beast king's roar made the wild beasts pause for a moment.
The beast king that was fighting the Fierce Fire Ape couldn't help but turn around when it heard the roar. Ignoring the Fierce Fire Ape, the beast king turned around and looked back.
"Beast king!"
At the same time, Su Ping noticed the Swamp War Crocodile as well. The Swamp War Crocodile was about to kill the Fierce Fire Ape he had sold. Su Ping's eyes turned cold.
Charge!!
Behind him, three summoning vortexes suddenly appeared!
Roar!!
The Inferno Dragon was the first to come out. Flames of the Inferno Dragon swept over the wild beasts. The Inferno Dragon landed on the ground!
The Inferno Dragon had sensed Su Ping's will and anger. The Inferno Dragon dashed into the crowd of wild beasts. It waved its claws and started a killing spree!
At the same time, the Dark Dragon Hound and the Purple Python came out one after another. They dashed toward the wild beasts on both sides, like wolves in a flock of sheep!
Su Ping rode the Swamp War Crocodile toward the beast king!
The beast king seemed to have sensed the ferocity of the Swamp War Crocodile. The beast king bellowed in protest. However, the Swamp War Crocodile didn't stop. The beast king seemed to have been enraged as well. It slapped the ground and many sharp stone pillars rose up. The stone pillars were over a hundred meters long and there were so many of them that they looked like spears!
The Swamp War Crocodile roared. It slapped the ground with its front paws and the ground rolled up!
The ground rolled up like a huge wall, colliding with the huge spear. In an instant, both sides were smashed into pieces, and the scattered boulders rolled in all directions, causing quite a bit of damage to the herd of beasts nearby.
That was a battle between beast kings. It was earth-shattering!
Roar!!
The Swamp War Crocodile felt that its dignity had been challenged. Its ferocious eyes were filled with blood. The Swamp War Crocodile sped up all of a sudden. It was as if an earthquake had occurred. The Swamp War Crocodile stomped on the ground, creating many pits that were several meters deep.
The Swamp War Crocodile had reached the beast king in an instant.
King meeting king!
The beast king opened its mouth and extended its limbs toward the Swamp War Crocodile. The tough tentacles that had been wrapped around the Fierce Fire Ape were also aimed at the Swamp War Crocodile's eyes.
But the Swamp War Crocodile ignored the beast king's warning and rammed into the beast king.
Bang!!
That beast king was knocked away. The beast king's sharp claws had landed on the Swamp War Crocodile. However, the Swamp War Crocodile's skin remained intact, as if it was made of armor. There were only some light scratches!
"Go!"
On the back of the Swamp War Crocodile, Su Ping grabbed Qin Shuhai and leaped into the air when the crocodile crashed into the ground.
While they were in the air, the two beast kings started fighting again. The Swamp War Crocodile was fast. It bit half of the beast king's head. Its sharp teeth tore open the beast king's scales and the rough skin on its shoulders. Blood oozed out from the wound!
Crocodile Twist!
Pff!
The Swamp War Crocodile rolled over, displaying its agility and strength. Blood sprayed out. Half of the beast king's head was bitten off!
"Roar!!!"
The beast king's cry of agony was heard by all the wild beasts!
While the beast king was screaming, the Swamp War Crocodile did not stop. The Swamp War Crocodile turned around and lashed out with its thick tail.
Hammer Strike!
Bang!
The thick end of the tail lashed at the beast king, which was dozens of meters tall. The beast king was sent tumbling away!
After rolling four or five times, because of the injury to his head, blood spurted out continuously along the way, dying the ground red!
Roar!!
The Swamp War Crocodile bellowed!
Energy surged out of the beast king's body. The ground trembled. Many sharp stone pillars rose from the ground and pierced through the beast king. The beast king's body was pierced through by the stone pillars, as if it had been stabbed by spears!
Blood dyed the stone pillars red.
The cry stopped. The beast king had died on the spot!
"Roar!!"
The Swamp War Crocodile raised its head to the sky and bellowed, announcing its victory!
Everyone on the outer wall of the base city was astonished by the battle.
The battle ended quickly. That beast king, which had been their biggest threat, was killed by Su Ping's beast king in the blink of an eye!
It was a one-sided slaughter!
Everyone was shocked as they stared at the beast king's body that had been pierced through by the stone pillars.
This kind of primordial battle that was filled with power allowed them to truly see what was called invincible power!
Xie Jinshui, Qin Duhuang, and the others could not believe what they had seen.
They were both beast kings. How could they be so different?!
Horrifying!
Everyone was speechless as they stared at the giant crocodile that no beast dared to approach.
"Clean it up!"
Su Ping sent a message to the Swamp War Crocodile as soon as he saw the beast roaring.
The Swamp War Crocodile didn't like the fact that Su Ping was ruining its fun. The Swamp War Crocodile shook its head. Soon, the Swamp War Crocodile turned around and glared at the wild beasts.
The wild beasts moved aside as soon as they sensed the beast king's presence. The wild beasts were running for their lives! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The Swamp War Crocodile roared and charged forward like a giant tank. In an instant, it pushed forward and trampled some high-level Demonic Beasts to death!
Seeing the Swamp War Crocodile and the Inferno Dragon, Su Ping flew to the outer wall of the base city. He immediately noticed Xie Jinshui, Qin Duhuang, and the others. After all, they were all titled battle pet warriors. They were quite eye-catching.
"Those wild beasts haven't reached the base city yet, have they?"
Su Ping asked.
"Mr. Su, you came back just in time!" Xie Jinshui exclaimed in excitement.
That was the benefit of having a legendary battle pet warrior in the base city!
Otherwise, how could the distant water quench the immediate thirst?
If the Longjiang Base City had been breached before the reinforcements arrived, his job as mayor would have been over!
Qin Duhuang, who was usually able to keep a straight face, found it hard to hide the joy on his face. If it weren't for Su Ping, his Fierce Fire Ape would have been in grave danger!
If it were any other ninth-rank pets, they would have been killed before they could even put up a fight!
"Mr. Su, I thank you on behalf of my pet!" Qin Duhuang said with sincerity.
He was truly grateful to Su Ping.
He would remember this favor in his heart.
"Mr. Su." Zhou Tianlin greeted Su Ping as well. He no longer held any grudges against the young man who had once stepped into the Zhou Family alone. Instead, he was overwhelmed with emotions.
Su Ping nodded to Zhou Tianlin.
"The east side is where the wild beasts mainly attack. If we can hold this place, we can hold the other three sides as well. If it weren't for Mr. Su, the Longjiang Base City would have been in grave danger. None of us could have stopped that beast king." Xie Jinshui wanted to hold Su Ping's hand and express his gratitude, but he didn't want to do so. He rubbed his hands together, forgetting his usual image of a mayor.
"Good."
Su Ping breathed in relief. It was good that the Longjiang Base City hadn't been breached.
There was a reason why he had come back in such a hurry.
His mother was in the store and the system was protecting her. That being said, there were many people in the Longjiang Base City who were his customers. Some of them were regular customers and Su Ping would chat with them. They were sort of friends. While they weren't friends, Su Ping couldn't bear to see them sacrificing themselves in front of him.
"With Mr. Su here, we don't have to be afraid of the wild beasts!" Zhou Tianlin said with a smile. Previously, they had been feeling gloomy. Now that the gloomy clouds had dispersed, they were all excited. They didn't think too much about it.
Qin Duhuang nodded. He had felt desperate when the Fierce Fire Ape was almost killed. He hadn't felt that way for many years.
Su Ping smiled. He turned around and looked at the wild beasts outside the wall. "We'll catch up later. Now that the beast king is dead, let's drive the wild beasts away!"
"Sure!"
Qin Duhuang agreed at once.
"Yes!"
Zhou Tianlin nodded as well.
Without the beast king, they didn't have to worry so much. They could go out and kill the wild beasts themselves!
"Kill them!"
Su Ping dashed into the crowd of wild beasts at once.
"I'm coming as well!" Qin Duhuang burst into laughter. For a moment, he felt he had found some of the courage he had when he was younger. He summoned his other battle pets and they flew out from the wall and charged into the crowd of wild beasts.
"I won't be left behind!"
Zhou Tianlin smiled and followed Qin Duhuang into another group of wild beasts, unleashing a shocking energy as well.
Xie Jinshui smiled. He was relieved to see that Su Ping had killed that beast king with the help of his mount. The pressure on his mind was gone.
However, he didn't join the battle. Instead, he summoned his two battle pets and told them to join the battle. In the meantime, he contacted the other defense teams and told them to drive the wild beasts away as fast as they could!
Without the beast king, Su Ping and his battle pets had joined the battle. The wild beasts quickly collapsed and the tide was turned.
Half an hour later, the wild beasts on the east side had all been driven away, leaving behind countless dead beasts. The soil couldn't absorb the blood on the ground for a while!
Less than ten minutes after the wild beasts on the east side were driven away, the wild beasts on the west side had been driven away as well!
Soon after, the south and the north side received more news as well.
When they learned that Su Ping had returned and that the beast king had been killed, the major families that had been guarding the other three walls went all out and joined the battle. Soon, the wild beasts were routed!
…
"Mr. Su, you've saved the Longjiang Base City. You're our hero. You have to come to the celebration party tonight. All the media will be there!"
After the battle, Xie Jinshui tried to persuade Su Ping to stay since he was about to leave.
Su Ping shook his head. "I'm not a hero. I only did what I did. I need to cultivate. You can go to the celebration party. You're the heroes as well. The generals and the soldiers will also be rewarded!"
Xie Jinshui was disappointed to hear Su Ping's words.
Qin Duhuang tried to persuade Su Ping, "Mr. Su, you don't have to cultivate for one night. It would be a disappointment if you, the hero, didn't show up."
"That's right." Zhou Tianlin chimed in, "Mr. Su, don't you want to run a business? I know your store is doing well and customers are coming in every day. But you can't have too many customers. If people know what you've done, you'll have more customers in the future!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. That was a good point.
"Sure," Su Ping agreed.
All of them were happy to see that Su Ping had agreed.
Su Ping said goodbye to them and called back the Inferno Dragon and the other pets. Then, he rode the Swamp War Crocodile back to the store.
The Swamp War Crocodile was too big. Once again, Su Ping felt the inconvenience of the slave contract. The Swamp War Crocodile would take up a lot of space even if he left it outside the store. The Swamp War Crocodile would block the entire street.
Once they were in the shantytown, Su Ping told the Swamp War Crocodile to take a remote route to a desolate hill where the Swamp War Crocodile could rest.
That place was only seven or eight streets away from his store. That was the good thing about the shantytown. It was desolate and spacious. If it were in the upper town area, the beast king would have destroyed many buildings. That would have been as destructive as a beast king attacking a city.
Su Ping ordered the Swamp War Crocodile not to hurt anyone without his permission. Then, he flew back to the store.
Usually, people would stay away from the Swamp War Crocodile. Su Ping wasn't worried about the Swamp War Crocodile.
He flew back to the street.
Su Ping wasn't surprised to see that no one was outside the store. He landed directly.
The door was open. Two people were sitting in the living room, talking. It was Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong.
Tang Ruyan reminded Su Ping of her sister, Tang Ruyu, whom he had met at the Elite League.
At the same time, he remembered what Tang Ruyan had said.
"Just kill her if you think she's in the way."
Su Ping's eyes flickered as he walked in.
The two girls looked up in surprise when they heard the footsteps. Their eyes glowed when they saw that it was Su Ping.
Su Ping saw the joy in Tang Ruyan's eyes. His lips curled into a smile.
"Sir!"
Like an obedient rabbit, Zhong Lingtong immediately jumped over excitedly.
Su Ping nodded and patted her head. "You didn't quarrel with your Sister Tang, did you?"
Zhong Lingtong shook her head at once. "Of course not. Sister Tang is a nice person."
Tang Ruyan glared at Su Ping. "Do I look like someone who would quarrel with others?"
"Aren't you quarreling with me right now?"
"You!"
Tang Ruyan was fuming. This guy! Even Buddha would be furious in front of him!
"Have you heard about the wild beasts outside?" Su Ping asked casually.
Tang Ruyan was surprised that Su Ping would ask about that instead of talking about business. "Of course we have. The entire Longjiang Base City is on high alert. Even three-year-olds know about it. Many kindergartens have stopped their classes. The elderly and children have been sent to shelters."
Su Ping didn't expect that Xie Jinshui would be so quick to react. He had even taken care of the shelters.
"Didn't you just come back? How is it going? I heard that there are beast kings this time!" Tang Ruyan was worried when she talked about beast kings. However, she was speechless when she saw Su Ping. Beast kings were nothing compared to him.
"It's done. There will be a celebration party tonight. Come with me," Su Ping said.
Tang Ruyan was speechless.
Of course …
She curled her lips. This guy was the real monster.
"Done? Was it Teacher who solved it? "Zhong Lingtong asked curiously. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
Su Ping had left with a beast king. Given Su Ping's strength, he shouldn't have been afraid of beast kings.
"Something like that. I worked with the others," Su Ping said.
Zhong Lingtong looked at Su Ping with admiration. The entire Longjiang Base City was in a state of panic when the wild beasts invaded. Su Ping had just returned and the wild beasts had been dealt with. Su Ping had played a big part in that.
"Anyway, didn't you go to the Supremacy League? It's only been a day. Why are you back? Did you come back to help?" Tang Ruyan raised her eyebrows. She didn't think that Su Ping would have lost so quickly if he had participated in the competition. After all, there shouldn't be many people who were stronger than that freak.
"I won first place. Why didn't I come back? Why did I stay there for the New Year?" Su Ping asked.
Tang Ruyan was surprised.
"First place?" She glared at him. "Didn't you just go?"
"Is the first place based on how long I stayed?"
"…"
I'll call you Su Ping from now on.
Will you die if you don't insult people?
Tang Ruyan was indignant.
Su Ping looked at her and said all of a sudden, "From now on, work hard. If you do well, I will give you some special rewards. For example, I can buy ninth-rank wild beasts for you first. When you become a master trainer, I can even sell you my beast king mount."
Tang Ruyan was stunned.
She widened her eyes. She couldn't tell if Su Ping was serious or just joking.
He could sell her a beast king?
"Are you … kidding?" Tang Ruyan couldn't help but ask.
Su Ping said calmly, "You have to do your best and be a good employee."
Tang Ruyan stared at Su Ping. She had been working there for a long time and she had known Su Ping for a long time. She could tell that he wasn't joking.
"Why …?" She lowered her head slowly.
"Employee benefits. Don't think too much." Su Ping patted her head and stood up. "Okay, I'll go home and talk to my mom."
Tang Ruyan watched as he left. She bit her lips and clenched her fists.
She wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she was smart and sharp.
Su Ping's words came out of the blue. Besides, Su Ping was going to the Supremacy League. The Tang family was bound to participate in the Supremacy League. Su Ping would definitely run into people from the Tang family.
However, she couldn't guess what would happen after they ran into each other.
Somehow, she had a feeling that Su Ping was being nice to her all of a sudden because of the Supremacy League.
The Tang family …
Tang Ruyan's heart ached.
Once upon a time, when she heard and said that word, she would feel proud and honored.
But at the moment, that word was like a knife. Every time she heard or thought about it, she would feel her heart being stabbed!
The Tang family was one of the four major families.
However, she felt that she could no longer find a place for herself in the Tang family.
Zhong Lingtong looked at Tang Ruyan who was in low spirits. She was confused.
…
Su Ping went home and told his mother that he was safe. He also told her that the beast strike had been dealt with.
However, his mom told him that she already knew about it. She had seen it on TV. It turned out that the moment the beast strike was defeated, Su Ping was still riding the Swamp War Crocodile on his way home. The news had already spread to the entire Longjiang Base City!
The outside of the Longjiang Base City was in an uproar.
People were celebrating everywhere!
Su Ping felt bored since his mom already knew about it. He told her about the celebration party and asked if she wanted to go. However, the answer was no.
She didn't want to be on TV. She didn't want to show off.
Su Ping didn't expect that his mom would give up such a glorious opportunity. She used to brag about her son and daughter to the neighbors. However, now that they had become famous in the Longjiang Base City, she was keeping a low profile.
Su Ping tried to persuade her again but Li Qingru said, "You and your sister are so successful. I'm happy to be able to show off in front of the neighbors. I'm afraid that I might say something wrong and ruin your image."
Su Ping didn't say anything.
"You won't ruin my image. You raised me. You won't ruin my image no matter what you do!" Su Ping looked at his mom seriously. "Besides, no rumors can hurt me. I'm a titled battle pet warrior. Rumors can only slander ordinary people. They won't affect me!"
Li Qingru had to agree to Su Ping's request.
That night.
The celebration party was held in the city hall.
All the famous reporters were there. The family heads of the five major families were there as well. Some generals who had performed well in the defense of the base city were there as well. They were all wearing military uniforms and medals of honor.
The celebration party would be broadcasted live across the entire Longjiang Base City.
"I'm Xie Jinshui, the mayor!"
Xie Jinshui stepped onto the stage with a solemn expression. "This time, the wild beasts were led by a beast king, 57 ninth-rank beasts, and two hundred thousand advanced beasts. That was enough to wipe out most base cities. But we managed to hold on!"
"Not only did we survive, but we also drove away all the wild beasts!
"The beast king was killed on the spot. Thirty-four ninth-rank wild beasts were killed! The rest of the wild beasts ran away in a hurry! "
Hearing Xie Jinshui's words, the media fell silent.
In front of the media, the citizens of Longjiang City, young and old, were all silent.
Just these few words alone were enough to make them shudder with fear and trepidation, even if they didn't embellish it!
A beast king!
57 ninth-rank wild beasts!
Two hundred thousand advanced wild beasts!
Combined together, how vast and terrifying was that?!
The base city survived!
Furthermore, not long after the news broke out, the calamity was defeated in the short span of a day!
Even the leader of the beast kings was killed!
"Many of our soldiers sacrificed themselves in this battle. They shed blood. Some even lost their lives. They will never be able to reunite with their families. They are all heroes!
"It was their sacrifice that brought us back peace!
"I have to thank one of the most important people here. He killed the beast kings for us!
"Without him, more of us would have died. More of our warriors would never be able to see their loved ones again!"
"He is the owner of the Pixie Pet Store, Mr. Su Ping!"
Xie Jinshui's passionate voice resounded throughout the base city. The spotlight switched to Su Ping. At that moment, all the cameras and all the people of the Longjiang Base City were focused on Su Ping.
Su Ping was not nervous. He remained calm.
At Xie Jinshui's invitation, Su Ping stepped onto the stage.
"I only did what I was supposed to do. It was the others who stalled the wild beasts. I have to thank them," Su Ping said.
Xie Jinshui came back to his senses. "Mr. Su Ping, you're too kind. You came back in time and killed the beast kings. That's why we were able to drive away the other wild beasts. You deserve the most credit for that!"
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He just listened.
All the media were filming Su Ping.
Some of them were still unfamiliar with Su Ping. Some of them had heard about him since they were little kids, and some had learned about him during the Elite League. Most of them, including those who visited Su Ping's store, had never expected that Mr. Su, who had been receiving them every day, would be able to kill a beast king!
Xie Jinshui expressed his gratitude to Su Ping, to the five major families, and to the warriors who had sacrificed their lives in the battle.
He also expressed his thoughts on how to make arrangements for their families.
After the press conference, it was time for the celebration.
Wine! Dishes!
Eat and drink to your heart's content!
The city hall, which had always been quiet, was bustling with noise that night.
In the banquet hall, the family heads of the five major families went up to Su Ping. They also got to know Tang Ruyan, Zhong Lingtong, and Su Ping's mother.
Su Ping's mother was Su Ping's family. Qin Duhuang and the others greeted her with a smile. It was difficult to make friends with Su Ping. They couldn't make it too obvious. It was much easier to start with his family.
Su Ping wasn't worried that his mother would be exposed. After all, if someone wanted to harm him, they could easily find out about his relationships, including his mother and his mother. They could even find out when they were born.
Therefore, since this was a moment of honor, he wanted to share it with his family.
It was a pity that there was still no news from his father. Su Ping couldn't find a place to pick him up. He had to wait for him to come home.
Apart from the senior officials and elite disciples of the five major families, there were also some people who had made contributions during the defense of the city, as well as some famous people from the upper class.
Xie Jinshui's words had introduced Su Ping to everyone. While Su Ping was busy eating, people kept coming up to him. He had to deal with them in a hurry.
In the middle of the night, Xie Jinshui's phone suddenly vibrated.
He looked at it and was surprised. He apologized to the person in front of him and walked to the side. He set up a soundproof seal and answered the call. "What is it?"
"Mayor, it's not good. More Demonic Beasts have appeared in District C-12. In addition, we've just received news in District B-04 that Demonic Beasts have invaded one of the space rifts there from the outside. More Demonic Beasts are rushing out from there. They seem to be gathering …" The voice in the communicator sounded extremely urgent.
Xie Jinshui's face turned pale.
The Beast Tide that had been dispersed had not completely retreated?
But that beast king was dead.
After a moment of hesitation, he raised his head and looked at Su Ping who was eating and drinking in the banquet hall. He was reassured and said at once, "Go and investigate right away. I want the most accurate and detailed information!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xie Jinshui hung up. He wasn't in the mood to eat and drink anymore. He walked through the crowd toward Su Ping.
