100: There is no reason for me not to eat the food that is delivered to my door.

Seeing Lu Ming charge into the passage alone, everyone was dumbfounded.

“Bro, didn’t we agree to hold the passage to the death and wait for reinforcements?”

“How did you jump straight to a full-scale counterattack?”

The situation seemed to be taking a strange turn.

But on second thought, this was an opportunity to start a new page in their family lineage!

Everyone’s breathing grew hurried.

With a powerhouse like Lu Ming initiating the charge, they only needed to follow behind and clear out the monsters.

There were risks, but it was just one life.

“I’m all in!”

Ouyang Zhi was the first to follow.

No other reason; she had seen that man create too many miracles.

Once was a coincidence.

Twice was skill.

Three times meant he was the fated one of legend.

“Every chaotic era gives rise to a monstrous talent,” probably referred to someone like Lu Ming.

Such a person naturally wouldn’t lack followers.

But when it came to being a loyal follower, wasn't there a pecking order?

“This man, I, Ouyang Zhi, will devote myself to!”

Ouyang Zhi’s action ignited the previously hesitant Transcendants like a fuse, causing them to explode into action.

Who wouldn’t want to leave a mark in their family history with “reclaiming Linyuan, slaying foreign races”?

This was a feat to boast about for a lifetime, worth more than any amount of contribution points!

“Tsk, you old men are so slow; you’re not even as good as a woman. I’m charging first; you guys do as you please!”

“Wait, ah, don’t f*cking push me!”

“Amitabha… this monk also needs to accumulate some merit!”

The team of over thirty people instantly fell into disarray but rushed in the same direction.

“It’s chaos, complete chaos!”

“Our mission is to hold the passage and wait for reinforcements!”

Li Zheng Guo frowned.

He had fought battles his entire life.

From repelling enemies at the border to quelling internal rebellions, he had always been steady and methodical.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the highest commander of the Jiangcheng Garrison Regiment at just over 40 years old.

But looking at the figures charging forward with shouts in the passage, and hearing the faint rumbling of thunder inside, the irrepressible passion in his chest surged even more fiercely than in his youth.

“I’m only 40; my blood hasn’t cooled yet!”

“To hell with guarding the passage!”

Li Zheng Guo spat fiercely, grabbed his sword, and chased after them, his rough voice echoing in the passage.

“Old rules: defensive Transcendants upfront! Don’t you dare break formation!”

...“Report!”

“Urgent report!!!”

Piercing shouts echoed over the ruins of Linyuan City.

After the giant beast’s rampage last night, more than half of Linyuan City had become ruins.

The Demon Suppression Army’s council building was one of the few relatively intact structures.

And the three thousand Demon Suppression Army soldiers in the city… none survived.

On the spacious plaza, white bones and chunks of flesh were scattered everywhere.

Crunch—crunch—

Dull chewing sounds reverberated repeatedly within the council hall.

It sounded like blunt teeth gnawing on wood, yet it also carried a hair-raising, sticky sensation.

Sunlight filtered through the shattered window frames of the council hall, slanting into the interior.

Wherever the light touched, scattered bones and shredded flesh of Demon Suppression Army soldiers lay.

In the main seat of the council hall, a burly foreign race was half-sitting.

He was four to five meters tall, with thick limbs, explosive muscles, and numerous sword marks on his chest armor.

In his hand, he clutched half an arm of a Demon Suppression Army soldier, his dark finger bones deeply embedded in the remaining flesh.

With each chew, dark red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, splattering onto the seat beneath him.

He was none other than Abu Duo, the half-step Sixth Realm commander of the Blackbone tribe stationed in Linyuan City.

Around him, a dozen or so Blackbone soldiers surrounded a pile of corpses, frantically snatching at the remaining flesh.

Some soldiers directly tore at the corpses’ chests with their hands, pulling out still-warm internal organs and stuffing them into their mouths.

Others embraced broken leg bones, gnawing at the residual flesh with their sharp teeth.

The crisp sound of breaking bones intertwined with the chewing, forming a nauseating symphony of purgatory.

Just then, a Blackbone soldier, covered in blood, stumbled in, his knees slamming heavily onto the cold stone floor, making the bone fragments scattered everywhere rattle.

“Commander! This is bad!”

“Those two-legged sheep have attacked!”

Abu Duo’s chewing stopped abruptly.

He slowly raised his bloodshot eyes, clenched his fingers, and the bone in his hand instantly shattered.

He stared down at the trembling soldier, his crimson gaze like a predator locking onto its prey.

“Didn’t Abu Duo lead three thousand warriors into Great Xia? Do those two-legged sheep still have the strength to split their forces?”

The scout swallowed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: “They’re dead! Commander Abu Duo and the three thousand warriors who invaded Great Xia are all dead!!!”

The scout’s voice was tinged with a sob, like a thunderbolt, exploding within the council hall.

The surrounding Blackbone soldiers stopped swallowing, their faces showing a trace of shock and bewilderment.

How long had Abu Duo been gone?

They were all dead in less than fifteen minutes?

Immediately, a chill instantly surged into their hearts.

Could it be that a Seventh Realm Venerable had arrived?

The Patriarch and the Prophet were not here; Linyuan City was in danger!

“What are you panicking for?!”

“With me here, the sky won’t fall!”

Abu Duo slowly stood up, his four to five-meter-tall body casting a huge shadow in the council hall.

He knew that there were only a few Seventh Realm Venerables in all of Great Xia.

And the Prophet had specifically chosen the night of the Red Moon’s descent to attack Linyuan City… precisely because he was certain that the Venerables guarding the major forbidden zones within Great Xia would be unable to provide support.

As for the one from the White Tiger Bureau, he was after the Immortal Corpse, just an unexpected variable.

He believed that under the encirclement of the Patriarch and the Prophet, he would eventually follow in the footsteps of those two Venerables in Linyuan City.

Abu Duo’s gaze swept over the soldiers in the council hall who still showed fear, his voice suddenly rising, carrying an inherent arrogance.

“If that good-for-nothing Abu Duo died, then he died. Does he even compare to me? Don’t forget, my ancestors possess one thirty-second of the Netherworld Royal Court bloodline!”

At these words, the scene was instantly brought under control.

That’s right.

That was the bloodline of a king.

There was no way they could lose.

Abu Duo leaned down and patted the scout’s shoulder, his tone gentle.

“Soldier, stand up! Crying like a woman.”

“Tell me, how many people came from Great Xia?”

The scout flinched at Abu Duo’s pat, his trembling body instantly rigid, as if infused with a burst of strength.

He wiped the blood and tears from his face: “Reporting, Commander! I didn’t see the exact number, but I estimate there were only about thirty of them!”

“The young man leading them can cast lightning. His strength is equivalent to a peak Fourth Realm, but his physical body is very strong. Commander Abu Duo was killed by one of his punches!”

“Fourth Realm?”

“Very strong physical body?”

“Hahaha, kid, I don’t even know what the hell you’re panicking about. Comparing physical bodies with our Commander Abu Duo?”

“It’s settled, it’s settled!”

Laughter immediately erupted in the hall.

Abu Duo’s tense nerves also relaxed.

“It’s settled!”

“Just a mere peak Fourth Realm two-legged sheep.”

“Watch me smash him to death with one punch!”

“You rascals, follow me!”

“A complimentary appetizer delivered to my doorstep, I have no reason not to eat it!”
