I was the one who killed your elders.

The three people rushing over hadn't even reached them before they were all taken care of by Ye Chen, who had come to provide support.

In less than half an hour, only five members of the Azure Alliance remained.

The Lion-headed Toad stood at the very front, while the other four pets hid behind it.

Blood Asura, King Kong Ape, and the others—five in total—fought side by side.

The rest of the people had been arranged by Ye Chen to recover from their injuries in the back.

Ye Chen stood in front of the five of them, sneering as he looked at the Toad.

The Toad felt a bit apprehensive in his heart; he hadn't expected the opponent to be this ferocious!

Ye Chen noticed that one of the Toad's hands was fumbling with something in his pants pocket.

He couldn't help but find it funny; after so much time, the Azure Alliance still maintained this fine tradition: calling for backup.

Ye Chen glanced at Blood Asura, who understood immediately. "Shadow Assault."

Blood Asura flashed to the Toad's side, and the Blood God Scythe slashed across the Toad's wrist.

The Toad's right hand, which had been fumbling in his pocket, was severed instantly. "Ah!"

A scream rang out; the Toad's face turned pale as he tightly gripped his wrist with his left hand.

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Hall Master Toad, calling for backup again? I must say, this tradition of the Azure Alliance is still alive and well."

Cold sweat poured down the Toad's forehead as he hurriedly purchased a painkiller from the Monster Mall and swallowed it. Only then did his complexion improve slightly.

The Toad glared at Ye Chen and asked, "How did you know I was calling for backup?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Because before you, Tian Xuhao and Jin Tao did the exact same thing before they died!"

The Toad's expression changed drastically. Suddenly remembering something, he said, "The person who killed Jin Tao and Tian Xuhao before... was it you?"

Ye Chen nodded. "And Elder Liu was also killed by you?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Are you talking about that old man who went to the Aggregation Zone to hunt me down?"

"What old man? That was our former Elder Liu!"

Ye Chen laughed, "Whether it's an Elder or an old man, it's all the same—they're all dead people now. If that old man was indeed your Elder, then yes, I killed him too!"

The Toad was stunned on the spot. He had originally thought Ye Chen's arrival in Qing County was just a coincidence, but he hadn't expected him to be so well-prepared.

"Why are you targeting my Azure Alliance like this?"

Ye Chen suddenly pointed his Thunderclap Blade at the Toad and said coldly, "Because people from your Azure Alliance slaughtered my friend's entire family, so I am going to slaughter the entire Azure Alliance!"

"Hahaha!" The Toad suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Good, then let's see if you have the strength to do it!"

After saying this, the Toad picked up his severed right hand from the ground and threw it toward the Lion-headed Toad.

Seeing the severed hand flying toward it, the Lion-headed Toad excitedly caught it in its mouth. It chewed a few times and swallowed it whole.

Ye Chen knew clearly that this was the Azure Alliance's method of using human flesh to boost the combat power of their pets.

The moment the Lion-headed Toad ate the severed limb, it let out an excited roar. When they looked at the Lion-headed Toad's eyes again, they had turned blood-red.

The entire beast's Aura suddenly surged, and its whole body radiated a fierce pressure.

Instantly, the Lion-headed Toad looked like a lion with rabies. Its once-smooth mane became messy, and drool dripped from its mouth. It was sickening to look at.

Ye Chen said in a low voice, "Everyone be careful, this thing's strength has increased by one-third."

Zhu Qiang was shocked and said, "Holy crap, just by eating a mouthful of human flesh, its strength can increase by one-third?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, but this method of boosting combat power clearly can't be sustained for long. Remember, drag it out as long as you can!"

"Alright, understood, Brother Chen!"

The Lion-headed Toad's red eyes scanned the group. Its originally bloated fat slowly contracted, turning into solid muscle.

The Lion-headed Toad stood up and let out a massive roar at the five of them. Sonic waves surged toward them.

"Holy shit, is this the Lion's Roar?"

The five of them hurriedly covered their ears. The five small pets, including the King Kong Ape and Flower Fairy, also hurriedly covered their ears.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Lion-headed Toad rushed over. Roar! It opened its bloody maw and bit toward Ye Chen, who was at the very front.

Ye Chen hurriedly raised the Thunderclap Blade to block.

The Lion-headed Toad's speed had increased significantly along with its strength. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Ye Chen, biting down on the Thunderclap Blade.

The Toad shouted from behind, "Lion-head, bite its weapon in half!"

The Lion-headed Toad exerted force in its mouth, using all its might. Ye Chen looked at the Lion-headed Toad's yellowed teeth and the drool staining the Thunderclap Blade, unable to help feeling disgusted.

The Lion-headed Toad raised its massive right paw and swiped down at Ye Chen. Ye Chen raised his arm to block, protected by the Golden Armor; the Lion-headed Toad couldn't hurt Ye Chen in the slightest.

After so many battles, Ye Chen understood the Golden Armor very well. That was why he dared to block with his arm like that. He was quite confident in the Golden Armor.

Sure enough, with a crisp sound, the Lion-headed Toad caused Ye Chen absolutely no damage.

The Toad furrowed his brows deeply. He muttered, "That shouldn't be right. Even if that kid's armor has high defense, he should have at least suffered shock damage!"

It was like a child wearing armor being hit in the chest with a hammer by a youth; even if there was no surface damage, they should have suffered severe internal injuries.

The Toad's guess was not wrong. If anyone else had been wearing the Golden Armor and taken that blow from the Lion-headed Toad, their arm would likely have been dislocated.

But this was Ye Chen. With the buffs from his three pets, naturally, he wouldn't suffer any damage.

The Lion-headed Toad was still biting down hard on the Thunderclap Blade. Ye Chen grew impatient and activated the Lightning Core. A flash of electricity lit up.

The lightning power on the Thunderclap Blade traveled along the blade into the Lion-headed Toad's body. Sizzle, sizzle! The electricity spread throughout the Lion-headed Toad.

The mane on the Lion-headed Toad's neck instantly stood on end from the shock. The Lion-headed Toad felt the pain, released its massive jaws, and stumbled back a few steps.

The Piggy Dragon snorted, and the sharp horn on the Extreme Ice Helmet radiated a cold light as it rammed into the Lion-headed Toad. Bang!

The sharp horn punched a bloody hole directly into the Lion-headed Toad's body. A cold light from the Extreme Ice Helmet's horn spread across the Lion-headed Toad.

The Lion-headed Toad's expression changed abruptly. The Extreme Ice Helmet's passive effect triggered, causing a stun effect on the Lion-headed Toad.

Taking advantage of the Lion-headed Toad's stun, the five of them immediately launched a collective attack. Swish, swish, swish! The Thousand Shadow Whip was the first to lash out.

Lash after lash struck the Lion-headed Toad, and every strike hit the exact same spot on the Lion-headed Toad. -10,000!

The Lion-headed Toad's back was beaten into a bloody mess. The Flower Fairy lashed out with vines, binding the Lion-headed Toad's four large feet.

Six flower seeds bloomed on the Lion-headed Toad's back, then exploded. Instantly, the Lion-headed Toad's back appeared as if it had been shot, with six bloody holes appearing.

At the Flower Fairy's current Rank, she could release at most six flower seeds at a time. Blood Asura had also arrived above the Lion-headed Toad and slashed directly at the wounds on the Lion-headed Toad's back.
