173: Chapter 173 Today, I will kill you!

The West Sea Overlord's roar, full of endless rage and killing intent, sounded like billions of thunderclaps exploding simultaneously between heaven and earth, causing the entire coastal city where the Hunter Headquarters was located to hum and the protective light barrier to ripple violently.

The distant sea level was no longer a horizon, but had turned into an ink-blue water wall connecting the sky and the earth!

It was a monstrous wave hundreds of meters high, crowded and pushed by countless hideous and terrifying sea monsters, pressing crazily toward the coastline with an attitude of destroying everything!

The Eight-Clawed Giant Monster waved tentacles comparable in size to warships.

The Abyssal Giant-Mouthed Shark leaped out of the water, its sharp teeth like a forest.

The Demonized Electric Ray was wrapped in destructive thunder light.

There were countless strange low- and mid-Rank sea monsters, densely packed, as if all the terrifying creatures under the West Sea had been driven over!

Before the waves arrived, that pressure mixed with fishy, salty, decaying, and pure malice already made everyone in the city feel cold in their hearts.

"Sea... sea monsters! It's a sea monster tide!"

"The West Sea Overlord! It really came!"

"It's over! With so many sea monsters, the headquarters' protective shield won't last long!"

Panic spread like a plague, and even the onlookers who had just witnessed Lu Chen kill the elites of the three major guilds in an instant fell into huge fear.

Individual bravery seemed so small in the face of such a sea disaster.

The Bone King assassins in the shadows also held their breath at this moment, wanting to see how Lu Chen would deal with this true impending disaster.

However, Lu Chen, who was in the eye of the storm, curled his lips into a cold and mocking arc when facing the wave of destruction that came like a landslide.

"Sea disaster? How can it rival my beast disaster!"

He whispered to himself, then slowly raised his right hand.

The next moment, the space around him distorted violently, as if the gates of countless worlds opened behind him at the same time!

"Roar!"

"Awoo!"

"Hiss!"

"Screech!"

Deafening roars, hisses, and screams instantly overwhelmed the roar of the sea tide, filling the whole world!

The first to arrive was the ground assault legion!

Over thirty million beast pets in total!

F-Rank Armored Rhinos clad in heavy bone armor, like moving fortresses.

F-Rank Claw Wolves with sharp fangs and bloodthirsty eyes.

F-Rank Sandworms capable of burrowing and kicking up sandstorms.

They were like three torrents forged of steel and flesh, crashing into the coastline, engaging in a bloody melee with the first sea monsters that landed!

Immediately after, in the city's near-shore area, the seawater boiled!

The maritime combat legion appeared!

F-Rank Poison-Sting Jellyfish waving poisonous tentacles.

F-Rank Pincer-Crabs with claws strong enough to cut through steel.

F-Rank Eight-Clawed Beasts with terrifying wrist strength!

They went against the tide, actively killing their way into the rushing sea monster army, instantly dyeing the blue sea area into a chaotic battlefield!

The sky was also covered by shadows!

The aerial suppression legion blotted out the sun!

Flame Falcons, their bodies burning with inextinguishable fire; Iron-Claw Eagles, their sharp claws flashing with cold light; Thunderbirds, arcs of electricity jumping between their wings!

They were like three huge dark clouds, diving toward the flying sea monsters behind the waves, weaving a net of death with fire, wind blades, and thunder!

It wasn't over yet!

The long-range firepower legion built an arc-shaped Great Wall of firepower behind Lu Chen!

The special tactics legion's abilities were even more bizarre and unpredictable.

Finally, there was the Beast Tide Submersion Legion that could drown everything!

The evolved Ice-Burst Magic-Horned Ants, their mouthparts flashing with cold light, charged, causing frost to spread, their piercing ability carrying true damage, instantly freezing and shattering countless sea monsters.

Soul-Devouring Abyss Rats turned into countless shadows, sneaking into the battlefield, causing fatal Soul true damage to undead sea monsters. They were extremely fast, weaving through the shadows, dodging attacks like ghosts of death.

Explosive Stealth Poison Abyss Spiders hid their forms, suddenly self-destructing, bringing up groups of corrosive poison mist!

An army of over sixty million beast pets!

And every beast pet possessed terrifying attributes far exceeding its Rank; they were no longer cannon fodder, but a true Hell legion!

In an instant, the originally aggressive and arrogant sea monster army crashed into this living, moving, and crazily counterattacking steel Great Wall personally built by Lu Chen!

The offensive was forcibly contained at the coastline!

The city where the Hunter Headquarters was located was safe and sound!

"This... how is this possible?!"

"Am I seeing things? A Beast Tamer... can summon so many beast pets?"

"Sixty... over sixty million?! Is this the trash Beast Tamer I know?"

"They all have the Aura of Seventh-Rank World Lord BOSS! My god!"

All onlookers, including the leaders of the three major guilds who saw this scene through remote screens, were completely stunned.

This completely exceeded their understanding of the "Beast Tamer" profession!

Inside the Hunter Headquarters, the hunters who were originally preparing for battle were now open-mouthed, looking at the mythical scene outside the light screen, their weapons almost falling to the ground.

The solemnity on the faces of the three Elders, Senior Wang Rui, Dong Tian, and Yuan Feng, had long been replaced by shock.

The Wasteland Guardian did not know when he had taken out that grass root to chew on again. Looking at the young figure in the light screen who was confronting the sea disaster alone, as well as the boundless army of beast pets, amazing brightness erupted in his turbid eyes.

"Ah la la..."

He mumbled and smacked his lips, his tone filled with undisguised amazement and gratification.

"Such a huge number of beast pets, and they are all Seventh-Rank World Lord BOSS level, tsk tsk... If used well, I'm afraid even a Ninth-Rank Legendary BOSS wouldn't be his opponent!"

As he spoke, he lazily turned around and waved at the still-stunned Senior Wang Rui and the others: "Alright, alright, with this kid here, the sky won't fall! Pass on my order, cancel all alert levels at headquarters, and let everyone go back to what they were doing! Save some energy, keep it for the streetlights tonight."

Senior Wang Rui and the others looked at each other, eventually turning into a wry smile and deep shock, and issued the order accordingly.

The tense atmosphere of the entire Hunter Headquarters dissipated instantly because of the Wasteland Guardian's words and the absolute power displayed by Lu Chen.

Just then, at the highest point of the monstrous waves, the seawater suddenly split to both sides, and a figure so huge it was suffocating slowly emerged.

Its back armor was like a mountain range covered with demonized crystals, craggy and hideous. Its head was like a dragon yet not a dragon, like a turtle yet not a turtle. A pair of giant eyes were scarlet as blood, burning with substantial anger and resentment inside.

Its body was permeated with Abyss-like Chaos Aura and the majestic pressure of the ocean. It was the West Sea Overlord — the Abyssal Demonized Giant Turtle King!

Its body truly covered the sky and earth, and the shadow it cast covered most of the coastal battlefield.

It locked onto Lu Chen, who was standing behind the beast tide, his figure as small as dust but emitting an undeniable radiance, and roared, shattering the clouds: "Damn you, Lu Chen!"

"What exactly did you say to that great existence? Why was that great existence furious and heavily punished me? Cutting off my path to advancement!"

The sound waves rolled, carrying endless anger.

Lu Chen stepped on the Void Realm, contending with the West Sea Overlord's terrifying Aura.

His gaze was calm, but his voice clearly spread throughout the battlefield: "What I said to that existence was all normal, and I even put in a good word for you. On this matter, I, Lu Chen, can swear in the name of the rules, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

He paused, his eyes sharp as knives: "As for why you were heavily punished, I don't know either. Perhaps, there was some problem with yourself that angered that existence?"

"Roar! Regardless! It is true that I was punished! It is true that my path forward was cut off!"

The West Sea Overlord naturally had its own little thoughts, but it blamed everything on Lu Chen. It was completely crazy, its scarlet giant eyes staring fixedly at Lu Chen:

"For this matter, you must be responsible! Today, not only will I swallow you alive, but I will also destroy Great Xia to vent the hatred in my heart!!"

"Destroy Great Xia?"

Lu Chen's originally calm eyes became icy and bone-chilling the moment he heard these four words. The Evil Qi permeating his body almost condensed into substance, and the space under his feet began to distort slightly.

He could tolerate the West Sea Overlord targeting him, and could even let it "kill" him once (with the resurrection ring in hand), as compensation for the potential indirect punishment it suffered due to his message.

But!

No matter who it was, anyone attempting to destroy Great Xia had a path to death!

"I originally intended, based on our previous transaction, to let you kill me once to end this misunderstanding, but—if you dare to invade even an inch of Great Xia's territory, or hurt one person from Great Xia..."

Lu Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried a decisive and chilling killing intent, clearly reaching the ears of the West Sea Overlord and every living being present.

He suddenly raised his head, his gaze like two unsheathed divine spears, piercing directly into the West Sea Overlord's scarlet giant eyes: "Then, today, I will surely slay you here! Let you, the West Sea Overlord, become history!"

The West Sea Overlord laughed out of extreme anger, its huge body trembling violently with rage, causing even greater waves in the surrounding sea: "Arrogant ant! You think you are worthy of slaying me?! I will definitely destroy Great Xia! Come and try it!!"

"Fine! Since that's the case, then there is no more room for pleasantries!"

The last trace of softness in Lu Chen's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by pure, extreme killing intent!

"Today, I shall slay you!"
