40: You killed the Thunderstorm Bear? That's not in the script!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The sound of space being torn apart arrived.

The Thunderstorm Bear felt an extremely strong threat of death.

Pale blue and silver Saber light flashed, and the Thunderstorm Bear instantly felt an intense pain in its brain.

Its fur stood on end, and the thought of unleashing a full-power attack to perish alongside its opponent instantly stalled.

Its Soul seemed to be sliced by a blade, and its consciousness fell into temporary Chaos.

The Thunderstorm Bear, whose mind was blank, watched helplessly as the Saber Qi struck it.

It couldn't dodge, couldn't stop it, and couldn't fight back!

Centered on its heart.

The Thunderstorm Bear's upper body was instantly ripped apart and sent flying, scattering flesh and broken bones.

The Saber Qi had already weakened significantly after cutting through the Thunderstorm Bear.

Looking at the strike that vanished into the sky, cleaving the clouds.

Jiang Hao sat on the ground, feeling completely drained.

[Ding! First time Martial Skill perfectly Fusing with the Spatial Power, Dao Heart Clarity talent activated—Martial Skill: Flying Firmament Void-Breaking Slash proficiency increased by 20,000 points. Proficiency of other Martial Skills increased by 2,000 points!]

[Ding! Congratulations Host for instantly killing an opponent across multiple ranks, gaining an extra 500 points!]

[Ding! Seventh-Rank Exotic Beast life crystal detected! Can be recharged for 5,000 points. Would you like to recharge?]

"No!"

Jiang Hao shouted weakly.

He wasn't smug about instantly killing a Seventh-Rank Exotic Beast with a single strike.

Jiang Hao knew very well that if someone hadn't injured and restrained this Thunderstorm Bear beforehand...

...he couldn't have achieved such an easy instant kill!

After all, his Yuan Power fluctuation while charging up was so obvious that anyone who wasn't an idiot would have run far away!

Or they would have interrupted him with a Smooth Combo.

"In that case, was today unlucky or lucky?"

Jiang Hao struggled to get up.

Although his Yuan Power had been completely drained, and his Mental Energy didn't have much left.

But this didn't stop the current Jiang Hao from crushing Fifth-Rank Martial Artists!

"Huh?"

A curious voice came from above.

Jiang Hao looked up.

A Mature Woman dressed in ancient attire was looking at him from mid-air.

The Yuan Power fluctuation emanating from her was far stronger than the Thunderstorm Bear's!

She looked to be in her twenties.

She looked a bit like Senior Sister Yun, whom he had almost caused to suffer a breakdown.

It was just that her expression was a little strange.

Especially when she looked at the corpse of the Thunderstorm Bear, which was clearly killed instantly by one strike—her twitching mouth and the look in her eyes, as if she were looking at a pervert.

However, the Mature Woman in ancient attire didn't seem to want to speak first, and Jiang Hao wasn't sure if this Auntie was Senior Sister Yun's mother.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Finally.

Yun Qianqian couldn't help but speak.

"You actually dealt with a Seventh-Rank Exotic Beast all by yourself?" she said, glancing at the spirit weapon in Jiang Hao's hand.

"Even a Seventh-Rank spirit weapon isn't enough for you to contend against a Seventh-Rank Exotic Beast. You're not really cheating, like they say online, are you?"

Congratulations, you guessed right!

Jiang Hao first nodded, admitting he was the killer, then looked at the descending figure and said:

"Hello, Elder Sister! Are you the High-Rank Martial Artist sent by the Martial Unification Bureau for support?"

To be honest, Jiang Hao originally wanted to call her Auntie, since he wasn't even as old as Senior Sister Yun!

But the moment the word almost left his mouth, his Mental Energy, which was as high as 59, made him instantly change his address.

This move is called Maximum Survival Instinct!

Yun Qianqian's lips curled slightly as she looked at Jiang Hao admiringly, thinking:

"This child is so polite, much more discerning than Xiaoxiao, who is a bit simple-minded!"

Yun Qianqian introduced herself:

"I am Yun Qianqian, one of the high-ranking members of the Martial Unification Bureau. Hmm... I am also Yun Xiaoxiao's Paternal Aunt, whom you defeated a few days ago."

"I came this time to deal with this Exotic Beast, but I truly didn't expect you to resolve it in less than a minute!"

Does that mean this Elder Sister was already waiting in Battlefield No. 1 for the Exotic Beast to appear?

Was it just that she didn't know the exact location, so she arrived a little late?

It seems the Official high-ranking Officials of Yunxiao City already knew some information!

Jiang Hao was thoughtful, but it was impossible for him to foolishly ask the question aloud.

Instead, he cupped his fist and said, "It was just luck!"

Yun Qianqian looked at the Thunderstorm Beast's corpse and waved her hand.

A large Water Ball appeared, enveloping it, and then continuously dissolving it.

After a short while.

Yun Qianqian controlled a small Water Ball to float towards Jiang Hao, containing the life crystal.

"Ah! Times have truly changed. When I graduated from Martial School, I was only Fifth-Rank Peak."

"You haven't even entered Martial School yet, and you can already kill a Seventh-Rank Exotic Beast by yourself!"

Yun Qianqian sighed while looking at the destroyed forest.

"We owe you this time. Your move was very timely. No Martial Artists died nearby. It's just that some might have been injured by the frenzied Low-Rank Exotic Beasts."

"The Martial Unification Bureau will issue compensation to them."

Because the Thunderstorm Bear died too quickly, the Low-Rank Exotic Beasts were stopped before they could truly form a Massive Riot.

Furthermore, the Yuan Power fluctuation emanating from Yun Qianqian scared those Exotic Beasts into scattering and fleeing as she flew over.

Jiang Hao didn't respond. Although the outcome was good, the Officials clearly knew the Inside Story but didn't stop it beforehand.

Now he finally understood why Elder Li always advised him to return to Yunlan City early whenever they chatted!

But what was the meaning behind doing this?

Were they trying to trap someone?

For some reason, the figures of the Demon Clan appeared in Jiang Hao's mind.

"Right! And those from the Sacred Beast Society. Could the 'Frost Poison' mentioned by those Second-Rank Members yesterday also be one of the targets this time?"

Yun Qianqian left the Thunderstorm Bear's paws, bones, and head, and said to Jiang Hao:

"Are you selling these Materials?"

Jiang Hao glanced at them and shook his head. Since he couldn't craft spirit weapons or anything similar, keeping the Materials was useless.

"If Elder Sister Yun wants to buy them, of course. It'll also be convenient for me to find someone else."

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't shortchange you," Yun Qianqian clapped her hands.

"Alright, the rest of the matter doesn't concern us. Let's head back to the city. Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Yun Qianqian casually put the Materials into a Storage Item, washed her hands with a Water Ball, and asked.

"Of course, thank you, Elder Sister Yun!"

...A group of figures was speeding through Battlefield No. 3.

"This battlefield is so quiet! We haven't encountered anyone yet."

"Hahaha, they must know that I, Ming Huo, have arrived and are too scared to come out!"

"Feasting! I smell the scent of feasting!"

A Demon Clan member looked at the high-ranking members of the Sacred Beast Society ahead, who looked like a pack of wild dogs, glanced around, and said suspiciously:

"Where is Yun Laicai? Didn't he come in with us?"

A nearby Demon said, "Don't make a fuss! Brother Yun might have already concealed himself, ready to ambush the enemy at any time!"

"Speaking of which, why are we listening to that human 'Frost Poison' and raiding this place? Wouldn't it be the same if we were just trying to contain them in Yunxiao City?"

"I don't know!"

The few Demon Clan members pondered briefly and decided not to worry about it anymore!

Since they were already here.

With the human 'Frost Poison,' who is Ninth Rank Peak, and the Boss present, there was nothing left to fear!

Just then, the members of the Demon Clan and the Sacred Beast Society suddenly felt a moment of trance.

They opened their eyes and found that the surrounding environment had drastically changed!

What happened!

They each deployed their Yuan Power shields and stopped in mid-air, their eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

"I get it!"

A high-ranking member of the Sacred Beast Society suddenly shouted, and everyone immediately turned their gaze.

"It's onions! I added onions to Battlefield No. 3!"

Damn it, idiot! (Demon profanity)

The leading Ninth Rank Peak Demon scornfully moved away from this group of lunatics.

He looked at the drastically changed surroundings and confusedly spoke towards the direction where 'Frost Poison' had been standing:

"This isn't how the script goes?"

"Hmm??"

"Where's 'Frost Poison'? That human ran away!"
