Wei Yan's Fury
Fourth-Turn Bone Tempering Realm!
Chen Fan opened his eyes.
Two beams of golden light shot from his amber eyes, piercing through the air in front of him.
He stood up, feeling the power within him increase exponentially, and clenched his fist in satisfaction.
In the square, everyone was immersed in the joy of their sudden increase in strength.
Zhang Zhi looked at his hands, feeling the surging Qi and Blood within his body, his eyes slightly reddening.
He had been stationed in the Blackrock Guardian Zone for several months, but his cultivation level had stagnated. However, today he underwent a transformation in just a few hours.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Fan was no longer just one of awe, but of utter fanaticism and faith.
At that very moment.
The Annihilation Stele at the edge of the Guardian Zone suddenly emitted an extremely piercing buzzing sound.
The surface of the stone tablet glowed brightly red, flashing wildly.
This represents the highest level of emergency communication request.
Zhang Zhi's expression changed, and he quickly walked to the stone tablet and pressed the connection button.
A huge Holographic Light Screen was projected above the stone tablet.
The face of Wei Yan, the Supreme Leader of the Tianshu Guardian Zone, appeared in the Light Screen.
His face was ashen, his eyes wide open, and his gaze revealed undisguised fury.
"Zhang Zhi!" Wei Yan's voice boomed through the Light Screen, causing the entire square to vibrate. "Who gave you the audacity to act without authorization?!"
Holographic Light Screen was projected into mid-air.
Wei Yan's face filled the entire screen.
His brows furrowed into a tight knot, his eyes widened, and his gaze pierced through the Light Screen barrier, locking onto Zhang Zhi.
"Zhang Zhi! What's going on in your head?!"
Wei Yan's roar echoed across the square.
Zhang Zhi stood in front of the stone tablet. His hands hung naturally at his sides, and his back was straight.
"Do you even know what's happening outside? The Alien Races coalition has gone completely mad! They're frantically shrinking our living space." Wei Yan braced himself on the table, leaning forward. "My order was a complete retreat! Not only did you desert your post, but you also took Chen Fan out to his death? He's Human Race's hope; you're jeopardizing Human Race's future!"
Wei Yan's voice was extremely loud.
Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, Tuo Bashan, and Xiao Ran in the square heard it clearly.
But no one showed any sign of fear.
Zhang Zhi looked at Wei Yan on the Light Screen.
He felt the abundant power within his body, a power he had reached at the late stage of the Fifth-Turn.
The previous hidden injuries have completely healed.
He didn't argue, but calmly said, "Commander Wei, we're not going to our deaths."
This calm demeanor startled Wei Yan for a moment.
Then, an even greater surge of anger welled up within him.
"You didn't send yourselves to your deaths? You took down three Primary Guardian Zone! You think that's a victory?" Wei Yan slammed his hand on the table. The dull thud echoed. "That's alerting the enemy! The outer perimeter has been completely sealed off by the Alien Races army. You're sitting ducks now!"
Wei Yan straightened up, his tone turning icy. "Activate the highest defense sequence of the Blackrock Guardian Zone immediately. Hold the formation at all costs. I'll send someone to bring you back right away. We absolutely cannot let you continue your nonsense!"
A fair hand reached out from the side and pressed against the edge of the stone tablet's operating table.
Chen Fan walked to the front of the stone tablet. He stood in front of Zhang Zhi, his face half close to the Light Screen.
"Brother Wei, getting too hot-tempered can damage your liver."
Chen Fan smiled.
Wei Yan's voice abruptly stopped. He stared at the youthful face on the screen, the reprimand he had prepared stuck in his throat, unable to rise or fall.
This is Myriad Laws Ranking.
This was a peerless Prodigies who had alarmed the Nine Martial Gods.
This is the absolute core that the higher-ups have given a strict order to protect.
Wei Yan cannot be hit or scolded.
His face went from ashen to flushed, and a surge of suppressed emotions welled up inside him.
Chen Fan.
Wei Yan took two deep breaths, forcibly suppressing his anger.
His tone slowed, but it was extremely solemn.
"This is no child's play. I know your combat strength is astonishing, but this is the Core Zone. Your actions have thoroughly enraged the Alien Races's high command."
Chen Fan crossed his arms.
"I was the one who led the people out. I was the one who came up with the idea. Zhang Zhi was just a guide. You don't need to take it out on him."
Wei Yan pressed his forehead; he didn't want to dwell on the issue of responsibility, so he simply threw out the intelligence he had just intercepted.
"The Alien Races Alliance's spies have already located the coordinates of the Blackrock Guardian Zone." Wei Yan looked directly into Chen Fan's eyes. "You've been exposed."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, but he didn't say anything.
Wei Yan continued, "An elite enforcement team has already set off. Taking advantage of the lull after the Annihilation Storm, they are heading towards you at full speed. They are led by two top Alien Races at the Sixth-Turn of the Bone Tempering Realm Prodigies. Accompanying them are five Fifth-Turn."
Wei Yan paused, then emphasized, "They didn't divide their forces; they abandoned the advance in other War Zones and concentrated all their strength in one place. Their target is only one... and that's you!"
The air in the square fell silent for a few seconds.
Zhang Zhi's pupils contracted.
Sixth-Turn Bone Tempering Realm is a top-tier combatant capable of dominating the Core Zone.
He had already nearly lost his life when facing three Fifth-Turn chiefs.
Sixth-Turn expert's strength and quality are far superior to those of Fifth-Turn, not to mention that he is accompanied by five Fifth-Turn.
This is a destructive force capable of wiping out any Intermediate Guardian Zone.
Wei Yan looked at Chen Fan, trying to see a hint of crisis on the young man's face.
"The two leading figures are both Sixth-Turn cultivators: Blood Butcher of the Blood Prison Clan and Ye Xiao of the Shadow Demon Race," Wei Yan quickly reported the enemy's information. "Blood Butcher possesses the Bloodlust Berserk talent and once tore apart one of our Human Race Sixth-Turn Guardians with his bare hands when he was Fifth-Turn cultivator. Ye Xiao is an expert in assassination; his Shadow Escape Technique is so powerful that even Mental Power cannot lock onto him."
Wei Yan braced himself on the table with both hands.
Wei Yan issued his final order, "Chen Fan, listen carefully, immediately abandon the Blackrock Guardian Zone and use the Teleportation Array to retreat back to Tianshu. This is an order! I have already gathered all the high-level combat forces in Tianshu. As long as you return, we can hold it."
In the Light Screen, Wei Yan's eyes were filled with anxiety and determination.
He was prepared to forcibly cut off the array's energy and force Chen Fan to return, even if it meant going against Chen Fan's wishes.
Chen Fan stood in Light Screen.
His eyes lit up after hearing Wei Yan's description.
His amber eyes gleamed with undisguised fervor.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips.
Chen Fan smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth.
"Brother Wei," Chen Fan, looking at the Light Screen, "I was just worried. Those few Alien Races in the Primary Guardian Zones are too weak, not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
Wei Yan was stunned; he couldn't understand Chen Fan's words.
Chen Fan leaned closer to the Light Screen, his smile widening, "Just when I was worried about not having enough to eat, a food delivery arrived?"
"Takeout?"
Wei Yan was unfamiliar with the term, but he understood the excitement and greed in Chen Fan's tone.
"Are you insane!" Wei Yan roared, "That's Sixth-Turn! Two Sixth-Turn! You're only a third-rank..."
"Let me correct you," Chen Fan interrupted Wei Yan, "It's Fourth-Turn."
Chen Fan raised his hand, and a pure, Golden Qi and Blood condensed at his fingertips. This Qi and Blood contained an overbearing will to suppress everything.
