Two Kings in One Family, Evening Drum, Morning Bell!

"Human Race, hand over the Kun who achieved an SSSS-rank evaluation this time, or else, Jiangnan Base City will be flooded!"

This furious roar, like muffled thunder, resounded throughout the entire world!

The hundreds of millions of Humans in Jiangnan Base City simultaneously felt a ringing in their ears and an accelerated heartbeat. Minors who hadn't awakened their talents were even knocked unconscious the moment the sound rang out!

This was the terrifying pressure of a powerful being!

Hao Zhong reacted quickly, golden light appearing in his palm, enveloping Xu Kun and Hao Jian, shielding them from this terrifying pressure in time!

The door to the room was hurriedly opened. Chen Gu and Mu Qingxuan had barely changed into new clothes. At this moment, Chen Gu said with a solemn expression, "Brother Zhong?"

"Go out and take a look!" Hao Zhong had just lifted his foot when he looked at the two little ones again, saying, "Stay put and don't move!"

The two little ones, protected by golden light, immediately nodded blankly.

And Xu Kun, after his initial bewilderment, quickly adjusted his state.

Had a powerful being invaded Human Race territory?

Then what he was referring to in his words… wasn't that him?

Thinking of this, Xu Kun's face turned slightly pale.

Hao Jian, not noticing the change in Xu Kun's expression, patted his chest with lingering fear, then looked in surprise at Mu Qingxuan, who was unhurriedly adjusting her fox fur coat.

"Auntie, are you… okay?"

This wasn't scientific. The pressure that accompanied that voice, Hao Jian had only felt it for a moment, but he knew he was powerless to resist!

With Mu Qingxuan's level, barely having passed the novice trial, and her own F-rank talent, how could she be acting like nothing happened?

Mu Qingxuan heard this, and shook her head lightly, without offering any explanation.

Then she looked at Xu Kun meaningfully, "Don't be afraid, the Human Race of today won't abandon its own people because of mere threats!"

Xu Kun blinked. Mu Qingxuan's words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly dispelling the trace of bewilderment that had just arisen in his heart.

And after calming down, Xu Kun looked at his mother's face, which was as calm as ever, and felt more and more that his mother, with whom he had lived day and night for eighteen years, was so unfamiliar!

It was as if nothing in the world could stir a ripple in her heart!

Xu Kun couldn't help but feel a doubt in his heart: was his mother really the F-rank talent holder in his memories who was unable to reach a higher level in the Haotian Pagoda?

"Let's go, go out and take a look." After adjusting her coat, Mu Qingxuan said to the two little ones.

"But my dad, he…" Hao Jian wanted to say that Hao Zhong had told them to stay.

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Kun patted him on the shoulder, "Listen to my mom!"

The two little ones followed Mu Qingxuan out the door.

And when that voice rang out, the entire Jiangnan Base City had already sounded the alarm, telling the people to make all defensive preparations.

In just over ten seconds, the entire Jiangnan Base City was like a high-powered machine in operation. A thin energy shield rose from the surroundings of the base city, like an inverted bowl. This was the defensive formation that formation masters had spent a huge price to set up in Jiangnan Base City!

But this defensive formation was used to resist ordinary enemies. When encountering a strong enemy, it was like paper, and could not bring much sense of security to the people!

"That's…"

The two little ones walked to the corridor and looked up. Under the moonlight, a figure occupying half the sky was faintly visible in the thick clouds!

Dragon?

This was the term that all the people who looked up at the sky immediately thought of!

Inexorably, a terrible thought was born in everyone's mind - the one descending on Jiangnan Base City was a member of the Dragon Race, the leader of the Myriad Races!

Seeing that it was Mu Qingxuan bringing the two little ones out, Hao Zhong swallowed back the words that had reached his mouth.

He said with a solemn expression, "It's East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang!"

Dragon King?

Xu Kun and Hao Jian exchanged glances. This was a powerhouse comparable to the Human Race's War Kings!

After the initial chaos, the noise of the entire city gradually calmed down!

Then, they clearly saw streams of light rising from the base city, slowly ascending into the air, facing that terrifying figure directly.

"Sikong Zhen, the chief commander of Jiangnan Base City, greets the East Sea Dragon King!"

"I don't know what brings the Dragon King here!"

Among the several streams of light rising into the air, the leader's voice contained the laws of heaven, and his loud voice echoed in the air, stirring up ripples and smoothing out the pressure brought by the descent of this figure.

"Little brat, are you the chief in charge of this base city?"

The voice was slightly different from Human pronunciation, like thunder, like a bull's roar, making people's eardrums tremble when they heard it.

"That's right!"

"You are not qualified to talk to me. Tell the higher-ups of your Human Race to hand over the Human who obtained an SSSS-rank evaluation in the novice trial, ID Kun, and then we will be safe and sound, otherwise, the Human Race will bear the wrath of the Dragon Race!"

The city's chief commander, Sikong Zhen, floating in the air, had an ugly expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what my Human Kun has done to offend the Dragon King, to offend the Dragon Race. If there is anything wrong, I, Sikong Zhen, am willing to atone for it!"

"You? Not qualified!"

Roar!

The opponent didn't waste any time with pleasantries. From the clouds, a sun-obscuring dragon claw descended. Sikong Zhen's expression changed, and he quickly organized a defense. The others accompanying him, including the principal of Xu Kun's First High School, also joined forces to resist the claw!

Boom!

The entire city trembled twice, and the eight figures originally floating in the air were instantly blasted away, three of them by the claw. Of the remaining five, only Sikong Zhen managed to block the claw's power securely!

"This..." Xu Kun and Hao Jian exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes!

The eight who had just stepped forward were the eight strongest experts employed by Jiangnan Base City. Besides Sikong Zhen, his deputy, and the city's Public Security Bureau Chief, the remaining five were the principals of Jiangnan Base City's First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth High Schools!

Yet with just one claw, the principals of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth High Schools had been easily swatted away like ants.

The remaining City Commander Sikong Zhen, his deputy, the Public Security Bureau Chief, and the principals of the First and Second High Schools now faced the enemy as if facing a formidable foe.

Nearby, Mu Qingxuan said calmly, "Ao Guang is only of the Jiaolong race, but he possesses an S-grade talent and is a thirty-ninth-level Supreme War King-level expert."

"Of the five who can still remain airborne, Sikong Zhen's talent is A-grade, and his level is thirty-five. His deputy, although his talent is only B-grade, his level is the highest among the remaining five, with a strength of thirty-six. The Public Security Bureau Chief's talent is also A-grade, but his level is only thirty-two."

"As for the remaining principals of the First and Second High Schools, not only is their talent only B-grade, but their levels are only twenty-nine and twenty-eight. Facing Ao Guang's casual claw just now, the two of them had to use their life-saving measures to avoid being knocked down!"

Xu Kun and Hao Jian were shocked. How could Mu Qingxuan be so knowledgeable about the strength of these high-level figures in Jiangnan Base City?

Mu Qingxuan had no intention of explaining. Hao Zhong and Chen Gu, who were beside her, were also listening attentively.

"With their strength, they will probably have difficulty resisting Ao Guang, not to mention that this place is close to the East Sea, and Ao Guang can also draw on the power of the East Sea. If they resist head-on, their fall is only a matter of time!"

"There are no other experts stationed in Jiangnan Base City at this time. It seems that only you two can take action!"

Hao Zhong and Chen Gu exchanged a glance after hearing this and nodded.

Looking at the two little ones, they said, "Just stand by your sister-in-law's side. We'll go and meet the enemy!"

Xu Kun and Hao Jian's eyes instantly became fiery. Were they going to witness a battle between War King-level experts?

Of course, they were well aware of Hao Zhong and Chen Gu's strength!

Both husband and wife were War King-level experts, and among the Human Race's War King ranks, they were among the best. Not to mention that the couple's talents and skills complemented each other, and when the two joined forces, even Supreme War Kings with the same level of talent might not be their opponents!

The couple usually spent their time fighting in the Myriad Races Battlefield or climbing to higher levels of the Haotian Pagoda, rarely venturing out!

In the entire Jiangnan Base City, the couple had few friends, so their identities were unknown to anyone except those present!

Even Xu Kun and Hao Jian's classmates didn't know that Hao Jian had such a terrifying background!

A family with two War Kings was much more illustrious than the War King grandfather who supported Zhan Rourou's entire family!

While they were talking, Ao Guang, who had established his power with a single claw, laughed even more wantonly, "Is this the defensive force of one of the six major base cities in your Human Race's Huaxia war zone? You want to stop me with just a few rotten garlics?"

"Get out of here quickly. Today, I only demand that you hand over the Human Race with the ID Kun. If you can't make the decision, then go and consult with your Human Race's higher-ups. I'll only give you a quarter of an hour. Once the time is up, don't blame me for going on a killing spree if you don't hand over the person!"

The faces of the major experts in Jiangnan Base City, led by Sikong Zhen, were extremely ugly. Compared to Ao Guang's ease, none of them dared to relax even a little!

"Old Dragon King, have you been well? You have a great reputation, why bully my Human Race compatriots? Do you think that my Human Race has no one?"

Ao Guang, hidden in the clouds, extended his dragon head and shouted, "Who's being presumptuous!"

With that said, a dragon breath spewed towards the five people in mid-air. The five were caught off guard and were about to defend, but before the dragon breath could get close, a golden light appeared, sheltering them.

The dragon breath struck the golden light, disappearing without a trace, like a mud cow entering the sea!

"This is..." Ao Guang, who had shown an invincible posture since his appearance, now had a change in expression.

Dong, dong, dong!

A series of muffled drum sounds rang out, turning into waves of sonic attacks. Seeing this, Ao Guang dared not hesitate, and his Dragon Body shook, using his dragon tail to shatter the sonic attacks.

"As expected, it's the Evening Drum, Morning Bell couple!"

Hearing Ao Guang's words, Sikong Zhen revealed a look of surprise, looking at the figures shrouded in a golden bell in front of them, and said in surprise: "Brother Hao, how could you be here!"

"Zhong and I just wanted to have a quiet meal, but we didn't expect someone short-sighted to invade our Human Race's territory!"

The voice came from behind. The five people looked over and saw Chen Gu, wearing a fiery red fox fur coat, no longer with the gentleness she showed towards Xu Kun and Hao Jian. Her face was full of murderous intent!

In front of her was a large drum, and the attack that had just made Ao Guang rush to deal with it was emitted from this drum.

"Roar, Evening Drum, Morning Bell couple, do you want to stop me?"

With Hao Zhong blocking in front, Ao Guang's angry roar didn't cause any waves.

Relying on the protection of the golden bell on his body, Hao Zhong impatiently picked his ears and said, "Isn't that nonsense? You're invading our Human Race's territory, are we supposed to just watch you bully our fellow humans?"

"Good, good, good! I, Ao Guang, want to see today, just how much you, the Evening Drum, Morning Bell couple, who are so famous, are worth!"

Ao Guang no longer had the ease he had when dealing with Sikong Zhen before. His dragon face was full of seriousness, and a pair of dragon claws stretched out in the air, condensing a huge water ball!

"Brother Hao, let us help you!" Sikong Zhen and the others were about to step forward.

"No need, a mere water ball is not worth mentioning!" Hao Zhong grinned confidently.

"Gu!" Hao Zhong stretched out his arm, and the golden bell that was originally floating beside him immediately grew larger!

Hearing Hao Zhong's voice, Chen Gu nodded. The couple had been working together for many years, and they understood each other's intentions without the need for extra communication!

As Ao Guang's huge water ball smashed down, Chen Gu also moved, lifting the drumsticks with both hands and striking the drum in front of her!

Dong, dong, dong, dong!

In the sky, under Chen Gu's drumming, thunderous pythons surged, and dark clouds dispersed!

The invisible sonic attack was entirely locked onto the massive figure coiling in the sky. Under Chen Gu's advancing drumbeats, the Human Race watching below finally clearly saw Ao Guang's figure!

His dark scales shimmered, and his massive, serpentine body twisted and coiled, blotting out the sun. The body had four legs, each with four claws. On his ferocious dragon head grew horns, so that if one didn't look closely, he would be no different from the dragons in legends!

But the difference was that his horns were long and straight, and not forked!

Ao Guang collected all the moisture from the tens of thousands of square meters around him, making the air extremely dry. The massive water ball looked as if it could submerge the entire base city!

The next moment, the water ball fell with terrifying impact. Hao Zhong transformed into a golden bell, like a lone boat in the sea, swaying unsteadily, but that was all!

The terrifying power struck the golden bell, creating ripples, but it couldn't make Hao Zhong retreat even half a step, let alone break through Hao Zhong's defense!

As Chen Gu finished gathering her power, countless lightning pythons converged into a single Dawn Spear, charging towards the boundless waves!

The startling water momentum paused for a brief moment upon contacting the lightning python. The next second, the Dawn Spear pierced through the giant wave, its momentum undiminished, and passed through Ao Guang's Dragon Body!

"Roar!"

Ao Guang let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the boundless waves he controlled were broken through by Hao Zhong's momentum.

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled, and the water ball condensed by Ao Guang turned into a torrential rain, mixed with the dragon blood that fell from the injuries inflicted by Chen Gu's attack, bringing a rain of blood to Jiangnan Base City.

"What a pity, I heard dragon blood is quite valuable. Although this one isn't a true dragon, if we could collect it, we could sell it for a lot of money!"

Hao Jian widened his eyes and looked at Xu Kun.

Listen to what you're saying, is that human language?

People are in a great battle, and you're concerned about wasting dragon blood?

What, you want to go up and pick some up?

Chen Gu's attack not only broke through Ao Guang's terrifying giant wave attack, but also pierced and wounded Ao Guang with a single spear. The huge Dragon Body immediately pulled away, letting out a series of low roars.

Moisture condensed at the wound, and Ao Guang was using the Jiaolong Race's powerful recovery to smooth over the injuries Chen Gu had just inflicted!

"The Evening Drum, Morning Bell couple, with both offense and defense, truly remarkable!"

Was this... admitting defeat?

Sikong Zhen and others, well-protected behind Hao Zhong, looked delighted. See if you still dare to act tough!

"Jian Jian, what level are Second Dad and Second Mom now?"

Speaking of this, Hao Jian proudly puffed out his chest: "Before Dad came back this time, he had successfully cleared the thirty-seventh floor, and now he is at the thirty-seventh tier. Mom is a little weaker, but she is also a thirty-fifth tier Intermediate War King!"

"No wonder!" Xu Kun nodded.

The couple's combined efforts not only withstood Ao Guang's water ball attack with its enormous impact, but also managed to injure his Dragon Body. Besides their levels being close, the more important point was that the couple's talents were also S-grade!

Hao Zhong, who looked rough and fierce, and whose mere size could stop a child from crying, had a defensive S-grade talent!

On the contrary, Chen Gu, who was always gentle and generous, with a dignified appearance, giving people the image of a kind mother with a spring breeze, had an S-grade talent for slaughter and attack!

The couple, one attacking and one defending, were a perfect match, not only achieving good results in the Haotian Pagoda, but also making a great name for themselves on the Myriad Races Battlefield!

The name Evening Drum, Morning Bell was both the Myriad Races' nickname for the couple and the title personally bestowed by the Human Race's higher-ups based on their achievements and talents!

With the two working together, even an old Supreme War King like Ao Guang could only suffer!

After taking Ao Guang's attack head-on, Hao Zhong activated his power, and the golden bell continued to expand, eventually covering the entire Jiangnan Base City, excluding Ao Guang!

Chen Gu came to Hao Zhong's side, and the drum beside her made Ao Guang feel apprehensive!

"Old Dragon King, we have no intention of being your enemy, but we will not allow you to bully the Human Race. I hope you retreat quickly!"

The rain stopped, and the Human Race below once again clearly saw the scene of the confrontation in the sky.

The golden bell covering the entire base city gave people a sense of infinite security!

"What if I say no?" Ao Guang said.

"Then die!" Chen Gu said with a chilling aura.

"Cough cough..." Hao Zhong waved his hand, stepped forward and said, "With my wife and I here, Old Dragon King, although you are strong, you are powerless. While the higher-ups of my Human Race have not yet taken action, I hope Old Dragon King retreats early!"

"Dream on, I came here on the Dragon Race's orders. If I can't bring the person back, wouldn't I become a laughingstock to the Myriad Races!"

Hao Zhong's expression changed, and Chen Gu, full of fighting spirit, said, "Zhong-ge, why waste words with this old dragon? A Jiaolong who only dares to cower on the thirty-ninth floor of the Haotian Pagoda and doesn't dare to go any further, you are already a laughingstock to the Myriad Races, so what face are you talking about!"

"Hey, I can't tell, Second Mom has such a fiery temper?" This was the first time Xu Kun had seen this side of the gentle and generous Chen Gu.

"Cough cough, don't look at my dad being big and burly, at home, Mom has the final say!" Hao Jian scratched his head and said.

Chen Gu's refusal to budge brought earth-shattering cheers from the Human Race, and discerning people could see that with Evening Drum, Morning Bell present, even if Ao Guang acted strong, he could do nothing!

Just as everyone thought Ao Guang would leave in disgrace, Mu Qingxuan beside Xu Kun and Hao Jian sighed.

"Alas, Chen Gu still can't change her temper. You shouldn't expose people's shortcomings when scolding them. What Ao Guang can't stand the most is people making fun of what happened back then. Although Ao Guang is not a match for the couple, he still has a trump card to overturn the table!"

Xu Kun and Hao Jian were shocked when they heard this. What did Mu Qingxuan mean by this?

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Qingxuan finished speaking, Ao Guang in the sky let out an angry roar.

"Evening Drum, you are too presumptuous. I, Ao Guang, will definitely make you regret it today!"

"Tremble in anger, East Sea, in my name, Ao Guang, today, I will flood Jiangnan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a rumbling sound in their ears. When they looked up, everyone was trembling with fear!

A monstrous wave came from the East Sea. Ao Guang traveled through the sea, stirring up wind and waves, wrapping water curtains, rolling in!
