The Rat King's Combat Power

"Master, that bastard dared to provoke you! He doesn't take the King seriously at all!"

"Master, leave the rest of the battle to me!"

When the Rat King saw Zhen Wuzi yelling and threatening Hua Qiang, he was furious.

The saying goes, "A subject dies for his master's honor," especially since it is the master's contracted beast. Isn't now the time for it to show its worth?

During this period, the rat people in his rat Rat Kingdom have exploded, and even a population crisis has emerged.

Zheng can let them out for some fresh air, and take the opportunity to reorganize them and reduce their stress a bit.

Hua Qiang looked at the Rat King and saw his firm gaze and confident demeanor. He also wanted to see how strong the fighting force under this rat's command was.

He immediately nodded and said, "Once I rescue that girl, these four people will be yours to handle."

How much you can eat is up to you.

"Thank you, Master!"

After saying this, the Rat King revealed a happy smile, and several of its whiskers twitched continuously.

Hua Qiang transmitted his voice to Zhao Zhiqing: "Don't resist, I'll save you!"

With a flash, leaving only an afterimage, his body then vanished.

The next moment, he appeared directly beside Zhao Zhiqing, reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, and then the two disappeared again.

Zhao Zhijing companions were dumbfounded. A perfectly healthy person had died right under their noses, and while they were surrounded, just like that.

The next moment, Zhao Zhiqing was held by Hua Qiang and reappeared on the back of the Lightning Thunder Roc.

At this moment, Zhao Zhiqing's pretty face was flushed, partly from shyness, partly from annoyance, and partly from gratitude.

After all, he saved her, and she even asked to do it herself!

As the saying goes, in times of emergency, one must act expediently. In this situation, he had no other choice but to hug himself.

She secretly glanced at Hua Qiang, but she hadn't been able to see him clearly before because she was too far away.

Looking at this face that's flawless from every angle, my heart skipped a beat.

She quickly lowered her head again, saying shyly, "Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"You're welcome, it's a deal between us!"

Hua Qiang seamlessly transitioned to the next point, dropping a remark that made Zhao Zhiqing roll her eyes.

He's such a blockhead, but even so, there's no need to be so blunt.

That's incredibly low emotional intelligence!

Hua Keke didn't think too much about it. After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "Rat King, the rest is up to you!"

"Alright, First Elder, just you wait and see!"

Hua Qiang's lips twitched a few times. What kind of term is that?

It's awkward to have either the master or the First Elder together.

"Wow!"

Zhen Wuzi was furious. He had been longing to catch his prey, but someone had rescued it instead. This was outrageous!

This is a provocation against him, and he must pay a bloody price!

Before he could make a move, countless dark shadows suddenly appeared in the sky, covering them from top to bottom.

Holy crap!

What is this?

Zhao Zhijing, Wu Xinren, and Chen Sanniang suddenly felt Jipi rise all over their bodies, and even a strong sense of danger lingered in their hearts.

There were simply too many dark figures, too densely packed, and their coverage was extremely wide, completely blocking their escape route.

When the shadowy figure got closer and they could see its appearance clearly, all four of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Mouse!

And it was a huge rat!

There are at least 10,000 to 18,000 of them. Besides a large portion of them being level one rats equivalent to the Human Immortal Realm, there are also many level two rats, and even some level three rats.

Zhao Zhijing, Wu Xinren, Chen Sanniang, Zhen Wuzi, the four notorious Four Evils of the Southern Wilderness, are now in dire straits.

A dense swarm of rats descended from the sky, swarming in from all directions. Their dark brown fur gleamed eerily in the dim light, and their tiny, beady eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

As the leader of the four, Zhao Zhijing had already reached the third level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. He was the first to react, and his Spiritual Power surged around him, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly with his powerful aura.

"What's there to be afraid of! A bunch of rats are nothing but trouble. Watch me slaughter them all!"

He shouted loudly, his Longsword flashing as sharp Sword Qi swept towards the swarm of rats.

Wherever the Sword Qi reached, rats were cleaved in two, blood splattering and internal organs spilling out. In an instant, rat corpses piled up like mountains.

Wu Xinren was not to be outdone. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Instantly, countless Ice Prisms shards appeared out of thin air and rained down on the rat swarm.

The Ice Prisms pierced the mice's bodies, freezing them into solid blocks of ice, which shattered upon impact.

Chen Sanniang wielded a long whip, the tip of which made a sharp whistling sound. With each swing, she whipped away a group of rats, their fur and flesh flying everywhere with the whip's shadow.

Zhen Wuzi used earth magic to build an Earth Walls around himself, temporarily blocking the rats' attack. He continuously expanded the Earth Walls outward, squeezing the rats' living space.

However, there were simply too many rats.

Level 1 and Level 2 rats surged forward like a tide, and there were even Level 3 rats, equivalent to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, hiding among them.

A level-three rat suddenly leaped up with incredible speed, instantly breaking through Zhao Zhijing's Sword Qi defense and biting his arm.

Zhao Zhijing winced in pain, roared, and forcefully swung his arm, sending the rat flying.

But deep teeth marks were already left on his arm, and blood was gushing out.

Wu Xinren was entangled by several level-one rats. Although the Ice Prisms could kill them, new rats would quickly take their place.

A rat pounced on him from behind when he wasn't looking, its sharp claws tearing his clothes and leaving several bloody scratches on his back.

Chen Sanniang's long whip gradually became heavy, her strength was being rapidly depleted, and her movements slowed down.

A rat crawled up the whip and bit her wrist. She screamed and almost dropped the whip.

The Earth Walls of Zhen Wuzi was also on the verge of collapse due to the constant attacks of the rats.

A level 3 rat led a group of level 1 rats, and together they crashed into the Earth Walls.

With a loud crash, the Earth Walls collapsed, and countless rats pounced on him.

The four men quickly stood back to back, their wounds multiplying, blood staining their clothes and pooling on the ground.

They exhausted all their trump cards, using all sorts of magical treasures and spells, but the swarm of rats remained endless.

Finally, their physical strength reached its limit, and they could no longer hold on.

Zhao Zhijing collapsed first from exhaustion, and countless rats swarmed over him, instantly engulfing him.

All that could be heard was his pitiful scream, and then he fell silent.

Following closely behind, Wu Xinren, Chen Sanniang, and Zhen Wuzi also fell one after another, and were eaten by the crazed rats.

In a short while, the once invincible Four Great Evils of the Southern Wasteland were reduced to ashes, leaving behind only a desolate battlefield and bloodstains that were gradually cleaned up by the rats.
