Slaying

Upon seeing Atkin appear, Yang Wu immediately turned and flew towards him.

"Fifth Councilor, I don't know why you're here?" Yang Wu asked knowingly.

In the original story, after the Golden Horned Beast calamity, Atkin harmed the families of the fallen heroes in order to collect resources. Now he is plotting against Yang Wu behind his back, so Yang Wu will certainly not let him go.

However, Atkin was a third-tier Planetary Level warrior. Although his physical attributes were slightly inferior to the Silver Moon Ferocious Wave King that Yang Wu had just killed, he was protected by the Black God Set. If Yang Wu couldn't kill him in one blow, things would get very troublesome later. Therefore, Yang Wu deliberately pretended that it was a chance encounter.

Atkin was clearly unaware of what had happened between the King Level monsters and Yang Wu; he thought they had simply missed each other.

No one could have imagined that Yang Wu could defeat five King Level monsters, including the Planetary Level third-tier Silver Moon Fierce Wolf King, in such a short time. That was something only Hong and Thunder God could do.

Therefore, Atkin planned to stall Yang Wu for the time being until the five King Level monsters arrived.

"Inspector Yang, you've actually broken through!" Atkin exclaimed in surprise, "Congratulations!"

Surprise is certain, but congratulations are not necessarily warranted.

Atkin was genuinely surprised that Yang Wu had already broken through. Back then, it had taken him quite a while to break through from Advanced War God to Planetary Level.

Atkin was wearing a dark gray combat suit, underneath which was a Black God Set. The Black God Set covered his entire body, except for his face.

"This Atkin is really cautious!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

One side harbored ill intentions, while the other came prepared.

The distance between the two sides is constantly shrinking...

50 meters, 20 meters, 5 meters...

Yang Wu gripped the shaft of the Pojun Spear tightly with his right hand, but his face remained expressionless, even revealing a slight smile.

Call out!

Suddenly, Yang Wu made a fierce move, Pojun Spear, like a bolt of lightning, stabbed fiercely towards Atkin's left eye.

This spear thrust contained all the power Yang Wu could unleash; it was the strongest spear Yang Wu could ever unleash. Even if the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf King had stood before Yang Wu, it would likely have been instantly killed by this spear.

Unfortunately, Atkin was no ordinary person to have become the Fifth Councilor of the War God Palace. A flash of black light appeared on his face, turning it completely black just before the tip of the Pojun Spear struck him.

Boom!

Atkin was blasted dozens of meters away by Yang Wu, but fortunately, with the protection of the Black God Set, he did not suffer too much damage.

"This... how is this possible?"

Atkin was shocked. He suddenly realized that Yang Wu's explosive power even surpassed his own.

But he's Planetary Level tier 3!

Having failed in his sneak attack, Yang Wu immediately switched to a direct assault, stomping his feet hard on the ground and instantly transforming into a streak of Flowing Light as he charged toward Atkin.

"Yang Wu, what are you doing!" Atkin roared angrily, and began to fight back.

"Atkin!" Yang Wu said coldly, "You dare to collude with monsters to ambush me, you deserve to die!"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't do it at all!" Atkin retorted loudly.

Atkin had no idea whether Yang Wu had turned on the recording function; he did it all the time, so he absolutely couldn't admit it.

However, at the same time, Atkin also began sending out requests for help from within the War God Palace.

"I am under attack. My coordinates are near City 003 within Huaxia Country. Requesting backup! Requesting backup..."

Atkin dared not reveal the enemy's identity, fearing that other powerful figures would not arrive quickly if they knew.

Fifth Councilor Atkin's plea for help immediately caused a huge uproar within the War God Palace. He was one of the world's five greatest fighters; who would dare accept his request?

However, many people still decided to go, after all, humans are still very united.

"Quickly resolve this!" Yang Wu also learned of Atkin's distress call through his Communication Watch.

He knew very well that if someone came to his rescue, given Atkin's strength, everyone might join forces to save him for the greater good.

The safest course of action is to kill it before anyone else arrives.

While fending off Yang Wu's attacks, Atkin thought about how he would explain himself once everyone arrived. After all, if his actions were discovered, he would likely be severely punished, if not killed.

Suddenly, his Communication Watch started vibrating.

Atkin looked down and saw that it was a call from Jia Yi, the strongest person in Huaxia Country.

Drop!

Atkin quickly answered the phone.

"Fifth Councilor, three Councilor of our Huaxia Country are rushing to City 003. The War God Palace cannot pinpoint your exact location. Please inform us of your location and the identity of the enemy!"

Jia Yi's voice came through the Communication Watch, causing Atkin to momentarily lose his senses.

At the War God Palace meeting, Atkin often caused trouble for Jia Yi because of his friend Yan Hai. Unexpectedly, when Atkin encountered danger, Jia Yi was able to come to his rescue immediately.

As far as he knew, there were only four powerful Councilor of parliament in Huaxia Country, and this time three of them were dispatched, truly going all out.

"I am above a forest 20 kilometers west of City 003. As for the enemy..." Atkin suddenly fell silent, realizing he had no idea what to say.

Just then, Atkin suddenly sensed a terrifying power. He was startled at first, then overjoyed.

"The First Councilor has arrived!"

"No, that's not right! Whose power is this?"

Atkin was immediately shocked because he sensed an energy fluctuation that was extremely similar to that of the world's strongest being, 'Hong'.

However, Hong's power contained endless darkness and light, and this power was also extremely hot, making him feel as if he were in a sea of flames.

"Fifth Councilor, what happened?" Jia Yi asked anxiously upon hearing Atkin's shout.

Atkin is one of the five strongest humans, and even if he wasn't from Huaxia Country, Jia Yi didn't want him to perish.

But Atkin was no longer able to speak.

Because he had finally discovered the source of this power: in the very center of this fiery Tiandi, there was Yang Wu, who was relentlessly attacking him.

Upon seeing the Flame Domain unleashed by Yang Wu, Atkin felt as if he were seeing a god, and he lost all will to resist.

Yang Wu didn't care about any of that. He suddenly fired a shot into Atkin's chest, Atkin was immediately seriously injured, flying more than ten meters away.

"What!" Yang Wu was also taken aback.

Although he released his domain, his power didn't increase much. How could he possibly severely injure Atkin with a single blow?

What Yang Wu didn't know was that the Black God Set was just an extremely ordinary First-Order Force Battle Suit in the universe, only suitable for battles between Planetary Level warriors.

However, the concept of a domain is something that many Universe Level powerhouses have not yet comprehended.

Universe Level powerhouse uses a Tier 3 Force Battle Suit; a first-tier suit simply cannot withstand a domain.

Therefore, after Yang Wu released his domain, the attack had a defense-breaking effect, Atkin naturally had no way to resist it.

However, whether or not he knew these things did not affect Yang Wu's actions.

Having succeeded in his attack, Yang Wu naturally pressed his advantage.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In a split second, Yang Wu fired three shots, all of which struck Atkin in the chest.

"No!"

Atkin was completely enveloped by Yang Wu's domain and had no time to defend against Yang Wu's attack.

"It's over!" Atkin realized immediately. "I'm going to die!"

If given another chance, he would never easily offend a genius like Yang Wu.

However, before he died, Atkin wanted to cause Yang Wu one last problem.

"Send a mass email!" Atkin used his Communication Watch to send his last message before his death.

"Everyone be careful! War God Yang Wu has broken through, but he has betrayed humanity and colluded with several King Level monsters to lure me into City 003 and besiege me!"

"If I die, you won't get away with it!" Atkin roared in his heart before he perished.

Thank you to reader Qi Mie Yi for the 300 points reward.
