The bald Martial Artist called Thor had also appeared several times in the images transmitted by the Little Cauldron.

Afterward, Teng Qingshan had specifically sought out Chief Wang Hai to learn more about him.

After looking into the matter,

Teng Qingshan discovered that Thor was a Martial Artist whose talent and insight were no worse than Hong's!

He was also under twenty years old, yet his physical abilities had already reached War God Level!

Though he was only a Beginner War God, his physical strength was exceptional, allowing him to exert five times his normal strength!

At full power, he could contend with a High-Level Lord.

However, the strongest Monster killed in the Southeast War Zone had only been a High-Level Warlord.

So Thor's weapons weren't very good.

At best, they could let him fight against a Primary-Level Lord.

If he were equipped with better weapons, his strength would let him trade blows with a High-Level Lord.

As these thoughts crossed his mind,

the video conference came to an end.

According to the plan they had just discussed,

Teng Qingshan's first stop would be Northwest Base City.

Whoosh!

Standing on the Samsara Spear, with more than ten sharp Bone Blades at his waist serving as Telekinetic Weapons,

Teng Qingshan activated the fire-attributed domain he was best at using for speed.

His whole body became a streak of fiery light, shooting toward the northwest.

The straight-line distance between Jiangnan Base City and Northwest Base City was 1,500 kilometers.

With Teng Qingshan unleashing his full speed, he was now traveling at an astonishing 1,600 meters per second.

He could cover the distance in about fifteen minutes!

Wrapped in a scarlet stream of air, Teng Qingshan flew without any air resistance. The Domain Energy even gave his speed an enormous boost.

That was why Teng Qingshan could move so quickly.

As he flew through the sky,

Teng Qingshan watched the mountains, lakes, and grasslands below rush past.

His heart filled with pride!

The flying Monsters that usually ruled the skies

saw how fast the figure wreathed in flames was moving and didn't dare approach to provoke him.

Some couldn't dodge in time and collided head-on with Teng Qingshan. It was like being hit by a cannonball; they were instantly smashed into fragments that scattered through the sky.

Teng Qingshan's speed didn't drop in the slightest as he continued rushing toward his destination.

Ten minutes later,

Teng Qingshan crossed into the Northwest.

The land below had changed from lush green to a vast expanse of ochre.

Huge groups of Monsters lived among the rolling mountain ranges.

Teng Qingshan even spotted several Lord-level Monsters.

But dealing with the crisis facing Northwest Base City was more important right now.

He could take care of those Lord Monsters later.

A few minutes later,

Teng Qingshan stood on the Samsara Spear above Northwest Base City.

At that moment,

several wolf-type Warlord-level Monsters below were leading tens of thousands of ordinary wolf-type Beast Soldiers in an assault on the city.

The attacking Monsters weren't especially numerous.

And the few High-Level Warlord black wolves that had developed a little intelligence weren't charging in themselves. They were only sending their Beast Soldier-level wolves to attack the defensive line.

So Northwest Base City was still holding out.

However, the city had very few Martial Artists. Its strongest was only just barely an early-stage Warlord, and his martial arts realm was low. He was struggling even to deal with the few High-Level Beast Soldier black wolves that had broken through the third defensive line.

After watching for a while, Teng Qingshan saw that this pack of black wolves was the only group of Monsters trying to attack nearby. He didn't hesitate. He rode his spear down to the defensive line like a Heavenly God descending to earth and sent more than ten Telekinetic Weapons flying.

As the fiery streaks howled through the air,

the entire pack of black wolves was slaughtered.

Even the High-Level Warlord black wolves hiding behind them were killed in an instant.

The battlefield, which had been filled with artillery fire, machine-gun bursts, and the howls of black wolves,

fell completely silent.

"Gulp!"

A Martial Artist who had been fighting with a blade against the black wolves that broke through the line watched as a flash of fiery red cut down the dense pack. The High-Level Beast Soldier black wolf he had been straining with all his might to hold off was as fragile as paper beneath that fiery streak, sliced apart with ease.

He couldn't help swallowing hard. "So this is General Teng, the invincible one? He's incredible!"

Teng Qingshan had resolved Northwest Base City's greatest threat in less than a second, as if he'd merely brushed away some dust.

He recalled his more than ten Telekinetic Weapons, then slowly descended onto the city wall.

Chief Zhao An was already waiting there.

"As expected of the invincible General Teng! Welcome, welcome!"

Even though Zhao An had seen much in his life, witnessing Teng Qingshan's astonishing strength with his own eyes left him utterly shocked. "On behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in Northwest Base City, I thank you, General Teng!"

"You're too kind, Chief Zhao. That was just an appetizer. There's no time to waste. Send me the exact locations of those three Lord-level Monsters, and I'll deal with them now. As for the Monster corpses below, I'll leave it to you to handle them yourselves."

"No problem. These are the latest locations of the three Lord Monsters." As Zhao An spoke, he sent the location information to Teng Qingshan's specially made Communication Watch. "If the Lord Monsters move afterward, I'll send you their new locations right away."

"Good. Just wait for the news, Chief Zhao."

Teng Qingshan laughed heartily, then rode his spear once more, heading toward the tiger-shaped Lord-level Monster.

It was the strongest of them, and it commanded the largest Monster pack. It posed the greatest threat to Northwest Base City, so it would be the first he took down.

The Communication Watch showed that it wasn't far away.

Teng Qingshan reached its territory after flying at top speed for two minutes.

More than a thousand meters above the ground,

Teng Qingshan looked down at the thousands of mutant tigers in the mountain range. Every tiger had grown two or more tails, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.

When the people of Northwest Base City had been evacuated, these Two-Tailed Mutant Tigers had slaughtered more people than any other Monsters.

Now it was time for them to pay with their lives.

Boom!

At a thought,

the scarlet stream of air around Teng Qingshan's body instantly turned ochre.

At the same time, his presence was completely concealed, and he began descending silently toward the mutant tigers' territory.

In recent days,

aside from constantly comprehending the Domain Realm, Teng Qingshan had been studying the many ways to use domains.

The Flame Domain was very useful for attacking and traveling, and it greatly increased his speed.

The Earth Domain was better at defense and concealing his presence.

Although he hadn't yet broken through to the Fourfold Domain,

Teng Qingshan's overall strength had more than doubled.

Wrapped in ochre streams of air, and with the currents pulsing to a peculiar rhythm, Teng Qingshan's presence became almost imperceptible.

Even as he descended at high speed,

he didn't attract the attention of the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger below, whose strength was close to that of a Mid-Level Lord.

When he was only three hundred meters above the ground, Teng Qingshan became a streak of ochre light and plunged into a small grove.

He controlled his Telekinetic Weapons to kill several Two-Tailed Mutant Tigers below in an instant, then slowly floated toward a cave farther ahead.

That

was the den of the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger, a Primary-Level Lord.
