He flew a circle at a low altitude.

During the flight.

Teng Qingshan's telekinetic power was extended to its limit.

Suddenly.

A rat with golden fur covering its body, hidden more than ten meters underground, appeared in Teng Qingshan's consciousness.

"So you were hiding here, and this aura feels somewhat familiar. Kill this Rat King, and the Rat Tide will naturally collapse!"

Wrapped in earthy-yellow airflow that masked his entire presence, Teng Qingshan headed straight for the burrow where the Golden Rat King was hiding.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~"

Inside the underground cavern.

This giant Golden Rat King, which had grown to two and a half meters in length, was constantly squeaking as if it were issuing continuous orders.

Its cries were peculiar; although the sound did not seem loud, it could travel very far, remotely controlling the Warlord Level Cyan Rats.

At this moment.

This Golden Rat King, which had evolved to the Intermediate Lord Level, felt its strength was sufficient and finally began its assault on human cities.

In its past memories.

It was once a rat scurrying across the street, chased by everyone!

But now.

It was a Rat King!

A Rat King commanding countless rats!

Whatever humans had done to it in the past, it would now pay them back tenfold, a hundredfold!

Back when it had just broken through to the Lord Level, it was still in Yangzhou City.

But it had seen a terrifying human flying over via Object Manipulation and had been so frightened that it fled in a panic.

Now, it had moved far away from its former city to the Southwest Mountainous Region, where it had bred a terrifying army of rats.

Feeling the time was ripe, it finally could not hold back and launched an attack on humanity.

This time, it was still commanding from a distance.

Even if there were hidden experts among the humans.

As long as it sensed something was wrong, it would immediately flee again.

The plan was excellent.

And its perception was also very keen.

Alas, the devil is one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall.

Every move of the Golden Rat King was under Teng Qingshan's observation.

"It really is the same Rat King that appeared outside Yangzhou City. I didn't expect to see it here; it truly is quite a twist of fate."

Confirming that the aura emitted by this Rat King was indeed that of the rat from under the Rock Pile, Teng Qingshan could not help but marvel at the wonders of destiny.

After confirming that there was only this one Rat King in the surrounding area for the time being, Teng Qingshan no longer hesitated. As the earthy-yellow airflow pulsed, his telekinetic power completely covered the surroundings, intentionally bypassing only the Rat King.

A Rat King that had evolved to the Lord Level was very sensitive to telekinetic power, and Teng Qingshan was not sure what level this Rat King had reached now.

If it had reached the Advanced Lord Level, given the speed of rat-type Monsters, it would be difficult to take it down without spending a significant amount of time and energy.

Swish, swish, swish!

Silently.

Eighteen Telekinetic Weapons covered in earthy-yellow airflow flew out, completely sealing off the space where the Rat King was located.

"Squeak?"

The Rat King, which had kept all its senses open, finally sensed that something was wrong.

Whoosh!

Even without identifying the source of the danger, the Golden Rat King prepared to change its position immediately.

But.

It was too late!

Teng Qingshan had already blocked all possible escape routes for the Rat King.

Squeak!!!

Sensing more than a dozen Telekinetic Weapons closing in, the fur all over the Golden Rat King's body stood on end instantly.

"It's that human!"

The Golden Rat King remembered.

Even now, it did not have the slightest confidence in dealing with the human shrouded in mysterious flames.

"Escape!"

After letting out a sharp, urgent screech, the Golden Rat King immediately charged in the direction it deemed most likely to break through.

In that direction, at this moment, only one Telekinetic Weapon was attacking.

Furthermore, in the perception of the Golden Rat King, the hardness of that weapon should be the weakest.

The facts were indeed as such.

This weapon was crafted from a tooth of a Lord Level Mutated Wolf King.

Compared to the stronger Mutated Tiger and Mutated Leopard, its teeth were indeed a notch inferior.

The soil and rubble underground were completely vaporized the instant the Golden Rat King unleashed its speed. As a golden phantom flickered, the Telekinetic Weapon made from the Wolf King's tooth collided with the sharp claws of the Golden Rat King.

BANG!!!

The Golden Rat King, having reached the Middle Lord Level, unleashed a strike with an impact force of two hundred thousand kilograms in its desperation!

However, every Telekinetic Weapon Teng Qingshan was currently controlling could easily erupt with an impact force exceeding one million kilograms under the augmentation of his domain!

Given the massive disparity.

Even though the Golden Rat King's claws struck the Telekinetic Weapon, and its claws were harder than the weapon itself.

It was still easily sent flying.

Underground.

Teng Qingshan also darted in, and after locking his telekinesis onto the Golden Rat King, he continued to manipulate the Telekinetic Weapon to attack.

Judging from that previous strike.

Teng Qingshan was certain that the Golden Rat King before him had definitely evolved to the Middle Lord Level.

If he let it escape this time, given its caution and cunning, combined with the monstrous reproductive ability of rat-type Monsters.

The future consequences would be endless.

Therefore, it must die today!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

In an instant.

Teng Qingshan's powerful consciousness directly manipulated 20 strands of telekinesis to act simultaneously upon the hardest and sharpest Bone Blade Telekinetic Weapon.

It blasted toward the Golden Rat King!

And he instantly shifted from his Earth Domain to the more offensive Flame Domain.

The Bone Blade, augmented by 20 strands of telekinesis, resembled a flaming meteor, slamming into the Golden Rat King's head at a speed it could not possibly react to!

BOOM!!!

A terrifying impact force exceeding twenty million kilograms instantly annihilated the head of the Golden Rat King!

With such a terrifying impact force, let alone a Middle Lord Level Rat King, even a Rat King that had just entered the Planetary Level would struggle to escape death if struck head-on!

SWISH!

With a sweep of his telekinesis.

Teng Qingshan collected the remains of the Rat King.

For a Middle Lord Level Rat King, its fur, claws, and teeth were all rare and valuable materials.

Judging by how it was able to withstand the Telekinetic Weapon earlier, the hardness and sharpness of its claws were truly excellent.

They even surpassed the Telekinetic Weapon Teng Qingshan was currently using.

After flying out of the ground and ascending to high altitude.

An unexpected scene appeared before Teng Qingshan's eyes.

Those Rat Tides that had been crazily attacking Southwest Base City.

Were now charging toward him with all their might.

Southwest Base City, which had been in imminent danger, was instantly granted a reprieve.

Seeing the torrent-like retreat of the Rat Tide.

The soldiers and Martial Artists within the defensive line could not hide their shock.

Even though they had only clashed with the Rat Tide for less than ten seconds.

The impact it brought was no less than that of a Lord Level Monster.

Those overwhelming rat-type Monsters that filled every corner of their vision.

Made even these battle-hardened, iron-blooded soldiers feel a chill down their spines.

"It is fortunate that General Teng arrived at the critical moment, otherwise the consequences would truly be unimaginable..." Chief Zhang Wei said on the city wall, feeling a sense of relief.

Under the satellite monitoring just now, they had already discovered that Teng Qingshan had arrived.

Therefore, even while being struck by the Rat Tide, they were not in a panic.

They were very clear that as long as Teng Qingshan had arrived, this Rat Tide crisis was nothing to fear!

Sure enough.

When Teng Qingshan eliminated the Monster leader hidden in the shadows, these Rat Tides all retreated, only to begin a frenzied assault toward Teng Qingshan in the air.

Under the Rat King's final order before its death, these rat swarms it had single-handedly bred would launch an attack on Teng Qingshan even if it meant they all perished!

Fighting truly to the very last soldier!

This was also the terrifying aspect of the Rat Tide: fighting to the death without retreat!
