With the tragic fall of the War God Captain You, the warriors of the entire Flying Man Squad were enveloped in an unprecedented sense of despair.
The roar of the Tyrant Dragon King echoed over the desert like thunder; it was not only a declaration of death but also the horn for the full-scale eruption of the beast tide.
However, Liu Yun happened to be passing by while tracking the Beast King. His target was also the Tyrant Dragon King, as such a powerful monarch surely belonged under his command, so he intervened to save these people.
"Hey! I was actually saved by Brother Liu Yun, whom I had abandoned. My integrity as Wang Tianba has been compromised!"
Wang Tianba sighed. He valued his integrity highly; at times, he would rather die than suffer an insult to his character.
However, the others were not as insistent on their integrity, and even Huang Mei couldn't help but curse.
"If you really want to preserve your integrity, go charge at the Beast King and die right now! Don't hinder us from following War God Liu Yun!"
They realized now that only Liu Yun was a truly powerful War God. Even when faced with such a terrifying beast tide, he dared to confront it head-on—how could he not be a powerful existence? Captain You was simply too inferior after all, barely reaching the War God level through medicinal supplements, and was nowhere near as strong as Liu Yun.
In the air, the Tyrant Dragon King flapped its wings and soared high. Below it, hundreds of beasts, as if driven by an invisible force, converged from all directions to form an unstoppable beast tide. The Rock-Armored Beast, with its indestructible defense and astonishing strength, charged on the ground, making the sand dunes tremble with every step; the Wind Shadow Leopard darted through the fray like a ghost, its speed so fast it was dizzying, with sharp claws and fangs ready to tear apart any life that stood in its way.
Both of these were Beast Kings, monsters at the level of human Councilors. Even if Liu Yun were careless, he would regret it on the spot.
"Warning! Extremely dangerous biological units detected approaching! Please evaluate the current combat situation immediately and consider implementing an emergency evacuation plan!"
The intelligent system integrated within the Crystal echoed in Liu Yun's mind with a calm and precise voice, each word striking his heart like a heavy hammer.
The crystal on Liu Yun's chest also issued a warning at this moment, and the Tyrant Dragon King in Liu Yun's eyes now displayed both a health bar and a level.
"Tyrant Dragon King, Planetary Stage 3 Beast King. HP: Extremely High. Defense: Excellent. Attack: Destructive. Possesses skill: Dragon Emperor Dimension—this skill can trigger spatial distortion, forming a powerful energy storm that deals area-of-effect damage and stun effects to all surrounding biological units, while also inflicting continuous elemental damage. Additionally, the Tyrant Dragon King possesses flight capabilities and extreme speed, making its movement trajectory difficult to track."
This information was like a conclusion drawn from meticulous computer calculations, with every detail strictly verified to ensure Liu Yun could make the most accurate judgment. The Tyrant Dragon King was not only powerful in its own right, but more terrifyingly, it led two Planetary Stage 1 Beast Kings as its right and left arms, along with hundreds of Lord-level monsters as subordinates. These monsters also possessed significant combat power, and there seemed to be a certain tacit understanding between them, allowing them to coordinate and form an irresistible torrent.
This Tyrant Dragon King would not let these humans, who were scurrying like rats, escape. The Flying Man Squad and the Four-Color Squad gathered around Liu Yun.
"Liu Yun, what should we do?" He Lan's voice carried a sobbing tone. She clutched the corner of Liu Yun's clothes tightly, as if it were her only reliance.
This woman was truly a bitch; Captain You had just died, his body not even cold yet, and she was already throwing herself into another man's arms!
The beast herds, which had previously been fighting on their own, suddenly seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. They began to organize and surround Liu Yun and the others, forming a massive encirclement. The Tyrant Dragon King circled in the air, letting out bursts of triumphant roars; it seemed to be enjoying this strange pleasure.
Liu Yun pondered for a moment and explained to the many warriors behind him what all of this meant.
"I think the Tyrant Dragon King is enjoying the pleasure of the hunt right now. This is a game of cat and mouse!"
He explained it this way, and everyone's faces revealed despair. Yang Xiaolong swung her arm gauntlets, knocking away several giant bear-like Lord-level monsters.
"Liu Yun, you dared to come, so you must have a way! Hurry and continue using your magic!"
She also felt fear. Although they had just concluded that Liu Yun might be a terrifying magician, the beast tide was overwhelming, and Yang Xiaolong, Ruby, and the others were terrified.
Liu Yun snapped his fingers, and two black shadows immediately flew out, leading their own subordinates to charge forward with roars!
Tiger King, clad in black-spotted battle armor with eyes as sharp as an eagle's, accompanied every roar with earth-shaking momentum. It charged into the beast herd fearlessly, its claws and fangs becoming the most lethal weapons. Wild Ape, massive in size and possessing infinite strength, could send several monsters flying with every punch. The monsters under their command gradually stabilized the situation, bringing both sides into a stalemate.
As independent Beast Kings, Tiger King and Wild Ape were both Planetary Stage 2 Beast Kings. The sight of them being driven by a human completely shocked the Tyrant Dragon King!
"Stupid Tiger King, Wild Ape! You are actually being driven by a human; it is a disgrace to the beast race. This time, I will eliminate you along with them!"
The Tyrant Dragon King found it truly unbelievable. These two Beast Kings could even trade blows with it, so how could they have been tamed by a human?
Tiger King's figure flashed like black lightning, instantly pouncing on a peak Lord-level monster. Its sharp claws precisely tore through the beast's chest, and with a shrill howl, the monster crashed to the ground, blood staining the surrounding sand dunes.
Tiger King turned, looked majestically at the Tyrant Dragon King, and said in a deep voice, "Tyrant Dragon King, how could you know the greatness of Lord Liu Yun? A true powerhouse can transcend species and win the respect and following of all strong beings!"
Tiger King had always been a cunning Beast King, and his submission made the Tyrant Dragon King feel a sense of unease, even a hint of a chill.
"Should I retreat? No, I can't! Wouldn't that leave a laughingstock for them!"
This Tyrant Dragon King cared about its reputation and refused to leave, but it did not know that the Machine Race Clone, regardless of whether the Tyrant Dragon King was a man of dignity, would very undignifiedly use computing power to control its mind.
Just as the Tyrant Dragon King struggled internally, hesitating whether it should retreat, the core crystal on Liu Yun's chest suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, like a falling star, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.
The Tyrant Dragon King was stunned by this sudden light, its massive body trembling involuntarily, and its eyes revealing unprecedented fear and confusion. It tried to struggle, only to find its will being gradually eroded by an invisible force; its thoughts began to blur, and its movements became sluggish.
"What... is this power..." The Tyrant Dragon King's voice echoed in the air, filled with fear and unwillingness.
At the same time, Tiger King and Wild Ape also felt the fluctuations of this power. They stopped attacking and looked toward the crystal on Liu Yun's chest, their eyes flashing with awe. They knew that this power was enough to change the situation of the entire battlefield and might even determine their fate.
Liu Yun smiled slightly, gently raising his hand to guide the flow of this power. Following his movement, the light of the core crystal became even more dazzling, finally transforming into a beam of light that shot directly into the Tyrant Dragon King's forehead.
"Mind control, activate!" Liu Yun whispered.
Under the illumination of the light beam, the Tyrant Dragon King's eyes gradually became hollow, and all its struggles and resistance turned into nothingness.
Soon, to the astonishment of everyone, the Tyrant Dragon King flew down and knelt before Liu Yun!
"Ah! Greetings to my great master."
This Tyrant Dragon King left the many monsters bewildered. This time, because the core crystal lacked sufficient energy, it had no capacity for anything else; it had controlled only the Tyrant Dragon King before running out of energy and being forced to rest.
Those underlings of the Tyrant Dragon King, seeing their leader kneel, also stopped attacking one after another. The two Stage 1 Beast Kings tried to flee, but were killed by Wild Ape and Tiger King respectively, becoming monster materials.
The human side was even more silent. They had all seen the scene of Liu Yun controlling the Beast King. What did this mean? Could War God Liu Yun use magic? Could he control any Beast King he saw?
The first person to break the silence was He Lan. She let out a "waa" and burst into tears, throwing herself directly into Liu Yun's arms.
"Ah! I always knew it, Liu Yun, you would definitely come to save me, wuwuwuwu, you scared me to death..."
He Lan's intention was already very clear. Since Liu Yun's strength was so great that he would inevitably surpass the War God level and become a Councilor in the future, why would she abandon him?
However, this tendency to trim her sails was truly too mercenary. Captain You's body was not yet cold, and He Lan was already seeking a new lover.
The women of the Four-Color Squad saw this and couldn't help but frown. Even Xueni, who usually held herself aloof and couldn't be bothered to get close to Liu Yun, felt a bit displeased.
"Hmph, this woman is truly unpleasant!"
It wasn't that they loved Liu Yun that much, but He Lan's actions made them feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if the meat right in front of them had been snatched away by someone else without a word.
