"Sorry, sir, you don't have permission!"
Soon, the Black Suit Elder gave Li Yao and his wife a shocking answer!
"No permission? Even I don't have permission?!"
Venina's eyes widened. Almost shrieking, she said, "I'm the HR Alliance's executive director in the Hanxia Kingdom!"
"Sorry, madam. You don't have permission either!"
!!!
In an instant, the audiovisual call—which had been filled with fury—fell deathly silent.
Vinnie Polaris!
She could be called the HR Alliance's third-in-command in the Hanxia Kingdom. If even she lacked permission, it wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying the forces behind Jiang Li were!
"Yao!"
After a long pause, Venina frowned and looked at Li Yao. "If even I don't have permission, then this Jiang Li must be connected to the higher-ups of the Two Major Martial Arts Halls!"
"So what?!"
"Let him be the emperor himself! He killed my only son, and I'll make him pay with his life!"
Li Yao was growing frantic, his eyes seeming to spit fire. "I'll kill Jiang Li first. I can deal with his family later!"
"If we can't find him through the database, there must be some other way!"
Venina felt a little relieved, but warned him, "Yao, he's a Psychic. Killing him won't be easy!"
"Could we get hold of some special equipment?"
Li Yao understood, too. Killing a War God-level Psychic was difficult. Even if he could bring in six or seven War Gods, it would still be hard!
Because once a Psychic noticed them and fled at full speed, ordinary War Gods couldn't catch up!
"Special equipment? Are you thinking of using..."
Venina suddenly thought of a superweapon used against King-level Monsters. She shook her head and said, "That's absolutely impossible inside the Hanxia Kingdom. They strictly control weapons!"
Li Yao furrowed his brows. He knew it was unlikely, too.
"In that case, we can only ask that person to make a move!"
Li Yao thought of someone and instructed her, "Keep track of Jiang Li's whereabouts at all times. Also, find me some Mercenary Army members, preferably with War God-level fighters!"
"Okay!"
Venina nodded.
The couple immediately went their separate ways.
City 003, Main City West District.
This had once been a thriving metropolis. Now, it had become a paradise for countless monsters.
Beneath a dilapidated apartment building, the enormous bodies of monsters lay scattered everywhere, and the stench of blood filled the air.
"The domain really is powerful. No wonder Hong's realm is clearly lower than Thunder God's, yet he's stronger. That's the power of a domain."
Jiang Li put away the Bloodshadow Warblade, his white clothes fluttering.
His gaze swept over the remains of hundreds of monsters, and a look of realization crossed his face.
Within a domain, it was like being in another world!
The domain's power constrained every monster. Their strength was reduced to only seventy or eighty percent.
"With the domain's rules reinforcing me, my speed and strength have increased by a full twenty percent!"
Jiang Li glanced at the enormous Unicorn Violent Lizard among the monster corpses and smiled faintly. "Even an Intermediate Lord monster has its speed and strength greatly reduced by the suppression of my domain's rules. The reduction should be around twenty percent, too!"
"An Intermediate Lord monster is equivalent to a human Mid-Level War God. That means War Gods at my level will also be suppressed by the Dragon God Domain!"
"Under the domain's suppression, I can crush even a Mid-Level War God who's a Psychic!"
Jiang Li's eyes shone with confidence.
The suppression and weakening caused by the domain's rules were terrifying, but even without them, the boost alone was enough to bring Jiang Li's speed and strength up to High-level War God standards. And with the added boost from the Diamond Dragon God Body, he could even fight a High-level War God with a single strike!
"Looks like I'll have to find a High Lord to test myself against!"
The thought settled in his mind.
Whoosh!
Jiang Li leaped into the air. The Blood Shadow War Sword swept upward beneath him, and he shot forward as a white blur, continuing toward the city center.
Rumble!
Before long, a series of terrifying sonic booms caught Jiang Li's attention. He turned to look and saw clouds of dust rising from a densely packed residential area nearly ten kilometers away, as buildings collapsed.
"That's quite a commotion. A War God and a High Lord must be fighting!"
Jiang Li guided the Blood Shadow War Sword through a silver-white arc in the air and flew toward the battlefield.
"Roar! Roar!"
"Awooo!"
Frenzied roars rang out from within the clouds of dust, as if the world had descended into chaos...
Outside the dust-filled area, monsters kept howling and rushing toward the battlefield. The ground trembled beneath their feet.
"This is terrifying!"
"So this is what a War God-level battle looks like!"
In a residential area about five kilometers from the outer edge of the battlefield, an eighteen-year-old youth hid in a corner of a rooftop, secretly watching the terrifying battle through binoculars. He was none other than Luo Feng, who had resolved to explore City 003 on his own.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Through the dust filling the sky, he could make out a vague, cyan-colored behemoth. It stood at least five meters tall and was more than ten meters long. At a glance, it looked just like a dragon from Western legend.
Boom!
When it suddenly charged out,
Luo Feng finally got a clear look. It was an Iron Armor Dragon covered in dark green scales. Its pair of fiery red eyes made his heart clench. Even through the binoculars, Luo Feng couldn't help trembling.
It was a High Lord monster!
"What's that?"
"Could it be a Dragon Egg?"
Once the Iron Armor Dragon charged out of its lair, Luo Feng spotted a cyan giant egg, a full meter tall, through his binoculars. His pupils shrank sharply!
The Dragon Egg was beyond price!
In that instant, countless thoughts raced through Luo Feng's mind!
Suddenly,
a white streak of light broke through the sound barrier and shot toward him from far away. Luo Feng whipped around, his nervous expression instantly turning to astonishment. "J-Jiang, Brother Jiang?"
"It's me!"
Jiang Li landed lightly and put away the Blood Shadow War Sword with a smile. "This is the city center. You've got some nerve coming here!"
With Luo Feng's current strength as an Intermediate War General, the city center of City 003 was extremely dangerous.
"Phew!"
Luo Feng let out a breath and said, "I have my reasons."
"Is it about your younger brother?"
Jiang Li understood. Luo Feng was risking his life partly because he had the heart of a strong fighter, and partly for his family.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
They lived in the same Mingyue Residential Area, and Jiang Li knew about his younger brother. It was no surprise.
Jiang Li looked toward the battle in the distance. Clouds of dust obscured much of the view, and he asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Brother Jiang, that Iron Armor Dragon just laid a Dragon Egg!"
"I want to try stealing it!"
Luo Feng took a deep breath and said gravely, "I know it's dangerous, but..."
"My younger brother's legs are disabled. If he wants to stand up from his wheelchair, he needs Water of Life worth thirty billion. Even if I risk my life hunting monsters, it'll take me years to earn that much. But if I can get this Dragon Egg, all our problems will be solved..."
"Sure!"
Thinking of the mere 680 million left in his account, Jiang Li smiled. "We'll split the money from selling the Dragon Egg, half each!"
"Brother Jiang, you..."
Hearing that, Luo Feng froze, unable to believe his ears.
"You're kind and generous. Since you call me Brother Jiang, I'll treat you as my younger brother."
Jiang Li smiled. "If you can do this much for your younger brother, why can't I?"
During his battle with Kitahara Tsuyoshi, Luo Feng had done everything he could to find people who could come to Jiang Li's aid.
Although he hadn't ultimately been able to help, Jiang Li remembered the gesture.
And along the way, Luo Feng had treated Jiang Li like an older brother, too!
