'Swoosh!'
'Swoosh!'
Two figures moved like lightning dragons, carving a path through the monster horde toward the Iron Armor Dragon's lair—the ruined Carrefour Supermarket!
"Quick! Don't get bogged down fighting, or the beast horde will pin us down!"
A War God barked in a low voice. He was none other than Wang Tong, the same War God who had scouted the scene for Li Yao earlier.
Fighting alongside him was War God Li Kan.
"Damn it, why are there so many!"
Li Kan, hot-tempered and foul-mouthed, cursed as he burst out of a pack of massive 'Bloodthirsty Tanks,' only to be immediately hemmed back in by a swarm of sharp-tusked Ironhide Boars.
Under the relentless, death-defying charge of these hundreds of beast generals, even a high-level War God found it exhausting to handle, let alone with three even more terrifying Lord-level monsters lurking.
"ROAR!"
A thunderous roar split the air.
A blurry phantom materialized ahead of the three low-level Lord monsters. As its form solidified, it was the fearsome Iron Armor Dragon, which had just laid its egg. Smoke of fury billowed from its nostrils, and its fiery red pupils locked onto the two humans who had disturbed its egg-laying.
"Beast, die!"
Wang Tong bellowed, tearing a bloody path through the monster horde as he charged at the Iron Armor Dragon.
But what met him was a thick-skinned 'Bloodthirsty Tank.' Though it was a low-level Lord, its defense was terrifying—even most mid-level Lords couldn't match its toughness.
The Bloodthirsty Tank was massive, but its speed was anything but slow.
In the span of a breath, it collided head-on with Wang Tong.
"BANG!"
Though Wang Tong was a high-level War God, the Bloodthirsty Tank's full-force charge still halted him in his tracks.
That brief pause was enough for the beast horde to swarm him again, and for a time, monster corpses flew everywhere.
The Iron Armor Dragon sensed the danger these two humans posed. It glanced back at the supermarket interior—the dragon egg was less than a kilometer away!
If the battle raged here and damaged the egg, it would be destroyed.
"ROAR!"
The Iron Armor Dragon let out a low growl, then suddenly burst outward. As a series of terrifying sonic booms rang out, Wang Tong and Li Kan's eyes lit up: "Just as we thought!"
Having just laid its egg, the Iron Armor Dragon dared not fight near its lair to protect it!
With that, freed from the horde's entanglement, Wang Tong and Li Kan's odds of victory soared!
"BOOM!"
Just as the two prepared to give chase.
"Huh?!"
"What's that!"
"Damn it, where did that Psychic come from!"
A streak of white light crashed into the Carrefour Supermarket from the other end!
Jiang Li's impact!
Not only did the two War Gods' faces twist in shock, but even the fleeing Iron Armor Dragon felt its heart nearly stop!
At that moment.
Jiangnan Base City, Main Urban District.
Huayao Peak Hilltop Villa.
"Alright, I understand!"
Venina closed the communicator and looked helplessly at Li Yao. "Yao, all the mercenaries refused our request once they heard the mission was to attack Limit Martial Arts Hall martial artists in the 'Hanxia Kingdom.'"
"Not surprising."
Li Yao squinted. "Having four War Gods accept our private hire is already enough."
The Hanxia Kingdom had long been known as a forbidden zone for mercenaries. Unless invited by the military to help defend a base city, any mercenary entering Hanxia through irregular channels would be deemed an invader, and the military would deploy troops to wipe them out.
If even setting foot in Hanxia was nerve-wracking, attacking Limit Martial Arts Hall martial artists within its borders was unthinkable.
But.
While mercenary groups dared not enter Hanxia, their War God-level members could accept Venina's invitation as private individuals.
After all, many War Gods would team up to hunt Lord-level monsters.
"Yao, be careful yourself."
Venina's eyes held a trace of worry. "In my current identity, I can't fight alongside you."
If Jiang Li were an ordinary martial artist, killing him would be simple.
But after checking the access restrictions, Venina knew full well that behind him lay high-ranking figures in the Martial Arts Hall.
If she participated, once the matter was exposed, it would implicate the entire Bocainas Family.
"Don't worry!"
"That one has already agreed—if needed, he'll lend me a hand once!"
Li Yao's eyes blazed with murderous intent, brimming with confidence. "I'll make sure this Jiang Li ends up with not even bones left!"
"Li, we've entered the territory. Meet at location C18 in 003 City in half an hour. I've sent you the coordinates!"
"Good!"
Li Yao hung up the communication and instructed Venina to report Jiang Li's location at all times.
Soon.
Two saucer-shaped Azure Fighters took off from the mountaintop airport of Huayao Peak, speeding eastward.
On the other side.
Jinghua Base City.
Among the base cities of the Hanxia Kingdom, this was the one with the most geniuses.
Since the era of the Great Nirvana, Jinghua Base City had provided dozens of genius trainees to the training camps of the two major martial arts halls, and seventeen of them had become War Gods.
On the main road of Jinghua Base City, inside a special vehicle of the Thunderbolt Club.
"I understand!"
Lei Meng hung up the phone, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes. "HR Alliance, S-level authority in the Hanxia Kingdom region? Could it be Venina of the Bocainas Family?"
"Why would they be checking Ling Ling's information?"
"Could it be that Jiang Li really did that thing?"
Insufficient authority to access data would trigger the protection mechanism.
Lei Meng had investigated for several days before finding out that it was an authorized query from the HR Alliance.
Connecting the dots, Lei Meng couldn't help but think of the sky-high bounty.
Given the Vulture Scorpion's nature, if they learned who killed their only son, they would retaliate against the killer's entire family. With their ruthlessness, it wasn't impossible!
"I need to report this to the club master and Hong!"
Lei Meng made a prompt decision. He and Li Yao were both high-level War Gods.
In terms of strength, Lei Meng was slightly stronger.
But if Li Yao was going to retaliate, he definitely wouldn't go alone—he would absolutely bring some helpers along.
Moreover, in this state, Lei Meng wasn't naive enough to think his identity as an Inspector could suppress Li Yao!

Chapter 45: First Speaker: Don't Touch Jiang Li!
Over in Jiangnan Base City.
Venina's phone vibrated. Seeing the caller, a look of extreme surprise appeared on her face.
"Venina." The voice was slightly high-pitched, the tone dripping with arrogance!
"Speaker."
Venina immediately became extremely respectful.
This was the highest authority of the HR Alliance Council, controlling more than half of the world's economy, the leader of the entire Underground Alliance. One could imagine how high his status was!
"Venina, listen carefully!"
The voice on the other end of the communication instantly turned icy cold. "The Council absolutely forbids you from touching Jiang Li or his family. If discovered, you, along with the entire Bocainas Family, will face the Alliance's harshest sanctions!"
"What!"
Venina's face changed drastically, and she was thrown into panic.
However.
The communication had already been cut off!
"Yao!"
"Yao, the Alliance Speaker personally called me, forbidding us from making a move on Jiang Li and his relatives!"
Venina didn't dare hesitate and immediately connected Li Yao's communication.
In that instant, Venina had already guessed the gist. For the Alliance Speaker to personally call and issue such a stern warning, threatening sanctions against the entire family...
In all the world, there were only two people who could do that!
Hong and Thunder God!
"What!"
