Two Fall Guys

"The Speaker's calling?!"

Li Yao, who was about to arrive in City 003, instantly went pale.

Although he was famous throughout the world, compared with the Speaker of the HR Alliance, he was practically insignificant.

Even the Beyond War God Existence he'd persuaded to act in exchange for a favor was still far beneath the Speaker of the HR Alliance.

Aside from Hong and Thunder God, it was no exaggeration to call the Speaker of the Underground Alliance the Third Strongest in the World.

That wasn't because of his strength, but because of his terrifying power and status!

"Damn it!"

"Just what kind of background does this guy have?!"

Li Yao cursed furiously under his breath. The more things turned against him, the more certain he became that Jiang Li was the culprit. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and gnaw on his bones.

No!

His backing was so formidable. If Li Yao couldn't kill him this time, it would be even more impossible in the future!

"Venina, stay out of this!"

His eyes glinting coldly, Li Yao made his decision without hesitation. "As long as I kill Jiang Li, there won't be any evidence in the Wilderness Zone. Who would dare claim I did it? Even if the Speaker investigates, you can just pin all the blame on me!"

"I refuse to believe they'd punish the entire Polaris Family for the sake of a dead man!"

"But..."

Venina remained worried.

"No buts. Send me Jiang Li's location!"

As all sides stirred into action, Jiang Li still had no idea danger was closing in.

Standing on the Blood Shadow War Sword, he plunged down like a meteor and crashed into the first floor of Carrefour Supermarket.

The monsters guarding their lair were roused. A Bloodthirsty Tank rose abruptly, its enormous eyes widening, but before it could even react, a streak of red pierced its head. Blood sprayed everywhere!

"Roar!"

A shrill, frenzied roar instantly rang out for six or seven kilometers in every direction.

At the supermarket entrance, the monster horde that had been fighting Wang Tong and Li Kan all turned around and surged toward Carrefour Supermarket, howling wildly as they charged.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Jiang Li flew straight ahead on his sword. The Bloodshadow Warblade in his hand darted like a dragon bursting from the sea. With the physical strength of a Mid-Level War God and the psychic power of ten fused clone souls, every strike of the Bloodshadow Warblade unleashed more than a Hundred-Ton Force.

Even a Primary Lord would be badly injured taking one head-on, let alone a horde of Beast General Level monsters!

In an instant, severed limbs, blood, and corpses flew in every direction across the first floor of Carrefour Supermarket. It was a scene straight out of hell.

"Got it!"

With a sweeping slash, Jiang Li sent three Fire Scale Boars flying. Then he reached back and stuffed the Cyan Giant Egg into his materials pack.

Suddenly, a pile of human warriors' weapons and equipment caught his eye!

"I almost forgot!"

The moment he saw the pile of equipment, Jiang Li regretted charging straight inside. He should've thought of this sooner!

It was a very special kind of creature!

Whether Western dragons or Eastern dragons, legends said they all loved collecting treasures!

Although this Iron Armor Dragon was only a lesser dragon, it had faithfully upheld that tradition.

Jiang Li swept his gaze over the pile. There were four combat suits alone, all still in excellent condition.

The Iron Armor Dragon was a High Lord. Anyone who could fight it had to be a War God-level powerhouse.

"Probably Series 9 combat suits!"

Jiang Li quickly came to that conclusion.

Among all the War Gods in the world, Jiang Li was probably the only one still wearing a Series 7 combat suit.

It wasn't that he didn't want to upgrade...

He was just genuinely broke!

That wretched feeling of poverty was closing in on him again!!!

Could anyone believe that a Psychic and Mid-Level War God, practically invincible among War Gods, had a total net worth of only 680 million?

During the practical assessment, Zhuge Tao, a Senior War General, had casually handed over 500 million!

At market prices, a complete Series 9 combat suit cost 12 billion Hanxia Currency. Even at half price, it was still 6 billion!

"Four intact combat suits—secondhand, they could still fetch ten, maybe even twenty billion!"

"If they're SS-Class... they'd be worth a fortune!"

SS-Class Combat Suits were made from material that could withstand the bites and attacks of most King-level Monsters. At Limit Home, even half price was 60 billion!

Even an ordinary War God, or even a High-level War God, might not have that much to their name!

Even secondhand, they'd still be worth two or three hundred billion!

And there were weapons, too!

Jiang Li felt as if he'd crashed straight into a mountain of gold.

"Rumble!"

Just as countless thoughts raced through Jiang Li's mind, the Iron Armor Dragon charged back, its enormous body crashing into Carrefour Supermarket.

The Iron Armor Dragon had gone berserk. Even two High-level War Gods working together couldn't stop it.

"I'm not afraid of this Iron Armor Dragon, but if we start fighting, the Dragon Egg might not come out intact..."

Jiang Li quickly saw the problem.

He could always come back for the weapons and combat suits later.

Before the Iron Armor Dragon could crash into its lair, the Blood Shadow War Sword beneath Jiang Li's feet swept through a strange curve. He swung the Bloodshadow Warblade and burst straight through the wall on the other side!

The entire wall was blasted open, leaving a hole more than five meters across. Rebar and concrete flew everywhere.

"Rumble!"

Carrefour Supermarket shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Friend!"

"I'm Shadowblade Wang Tong. Let's team up against—"

The pursuing War God, Wang Tong, leaped forward. He saw a streak of white light burst out through the first floor of Carrefour Supermarket again. He hadn't even finished shouting when...

Jiang Li's figure vanished into the distance, moving far faster than a High-level War God.

"Damn, he's fast!"

"Where the hell did this Psychic come from?"

Bloodstains were faintly visible on Li Kan. He'd clearly sustained a minor injury. "What on earth is this guy trying to do?!"

And then!

They found out.

"Awooooo!!!"

An ear-piercing roar split the sky. As the terrifying howl swept through the air, it generated a sound wave that blasted in every direction!

The buildings around them crumbled in an instant. Steel bars snapped and walls collapsed!

Even some low-level beast soldiers were knocked down by the sound wave, blood streaming from their orifices...

The shrill, furious roar echoed throughout the entire City 003.

"Damn it! That Psychic must've stolen the Dragon Egg!"

The sound wave made Wang Tong's blood and energy churn.

The Dragon Egg was the Iron Armor Dragon's lifeblood. Someone had stolen it?

In an instant, the Iron Armor Dragon went completely berserk!

"Awooooo!!!"

Howls rang out everywhere, as if the other monsters were responding to the Iron Armor Dragon.

However...

Even though the Iron Armor Dragon's speed soared to an unprecedented peak, it still couldn't compare to a Psychic at the Mid-Level War God limit.

By the time it crashed out of Carrefour, Jiang Li was nowhere to be seen!

Then!

It abruptly swung around and, fueled by boundless fury, charged straight at Wang Tong and Li Kan!

"Are you kidding me?!"

Seeing the Iron Armor Dragon come crashing toward them like a small mountain, Wang Tong cursed in shock!

"Rumble!"

Almost at the same time, monsters of Beast General Level poured out from every opening on every floor of Carrefour Supermarket, from the first to the second... all the way up to the fifth. They surged forward like bullets from machine-gun barrels!

The Dragon Egg was gone. How could the monsters guarding the lair possibly escape the Iron Armor Dragon's wrath?
