Although the East Sea Azure Dragon was eating slowly, it still took only a few minutes to devour a large chunk of the Sea Serpent King's body.

A large gash appeared on the seventh inch of the Sea Serpent King's corpse, almost halfway down, nearly reaching the spine.

Xu Qing was located near the spine.

Looking at the constantly swaying fleshy walls, Xu Qing knew he was about to meet the East Sea Azure Dragon of the East Sea. "Little Azure Dragon, I wonder if you've eaten your fill? It would be best if you were, so you can set off on your journey."

As he spoke, Xu Qing drew back the bowstring, and seven metal arrows were ready to be fired, just like the Sea Serpent King.

The sharp arrowheads gleamed coldly, aimed at the increasingly violently shaking flesh wall ahead; the East Sea Azure Dragon was about to devour it.

In a short period of time, Xu Qing's aura also accumulated to its peak. The invisible sharp energy even cut cracks in the flesh in front of him.

In this state, Xu Qing's entire being began to merge with his spirit and energy.

A faint resonance began to occur between the body, mind, and consciousness, and Xu Qing passively entered a state of Mind's Eye, where various colors appeared.

The enormous dragon head was tearing and biting, and all its movements were seen by Xu Qing; it had nowhere to hide.

A sense of control slowly emerged. Xu Qing felt that the moisture in the air, the breeze, and the light all seemed to move and change according to his thoughts.

"What is this?" Xu Qing felt as if he had become the master of this space, and a very magical feeling arose spontaneously.

At that moment, a tearing sound came, and the flesh in front had become so thin that you could even see the shadows through it.

Soon, the East Sea Azure Dragon opened its jaws again and lunged at them.

Now!

Xu Qing stopped thinking about that strange feeling, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, like a drawn sword.

Boom!

With a soft sound, seven jet-black metal arrows shot out, piercing through the fleshy wall in front and disappearing into the dark shadow.

The East Sea Azure Dragon never expected that it would be attacked while eating, and that the attack would come from within its food.

Seven arrows pierced its mouth, tearing open its gaping maw, severing its tongue, and riddling its skull with holes.

Roar!

The East Sea Azure Dragon's head looked like a plastic bag riddled with holes, blood gushing out. It instinctively roared and struggled, writhing and turning in the seawater in a deathly manner.

"Despicable and shameless humans!" The East Sea Azure Dragon instantly realized that he had fallen into a trap.

There was a powerful human who hid inside the corpse of the Sea Serpent King and became the sixth strongest!

No wonder it spent so many days probing but couldn't find anything wrong; the other side had already taken it into account.

The fleshy walls burst open, Xu Qing leaped out, standing atop the Sea Serpent King's corpse, watching the East Sea Azure Dragon of the East Sea tumble and struggle in the water.

"Sorry, the food was a bit prickly. It's your fault for starting from the seventh inch, so don't blame me," Xu Qing said, shrugging with a smug look on his face.

If the East Sea Azure Dragon of the East Sea hadn't attacked the Sea Serpent King's vital spot, it wouldn't have suffered like this.

"Human! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" The East Sea Azure Dragon knew it was doomed; its head injury was too severe, fatal.

It could clearly feel that life was slipping away and its consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

However, it was unwilling to accept that it had been outmaneuvered by humans, and in such a humiliating way.

It died tragically without ever engaging in combat or unleashing its powerful abilities.

On its deathbed, the East Sea Azure Dragon mustered its last breath, twisted its massive body, raised its tail, and slammed it directly down towards Xu Qing's location.

"Oh dear, you still want to hit me before you die? You have guts, but it's meaningless," Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, and the God-Splitting Silk flew out, intertwining in the air to form a narrow, rectangular killing net.

The enormous tail slammed down like a long whip, crashing heavily onto the killing net.

Pfft!

Blue scales flew, blood spurted out, and the attack was blocked.

The East Sea Azure Dragon felt a sharp pain in its tail, and its blurred consciousness could no longer hold on. It simply dissipated, dying in extreme agony.

The sea quickly calmed down, and the corpses of the dragon and the snake floated on the surface, creating a spectacular sight.

These two King Level monsters, who once dominated the East Sea, have both perished!

Over the past few decades, these two King Level monsters have continuously launched beast tides, unleashing billions of ocean monsters to attack the land, resulting in numerous casualties among Huaxia.

Now that they are dead, they can comfort the spirits of the fallen Fighter.

"Well done," Xu Qing gave a thumbs-up, praising himself.

Without these two King Level monsters, the sea monsters in the East Sea China Sea will no longer form a beast tide to attack the War Base.

For a long time to come, there will be no more wars, unless a new King Level monster appears and once again rules the East Sea.

By then, Xu Qing will definitely have broken through to the War God Level, and even if there are King Level monsters, he will kill them no matter how many come.

"It's about time we headed back," Xu Qing said, stretching.

Then, he stripped the precious materials from the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King.

Materials from Lord-level Monster are optional, but materials from King Level monsters should be collected as they are very valuable.

"The body is too big to carry, so let's just cut off the head and take it back," Xu Qing thought.

Next, Xu Qing chopped off the heads of the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King.

"A dragon and a snake would be perfect decorations for the War Base, and they could also deter those sea monsters—a win-win situation," Xu Qing planned.

"Little White, come pick me up, it's time to go back," Xu Qing called out.

On a small island in the distance, the Smart Fighter Jet Little White immediately took off and sped towards Xu Qing's location.

Xu Qing tied the heads of the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King with ropes, hung them under the fighter jet, and then flew with them to the War Base.

The Huangpu River, War Base.

On the tower, a taxi driver on guard duty suddenly saw a dark shadow appear on the horizon and immediately picked up his binoculars.

"This is... Good heavens! A dragon's head and a snake's head, could it be..." The soldier was startled and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to report.

"What? You're saying a fighter jet came carrying a dragon's head and a snake's head?!" In the command room, Commander Li suddenly stood up, his voice rising involuntarily.

All the officers around looked over.

"Quickly, bring up the image immediately!" Commander Li ordered.

Soon, an image appeared on the large screen in the command center: a silver-gray fighter jet was approaching, less than a few kilometers away from the War Base.

Most strikingly, two enormous heads hung beneath the fighter jet: a dragon's head and a snake's head.

"My God! This is... the East Sea Azure Dragon!" Everyone recognized it the moment they saw the dragon's head.

The East Sea Azure Dragon, a King Level monster that has dominated the East Sea for decades, is renowned for its power and prestige.

Commander Li stared wide-eyed at the scene, mouth agape, speechless.

"No mistake, it's that East Sea Azure Dragon, and the snake head is the Sea Serpent King!" An officer pulled up an old picture and found it to be exactly the same.

After the facts were confirmed, everyone present gasped in shock.

The East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King, two King Level monsters, have had their heads chopped off!

"Quick, quick, everyone go out to greet them!" Commander Li snapped out of his daze, his whole body trembling slightly. He knew very well that this was not a dream.

A group of officers hurriedly left the command room and went outside.

At this moment, the Smart Fighter Jet Little White had arrived above the base. Its two enormous dragon and snake heads were facing the base, and their lifeless eyes sent a chill down the spines of the taxi drivers inside.

The cabin doors opened, Xu Qing jumped out, landing in front of the group.

"So many people? They're all here to see this thing, right? What do you think? Is it good?" Xu Qing asked with a smile.

Everyone's lips twitched. Was it just a matter of whether it looked good or not? These were the heads of the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King! And you actually brought them back!

"Xu Qing, on behalf of the Fighter who sacrificed their lives to resist the beast tide, I want to say thank you!" Commander Li stepped forward and bowed to Xu Qing.

You could vaguely see that his eyes were a little moist.

"Oh dear, don't do that, it'll shorten your lifespan," Xu Qing reacted just like last time, jumping several meters away.

Seeing the same scene, this time, none of the officers present laughed. Instead, they all bowed to Xu Qing in a very solemn manner.

"Alright, alright, don't be so serious, I'm scared. These two heads are a gift from me. You can find a place to hang them up; they'll make great decorations," Xu Qing waved his hand and suggested.

Commander Li was surprised, "You're going to give it to us?"

"Otherwise what? I don't want it. I've already extracted the material. Here, will you buy it?" Xu Qing put down a large package.

"Of course I'll accept it," Commander Li laughed heartily. How could he refuse such a good deal?

The materials from King Level monsters are something you can't buy even if you have money.

This time, Xu Qing went out to sea and defeated the two King Level monsters, the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King. It couldn't be better.

"Okay, then I'll give it to you. Just transfer the money to my Warrior account," Xu Qing nodded.

"Xu Qing, you killed those two King Level monsters, which has at least bought this place a year or two of peace and reduced a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice. In return, let me treat you to a meal," Commander Li said.

"No need, I'm in a hurry to go home. My wife is there, and once I'm done with my work, I'll definitely be home as soon as possible," Xu Qing waved his hand, refusing.

Upon hearing this, Commander Li and everyone else were stunned, looking at Xu Qing with surprise. He was married?

They only knew that Xu Qing was Number One on the Black Dragon Ranking and Invincible War God, but they didn't know that Xu Qing was already married.

"Hmph, you don't doubt that I'm lying, do you? My wife is very beautiful," Xu Qing knew some of them didn't believe him.

"Am I prettier than you?" an officer joked.

Xu Qing rolled his eyes. "Go away, get out of here. What are you talking about? This is called handsome. At school, they all call me Handsome Xu."

Everyone was amused; they probably called him "Handsome Xu" instead of "Handsome Xu."

"Is it that girl surnamed Qin?" Commander Li seemed to remember something. He recalled that the girl walking with the Xu Family's daughter at that banquet was indeed very beautiful and had a great presence.

"Yes, that's right, how about it? Isn't it as beautiful as I said?" Xu Qing said with a proud look on her face.

Commander Li laughed, "That's right, she's very beautiful. Her looks, figure, and temperament are all outstanding. She's a good girl."

"Hehe, let me tell you another secret: my wife pursued me," Xu Qing said smugly.

Upon hearing his words, everyone's expressions became ambiguous. "Wow, there's a story here."

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back now, bye-bye," Xu Qing said, seeing their gossipy expressions and having no intention of continuing the conversation. She quickly slipped away, crawled into the cabin, and untied the rope.

Thump!

Two enormous heads landed, and Xu Qing, aboard the Smart Fighter Jet, transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and disappeared into the distance.

The crowd was quickly drawn to the dragon and snake heads before them, and they gathered around, scrutinizing them and exclaiming in amazement.

Compared to the head of the Sea Serpent King, the head of the East Sea Azure Dragon was in a much more tragic state.

The Sea Serpent King's head only had one bloody hole, while the East Sea Azure Dragon's head had a total of seven bloody holes. Just by seeing these bloody holes, you could tell how gruesome its death was.

Even a King Level monster with so many holes in its head wouldn't survive long.

"Commander, I never dreamed that these two King Level monsters would one day die at the hands of us humans," a middle-aged officer said with deep emotion.

Since the Grand Nirvana, the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King have dominated the East Sea region, constantly launching beast tides.

The Huaxia Military had long hated these two King Level monsters to the core, but since they lived in the sea, they were completely helpless against them.

The ocean is vast, and sea monsters are endless; human armies cannot penetrate it and can only passively defend.

Now, with these two King Level monsters slain by Xu Qing, he can truly feel triumphant.

Commander Li nodded. "Yes, I never imagined that these two beasts would actually be killed and their heads severed one day. It was all thanks to Xu Qing that this heroic feat was accomplished."

"This time, we owe him a huge favor."

"Well, what should we do with these two heads?" Everyone looked at Commander Li.

"Take it through a preservative treatment, then hang it up as a decoration for our base, so those sea monsters can see what happens to their king!" Commander Li said coldly.

"Yes, we'll arrange it right away," the subordinates replied emphatically.

At this time, Xu Qing had already returned to the Jiangnan Base City.

"Finally back again," Xu Qing said as he stepped out of the fighter jet and took the elevator to the 88th floor.

No one was home; Qin Lin should be at school right now.

Xu Qing a shower, then lay on the sofa in the living room, eating snacks and fruit, reading comics, and then fell asleep without realizing it.

In the evening, Qin Lin returned from school.

Seeing the shoes on the shoe rack, Qin Lin knew Xu Qing was back. "I guess he's asleep on the sofa again."

She walked into the living room and saw that it was indeed the same situation, a familiar development.
