In that instant.
Ye Xiao's eyes widened to their limit.
"What?"
He thought and thought, but he just couldn't come up with it.
The Flame Demon King did not retreat to his Red Abyss lair.
Surprisingly, they've managed to penetrate deep into human cities!
While Ye Xiao lured the Red Abyss Army outside the city to kill them one by one.
The Flame Demon King did the opposite and went straight to raid the enemy's base!
After Ye Xiao learned of this news...
Without saying a word.
We need to get back immediately.
But.
It will take at least several hours to get back to school from Red Cliff Fortress.
He waited until he got back.
Can schools still exist?
Upon thinking of this, Ye Xiao's face turned extremely grim.
And just then...
Ye Xiao suddenly heard a voice shouting from above the ruins.
" Ye Xiao! Is that you?"
When Ye Xiao heard the sound, he looked in the direction of the sound.
He was startled to see several familiar faces running towards him.
" Captain Zhao! Ah Qing!"
Ye Xiao recognized the two immediately upon seeing them.
The visitors were Zhao Hui and Ah Qing.
After the Red Abyss Rift exploded, the Flame Demon Army launched a massive invasion.
The two quickly joined the Jiang City army and fought bravely against the invading Flame Demon Army.
They heard that a mysterious person had not only seduced all the Flame Demon in the city, but had even killed them all.
This directly relieved a significant amount of pressure on the military.
Currently, this mysterious person enjoys extremely high prestige within the military and is known to everyone.
Zhao Hui and Ah Qing also saw the video footage.
But their intuition told them...
The people in the picture look familiar; it seems to be Ye Xiao!
But they couldn't figure that out.
Until now.
They saw the boy on the ruins of Red Cliff Fortress.
" Ye Xiao, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Hui quickly asked with concern.
Ah Qing went even further, asking bluntly, " Ye Xiao, is that mysterious person everyone's talking about online you?"
Ye Xiao was taken aback.
"A mysterious person? Who is he? I don't know."
Ah Qing said, "It's that mysterious person who killed tens of thousands of Flame Demon all by himself!"
Ye Xiao smiled upon hearing this, making no attempt to hide his reaction.
"If that's what you're saying, then that person must be referring to me."
These words were spoken.
Zhao Hui and Ah Qing both showed expressions of shock and disbelief.
"You, you really killed all the Flame Demon in the city all by yourself?"
"That's way too much!"
"You've become so strong since I last saw you!"
"Are you still the Ye Xiao we know?"
"..."
The two were utterly shocked and horrified.
Ye Xiao quickly said, "Now is not the time to discuss this. The Flame Demon King has appeared above the city. I need to get back to the city immediately. Do you have any ideas?"
I heard that the Flame Demon King had descended upon the city.
The two were startled.
Zhao Hui made a quick decision. "I have a way! I'll contact the military right away and have their helicopters take you back!"
then.
Zhao Hui completed the communication in less than two minutes.
On the temporary helipad at Red Cliff Fortress.
Zhao Hui, Ah Qing, and Ye Xiao boarded the helicopter and flew towards Jiang City at top speed.
" Captain Zhao, I didn't know you could fly a helicopter!"
Ye Xiao smiled and tried to ease the tense atmosphere.
Ah Qing, standing nearby, said, " Captain Zhao used to be an all-around warrior. He could handle anything—airplanes, tanks, vehicles, ships—there wasn't a single one he couldn't do."
Then, Ah Qing changed the subject.
"But Ye Xiao, how exactly did you manage to kill all the Flame Demon all by yourself?"
"How many Flame Demon have you killed?"
Ye Xiao replied, "More than 20,000, I guess."
These words were spoken.
Ah Qing's expression of shock deepened.
At this time...
Zhao Hui interrupted Ah Qing.
" Ah Qing, you'll assist me in piloting the helicopter."
"Also, don't tell anyone about Ye Xiao's secret, understand?"
Ah Qing paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Understood, Captain Zhao. I won't say anything."
However, Ah Qing still didn't quite understand why Ye Xiao couldn't speak up when he clearly had a chance to become a big star.
At this moment, Zhao Hui reminded Ye Xiao.
" Ye Xiao, you're riding too high right now."
"Just today's events have made you famous worldwide."
"However, fame is not a good thing for you right now."
"Many people will be watching you."
Zhao Hui has gone through decades of hard work and struggle.
He has an incredibly profound understanding and insight into what he said.
Ye Xiao nodded. " Captain Zhao, I understand."
Zhao Hui said, "Currently, many reporters are digging into your background, and I've even heard that some secret research institutions are already watching you."
"For example, the researchers at Primordial Pharmaceuticals are very curious about your secrets."
When Ye Xiao heard the words " Primordial Pharmaceuticals "...
He immediately understood the seriousness of Zhao Hui's warning.
Nothing associated with " Primordial Pharmaceuticals " is ever a good thing.
Under the flight of a helicopter.
It only took 15 minutes to reach the city.
The sky over Jiang City.
The dark red sky seemed to have been ripped open, and a huge claw burning with black flames reached out from the crack and gripped the edge of the void.
A colossal fiery body, hundreds of feet tall, burst forth from the crack, hovering above Jiang City like a moving volcano.
Flame Demon King!
The true master of the Red Abyss, an ancient being who has slumbered for ten thousand years, has finally descended.
This moment.
The entire city felt as if fire had descended from the heavens.
Everyone felt as if they were in a hellish, high-temperature environment.
Countless people witnessed the appearance of the Flame Demon King.
Their faces were filled with shock and despair.
"What, what is that?"
"It's the Flame Demon King!!!"
"The most terrifying monster in the Red Abyss World!"
"How did it suddenly appear in the sky above our city?"
"We're doomed! We're finished!"
"Run away quickly!"
"..."
Inside the Martial Arts Tower in Jiang City.
The group of important figures also learned of the Flame Demon King's arrival over the city the moment they realized it.
They all wore expressions of shock and fear.
They immediately issued the orders.
"Where is the army? Where is our army?"
"What? They're still ambushing the Flame Demon Army at the Red Abyss Rift?"
" The Flame Demon King is already above the city, are they still on the front lines?"
"Come back with the troops immediately!"
"No, we have to get out of here right now! The Flame Demon King will destroy the entire city!"
"Where are the Transcendentalist responsible for protecting the Martial Arts Tower?"
"What? Those Transcendentalist have already left the city? What's the reason?"
"Bullshit! What nonsense about being safe and leaving! They were clearly afraid of the Flame Demon King; these cowards actually ran away!"
"Quickly request support from Transcendentalist in other cities!"
"Immediately dispatch helicopters to get us out of Jiang City!!!"
"..."
