Kill

Bases set up by numerous global factions surrounded the lake.

Quite a few staff members stared nervously at the life detector screens.

"This expert is moving so fast!"

"The underground river's current seems to be barely hindering him."

"He's definitely a Councilor-level Mental Power Master. Could he be East from India?"

Watching the red dot representing Zhou Hao rapidly approach the light dot representing the shrimp-type Beast Emperor through the underground waterways, many staff members discussed the matter in astonishment. There were already few Mental Power Masters worldwide, and even fewer who had reached the Councilor level. Most of the staff guessed that this expert was India's foremost Mental Power Master.

"The Beast Emperor moved!"

Someone could not help crying out. Dozens of linear light-dot tentacles on the screen shot toward the red dot at incredible speed, and many War Gods and staff members began worrying for Zhou Hao.

This was a Beast Emperor-level monster!

Once struck by it, even someone wearing a Black God Suit would be severely injured. After two or three hits, even a Councilor-level expert would die.

That was precisely why, apart from Hong and Thor, no Councilor-level expert in the world dared fight a Beast Emperor. The risk was simply too great.

Yet before long, disbelief filled all their eyes.

On the screen, the countless glowing tentacles vanished inch by inch shortly after coming into contact with the red dot, as though they had been swallowed by a greedy snake.

This undoubtedly meant that a great number of the Beast Emperor's tentacles had been severed.

No one had expected this unfamiliar Councilor-level Mental Power Master to injure the Beast Emperor in a single exchange.

"Quick, look! The Beast Emperor is running away!!!"

"The Beast Emperor is afraid!"

"Not good, the Beast Emperor is about to break the surface! Run, everyone, run!"

When they saw the enormous light dot rapidly moving upward toward the lake's surface, terrified roars erupted from the various bases.

Then, figure after figure fled frantically from the bases like startled birds.

Fortunately, all of them possessed War God-level strength, so they were not slow.

Boom!!

In only a few dozen seconds, waves a hundred meters high surged across the lake. The water boiled and churned violently, while the wilderness itself trembled.

On the unattended screens inside the bases, the linear tentacles around the enormous light dot were rapidly disappearing.

Within the lake.

Zhou Hao's expression remained calm, but the four transparent Miniature Planets in his sea of consciousness spun madly, waves of powerful Mental Power surging forth.

The Magic Dragon Form condensed from the upgraded Heaven-Piercing Shuttle raged through the lake like a storm, shredding countless tentacles of the fleeing shrimp-type Beast Emperor. Fragments of flesh, severed tentacles, and copious blood spread through the water, staining more than half the lake crimson.

The shrimp-shelled monster let out wave after wave of piercing, agonized shrieks. Its enormous body, thousands of meters long, thrashed wildly, and its remaining tentacles churned the lake surface, making it faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it burst from the water. It had held the advantage only within the lake and underground waterways, but its body was simply too massive, making even turning difficult.

Especially after so many of its tentacles had been severed, the shrimp-type Beast Emperor had lost its primary means of attack. It could only rush out of the water and rely on its enormous size to battle Zhou Hao.

Boom!!

The nearly three-thousand-meter-long shrimp-type Beast Emperor was like a small island. The instant it burst from the surface, the lake water formed rolling tidal waves that spread in every direction.

Many staff members from the bases had yet to flee beyond the safe zone. At the sight of that colossal creature, their faces turned deathly pale.

In a battle between Beast Emperors, even the aftershock alone could severely injure or kill them.

But at that moment.

A figure followed it out of the water. Its speed abruptly surged, and in an instant, it caught up to the Beast Emperor.

Every staff member witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Within the shadow cast by the Beast Emperor's enormous body, a streak of golden light suddenly gathered. Then, like Peacock Spreading Feathers, it formed a semicircular golden fan.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Sharp whistling sounds soon rang through the air.

Countless rays of golden light shot toward the shrimp-type Beast Emperor's rock-like hide, filling the sky.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

The rock-like hide that even a full-force attack from an ordinary Planetary-level warrior could not pierce was effortlessly riddled with holes beneath the golden rain.

Screech!!

Before its death, the shrimp-type Beast Emperor released an ear-splitting cry that tore through the sky. Then its life force rapidly faded, the coldness in its eyes gradually disappeared, and it crashed heavily toward the lake.

Rumble~

The lake water churned without end, and the wilderness shook.

Yet all the fleeing staff members breathed sighs of relief. They knew their lives had been spared. But when they came back to their senses, they stared in astonishment at the figure in the Black God Suit floating above the lake.

This was a Beast Emperor!

Even Hong, the world's strongest expert, had been unable to do anything about it. He could only injure its tentacles, not kill it.

Yet now, it had been killed by an unfamiliar Mental Power Master.

Everyone was utterly shaken.

At the same time, they understood that the world's first Councilor-level expert to successfully kill a Beast Emperor had been born!

Inside the Smart Fighter Jets heading toward Mist Island.

The Councilor-level experts from the various global factions remained relatively composed. After all, they knew that Beast Emperors were not so easily killed.

This unfamiliar expert who had rashly entered the lake would probably flee the lakebed in a sorry state within minutes. That would be the better outcome. If things went worse, this unfamiliar expert might escape with grave injuries. The worst possibility was that he would anger the Beast Emperor, fail to withstand its attacks, and ultimately die beneath them.

Inside Hong's Smart Fighter Jet from the Limit Martial Hall.

Hong, Iceberg Councilor, Enchanting, and the other guards sat in silence.

"How much longer until we arrive?" Hong's deep voice sounded.

The intelligent system quickly replied, "Twenty-three minutes until arrival at Mist Island."

Hong frowned slightly. "Increase speed."

"Yes."

The fighter jet trembled faintly as its speed increased.

Hong looked at Iceberg Councilor. "Who is in charge of the base?"

Iceberg Councilor hurriedly replied, "It's Inspector Xue, who was recently transferred from the Northeast Base City."

"Call him and ask about the situation."

"Yes, Hall Master."

Iceberg Councilor immediately used his wristwatch to make the call.

Beep, beep~

The call connected quickly.

Before he could ask anything, Inspector Xue's excited, shocked voice came from the other end. "I-Iceberg Councilor, the Beast Emperor... the Beast Emperor is dead!"

Swish, swish.

Everyone's gaze focused on Iceberg Councilor.

Iceberg Councilor hurriedly asked, "Inspector Xue, what did you say? The Beast Emperor is dead?"

"Yes, that unfamiliar Mental Power Master killed the Beast Emperor. He just dragged its corpse onto the shore. The other factions probably already know. Iceberg Councilor, please inform the Head Hall Master immediately and have him come claim the Beast Emperor's corpse!" Inspector Xue's voice echoed through the wristwatch inside the fighter jet.

Hong's deep voice sounded. "I understand."

The cabin soon fell silent again, but everyone's breathing became unsteady.

Hong was no exception. He had vaguely guessed who this unfamiliar expert was, but that only made him more stunned. He had personally fought this shrimp-type Beast Emperor and naturally knew its strength.

It could be said that—

Even if the Cloud-Soaring Vine coordinated perfectly with him and increased his strength by fifty percent, he would still have less than a thirty percent chance of killing the Beast Emperor.
