Eagle Cry Gorge.
The once formidable natural barrier of towering mountains has been largely destroyed, replaced by a shockingly large basin.
Countless ice shards formed from beast blood scattered within, appearing under the dim sky like a starry river reflected in a lake at night.
The deathly silence was broken only when Ye Li's voice fell.
It took hundreds of law enforcement officers a while to come to their senses; their eyes still held uncontrollable horror, their breathing was disordered, and their faces were numb.
Taking in their reactions, Liu Jing nodded repeatedly, quite understanding.
He looked up in the direction where the boy had disappeared.
His expression was also filled with deep emotion.
He was not even twenty years old, yet Fourth-Tier Peak.
In less than five minutes, the Second Miss of the Northern Wu Family was killed, along with her lackey servants.
Immediately afterwards, he single-handedly dealt with a terrifying Beast Tide composed of thousands of Mutant Beasts... No, it's no longer a terrifying Beast Tide.
Compared to the hundred-foot-long ice dragon that the boy had conjured, the Beast Tide composed of thousands of low-level Mutant Beast was simply child's play.
Before this, if Liu Jing had heard that Huaxia had produced such a person, he would most likely have just laughed it off.
Deep down, they probably don't believe it.
These scions of prominent families, these young prodigies, just love to exaggerate.
Over the past few decades, Liu Jing has heard of countless Martial Prodigy who have been hailed as "future grandmasters" by the outside world.
But what was the result?
These so-called Martial Prodigy always encounter various unexpected events on their path to growth.
It wasn't because of a particular match that their mentality was ruined, causing them to be stuck at a certain rank for life; or it was because they accidentally died in the mouth of a high-level Mutant Beast during a Secret Realm adventure... and so on.
Liu Jing had already sampled enough of these kinds of things.
He also learned a lesson from this.
Most of the so-called rumors are just empty talk and grandiose claims.
Even if it were true, there would inevitably be some exaggeration involved.
It's possible that this young martial artist managed to withstand two moves from a fourth-level master, and by the time the news reached the outside world, it had become a story of a draw.
He is naturally another genius.
Therefore, apart from rankings specific to top universities or well-known top competitions, most other rumors, no matter how fantastical, are best taken with a grain of salt.
However, what he saw and heard today subtly changed his mindset...
Liu Jing looked around at the drastically changed surroundings compared to before, couldn't help but chuckle twice, and muttered to himself:
"So there really are monsters in this world..."
I was quite ignorant before.
I also need to carefully consider the battle report to come.
Behind Liu Jing, inside the camp.
Wu Jie stared blankly at the scene before her, her mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.
She only saw the surging Beast Tide approaching, the Green-Shirted Youth rushing out of the battle formation, soaring into the air, raising his hand to summon a majestic and terrifying ice dragon, and then the mountains trembled... the Beast Tide simply vanished.
And then...
Wu Jie's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes glazed over.
With her cultivation level at the fourth rank, second level, she was considered one of the strongest among the strong at Modu University.
At twenty-six years old, Da Wu is definitely considered a genius among Fourth-Tier Martial Artist.
He will definitely be able to break through to the Fifth Tier before he turns seventy.
Before this, Wu Jie had been quite pleased with herself for it.
However, after seeing the Green-Shirted Youth's previous performance, she felt no desire to catch up with him.
Not even a tiny bit.
There was only overwhelming disbelief and profound shock.
Her proud Wu family had been mercilessly crushed to pieces in the face of this unparalleled talent.
He had actually been thinking about revenge later.
If this angers him and he harbors resentment towards the entire Wu family, then decades later, the Northern Wu Family might be wiped out...
Thinking of this, a chilling shiver shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, Wu Jie's fair legs trembled uncontrollably.
She turned around abruptly and looked at Song Tao, the servant who was kneeling on the ground in shock.
With a pale face, she commanded:
"What happened this morning must not be mentioned to anyone when you get back, including your father and sister!"
Song Tao was already terrified, nodding repeatedly with trembling hands:
"Yes, yes!"
After passing through Eagle Cry Gorge, Ye Li headed towards the mountaintop.
His figure moved swiftly among the rocks and trees as if walking on flat ground; with the aid of the Sun-Chasing Wind-Riding Steps, his speed was quite remarkable.
Ye Li casually summoned the panel to check his previous gains.
[Slayed 520 Tier 1 Mutant Beast, Malice Points +5200!]
[Slayed 395 Tier Second-Tier Mutant Beast, Malice Points +7900!]
[Slayed seventy Tier Third-Tier Mutant Beast, Malice Points +3500!]
[Slayed three Tier 4 Mutant Beast, Malice Points increased by 4500!]
[Slayed a Fourth-Tier Heaven Pass Realm martial artist, Malice Points +!]
[Current Malice Points: Points]
It must be said that the Malice Points that each of these Mutant Beast can generate is pitifully small.
But his earlier guess turned out to be correct.
A fourth-tier Mutant Beast has awakened most of its intelligence will generate a much higher Malice Points than Third-Tier Mutant Beast that has just developed intelligence.
Unfortunately, he is still far inferior to a normal martial artist of the same level.
Let's try it out when we encounter a higher-level Mutant Beast in the future...
Ye Li nodded slightly, then put away the panel and continued flying towards the mountaintop.
In less than fifteen minutes, he had traversed most of Dangtian Mountain and arrived near the summit.
Gale Force swirled around the summit ahead.
A series of incredibly powerful azure tornadoes raged across the land ahead, constantly changing shape as if controlled by someone.
Each time they moved, a tremendous roar from the Mutant Beast would resound, vibrating their eardrums, and the stench of blood in the air would become stronger.
There is fighting...
Ye Li stepped out of the dense forest, sensing the powerful aura emanating from ahead, and his expression became slightly serious.
He looked up, straining his eyes to see as far as he could.
At the center of several tornadoes, a barefoot girl in a green dress stared coldly at two enormous Mutant Beast below. Tiny green vortexes seemed to swirl beneath her feet, allowing her to remain suspended in the air, her posture high above.
Her face was extremely beautiful, a perfect blend of cool elegance and youthful innocence, making her look like a beautiful work of art.
In Ye Li's perception.
The girl exuded a dangerous aura, far surpassing that of the former Family Head. Almost instantly, he felt a real threat, and his internal energy subconsciously began to circulate.
This is an instinctive reaction when encountering a powerful enemy.
In addition, he fought two equally terrifying and enormous Mutant Beast around the summit of Dangtian Mountain.
The identity of the girl in the blue dress is becoming increasingly clear.
Zuo Qingyu, the vice president of Fengyun University.
At this moment, she was battling two sixth-tier Mutant Beast. Although she herself was Sixth-Tier Martial Artist, she was able to exert complete dominance with every move she made.
The two sixth-tier Mutant Beast, each tens of meters long, possessed intelligence similar to that of humans, and stared at the tiny figure with hatred in their eyes.
Their enormous bodies were covered in lacerations, and blood gushed out, staining the earth below red.
Clearly, those extremely destructive tornadoes severely damaged them.
In contrast Zuo Qingyu's breathing was steady, though her clothes were slightly disheveled.
She was incredibly fast, her petite figure weaving and dodging through the air, nimbly avoiding the powerful attacks of the two Mutant Beasts. When she could no longer dodge, she would step into the void and strike with her bare body, creating a tremendous sound.
Every now and then, it would summon the swirling tornadoes around its body, tearing the bodies of the two Mutant Beast apart.
"..."
If this trend continues, it's really only a matter of time before Zuo Qingyu wins.
Should we try finishing him off?
Ye Li pondered for a moment, then decided to stick to the original plan and go to the Beast God Cult branch on the mountaintop first.
It wasn't that he didn't want to steal Zuo Qingyu's kill, but rather that he was simply powerless to do so.
That [Ice Dragon True Intent], with its power capable of killing a Fifth Tier martial artist, was just unleashed by him.
Along the way, although his internal energy was recovering rapidly, it only managed to recover to about 50% of its original level.
Even if all the true energy in his body were drained, the ice dragon he conjured would barely be able to seriously injure a Fifth Tier martial artist.
Not to mention the two powerful sixth-tier Mutant Beast.
If someone were to slap me with their claws, I'd probably be cut in half at the waist.
Low returns, high risks.
Let Principal Zuo deal with this himself...
Having made up his mind, Ye Li turned his gaze back to the Beast God Cult branch atop the mountain.
He then slightly restrained his breathing and exerted force with his feet.
The slender figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
At the same time.
In the distant sky.
In the midst of the tense battle, Zuo Qingyu glanced casually in the direction where the Green-Shirted Youth had disappeared.
