Chapter 4927: Side Story -- City 15 Editor: Henyee Translations It was another Crimson Flame Tiger, and its abilities were clearly stronger! What! Everyone was stunned. Even Tan Yuan and Li Xiong frowned deeply, looking nervous. They could clearly sense the strength of this Crimson Flame Tiger’s aura, which had reached a level that could overwhelm them. Level 8! This was a Level 8 Foreign Beast. Heavens, they only knew that there was a Crimson Flame Tiger here that had just advanced to Level 7, but they had never imagined that there would actually be an even stronger existence here. What could they do? Both of them were only at Level 7, so dealing with the small Crimson Flame Tiger was no problem at all. They were more than enough. However, if it was a Level 8 Foreign Beast, it was completely capable of killing them. However, compared to Li Xiong, Tan Yuan was still relatively calm. This was because he knew that the empress was also in Level 8. Thus, as long as the empress was willing to move, she would at least be able to stop this Crimson Flame Tiger. The second Crimson Flame Tiger released a low growl, as if summoning the first Crimson Flame Tiger. Naturally, it was impossible to get a response. The aura it exuded became heavier and heavier, and its killing intent also became stronger and stronger. These humans... all had to die! "You guys go, General Tan and I will bring up the rear!" Li Xiong immediately said. This was a difficult decision. Ifthey stayed behind to cover their retreat, he and Tan Yuan would have to face an enraged Level 8 Foreign Beast. It was highly possible that they would be killed within a minute! However, these young people were the future of humanity, so he was willing to make such a sacrifice. Ling Han nodded internally. This person was responsible. Meanwhile, Tan Yuan looked towards the empress, his expression filled with hope. "Ang!" The Crimson Flame Tiger leaped out, pouncing towards them. Its massive figure cast a long shadow on the top of everyone’s heads. A terrifying aura pressed down, and those below Level 7 could not even think of resisting. This was the crushing advantage of a superior cultivation level. Oh no, they couldn’t even escape! Shua, right at this moment, an incredibly brilliant saber light streaked past, slashing out towards the Crimson Flame Tiger. The timing of this strike was really too ingenious. It just happened to be the instant when the Crimson Flames Tiger pounced out, and there was no way to change its course at all. However, this Crimson Flames Tiger was a Level 8 Foreign Beast, so it wouldn’t be killed so easily. It still brandished its claws to parry the saber light. Pu! Blood sprayed through the air. The saber light swept past, and the Crimson Flame Tiger was actually forced backwards, its claws dripping with blood. This was far too astonishing. With a single slash, the Foreign Beast was actually wounded. It should be known that Foreign Beasts had high attack and defense in the first place, and the Level 8 Foreign Beasts were even more terrifying. To say nothing of the fact that they could not be killed by missiles, even if they were bombarded with nuclear weapons, unless they were in the centre of the explosion, they would still be able to survive. From this, it could be seen with how this saber strike had wounded a Level 8 Crimson Flame Tiger, how astonishing the power of this attack was. "Ang!" The Crimson Flame Tiger landed on the ground, and couldn’t help but release a low roar, appearing both furious and fearful. At this moment, the person who had drawn the saber also revealed his true appearance. This was a man who looked to be only in his forties. He was dressed in a tight-fitting suit of green, exuding a heroic spirit. "Father!" In the Demon Sea team, a young man suddenly called out, an expression of wild joy on his face. His name was Lu Songlai, and he was a prodigy from the Demon Sea City’s martial arts academy. He was only 21 years old, yet he was already a Level 4 cultivator. This could be considered astonishing. This was because he had a good father. "Commander Lu!" Tan Yuan and Li Xiong exclaimed at the same time. They both looked at him in admiration. Lu Hao, the commander of the army, a Level 9 elite, and was also one of the strongest elites of the nation. Even in comparison of the whole world, he could be considered one of the top elites. Lu Hao nodded, but his eyes were still fixed on the Crimson Flames Tiger. His aura had tightly locked onto this Foreign Beast. The Crimson Flame Tiger roared, and suddenly turned around and fled. After reaching Level 8, the Foreign Beast had definitely developed intelligence. Thus, when it realized that its opponent was far stronger than it, it immediately chose to flee. "Still trying to escape?" Lu Hao shouted lightly, and immediately charged over with his saber. Shua, the saber light was like a rainbow. How fast was the speed of a Level 9 elite? With a big stride, he had already caught up to the Crimson Flame Tiger. His long saber slashed out, slashing towards the Crimson Flame Tiger. The Crimson Flame Tiger was exasperated. He suddenly turned around, opened his mouth, and spat out a fiery flame. This was its strongest killing move, fiery flames that could burn high-grade alloys, which was terrifying. "I was waiting for this move from you!" Lu Hao laughed lightly, and with a wave of his long saber, shua, the head of the Crimson Flame Tiger was forcefully severed. —With his abilities, dealing with a Level 8 Foreign Beast was actually a very easy matter. The only thing he was wary of was the fiery flames of the Crimson Flames Tiger, which also had strong destructive power against a Level 9 elite. Thus, he had held back when he had attacked previously. When the Crimson Flame Tiger used this move, he naturally had no more reservations, and dealt with the Crimson Flame Tiger with a single strike. As expected of Level 9! Everyone’s hearts trembled as they watched. Then, an incomparable admiration welled up in their hearts. Previously, when the Crimson Flame Tiger had appeared, it had brought them such despair. Then, Lu Hao had only delivered three strikes, and he had dealt with this beast that they thought was invincible. How could they not be impressed? "This is my father!" Lu Songlai introduced to everyone. Who cares if you had known before? This was the time for him to show off, "The strongest elite of humanity, Level 9!" Then, he looked towards Lu Hao, and asked, "Father, why have you come?" "I received news that it is very possible that there is an even stronger Crimson Flame Tiger here. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I deliberately made a trip." Lu Hao said smilingly, as he shook hands with Tan Yuan and Li Xiong, causing the two of them to look overwhelmed by his favour. That was a supreme elite of Level 9, and he actually took the initiative to shake hands with them, causing them to go numb with excitement, just like a minor cultivator that had just stepped onto the path of martial arts. Lu Songlai looked at the empress again, and said, "Miss Luan Xing, are you interested in joining the academy of martial arts of the Demon Sea City? I think that it would be a waste of your talent to stay in Zhou Su City. In terms of future prospects, our Demon Sea City is definitely brighter!" This action of publicly poaching one of their own was too much. Didn’t they see that the teachers and students of Zhou Su Martial Arts Academy were all present? However, Lu Songlai was completely unconcerned. His old man was one of the few elites of the Hua Nation. With such a background, so what if he publicly poached someone? Who would dare have any objections against him? The empress merely glanced at him coldly, completely having no intention of speaking. "Miss Luan Xing, I truly like you!" Lu Songlai directly confessed. This was a rare opportunity. If they returned to their respective campuses later, who knew when they would meet again. —Between the two cities, there were innumerable Foreign Beasts, and it was too difficult to even meet once. Ling Han stretched out a hand, "She is already taken, so you had best give up." "Oh, is that you?" Lu Songlai wore a haughty expression. Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of such a beautiful woman? Ling Han cracked a smile, and ignored him. F***! Lu Songlai looked furious. He did not think that the empress had disregarded him. Instead, he thought that the goddess had a strong personality. However, in his eyes, Ling Han’s disregard was too rude. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 "Do you dare to battle me?"
