“The gathering place has been destroyed!” someone yelled. “The fearsome bear monster is approaching the Desolate Labyrinth!”
The people in the base city sat with each other, looking a little flustered.
“I heard that the base city doesn’t have an Emperor Tier Familiar,” another person said. “If it really comes, we won’t be able to withstand it.”
“It’s alright,” someone else said. “I heard that someone has gone back to inform the big boss. If that still doesn’t work, we can leave then.”
“Forget it,” the first person said. “You can continue to keep an eye here if you want. We’ll go back to the Earth Star first.”
There was a commotion on the stage in front of the labyrinth. Some wanted to stay for the show while others were rushing back.
The Brown-striped Earth Bear rushed straight at the Desolate Labyrinth after destroying the bazaar.
Thump… Thump…
The ground slightly shook.
The sky in the distance was pale yellow. The trees snapped, making rustling sounds as they brushed the ground. At the end of the plain, the huge beast emerged on the horizon under the sunset at dusk.
The moment the monster was spotted, countless hearts trembled in fear. This was the first time that many people saw an Emperor Tier Monster. According to legend, the Lord Tier Monsters were the wild, high-level monsters, whereas the King Tier Monsters could attack cities and seize territories. If there was no King Tier Monster Trainers to guard a base city, it could be easily destroyed.
Emperor Tier Monsters existed that stood at the summit of the Earth Star. Even in other worlds, the monsters were considered the most advanced monsters.
“So, Emperor Tier Monsters look like that. I’ve learned something today,” an onlooker said.
All the Familiars that were brought along by the Monster Trainers madly warned their owners through their Blood Contracts.
Danger! Danger!
Ka-Boom!
The arms of the Brown-striped Earth Bear, which were as sturdy as pillars, pierced through the ground and scooped up a huge piece of hardened rock. The piece of rock, which was about 22 feet wide, was catapulted upward.
Whiz!
The stuffy air was oppressive. In the next moment, there was a whistling sound that pierced through the sky.
“Attack!” ordered the many Monster Trainers guarding the labyrinth walls.
The Monster Trainers’ elemental attacks rained down upon the giant rock that was covered in yellow light in the air. It was completely destroyed before it could reach halfway.
Roar! The thrown stone was destroyed, infuriating the big Brown-striped Earth Bear. Its stout claws clung to the ground. Every time its claws slashed the ground, a deep ravine was dug.
Thud.
The gate of the gathering place in the Desolate Labyrinth opened. In the golden light, two energetic figures rushed out. One was a bronze body that exuded a glamorous luster.
A sharp Green Dragon Crescent Blade was dragged on the ground, plowing out a ravine wherever it ran through. The sharp point of the blade cut the rubble on the ground to pieces. The violent sparks contained an extremely frantic killing aura.
“Kill!” The Guan Yu Statue glared, full of murderous intent.
Beneath it, the horse, Red Hare, took a leap. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade turned into a golden shadow. It looked like an angry dragon emerging from the sea with its blades drawn, ready to spill blood. The blade fell from the sky.
“Kill!”
[Special characteristic]: Lord Guan Opens His Eyes, activated!
Normally, Lord Guan would not open his eyes. When he did, there would be casualties.
The Guan Yu bronze statue, which was promoted to Epic Grade by Gao Peng, had awakened Lord Guan’s special characteristic. When it opened its eyes, it could boost Lord Guan’s all-round physical strength by five times in a short period of time. The five folds of physical strength were not just in terms of lethality. Power, speed, sharpness, and hardness would all be amplified.
Tsk!
The knife was aimed at the neck of the Brown-striped Earth Bear. In the last moment of danger, the Brown-striped Earth Bear pulled back its neck.
The tip of the knife tore its nose and cheeks, deep into its bones. Its brain was almost split in half. Blood and flesh splashed everywhere.
Before the Brown-striped Earth Bear could respond, a vigorous black shadow cut through the void. It even left a depressing burst of clouds in the air due to its fast speed.
Boom!
A golden sword breaker hit the Brown-striped Earth Bear right in its face. It pierced inward along its cut wound, tearing its brain mercilessly.
The Brown-striped Earth Bear’s huge figure was raised up. It swung randomly a few times in the air, but it was thrown onto the floor with a loud thud. It was dead.
The Guan Yu Statue and Qin Qiong Statue approached the corpse of the Brown-striped Earth Bear.
[Special characteristic of Qin Qiong Statue]: Sure-kill Sword Breaker!
The Sure-kill Sword Breaker was a sure-kill weapon like its name suggested. It was a trump card that ensured a kill. When the weapons in hand were thrust out, their power would instantly surge. It was also made it easier for weapons that were thrust out to hit the enemy’s weakness.
The power of the Guan Yu Statue and the Qin Qiong Statue were derived from their own historical legends. Their abilities had been demonized and deified. They were not pure abilities anymore. Although the restrictions were high, they could also be extremely powerful when needed.
“That Emperor Tier Monster was killed in mere seconds?” There was a long silence before someone on the fence swallowed his saliva and spoke.
The Emperor Tier Monsters were of godly existence to them. They were almost inexorable. However, this Emperor Tier Monster was actually killed in seconds by two united Familiars.
In the eyes of these people, the fact that they could kill the Emperor Tier Monster in seconds showed that the abilities of the two Familiars were as strong as an Emperor Tier Monster. Otherwise, how could one manifest such a thrilling result?
However, they had overthought. The abilities of both the Guan Yu Statue and Qin Qiong Statue were explosive and executed with tacit understanding. If it couldn’t be instantly killed, the longer the delay, the lower their chances of victory.
Before the many awe-filled eyes, Li Junzong recalled his two Familiars and brought the corpse of the Brown-striped Earth Bear back.
“Who is that man?” someone asked. “I’ve never seen him in the government or the military.”
“Shh… the big boss is from the Southern Sky Group,” another person said. “I’ve seen him before, but he didn’t use his power then.”
“He looks so young,” another person said. ” I bet he’s only around 20 years old.”
“Southern Sky Group’s depth is terrifying,” someone said. “Anyone they send out can kill an Emperor Tier Monster in seconds.”
After Li Junzong left, the entire city wall was in an uproar.

A white skylark landed lightly on the edge of a dead volcano in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. Amidst the silent dead volcano, a Nine Secluded Peacock with a black body and crown of feathers on its head opened its crimson eyes.
“Has the mission failed?” Its voice was calm. It seemed like it had clearly expected this. “Well, did you find out the humans’ secret weapon?”
The skylark chattered on.
The Nethermost Peacock listened thoughtfully. A faint smile appeared on its face. “That explains it. The two King Tier Monster Trainers that had a tacit understanding seem to just be equal to an Emperor Tier at most, even with their secret weapon. In that case, I’ll fly there myself. What else can I do when these humans stretch their hands a little too far?”
