Chapter 482 The War Between Living Beings and Monsters (4K)

The earth was mottled, crisscrossed by countless fissures.

Distant mountains and giant trees, many of them had been sliced through, the cuts clean and smooth, their appearance terrifying.

This was the catastrophic landscape left by the Hunting Duke·Pupil Blade.

Where the gaze of the Hunting Duke fell, all things, all living beings would be severed, even those of the Legendary Earth Realm could perish under his gaze without understanding why.

However, was such a terrifying and infamous figure, who had left behind numerous disastrous incidents, fleeing?

Did he flee without any hesitation?

Because of General Duo Lai of Tianyuan City?

Impossible!

Although General Duo Lai was certainly not weak, the Hunting Duke was even more of a top fighter, there was no reason for him to fear a Legendary Earth Realm.

Lord Rain Dust felt it couldn't be this reason, perhaps it was some kind of tactical maneuver.

But it wasn't.

The Hunting Duke·Pupil Blade wasn't making any tactical positional shift; he was truly fleeing, running with all his might.

Prior to fleeing, the Hunting Duke had conspicuously, unmistakably, gazed at General Duo Lai for quite some time.

The more Lord Rain Dust analyzed it rationally, the more she realized that perhaps, possibly, probably... the Hunting Duke's strategic retreat was indeed related to General Duo Lai.

The Hunting Duke was intimidated!

But...

What exactly had Tianyuan City's General Duo Lai, the Lord of Tianyuan City, done to intimidate such a terrifying Hunting Duke so much that he didn't even dare to fight, and fled upon a mere glance?

Lord Rain Dust looked towards the adorable, harmless Tian Yuan Duo Lai with no conceivable idea, no matter how much she let her imagination run wild.

At that moment, Duo Lai was stunned.

Its Space-Tearing Seal had just branded heaven and earth, and it was still tens of kilometers away from this powerful being from Dragon Sleep Valley.

It was just about to take action when the enemy fled.

Does that make any sense?

The thing was, the Hunting Duke had fled too quickly; had he hesitated even two seconds longer, Duo Lai's space-tearing power would have reached him, making escape impossible.

Now, well...

Duo Lai was a bit embarrassed.

Its Space-tearing Seal had hit nothing but air.

It watched the swiftly retreating enemy, now just a tiny golden dot, and immediately wanted to call for Jun to carry it, using the Soaring Nine Heavens ability to pursue quickly.

But just as it was about to shout, it caught a glimpse of Jun already looking like a miserable bird, its magnificent pair of wings slashed with several gashes, countless hard feathers shattered, and its originally verdant and noble body stained with bright red blood, looking particularly tragic.

But tragic wouldn't be the right term.

Jun still held his proud head high, and the splashes of crimson seemed more like badges of honor hanging on his wings, dazzling and shining bright.

However striking, it surely had very little combat power left at this moment.

"I will chase after this enemy, you go back first!"

Duo Lai said to Jun and Lord Rain Dust, then rode the Green Wind, spreading its wings to transform into a green streak of light and vanished from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

It gave chase.

Like a hunter pursuing its prey, only this time, such a formidable figure as the Hunting Duke·Pupil Blade had become the quarry.

In front of Tian Yuan Duo Lai.

Indeed, the Hunting Duke feared nothing else but Tian Yuan Duo Lai.

Lord Rain Dust no longer dwelled on it, swiftly arranged for her subordinates to rescue the severely injured Zhou Ran, and tended to the various wounds of the Wings of the Wind King.

She then ordered her people to collect the few scout team members who had just scattered and fled—otherwise, in such harsh conditions, lacking legendary leadership and concealment tactics, a Fourth-Order Leader might not be able to escape all the way back to the Battle Zone.

"We set off immediately, otherwise other powerful beings from Dragon Sleep Valley might appear."

Lord Rain Dust said.

Her squad was well-equipped.

Her team had all the members Zhou Ran's team had, and even those Zhou Ran's team didn't have.

After all, her team consisted entirely of legend-class individuals, and those in the Legendary Realm studied and learned much faster than those in the Leading Realm. There were precisely three powerful individuals in her team with concealment capabilities who could act as covers.

They quickly set up their concealment, spread out their scouting powers, and cautiously made their way back.

Because the team had many injured members, Lord Rain Dust chose not to engage even when she spotted one or two isolated Crimson Dragons.

She chose to bypass them and continue forward.

One detour.

Two detours.

Three detours.

Hours later, her expression grew more and more troubled.

"We are encountering legendary-class enemies with increasing frequency."

"No, the enemy is preparing for a total assault!"

...

"The enemy is amassing forces outside the battle zone, ready to launch a total assault."

Inside the command center, many people's expressions grew serious.

Mu Yuan switched to Sophia's Black Crow vision for clearer view of the gathering monster tide, with mighty Crimson Dragons suspended in the sky and huge war machines slowly advancing.

Hundred-meter-tall blood giants, their numbers incalculable, appeared like a vast army marching forward, the very earth trembling and humming beneath them.

Huge blood-colored pupils hung within the fog, moving slowly forward. The diameter of the pupils reached dozens of meters, immense and fearsome, with the ominous light flickering within.

This scale was far stronger than the tides formed by the Fang of the Jackal Wolf and the Blood Snake Encase.

They weren't even on the same level!

However, Mu Yuan now had many reliable allies, and the overall combat power of his Tianyuan City had increased beyond comparison with the past.

He stepped forward and spoke.

"This was within our expectations, wasn't it."

"Sooner or later, we would have to face Dragon Sleep Valley directly in battle. Only by doing so, can our Battle Zone truly stand firm in this island territory."
