The entire conference room was so quiet that the only sound was the low-frequency hum of the machines running.

Old Qian slammed his hand on the alloy tabletop, making the teacup lid bounce: "This is outrageous! Do these beasts really think our Dragon Country is made of clay? That they can just manipulate it however they want?"

Mr. Qian's face turned ashen, and his furious voice boomed in the conference room.

Old Wu sat in the corner, looking down at the data panel in his hand, without even raising his head.

"The three lines of defense in City D have been completely torn apart. The destructive power of the lord-level monsters has exceeded our expectations."

Old Qian glared at Old Wu, pointing his finger at his nose: "Then what do you suggest we do? Just stand by and watch D City get overrun? Are we just going to sit here and wait to be slaughtered while they march straight in?"

Old Wei picked up the thermos in front of him, gently blew on the floating goji berries, and suddenly interjected.

"Old Qian, why are you in such a hurry? This is just the beginning. As long as people are alive, it's not over yet."

Old Man An sighed and placed his hands on the table, crossed over each other.

If we can hold the city, who wouldn't want to? But if D city falls, the morale of the people will definitely plummet.

However, the monsters descended from the sky and entered the city directly, with D City, located beneath the rift, bearing the brunt of the attack.

Moreover, the number is too large, making it impossible to defend against.

"Alright, Lao Qian, sit down first." Old An's voice wasn't loud, but it silenced all the arguments.

"These newly emerged lord-level monsters are clearly much more cunning than the previous ones, and as Old Wei said, this is only the beginning. After all, none of the true king-level monsters have shown up yet."

Chi Zhengyang, who had been staring at the screen without saying a word, finally straightened up.

He turned his head, his gaze fixed on the latest anomaly on the big screen.

Those deep red high-energy reaction points, representing lord-level monsters, did not continue to expand their gains after completely destroying the outer perimeter of D City. Instead, they suddenly changed direction and moved at high speed in a straight line towards the direction of A City!

Chi Zhengyang's lips curled into a cold smile, and he instantly understood the monsters' actions.

Are they coming for me?

Fine, I'm too lazy to go find them one by one anyway.

......

Several terrifying, oppressive forces swept across the devastated ruins like a whirlwind.

The speed was so fast that the garrison troops along the way didn't even have a chance to raise their guns. They only felt a bloody wind sweep by before everything around them was completely overturned.

The butterfly princess's colorful wings trembled slightly as she hovered in mid-air.

Her long, slender tongue suddenly lashed out at a human hiding behind cover, casually chewing up the other's skull.

Fresh blood dripped down her chin.

"The brains of these natives still taste so bland and uninteresting." She licked her lips, her face full of disgust.

Below, a desolate neighborhood stretched out before a towering Union Tower stood in the very center.

The black-robed monster stopped beside Butterfly Princess, its eyes coldly fixed on the building.

"Is this the place?"

Butterfly Princess closed her eyes, sensing the lingering pheromones in the air, and nodded firmly.

"No mistake, the deepest imprints in the subconscious of those ants are in this building."

"Let me drag him out directly." The heavily armored monster grinned maliciously.

No nonsense.

The heavily armored monster's massive body suddenly lurched forward, instantly blasting a deep crater into the ground beneath its feet.

He shot straight toward the building like a heavy missile launched from its barrel.

On his right fist, a scarlet high-energy light was violently compressed, and the surrounding space was visibly distorted under this violent energy.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

In the center of the massive building, a hole more than ten meters in diameter was blasted through it by this domineering and unparalleled force!

This sturdy building, which had withstood countless attacks from ordinary monsters, collapsed under the single blow of a lord-level monster.

The ear-piercing sound of metal breaking, accompanied by the shattering of the glass curtain wall, sent chills down one's spine.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring the sun.

The heavily armored monster crushed the wreckage on the ground and shook the dust off its arms.

If they can't even dodge this level of power, then these indigenous chieftains are utterly ridiculous.

He stared intently at the center of the smoke and dust ahead.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Amidst the devastation, a tall and upright figure slowly emerged.

Chi Zhengyang casually put his hands in his pockets, with a long sword gleaming with a faint blue light under his feet.

The longsword hovered in mid-air, carrying him leisurely as he glided out from the swirling haze.

His clothes were spotless, without a speck of dust on them, and a nonchalant smile played on his lips.

His gaze swept over the three oddly-looking men in front of him.

"They've all come to me on their own, which is good. It saves me the trouble of searching everywhere."

Opposite them, a group of lord-level monsters looked at the unharmed Chi Zhengyang without showing any surprise.

If the indigenous chieftain gets crushed to death by the building, then today's trip will have been incredibly boring.

However, when they focused their senses on Chi Zhengyang, they all revealed undisguised contempt.

There were no terrifying energy fluctuations.

Any random leader could easily snap his neck.

"You're Chi Zhengyang?"

The heavily armored monster took a step forward, its massive foot cracking the ground once more, the sound like two pieces of iron rubbing against each other, exuding extreme arrogance.

Butterfly Princess covered her mouth and giggled, causing the flowers to tremble.

"Hehehe... That's way too weak."

Chi Zhengyang simply smiled and opened his arms wide: "Welcome to the Dragon Kingdom."

"???"

"Scared out of their wits?" the monster wondered.

But the next second, something unexpected happened!

"Boom—!"

Beneath the once peaceful ruins, a muffled roar erupted, ten times more violent than the collapse of the building itself!

The ground behind Chi Zhengyang was instantly torn apart by a terrifying force.

Hundreds of thick, dark blue vines, as thick as the load-bearing pillars of a bridge, surged wildly from the ground with a sharp, piercing sound!

The surface of these vines is covered with hard barbs, each barb gleaming with a chilling, highly poisonous sheen.

There was absolutely no preparation whatsoever.

These mutated plants didn't waste any words; like a group of ancient pythons that had been starved for a hundred years, they opened a deathly meat grinder directly at a group of monsters!

The heavily armored monster's expression changed drastically, and its massive body unleashed its maximum speed as it tried to dodge backward.

"Isn't it a bit too late to think about escaping now?"

Chi Zhengyang stood on the flying sword, looking down at their comical actions.

The heavily armored monster had just flashed into the open space a few dozen meters away.

"Sizzle—!"

The perfectly intact pavement beneath his feet instantly exploded.

More than a dozen thick vines broke through the soil and wrapped tightly around his ankles like iron clamps.

The immense pulling force nearly flipped him over.

"Get out of here!"

The heavily armored monster, filled with shock and rage, roared and swung its massive fist, wreathed in crimson energy, at the vines.

However, when the heavy punch struck the surface of the vines, it produced a loud metallic clang.

Although it was broken, more vines coiled up his arm like venomous snakes, constricting his joints and causing the heavy armor to creak and groan.
