My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

The bubbles on the sea surface grew denser, and a booming sound gradually rose.

Just as Gao Tianxiong was beaming with pride and Sun Ze was on high alert.

"roar--!"

A dragon's roar ripped through the sky, making the eardrums of the soldiers present ring.

Unlike the oppressive aura of the ocean emanating from Tashuk, this aura was powerful and domineering, carrying the unique majesty of the dragon race, and instantly enveloped the entire coastline.

"Tashuk is impressive, even managing to get dragons... Wait, dragons!? Wasn't there a rumor that Lin Mo had 10 dragon guards!?"

Sun Ze's expression changed drastically.

Gao Tianxiong's smile froze instantly. He scratched his head, his face full of doubt: "That's impossible. Logically, it should be Lord Tashuk escorting Lin Mo up here. What is this dragon roar...?"

Before the words were even finished, the sea suddenly exploded.

A golden figure burst out of the water and took flight.

The enormous dragon's body blotted out the sky; it was none other than Ajin.

On the dragon's back, Lin Mo, dressed in a black robe, stood tall and straight, with a black sword hanging diagonally at his side.

He remained indifferent, his eyes like ice.

Yin Xue sat to the side, swinging his legs, looking at the crowd on the shore with a playful expression.

The siren's phantom soul stood silently, pale blue light flowing across the dragon's body.

Mianmian curled up at Lin Mo's feet, a small piece of meat still dangling from her mouth.

This scene caused an instant deathly silence in the entire venue. Everyone was stunned into silence, and the smugness and wariness on their faces were instantly replaced by extreme shock.

"Lin...Lin Mo?!"

Gao Tianxiong shuddered: "You...you're alright? Where's Tashuk? Wasn't he going to bring you here?"

Sun Ze's pupils shrank, and the resolute look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by disbelief.

He considered that Lin Mo might be being hunted down by Tashuk, and he also considered that these golden dragons might have been tamed by Tashuk.

They simply couldn't believe that Lin Mo was not only unharmed, but also appeared before them calmly, riding a golden dragon and exuding the aura of a powerful figure.

The soldiers of the Holy Kingdom present retreated in droves, their hands gripping their weapons trembling uncontrollably.

They originally thought Lin Mo was a sure thing, but now, Lin Mo's appearance clearly showed that he was a king who had victory in his grasp.

Yin Xue lay on the dragon's back, scoffing, his tone full of mockery.

"That piece of trash Tashuk doesn't even deserve to hold our Lin Mo hostage!"

Gao Tianxiong suddenly looked up, his brows furrowed, his face full of resentment and confusion, and roared at Lin Mo.

"Impossible! Tashuk is a demigod! How could a worthless nobody like you possibly defeat him?!"

Lin Mo glanced down at him, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Tashuk? You mean him?"

After saying that, Lin Mo casually raised his hand and waved it.

The black sword hummed and trembled, and a phantom golden soul was slowly summoned.

It was Tashuk!

At this moment, his soul was extremely weak, his body was covered with cracks, and his eyes were blank. He no longer had the arrogance and madness he had before.

Clearly, it was under Lin Mo's control, just like those souls.

Lin Mo's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable pressure that clearly resonated throughout the entire coastline.

The moment Tashuk's soul appeared, the entire arena erupted in uproar!

"That...that's the soul of the Mermaid King?!"

"Why is his soul so weak? Could it be... could it be that Lin Mo really killed Tashuk?"

"A demigod... a demigod was actually killed by Lin Mo?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be just a rumor?! Wasn't it said that the one who killed those three demigods in the arena was an ancient hero? Lin Mo doesn't have the strength to deal with demigods at all, but... but what's going on?!"

……

Sun Ze's face turned deathly pale instantly, his aura of a warrior vanished abruptly, and his hand gripping the brass knuckles trembled slightly.

The reason he came to besiege Lin Mo was simply because Gao Tianxiong guaranteed that Tashuk would take action.

With the help of Tarshuk's demigod power, he could earn some military merit.

Now that Tashuk is dead and even his soul is controlled by Lin Mo, he instantly realized that he was no match for Lin Mo at all, and that staying would only be a pointless death.

The thought of retreating instantly arose in his heart. Sun Ze took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him. Those soldiers had also retreated, and some were even trembling.

"Go! Capture Lin Mozhe and win the ten million bounty!"

He shouted, but no one moved.

Only one soldier mustered the courage to speak up: "And what about you, General?"

"Uh... well, I'll go check the back, please make way."

"Holy crap! The general's running away! Retreat!"

Without the slightest hesitation, they turned and ran towards the teleportation array.

As long as we live, we can always rebuild. If we can return alive and gather even stronger forces, we will always have a chance to take revenge.

The soldiers of the Holy Kingdom behind them dared not linger upon hearing these words.

They dropped their weapons and rushed towards the teleportation array like madmen, pushing and shoving, creating complete chaos.

"Run! The demigods have been killed; we're no match for them!"

"Don't block me! I'll kill you if you do!"

"I was introduced by a relative! Let me leave first!"

……

Gao Tianxiong was stunned for a moment, until he saw that Sun Ze, who should have been next to him, was almost at the teleportation array before he realized what was happening.

He was immediately terrified and scrambled to escape with the soldiers.

Lin Mo watched their fleeing figures and gently raised his hand.

The pitch-black killing field unfolded instantly, like a giant black net, instantly enveloping all the fleeing soldiers, Sun Ze, and Gao Tianxiong.

"Trying to run away?"

Lin Mo's voice was icy and chilling.

"Since you're here, don't leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo's mind stirred, and the Law of Hellfire instantly permeated the entire killing domain.

The originally dark area was instantly covered by raging flames, and the temperature soared, like a giant furnace, scorching everything within the area.

"ah!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out instantly, but it only lasted for a few seconds before completely dissipating.

Within the area, all the soldiers, including Sun Ze and Gao Tianxiong, were being scorched by the hellfire.

The body melts and carbonizes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, it turned into wisps of ashes and dissipated into the air, leaving not a trace.

The coastline fell silent once more, with only weapons strewn across the ground and a faint smell of burning, a stark contrast to the previous desolation.

Yin Xue curled his lip, his tone disdainful: "What a waste. He can't even run fast. He's simply overestimating himself."

Lin Mo then gestured for Ah Jin, whom he was riding, to land, and stopped in front of He Yuan.

Lin Mo lowered his head, his gaze falling on He Yuan, who was still standing calmly by the sea. His tone was flat and without any ripples.

What are you doing here?

He Yuan showed no panic or surprise whatsoever.

A faint smile remained on his face as he strode forward, presenting the envelope to Lin Mo with both hands, his tone respectful: "Your Majesty, I have come to deliver a letter to you."

Lin Mo reached out and took the envelope. He didn't open it immediately, but just glanced at him indifferently, signaling him to continue.

He Yuan bowed slightly and spoke slowly.

"This is a letter that the dwarves intercepted in the wasteland. The letter states that the Holy Tower Kingdom is about to hold a Sacred Judgment Conference, inviting several races from across the continent to participate. This is the highest-level conference on the continent, and the conference's content is..."

Before He Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Mo snorted coldly: "You're here to attack me, aren't you?"
