Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Bai Qiong's voice was icy.

"Top-tier talent, capable of transforming into a 100-meter giant."

"My son unleashed his full power, reaching the fifth tier of combat strength, yet he was still... crushed to death with a single kick."

"If this child is not eliminated, he will surely become a major threat to our demon race in due time, and may even..."

"He could become the next 'Shen Yufei'."

Hearing "transform into a hundred-meter giant" and "crush the royal blood saint who touched the threshold of the fifth rank with one foot" made him feel as if he had been transformed into a hundred-meter giant.

Youhuang's pupils contracted violently once again!

She finally understood why Bai Qiong had lost his composure.

Why would they be willing to pay such a terrible price?

This is no longer a simple genius or threat; it is a force with disruptive power.

A monster with an insane growth rate!

He must be nipped in the bud before he truly matures!

Youhuang remained silent for a moment, and the ghostly flame at her fingertips silently went out.

She slowly rose, her alluring figure fully displayed beneath her black dress.

A flicker of decisiveness and greed flashed in his dark purple eyes.

"make a deal."

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice carried a hint of icy killing intent.

"I will spread the bounty notice throughout the entire underworld through my channels."

"Including those greedy traitors to humanity, infamous killer organizations, and other outlaws from the den of iniquity."

"They will swarm in like sharks that have smelled blood. Chen Xing... will never have a peaceful day."

Bai Qiong nodded, not surprised by the result.

Youhuang controls the largest area, including the 007 Demon Cave and the surrounding region.

The most secretive underground intelligence and bounty networks are most effective when published by her.

"However, Brother White Tiger,"

Youhuang added, a shrewd glint in her eyes.

"Behind Chen Xing stood Shen Yufei from Shenzhen Martial Arts University, as well as the strongest human warriors from the entire Southern War Zone."

"If they disregard the rules, the Eight Realms will personally intervene, or at least protect them closely..."

"They won't."

Bai Qiong interrupted her, his tone firm and carrying a chilling aura.

"Humans have their own rules, and we have our own tacit understandings."

"As long as it's not someone from the Eighth Realm personally who kills him, this bounty is valid."

"If they dare to break this tacitly accepted rule and bully the weak first..."

In his dark golden vertical pupils, a cold light gleamed like an ice blade:

"Then I wouldn't mind giving up the entire Southern Theater Command."

"Let them all taste what it's like to lose a child."

The gazes of the two eighth-tier demon lords clashed in the dimly lit hall.

A chilling killing intent and a silent agreement filled the air.

……

Almost at the same time, in the president's office at Wuhan University in Shenzhen.

Shen Yufei stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the vibrant campus outside.

He held a top-secret intelligence document that had just been transmitted via an encrypted channel.

The intelligence revealed that the White Tiger Demon Lord, Bai Qiong, had personally visited the 007 Demon Cave.

The details of the agreement reached with the Dark Phoenix Demon Lord Youhuang, and the thousandfold bounty placed on Chen Xing.

He frowned slightly, a cold, sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He was not surprised by the White Tiger Demon Lord's reaction.

The pain of losing a child, coupled with the terrifying potential and threat Chen Xing displayed, would be enough to drive any demon lord mad.

But the magnitude of this thousandfold reward is significant.

The fact that it involved the Dark Phoenix Demon Lord's extensive network throughout the underworld still put him under pressure.

He put down the intelligence report and walked to his desk.

He picked up the red, secure communicator that connected directly to the highest levels of the Southern Theater Command and dialed a number.

"I am Shen Yufei. Regarding Chen Xing, I need to meet with the Commander-in-Chief and the President of the Demon Hunting Association immediately."

"Highest-level meeting."

Half an hour later, at the Southern Theater Command headquarters, in a top-secret conference room 300 meters underground.

The meeting room was small and simply furnished.

However, the walls and ceiling are made of a special alloy that can isolate all energy and mental detection, achieving a security level of SS.

At one end of the long table sat two elderly men with profound and imposing presence, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

On the left is a man dressed in a crisp, dark blue general's uniform, with three gleaming stars on his epaulets.

His face was resolute, as if carved by a knife and axe, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, even when he was just sitting quietly.

It also exudes a powerful aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness and commanding thousands of troops.

It was none other than Long Zhenyue, the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Theater Command and the Ruler of the Eight Realms.

The person on the right is wearing a simple Zhongshan suit and has gray hair.

His face was thin and gaunt, bearing the marks of years of travel.

His eyes were deep and peaceful, as if they could see through people's hearts and contained wisdom that understood the ways of the world.

He is Zhuge Ming, the president of the Southern Demon Hunters Association.

Both are rulers of the Eight Realms, known for their wisdom and extensive network of connections.

Shen Yufei sat at the other end of the long table, with a summary of the top-secret intelligence projected in front of him.

That's the situation.

Shen Yufei's tone was solemn.

"Bai Qiong, the White Tiger Demon Lord of the 079 Demon Cave, has issued a bounty of a thousand times on Chen Xing due to the pain of losing his son."

"The bounty was posted through the Dark Phoenix Demon Lord's network in 007 Demon Cave, and it has probably spread throughout the global underworld by now."

"All forces that harbor malice towards humanity, or simply covet bounties—"

"Monsters, traitors, assassins, and even outlaws from other demonic lairs—"

"They all regard Chen Xing as a mobile gold mine and a stepping stone to fame and fortune."

Long Zhenyue frowned as he looked at the words "1,000x Bounty" on the projection.

The fingers tapped lightly on the table, producing a dull thud.

"Three drops of imperial blood essence, ten eighth-order demon cores, and a spirit stone mine."

"Plus, a favor from an eighth-tier demon lord..."

He spoke slowly, his voice like the clang of metal on metal, carrying a heavy pressure.

"White Tiger Demon Lord, this is a huge investment, and a complete break from all pretense."

"That kid Chen Xing... he really caused a huge commotion this time."

Zhuge Ming stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming:

"SS-level talent, mastering the essence of the staff at the fourth realm, transforming into a hundred-meter giant, slaying the Holy Son of the Imperial Blood..."

"Such a record, such potential, is enough to make the White Tiger Demon Lord go to such lengths, and it's also worth it for us..."

"To protect with all our might."

He looked at Shen Yufei and Long Zhenyue, his tone resolute:

"Chen Xing is one of the strongest martial arts prodigies to have appeared in the Dragon Kingdom in the last hundred years, or even several hundred years."

"His future is limitless; he may even reach that legendary realm."

"Such a gem must not be allowed to fall victim to the machinations of petty villains before he has fully matured."

"Otherwise, it will be an unbearable pain for our human race, and we will be sinners in the eyes of history!"

Long Zhenyue nodded emphatically and said in a deep voice:

"I agree with Chairman Zhuge's opinion. Chen Xing must be protected!"

"At all costs! I will immediately dispatch three seventh-realm Battle Venerables to the war zone."

"Under the guise of 'strengthening border patrols' and 'carrying out special reconnaissance missions,' Chen Xing may be carrying out missions in the future."

"Or they could secretly guard the area near the protected zone of Wuhan University in Shenzhen."

"Once a demon lord-level assassin, or a human assassin of the fifth realm or above, disregards the rules and makes a move."

"They can intercept us immediately and buy us time, allowing us to launch a swift counterattack and sever their outstretched claws!"

Zhuge Ming added:

"The Demon Hunter Association is spread throughout the southern provinces and has many informants."

"I will immediately issue the highest alert order from the headquarters to all branches and all registered demon hunters."

"Once anyone with a suspicious identity is discovered, or who attempts to inquire about or approach Chen Xing, please do so."

"Report this to headquarters immediately, and depending on the circumstances, secretly expel, monitor, or even... eliminate them."

"No threat shall be allowed to come within a kilometer of him."

A hint of relief and determination flashed in Shen Yufei's eyes as he spoke:

"Inside the Shenzhen Martial Arts University, I will personally use my Eighth Realm Divine Sense."

"A 24/7 surveillance system covering the Tinglan Garden villa area where Chen Xing resides, as well as his usual training grounds."

"Anyone with ill intentions will be immediately detected by me the moment they step inside."

"At the same time, the security level on campus has been raised to a wartime state, and all personnel entering and leaving the campus are subject to strict screening."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the two pillars of humanity.

The voice carried an undeniable power:

"Furthermore, we need to take this opportunity to send a clear signal to those demons and monsters lurking in the shadows—"

"The prodigy of the human race in the Dragon Kingdom is protected by the entire nation!"

"Anyone who dares to move must be prepared to face the thunderous wrath and annihilation of my human race!"

"We must never let the 'blood moon tragedy' of ten years ago repeat itself!"

"This time, we want to tell everyone that the Dragon Kingdom is united in protecting our pride!"
