I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

People from overseas organizations such as the Holy Covenant Church, the Spirit Realm Society, and the Church of All Things showed their delight. These people disregarded their dignity and status and rushed into Jiangnan City one after another.

On the city wall, the superhumans from Jiangnan City watched these people with indifference, without making any attempt to stop them.

Zhao Lie, standing to the side, looked somewhat uneasy.

Aside from him and the fat man, Zhou Yao actually took it upon herself to let people in of Jiangnan City.

Zhao Lie didn't refuse at all, which even he found a little strange.

Zhao Lie didn't want Li An to leave.

Although there are low-level alien beasts outside, Li An is not here. If high-level alien beasts attack, they will not be able to defend themselves at all.

Li An's departure was tantamount to gambling with the lives of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Jiangnan City, a gamble that was nothing short of a high-stakes bet.

But now that the die is cast, all he can do is pray that Li An will return soon.

Zhou Yao noticed the change in Zhao Lie's expression and said softly, "They were able to come here at the behest of the Alliance's higher-ups."

After saying that, she ignored Zhao Lie's reaction and turned to leave with her wives.

Beside him, Liu Zhiqiang asked in a low voice, "Should we call Fatty over?"

Zhao Lie shook his head: "No need, he's in big trouble himself."

Liu Zhiqiang was taken aback.

Zhao Lie said bitterly, "He's forcibly controlling that Purple Heaven God."

Liu Zhiqiang's pupils suddenly contracted. How could he have forgotten about this!

The "Purple God" is still in Fatty's hands, and Fatty is "cultivating" every day.

If we let our guard down, Zi Bai will realize what's happening, and the entire Jiangnan City will suffer.

"Fatty..." Liu Zhiqiang said with some worry, "Can you control yourself?"

Zhao Lie took a deep breath and uttered two words: "Hard control."

Liu Zhiqiang was stunned, muttering to himself, "Fatty, please don't go soft..."

"Don't worry," Zhao Lie said, his voice complex as he gazed at the beast tide outside the city. "He won't let us down in this regard."

Liu Zhiqiang nodded, then looked at the group of low-level alien beasts still blindly charging outside the city: "Fight our way out?"

"No need," Zhao Lie said in a deep voice. "Let's just stay in this stalemate and wait for Li An to return!"

"Okay." Liu Zhiqiang agreed, and then soared into the air.

He flew above the beast horde, pressed down with one hand, and released his gravity-based power—

"boom!"

An invisible pressure forced a large number of low-level beasts into the ground, the sound of bones cracking echoing through the air, and black blood seeping from the soil.

The superhumans on the city wall attacked in unison, not to kill the enemy, but only to slow down the advance of the beast tide.

What they need to do is maintain the status quo and wait for Li An to return.

Meanwhile, Lian and the others from the alliance were flying towards the Kashgar Mountains.

At the forefront, dozens of men in black held sealing runes and hovered in mid-air. The dark golden light emitted by the runes formed an invisible barrier around them.

The attacks from the strange beasts along the way, whether lightning, wind blades, or frost, dissipated the moment they touched the barrier.

The group moved as if they were in an empty field, rapidly approaching the Kashgar Mountains.

However, the closer they got to the Kashgar Mountains, the larger the beast tide became, and the pressure on the men in black who were clearing the way ahead began to rise.

The sealing domain of the sealing runes flickered uncertainly under the waves of impact.

Dewey glanced at Lian instinctively.

Li An didn't speak, but her body suddenly accelerated.

She stretched out one hand, and the sky was filled with ice crystals again!

Countless white ice crystals erupted from her palm, swirling and flying forward like a reversed blizzard.

Wherever the ice crystals passed, the beast's body instantly stiffened, and it fell straight down from the sky, crashing onto the black, scorched earth, splattering a cloud of blood and mud.

A death trap was forcibly opened.

With Li An's help, the group traveled without hindrance and soon arrived at the outer edge of the Kashgar Mountains.

"We're here!" Dewey suddenly exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, everyone paused in unison.

A group of men in black appeared directly ahead.

They formed a circle, with sealing runes floating around them, creating a mobile fortress.

Low-level beasts cannot even get half a step closer.

And the person leading the group was none other than Old Liu.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on Li An.

Li An's gray eyes also looked at Old Liu.

Eyes facing each other.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became heavy, and even the roars of the strange beasts seemed to fall silent.

Suddenly, Old Liu's eyes lit up with a hint of doting affection, and he said softly, "Little one, would you like to join the alliance?"

"Not interested." Li An replied coldly, the three words as crisp as ice cracking.

The group of men in black around them gave them scrutinizing looks.

Dewey hadn't expected Li An to reject Old Liu so directly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Old Liu seemed to have expected this, and still said kindly, "I'm entrusting the task of slaying the Beast King to you this time."

"Stop nagging." Li An's tone remained cold. "I need to get back early."

"Then let's go straight in," Old Liu said softly.

Without any tactical plan, he actually wanted to charge straight in.

Li An remained silent and flew straight into the depths of the mountains. Old Liu and the others followed closely behind.

As soon as the group stepped into the heart of the Kashgar Mountains—

"roar--"

A roar resounded through the sky, shaking the mountains.

The entire Kashgar mountain range erupted in chaos!

The lightning bolts from the thunderous beast horde tore the sky to shreds, and crimson mist spewed out from the cracks.

Countless high-level SSS-class beasts emerged from the crack, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

Their scarlet pupils flickered in the crimson mist, like a burning sea of ​​stars, staring intently at Li An and the others.

They seemed to have anticipated this moment and were waiting for the arrival of the Alliance members.

"Kill!" Old Liu shouted.

Both sides moved almost simultaneously.

"Whoosh!" Nearly a thousand men in black simultaneously drew long, gleaming swords from their waists.

Clearly, the alliance came prepared.

These are among the Alliance's trump cards. The longswords are melee weapons infused with crystal fragments, and each one can easily slice through the scales of an SSS-level alien beast.

Instead of charging, the men in black stood in a neat row, raising their knives to meet the first wave of thunder beasts.

A flash of light, and black blood gushed out like a fountain. The beast's head and body separated, and it fell from the sky.

Li An moved, still waving his hand.

The air in front of her seemed to freeze.

The high-level beasts that charged in froze instantly upon entering the area, their massive bodies hovering motionless in mid-air, maintaining their ferocious postures.

Immediately afterwards, ice crystals appeared in front of Li An.

Countless tiny ice crystals condensed from the void, spreading forward along the frozen air like a white river, sweeping into the depths of the beast tide.

at the same time,

From behind, the attack of the beast horde also landed.

Thunder, wind blades, ice spikes, crimson mist... countless attacks rained down from behind the beast horde, like the Dead Sea being overturned.

"Sea it off!" Old Liu said in a deep voice.

Countless sealed metal pieces flew out from the man in black, forming a huge array of dark gold runes in the air.

The overwhelming attack of the beast horde vanished instantly, but the array of runes also began to tremble violently.

The icy rivers of Li'an extend thousands of meters into the beast tide.

The beasts were frozen like ice, then shattered and vanished.

Old Liu stood within the protective circle of the men in black, without making a move, but his gaze remained fixed on Li An.

In the heart of the Kashgar Mountains, the golden-eyed beast suddenly stood up.

The black cracks in the mountain continued to widen, revealing the enormous body of another golden-eyed beast.

Then,

It's the second head, the third head, the fourth head...
