City No. 003, central district.
Outside the abandoned Lejiafu Hypermarket.
On the rooftop of a tall building, two figures stood side by side, watching the hypermarket from afar.
One was thin, carrying a battle knife.
The other stood a towering two and a half meters tall, holding a massive mace like a steel pillar.
They were War God–level powerhouses—Wang Tong and Li Kan.
Wang Tong, a high-level God of War, possessed body and blade skills at the artistic conception level.
His title: Shadow Knife.
Li Kan, although technically an intermediate God of War, had strength equal to a high-level God of War. Combined with his enormous physique—
He was known as the Violent Bear.
"That beast should've laid its eggs within the last two days," Wang Tong said, cigarette dangling from his lips. "Once it lays, it enters a period of weakness. When that happens, we'll strike. We'll have at least a sixty-percent chance."
"This ironclad dragon is a high-level lord monster," Li Kan said with a grin. "If not for its post-birth weakness, the two of us wouldn't dare touch it."
"Exactly. But who told it to go into labor?" Wang Tong chuckled.
Monster physical fitness far surpassed that of human warriors. A monster of the same rank was usually an entire level stronger.
A high-level Ironclad Dragon was equal to a human invincible God of War—perhaps even touching planetary level.
Only its weakened state made this hunt possible.
"Buzz—"
Wang Tong's communication watch vibrated.
"Oh? A call from that vulture Li Yao. Why's he contacting me now?"
"Connect."
The moment the call opened, Li Yao's urgent voice blasted out:
"Wang Tong! No time to explain—my son is training in City 003, and his life is in danger! I've sent you the coordinates. You and Li Kan are the closest. Please—save him! I'll repay you!"
Wang Tong's expression hardened instantly.
"No need for thanks. Li Kan and I will go immediately."
The two often hunted together with Li Yao—they knew exactly how much Li Wei meant to him.
"Coordinates?" Li Kan checked the watch. "Vanke Dream City. Barely ten kilometers."
The two God of War experts turned into blurs and rushed toward Li Wei's location.
Vanke Dream City
With the cover of the surrounding buildings, Jiang Yan, Janet, Liu Xi, and Caron were already deep in battle, clashing with wave after wave of Griffin Mastiffs.
Li Wei had long fled to safety—if he entered battle, he'd only drag them down.
"We can't fight in one place!" Jiang Yan barked.
"There are too many of them. We must split the herd!"
He issued orders rapidly:
"Janet—lure a group of intermediate beast generals to the left!"
"Liu Xi—draw some away to the right!"
"Caron—you hold the second high-level leader! Don't fight it head-on—just contain it! If things go bad, run!"
After the commands left his mouth, Jiang Yan charged straight toward one of the high-level beast general leaders.
Both leaders were high-level beast generals—extremely strong. Even with his current strength, Jiang Yan couldn't finish one off instantly.
One-on-two, given time, he could eventually kill both.
But not now—not with thousands of subordinates swarming around them.
More than two hundred intermediate beast general–level Griffin Mastiffs, countless junior-level ones…
Their fearlessness was the real threat.
Janet, Liu Xi, and Caron did not hesitate.
The huge herd was instantly split into four pursuing packs.
"Die!"
With the pressure reduced, Jiang Yan's spear exploded forward—body technique, power technique, and marksmanship all layered. His force reached intermediate God of War level.
"ROAR!"
The leader reacted like a giant feline, its massive body astonishingly agile. It leapt aside, the spear strike tearing open an intermediate beast general behind it instead—
BOOM!
The creature's head exploded.
"Damn, this high-level leader is at least ten times stronger than that iron-haired boar leader!"
Dodging with perfect body technique, Jiang Yan swept another strike—but rushed.
This time his spear carried only the force of a high-level general.
The hit knocked the leader rolling, but left no real damage.
Its physique… was monstrous.
Without hitting a vital point, his attacks barely scratched it.
Worse, every time it staggered, its subordinates surged in fearlessly.
Jiang Yan killed one with every strike—but there were too many.
He had to fight while retreating, avoiding the leader's sudden assaults.
But at the same time—
[Marksmanship Progress +1]
[Body Technique Progress +1]
[Third Thunder Gun Progress +1]
Prompts kept flashing before his eyes.
"My marksmanship is about to reach perfection…"
Jiang Yan took a deep breath.
He had been dragged into danger because of Caron's disastrous intel—but the gains were massive.
Life-and-death combat was truly the best way to grow.
"Hurry up and finish this beast so I can help Janet!"
He swept away another cluster of Griffin Mastiffs, slipped through the gaps with perfect body technique, and charged the leader again.
"DIE!"
He feinted toward the leader's head, but his real target was—
its hind legs.
Once crippled, the beast would be helpless.
"ROAR!!!"
The leader shrieked. The bait worked.
Jiang Yan's spear, infused with God of War–level power, tore straight through its right hind hamstring—
and smashed one of its magic pills.
The massive creature collapsed, screaming.
Hearing their leader's agony, countless Griffin Mastiffs swarmed protectively around it.
"Oh? Looks like hitting the magic pill first is the way to go."
If the pill shattered, the pain would force openings everywhere.
"Die!"
Jiang Yan didn't waste a breath.
He activated killing mode.
The leader's magic pill was destroyed, its hind leg crippled—
It was a lamb waiting for slaughter.
The remaining intermediate beast generals were no threat.
Just a few breaths later, Jiang Yan's spear pierced its skull.
The leader fell.
At that moment, the remaining Griffin Mastiffs broke in fear and scattered.
"Go help Janet first!"
Jiang Yan rushed off immediately.
Compared to Janet, Liu Xi's and Caron's lives weren't even worth half a fingernail of his wife.
Suddenly, three golden prompts exploded before his eyes—
[You practiced Third Thunder Gun in killing, triggered critical hit rule — you gain TEN THOUSAND TIMES the harvest!]
[You practiced body technique in killing, triggered critical hit rule — you gain TEN THOUSAND TIMES the harvest!]
[You practiced marksmanship in killing, triggered critical hit rule — you gain TEN THOUSAND TIMES the harvest!]
Jiang Yan froze for half a heartbeat.
Ten. Thousand. Times.
This battle…
was about to pay off beyond imagination.
