With the Tyrant Dragon King's submission, the once surging beast tide seemed to lose its backbone. The remaining monsters, after a brief moment of confusion, scattered and fled, disappearing into the vast desert.
The members of the Flying Men Team and the Four Colors Team finally breathed a sigh of relief, their tensed nerves relaxing.
Night quietly descended, stars like diamonds embedded in the dark sky. In the wilderness, free from light pollution, the stars twinkled with soft and mysterious light.
The desert night, without the heat and hustle of the day, appeared exceptionally quiet and profound.
To sort out the current intelligence and discuss the next course of action, everyone gathered around a blazing bonfire. The firelight, in the vast land, shone as brightly as a star.
By the bonfire, Liu Yun sat in the center, his figure elongated by the firelight, appearing exceptionally tall.
The three Beast Kings—Tyrant Dragon King, Tiger King, and Wild Ape—knelt respectfully on either side of him. Their eyes no longer held their former arrogance and wildness; instead, they showed deep reverence and obedience to Liu Yun.
This scene shocked everyone present. They had never witnessed such a sight: a human expert capable of controlling such powerful Beast Kings. This was undoubtedly a symbol of strength and the unique power of a Psycher Master.
"Liu Yun, War God, what should we do next? I won't blame you for damaging my character anymore!" Wang Tianba broke the silence, his voice carrying a mix of anticipation and awe. His character had been lost for a long time.
Watching the flames dance, Liu Yun also found it a bit difficult. His first Mechanical Race Clone had lost all its energy and couldn't recover in a short time. This Tyrant Dragon King was truly hard to control.
"How would I know? You are from the Dojo of Limits, and we are the HR Alliance. We should be parting ways soon, each going our separate ways!"
Wang Tianba sighed at these words. Who knew Liu Yun would progress so quickly? He couldn't keep up at all, so he simply stopped thinking about it!
For now, there was still a good show to watch, so he might as well enjoy the bittersweet moment!
This good show was He Lan, who at this moment was like a lioness, staring intently at Ruby and the others sitting on Liu Yun's other side.
Her heart was filled with both pride and dependence on Liu Yun's strength, and jealousy and dissatisfaction towards other women approaching Liu Yun.
Ruby and the others naturally felt He Lan's gaze. They couldn't help but exchange smiles, a hint of playfulness and disdain flashing in their eyes.
In their opinion, He Lan's behavior was both childish and ridiculous. There was no ambiguity between them and Liu Yun; they were merely comrades in arms.
However, this attitude made them very uncomfortable. Why should Liu Yun belong to her? Didn't He Lan just know Liu Yun a few days earlier?
"Hmph, if we truly wanted him, Liu Yun certainly wouldn't let this woman benefit for free!"
Even the usually quiet Buleika said this by the bonfire, while Ruby smiled apologetically. She always felt that snatching a man was inherently unrelated to her, and after understanding everything, she even sympathized with Liu Yun and He Lan.
"...I used to hear people from CWVAA (Chinese Wives' Victims' Assistance Association) say that marrying a woman from China would bring a lifelong entanglement and curse. Now it seems to be true."
She said with a laugh to her sister, Yang Xiaolong, who also laughed, excluding He Lan.
"Alas, Chinese men truly live in Hell! From the Ireland Base to the Khitan Base, the bad reputation of these people is known to all!"
These words made several people laugh heartily, which surprised the Flying Men Team, who then expressed strong agreement. Some things had long since become public and transparent.
Huang Mei cried as he dug out You Suowei's shattered body from the beast-ravaged land. Everyone in the Flying Men Team, except He Lan, was deeply grieved.
"Let's burn Captain You! That way, we can take him back to Jiangnan Base later!"
Huang Mei's words carried an undisguised sorrow. He carefully held You Suowei's broken body, as if he were holding a priceless treasure.
Liu Yun also became very solemn, because he knew that You Suowei actually didn't want to harm him; sometimes, he just couldn't help himself.
"Alright, we will hold a simple cremation ceremony for Captain You, so his Soul can rest in peace, and he can return to his beloved Jiangnan Base in another way."
Liu Yun's voice was steady and strong. He stood up, walked to Huang Mei, and gently patted his shoulder, offering silent comfort.
Everyone began to busy themselves, collecting dry wood and building a simple pyre. By the bonfire, the previous laughter was replaced by a heavy atmosphere. Everyone mourned except He Lan. You Suowei's figure gradually blurred in the firelight, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke, drifting away with the wind.
"Human hearts are truly unpredictable. I wonder if anyone will mourn for me when I die!"
Liu Yun looked at the wisp of smoke, feeling a little depressed. He looked at Ruby, Buleika, and the others, thinking that a test was finally about to begin, and he would first let the Beast Kings go into hiding.
At this moment, Li Yao had already arrived on the Australia continent. He was piloting a fighter jet, bringing two planet stage experts—Yan Hai and a mysterious old man—determined to kill Liu Yun.
Inside a hidden base on the Australia continent, Li Yao stood before his private fighter jet, "Night Falcon." His goal for this trip was singular: to completely eliminate Liu Yun, the evil man who had killed his own son.
Li Yao's two planet stage deputies stood on either side of him. Their auras were cold and powerful, clearly indicating they were seasoned veterans.
Li Yao took out a high-tech watch from his pocket. This watch was meticulously prepared, with a built-in cutting-edge tracking System capable of precisely locating the signals from the identical watches worn by Buleika and the other Four Colors Team members.
While Liu Yun absolutely couldn't be located, the other members of the Four Colors Team might not be so lucky. He had already reached the target location and would first let a few War Gods help with some tasks!
"Are you ready?" Li Yao asked in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the flashing light on the watch screen, which was Liu Yun's location.
"Everything is ready, Sir," one of the deputies replied respectfully, while simultaneously checking the weapon Systems on the fighter jet, especially the newly installed mobile high-energy laser cannon.
The laser cannon was humanity's most powerful mechanical tool against Beast Kings; even planet stage experts couldn't ignore it. They were doing this to ensure nothing went wrong.
The lean old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"I want to interrogate Liu Yun, War God, for seven days to extract all the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions he possesses. If you don't agree, I'll withdraw now!"
He was raising his price on the battlefield. Li Yao heard this with a helpless expression but nodded in agreement.
"Alright, why not? I won't let Liu Yun die too easily."
This finally unified their opinions. After installing the high-energy laser cannon, Li Yao, Yan Hai, and the lean old man, like ghosts in the night, swiftly moved through the undulating desert terrain.
Their steps were light and agile, and they knew the area's topography like the back of their hands, clearly a result of meticulous planning and preparation.
As the distance shortened, their heartbeats gradually accelerated, but their faces remained stern and resolute. Li Yao, holding his battle saber, yearned to drink Liu Yun's blood with it.
"Now!" Li Yao murmured to himself. His battle saber suddenly swung out, cutting through the air, bringing a chilling glint directly towards Liu Yun.
However, at this critical moment, Liu Yun, still mourning You Suowei, seemed to sense the danger. He sharply turned his head, meeting Li Yao's hateful gaze head-on.
"Bang!" The two sabers clashed, erupting in a deafening sound. The airwaves scattered, making the bonfire sway precariously and sparks fly.
The battle instantly erupted. Firelight and shadows intertwined, tearing the once tranquil desert night into fragments. The duel between Liu Yun and Li Yao was like two meteorites colliding, releasing destructive power.
