"Ov... Overlord Level!?"

Even Xu Tiannuo, a powerhouse of this level, couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

"Cao Xiong couldn't last a single move against him, it must be even higher..." Xu Zisheng added weakly.

Instantly, Xu Tiannuo took a cold breath, his eyes flickering as he nervously and quickly asked, "Is there any chance for reconciliation between you two?"

Clearly, he too didn't want to face a prodigy of such terrifying caliber unless it could be avoided, no matter how much it would cost.

Xu Zisheng briefly explained the whole situation.

No matter how he tried to disassociate Yang Bo's side, today's act of sending a bunch of transcendents from the Xinhao Club was enough to render any excuse he made utterly feeble.

Moreover.

Among transcendent individuals, evidence isn't always necessary—sometimes, all it takes is a single source of displeasure for a grudge to be irrevocable.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Various thoughts surged through Xu Tiannuo's mind, a ruthless glint flashing deep within his eyes as he coldly said, "This boy must not live past tonight!"

"He must be eliminated before he reveals his potential!"

Once Pei Jing and others become aware of Su Qi's terrifying talent, it would spell grave danger for the Xu Family!

Within a few breaths, Xu Tiannuo made a decision, immediately convening all the power he could muster, with no hesitation, taking Xu Zisheng, and rushing towards the Old City District in a large group.

On the way.

He cautiously sent messages to Zisheng's parents and the current Xu Family head, Brother Xu, among others.

More than thirty Overlord Level transcendents, like meteors shattering the night sky, carried Xu Zisheng with them, making him shiver with excitement, a huge weight finally lifted from his heart.

Now then...

How could Su Qi possibly survive!?

Old City District.

Two Security Bureau officers received a report and were patrolling this area.

"Ha, someone actually reported an outbreak of a fight involving over a hundred Overlord Level transcendents here. Look how calm it is tonight, making one sleepy, it's really laughable."

The slightly younger Security Bureau officer had some complaints about the higher-ups' orders.

The other officer, with a bushy beard, also shook his head, "Yeah, a large-scale brawl among Overlord Level transcendents hasn't happened since the city's early days when Pei Jing simplified the top-tier Breathing Technique and made it public."

"It attracted major conglomerates to establish branches here. Back then, there was a small fight daily and a big fight every three days. For the sake of profit, they resorted to all means."

"Lord Pei Jing really, even though he's already guarding the Ninth District, why share the cake?" muttered the young Security Bureau officer.

Immediately, he was smacked on the head by the bushy-bearded officer, "You dare question Lord Pei Jing's intentions!"

"I just wanted to..."

"No 'want' allowed!"

"Back then, when the Ninth District was in ruins, without those large conglomerates moving in, achieving the scale we have today would've been nearly impossible."

"Alright, but some families indeed aren't too compliant. Look at the Xu Family, recently they've been encroaching on the Fierce Beast market, possibly trying to monopolize the entire Ninth District's Fierce Beast meat transportation and sales."

The bushy-bearded officer glared at him, "That's not our concern, as long as Lord Pei Jing is around, they won't cause any big waves."

While discussing the situation, numerous rapid swooshing sounds echoed through the night sky.

"This is..." They exchanged a glance, each seeing the fear in the other's eyes, and quickly hid themselves.

Heavens.

Only Overlord Level transcendents could glide through the sky.

Doesn't that mean that the throng just now was all Overlord Level transcendents?

Could... could the report have been true!?

Chills ran down their spines, with so many Overlord Level transcendents moving, obviously something big was about to happen. Such an event could only be handled by Security Bureau captains or above, and with sufficient numbers to control the scene.

Hence, they hastily pulled out their communicators to report upwards.

Soon after.

Near the area, Wu Feng, serving as a Security Bureau squad leader, was the first to receive a support order.

"All teammates, head to the Old City District immediately!" Wu Feng shouted angrily, leaping up and leading the charge toward the Old City District.

He could not allow his anger to flare up.

As the Ninth District's infrastructures became more complete, the major conglomerates in the city tacitly retracted their claws; even if there were conflicts, they were small-scale scuffles.

If the support order were true, once a fight among a hundred Overlord Level transcendents broke out,

it would undoubtedly pose a huge hidden threat to the Ninth District's future stability.

For this reason alone, he couldn't wait for the other squad leaders to gather, hastening to the Old City District ahead of anyone else.

Wu Feng's eyes burned with fury as he sped up to the maximum, even stepping on the edges of buildings to accelerate with the help of reverse force.

He absolutely couldn't let the fuse that would disrupt Ninth District's stability ignite in front of him!

At this moment.

In an open area of the Old City District.

Su Qi stepped on Yan Song's chest, coldly questioning, "You're saying that everything was orchestrated by you in the shadows, unrelated to Xu Zisheng?"

Indeed.

Having come to his senses, Yan Song knew Su Qi wouldn't easily spare him, so he took the blame, attempting to shield Xu Zisheng.

Now, only the Xu Family could save him. If he implicated Xu Zisheng at this point, it would truly be a dead end.

But Su Qi, aware of his shrewd plans, spoke disdainfully, "At this moment, you still expect the Xu Family to save you."

"Quit being foolish. That answer isn't important to me, it's vital to you."

"Su Qi, don't kill me. We've been classmates for three years. I know I was wrong." Feeling Su Qi's killing intent, Yan Song's scalp nearly exploded.

"You're already this strong; someone like me poses no threat to you whatsoever."

"I can leave, I can stay far away from the Ninth District..."

"I swear I'll never appear before you again in this lifetime."

Yan Song spoke rapidly, breathlessly.

Suddenly, he glimpsed the dense figures whooshing down from the sky, unable to contain the joy welling from his skull.

They're here, they're here!

The Xu Family's people have finally arrived!

I...

The next second, the smile that Yan Song could hardly suppress abruptly stopped.

A powerful force erupted from his chest, extinguishing all his vitality.

"You're... so ruthless..."

Yan Song stared at Su Qi in disbelief, at this former classmate who had always ignored his provocations.

Blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes gradually dimmed.

He perished.

"Obstinately clinging to his own course," Su Qi said indifferently, then turned his gaze to the descending transcendents.

No surprise.

He did indeed see Xu Zisheng.

And as Xu Zisheng saw Yan Song dead at Su Qi's feet, he knew Su Qi had left him no room for defense.

Everything.

He'd have to bear it all.

"Su Qi, we didn't have to come to this point, actually."

"You have the talent; I have the resources. If we can join forces, the Hidden Dragon List, even the future of the Ninth District will be ours to control!"

Su Qi's cold gaze swept over the Xu Family transcendents before him, speaking each word with precision.

"I dare say forgive past grievances, but do you all dare to trust?"

"And what makes you think everyone needs those resources from the Xu Family!"

As he finished.

The Heaven Cross, like a war banner, speared into the ground.

An indescribable ripple spread across the field, the Heaven and Earth Power instantly surging.

Countless radiances burst from within him, casting him as a god of war!
