Chapter 586: Chapter 532: Guidance from the King of Mountains and Rivers

"You..."

Gu Jian’s eyes widened, and he glared angrily at Sunx Saint.

He had already lost face in front of everyone once. If he lost again, he was afraid his dao heart would shatter.

He looked at Sunx Saint, knowing the man’s lawless personality. ’He really might do something like this.’

At the same time, a surge of anger welled up within him.

’I lost to Lin Qi, but don’t tell me I can’t even beat Sunx Saint?’

And so, he got up, entered a Virtual Cabin, and logged into the Red Realm for a private duel with Sunx Saint. No one would know the result.

...

「Imperial Capital. Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo Headquarters. A spacious Martial Arts Room.」

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Li Tianxing, a young man with refined features, wore a white Martial Arts Uniform as he wielded his red Long Spear. Red Flame swirled around his body.

HUMMM!

"Master, a call from Sunx Saint!"

Li Tianxing lowered his spear, and the red patterns on his skin faded away.

The red metallic sphere spoke as it projected a large screen in front of him. Sunx Saint’s face instantly appeared on it.

Sunx Saint grinned smugly.

"Tianxing, I’ve got some great news!"

"I just beat Gu Jian!"

"Turns out Gu Jian isn’t so tough after all, huh?"

"It was way too easy..."

Li Tianxing immediately hung up, refusing to give Sunx Saint the chance to gloat.

Then, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Gu Jian.

Just as Gu Jian logged out of the Red Realm and stepped out of his Virtual Cabin, he received Li Tianxing’s message.

Li Tianxing: Log into the Red Realm. Let’s spar!

Gu Jian’s face darkened when he saw the message. ’Again?’

He had just lost to Sunx Saint. But as he replayed the battle in his mind, a new thought emerged.

’Against Li Tianxing, though... maybe I can win?’

With that thought, he turned around and stepped back into the Virtual Cabin.

...

「Half an hour later.」

In a wrecked arena in the Red Realm, the alloy floor was shattered and littered with scorched-black patches.

A scorching aura lingered in the air.

Gu Jian struggled to his feet. His Blue Battle Armor was riddled with spear marks, and his Heavy Sword lay on the ground nearby.

His expression was dejected, his face pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Opposite him, Li Tianxing stood in red battle armor, pointing his Big Gun at Gu Jian with one hand.

He asked slowly,

"How did Sunx Saint win?"

Gu Jian was silent for a moment before speaking with difficulty.

"He’s a little stronger than you. It was a grueling half-hour battle... a narrow victory for him."

Li Tianxing sighed.

"Only after fighting you do I understand just how powerful Lin Qi is."

"How on earth did he do it?"

Gu Jian fell silent, looking as if he had lost all will to live.

Being defeated in succession by three geniuses, all fighting above their realm, was too great a blow for him.

...

「North River Province. In the deep mountains behind Black Dragon Base.」

An underground base.

Inside an exceptionally spacious cave, one the size of a football field.

TAP! TAP!

A tall figure sat cross-legged on the ground. He was three meters tall, clad in human-style green battle armor.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the ground was littered with the bones of Calamity Beasts.

"Commander Kazi!"

A large screen materialized in front of the figure in Green Armor, projected from a silver bracelet on his wrist.

A man in a black mask appeared on the screen—it was none other than Commander Lin.

"What is it?"

Commander Kazi looked up, revealing a pair of green eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice a hoarse chittering, like an insect’s cry.

Commander Lin on the screen spoke slowly.

"According to our latest intel, Lin Qi successfully defeated the genius Gu Jian by Crossing a Realm."

"His potential exceeds our predictions. He must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, he’ll become another Top Level Ninth Realm Martial Artist in the future!"

"He’s most likely already at the Peak of the Seventh Realm. He’s growing too fast!"

"If this continues, he’ll break through to the Eighth Realm!"

"Once he reaches the Eighth Realm, killing him won’t be so easy!"

Commander Kazi replied slowly,

"The Empress has already informed us."

"In the next few days, a Super Large Disaster Beast Tide will break out at Black Dragon Base."

"A Tenth-Level Calamity Beast will appear then, which will also be our chance to strike."

"I will deploy our best Eighth-level Insect Race Warriors, and I will make a move myself."

Commander Lin’s expression on the screen brightened. ’This time, they’re finally making a move!’

After all, Commander Kazi was a Ninth-level Insect Race Warrior. Among the Insect Race, all Commanders had to be Level 9.

The Insect Race didn’t have many Commanders, so the loss of even one was a huge blow.

That’s why they rarely took action personally.

’It seems Lin Qi’s potential has the Insect Race spooked this time.’

Thinking from the perspective of his race, he knew that when faced with a genius like Lin Qi, killing him was the only option.

If they let him reach his full potential, he would become a nightmare for the Insect Race.

...

The video call ended.

Commander Kazi surveyed the scene before him.

In the vast space, a dozen or so figures were feasting ravenously on enormous Calamity Beast corpses.

In moments, the corpse of a Seventh-Level Calamity Beast, an Iron Armor Rhinoceros as large as a small hill, was picked clean, leaving only a skeleton behind.

Powerful auras erupted from each of the Insect Race Warriors.

Some had golden skin and were covered in a golden carapace, with knotted muscles and abnormally thick arms.

Others were pitch-black, their skin and carapaces as thick and broad as Battle Armor, gleaming with a metallic luster.

Every single one was more powerful than a Modified Martial Artist.

Commander Kazi nodded. These dozen or so Insect Race Warriors would play a huge role in the coming Super Large Disaster Beast Tide.

With that thought, he pressed the bracelet on his wrist, and his entire form instantly changed.

He took on the form of an Ordinary High Realm Martial Artist with rugged features, wearing green Battle Armor and holding a Battle Saber.
