Zhu Tiangang, a powerful member of the Split-Mane Black Pig Clan, pursued a human who had infiltrated monster territory. The human, Xu Zimei, had already killed many monsters trying to stop him. Meanwhile, Xu Zimei approached the heavily guarded Flame Mountain, the entrance to Phoenix Imprisoning Phoenix, unaware of the pursuit.

Moreover, the golden armor allows him to traverse the land freely.

This is the advantage of the Gold Pangolin clan.

At this moment, Elder Jin frowned slightly.

In such a turbulent situation, anyone doing anything can capture their attention.

They cannot afford any carelessness.

Elder Jin instructed the Gold Pangolin beside him, "Go report the situation here to the Monster Queen, I will meet the human."

...…

Xu Zimei arrived at the front of Flame Mountain.

Before he could take another step forward, a whirlpool emerged from the land before him.

And within the whirlpool, an elder with golden light slowly emerged, his sharp mouth and eyes narrowed to a line.

Upon his appearance, he first bowed to Xu Zimei.

He asked, "May I know what brings you to this place?"

"I've come to search for someone," Xu Zimei replied.

Elder Jin realized that anyone who dared to come here alone was certainly not ordinary.

He frowned slightly.

It was apparent that Xu Zimei bore no goodwill nor malice.

As if everything was indifferent, ruled only by his mood.

Elder Jin pondered quietly for a moment.

He asked, "May I know whom you are seeking?"

"Tianqi, do you know him?" Xu Zimei inquired.

Elder Jin pondered for a while, eventually shaking his head slightly.

The era of Great Emperor Tianqi was long past, such that Elder Jin hadn't even heard of it.

And Xu Zimei did not bother with him.

He said directly, "The Monster Fire Phoenix, once among the sixteen Monster Race clans, should have records of these things within, right?"

"I'll go search myself."

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, Elder Jin became anxious and hurriedly said, "Friend, this place is not open to outsiders."

"Nowadays, Phoenix Imprisoning Phoenix is closed due to wartime concerns, I hope you understand."

"You plan to stop me?" Xu Zimei said calmly.

At that moment, Elder Jin felt a suffocating force emanating from Xu Zimei.

His whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Subconsciously wanting to burrow underground, he found himself entirely immobile.

Fortunately, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps not far away.

Only to hear the sonic booms echoing in the void.

A colossal entity approached from afar.

The colossal entity seemed to have noticed Xu Zimei too, flying swiftly towards him.

...…

"Human, this time you won't escape." Zhu Tiangang's demonic qi was majestic.

At this moment, it was in full-power mode, all forces operational, finally catching up to Xu Zimei.

Upon seeing Xu Zimei, Zhu Tiangang's face lit up with joy.

This time, Xu Zimei was no small achievement.

Since Ba Tian became the boss here, the position of second-in-command had been vacant.

This time with Xu Zimei's appearance, having killed many members of the Monster Race, if Zhu Tiangang could capture him, he might gain credit and secure the second-in-command position.

Given his strength and reputation, becoming second-in-command wasn't impossible.

Now it only lacked a catalyst.

At this moment, seeing the pig demon approaching on cloud and mist, Xu Zimei did not recognize him.

But the threatening approach clearly showed it was targeting him.

And beside him, Elder Jin's face changed dramatically.

"It's Zhu Tiangang, clan leader of the Split-Mane Black Pig clan.

Second only to Ba Tian among the Monster Race."

Elder Jin glanced at Xu Zimei.

Initially, he thought Xu Zimei and Zhu Tiangang were allied.

But feeling Zhu Tiangang's aura, seemingly seeking revenge specifically against Xu Zimei, he reconsidered.

"Beware, old man cannot save you."

Elder Jin said.

Gold light flashed around him, instantly transforming into a beam diving into the ground, fleeing towards the gateway to Flame Mountain.

Zhu Tiangang came, and no matter what, the entire Flame Mountain must be on high alert, leaving no gaps or relaxation.

As for Xu Zimei, Elder Jin could no longer concern himself with him.

Seeing Elder Jin leave, Zhu Tiangang did not stop him.

Although he wanted to kill Elder Jin too, the opponent's burrowing talent left him helpless.

Moreover, now alone, he couldn't possibly storm Flame Mountain.

He focused his gaze on Xu Zimei.

First, he let out a cold laugh.

He said, "Boy, keep running then, why don't you run?"

"When did I ever run?" Xu Zimei said calmly.

"And who might you be?"

"Who I am is unimportant, what matters is you killed my Monster Race members, blood must be repaid with blood," Zhu Tiangang said.

He lunged from the void, the Wolf Fang Club in his hand roaring fiercely.

He swung, aiming directly at Xu Zimei.

The surrounding void shattered, the winds roaring like a storm.

Sufficiently evident was the immense power of that strike.

And Xu Zimei remained calm as he watched.

Until the Wolf Fang Club was about to land on him, he gently extended his left hand.

The forefinger of his left hand pinched lightly, instantly catching the Wolf Fang Club.

Under Xu Zimei's mighty force, the Wolf Fang Club was gradually crushed and then snapped.

Zhu Tiangang's expression changed.

He could sense this overwhelming power, utterly destructive, leaving no chance to resist.

And Xu Zimei seemed very composed, as if he hadn't used much strength.

As if like a storm beneath the calm.

"Impressive skills, no wonder you dare be rampant in my Monster Race."

Zhu Tiangang growled coldly.

He directly abandoned the Wolf Fang Club, opening his maw wide, attempting to bite Xu Zimei.

This is a monster.

A blood drinker, extremely fierce in combat.

Especially since Zhu Tiangang had followed Ba Tian for quite some time, acquiring some of his brutish demeanor.

But Xu Zimei remained calm.

Pressing his right hand on the opponent's head, he exerted strength downward.

"Crack—"

The sound of a skull shattering seemed to echo.

Zhu Tiangang's head sank directly into the ground.

...…

"What a ferocious human," said a Gold Pangolin from within Flame Mountain's gateway, witnessing this scene.

And Elder Jin frowned slightly.

He said, "Zhu Tiangang is not that simple, let's see how the human responds next."

"If we could recruit this human, our strength might increase," remarked a Gold Pangolin.

But Elder Jin snorted coldly.

Ba Tian and Zhu Tiangang among the Monster Race dislike humans, but actually, the Monster Fire Phoenix also doesn't favor humans.

After all, the Monster Fire Phoenix lost its position as ruler of the sixteen Monster Race clans due to humans.

So rather than hating humans, their animosity runs deeper.

Naturally, recruiting a human is unlikely.

"The hope is that they will suffer mutual injury, allowing us to benefit from their struggle," Elder Jin said.

This would be the best outcome.

And not far away, seemingly at a disadvantage in Xu Zimei's hands.

Infuriating Zhu Tiangang immensely.
