”A single Tier Four gives me a little over five thousand. It looks like killing mutated beasts is more cost-effective.”

In the villa’s living room, Chen Yu sat on the sofa, looking at the interface.

Taking out three Tier Four Martial Artists had netted him just over fifteen thousand, a far cry from what he got for killing the matriarchal squid.

’Too bad the last one committed suicide by poison,’ Chen Yu lamented inwardly.

Four Tier Four Martial Artists would have been over twenty thousand Source of Life. It was a shame the last one killed himself.

’If I kill two more Tier Four Martial Artists, I can evolve again. I wonder if I’ll get another Golden Legendary Level Skill...’

Staring at the interface, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

As things stood, it seemed possible. But with Skills being granted randomly, Chen Yu couldn’t be certain he would receive another Golden Legendary Level one.

After all, the word ”random” was decidedly vague.

It was like those gacha games from his past life with a supposed ninety-nine percent chance of winning the grand prize. Even with a ninety-nine percent chance of winning, that remaining one percent could hold a one-hundred percent chance of getting junk.

”Are you worried about the Divine Authority Council?” Instructor Wang’s voice sounded by his ear. Chen Yu looked up at him as he sat down beside him.

Looking at Chen Yu, Instructor Wang smiled and patted his shoulder. ”Don’t worry so much. The Divine Authority Council is formidable, but they’re not invincible. I’ve already made arrangements; we’ll be moving out soon.”

”We’re leaving right now?” Chen Yu looked at him.

Instructor Wang shook his head. ”Not immediately. We’ll set off at dawn. But we can’t stay here any longer. First, we’ll move to a safe place in the city center. The route has been replanned. This time, we’ll detour through Lvzhou. I’ve arranged for a military helicopter there. Once we reach Lvzhou, we’ll take it to Jingzhou.”

”Alright.”

Chen Yu nodded.

He had no objections to the route arrangements.

Detouring through Lvzhou wasn’t an issue. They’d get there sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

”Relax. Those men were all vicious criminals. Don’t let it weigh on your conscience,” Instructor Wang said reassuringly, patting his shoulder again.

Chen Yu nodded lightly.

A guilty conscience...

He didn’t feel burdened at all.

Even though it was his first time killing people, he didn’t feel any particular reaction.

Such were the rules of this world.

Killing and arson weren’t always bad things.

Which powerful Martial Artist or Awakened hadn’t stained their hands with blood?

In his eyes, enemies were no different from mutated beasts.

The heretics of a Heterodox Sect were enemies of humanity by definition.

...

After disposing of the bodies, Chen Yu and the others quickly left the villa by car.

About half an hour later, they arrived outside another villa complex.

This villa was located in the city center.

The car stopped at the villa’s entrance. As they got out, a middle-aged man in a suit approached them.

”Mayor Xu, thank you for your trouble.”

Instructor Wang shook hands with the well-dressed, middle-aged man before him.

’The mayor?!’

Chen Yu was startled as he looked at the slightly balding middle-aged man.

The mayor of a safe zone was not only a high-ranking official but also a powerful expert, at least a Tier Five Martial Artist to start.

To be greeted personally in the middle of the night... this level of treatment was quite surprising.

The treatment for an Awakened was simply too good.

Of course, this was conditional on being an S-rank Awakened. Anyone below S-rank probably wouldn’t receive such a reception.

Mayor Xu smiled at Instructor Wang. ”Not at all, not at all. It’s my duty.”

After speaking, Mayor Xu’s gaze shifted to Chen Yu and the others, finally landing on Chen Yu with a hint of apology. ”You must be young Comrade Chen Yu, correct? My apologies, you’ve had a frightening experience. You can rest assured here. I guarantee what happened before won’t happen again.”

Chen Yu quickly composed himself and replied, neither servile nor overbearing, ”You’re too kind, Mayor Xu. It was just a small incident, nothing to worry about.”

Although he was an ”S-rank” Awakened, Chen Yu didn’t get arrogant. Setting aside the mayor’s status, his sheer power was enough to crush him.

Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Mayor Xu also smiled. Without saying more, he gestured for them to enter, and the group followed him into the villa.

Rooms had already been prepared. Chen Yu went to his and lay down, but after the Divine Authority Council’s sneak attack, he couldn’t fall asleep.

Telling Sophie to remain on alert, Chen Yu began to cultivate.

...

The night passed peacefully. Early the next morning, after breakfast at the villa, Mayor Xu personally escorted them out of the Lin City safe zone. At the same time, Instructor Wang had bolstered their security, adding six Bounty Hunters to the escort, one of whom was a Tier Five Bounty Hunter.

What a powerful lineup!

Across the wilderness, three black Hummers sped along.

Around four in the afternoon, Chen Yu’s group arrived at the Lvzhou safe zone.

Without stopping, they entered Lvzhou and headed straight for Lvzhou City’s military airfield.

When they arrived at the military airfield, a black military helicopter was already waiting, ready for takeoff.

The accompanying escorts did not board the helicopter; only Chen Yu and Instructor Wang got on.

The rotor blades began to spin, and the helicopter quickly took off, heading toward Jingzhou Base City.

...

On the aircraft, Chen Yu looked down at the wilderness from high above.

The overlapping mountain ranges stretched endlessly, creating a unique vista.

”SCREEE—!”

Just as they were flying, a piercing cry rang out. From within the clouds, a black shadow shot toward them like an arrow.

It tore through the clouds, leaving a long wake of turbulent air.

The shrill cry instantly drew everyone’s attention. Through the window, Chen Yu immediately spotted the monster that had appeared in the sky.

”An Iron-Winged Bird!”

Chen Yu recognized the monster flying toward them from the sky in a single glance.

It was a relatively common type of flying mutated beast, the Iron-Winged Bird.

Its wingspan was immense, making it look like a fighter jet hurtling toward them at high speed.

’At least a Tier Three.’

Chen Yu noted silently as he watched the Iron-Winged Bird’s enormous body.

”WHOOSH!!”

Just as the Iron-Winged Bird charged the helicopter, the fuselage shuddered and a massive missile launched directly from it.

The missile shot out, leaving a long vapor trail as it streaked away at supersonic speed.

”BOOM—!”

A thousand meters away, a massive explosion rocked the void. A mushroom cloud rose, engulfing the Iron-Winged Bird’s figure.

A visible shockwave swept out in all directions like a tsunami.

”BZZZT—!”

The instant the shockwave hit, a visible defensive shield materialized around the helicopter.

”THUD!!!”

The defensive shield blocked the blast from the shockwave, but sitting inside the helicopter, Chen Yu still felt the fuselage tremble violently.

Fortunately, the military helicopter was specially built, and it returned to stability after a momentary shudder.

In the sky, the mushroom cloud dissipated, and wisps of blood spread through the air.

The missile was a direct hit, obliterating the Tier Three Iron-Winged Bird so completely that not even a scrap was left.

’I wonder if I could withstand a direct hit from that missile. Probably not.’

Chen Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, looking at where the Iron-Winged Bird had been blasted to smithereens.

The power of such military-grade munitions was immense, far more potent than conventional artillery.

Chen Yu estimated that even if he could block it, he’d be half-dead if not outright killed.

The defense of his Biological Force Field was limited. Trying to block that with his current skill level would be a huge stretch.

”SCREE!”

”SCREE!”

”SCREE!”

...

Just as they dealt with the first Iron-Winged Bird, a series of piercing cries suddenly erupted from the depths of the void.

Deep within the sky, a massive flock of black shadows appeared!
