Chapter 19
Tier-Seven Is Just Like That?
In a certain place in M Country.
A tall and sturdy bald man dressed in a dark blue suit sat in the speaker’s chair, looking extremely oppressive.
“Interesting. I really didn’t expect the Nine Region Empire to stabilize the situation so quickly.”
“They call him Boss Gu? It seems like he’s the strongest Divine Runemaster in the Nine Region Empire. The divine runes on his body are quite domineering, but who knows if his person is weak?”
At this moment, Zhao Yuting’s live stream was broadcasted on the screen in the room.
In M Country, many people had tattoos. Naturally, after the Cataclysm, many people possessed divine runes. For this reason, in less than ten days after the Cataclysm, the country managed to clean up all the mutant beasts in the cities where the nuclear fusion nets were located before activating them.
Their losses in this disaster were also very small. The troops guarding the large granaries became Divine Runemasters overnight, killing mutant beasts easily as though they were chopping melons and vegetables.
The person sitting on the speaker’s chair was James Kohler. He was originally a general but seized the chance and rose to power during the Cataclysm. He managed to survive death and awakened four divine runes. For comparison, Lin Chen’s Emperor divine rune was only 50% of his strength. There was no doubt that he was one of the strongest people in the world.
The people of M Country were living rather comfortably now. After all, only less than 30% of the people did not have divine runes.
There was also E Country. Many people there had tattoos before the Cataclysm. As a result, their losses were also very small, and they managed to deal with the mutant beasts and stabilized the situation rather quickly.
At this moment, James Kohler’s assistant said with a sneer, “President, why don’t we do a nationwide live broadcast? Let our people see how this Boss Gu of the Nine Region Empire is tortured and killed by the tier-seven demi dragon?”
Many of them believed that there was no human that could contend with a tier-seven mutant beast at this stage. They thought that Gu Changqing’s action was akin to committing suicide.
“Very well. It’s a good idea to let our people see the Nine Region Empire making a fool of itself,” James Kohler said and lit a cigar for himself. He was now only at the late stage of the fourth rank. As such, he did not think there was any human now who could deal with a tier-seven mutant beast.
M Country had never been on good terms with the Nine Empire Region.
“Alright.”
The assistant quickly left.
…
Not long after, a notification for the live broadcast with the title ‘The Monkey from the Nine Region Empire Is Making a Fool of Himself Trying to Slay a Tier-Seven Demi Dragon!’ appeared on everyone’s phone in M Country.
Unsurprisingly, everyone clicked on it curiously.
…
In the Western Sea of the Nine Region Empire.
The waves raged violently around the densely packed mutant sea beasts.
The tier-seven demi dragon looked terrifying. Its body was close to 700 meters long, and it stirred up waves as it moved, leading tens of thousands of tier-three and tier-four sea beasts. Finally, it stopped a few miles away from Gu Changqing and the others. Its eyes, which were bigger than lanterns, stared at Gu Changqing as it roared deafeningly. A hint of contempt could be heard in its roar. It really did not expect that a mere human would dare to provoke it. It dominated the Western Sea and could even withstand a nuclear weapon. It did not understand why this human dared to come.
At this moment, the two black dragons behind Gu Changqing roared as well, as though they did not want to be outdone. They were eager to devour the demi dragon in front of them. They looked extremely majestic and tyrannical.
…
Most of the people In the live broadcast room were Gu Changqing’s diehard fans. All of them felt that he was invincible. Those who doubted Gu Changqing were instantly scolded by the others.
[F*ck, the demi dragon looks ferocious! Can Boss Gu defeat it?]
[Don’t doubt Boss Gu’s strength! Since he dares to confront the demi dragon, it means that he’s definitely stronger than this demi dragon! Let’s just wait and see!]
[That’s right! How dare you doubt Boss Gu’s strength? What kind of storm can such a small snake cause in front of Boss Gu?]
[Administrator, please ban this person for doubting Boss Gu!]
[I agree!]
…
Long Zhanguo, who was about to start the press conference, looked at Zhao Yuting’s live broadcast with an unsightly expression on his face.
“Is Gu Changqing trying to steal our thunder?”
Long Zhanguo felt that Gu Changqing was deliberately opposing them.
Xuanyuan Wang Rui said, “Regardless if he’s doing this deliberately or not, we’ll have to delay the press conference. Perhaps, it’s just a coincidence…”
“The threat of the sea is too great. In just a month, there’s already a tier-seven mutant beast. Should we use nuclear bombs to slow them down?” Huang Mengguo asked.
“This isn’t a bad idea. We can’t let them evolve freely…”
Long Zhanguo and Xuanyuan Wang Rui nodded in agreement.
Then, the trio quietly watched the live broadcast. They wanted to see how strong Gu Changqing had become after one month.
…
In the Western Sea.
“Boss, are you confident?” Zhang Hu asked in a low voice.
“Confident? Let alone a tier-seven mutant beast, even a tier-eight mutant beast won’t be able to escape from me today,” Gu Changqing said domineeringly. After saying that, he stepped forward in the air and charged toward the black demi dragon with his blood spear in hand.
Swoosh!
Buzz!
When Gu Changqing was less than 100 meters away from the black demi dragon, a translucent gray barrier from the King of Hell divine rune appeared, creating a domain of its own. In the next moment, all the sea beasts in the domain fell by a tier.
The demi dragon roared as its body immediately shrank to about 400 to 500 meters.
The smaller mutant sea beasts the demi dragon brought also roared uneasily.
Boom!
Gu Changqing did not give the black demi dragon any time to react. He brandished his blood spear that flashed like lightning as the two dragons behind him roared. He moved at the speed of sound, and the satellite only managed to capture his afterimages.
However, the black demi dragon seemed capable of catching Gu Changqing’s movements. It quickly opened its mouth and spat out a huge energy beam.
Gu Changqing did not avoid the energy beam.
A moment later, the energy beam dissipated and the waves calmed down slightly, revealing the completely unharmed Gu Changqing. The demi dragon could not even break his defenses.
Gu Changqing scoffed. “Is that all there is to a tier-six mutant beast?”
Gu Changqing deactivated the King of Hell’s Domain, intending to test his own strength.
Boom!
With that, the black demi dragon immediately recovered the seventh tier. Its eyes shone viciously as its thick tail shot toward Gu Changqing at lightning speed.
Bang!
Gu Changqing looked at the tail expressionlessly and raised his left hand to block it directly. The demi dragon’s violent attack could not even make Gu Changqing, who was standing in the air, move half a step. He was steady as a mountain as he blocked the tail.
“Tier-seven is just like that?” Gu Changqing said, disappointed.
As soon as Gu Changqing’s voice fell, the two dragons behind him roared thunderously before they flew out and bit the demi dragon’s tail. They crushed the demi dragon’s scales and pierced its body, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
