Chapter 268 – Eagle King
Yang Tian was only a Commander-Tier Beast Master at that time, but he was already ranked 27th on the Celestial Empire’s Wanted List.
Eagle King was also a Commander-Tier at that time and had made Yang Tian his target. After reaching Commander-Tier, the Eagle King’s Mid-Grade Beast evolved to the Golden Blaze Eagle, ranked 493 on the Earth Beast Rankings, this was also the source of his arrogance.
The Eagle King thought that Yang Tian would be an easy target, but eventually paid the price for his arrogance. At that time, Yang Tian had an Epic Rank Bone Dragon under him.
A short while later, Yang Tian tossed the head of Eagle King from above C City. This was the spark that started the animosity between Yang Tian and Ji Tian Luo.
The Eagle King was currently Peak Rank 3, the same level as Yang Tian.
“Not me, he is the one.”
Ji Tian Luo pointed at Eagle King, the latter could fight better than Ji Tian Luo in air battles.
Eagle King came out with a dark face, he had seen how Yang Tian swept his gaze lustfully at Ji Tian Luo earlier and had developed the intent to kill at that moment. However, he controlled himself because of the large number of Dark Slimes surrounding them and now that an opportunity had presented itself, he would not waste it.
Ji Tian Luo whispered a few words to Eagle King before he stood before Yang Tian.
The hulky Eagle King was one head taller than Yang Tian, but the aura emitted by Yang Tian was as strong as the Eagle King. Yang Tian’s perfect face was filled with Yang Tian’s inherent resolute characteristics, coupled with the faint dominance from the Half-Dragon Eyes; this combination caused women to be attracted to Yang Tian.
Ji Tian Luo’s face blushed uncontrollably but quickly adjusted herself.
“Let’s go above.”
Yang Tian was in Flame Energy Body form and flew up into the sky first, Eagle King closely followed.
Yang Tian’s lips curled, from the moment the two parties came face to face, the bell of the fight has already rung. Therefore…
Mental Pierce
Violent Corpse Worm Queen shot Mental Pierce towards the unguarded Eagle King.
“Ahhhhh!”
Eagle King hugged his head due to the pain, his mind was also in a daze.
Cross Fire
Yang Tian shot the newly promoted Captain-Class Flame from his crossed fingers; as Yang Tian’s control over his flames has greatly increased, he adjusted the temperature to a level where Eagle King could handle.
Cross Fire struck Eagle King without any incidents.
Boom
The powerful blast told Ji Tian Luo below that the victory has been decided, they could only pray that the Eagle King did not meet with any mishaps.
The terrifying explosion was equivalent to the most powerful strike a Peak Rank 3 could release, and it was obvious that the Eagle King encountered a problem earlier, or he would not have hugged his head in pain.
After the smoke of the blast scattered, the charred body of Eagle King was revealed. Although Cross Fire was powerful, it was controlled by Yang Tian; thus, the Eagle King was only in a severely injured state.
The Eagle King was finding it hard to even sustain flight.
“You…”
Eagle King looked at Yang Tian resentfully, but the former knew that he has lost his ability to continue fighting as well.
“If I had not shown mercy, you would have been dead.”
Yang Tian approached Eagle King and send him towards Ji Tian Luo with a kick. The metahumans around Ji Tian Luo quickly went to support the injured Eagle King.
Yang Tian slowly approached and stood in front of Ji Tian Luo:
“I have already shown mercy, I hope your side will not go back on our agreement.”
“Okay.”
Their discussion before was to only provide seven Rank 3 blueprints and get Sky Halberd Domain to accept a city worth of ordinary people.
They have determined that the Eagle King’s level should be able to earn them a victory, Ji Tian Luo even asked Eagle King to show mercy. However, the outcome proved that the difference in strength between the two sides was wide.
Now that the issue has exceeded their expectations and went outside their control, they need to return and discuss what to do.
“Let them go.”
Yang Tian’s order made the Dark Slimes open up a path for them, allowing Ji Tian Luo’s group to leave.
After Ji Tian Luo and her group left, Wang Yu curiously asked:
“Domain Lord, can we trust them?”
“Rest assured.”
Eighty percent of the military force within C City should be engaged in resisting the invading creatures, the ordinary humans were not only unable to help with much, but they might also impede the city’s development and progress. Ji Tian Luo’s character has made it impossible for her to abandon these humans. At most, the compensation they offer in the end might slightly differ, but it will not differ by much, else Yang Tian would not accept the humans.
These ordinary humans might not be of much use to them, but this might not be the same for Yang Tian.
The huge floating rock underneath King Manor was not a common one. The huge rock has the passive ability to pull out the potential within humans, even if they were ordinary humans. There would be an eighty percent chance of the humans living around the vicinity of King Manor to awaken an ability after staying there for a while.
“We will need to construct a new city underneath the huge rock, you should start preparing.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Sky Halberd King Manor was on the floating rock, but the land underneath it was empty and vast, completely enough to construct a new city.
The labor force of Sky Halberd King Manor was the Rank 2 Dark Slimes, allowing the construction speed to be extremely fast. The materials for constructing a city were not hard to get as they were generally ordinary materials; plus Wang Yu and Xu Dafu had prior experience, allowing them to manage everything smoothly and well.
Yang Tian also replanted the Ghost Trees during this period, shifting them further away from the center.
The basic form of a city took a total of ten days, it was also at that time that Ji Tian Luo came to Sky Halberd King Manor again.
“Here is ten Rank 3 Blueprints as agreed.”
Ji Tian Luo gave the ten Blueprints made of special material, they contained the information of the core magic formations and details of the supporting magic formations.
Yang Tian had expected them to lower the price, he did not expect that they would agree to his price without a fuss.
“It’s all genuine.”
Yang Tian kept the Blueprints after checking them.
“Bring them here after five days. The city we constructed can house all the humans in C City.”
“Okay.”
Ji Tian Luo did not say much and left after getting the confirmation.
Before she left, Ji Tian Luo also passed Yang Tian his military rank. The ranking system in the Post-Apocalyptic Era was different from the Civilized Age, Yang Tian was also curious about this.
He opened the box holding the rank and read the certificate inside.
“Rank 4? Interesting.”
The Military Ranks of the Post-Apocalyptic Era has also followed the Ranking system of Metahumans now, Yang Tian’s organization was given a Rank 4 evaluation by them, it was not considered high, but also not low. Yang Tian does not give any importance to this thing, he was more interested in the conferment letter instead.
On the conferment letter, all of Yang Tian’s experiences, including the things he had done before the Apocalypse was all stated clearly on it.
