CHAPTER 151 - “EVIL GOD’S” ATTACK

Upon their encounter with Han Wen, the Tigerman General, fiercely loyal to its king, immediately issued a stern warning. “That evil god excels at corrupting your thoughts! You must not listen to a single word he utters, no matter what!”

The simple-minded Tigerman soldiers, treating its words like sacred decrees, attacked Han Wen, paying no mind to his attempts at communication.

After being attacked without any apparent reason or provocation, Han Wen, whose body was now inhabited by Han Wu, decided it was time to fight back. He decided to summon the Chaos Saint instead of fighting them himself, as the Tigermen were too weak.

Without warning, the enormous Chaos Saint appeared before the Tigerman soldiers. Its shimmering form instilled such fear that not a single soldier dared to budge. Desperate, the Tigerman General had to resort to threatening them with execution if they deserted, compelling them into combat.

With a contemptuous glance at the insignificant Tigermen below, the Chaos Saint unleashed its Rank 5 skill, Tornado. A monstrous funnel cloud formed, drawing in thousands of soldiers, sending them soaring thousands of meters high. When the tornado finally dissipated, they plummeted, meeting their end upon impact.

The Tigerman General reeled in shock, instinctively recognizing that the Chaos Saint possessed strength comparable to that of the Tigerman King himself. Despite this overwhelming realization, retreat was not an option; the king’s orders were absolute. The Tigerman General was compelled to lead its dwindling forces to their very last man, regardless of the dire circumstances, solely to afford the king even a minute chance of victory. Threatened once more, the Tigerman soldiers were compelled to attack the Chaos Saint.

Showing no mercy for the feeble Tigermen, the Chaos Saint stomped forcefully on the ground. The very earth itself convulsed and fractured, and jagged fissures ripped across the battlefield. Countless Tigermen tumbled inadvertently into these gaping chasms. Those few who clung precariously to the cliff edges attempted to scramble upwards, but another devastating stomp from the Chaos Saint sealed the fissures, trapping them within.

The fissures claimed every Tigerman unfortunate enough to fall in. The Tigerman General recognized the overwhelming might of the Chaos Saint and understood that victory was impossible. However, before it could even issue any further commands, the Chaos Saint attacked, sending out a torrent of blazing scarlet fireballs to strike the remaining Tigerman soldiers. They were instantly engulfed in flames and burned alive as the Chaos Saint relentlessly continued its onslaught, annihilating 70% of the army in just three attacks.

Despite the immense casualties, not a single Tigerman managed to lay a hand on the Chaos Saint. The Tigerman General seethed with fury, yet found itself utterly helpless. It commanded its dwindling forces to encircle the Chaos Saint for one last, suicidal attack. They charged, fighting to stall for precious time, until the Chaos Saint’s summoned duration finally expired, and it vanished automatically.

The surviving Tigermen erupted in cheers, celebrating their narrow escape, but their jubilation was abruptly cut short as Han Wu materialized yet another Chaos Saint directly before them.

Han Wu then projected his voice, booming across the vicinity to every single Tigerman. “I can summon as many of these as I desire. I seriously doubt you possess the capability to eliminate every single one of them.”

The Tigerman General found itself utterly bewildered. With the vast majority of its army decimated, further resistance was pointless. Consequently, it made the difficult choice to betray its king and yielded.

Han Wu let out a quiet chuckle, realizing he’d stumbled upon the ideal strategy to subjugate all Tigermen within the divine realm. He had been deliberating on a foolproof approach, and ironically, the Tigerman King had just inadvertently handed him the solution: eliminate the king, and every Tigerman would fall into line!

Leading the now-surrendered army, he slowly began to advance towards the Tigerman kingdom. The Tigerman King, upon hearing of its general’s crushing defeat, erupted in a furious rage. It detested any circumstance beyond its complete control. The mere existence of the original Hu Hai had already been a significant threat, as it also harbored ambitions of becoming a god. To safeguard its legacy and lineage, the Tigerman King made a decision: it would slay a god!

To recruit allies for its god-slaying quest, the Tigerman King distributed flyers. In response, numerous formidable experts heeded its summons and pledged their allegiance. By simply leveraging its reputation, the Tigerman King had effortlessly assembled a small but elite team of powerful Tigerman experts. Even the least powerful among them was a Heroic life form, while the strongest possessed power nearly on par with the Tigerman King itself.

Despite assembling such a formidable lineup, the Tigerman King remained plagued by a sense of insecurity. In an attempt to bolster its forces, it sent out a message to the forbidden zone, publicly offering generous rewards to any who would assist in the slaying of the “evil god.” However, the experts residing within the forbidden zone were, without exception, Hu Hai’s most devoted and powerful subjects, particularly the three elders who served as Hu Hai’s Saints. Their faith in Hu Hai was absolute, and consequently, not a single one of them accepted the king’s desperate demand.

The Tigerman King, though clearly irritated, realized its hands were tied for now. Although undeniably powerful, it questioned whether it could truly emerge victorious in a direct confrontation with all three elders at the same time.

Three full realm days elapsed before Han Wu finally reached his destination, the city. Trailing behind him was an immense host of several hundred thousand Tigermen, their expressions betraying a mix of reverence and fear towards him.

“Drag that damned Tigerman King that is stealing my Faith Points out right now!” Han Wu bellowed, spurring the captured Tigermen behind him into action, who immediately began their march forward. The Tigerman King, having anticipated this confrontation, swiftly unleashed the powerful experts it had painstakingly assembled to confront the advancing Tigermen.

A brutal clash erupted between the two sides, but while both sides fought fiercely, Han Wu’s side found itself gradually being pushed back. Seeing this, Han Wu summoned the immense Chaos Saint for a second time, which then began to unleash its array of powerful skills, relentlessly cutting down the opposing Tigermen.

Sensing the Chaos Saint’s overwhelming power, the Tigerman King quickly realized that he was the only one present who could possibly stand against it. He channeled his energy, and the formidable aura of a King life form surged outward from him as he deliberately stepped down from his throne.

The weaker Tigermen immediately buckled, forced to their knees by the sheer oppressive presence. The Chaos Saint, upon witnessing the Tigerman King’s display of power, scoffed with disdain, opting to respond in kind. It then unleashed its own formidable pressure which manifested as a surge of the four elements, its immense aura effortlessly eclipsing the Tigerman King’s.

The Tigerman King, feeling insulted in the presence of its subjects, vowed to decapitate the clone—which it mistakenly believed to be Hu Hai—as an act of retribution. With a furious roar, it tried to bypass the Chaos Saint and launch a direct attack on the so-called Hu Hai. In response, Han Wu simply smiled and struck the Tigerman King’s paw, simultaneously activating his Martial God Flash Skill.

The two combatants collided with immense force, and the Tigerman King was sent hurtling backward, slamming into the city wall with such impact that it became deeply lodged within the stone, rendered immobile. The sight sent shockwaves through the surviving Tigermen, who watched in horror as their mighty monarch succumbed to just one strike from the evil god. It was clear to them that the evil god was overwhelmingly powerful!
