He could only roar with resentment, issuing piercing insults at Xiao Ye.
This did not alleviate Hao Duoyu's injuries.
He began to wail. Seeing Xiao Ye's brutal display, Zuo Wang couldn't help but shiver.
If he hadn't surrendered to Xiao Ye earlier, he would probably have been beaten until his skin was torn and his flesh exposed.
Seeing the situation between the two, Zuo Wang felt immensely fortunate that he had made the right choice.
"Xiao Ye, I will kill you, kill you—"
Hao Duoyu's eyeballs were about to burst from the blows. His scales were shattered, revealing his tender skin.
Every strike Xiao Ye landed on Hao Duoyu was a pain that tore at his heart.
Xiao Ye, holding his black sword, remained silent and swung again.
Hao Duoyu's entire tail fell off.
He trembled in fear. Xiao Ye chopping off his tail was as ruthless as how he had previously attacked his vital parts.
However, Hao Duoyu finally found the seawater and plunged into the depths with a splash.
Seeing Hao Duoyu flee into the water, Xiao Ye stirred the water with his sword a few times but could not find any sign of him.
Hao Duoyu could breathe underwater, something Xiao Ye, a human, could not do.
"He's really become quite durable now..."
Xiao Ye gazed at the seabed, his body floating in the air.
He was certain of one thing.
Hao Duoyu should be killable now.
He wondered if this Blue Star had been messed up by Xiao Ye.
Even after Xiao Ye had beaten Hao Duoyu so severely, the system had not intervened.
Was Hao Duoyu's protagonist's halo no longer important?
"King Xiao, do you want me to accompany you to wait here?"
Zuo Wang came to Xiao Ye's side, a playful grin on his face.
Xiao Ye snapped out of his reverie and turned to look at Zuo Wang.
Zuo Wang eagerly stared at the seabed, waiting for Hao Duoyu to surface.
Xiao Ye, however, was calm and had no interest in waiting here.
As long as the system did not stop Xiao Ye from killing, Hao Duoyu could die whenever he pleased.
He had no chance to turn the tables anymore.
Xiao Ye's greatest enemy was She Tian, the one who treated the entire Blue Star as a sandbox for entertainment.
He said nonchalantly, "Let's go."
Zuo Wang was surprised by Xiao Ye's quick decision to give up and couldn't help but freeze. "We're leaving now?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ye nodded calmly, leaped up, and landed on Zuo Wang's original form.
Zuo Wang flapped his black wings and soared into the heavens.
However, as they ascended, Zuo Wang spotted a whirlpool not far away.
Thick black energy obscured the sun and covered the sky.
"Go there."
Seeing the black whirlpool, Xiao Ye suddenly understood something.
Zuo Wang obeyed without a word and flew towards it.
The black whirlpool was expanding, and occasionally, figures of demonic creatures appeared.
Xiao Ye used to wonder why the black whirlpools appeared.
Why did demonic creatures descend from the sky?
However, after learning from Song En, Xiao Ye now understood perfectly.
A cold laugh echoed in the air.
"You gods treat this land as fertile ground to raise pets; I will make you witness firsthand whether humans can become fertilizer for you."
The highest realm of the released demonic creatures was only S-class.
They called such demonic creatures "young pets." Once the demonic creatures grew strong by devouring humans and absorbing their essence, the so-called gods would select a batch and take them to She Tian to be kept as pets.
How ridiculous.
From beginning to end, the aloof gods never considered humans as living beings.
All the natives on Blue Star were merely tools to hone the competitive edge of demonic creatures.
"Annihilate!"
A slight curve formed on Xiao Ye's lips as his black sword unleashed dark energy.
In an instant, it fell upon the group of demonic creatures.
These demonic creatures were attacked by Xiao Ye and perished as soon as they arrived in this world.
Zuo Wang watched with a pounding heart, knowing... Xiao Ye was provoking She Tian.
However, due to the existing enmity with Song En, Zuo Wang did not interfere further.
Xiao Ye killed with great satisfaction, not letting a single demonic creature from the vortex escape.
The vortex spun even more vigorously!
Xiao Ye's gaze remained calm as he stared at the black vortex. The dim sky faintly emanated blackness.
He knew well that his slaughter would not escape the eyes of the gods.
These gods were all watching.
Xiao Ye had provoked them directly, and the gods stirred the thunderclouds of Blue Star.
The vortex seemed to be ominously swallowing everything, as if something monstrous was about to appear.
Zuo Wang warned Xiao Ye, "Is someone about to emerge from this whirlpool?"
Xiao Ye noticed something amiss with the vortex, which hovered and spun in mid-air.
The black energy was man-devouring.
The hilt of his sword emitted a cold glint. Xiao Ye mobilized the full power of his divine spark.
Xiao Ye charged towards the whirlpool and unleashed a powerful sword energy.
Heaven and earth trembled.
"Trying to come out? Get back where you belong."
The whirlpool was struck fiercely, and the entire black vortex vibrated.
No more demonic creatures emerged from that direction.
The whirlpool slowly dissipated before Xiao Ye's eyes.
Xiao Ye felt a surge of exhilaration.
He led Zuo Wang and flew in other directions.
They searched for the next whirlpool location and, using the same method, destroyed all the teleportation points created by She Tian.
"King Xiao, there's black fire here!!"
After destroying the fifth whirlpool, Zuo Wang and Xiao Ye accidentally stumbled upon a treasure trove.
Zuo Wang's voice rose with excitement.
He was a dragon-horse, and all his power was manifested as flames.
The flames here could make Zuo Wang stronger.
Xiao Ye glanced at the cave entrance. Black flames were everywhere.
Demonic creatures occasionally appeared from the surroundings. Upon seeing the black flames, they trembled and retreated.
"You stay here to absorb the flames. We'll meet up later."
Xiao Ye understood the benefits of the black flames for Zuo Wang and left him there.
Zuo Wang was overwhelmed with gratitude. "King Xiao, don't you need me to escort you back?"
Xiao Ye shook his head.
Zuo Wang became even more excited, his loyalty filling to the brim!!
As Zuo Wang watched Xiao Ye leave, he sat by the flames to absorb their essence.
His cultivation and aura began to grow slowly.
Zuo Wang closed his eyes, unaware of a hairy monster approaching.
The hairy monster saw Zuo Wang absorbing its black flames and instantly became furious. "This black fire is mine!"
Zuo Wang sensed danger and suddenly opened his eyes.
He met the gaze of the hairy monster, whose face loomed large before him.
Xiao Ye bid farewell to Zuo Wang and flew back to the City of Slaughtering Gods.
Upon arriving at the City of Slaughtering Gods, he was greeted by a human wall.
Countless humans stood outside the wall, shouting Xiao Ye's name.
Xiao Ye's first thought was to kill them all.
Were these people rebelling?
However, he spotted Gu Feng and the others outside the city.
And the natives of the City of Slaughtering Gods, carrying their baskets with beaming smiles.
"Please, I'll trade all my possessions to join the infected!"
"Grandma, you're already infected, quickly help us beg for an opportunity!"
"If my parents hadn't stopped me, I would have been a small infected soldier long ago!"
In the bustling City of Slaughtering Gods, they exemplified the saying, "If you can't beat them, join them."
Countless humans scrambled and fought desperately for a chance to become infected.
Xiao Ye's figure slowly flew closer.
Some of the infected present noticed Xiao Ye and immediately cleared a path for him.
"Welcome back, our King."
