Chapter 326: Blade of Vengeance!

After Dafanji was killed, the Eastern Knight Yamada fell into complete despair.

"Our Eastern top-ten-ranked advanced professional,

yet he couldn't even defeat one of their Dragon Nation's elite-level warriors..."

"The Dragon Nation is terrifying!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue received a private message from Liu Yao:["Thank you, bro, for giving me the chance to avenge Li Xiaoyao personally."]

For Zhang Yue, the battle had just begun.

The ones he killed so far were only those within the safe zone.

Outside Energy City, there were surely more Eastern devils.

Last time, not enough were killed, which led to the fire spreading again like spring winds awakening growth.

This time, Zhang Yue came with the intent to eradicate them completely.

Just as he was preparing to leave Energy City to hunt in the wild,suddenly, the Eastern Emperor, Ghostblade Dancer Inoue Amano, arrived at Energy City in the World 12, along with three of the Eastern top experts:

Blade Emperor Murai Ichiryuu, Shadow Ninja Kawasaki Jun,

and Witch Ikawa Riyo, leading a group of veteran professionals from the Eastern side.

Seeing this lineup, Zhang Yue smiled faintly and said:"Such a grand display—what, planning to kill me?"

Murai Ichiryuu was shocked:"Didn't the Dragon Nation run out of energy-based materials to create spatial rifts? How did he come over?"

Kawasaki Jun, noticing the spatial rift next to Zhang Yue, speculated:"It seems he exploited some artifact's skill to smuggle through the rift we opened!"

Inoue Amano knew that even if they gathered the full power of their advanced professionals, they'd only end up feeding Zhang Yue.

The only way to minimize the losses of the Eastern Kingdom

was to force Zhang Yue back to his own country.

Thus, Inoue Amano commanded:"Immediately close that rift!"

Although Zhang Yue had used Heart of the Ocean's skill to exploit the rift's bug to come to the Eastern side, the rift was ultimately opened by their own professional, Yamada.

If the rift was closed, Zhang Yue would be forcibly returned to the Dragon Nation.

At this time, Kawasaki Jun said:"Only the opener can close the rift. Aside from that, forcibly closing it with external power requires an advanced professional of the S-rank level. We, as high-tier professionals, cannot interfere."

Inoue Amano roared:"Where's the one who opened this rift? Make them send him back immediately!"

Little did they know, the opener of the rift, Yamada, was currently being tortured miserably in the Dragon Nation…

Wu Haotian, Endless Night Marquis, and One Night Stand

had intentionally unequipped their weapons, activated lock-health protection mode, and were pressing Yamada to the ground and rubbing him hard.

At first, Yamada was stubborn like a dead duck, his tough nature refusing to yield no matter how they hit him.

Later, beaten black and blue, covered in urine and feces,

living without relief, dying without release,Yamada finally gave in:

"Big brothers, big sisters, please kill me! Stop torturing me!"

"Kill you?" Wu Haotian twisted his neck, laughing:"What are you thinking? You think you deserve such a luxury?"

"You like visiting the Dragon Nation, right? Then let's make sure you get your fill!"

After speaking, Wu Haotian delivered a "crunch" punch, smashing Yamada's nose.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

The Eastern Kingdom, Energy City in the World 12.

Under Inoue Amano's orders, many advanced professionals in the wild used their teleportation scrolls to return to the city.

Of course, summoning them back wasn't to send them to their deaths.

Pointing at the spatial rift behind Zhang Yue, Inoue Amano shouted to the professionals rushing over:"Quickly, close the rift!"

Countless people took action.

Zhang Yue calmly declared: "Let's see who dares!"

The moment the words left his mouth—

ROAR—

Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar,

the gigantic body of the Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon crashed down in front of the spatial rift like a massive mountain.

Opening its blood-stained jaws, it let out a roar that sent all the approaching Eastern professionals retreating in terror.

At this moment, no one dared to get close to Zhang Yue. Everyone was overwhelmed by the fear and intimidation brought by the mythical Armageddon Black Dragon.

Just then—

A shadow darted through the crowd like lightning.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The Phantom Predator cut down everyone nearby with lightning speed.

At the same time, the Purgatory Skeleton King, who had been waiting by the resurrection spring for a long time, wielded his Abyss Greatsword and Hell Shield, slaughtering the resurrected Eastern professionals again and again at the spring.

Though Zhang Yue relegated him to trash-collecting duties,the Purgatory Skeleton King's strength, at this stage of the advanced professional realm, was absolutely overwhelming.

Dealing with these Eastern devils was more than enough.

After clearing out the enemies in the city, Zhang Yue left his eldest son, the Purgatory Skeleton King, to guard the spring, his second son, the Phantom Predator, to guard the spatial rift, while he rode the Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon out of Energy City to hunt in the wild.

Riding atop the Armageddon Black Dragon, Zhang Yue resembled the god of death descending.

Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass remained.

And all those killed would suffer a second and third purgatory

at the hands of the Purgatory Skeleton King at the resurrection spring until permanent death.

Those trying to close the rift were mercilessly slaughtered

by the Phantom Predator and his shadow army.

Inoue Amano, Murai Ichiryuu, and Kawasaki Jun could only watch

helplessly as their Eastern professionals were massacred,

unable to do anything.

Until the spatial rift automatically closed after two hours.

Zhang Yue was forcibly returned to the Dragon Nation.

In the end, assessing the battle damage—

Though not as catastrophic as the 300,000 West Capital Massacre, the casualties this time were still heavy.

Zhang Yue's second counterattack struck fear into the hearts of the Eastern advanced professionals.

Gathering around Inoue Amano, they pleaded: "Your Majesty, let's stop provoking the Dragon Nation! If this continues, he'll truly destroy our nation!"

"He's now mastered a way to cross borders. Whenever he comes, we have no way to stop him!"

However, Inoue Amano and the other Eastern elders, instead of giving up, grew even more filled with hatred and anger.

"Zero has killed so many of our Eastern people. This vengeance must be repaid!"

Such words could only come from those not personally facing Zhang Yue.

At least they had never fought him directly, still believing they could kill Zhang Yue easily, as long as he wasn't protected by 100-level experts.

Inoue Amano quickly left the otherworld and received an encrypted phone call immediately after logging out.

["Your Majesty, I have critical information to report. According to my secret investigation: The Dragon Nation has discovered, within the World 15, a secret that may link all countries' otherworld passages!"]

Hearing this, Inoue Amano was utterly shocked.

If the otherworld became interconnected, it would be catastrophic.

Without border restrictions, Zero would massacre their Eastern professionals at will.

Furthermore, the Dragon Nation's professionals outnumbered the Eastern Kingdom's tenfold.

Should the veteran professionals from the Dragon Nation fully mobilize, the Eastern Kingdom would have no way to resist.

Their current confidence in opposing the Dragon Nation rested on the inability of the Dragon Nation to invade them.

Instead, the Eastern Kingdom could invade at any time through spatial rifts.

Thus, they could only engage in sneak attacks, assassinations, and bullying.

Never would they dare to confront the Dragon Nation head-on.

As Inoue Amano grew increasingly uneasy, the voice on the other end of the line continued: ["However, because of the difficulty in deciphering the secret, no low-level professional in the Dragon Nation can solve it currently. Only when Zero enters the World 15 can he possibly decipher it."]

Inoue Amano stood up.

["Under no circumstances can Zero unravel the secret of interconnection!]

[At all costs, by any means necessary, he must be stopped!!"]

["Before he enters the World 15, we must eliminate him!"]

After hanging up, Kawasaki Jun voiced his concern:"Zero has already figured out how to exploit our rifts to enter our territory. If we continue using them, aren't we just inviting disaster?"

"And ever since Xu Aiguo died and his secret organization was dismantled, no one in the Dragon Nation is willing to collaborate with us."

"How will we stop him?"

Inoue Amano set down his phone, saying: "So, who do you think I was just speaking with?"

"Or, who do you think has been serving as our inside agent, helping us connect our spatial rifts to specific locations in the Dragon Nation?"

Kawasaki Jun was startled: "Could it be…"

"In their Dragon Nation, I've planted an even deeper seed than Xu Aiguo!"

Inoue Amano's cold gaze revealed killing intent: "Now, she will be forged into a blade of vengeance, piercing straight into the heart of the Dragon Kingdom!" [T/N: It better not be Ooyang this time]
