In the office on the 99th floor of Qiang Long Corporation.

Su Botian covered the phone’s receiver and looked at Lin Chen, who was sitting across from him, and asked, “Did you hear that? Why did the Demon Alliance come? I didn’t violate Gu Changqing’s order.”

“Could it be something else? Did you unknowingly provoke Gu Changqing?” Lin Chen frowned. He believed that as long as they did not provoke Gu Changqing, Gu Changqing would be too lazy to care about them. Since the Demon Alliance came, he would not believe it even if Su Botian denied it.

“I’ll go down and take a look. Do you want to come with me?” Su Botian asked, hoping to pull Lin Chen along with him.

“This is your matter. I don’t want to get involved,” Lin Chen said, not falling for Su Botian’s trick, “You should solve it on your own.”

Su Botian cursed inwardly, but outwardly, he said, “Alright then.”

With that, Su Botian left the office and took the elevator down. On the way down, he called his younger brother, Su Yan, and told Su Yan to bring his men down.

Since the other party came so aggressively, the only thing Su Botian could think of was that his brother might have been exposed for his intention to bomb the Demon Alliance Base. Apart from that, he could not think of anything else. If the other party really came for this matter, then there would definitely be a bloody battle later.

…

On the first floor.

Taotie looked at the time and saw that five minutes were almost up. However, no one had come down yet. His eyes, from outside the helmet, glinted coldly.

The people hiding in the corner shivered in fear.

Just when Taotia was about to kill his way up to the top floor, the elevator door slid open, and more than ten people walked out. Su Botian and Su Yan walked in the lead while 13 peak fourth-rank Divine Runemasters walked behind them.

“May I ask why you’re here?” Su Botian asked, “My Qiang Long Corporation didn’t offend the Demon Alliance, right?”

“I don’t know if you’ve offended the alliance or not. I only know that my boss told me to give you two choices. One is to die, and the other is to obey. From now on, Qiang Long Corporation will belong to the Demon Alliance,” Taotie said as he looked at the group of people in front of him. A black light flashed on his hand before the 2-meter-long heavy and domineering Taotie Battle Halberd appeared in his hand. The patterns on its surface made it look even more intimidating.

Su Botian’s expression darkened as soon as he heard these words. He shouted, “You’re too unreasonable! Do you think my Qiang Long Corporation is easy to bully?”

Subsequently, the Hydra Armor appeared around Su Botian, and nine fierce black pythons grew on his back. His gaze was vicious as he raised his hand. A light flashed, and a black spear with snake scales appeared in his hand.

Su Yan, Su Botian’s brother, scoffed coldly, “It’ll have to depend on your capability if you want us to submit.”

Su Yan, a late-state fifth-rank Divine Runemaster, equipped his Blazing Qilian Armor and Blazing Qilin Spear.

Buzz!

Following that, the duo’s subordinates activated their divine runes as well, equipping themselves with armor of various colors.

Upon seeing this, the people on the first floor ran out tremblingly.

Seeing that the opposition had equipped their armor, Taotie said coldly, “Oh? So you intend to make an enemy out of our Demon Alliance?”

“We have no intention of making an enemy out of the Demon Alliance,” Su Botian said in a low voice, “However, you’ve gone too far. We’re willing to fight to the death!”

“Fight to the death?” Taotie said disdainfully. A burst of terrifying power surged out of him as he rushed out toward Su Botian and Su Yan at five times the speed of sound. The halberd in his hand shone brightly before the phantom figure of Taotie appeared, roaring.

Five times the speed of sound was extremely fast. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just an instant.

However, for Su Botian and Su Yan who were in the fifth rank, they could still catch Taotie’s movements. Their expressions changed slightly. They knew they could not dodge so they could only use all of their strength and block with their weapons.

A loud boom rang in the air as Taotie’s tyrannical attack landed. Under the impact, the Su brothers were sent flying through wall after wall. They only managed to stabilize themselves after they crashed through the building.

“Kill!” Taotie roared as he charged through the walls that the brothers had broken through.

“Let’s go, brothers!” Li Dahai, the Demon Divine Runemaster, bellowed as a Demonic Saber appeared in his hand. He charged toward a Divine Runemaster clad in green turtle armor and attacked.

Boom!

Now that the chaotic battle between Divine Runemasters was about to break out, everyone quickly fled out of the building.

In the distance, the Su brothers, who had just stabilized their footing, looked at Taotie who was charging toward them in the air.

“This person isn’t simple. I’ll attack upfront, and you’ll attack from the side. Don’t hold back. We must finish him off as soon as possible,” Su Botian said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he activated another one of his divine abilities, the Black Python Overlord Body, and rushed out to meet Taotie with his Hydra Spear in hand.

Boom!

The two were very fast and met in just a blink of an eye,

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The heavy halberd met the long spear, and a wave of violent energy burst forth. The ground cracked, and gravel flew everywhere at the moment of impact.

In just one second, they had already exchanged dozens of moves, leaving destruction in the area within a radius of several miles.

Everyone fled in fear.

Bang!

Just as Su Yan found a chance and raised his Blazing Qilin Spear to cast his divine ability, Blazing Qilin’s Chaotic Sky, to charge over, he discovered that his brother could no longer withstand Taotie’s heavy and fierce attacks.

In just a moment, Su Botian was sent flying by Taotie’s halberd that seemed incomparably heavy.

Boom!

Su Yan hurried over, casting the Blazing Qilin’s Chaotic Sky. Flames surged out, transforming into three Qilins that pounced at Taotie.

“Taotie Stomp!” Taotie roared and took a step forward.

Boom!

The ground collapsed with a loud boom.

In just an instant, the ferocious and violent figure of Taotie appeared and met the three Blazing Qilins.

The former was extremely fierce. It raised its forefeet and opened its mouth, easily destroying the Blazing Qilins. Then, it pounced at Su Yan.

Among the Qilins, the strongest was the Five Element Qilin. One of Gu Changqing’s divine runes was the Five Element Qilin. As for the Fire Qilin, it was weaker than Taotie. It was not surprising that it was easily destroyed.

Su Yan’s body was covered in raging flames as he brandished his Blazing Qilin spear and met Taotie’s phantom figure.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang in the air as the phantom Taotie disappeared.

Su Yan, on the other hand, was forced back a few steps by the overbearing force.

“Die!”

However, in the next moment, Taotie, the namesake of the mythical creature, attacked. A burst of light appeared as he ruthlessly brought his war halberd that weighed thousands of pounds down on Su Yan’s chest.

A cracking sound rang out as Su Yan flew back like a cannonball. Then, his armor disappeared as he crashed through the countless buildings. When he finally landed, a deep pit was formed, and he was completely lifeless.
