From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

The Werewolf Race assassin instantly revealed his immense power!

The surrounding space trembled, threatening to annihilate everything.

But Li Yang simply watched with a cold gaze, his expression unchanging.

SWISH!

A ripple in space flashed, and a figure appeared before Li Yang. It was Hei Xu.

Hei Xu was already prepared and on full alert. The instant the Werewolf Race assassin struck, he was at Li Yang’s side, shielding him completely.

’He reacted that fast?’ The Werewolf Race assassin’s expression flickered when he saw Hei Xu intervene.

He had been lying in wait for this fleeting opportunity to strike Li Yang down in a single blow. After all, his power was comparable to Hei Xu’s.

If he couldn’t kill Li Yang on the first attempt, the difficulty would skyrocket.

But there was no turning back now that he had made his move. He prepared to strike again!

BOOM! BOOM!

But his expression suddenly changed. Behind him, two even more powerful auras erupted. In that same instant, they appeared directly in front of the Werewolf Race assassin.

’Four-Element Deities?’

The Werewolf Race assassin’s face fell as he saw the two powerful experts from the Human Race suddenly appear.

’How is this possible? Why are there two Four-Element Deities here?’

Mastering one additional law wasn’t a simple matter of doubling one’s power—it increased it tenfold!

A Four-Element Laws Deity was ten times stronger than a Three-Element Laws Deity. The gap between them was immense.

’I’ve failed!’

In that brief moment, the Werewolf Race assassin knew his plot to assassinate Li Yang was a complete failure.

However, there was no fear in the Werewolf Race assassin’s eyes—only madness.

HMMMM...

A powerful soul suddenly emanated from his body before completely dissipating. The aura around him receded like a tide.

”Soul annihilation?” The man in purple armor, Li Luo, frowned slightly as he looked at the now lifeless Werewolf Race assassin.

’These Alien Race infiltrators within the Human Race must have accomplices, and they must be in contact. If one of them was captured, wouldn’t all the others be exposed?’

’That’s why these Alien Race spies, upon mission failure with no chance of escape, choose suicide by soul annihilation.’

’They have long had restrictions placed upon their souls. Not even an Emperor could stop them.’

The assassination attempt began and ended in a flash.

The terrifying pressure quickly faded, and the trembling space calmed. The entire area returned to normal.

Just then, Elder Lie Shu of the Star Moon Race reappeared at the entrance.

’The human Li Yang was attacked?’

He could still sense the fluctuations from the outside world through the portal. Realizing something was amiss, he had immediately flown back out after returning to the Star Moon Race’s realm.

The moment he emerged, he saw the assassin strike. It was clear the attacker intended to kill Li Yang, and Elder Lie Shu’s expression changed instantly.

’Li Yang is in our Star Moon Race territory. If he dies here, our race will inevitably be implicated.’

’Li Yang is one of the Human Race’s two greatest prodigies, someone likely to become an Emperor in the future. How could the Human Race possibly not react?’

Just as the anxious elder was about to intervene, two more powerful members of the Human Race appeared—and they were Four-Element Deities. After they emerged, the Werewolf Race assassin’s soul was instantly annihilated.

Seeing this, Elder Lie Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

’It’s a good thing Li Yang is safe.’

But looking at the two Four-Element Deities, Li Luo and his companion, Elder Lie Shu wondered, ’Two of the Human Race’s Four-Element Deities appeared. Did Li Yang contact them? Does... does he know the Alien Race wants to kill him?’

’Just as Li Yang was being attacked, Four-Element Deities from the Human Race just happened to appear and save him. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?’

Elder Lie Shu didn’t believe in such coincidences.

’Li Yang most likely summoned these experts himself.’

At this, Elder Lie Shu recalled Li Yang’s strange behavior earlier—how he had suddenly returned to the Star Moon Race and entered the secluded cultivation grounds.

’Now that I think about it, he probably discovered the Alien Race member and was waiting for his own experts to arrive.’

While Elder Lie Shu was lost in thought, Li Yang was looking at the corpse of the Werewolf Race assassin.

”Li Yang, the assassin chose soul annihilation to avoid being captured and controlled,” Hei Xu sent to him via voice transmission.

”This way, the Human Race won’t be able to track down the other Alien Race infiltrators.”

Li Yang nodded. ”I know.”

He could now fully sense the Alien Race’s determination to kill him.

Before, he hadn’t fully grasped what it meant to be a Tri-System Deity, but now he had felt just how terrifying their power was!

Before an expert of that caliber, he was utterly powerless, like an ant.

And yet, an expert of that level had been willing to sacrifice his own life just to kill him.

As Li Yang was thinking, Hei Xu looked toward the two newcomers and said with a smile, ”Li Luo, Mu Xuan, we owe you for this one.”

Hearing this, Li Luo and Mu Xuan smiled. ”We just happened to be coming to the Star Moon Race to trade for some Star Moon Fruit,” one of them said. ”We didn’t expect to run into a hidden Alien Race assassin.”

Their words made it seem as if they hadn’t known about the Werewolf Race assassin beforehand. Clearly, they were saying this on purpose.

This was what Li Yang had requested.

”Li Yang, come, let me introduce you,” Hei Xu said, turning to Li Yang with a smile and actually introducing them all over again.

With a smile on his face, Li Yang said gratefully, ”Thank you for your help, Lord Li Luo and Lord Mu Xuan.”

”Haha, it was nothing.”

The two powerful Deities, Li Luo and Mu Xuan, both smiled in response to Li Yang’s thanks.

As they spoke, it was clear that numerous consciousnesses were probing the area.

Although the Star Moon Race didn’t usually concern themselves with outside affairs, the all-out clash involving Tri-System and Four-Element Deities had caused a huge disturbance. It was bound to attract the attention of many powerful individuals.

Li Yang thought to himself, ’Now that this assassination attempt has failed, the Alien Race will definitely investigate why.’

’If the Alien Race finds out that I knew the Werewolf Race assassin was lying in wait and had already called Li Luo and Mu Xuan for help, will they still send more experts to assassinate me?’

That was why Li Yang was pretending not to know Li Luo and Mu Xuan.

And Li Luo and Mu Xuan were pretending they had only saved Li Yang by chance.

This way, when the Alien Race heard about it, they would continue to dispatch experts to assassinate Li Yang in the future.

’Come, then. The more assassins, the better,’ Li Yang thought coldly.

Any more assassins who came would just be throwing their lives away.

For every one that came, the Alien Race would lose a Tri-System Deity.

The group continued to chat, acting as if they had just met.

Just then, Elder Lie Shu of the Star Moon Race finally flew over. With an apologetic expression, he said, ”Li Yang, our protection was inadequate. I apologize that you had to go through this...”
