Paris's eyes narrowed as she quickly retreated. She hadn't expected the native to still have the strength to attack her after being attacked by Parlie and Veron, but it was too late by the time she reacted. The slash left a huge gash on her abdomen, blood dripping down her clothes and onto the ground. Pain engulfed her nerves, causing her to unconsciously fall to one knee as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
One man and one blade had suppressed the capital. Frenzied Blade Hua Sheng, the first of the Seven Sages. Parlie and the other two finally understood why he was the strongest person on Earth.
They couldn't understand how Earth had given birth to such a terrifying character in just half a year of evolution. Realmbreakers were rare even in the Great Yu Empire.
Realmbreakers were powerhouses who could display power one level above their current realm. Their gadgets were set very strictly, and even if they were at the peak of their current realm, they might not be able to display the power of a higher realm with the help of battle techniques.
Parlie was a peak Sentinel with a battle value of 3000, but even if he used battle techniques and had the power to fight Melders, it was impossible for him to reach a battle value of 301. It was like a wall that separated Sentinels from Melders.
There was only one type of person who could shatter this wall, and that was a realmbreaker powerhouse. Someone who could display the power of a Melder despite being a Sentinel was known as a freak. When Zhang Dingtian raised his blade, his power level had dropped to -3200, which was a Melder's power level.
"Let's go," Parlie growled, flying out of the capital.
Veron and Paris endured their injuries and left at the same time.
Zhang Dingtian did not give chase. He calmly watched the trio leave. These three were not weak. Some time ago, alien students had come to Beijing to cause trouble, but none of them had been able to survive a single strike from him. He had already killed five students, but these three had actually been able to withstand a single strike from him. He had the battle prowess of a Supreme Saint.
This was especially the case for that shortie, who was equally matched with his blade, extremely formidable.
"Huasheng." Armored vehicles appeared one after another, and a beautiful young woman in professional attire walked out of one of the vehicles. She came to Zhang Dingtian's side and asked worriedly.
Zhang Dingtian replied calmly, "Pass down my orders, strictly investigate unfamiliar cultivators. Report to me immediately if you see one that looks like a student. Don't take the initiative to attack."
"Which group of Starry Sky students did you just fight with?" The woman asked.
Zhang Dingtian looked at her. "Don't overthink it. No one is my match."
The woman's eyes were filled with reverence as she nodded her head and gave orders to the army. Her actions were swift and decisive.
Outside the capital, the three of them landed. Paris angrily roared, "A native injured me! He actually injured me! I want him dead! I want him dead! I want him dead immediately!"
Veron wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I can't believe the natives have realmbreakers."
Parlie replied in a low voice, "Don't worry about it. Combat statistics are the most unreliable means of detection. Victory or defeat still depends on the person and their battle techniques."
Veron frowned as he looked at the capital. Unreliable?
That's right. Generally speaking, the combat value was indeed unreliable. Many experts did not intend to increase their combat value at all. They wholeheartedly focused on their combat skills. This kind of person was quite powerful. However, the combat value for breaking through the current realm was different.
The Great Yu Empire had even decreed that realmbreakers could directly join the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons. That was the highest authority in the empire, and realmbreakers were respected as much as talents. He had just experienced the terror of a realmbreaker; that native didn't seem to have used any battle techniques, only a single blade had been enough to overwhelm him.
Although Parlie spoke casually, he couldn't hide the envy and jealousy in his voice. He was a peak Sentinel with a combat level of 3000, and had even defeated Melders with his battle techniques. But so what? He still couldn't break through that barrier and raise his combat level to 301. That level had trapped countless geniuses, and now he was seeing it in a native.
"I won't let him go, a native actually dared to injure me!" Paris was immersed in her hatred, her eyes flashing with bone-deep hatred, "I'm going to trigger a beast wave."
Parlie's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. Veron agreed from the side, "Clues to the fugitive must be hidden in the capital. Zhang Dingtian might know, but a direct confrontation isn't wise. Paris, immediately trigger a beast wave and keep Zhang Dingtian outside the city. Parlie and I will look for clues."
Paris nodded, licking the corner of her lips before rushing off into the distance.
A day later, Lu Yin and Jeraldine arrived at Hebei. They heard that the capital had been attacked by a beast wave, and that the area outside was filled with mutant beasts and zombies.
"There are close to ten million zombies outside, so there shouldn't be a beast wave. I remember Jaeger saying that Paris is here as well. Could she be the one behind it?" Lu Yin guessed.
"That's possible. Students from Blue Mountain Academy all know how to tame beasts, and as the strongest in the academy, Paris must be extraordinary."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold; if it really was her, then she couldn't be allowed to live.
"It's actually a good thing. As long as the people in the capital don't come out, it should be fine," Jeraldine said.
If Jeraldine could think of this, then Paris could as well. Why would she still trigger a beast wave?
Within the capital, countless soldiers were running around to relieve the soldiers. The beast wave and zombie wave had a certain impact on the capital, with the occasional flying beast causing cries of alarm.
On top of a tall building, two silhouettes were looking outside the city. In the distance, a slash swept across the sky, cutting a flying mutant beast in half. Blood sprayed high up in the sky.
"That's Zhang Dingtian, number one of the Seven Sages. He's really powerful," Gerlaine exclaimed.
Beside her, Balaror said solemnly, "He's stronger than me."
"Nonsense, he's a realmbreaker. Even if you and I worked together, we might not be able to beat him."
Balaror wasn't convinced, clenching his green fists, "I don't need to fight him head-on, I can just exhaust him."
"This beast wave should be caused by that woman, Paris. She's vicious and must have suffered at Zhang Dingtian's hands before. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so crazy. She must have paid a heavy price to cause such a large-scale beast wave," Gerlaine muttered.
"The beast wave attracted Zhang Dingtian, and there's no one in the city. Parlie and Veron might be looking for clues about the fugitive," Balaror suggested.
Gerlaine immediately activated her gadget and exclaimed, "Wow, five Sentinels! One of them is a Melder — Zhang Dingtian, the other four should be Parlie, Veron, Eddy, and Hayden. They're all here, this is going to be interesting."
Balaror's expression turned serious, "Eddy is here too? That's troublesome, he's very strong."
Gerlaine replied, "Eddy entered Yu Academy through an exception and defeated the strongest of thirty academies. That's his record. It's a little troublesome, but it's fine. What do you think Zhang Dingtian will do if we leak this information to him?"
Balaror frowned, "Betray our own people?"
Gerlaine rolled her eyes, "There's no such thing as' own people ', we're competitors. Besides, the Empire sees us and the earthlings as trial takers, there's no such thing as betrayal."
Balaror nodded, "I can use the plants to hold back the beast wave and free up Zhang Dingtian."
"Then it's decided!" Gerlaine was overjoyed.
On the other side, two figures wrapped in black robes stood in an abandoned hotel.
"Eddy, I can sense Balaror's aura. His plant aura is very strong," one of the black-robed men spoke up, his lips curling into a cruel smile.
The other black-robed man spoke in a deep voice, "There are seven Sentinels in the city, including us. There's also Paris outside, so there are eight Sentinels gathered here. It'll be a bit troublesome, but it won't be too hard to kill. The only problem is Zhang Dingtian, there's actually a realmbreaker among the natives. Unbelievable."
"Leave Zhang Dingtian to me, I want to see what a realmbreaker is like." The black-robed man looked up excitedly, his eyes flickering with green light.
Atop the steel city walls, Zhang Dingtian's expression was solemn as he watched the endless zombie wave and beast wave in the distance. It was like a meat grinder, with creatures dying every second as blood and gore filled the air.
The zombies were weak and could be easily torn apart by the mutated beasts' claws, but their venom was strong and the beasts suffered heavy losses as well.
Ten kilometers to the east, Paris's face was pale as she excitedly looked into the distance. "Go, more, more! I'm going to use the beast tide to bury this city. A mere native actually dared to injure me? I'll make you pay the price!"
She didn't notice that a cold air had appeared beneath her feet at some point. Although the temperature wasn't low, there was a layer of white frost in the air.
Still staring at the distant battlefield, Paris adjusted her clothes. Why did it feel a little cold?
