"Ah—"
Li Zekai let out a pig-like scream, his entire face contorted in agony.
"Wu Lingtian! I will kill you!"
"Shut up."
"Whoosh!"
"Ugh..."
Li Zekai remained with his mouth agape, but now a beam of light pierced through it.
"Cough—"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood in terror, his face blank as he stared at the bloodstain on the ground.
Wu Lingtian's eyes were cold, his pale index finger still pointing at Li Zekai, his voice icy.
"Li Zekai, I know you won't regret this, so you will slowly die in despair and pain."
Li Zekai was unable to move, his eyes fixed on Wu Lingtian, filled with resentment.
Wu Lingtian was unmoved by Li Zekai's hateful gaze; neither of them were kind people, so what was there to fear?
Wu Lingtian's eyes were completely expressionless; no one knew what she was thinking.
She watched silently as Li Zekai's life drained away until he died.
...
Hancock stood in a pool of blood, her fist still dripping with eagle-man blood.
A scattering of eagle-men lay around her, all lifeless.
Her eyes were empty and cold, her face devoid of any pleasure, only profound exhaustion.
Not far away, Medusa let the wind tousle her hair, silently watching the blood staining her hands. She felt no joy after revenge, only an indescribable, complex emotion.
The battle between the snake-men and eagle-men had no "victor," only the tragic fate of their races.
To evolve, the eagle-men needed to devour the snake-men.
For the snake-men to evolve, they needed the "blood of the Black Tortoise."
The Black Tortoise, to survive, hunted birds and aquatic creatures.
The Black Tortoise, having value, was slaughtered by powerful creatures.
Powerful creatures, wanting to become stronger, would compete and fight with equally powerful creatures, an endless struggle.
This is a biosphere, a closed food chain. There's no right or wrong; everyone is just prey and predator.
...
The crushing defeat was predictable, and the outcome was quickly decided.
All members of the Dragon Alliance and Snake Island suffered no casualties.
As for all members of the Western Alliance, White Bear Alliance, Korean Alliance, and Eagle Clan, they were all killed.
[Announcement: The Western Alliance is completely wiped out. The battle is over.]
[All assets under the Western Alliance have been automatically transferred to the Eastern Alliance. The winning side can distribute them as they see fit.]
[The Alliance War instance will close in 20 minutes. Please make proper evacuation arrangements.]
[If you have finished, you can exit early.]
[Welcome back next time.]
Fang Xian flicked his finger, and the storage rings of Li Zekai, Jin Yaoyang, Trustas, and several other leaders flew towards him.
No one showed any dissatisfaction upon seeing this; they all waited for Fang Xian to speak before daring to clean up the battlefield.
He casually put away their storage rings, smiling at everyone.
"This arduous and protracted battle has allowed me to witness your courage and resilience."
"It was your valiant struggle that enabled us to win this seemingly impossible battle."
"Congratulations, you did it."
"At the same time, we have proven to the world the sincere friendship between the Dragon Alliance and Snake Island."
"The Dragon Alliance and Snake Island will always be one family."
The crowd was still somewhat immersed in the carnage, not quite regaining their composure.
They all knew Fang Xian was in charge now, and instinctively clapped, cheering for his speech.
Fang Xian smiled, checked the time, and knew that what they were most looking forward to and enjoying was about to begin.
"Alright, time is limited. We'll talk about it later when we get back."
"Now, everyone listen up! You have 10 minutes to loot the corpses. Whatever you get is yours to keep. After 10 minutes, everyone must leave the 'Alliance War Dungeon'."
Upon hearing this, the applause grew even louder than before.
The more honest ones continued clapping, while the more shrewd ones began looting the corpses.
Over eight thousand corpses were enough to make them rich.
Wu Lingtian, Hankku, Medusa, and the others came to Fang Xian's side, quietly watching them happily loot the corpses.
Ten minutes passed, and they had all made a fortune, each one overjoyed.
Fang Xian clapped his hands, gesturing for everyone to look over.
"Alright, all of you, teleport out first."
"Remember, don't reveal my strength to anyone, lest it expose your abilities."
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, everyone clicked to exit the "Alliance War Instance."
Tsunade and Lü Lingqi glanced at Fang Xian with complicated expressions before exiting the instance.
Lü Wushuang, Xiang Tianyu, and Zhao Yunlong, seeing that Fang Xian didn't ask them to stay, tactfully withdrew.
Fang Xian, seeing that only Wu Lingtian, Hankku, Medusa, and his wives remained, didn't waste any time.
"Tian'er, come here and form a contract."
The women all looked at Wu Lingtian, saying nothing.
Wu Lingtian kept his word, walking firmly to Fang Xian.
Fang Xian smiled slightly, a black magic circle appearing beneath his feet, connecting to Wu Lingtian's feet, forming another black magic circle.
A large "Human Lord" appeared between the two.
The women were slightly surprised upon seeing this.
Wu Lingtian was also somewhat puzzled. The contract she was to sign was a "Human Lord Contract," meaning she would have to obey Fang Xian from now on.
She simply took a breath, then looked at Fang Xian with a determined gaze.
Seeing that Wu Lingtian didn't refuse, Fang Xian realized he had completely won her over.
Even without the contract, he could do whatever he wanted to her, but a contract was safer, at least more convenient.
"Contract."
Wu Lingtian answered without hesitation.
"Agreed."
The black magic circle linking the two shone brightly, merging into a large black magic circle.
A moment later, both Fang Xian and Wu Lingtian felt the "Power of the Contract," the contract was successful.
The light dimmed, and the black magic circle disappeared.
[Contract successful, current contract partners: 27/51.]
Wu Lingtian was slightly surprised, feeling no change in herself, as if there was no contract at all.
She simply didn't know that even without the contract, she would be wholeheartedly devoted to Fang Xian, which is why she didn't sense anything unusual.
After signing the contract, Fang Xian unleashed his "Mysterious God Physique," and terrifying black energy rose slowly.
Wu Lingtian, Hankku, Medusa, Tifa, and Asuna were all startled, seeing Fang Xian in such a terrifying form for the first time.
Tifa: "Honey... how can you have such a dark aura?"
Asuna: "So cold..."
Medusa: "This aura doesn't belong to our animal race..."
Hankku: "It should be the aura of a demon or a strange race, but my husband is clearly human..."
Wu Lingtian: "Fang Xian, what kind of constitution do you have?"
Fang Xian mischievously pinched Wu Lingtian's pretty face, saying seriously:
"Call me husband."
Wu Lingtian stared blankly at Fang Xian with her phoenix eyes. Being pinched on the cheek in front of everyone made her both shy and annoyed.
Especially having to call Fang Xian "husband," she was even more shy.
But she also felt a little sweet. Lowering her head, she softly called out:
"Husband."
Fang Xian stroked Wu Lingtian's head contentedly, like petting a docile kitten.
If outsiders saw this, they would be completely dumbfounded. Was this still the decisive and ruthless Wu Lingtian with an iron fist?
He was so unfamiliar.
Fang Xian released nine "Black Qi Demon Hands," letting them devour all the corpses present.
The five beauties felt a chill run down their spines as they stared at the nine "black demonic hands" emanating a chilling aura.
The nine "black demonic hands" continued to devour all the corpses present, making them feel even more uneasy.
Tifa hugged herself tightly, feeling the cold seeping into her body and mind.
"Husband, what is this? It feels so cold."
"Don't be afraid, this is your husband's 'Mystic God Physique'."
He decided to reveal it all to avoid any further panic.
"Watch closely, the next physique is..."
