49: Don't push me to fight!

Fan Zhe's fingertips trembled violently within his sleeve, not from fear, but from a decision born of near despair.

He stared intently at the Alien Queen, who radiated endless killing intent... The moment her cold compound eyes swept over him, a surging, unmatched chill from the depths of his soul instantly froze his blood!

That was not simple hostility, but pure, destructive killing intent, like a gaze from the abyss!

The Queen's target was not just the Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast; she had locked onto all of them!

Especially... Fan Zhe!

This was by no means a warning, but a death sentence!

Fan Zhe instantly understood that no conventional means could buy even a moment of time in front of this terrifying existence.

A variable!

It was that Golden Contract Scroll!

This was the only chance to create chaos and secure a sliver of hope for his young master!

"Young Master! Give me the Scroll!"

Fan Zhe's voice was hoarse and urgent, carrying an undeniable sense of immediacy.

Fan Zhe was startled by Fan Zhe's sudden burst of tension and the Queen's almost tangible killing intent, instinctively feeling a bit bewildered, not understanding why the old butler was asking for the Scroll at this moment.

But his long-standing absolute trust in Fan Zhe overrode all doubts, and he almost instinctively handed over the Golden Contract Scroll, which glowed with a dark golden light.

As the Scroll entered his hand, the dormant power within Fan Zhe instantly surged!

A tragic, resolute aura spread... This was the limit of the power Fan Zhe's energy clone could muster!

"Young Master! Go quickly!"

Fan Zhe roared, his voice like a broken gong.

He suddenly pushed with the hand not holding the Scroll, and a soft yet irresistible force instantly propelled Fan Zhe towards the two guards who had already been poised for action behind him!

"Take the Young Master and go!!"

Fan Zhe's roar was like that of a wounded beast.

At the same time, he gripped the Golden Contract Scroll with his other hand, and as energy surged, a golden rune containing compulsory rule power instantly erupted, transforming into a streak of light that, ignoring spatial distance, violently branded itself onto the forehead of the Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast, which was trembling in fear under the Queen's pressure, almost losing its will to resist!

"Roar!!!"

The Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast let out a roar mixed with pain and fury!

The Golden Contract's mandatory command was like a red-hot branding iron, deeply seared into its soul!

Its crimson beast eyes, which had been filled with terror, were instantly consumed by a berserk, irrational desire for slaughter!

The Contract's coercive power overrode its fear of the Queen!

"Hold it back for me! At all costs!"

Fan Zhe's voice carried the rule power of the Contract, like a heavy hammer striking deep into the Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast's soul!

The Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast's massive body violently shook, and its body, covered in thick rock armor, burst forth with astonishing speed, charging with a suicidal frenzy towards the Alien Queen, who radiated terrifying pressure!

And Fan Zhe himself had transformed into a streak of light!

He abandoned defense, abandoned retreat, with only one target in his eyes—Lin Feng!

Killing the Summoner's main body was the only hope for his young master to escape with his life!

His gaunt fist was clenched, a gravity field compressed to its extreme condensed upon it, and space itself twisted and collapsed around his fist!

This punch contained the peak of his current power!

"You little beast! Die for this old man!"

Fan Zhe's furious roar carried endless venom, and his bloody fist-shadow tore through the air, heading straight for Lin Feng's head!

The speed was extreme!

At the same time, the two energy guards beside Fan Zhe had already seized the still somewhat dazed Fan Zhe, one on each side, their internal energy circulating wildly, preparing to take him outside the stone forest!

However, the Alien Queen's reaction was beyond imagination!

Facing the Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast's suicidal charge and Fan Zhe's fierce punch aimed at Lin Feng, the Queen's massive body did not show the slightest panic.

A pure, efficient killing intent flashed in her cold compound eyes.

"Hiss...!"

A piercing shriek, sharp enough to pierce eardrums, rang out!

The Queen's bony wing-blades on her back instantly unfolded and interlaced like living things! A dense net of dark bone-blades, accompanied by a space-tearing shriek, bravely met the wildly charging Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast!

"Boom!!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, sparks flew!

The Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast's immense strength, capable of collapsing mountains, was actually blocked by this seemingly thin net of bone-blades!

Its head, covered in thick rock armor, slammed hard into the blade net, emitting a grating sound, and the enormous impact caused the rocks beneath the Queen's feet to crack inch by inch, but the Queen's body remained rooted, not moving a muscle!

The bone-blades deeply embedded themselves in the rock armor, and although they could not instantly break through its super-strong defense, they firmly held it in place, and the violent impact was forcefully deflected and neutralized by the Queen with terrifying strength and skill!

At the same instant!

The Queen's barbed tail stinger, gleaming with a deadly cold light, like a venomous spear from hell, tore through the air at a speed beyond the limits of visual perception, accompanied by a sharp sonic boom, and stabbed with incredible precision towards the trajectory of Fan Zhe's punch aimed at Lin Feng!

"Clang!!!"

A colossal clang, like metal striking metal, exploded!

The tip of the tail stinger struck with unparalleled precision on Fan Zhe's fist, which had condensed a terrifying gravity field!

A violent energy shockwave instantly erupted, tearing up a layer of the surrounding ground!

Fan Zhe only felt an irresistible, bone-chilling immense force surge along his fist, and the condensed gravity field shattered inch by inch like fragile glass!

He grunted, his entire body violently thrown backward by the immense force, tumbling several times in the air before barely stabilizing himself, his internal energy violently churning, and his arm aching!

He looked at the Queen in horror; while she was directly confronting the Rock Armor Beast, a single tail stinger had effortlessly neutralized his long-prepared fatal blow, even forcing him back!

Fighting two against one, the Queen, in a flash of lightning, not only blocked the Rock Armor Beast's berserk charge but also preemptively neutralized Fan Zhe's sneak attack, even subtly gaining the upper hand!

Her massive body stood in the center of the battlefield, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, her cold compound eyes scanning the entire field, as if proclaiming absolute dominance.

Fan Zhe, being supported by the guards and attempting to flee, witnessed this terrifying scene, and his heart almost leaped out of his throat!

Fan Zhe's energy clone, burning all its power, plus the berserk Rock Armor Beast, were actually steadily suppressed by that monster's single-handed effort?

What kind of monster had Lin Feng summoned?!

The shadow of death had never loomed so clearly.

The arrogance and ruthlessness on Fan Zhe's face were instantly replaced by boundless terror.

At this moment, Lin Feng's gaze also fell upon him, his eyes like those watching a lamb to be slaughtered.

On the other side, the Alien Queen in the center of the battlefield did not slow her movements!

The bone-blades suppressing the Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast suddenly erupted with even stronger power, forcefully pressing the giant beast's head lower, the bone-blades grinding against the rock armor with an ear-piercing shriek, sparks splashing like a waterfall!

At the same time, her terrifying tail stinger attack instantly became like a torrential storm!

No longer precise stabs, but transforming into a sky full of flashing, deadly afterimages, accompanied by space-tearing shrieks, overwhelmingly engulfing Fan Zhe, who had just stabilized himself!

Each strike contained terrifying penetrative power capable of piercing Gold-level defenses!

"Puff! Puff puff puff!"

Fan Zhe's face changed drastically, pushing his energy clone's power to the extreme, his body transforming into streaks of afterimages, desperately dodging and blocking.

But the Queen's tail stinger was too fast, too cunning, and too strong!

He barely avoided vital points, but his shoulder, ribs, and thighs were instantly pierced with several bloody holes!

Because it was an energy clone, physical damage directly accelerated the loss of power! His aura began to decline rapidly.

The Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast also let out a painful roar under the Queen's suddenly increased power, struggling to lift its head, but was firmly suppressed by the net of bone-blades, its massive body continuously sinking, and the cracked area of the ground grew larger and larger!

The pressure doubled!

Fan Zhe and the Ground-Splitting Rock Armor Beast instantly fell into an absolute disadvantage, facing extreme peril!

Seeing Fan Zhe and the Rock Armor Beast in dire straits under the Queen's suddenly berserk attack, Fan Zhe's last psychological defense completely collapsed!

"Don't force me!"

"Otherwise, we'll both go down!"

However, Lin Feng did not pay attention to his shouts; the remaining Silver-level Aliens, under Lin Feng's command, slowly advanced, blocking Fan Zhe's path to escape...
