54: orc herder

This pressure, carrying clear hostility and savage bestiality, instantly enveloped the entire chaotic battlefield!

The beast horde, originally in disarray from the Alien Queen's slaughter and intimidated by her aura, abruptly halted its frantic charge the moment these two Gold-level peak pressures appeared, as if a pause button had been pressed!

Immediately after, all the magical beasts, regardless of their level, whimpered in terror as if they had encountered their natural predator. They prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, and even actively parted to both sides, clearing a wide path, no longer daring to make the slightest move.

It was as if their instincts told them that these newcomers were the true masters who held their lives and deaths in their hands!

Two figures, accompanied by powerful wind pressure, suddenly stopped in mid-air in front of the stone forest.

They exuded the formidable aura of Gold-level peak powerhouses, their gazes like lightning, and immediately locked onto the most conspicuous Alien Queen in the beast horde, whose killing efficiency was horrifyingly high!

These two individuals had extremely peculiar appearances.

The one on the left was unusually tall and burly, nearly three meters, with muscles bulging like stacked rocks.

His arms were exceptionally thick, and from the elbow down, they were covered in dense, dark brown scales that gleamed with a metallic luster. His fingers had even mutated into sharp, curved talons, like the claws of some fierce raptor.

His neck was also covered in the same scales, extending down to both sides of his jaw.

Most striking were his eyes, which were cold, reptilian vertical pupils, flickering with cruel and wary golden-yellow light.

The one on the right was relatively leaner but equally full of power.

His skin had an unhealthy grayish-green hue, and his cheeks and exposed forearms were covered in fine, dark green scales resembling those of a venomous snake.

His ears were long and pointed, swept slightly backward, and their edges were also covered in fine scales.

His lips were thin, and when they slightly parted, the tip of a slender, forked tongue, like a snake's, was faintly visible.

Both wore rough leather armor made from some tough beast hide, stained with blood and dust, exuding a strong wild and bloody scent.

They hovered in mid-air, their eyes fixed on the Alien Queen, filled with extreme vigilance and… barely concealed shock!

Because they clearly perceived the aura emanating from the Alien Queen.

That was definitely not Gold-level!

It was a higher-level, more primordial pressure that made their souls tremble!

Although it seemed to be just a step away and not yet stable, that was definitely a Transcendent-level aura!

“Half… half a step into Transcendent-level?!”

The burly Beastmaster with the raptor-like talons spoke with a hint of barely perceptible dryness.

Despite his shock, seeing the dead bodies strewn everywhere below and the annihilated beast horde, a monstrous rage instantly overshadowed his awe of a Transcendent-level powerhouse.

These were all their “herds” that they had painstakingly raised and regarded as property!

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder's vertical pupils constricted, containing intense anger and… killing intent!

Through the Alien Queen’s perspective, Lin Feng clearly “saw” these two strangely-figured ‘people,’ and also learned from the Alien Queen that these two were far from being able to threaten her.

Lin Feng’s lips curved into a cold arc, and he had no more reservations in his heart.

With a slight thought, he directly issued a cold command to the Alien Queen:

“Keep killing! Leave no one alive!”

The command, like a cold current, instantly pierced through the Alien Queen’s consciousness.

The cold light in her compound eyes, which had just become even more profound due to her breakthrough, flared intensely. Without the slightest hesitation, her massive body, covered in a black chitinous exoskeleton, suddenly spun around. Her glowing claws, like the scythe of death, once again swung towards several Silver-level magical beasts that were prostrate and trembling nearby!

“Pfft! Pfft!”

The dull thud of blades entering flesh, accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering bones, rang out again. Warm blood and shattered organs sprayed out, appearing particularly dazzling in the setting sun.

The Alien Queen was decisive and incredibly efficient in her killing, as if the previous pause had never happened, continuing her efficient harvest.

The primordial crystal core in Lin Feng’s abdomen greedily absorbed the vast energy feedback. The fourth pattern had just condensed, and the rudimentary form of the fifth pattern had already begun to faintly appear!

“Bastards!!”

“How dare you, beasts!!!”

The eyes of the two Beastmasters in mid-air were about to split open!

They never expected that this terrifying creature, exuding a Transcendent-level aura, would actually ignore their presence and even continue to slaughter their “property” right in front of them!

The burly Beastmaster with the raptor-like talons was furious, the scales on his neck bristling with rage, his golden vertical pupils almost spitting fire.

“Stop! If you dare to harm another beast in my ranch, I will ensure your complete annihilation today!”

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder even shrieked, his forked tongue quivering violently.

“What if it’s Transcendent-level? Do you really think my ‘Barren Rock Ranch’ has no one?!”

In their fury, the Gold-level peak auras of the two men erupted like two volcanoes about to erupt.

They both reached into the crude beast-skin pouches at their waists and each drew out their weapons.

In the hands of the burly Beastmaster was a grim bone claw, about five feet long, completely black, and curved like a giant eagle's talon!

The base of this bone claw was thick, its tip sharp as a hook, and its surface was covered with naturally formed, dark red patterns resembling burning flames, exuding a scorching and sharp aura.

This was clearly the main claw severed from some powerful flying magical beast, polished slightly to become his weapon, primitive and savage, yet containing terrifying destructive power.

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder, on the other hand, held a pair of sharp fangs, less than two feet long, shimmering with a chilling, eerie green light!

The fangs were crescent-shaped, entirely like poisoned jade, and their tips exuded a viscous, unsettling poisonous glow.

These were clearly the venomous fangs of some highly poisonous snake-type magical beast, which he had directly refined into lethal daggers, insidious and treacherous, instantly fatal upon contact.

“Roar!”

“Hiss!”

The two men roared in unison, and violent energy, full of wild vitality, frantically surged into their seemingly primitive weapons.

The burly Beastmaster raised the giant eagle claw bone weapon high. With demonic power infused, the dark red patterns on the bone claw suddenly lit up, flowing like molten lava, and the entire bone claw instantly erupted with a layer of solid, crimson claw shadow, carrying a tearing heat!

He violently slashed at the Alien Queen, who was still slaughtering below, from a distance!

“Sky-Rending Eagle Strike!”

A colossal claw shadow, burning with crimson demonic flames and ten zhang long, tore through the air, accompanied by an ear-splitting shriek, striking fiercely at the Alien Queen like a divine eagle descending from the heavens!

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder, meanwhile, twisted his body eerily, like a venomous snake darting out of its lair, moving so fast that he left trails of afterimages.

He crossed and swung his hands, and the pair of poisonous fangs erupted with a thick, eerie green poisonous mist, instantly condensing into two intertwining, lifelike giant poisonous python phantoms!

“Twin Venomous Fang Bind!”

The two giant pythons, formed from pure demonic poison, hissed, opening their fanged mouths wide. One from the left, one from the right, with a stench that corroded space, they lunged to bite at the Alien Queen!

Facing these two terrifying attacks, which were enough to instantly severely injure ordinary Gold-level peak powerhouses, the Alien Queen didn’t even look up.

In her cold compound eyes, the trajectories, energy composition, and even the weak points contained within the two attacks were as clear as slow-motion decomposition under her perception, which had already touched the Transcendent-level domain.

The Alien Queen merely casually raised her dripping right claw.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling light and shadow effects.

She simply, with a casual motion, slashed at the tearing crimson claw shadow and the biting eerie green poisonous python phantoms in mid-air.

“Rip!”

A tiny, almost invisible black spatial rift, like paper sliced by the sharpest blade, appeared out of thin air in front of the Alien Queen’s claw.

The menacing crimson claw shadow and the two ferocious poisonous python phantoms, upon contact with this black rift, were like bubbles thrown into nothingness. Without even a ripple, they silently… annihilated!

As if they had never existed!

In mid-air, the two Beastmasters, who had just unleashed their strongest attacks, had their furious expressions instantly freeze, replaced by unparalleled shock and disbelief!

Their strongest combined attack had been so casually… erased by the opponent?!

The Alien Queen slowly retracted her claws, her exoskeleton-covered head turning slightly towards the sky. Her cold compound eyes, for the first time, truly “watched” the two Beastmasters.

A pseudo-Transcendent-level pressure, far clearer, more condensed, and more soul-freezing than before, like an invisible tsunami, crashed down upon the two men!
