"Dead?" Sun Xiao gasped. As a fearless live streamer, he had filmed many scenes, but this was a first. If he had to rate it, this scene would definitely be ranked among the top ten most memorable moments of his live streaming career. As for the other nine, they hadn't happened yet, but they certainly would in the future.
Mu Hao, whose injuries had somewhat improved, saw Lin Fan carrying the evil creature and had a bad feeling. "Don't be careless..."
Sure enough, just as he spoke, the shattered Evil Cockroach King reassembled its body and swung its fist at Lin Fan's back. Bang! The sound was dull. For anyone else, facing such a terrifying punch from the Evil Cockroach King would leave them utterly defenseless.
The ferocious blow was powerful enough to split heaven and earth, but the damage it inflicted was like a mosquito landing on sand, not even leaving a footprint.
"Impossible." Lin Fan turned around. "You're very rude."
Old Zhang said, "Lin Fan, beat him up! He's incredibly despicable, actually sneaking up on you like that."
One-Eyed Man gave Old Zhang an approving look, as if to say, You finally did something good, actually taking the initiative to ask Lin Fan to beat him up. Wonderful, excellent.
"Okay." Lin Fan turned back and gave Old Zhang a smile. He would fulfill any request from Old Zhang.
The Evil Cockroach King sensed immense danger. I'm going to die, I'm definitely going to die. This feeling was unmistakable. No one had ever seen the Evil Cockroach King sweat, not because it lacked sweat glands, but because it had never encountered anyone who could make it feel fear.
Now, such a person had appeared.
"You're strong. I want to have a chat with you." The Evil Cockroach King planned to use a diversionary tactic. It'll look like I'm just shooting the breeze with you, but actually, I'm preparing to retreat. I'll make a sudden dash when you least expect it and achieve my goal.
Lin Fan ignored the Evil Cockroach King.
The Evil Cockroach King had a bad feeling. It seemed the other party wasn't going to give him a chance. This was troublesome, but regardless, he had to do what he had to do.
"I will use my full strength to fight you!"
Then, the Evil Cockroach King roared as its body visibly expanded, and a storm of energy erupted from it.
This power was truly overwhelming. Anyone facing this force would be utterly shocked. Unfortunately for the Evil Cockroach King, it was facing Lin Fan, a terrifying existence who rarely encountered a worthy opponent.
Lin Fan raised his hand and pointed it at the Evil Cockroach King. This indifferent posture completely terrified the creature.
"Look, a cockroach..." the Evil Cockroach King pointed into the distance and shouted in mock surprise.
Seeing Lin Fan unmoved, the Evil Cockroach King cursed inwardly, then turned and ran. The purpose of raising its power to its peak was to facilitate its escape, nothing more.
Lin Fan's fist descended, and a terrifying force engulfed the Evil Cockroach King.
"I... I can't regenerate..." The Evil Cockroach King's body twisted, its features cracking. The crystal it was so proud of showed countless fissures. Finally, under the crushing force, the crystal shattered, and with a final, unwilling groan, it completely vanished.
Lin Fan found it utterly uninteresting.
"Are they all this weak now?" he muttered to himself.
One-Eyed Man patted Sun Xiao's shoulder. "See? With Lin Fan protecting Yanhai City, no matter what kind of evil creature comes, the result is the same."
His voice was loud, intentionally audible to the viewers in the live stream, as if afraid they wouldn't hear.
Sun Xiao nodded. "Yeah, he's really strong."
Then, One-Eyed Man gave Liu Haichan a look. Liu Haichan instantly understood and led Sun Xiao away. He whispered to Liu Haichan, "Don't come back. Keep an eye on this kid. Don't let him go anywhere."
"Hey, I don't want to leave yet!" Sun Xiao wanted to continue live streaming the scene, but being dragged by Liu Haichan, he had no chance to resist. Like a chick, he was at the mercy of the other party.
A long time later, the battle ended. The strongest Evil Cockroach King was directly killed by Lin Fan without even a whimper. It was truly unlucky. Even the powerful beings of the Starry Sky Clan would find the Evil Cockroach King troublesome. Even if their strength surpassed the Evil Cockroach King, facing its regenerative abilities, it was very difficult to kill it without absolute power.
One-Eyed Man waved his hand. "Everyone, get moving! Load the evil creatures onto the trucks."
"Yes!"
"Move!"
The special department members began cleaning up the scene. The Starry Sky Clan powerhouses were reduced to laborers, contributing to the Yanhai City Special Department.
One by one, the massive bodies of the evil creatures were loaded onto trucks. The workload was immense, not something that could be completed quickly.
In the city, citizens were stunned to see trucks loaded with the corpses of evil creatures passing by. Some had never seen an evil creature in their entire lives.
"Are those evil creatures?"
"So scary."
"Yeah, if I had to fight those terrifying things, it would be disastrous."
At the same time, they felt a deep sense of pride and reassurance in the special department. If it weren't for the special department, they didn't know what the outcome would have been. Perhaps they would have become food for these evil creatures.
One-Eyed Man, guarding the scene, fiddled with his phone, pondering and scheming. He was currently drafting an announcement for the public. The Starry Sky Clan powerhouses had contributed to this defense against the evil creatures, but for One-Eyed Man, he couldn't let the Starry Sky Clan take the credit. Even if it was their accomplishment, he had to steal it.
This announcement was well-written. A flick of his fingers, and he sent it. Then, after some thought, he added a line: "Open to ghostwriting."
At the department, Jin Heli picked up her phone, saw the message, and smiled. She was gradually discovering the leader's hidden talent: a classic schemer.
One-Eyed Man was well-prepared and had taken many photos, such as members of the special department standing handsomely beside unknown evil creatures, arms crossed, faces smeared with dirt, expressing how much effort they had put into fighting the evil creatures.
These photos were well-taken, captured from ingenious angles. It was surprising that the scheming One-Eyed Man possessed such photographic skills. One wondered if his photography mentor was Mr. Chen, as only someone extraordinary could achieve this.
Jin Heli immediately started to publish the announcement. The leader had sent her a message stating very clearly that although the Starry Sky Clan had repelled the evil creatures, the credit couldn't be given to them; it had to be snatched.
If you move fast enough, no one can catch up.
Jin Heli knew the importance of this matter. Although stealing credit wasn't a good thing, stealing it from the Starry Sky Clan was perfectly fine. There was no way they could let the Starry Sky Clan take advantage.
Soon, with the special department's efforts, the news was everywhere: television, the internet, anywhere with media, there were reports of special department members fighting against the evil creatures.
At this moment, citizens across the country saw notifications on their phones. Clicking open the news, they were stunned. The evil creatures had disappeared for months, and they thought they would never appear again. Unexpectedly, they had returned, and their target was Yanhai City.
The evil creatures in the photos were enormous, their size a stark contrast to previous evil creatures. They knew this was no ordinary invasion. Judging by their size, these were clearly elite evil creatures attacking the city. Even without being present, they could imagine the intensity of the battle.
"Yanhai City is truly plagued by misfortune."
"Yeah, the evil creatures always attack Yanhai City. But I heard that Yanhai City has a guardian deity, very powerful. We're able to live peacefully because of him."
"The Yanhai City Special Department members are truly amazing. I just don't know how many people died tragically at the hands of the evil creatures in this battle."
In their free time, ordinary citizens worried.
In Xia Du, Li Guofeng had already returned. He immediately received the notification that the evil creature army had passed by the Alliance High Court, and the Starry Sky Clan had confronted them, protecting the High Court.
When he first learned of this, Li Guofeng was truly shocked. He also knew that these evil creatures were courting death. They didn't even consider who resided at the Alliance High Court. Did they think they could just attack without consequence?
His first thought was publicity. He had to publicize this matter, let everyone know that the evil creature army had been stopped by their Alliance High Court.
The special department held a very high position in the public's mind. Li Guofeng had an idea: to elevate the Alliance High Court to the same level as the special department, and this was the perfect opportunity.
But soon...
"Holy shit!" Li Guofeng's face darkened. He opened his phone to see the special department publicizing their fight against the evil creature army. After reading the content, his blood boiled, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He didn't expect the special department to be so shameless, stealing the credit of their Alliance High Court. Was this something humans were capable of?
"Bastards! You're going too far! This was clearly our Alliance High Court's accomplishment, and you actually stole it! Damn it, this is outrageous!"
Li Guofeng raged, picking up a nearby vase, wanting to smash it. But when he raised the vase above his head, he remembered that he had bought it for tens of millions and hesitated, carefully placing the vase back in its original spot.
Then he went to the table and smashed the ashtray on the floor.
"Animals!"
Even in his anger, Li Guofeng remained rational, not touching the expensive antique vase.
Perhaps this was the self-control of a successful person.
He knew that the special department had already stolen the credit for this incident. Even if he issued a statement now, it would be useless. The public's trust in the special department was incredibly high, and his actions might even be seen as trying to ride the wave of popularity.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists.
"Fucking hell."
In the end, Li Guofeng could only use these three words to describe his current mood. He was truly frustrated.
In Yanhai City, One-Eyed Man looked at the comments online and nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad. The effect is excellent.
