"boom!"
A thick bolt of lightning struck down with a deafening roar, as if tearing the night sky apart!
In an instant, lightning struck the behemoth, instantly blasting away most of its body. The enormous, pitch-black figure, as if cleaved in two by a sword, split into a cloud of black mist that dissipated into nothingness.
The city management officers who witnessed this scene gaped wide-eyed, and the half-eaten melon rinds in their hands fell to the ground without them even noticing.
In the darkness of night, in the void, a powerful figure with a cloak and a long halberd appeared, resembling a thunder god who could summon lightning—fierce and menacing!
"Wow...that's awesome! That monster was just killed by lightning like that?"
"So this guy was hiding his true strength from the beginning, summoning lightning to strike people!"
"An old dog like me, why do I smell the scent of a little fox's kind!"
"Hiss..."
The group of city management officers gasped, lowered their heads, and hoped that the arrogant and powerful figure was deaf and couldn't hear their previous complaints.
Otherwise, a single lightning strike would wipe them out; even the little fox god couldn't withstand it!
"Summoning lightning... Could it be the patriarch of the Tulip Clan?!"
Black Crow looked surprised. His pupils contracted, and he suddenly stretched his neck and widened his eyes, trying to see clearly the man who had defeated the giant beast.
"How did we end up talking about the tulip family again?"
Xiao Han asked curiously, feeling a little interested in that cunning old man who could summon wind and rain, control thunder and lightning, and who appeared to be defensive but secretly attacked people.
"Chief Francis of the Tulip Clan possesses the potential to wield the power of lightning. He is revered by the Divine Court as the Silver-Crowned Swordsman and is renowned in the nearby cities. He has been bestowed the title of Watcher of Titan City, the Free Lightning Under the Eternal Night..."
"He has too many titles, doesn't he? Does he, like me, traverse the wasteland and receive a multitude of adoration, with a mountain of gifts delivered to his door?"
"Pretty much. When Lord Francis was young, he traveled all over the world. He once led his guards and went to the Southern Duchy alone. It is said that he left behind several legends there. In an arena, he swept away all his enemies and stood out. He was highly valued by a lord of the Southern Duchy and eventually won the heart of a beauty."
As Black Crow spoke, he gazed at the figure that transformed into lightning and disappeared into the darkness under the night sky, his eyes filled with envy.
Titan City is ultimately located in a barren land in the North, while the Southern Duchy is a relatively prosperous region in the Nordic territory, where the Knights Alliance, which resists the Demon King's army, is located.
"So awesome! ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Oh, I mean, such an amazing adult, no wonder he's Minnie's father."
Xiao Han was slightly surprised, not expecting that among the decadent and powerful elites, there was such a fierce and powerful top expert.
As for the female lead in "The Return of the Beauty," if Xiao Han is not mistaken, she should be Minnie's mother, an elf slave who is skilled in dancing and believes in the Silver Moon.
However, Minnie's killing of her brother Albert and her falling out with the Tulip family gave Xiao Han a glimpse into the complexities of love and hate within the aristocratic circles.
It must be that Francis, as the clan leader, wanted to have a harem, but he started it all and then abandoned it, a complete scumbag. This led to his beloved daughter's betrayal and her seeking revenge for her mother. Xiao Han understood this kind of trope.
"It is rumored that Lord Francis broke the human limit twelve times. This achievement has not been reached by any predecessor in Titan City for hundreds of years. Even the highest one was the nine human limits achieved by Brian of the Divine Court."
Black Crow solemnly warned Xiao Han that he should never contradict Francis at the Purple Vine Garden meeting, as Francis could strike with lightning with a mere wave of his hand, a terrifying power beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Perhaps Francis has taken a half-step on the golden path and is secretly refining the Sequence Tree. After all, it is the foundation of an ancient family, and it is reasonable for them to possess a Sequence Tree.
"Yes, the summoned lightning is as free and unrestrained as a wild horse. It strikes you without warning, leaving no room for preparation. Simple and brutal, that's the true essence of a man's battle."
Xiao Han wholeheartedly agreed, and with a peculiar twist of his mind, steered the topic in a completely different direction.
"Ahem, in short, Lord Francis's strength is beyond doubt. It can be said that he is a legendary figure with the strongest fighting force in Titan City."
Black Crow withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Han: "The meeting is about to start when you're finished cleaning up!"
"Slow down, no rush, let me do a quick check first."
Xiao Han then reached down and grabbed a lucky clover, stuffing it into his wristband.
Ordinary people would never have imagined that Lucky Clover was Xiao Han's trump card, possessing the heaven-defying power to turn the tide. Even if Francis were to attack him, as long as Xiao Han maintained a high frequency of attacks and controlled him to death, he would eventually die under the little fox's sword!
The outcome could be either a helpless counterattack, leaving them frustrated to death (Brian: Disgusting! Can't they play the game?!), or they could withstand a burst of power, wait for Xiao Han's demonic energy to run out, and then turn the tables on their opponent.
As for strategic resources like clover, the more the better. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to keep potions to maintain his magic energy consumption inside the wristband, Xiao Han would have loved to take all the resources and turn them into clover.
After all, the upcoming plot, without even needing to think, is all about a life-or-death battle.
He's the kind of man who's determined to survive until the very end!
What worries him most is still the necromancer. After betraying him, he is unlikely to be so calm. He may have left behind a whole host of tricks to lure and kill him!
"Little fox who diligently pulls weeds, you seem to have forgotten the person you are waiting for."
At this moment, a clear and melodious voice, like a clear spring flowing slowly in a mountain stream, surprised everyone.
The next moment, on a sturdy fruit tree with vines entwined around it, a graceful young woman in a snow-white dress sat elegantly on a branch. Her long, flaxen hair in a single ponytail, like smooth silk, cascaded down her back. Her slender, fair hands were sipping a cup of fine green tea.
Elegant and serene, clear and ethereal.
The girl seemed to blend into nature naturally, exuding a charm as beautiful as mountains and clear waters.
Wow, it's a beautiful lady!
"Don't try to get too close, this is Miss Minise! Lord Little Fox's fiancée!"
"Eh? When did Little Fox Lord set the date for the wedding... Oh, a secret rendezvous, I've got some information!"
"The little fox is really amazing! Not only did he seduce Miss Lily, but he also managed to snatch away Miss Minise from the prestigious family and get engaged!"
"No, no, I think Lord Little Fox has much grander ambitions. His real goal is to subdue all the young girls in the city! We must fight for Little Fox's goal! Let's get this going, brothers!"
A group of city management officers misinterpreted the meaning of Minnie's presence, making wild assumptions, which caused Black Crow, who was listening silently to the side, to turn pale.
You guys are asking for trouble!
What the hell? The little fox and Minnie were having a secret rendezvous, with roses blooming all over the mountain and rosy clouds flying everywhere? Your brains must have been kicked by that bastard Gladys!
Huh, who is Gladys?
