This wasn’t enough; amidst the excruciating pain in his body, he suddenly found a hole in his chest, where a hand as white as jade, with sharp nails, held a bright red heart and appeared before his eyes.
"So this is what my heart looks like?"
The mont the Alien Lord had this thought, he saw a dark green spear growing endlessly larger in his view.
With a "swish," it pierced through his eyeball and penetrated his brain.
The power of the poison instantly invaded his brain and rapidly spread throughout his body, turning him completely forgive- green.
Instant kill!
Without the slightest resistance, he was killed on the spot by a man, a horse, and a ghost.
"Well done, let’s go and destroy his domain next."
Casually throwing the Alien Lord’s corpse into his spatial belt, Zi Liyuan patted Lao Ma’s neck, and man, horse, and ghost imdiately turned towards the direction of the domain.
In a matter of seconds, they were once again above the domain.
"Lord 65165 is dead, drop your weapons and kneel to surrender—those spared; resistors, executed without rcy!"
Zi Liyuan’s voice, from a hundred ters in the sky, was followed by the fall of a Shadow Arrow, which struck the stone walls at the gate with precision, blasting a hole over a ter wide.
Not satisfied, he pulled the corpse of Lord 65165 from his spatial belt and, holding the head, made a show of it to the troops below.
Almost instantly, the stationed troops and Subjects plunged into chaos.
If it had only been Zi Liyuan attacking, these stationed troops and Subjects might have put up so resistance.
But now that the Lord was dead, what was the point of resistance?
Thus weapons were cast to the ground, and the stationed troops and Subjects kneeled down, their foreheads touching the ground to show submission.
"Very well."
There were a total of eighty-five troops, all warriors, with only one at First Order Peak Level 40, while the rest had just stepped into Level 21 First Order.
He had the Undead Jade Horse land, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned over five thousand Little Skeletons to start destroying the domain’s buildings and plundering resources.
Zi Liyuan, riding on Lao Ma and holding Hongsha, arrived in front of the Lord’s Mansion.
The Level 4 Lord’s Mansion was re a small courtyard; as he approached, a Protective Light Shield appeared.
"The Lord is already dead; what’s the point of a Protective Light Shield? Such a waste of my ti."
Ignoring the system’s notification sound that echoed in his ears, Zi Liyuan considered it all nonsense, preferring to get straight to the action.
"Lao Ma, shatter this turtle shell."
With Hongsha in his arms, Lord Zi leaped down from the horseback.
"As you command, Master."
Lao Ma stomped the ground with his hooves, gathering strength before launching forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.
With his head as hard as a diamond, he slamd into the outer wall of the Lord’s Mansion, causing the Protective Shield to violently shake and even begin to crack and fissure.
After repeated impacts, and in rely a few seconds, the Protective Shield shattered under Lao Ma’s assault, breaking into countless points of light that faded away.
The Lord’s Mansion also crumbled into rubble under Lao Ma’s charge, leaving only a fist-sized, castle-shaped stone hovering in the air.
After acquiring another [Heart of the Castle], Zi Liyuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned towards the other buildings on the domain.
Rich or not, this Lord truly lacked, with not a single special structure in the domain besides the regular buildings— he hadn’t even built defensive structures like arrow towers.
Having destroyed the domain and looted all the resources, a group of Little Skeletons, escorting the disard troops and Subjects, set off towards Lord Zi’s domain.
War spoils like a population resource are just Black Slaves, aren’t they?
They would be exploited relentlessly and, once they died from it, they’d be resurrected with spells, their skeletons dragged up to continue toiling away!
Ensuring these stationed troops and Subjects live and die serving Lord Zi, eternally laboring in the dark!
Even capitalists would be envious to tears!

"The resources we snatched this ti are really scarce, Hongsha, where’s our next target?"
He patted the perky bottom of Hongsha in his arms and asked again.
"Slave will take master there right away."
The coquettish voice stirred sothing in Lord Zi’s heart, and then he saw a red blur flash past him, appearing in the air and speeding away in an instant.
"Lao Ma, keep up!"
With a flip, he jumped onto Lao Ma’s back, the Undead Jade Horse burst into fla from its hooves, shooting up into the sky like a rocket.
Within minutes of high-speed flight, they covered hundreds of kiloters.
However, before reaching the territory of the next Lord, they were forced to a halt.
Twelve thick bolts of lightning fell from the sky, and had the Undead Jade Horse not reacted quickly enough to shift its position, it might have been struck head-on.
Hongsha wasn’t so fortunate, with four of the lightning bolts aid at her. Although she dodged three, she was still struck by one.
The sudden lightning strikes coincided with the appearance of twelve giant shadows in the sky, hovering a kiloter above them.
Within their golden feathers twinkled faint purple electric light, each bird’s wingspan was easily ten ters, with eagle heads and fierce claws—they commanded awe and fear.
A Tier 4 Peak Level 100 rare Epic Boss—the Thunderbirds!
Truly high-order creatures, naturally controlling lightning, extrely irritable, and on top of that, they preferred living in groups!
Zi Liyuan looked at the one situated centrally, its wingspan a whopping twenty ters.
Clearly, this was the leader of the Thunderbirds, a Heroic Boss, and the one who had ordered the attack on Lord Zi.
This flock of Thunderbirds, totaling thirteen, blocked their path, seeing them as prey.
"Damn it, why did we run into such ill stars! Lao Ma, can you outpace these Thunderbirds?"
He was out hunting Lords, not to beco prey for monsters, so of course, he didn’t want to waste ti.
Experience more tales on empire
Engaging with the flock of Thunderbirds now would be utterly unworthy of the effort, which is why Lord Zi’s first thought was to get away, skirt around these dumbasses, and continue hunting Lords.
"Master, rest assured, these dumb birds are only fit to kiss the horse’s ass."
"Hongsha, co back, we’re withdrawing!"
Hongsha suffered a blow; lightning was the bane of ghosts, and she had been struck squarely by the thickest bolt.
Obviously, the dumbass in the sky had targeted Hongsha—after all, she was a ghost, wasn’t she?
"Master, it hurts so much, can’t you avenge ?"
With a flicker, Hongsha appeared in Lord Zi’s arms, her jade arms naturally wrapping around his neck, her alluring eyes suddenly becoming watery.
"Ti is on our side, and when ti cos, I’ll personally help you skin and debone these dumbasses to craft a shining golden feather coat for you, how about that?"
Patting Hongsha’s perky bottom, Lord Zi then patted Lao Ma’s neck.
The next mont, the Undead Jade Horse turned into a black shadow, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky and vanished from the sight of the dumb birds.
"Chirp chirp!!"
How could the Thunderbird leader let them get away?
It emitted a long cry, then with a flap of its wings, led its family in pursuit of the fleeing Undead Jade Horse.
An isolated undead creature, one of them a ghost, wholly vulnerable to their elent, if they could kill its opponent and consu its life source, maybe it could advance to an Epic Boss.
In the chase, the Undead Jade Horse, after all an Epic Boss and particularly quick on its feet, managed to outpace the Thunderbird leader.
But the flock of Thunderbirds did not give up the chase so easily.
Only when completely losing sight of their target did they, reluctantly and with roaring cries, cease their pursuit and choose another direction to hunt for food.
"Indeed, the Sea of Realms is perilous at every turn, and in the future, we should be more cautious when flying through the sky, just to avoid running into Fifth Order creatures."
Having subdued the Undead Jade Horse and Hongsha, elevating them to the Epic Boss template, Lord Zi’s perspective had shifted sowhat, becoming more reckless and uninhibited in his actions.
