Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The spear fell, the sword flew, and the blade broke.
Tyrant, Sky Jealousy, and Lazy Cat were empty-handed. Their faces were pale as they looked at Han Sen, who was standing in the middle like a mountain. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
The three of them had been defeated. Han Sen's fitness was so strong that it was almost inhuman. He was at the top of the human race in every aspect.
Every sword skill he used was a killing move. The power he used was unstoppable. Even they could not fight him for a long time.
After all, even they couldn't unleash the same amount of power as Han Sen did.
Lazy Cat looked confused. Now she knew why Queen wanted Han Sen to join the team. Han Sen was so strong that they could not compete with him.
Tian Du's eyes were also filled with complex emotions. Such a person was indeed not someone they could compare to, but he could not accept that the Empress had given up on them because of this.
"Let's go." Tyrant did not say a word. He turned around and left. He did not know what to feel.
Tyrant never thought Han Sen, whom he looked down on, would be so strong. He could not even beat him in a three-on-one battle. In the end, he still lost.
Seeing Tyrant and the others leave, Han Sen put away his swords. He looked at the forest and said, "Come out."
Queen's tall body came out from behind an old tree. She walked in front of Han Sen and said, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
Han Sen asked with a smile. He knew Queen was thanking him for not killing Tyrant and the others.
Queen did not answer him. She looked in the direction Tyrant and the others had left and sighed.
It was rare to see such a melancholy expression on the woman's face, and it was even more difficult to see her smile. Han Sen thought there was nothing in the world that could make her frown, but now she was sighing.
"Sky Pillar Mountain. Let's go." Queen's face returned to its usual coldness.
"Is it really okay to leave them like this?" Han Sen really wanted to know what the Empress was thinking.
"I only need useful people. If one day I find out that you are no longer useful, I will leave you without hesitation."
Queen added without turning her head, "Same for me. If you find out that I'm useless, you can leave me at any time."
Looking at the back of the Empress that appeared to be somewhat proud and aloof, Han Sen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What exactly is this woman carrying on her back?"
Han Sen also carried a lot of things on his shoulders. He knew that there were many things that couldn't be explained, so he didn't intend to ask again.
Just as the Empress had said, she needed Han Sen's power, so she was here. Han Sen also needed her power, and that was enough.
It was too difficult for a single person to slay a super creature. Even Han Sen had to consider cooperating with others, especially a top-tier evolver like the Empress.
Sky Pillar Mountain was a mountain that was ten thousand feet tall. It was difficult to see it from the outside, and from afar, it looked like a pillar that connected the sky and the earth. That was why it was named that way.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the Empress spoke seriously to Han Sen. "Sky Pillar Mountain belongs to the Chen family. If you encounter them, you must be careful of a man called Chen Ran."
"Is he strong?"
Han Sen had met a few members of the Chen family, including Chen Zichen and Zhu Ting. Han Sen had always wanted the Chen family's Seven Twists, but he had never been able to get his hands on it.
Even Zhu Ting, who was the illegitimate son of the Chen family, refused to say a word about it.
"Eighty years ago, Chen Ran opened his gene lock." That was all the Empress said, and then she stopped talking.
When Han Sen heard this, he knew how scary Chen Ran was. The history of the shelter had only been around for a hundred years, and Chen Ran had unlocked his gene lock eighty years ago. He was one of the best of the older generation, and after so many years of practice, his power had to be frightening.
Even if he had not opened his first gene lock completely, he must have opened it at a rate that ordinary evolvers could not hope to achieve.
If the Empress had to warn Han Sen to be careful of him, he had to be very strong.
Han Sen thought Sky Pillar Mountain was so big that they could find a random spot to climb it. But when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a group of people approaching.
The person in the lead had a head full of silver hair, but his face was that of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. There was not a single wrinkle on his face. He wore a silver armor, and his physique was extremely majestic. He rode on a three meter tall black tiger, and there was an indescribable domineering aura about him.
"Why didn't you tell the Chen family that you were coming to Sky Pillar Mountain? I would have welcomed you," Chen Ran said to the Empress, as he led a hundred riders towards her.
"We are here to hunt Sky Pillar Mountain. We wouldn't dare trouble you," the Empress said coldly.
"You are being too polite. The Chen family and the Huangfu family have been friends for many generations, and you are half a Huangfu. You are my nephew, so there is no need for trouble."
Chen Ran smiled and said, "The Sky Falcons reside at the top of the mountain. It is dangerous, so I will escort you up the mountain."
"Okay." The Empress did not refuse, and she agreed.
Chen Ran ordered most of his people to stay at the foot of the mountain. He took a dozen people with him, and they all climbed the mountain together.
Han Sen could tell Chen Ran was not escorting them, but he was afraid they would go and kill the super creatures on the mountain.
Han Sen was not planning to kill any super creatures, so he was not afraid of them following him. With these local thugs leading the way, it would be safer for them to reach the peak.
Of the dozen people Chen Ran brought with him, two of them had unlocked their gene locks. But they were not from the Chen family. After all, the Second God's Sanctuary was too big. Even if the Chen family had many people, the chances of them being randomly assigned to a particular area were low.
Han Sen raised his head and looked up. He could not see the peak of Sky Pillar Mountain. All he could see was the white clouds that surrounded the mountain. The mountain was like a dragon that pierced through the clouds.
"Fortunately, I did not bring the Silver Fox. If I hadn't, Chen Ran would have been suspicious."
Han Sen was there to hunt, so he couldn't bring the silver fox with him. So, he had to leave it in White Sand Shelter. Han Sen rented a room for the silver fox to wait in, so he could leave it there.
After reaching the height of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, they suddenly saw a grayish-white skeleton that was over a hundred meters long lying in the middle of the mountain. It was indescribably simple and strong, but it also seemed to have a ferocious aura that came from ancient times. Although it was just a skeleton without any flesh, it was still intimidating.
"Legend has it that this is the skeleton of the guardian dog of Sky Pillar Mountain. No creature will dare to come within one thousand meters of it," Chen Ran explained.
