I Am Here to Collect a Debt

1/18/2026

There are over a thousand Heavenly God–level taboo beasts—I'm afraid the city's grand formation won't hold them off.

"Commander Mu, what should we do? Please make a decision quickly! And when will the God-Demon Corps reinforcements arrive?" The Prefect was now completely panicked.

He was only late-stage Lower Heavenly God, but outside there were a thousand Heavenly God–level taboo beasts. If the formation broke, he and Galen Mu would be the first to suffer.

Galen Mu’s face broke out in a fine sweat, but he still said, "Don’t worry, Prefect. The God-Demon Corps should be arriving soon!"

Boom! Boom!

Just then, huge and ugly taboo beasts shot into the sky and began pounding the formation.

Even the divine arrows in the hands of the city’s soldiers couldn’t hurt these taboo beasts. Tens of thousands of soldiers turned pale with fear, but none tried to run.

Because they knew there was no escape.

Very soon.

Under the bombardment of over a thousand Heavenly God–level taboo beasts, cracks appeared in the city’s protective formation. Seeing this, Galen Mu felt the urge to turn and flee. "Damn it, why haven’t the God-Demon Corps reinforcements arrived yet!"

At that moment—

A figure flickered—suddenly, there was someone new standing atop the city wall.

“Brother Song, it’s you!”

Seeing Ian Song, Galen Mu was overjoyed.

It was Ian Song, but not his true body—just an avatar.

“Slash!”

Ian Song’s fire-attribute law avatar called out softly, and the longsword in his hand shot out a dazzling sword-light. Wherever the sword-light passed, several Heavenly God–level taboo beasts were sliced cleanly in two.

“Slash again!”

Ian Song’s avatar kept swinging his sword.

His sword was swift and fierce, almost like lightning, and its power was immense. Even Upper Heavenly God–level taboo beasts couldn’t withstand a single strike and were split in two.

My god, has he really grown this strong?

Galen Mu stared in shock at Ian Song's avatar, slaughtering taboo beasts. He felt a pang of jealousy—after all, Ian hadn't even become a Heavenly God when Galen was already Mid Heavenly God. Now Ian was Upper Heavenly God, while he was still Mid Heavenly God.

Actually, he didn't know this was just Ian Song's avatar—the real body was a hundred or a thousand times stronger. Even so, an Upper Heavenly God avatar was already among the strongest of its kind.

After slaying more than two hundred taboo beasts, the remaining Heavenly God–level taboo beasts finally grew fearful and turned to flee.

But Ian Song’s avatar rushed out of the formation at that moment.

Scarlet sword energy crisscrossed like a meat grinder, instantly killing more than a hundred Heavenly God–level taboo beasts. The others crashed into the horde, hiding themselves.

Slash!

Ian Song's avatar raised his longsword and, with some effort, brought it down in a sweeping slash.

Immediately, a sword energy a hundred yards wide and a thousand yards long swept across the sky, crashing into the horde of taboo beasts.

Wherever the sword energy passed, hundreds of thousands of taboo beasts were instantly reduced to dust—even the ground was carved with a massive trench thousands of yards long.

So strong!

The people on the city wall stared in shock at the scene before them.

Then, Ian Song's avatar continued swinging his sword.

With each swing, at least a hundred thousand taboo beasts were slain. After several hundred swings, tens of millions of taboo beasts fell to his sword.

Just then—

Reinforcements from the God-Demon Corps arrived.

Seeing Ian Song fighting alone outside the city, every one of them was left speechless, utterly shocked.

There were nearly a hundred reinforcements in total.

All of them were Seven-Star God-Demons.

Among them was Huntley Hayes. When he first came to Elmridge Prefecture, he was only a Mid Heavenly God. Now he had advanced to Upper Heavenly God, his strength even greater.
