Chapter 74 Still Trying to Run Away?

Some ferocious beasts, seeing this human was so fierce and possessed the strength to completely crush them, even began to slowly retreat, emitting uneasy low growls, clearly having developed an intention to flee.

"Want to run?"

Zhang Fan shook the filth and blood off his hammer, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Eight Desolations Mountain-Suppressing!"

With a thought, the perfected-level Dragon Elephant Eight Desolations Cinder Dragon secret technique roared into operation!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Eight immensely thick totem fire pillars, with him as the center, suddenly shot up from the ground! In an instant, they completely enveloped all the remaining ferocious beasts, along with a hundred-meter radius around them!

Forming a scorching Eight Desolations Mountain-Suppressing force field!

"Hehe."

Zhang Fan grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Afraid you might run."

"After all, when adding points, I can't afford to miss a single one."

The true slaughter began...

Every flash of the hammer shadow was accompanied by the miserable howl and death of a ferocious beast.

Several of the largest King-level Ferocious Beasts—Rhino-Elephants and Earth Dragons—that had charged to the very front, attempting to use brute force to shake the force field, let out unwilling roars. Bearing the heavy pressure, they launched a desperate charge toward Zhang Fan.

"Competing with me in strength?"

A flash of mockery crossed Zhang Fan's eyes.

Dragon Elephant Astral Art! Ten Thousand Rivers Return to Source Classic!

Both main cultivation techniques were simultaneously pushed to their current limit! It felt as if dragons and elephants were roaring within his body, his strength instantly climbing to its peak!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging head-on at the hill-like Armored Earth Dragon at the very front!

Mountain-Collapsing Heavy Martial Hammer, Mountain-Cleaving!

Clang!!

The hammer collided with the armor, emitting a massive sound like a great bell, shaking the very earth!

The Armored Earth Dragon's momentum came to an abrupt halt. Its thick back armor, capable of withstanding missiles, collapsed inward with a massive dent at the point of impact! Dense cracks instantly spread across its entire body!

Crackle...

Bones shattered completely!

The Armored Earth Dragon bled from its seven orifices, its massive body falling to the ground with a boom like a golden mountain toppling over, its life force extinguished.

[Attribute Points +550!]

Zhang Fan did not stop, using the rebound force to twist in mid-air, smashing his hammer toward a Giant Rhino nearby that was attempting to gore him with its tusks!

"Pfft!"

The hammer smashed into the side of the Giant Rhino's neck, directly shattering its cervical vertebrae, causing its head to tilt at a bizarre angle.

The third hammer smashed the trunk of the last Giant Elephant, which had tried to lash out with it—that trunk, comparable to a battering ram, was shattered at the root. The remaining force did not dissipate, slamming into the top of its skull...

Utterly unstoppable!

Under the multiple crushing forces of absolute strength, speed, cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and tactics, these King-level Ferocious Beasts, having lost their long-range support and trapped within the Eight Desolations Mountain-Suppressing field, were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered before Zhang Fan.

Hammer shadows flew, flesh and blood splattered.

When the last King-level Pangolin-like beast, which had tried to burrow into the ground, was shaken out of the earth by Zhang Fan with one hammer and had its head smashed, the entire battlefield had no living creature standing except for Zhang Fan.

The ground was covered with the massive, mangled corpses of various ferocious beasts.

Zhang Fan calmed his surging blood and qi.

The Ten Thousand Rivers Return to Source Classic operated on its own, continuously replenishing his strength, and the consumption from the intense battle just now was rapidly recovered.

He carried the mountain-suppressing dragon skeleton hammer and began to "clean up the battlefield" unhurriedly.

His fingertips brushed over each still-warm King-level carcass, and the notification sounds in his mind were like the most beautiful music, one after another.

When the last bit of attribute points was credited, he took a look at the panel:

[Available Attribute Points: 10900].

Counting the remaining points from before, this wave of thirteen King-level beasts, plus their elite minions, had brought him a massive total of 10057 points! Adding the previous remaining points, it totaled 10900!

Zhang Fan nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to put away the base void-piercing cannon, which had been in a charging state the whole time but had not fired a single shot.

This cannon was originally intended as a deterrent, keeping those ferocious beasts on edge and in a state of constant vigilance.

In the base behind him.

Everyone had their eyes widened and mouths agape, looking at that figure leisurely strolling amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

From the moment Zhang Fan threw his first Void-Rending Meteor Hammer, until the last ferocious beast died, it took no more than three minutes in total.

Three minutes, thirteen King-level Ferocious Beasts that had formed a battle formation and knew how to cooperate, all wiped out!

Someone swallowed dryly and muttered, "Just now... did we... worry for nothing?"

"Commander Zhang asked us to handle the stragglers, but this... there isn't even a single straggler left?"

"More than just stragglers... I keep feeling that after Commander Zhang finished killing them... he still seemed, unsatisfied?"

From Zhang Fan's calm face, they seemed to see a faint trace of "That's it already?" regret.

...

Meanwhile, deep underground.

Tan Yi and a dozen powerful Alliance experts were all wounded and weary, but their eyes held a trace of relief.

In front of their feet was a massive, complex energy light barrier flickering.

On the surface of the light barrier, intense energy turbulence flickered from time to time, showing that the existence sealed within was still constantly attacking.

"Finally... temporarily forced it back into the depths of the lair."

"Setting up this energy forbidden zone will at least ensure that within a year, it cannot summon ferocious beasts outward again."

"An Overlord-class beast... its vitality is too vigorous; every one symbolizes a natural disaster. Being able to temporarily seal it is already a pretty good result."

"This time, it was truly dangerous."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other with lingering fear. Facing a true Overlord-class beast, even though the dozen of them were the elite of the elite, the fight was extremely difficult, almost everyone was injured, and they nearly suffered casualties.

Tan Yi suddenly changed her expression and looked upward: "I don't know how Zhang Fan and the situation at the base above are."

As she said this, everyone's expressions tightened as well.

The key to this underground operation proceeding relatively smoothly was that not a single King-level Ferocious Beast broke through the perimeter to interfere with the battle or become "supplements" for that Overlord.

If Zhang Fan's perimeter had fallen, allowing that Overlord-class beast to devour a few King-level beasts to recover or even increase its strength, then their operation this time would likely have been in trouble.

"It's been very quiet above, there are no distress signals, they should have held it."

"Then Zhang Fan... seems truly reliable."

Just then, a warrior's wrist instrument lit up. He looked down and said quickly: "Battle report from above!"

"The report states: Commander Zhang Fan, on the outskirts of the base, single-handedly routed the summoned King-level beast tide, totaling thirteen! Our side... zero casualties! The battle ended in three minutes!"

"How many? Thirteen?" Someone thought they had misheard.

"Are you sure it's thirteen King-level? Not thirteen Soldier-level?" Another person also had a face full of absurdity.

"The battle report is confirmed correct. It is thirteen King-level, and according to the description, these ferocious beasts were suspected to be organized into a battle formation, possessing a certain level of tactical coordination."

Everyone looked at each other.

This combat record is a bit too luxurious, right? Even they, elites who deal with high-level ferocious beasts year-round, found it incredible.
