122: Chapter 122 The Brutal Frontline, Lin Yuan Steps In at a Moment of Crisis

After Lin Yuan left the office, Mu Qianqian called Hua Hongfeng.

When Hua Hongfeng heard that it was Lin Yuan who had ascended to the tenth floor, he showed an expression of 'just as expected.'

Originally, Hua Hongfeng intended to send people to protect Lin Yuan's safety, but Mu Qianqian refused, revealing Lin Yuan's actual strength. When Hua Hongfeng and Martial God Su Yuntian learned that Lin Yuan could fight Great Sect level experts, they both looked incredulous.

The world knew that anyone who ascended to the tenth floor of the Martial God Tower was a disciple of Saint Su, so other Martial God powerhouses would not directly intervene.

As for others, Lin Yuan should be able to handle them; it could also be considered training for him.

...

Lin Yuan went home to visit his parents and sister. His family knew he was preparing to go to the military department. Although they worried about his safety, they respected his choice.

After spending two days with his family, Lin Yuan found Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian had originally planned to hold a special graduation ceremony for Lin Yuan, but he refused; he didn't want things to be so complicated.

He also didn't tell others about leaving the academy. Telling them would inevitably affect their state of mind, especially Tang Wanrou and Liu Ningfei; it would be better for him to stay away from them as much as possible.

After a brief farewell to Mu Qianqian, he set off for the military department under her reluctant gaze.

Next, he would step onto the battlefield and start his extreme leveling mode...

Before setting off, Lin Yuan had already made plans. He was going to the Southern Theater Command because there were more fierce beasts there...

His target area was Cloud City, which was currently suffering a severe beast tide impact.

The military department urgently needed martial artists to replenish losses and was recruiting heavily. Lin Yuan planned to go directly to Cloud City to sign up for the army.

...

When Lin Yuan arrived in Cloud City, it was already around two in the afternoon. He did not rest and headed straight for Cloud City's Fissure Number Three.

That was where the Southern Theater Command was stationed, and also where the beast tide was rampant.

All residents of Cloud City had been evacuated; only fierce beasts and military personnel remained here.

When he was still about ten kilometers away from Fissure Number Three, Lin Yuan noticed that the surrounding city was filled with ruins and collapsed houses everywhere.

Some solid buildings still bore the marks of attacks from fierce beast claws.

Dried blood was visible everywhere, along with scattered corpses of humans and fierce beasts; the scene was extremely tragic.

"This is just the sight ten kilometers away, and it's already this brutal. I can't imagine what the area near the fissure has been ravaged into by the fierce beasts..."

Lin Yuan quickened his pace while absorbing the soul bodies that had not yet dissipated around him.

When Lin Yuan was still five kilometers from Fissure Number Three, he encountered a team of about thirty people. They were fully armed, their expressions solemn, marching rapidly.

They were clearly well-trained soldiers. Judging by the aura they emitted, they all possessed the strength of Second-Tier Martial Artists.

"Little Brother, why are you appearing here alone? It's very dangerous here. You should hurry to the nearby shelter," said a man who looked like a captain, stopping his steps.

"Hello, Captain. I'm here to enlist and am heading to the military station to sign up," Lin Yuan stated truthfully.

"You're enlisting so young? Kid, you've got spirit! Here's what—you go to the shelter one kilometer away first. I'll find you after I finish my mission and take you to sign up," the captain patted Lin Yuan's shoulder hurriedly.

"Okay!" Lin Yuan knew the other party was in a hurry and didn't say much.

The captain nodded at him upon hearing this and immediately chased after his team, leaving quickly.

Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't go to any shelter. He exerted a slight force with his feet and easily kept up with the squad of soldiers.

This squad was likely on a mission to eliminate fierce beasts, and he decided to follow along to see.

Indeed, after rushing for more than ten minutes, Lin Yuan saw more than a dozen fierce beasts rampaging in the city.

These fierce beasts were all Second-Tier, and there were even a few Third-Tier fierce beasts hidden among them.

"It's a good thing I followed. This group of fierce beasts won't be easy to deal with," Lin Yuan muttered to himself while following behind.

Soon, the team engaged the fierce beasts. The team had a numerical advantage, more than double the number of fierce beasts, but their strength was significantly inferior, with more than half being early Second-Tier Martial Artists.

However, when the real fight broke out, the soldiers coordinated extremely well and had very rich combat experience. They quickly gained the upper hand, completely suppressing the Second-Tier fierce beasts.

Truly worthy of being soldiers of Great Xia; their strength was far superior to ordinary martial artists after being tested by blood and fire.

Roar!!

A wolf-shaped Third-Tier fierce beast discovered the danger here and immediately charged over.

Under the captain's command, four soldiers were immediately assigned to face that Third-Tier fierce beast.

Under the siege of the four soldiers, that Third-Tier fierce beast was actually forced into retreat, appearing unable to hold on.

Just as the soldiers were steadily killing the fierce beast, a change occurred.

The Third-Tier fierce beast forced the four back with one claw, then raised its head and roared.

"Not good! It's calling its companions! Brothers, hurry up! Once we finish cleaning up, we'll retreat quickly!" the captain immediately warned.

"Yes!"

"Go all out and kill it!"

The captain roared, charging forward fiercely towards the wolf-shaped Third-Tier fierce beast.

But the next moment...

Awooo!! Awooo!! Awooo!!!

Three wolf howls echoed from the surroundings, and three Third-Tier fierce beasts charged over rapidly.

"These beasts arrived so quickly! Retreat quickly!" the captain ordered, and all the soldiers retreated neatly.

However, these four Third-Tier fierce beasts had no intention of letting the group go. They immediately utilized their speed advantage and blocked the soldiers in the middle from four directions.

Second-Tier fierce beasts roamed around to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Captain, what do we do? We're surrounded by these beasts."

"Don't panic, defend with all your might! I'll fire a signal flare for reinforcements. Just hold on!" the captain immediately made a decision.

With the signal gun in hand, the captain immediately fired a signal flare into the sky.

The crimson signal flare soared up, and its intense light immediately enraged the surrounding fierce beasts, which instantly pounced.

"Brothers, let's fight to the death! Even if we die here, we'll be brothers in the next life!"

The thirty-plus men stood back-to-back, holding steel blades and constantly slashing out, while various special abilities exploded around them.

But with the attack of the four Third-Tier fierce beasts, most of the soldiers were sent flying and vomiting blood with just one strike. Although they were still standing with gritted teeth, they clearly no longer had the ability to fight.

"Captain, we can't hold on! My arm is broken."

"Mine too, Captain. Are we going to die here today?"

"No, hold on everyone! Rescue is coming!"

Although the captain encouraged everyone like this, everyone knew in their hearts that the hope was slim...

The four fierce beasts looked on mockingly, clearly playing with them, but they didn't expect these people seemed unable to withstand the teasing.

Roar!!

A fierce beast let out a roar, and the eyes of all the fierce beasts sharpened. It was obvious these beasts had lost their patience and were about to launch their real attack.

"Brothers! One last fight! If we die, we'll be brothers in the next life!"

The captain roared, and everyone raised their long blades, preparing for a final desperate counterattack.

Roar!!

The four fierce beasts suddenly charged from four directions; they intended to tear apart all the humans before them.

At this critical moment...

A young, almost immature figure suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. He wore a faint smile on his lips and extended a single finger, lightly drawing a line in the air.

Instantly, a dazzling silver light flashed, and all the fierce beasts on the scene seemed to have pressed the pause button, freezing motionless.

In the next second, a blood-red line appeared simultaneously on the bodies of all the fierce beasts. Then, blood erupted like a fountain, and a rain of blood instantly fell from the sky.

After that, half of the fierce beasts' bodies slid off along the blood line. In that instant, the scene resembled a large slaughterhouse, with a stench of blood soaring to the heavens.

The thirty-plus soldiers stared blankly at the young man before them, unable to speak for a moment...
