93: Chapter 93 The God Emerging from the Sea of ​​Thunder

The moment the city wall collapsed, Liu Jianguo's heart collapsed with it.

"Boom—!"

Gravel flew, and dust filled the sky.

That section of the wall he had guarded for years was as fragile as tofu under the palm of that Mountain-Hugging Demon Ape.

As the dust dispersed, a huge breach was revealed in the city wall.

The giant ape, over a hundred meters tall, stood at the breach but did not continue to advance.

It was too arrogant.

Confident in its status as a Beast King, it disdained to participate in this level of slaughter.

"Roar—"

It roared at the sky, then slowly retreated a few steps and found an open space to sit down.

Its eyes, burning with dark red flames, watched this scene coldly.

As if it were enjoying it.

Enjoying how humans were being systematically devoured by its kind.

Without the suppression of the Beast King, the beast horde went completely mad.

Third-order, fourth-order, and those countless, dense swarms of Second-Order Fierce Beasts.

They roared, surging into the city district like a tide.

"Run!"

"Run quickly!"

Cries, screams, and calls for help blended into one.

In the distance, those civilians who hadn't managed to evacuate were instantly swallowed by the beast tide.

A mother holding her child was running desperately when she was pounced on by an Iron-Backed Wolf.

An old man with slow legs was surrounded by three or four fierce beasts.

Several children stood by the roadside, staring blankly at everything, too terrified to even cry.

Liu Jianguo stood on the ruins, watching all of this.

His whole body was trembling violently.

Beside him, Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to comfort him, but the words wouldn't come out.

Because...

It really was because of Liu Jianguo's impulsive order that led to the current situation.

Originally, the beast horde had already retreated; if they had just waited for reinforcements to arrive, the crisis in Jiangcheng could have been resolved.

But Liu Jianguo insisted on a full-scale counterattack, pointlessly sacrificing hundreds of elites, which caused this irreversible situation.

"Captain Liu."

Zhou Zhiyuan spoke, his voice heavy.

"Now is not the time for self-reproach."

"We must organize the remaining troops..."

However, Liu Jianguo shook his head.

"It's useless."

He looked at the scene of hell on earth below.

"The defensive line has already collapsed."

"The fierce beasts have already entered the city."

"The casualties... are too high."

He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute.

"Captain Zhou."

He looked at Zhou Zhiyuan.

"I'm sorry."

"Dying for my country is my honor."

He paused, then added.

"If there is still a chance..."

"Please take care of my family for me."

Zhou Zhiyuan was stunned.

"You..."

He wanted to say something, but Liu Jianguo had already turned and leaped off the city wall.

"Liu Jianguo!"

"What are you doing?!"

Zhou Zhiyuan exclaimed.

However, Liu Jianguo had already charged into the beast horde below.

"No—"

"Help!"

"Mom—"

"My child—my child—"

The streets were in complete chaos.

The fierce beasts were rampaging through the crowd, slaughtering wantonly.

Flesh and blood flew, and wails echoed everywhere.

An aura of despair shrouded the entire city.

"Ah—!!!"

Watching this scene before him, Liu Jianguo roared to the sky, and after cutting a Second-Order Fierce Beast, an Iron-Backed Wolf, into two, he charged straight into the beast horde.

"Come on—"

A roar erupted from his throat.

"You beasts—"

"Come and kill me—"

The fierce beasts all turned toward him.

"Roar—"

"Hiss—"

Countless fierce beasts pounced on him.

However, Liu Jianguo was completely unafraid.

"Kill—"

He charged into the beast horde, hacking and slashing madly.

One slash.

Two beasts fell.

Two slashes.

Three beasts fell.

Three slashes.

Five beasts fell.

His body was already covered in the blood of the fierce beasts.

Some were the beasts', and some were his own.

"Hahaha—"

He appeared crazed.

"Come on—"

"Keep coming—"

"I'm going to die here today—"

"To be able to take so many beasts with me to the grave—"

"It's worth it—"

However, there were simply too many fierce beasts.

And they were pouring in endlessly from the breach in the city wall.

In just a moment, Liu Jianguo was covered in wounds.

Blood stained his military uniform red.

"Urgh—"

The claws of a third-order Shadow Leopard slashed across his chest.

Instantly, blood gushed out.

He groaned and fell to one knee.

"Hahaha..."

But he laughed.

"Once I'm dead..."

"I can atone for my sins..."

He struggled to stand up.

"Keep coming—"

"Come on—"

However, just at this moment.

"Roar—"

Three huge figures appeared at the end of the street.

They were three Rock Beasts, fourth-order late-stage lord-level fierce beasts!

Each one was over ten meters tall, their bodies covered in hard rock scales.

They were like three tanks, advancing slowly but unstoppably.

Wherever they passed, houses collapsed.

The crowd fled in all directions.

But soon, there was nowhere to run.

"It's over..."

Liu Jianguo looked at the three Rock Beasts, took a deep breath, and gripped his blade tightly.

"That's fine."

"Let's die together."

He dragged his wounded body, walking step by step toward the three Rock Beasts, leaving a bloody footprint on the ground with every step.

"Beasts."

"Come."

"Kill me."

The three Rock Beasts stopped in their tracks.

They looked at Liu Jianguo, as if scrutinizing their prey.

Then, the leader let out a low roar.

"Roar—"

It slowly approached.

Clearly, for this level of prey, it was in no rush to kill.

It wanted to enjoy the pleasure of the hunt.

Liu Jianguo smiled.

His smile carried a sense of relief.

"That's fine."

"Let me kill a few more..."

He raised his blade.

"Beasts."

"Come on—"

The Rock Beast leaped up suddenly.

Its thick arm, carrying crushing force, smashed fiercely toward Liu Jianguo.

This blow was enough to smash him into meat paste.

Liu Jianguo did not dodge.

Because he was already at the end of his rope.

And...

He hadn't intended to live anyway.

"Goodbye..."

He said softly.

Then, he closed his eyes.

However, the next second!

"Clang—"

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

The expected pain did not come.

Liu Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes.

Then, he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

A figure stood before him.

It was a youth.

Looking about eighteen or nineteen years old.

He held a long blade, his body wreathed in golden lightning, just like a deity walking out of the sea of thunder.

And that Rock Beast, which had been so menacing just a moment ago, was now sent flying backward, smashing heavily into the ruins of a house a dozen meters away.

"You..."

Liu Jianguo opened his mouth.

The person did not turn around, only speaking indifferently:

"Go command your soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel!"
