216: Each showing his magical powers

A strong scent of blood permeated the air.

In Shen Bei’s line of sight, the strange birds in the sky continuously circled and dived over the entire territory, avoiding the erratically shooting Patrol Bureau officers, and focusing their attacks entirely on the civilians who were fleeing like headless chickens.

In a mere blink of an eye, over a dozen civilians were snatched away, like an eagle catching chicks.

These strange birds were spread out, their movements fierce, and they came and went like the wind.

Coupled with their air-to-ground advantage, the pistols in the officers’ hands were mostly futile.

Aside from a few unlucky birds that were targeted and shot down, their numbers were not significantly reduced.

At the same time, several armed helicopters appeared in the county town’s sky, joining the battlefield.

The chain guns mounted on both sides of the armed helicopters’ cabin doors gleamed coldly, and the Hellfire missiles on the missile racks were poised for launch.

In an instant, the chain guns roared, and a torrent of hot metal projectiles poured out like a furious storm, heading straight for the Winged Claw Stone Vultures.

However, the Winged Claw Stone Vultures did not flinch from this fierce attack.

Instead, relying on their flexible aerial maneuverability, they counter-attacked the helicopters with the force of a collapsing mountain, their giant, blade-sharp claws tearing through the air, aiming directly for the helicopters’ rotors.

At that moment, as if time stood still, the Stone Vulture’s sharp claws collided with the rapidly spinning blades, creating sparks from the impact of metal and stony scales, like falling stars.

With a loud ‘crack,’ the Stone Vulture actually tore off a rotor blade, and the helicopter instantly lost balance, trembling and struggling in the air.

Emitting black smoke, it crashed to the ground, causing a huge explosion and a towering blaze.

“Damn it!”

Qi Chuanyu’s eyes were bloodshot, and upon seeing this scene, he could no longer hold himself back.

He lunged forward, his figure as swift as a leopard, darting through the crowd like lightning. Just then, a strange bird had swooped down in front of him and snatched a civilian.

However, before the strange bird, chirping excitedly, could flap its wings and ascend, Qi Chuanyu’s figure had already pounced.

He bit his finger, and a stream of blood spurted out, forming a writhing blood whip.

The blood whip in his hand, in a split second, wrapped around the strange bird’s talons, instantly pulling it down from mid-air!

“Caw! Caw!”

Suddenly ensnared by its talons, the strange bird flapped its wings violently, the air whistling, stirring up flying sand and stones.

However, Qi Chuanyu, the instigator, stood rooted to the ground, unmoving, his face filled with a vicious expression:

“Beast, get down here!”

Boom!

Qi Chuanyu’s blood whip, like a steel cable, pulled back as he twisted his waist and bent his body, his muscles and bones crackling, a tremendous force erupting from his arms.

The strange bird, flapping its wings and struggling desperately like a calf, was violently slammed against a nearby mud wall by Qi Chuanyu’s fierce whip, directly collapsing it!

With a swing of his arms, the calf-sized Winged Claw Stone Vulture was unable to resist in the slightest, crashing through the mud wall like a cannonball.

Liao Zhongyang exclaimed, “This guy’s fired up!”

As soon as the strange bird fell and was still struggling, the officers around Qi Chuanyu immediately opened fire, riddling the bird with bullets from close range. It twitched frantically a few times before falling still.

Qi Chuanyu, meanwhile, continued to move through the crowd, his blood whip in hand like a venomous snake, waiting for an opportunity. His strikes almost never missed, and in just a few minutes, he found opportunities to take down two more strange birds, displaying extreme ferocity.

A rare sight, indeed.

This morning, Qi Chuanyu had complained to Shen Bei about being dragged along to defend the underground cave, feeling a bit resentful.

Well, now it’s all good.

Seeing the people of his hometown being ravaged by the Vicious Beasts from the underground cave, his sense of justice exploded instantly, blood surged, and his eyes were filled with Killing Intent.

At this moment, Jian Tong was also not idle.

Faintly, electric light could be seen flickering among her hair strands.

She raised her delicate white hand.

An invisible energy quietly surged in her palm, like the spark of Chaos igniting at the beginning of the Universe.

Streams of blue light intertwined like threads, leaping and weaving between her fingertips.

The beam of light grew brighter and brighter, like a galaxy formed by countless stars pouring down, rapidly solidifying into a tangible entity, transforming into a dazzling electric spear!

Cracking electric arcs flowed along its edges, its form resembling both a spear and a sword, over two meters long, with a sharp, exposed tip.

Every slight tremor was accompanied by the blossoming of tiny electric sparks.

Jian Tong raised the electric spear.

As the strange bird swooped down to hunt, exposing an opening, she fiercely swung her arm, and the electric spear pierced the air like lightning, directly impaling a diving strange bird with a piercing shriek!

At the same time.

Martial Artists from other cities and counties were also looking for opportunities to kill the Winged Claw Stone Vultures.

One burly man, wielding an exaggerated saw over a meter long, leaped rapidly across the rooftops of various low-rise buildings like an ape.

Whenever a strange bird swooped down nearby, he would stomp his foot fiercely, leap out, and accurately and ferociously strike the strange bird’s wing with his large saw, severing its wing at the root as if cutting tofu, displaying a brutal ferocity!

Another Martial Artist’s posture was even more unrestrained.

He was almost naked from the waist up, with two crossed axes tattooed on his chest.

A cigar hung from his mouth.

He wielded two sharp short axes, each with a long chain trailing from its handle, and ran wildly like a mad Vicious Beast, charging towards a Winged Claw Stone Vulture that was swooping down at him. A large cloud of dust even billowed up in his wake, showing the ferocity of his momentum!

Whoosh!

With a sinister laugh, the tattooed man let go of a short axe, its blade fiercely cutting through the air. Infused with savage brute force, the short axe, like lightning, plunged into the chest and abdomen of the pouncing Winged Claw Stone Vulture and emerged from its back, actually disemboweling it, piercing straight through its body!

“Caw!”

The Winged Claw Stone Vulture suddenly fell with a mournful shriek a few meters in front of the tattooed man, its wings flapping desperately, its sharp talons digging deep marks into the ground.

The tattooed man, however, let out a wild laugh, gripped the chain, and with a single pull of his arm, the calf-sized Winged Claw Stone Vulture, hooked by the axe that had pierced its body, was dragged over like a rag doll.

Pfft!

The man swung his axe horizontally, and with immense force, he directly dismembered the struggling Winged Claw Stone Vulture with a single blow, its organs spilling onto the ground, and its foul-smelling blood splattering on his face. He ferociously wiped his face, took a puff from his cigar, exhaled smoke, and let out an excited roar towards the sky:

“Hahahahaha, come on! You feathered beasts, let me kill to my heart’s content!”

Shen Bei took a deep breath.

The Martial Artists who came to defend our home this time are true Martial Artists!

Each of them has some tricks up their sleeves.

Shen Bei shook himself, ready to get to work!

At this moment, Shen Bei was alone.

Qi Chuanyu was still wielding his blood whip, hooking strange birds.

Jian Tong, meanwhile, had jumped onto a rooftop, and electric spears flew from her raised hands.

Liao Zhongyang’s task was relatively simple; Shen Bei forbade him from using any attacks, keeping him in a Martial Skill charging state.

He could only follow behind, collecting strange bird corpses and marking them with the Zha Tian Gang’s tag.

These could all be sold for money.

Under Shen Bei’s influence, all members of the Zha Tian Gang were little money-grubbers.

The kind who wouldn’t even hand a penny they found over to the police uncle.

“Caw—!”

A clear cry echoed through the sky, seemingly a signal to hurry.

At this point, the number of Winged Claw Stone Vultures in the air had been reduced by almost half. Among them, besides the Winged Claw Stone Vultures tearing at their prey in their talons in mid-air, there were also a few that seemed to have not yet caught their prey, still anxiously and unwillingly crying out and circling in mid-air, looking for an opportunity.

And now, Shen Bei, leisurely walking onto the main road, immediately became the target of several Winged Claw Stone Vultures!

“Caw!”

Amidst sharp cries, four Winged Claw Stone Vultures, stimulated by the scent of blood in the air, could no longer hold back. They shrieked excitedly, spread their wings, each four meters wide, and extended their hook-like talons, fiercely pouncing down on Shen Bei in the open area!

“You beasts, you all deserve to die.”

A fierce wind blew. Facing the Winged Claw Stone Vultures attacking from different directions, Shen Bei on the ground slowly raised his head, a cruel smile on his sinister face:

“Because… you smashed my home!”

Bang!

Shen Bei stomped his foot fiercely, and with the eruption of immense power, the earthen ground beneath him exploded, his figure disappearing from its original spot amidst flying earth and stones!

The nearby officers only saw Shen Bei disappear from his spot, but other Martial Artists in the distance clearly saw that Shen Bei himself actually shot up into the sky like a cannonball, leaping over ten meters high, and in a blink of an eye, he had leaped beneath the first strange bird that swooped down!

Immediately after, everyone saw that, in a split second, Shen Bei, who had leaped over ten meters into the air, swiftly extended his hands like lightning, instantly grasping the strange bird’s outstretched talons, and at the same time, he let out a wild laugh and tore with his arms!

Rip!

It was as if he wasn’t tearing a flesh-and-blood body, but a thin piece of paper. The calf-sized body of the Winged Claw Stone Vulture was directly torn in half, blood and internal organs exploding in mid-air, scattering down with the wind!

Boom!

Amidst the tremor, Shen Bei, holding two halves of the corpse, landed steadily on the roof of a low building. The other three Winged Claw Stone Vultures, swooping down from different directions, hadn’t even had time to react and change course when they saw Shen Bei bend down, step forward, and release the two corpse halves from his hands, violently flinging them out like hidden weapons!

Bang bang!

The next instant, it was unknown how much power Shen Bei’s throw contained, but the two mutilated corpses, carrying a sharp whistling sound, accurately and unerringly slammed into the other two Winged Claw Stone Vultures, still over ten meters above the ground, immediately breaking their wings and sending them plummeting to the ground, as if they had been struck by a speeding car!

The two Winged Claw Stone Vultures let out mournful shrieks, struggling wildly on the ground. However, Shen Bei didn’t spare them a glance. He looked up at the last Winged Claw Stone Vulture frantically flapping its wings and trying to ascend into the air ten meters away. With a flick of his finger, a dozen Shadow Needless shot out, emitting piercing screams through the air!

Puff puff puff!

The Shadow Needless pierced the last Winged Claw Stone Vulture, its wings immediately severely damaged by the flying Shadow Needless. The Winged Claw Stone Vulture let out a tragic cry, wobbled, and fell to the ground, also struggling desperately.

At this point, all four Winged Claw Stone Vultures that had attacked Shen Bei were shot down, taking no more than ten seconds.

In a few seconds, Shen Bei effortlessly shot down four Winged Claw Stone Vultures, showcasing his superhuman strength and brutal combat skills to the fullest!

...

The battle did not last long.

This group of strange birds was all eliminated under the combined assault of Martial Artists’ various Martial Skills and armed helicopters.

The county town suffered significant losses, with many houses collapsed and fires breaking out everywhere.

Therefore, no fewer than a hundred civilians died.

However, the Martial Artists had no time for sorrow or lingering. After receiving new orders, they collectively returned to the North Mountain Town Line.

...

North Mountain Town Line.

An unprecedented decisive battle was brewing!
