231: The flag-planting battle that shocked everyone

One person's inexplicable retreat led to a one-sided chase on the earth's surface battlefield.

Yu Qi and Chen Guoan were still puzzled, as the Otherworlder army clearly had the advantage at this time.

They were constantly pushing the front line towards Changtu County.

In the eyes of the Otherworlders, Changtu County was an ideal city.

Once occupied, it would definitely be a stable front-line position.

But as they fought, the Otherworlders retreated!

When the human Martial Artists charged into the underground lair, everyone was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Especially when they saw the Zha Tian Gang battle flag of Changtu County planted on the easily defensible hill.

And even more so when they learned that the Zha Tian Gang only had four people.

The previously noisy army of human Martial Artists all had expressions of disbelief and horror on their faces!

For a moment, even the air seemed to congeal.

Because everyone saw that there were more than two hundred Otherworlder corpses scattered haphazardly on the hill!

Which meant… the Zha Tian Gang of Changtu County not only broke through into the underground lair but also charged up the hill and killed a large number of Otherworlders!

Hissing sounds constantly rang out.

That was the sound of everyone gasping in cold air.

To put it bluntly, if human Martial Artists were to take this hill, they would at least need an equal number of people!

But… why…

Why could four people plant the battle flag there?

If you say the Otherworlders are all weak, then don't joke around.

The ground battlefield was suppressed by the Otherworlders to the point where they couldn't lift their heads!

Yu Qi's expression was stiff, blank, and strange, then it changed, and he exclaimed, "Advance! Quick!"

As the order was given, the human Martial Artists began to charge up the hill.

Everyone knew that there might still be living Otherworlders on the hill.

If rescue wasn't timely at this moment, Shen Bei and the others might be exhausted to death!

Rumble...

The Martial Artists rushed towards the hill.

Along the way, everywhere they looked were Otherworlder corpses lying askew.

Some were hacked to death with sabers, like minced mud.

Some were killed by lightning, their bodies charred black, and even their torsos twisted from the electric current's stimulation.

Others had their heads smashed in by fists.

On the hill, the unscattered blood mist still floated.

The entire hill was like a gruesome killing ground that made one's scalp tingle!

When Yu Qi charged at the front line and reached the foot of the hill, his expression was once again shocked.

"This... a Sixth Rank Otherworlder!"

Yu Qi's shout filled the eyes of those around him with infinite terror!

A Sixth Rank Otherworlder!

Is the Rank high?

In Yu Qi's eyes, it wasn't that high.

But for the Zha Tian Gang, it was an insurmountable existence, an existence that the four of them could not contend with or shake!

And yet... he just... died?

"What Rank Martial Artist is Shen Bei now?" Chen Guoan asked in disbelief.

Yu Qiuyi's face showed a terrifying expression, but her eyes revealed a strange solemnity and calmness: "He, he should be at most Fourth Rank! And Qi Chuanyu, Liao Zhongyang, and Jian Tong are all Third Rank!"

Boom!!!!

Upon hearing this news, the human Martial Artists once again erupted with shocking expressions, doubting their lives.

Instantly.

A large number of exclamations and disbelieving voices rang out in the crowd:

"What? The highest is only Fourth Rank?"

"Holy cow! Is that even human? If a Fourth Rank can defeat a Fifth Rank Otherworlder and not be beaten half to death by Otherworlders, I'd say he's amazing, but now... don't tell me Shen Bei killed a Sixth Rank Otherworlder!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Whether theoretically or in actual combat, this is something that cannot be done!"

"Who else could it be if not them? Could someone have helped? Our people didn't even go down into the underground lair!"

"That's too damn terrifying!"

"Shen Bei? Is that the king of champions, the Three-Rank Invincible King, Shen Bei? He really breaks all imagination!"

"Young and accomplished!"

"I can't wait, I'm going to rush up and ask Shen Bei how he did it! Charge!"

...

Regardless of whether the human Martial Artists believed the facts before them.

The Sixth Rank Otherworlder lay dead on the spot.

A large hole was torn in his chest, and his heart was gone.

Yu Qi touched the bone fragments on the Alien Leader's chest: "He was also a Leader, probably an Otherworlder stationed in the rear. The kill was very clean. After breaking through his defense, his heart was directly severed. The battle probably didn't last more than five seconds."

Even Chen Guoan, an Eighth Rank Martial Warrior, couldn't remain calm.

It's important to know that Otherworlders are naturally more adapted to Martial Skill than humans.

It could be said that even between humans and Otherworlders of the same Rank, there would be about a 10% difference in strength.

Not to mention, Sixth Rank suppressed Shen Bei's Fourth Rank by two full Ranks!

How was it done?

He really couldn't figure it out!

This was like a rooster actually taking down an eagle!

Chen Guoan shivered and followed the crowd towards the peak.

On the hillside.

There were even more Otherworlder corpses.

One could imagine how much blood and sweat Shen Bei and the others had to pay to charge up and plant the flag!

Even in the grass, there were minced meat and blood everywhere, making the ground slippery, causing people to accidentally slip and fall.

Yu Qi was the first to rush to the top of the hill.

At first glance.

His face changed several times, and shock, Evil Qi, and Killing Intent uncontrollably emanated from his eyes.

Because...

At the top of the hill at this moment.

The battle flag fluttered, rustling loudly.

And beneath the battle flag, Qi Chuanyu had already fainted on the ground.

His body was covered in saber marks and cuts.

But his hands still tightly gripped the flagpole, not allowing it to fall.

And Liao Zhongyang was even more tragic.

His body was riddled with arrows, like a porcupine, each arrow piercing a bleeding hole, and even the blood had already dried.

But his hand still tightly clutched an Otherworlder corpse, not letting go, as if he had directly fainted after expending his last bit of Qi.

Jian Tong was also extremely defeated; her original yellow combat uniform had been dyed crimson, and she lay motionless on the ground.

The only one still standing was Shen Bei!

But Shen Bei's posture was even more tragic.

The various wounds all over his body were more numerous than those of the other three combined!

His entire body was covered in a thick layer of blood plasma!

And at this moment, Shen Bei was not resting.

Instead, he was still fighting the last living Fourth Rank Otherworlder!

No.

It could no longer be called a battle.

It was a contest of who could take more punches!

Anyone could see that the Otherworlder no longer had original power, and Shen Bei, due to prolonged combat, also had no True Qi.

They were both utterly exhausted.

Martial Skill could not be fully unleashed; they could only use their fists to smash each other's faces.

Shen Bei grabbed the Otherworlder's hair and swung his fist to smash the enemy's face.

And the enemy grabbed Shen Bei's collar, similarly smashing Shen Bei's cheekbones.

"Die..." Shen Bei swayed, his voice extremely weak.

"Kuri Meng Cha..." The Otherworlder was no better off; he didn't even have the strength to speak.

The two just pushed and punched each other like this.

The force in those punches was no different from an ordinary person's fight, perhaps even a bit weaker.

All the Martial Artists who reached the summit broke down in tears after seeing this scene.

This... what kind of tenacious will is this!

Not only did he kill the Alien Leader, but he also personally slew so many individuals, and finally planted the battle flag on the summit.

Even at the last moment, Shen Bei, whose body was severely overdrawn and should have fainted, was still fighting the Otherworlder to the death!

Shock, astonishment, awe, reverence, worship!

Although Shen Bei and the Otherworlder's final struggle was just simple, mechanical punching.

The force of these punches had almost no lethality; it was purely Shen Bei's instinct and an unyielding will!

To put it bluntly.

If any of the people present were in Shen Bei's position, they would have given up.

Let alone continuing to fight to the death, they wouldn't even be able to stand!

And Shen Bei, to protect the fluttering battle flag, was still fighting!

This spirit... has surpassed the limits of their imagination.

For a moment, everyone looked up at Shen Bei's figure on the summit.

He instantly became infinitely tall, as if he were the backbone supporting this piece of heaven and earth's surface!

tall, magnificent, and inspiring reverence!

The visual impact was simply too powerful!

Some Martial Artists choked back a sob: "This guy..."

"This can no longer be described as fierce; Shen Bei's will is like steel!"

"It's too shocking!"

"This is a Martial Artist, this is a true Martial Artist!"

"Unyielding, to the last moment of death!"

"I admit, I've been taught a lesson."

...

Let alone the other Martial Artists.

Even Yu Qi and Chen Guoan were deeply moved.

Regardless of his Rank as a Martial Artist, Shen Bei's tenacious will and mindset in combat alone absolutely surpassed everyone present!

Human worship is almost always the same.

It either stems from admiration for strength.

Or it is reverence for spirit!

And Shen Bei's will had already conquered everyone present!

Some people might look down on Shen Bei's strength.

But they would absolutely not look down on Shen Bei's fighting will!

Just as everyone was about to climb up, kill this Otherworlder, and rescue Shen Bei.

Shen Bei might have truly been unable to hold on; he almost lost his balance and fell, then he roared, squeezing out the last bit of Qi from his entire body.

He didn't know what kind of madness possessed him.

He suddenly opened his mouth wide.

And bit the Otherworlder's throat!

"Ah!!!!"

Shen Bei was like a wild wolf from the wilderness.

A mouthful of blood-red teeth, like giant pliers, crunched down, fiercely biting and pressing the Otherworlder's throat.

The Otherworlder cried out in pain, his arm hammering down on Shen Bei's head: "Kuri Meng Cha! Kuri Meng—"

Rip...

Shen Bei forcefully shook his head, and the Otherworlder's throat was bitten clean off by Shen Bei!

Instantly, blood spurted like a fountain, splattering all over Shen Bei's face, making him look even more ferocious.

Thud...

The Otherworlder didn't even have time to let out a cry of agony before he died, collapsing to the ground.

Shen Bei hunched over, his arms hanging naturally, like willow branches.

He slowly turned his body.

Crimson blood Qi emanated from his entire body, making him look like a demon that had climbed out of a pool of blood as he stood high up!

In Shen Bei's vision, there were shadowy figures in front of him.

He couldn't see clearly.

He couldn't see who they were at all.

His eyes were already blood-red.

But Shen Bei still grinned ferociously, his legs bent, his upper body slightly leaning back, his arms spread wide, and a domineering, heaven-shaking laugh rolled out: "As long as I'm here, the flag is here! I can still fight!"

As he spoke.

Shen Bei exhaled a steaming blood mist from his mouth.

He reached back and grabbed.

A syringe of Super-Modified Adrenaline was pulled out.

In Shen Bei's mind, the blurry figures in front of him should be Otherworlders.

Then the human Martial Artists wouldn't be far away.

Just hold on a little longer.

One injection, and holding on a little longer meant victory!

Shen Bei didn't hesitate; he was about to inject himself.

Whoosh...

A gust of wind swept past his ear, and the syringe in Shen Bei's hand instantly disappeared.

"You're courting death!"

Shen Bei aimed at the figure beside him and swung his fist.

"Calm down." Yu Qi gently caught the punch: "I am Yu Qi. It's over. Relax, relax. Yes, relax slowly. Don't suddenly let your guard down. Good. Sit down."

After Shen Bei heard Yu Qi's voice.

He was at the peak of tension and was about to completely relax.

But listening to Yu Qi's guidance, he slowly controlled his heart rate and gradually calmed down.

Yu Qi nodded in satisfaction.

It's important to know that instantly returning to calmness from an excited state is like glass falling from a great height, bound to shatter.

It could very likely lead to post-war trauma and psychological problems.

Yu Qi took out a tissue and wiped Shen Bei's eyes: "Very good. Your performance has conquered all of us. Watch the scene for a while and calm your mind."

Shen Bei looked at the surrounding Martial Artists in a daze, his Killing Intent gradually dissipating.

"Everyone, clean up the battlefield, set up defenses, and establish a camp."

Chen Guoan was directing from the side.

Yu Qi then called a few subordinates: "Carry Shen Bei and the others into the tent to rest, and give them plenty of Medicinal Pills."

Shen Bei weakly said, "Don't touch my battle flag!"

Yu Qi smiled and nodded: "Alright, alright, it will stay planted here forever."
