53: One is worth a thousand, crush them all!

As if to confirm everyone's thoughts, the Vicious Beasts suddenly changed their strategy.

The previously scattered beast tide began to organize an encirclement; a dozen giant shelled monsters formed a shield wall at the front, while the venomous insect-type Vicious Beasts in the rear began to gather power to spray acid.

Zhang Shan's gaze darkened.

This was a standard encirclement formation.

Once unable to break through quickly, they would be trapped by the vast number of Vicious Beasts until their Qi was exhausted…

“Boom!”

A muffled thud from below suddenly pulled his thoughts back.

Su Lei had, at some unknown point, turned into a blur and charged into the beast horde.

A giant unicorn Vicious Beast suddenly flew backward over ten meters, its dark, shiny shell shattering into countless pieces in the air.

Immediately after, he spun around with a roundhouse kick, his right leg tracing a perfect crescent arc.

Three crayfish Vicious Beasts pouncing from the left exploded into several sections, green fluid splattering everywhere.

The next second, two half-human, half-insect monsters charging from the front were flung into the air, their heads, covered in sharp barbs, forcibly torn off.

Then, his right knee descended like a battle-axe, pinning a ten-meter-long alligator-turtle Vicious Beast into the ground…

Su Lei's figure completely merged into the monster tide.

His movements were indistinguishable, only the continuous muffled sounds of bones shattering could be heard.

Every blow he struck seemed to carry the force of a thousand jin.

A graze would injure, a direct hit would kill.

The Vicious Beasts in his path either had their bodies shattered or were sent flying dozens of meters away.

The encirclement formation was instantly broken before it could even fully form.

In less than a few seconds, over thirty mangled corpses were left on the ground.

Li Shi's gaze deepened slightly.

“His movements are clean and decisive, every move lethal.”

“This guy… he definitely fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!”

Zhang Shan, who was about to retort, didn't know what to say.

Looking at the figure rapidly moving through the beast tide, he secretly clenched his fists.

Su Lei paid no attention to the astonished gazes from the people behind him, simply continuing his calm slaughter.

After his experience in the Misty Mountains, this level of combat was as simple as eating and drinking for him.

In fact…

He found it somewhat boring.

After once again smashing three scorpion Vicious Beasts that charged at him into countless fragments, he suddenly stopped and turned to look into the depths of the beast tide.

Everyone followed his gaze.

Five hundred meters away, the sand dune was unnaturally bulging.

A bulge with a diameter exceeding twenty meters was rapidly moving towards the base, the ground in its wake rippling like boiling water.

“Bang!”

A deafening explosion tore through the silence.

Yellow sand shot into the sky, forming a hundred-meter-tall sand pillar.

From within the churning sand mist, a colossal creature burst out of the ground,

Its shadow, vast enough to blot out the sky, instantly enveloped the entire city wall.

It was a gigantic sandworm, as tall as a six-story building.

Its mouth was filled with ring-shaped sharp teeth, and when open, it exceeded ten meters in diameter, like a bottomless abyss.

“Oh my god…” A young researcher's legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.

On the city wall, the Martial Masters' expressions also changed.

“A Fourth-Order… Vicious Beast!”

“Hiss——”

The sandworm let out a grating, metallic screech, and its body, covered in barbs, suddenly arched.

The sand beneath Su Lei's feet suddenly sank, forming a quicksand vortex five meters in diameter.

But he merely stepped lightly, and his figure shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bowstring.

“Boom!”

Without warning, the sandworm's giant tail suddenly burst from the ground, its sharp barbs sweeping heavily towards the sky!

Suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to exert force, Su Lei suddenly stepped on empty air, forcibly moving several meters to the side.

The next moment,

The giant tail grazed his combat uniform, and the wind pressure it generated caused the city wall thirty meters away to hum.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Su Lei clenched his right fist and, with a piercing whoosh, slammed it heavily onto the sandworm's shell.

“Clang——”

With a booming sound like a great bell, dazzling sparks erupted where his fist met the shell.

The sandworm let out a painful shriek, and the struck shell actually developed spiderweb-like cracks.

All of this happened in a flash of lightning; by the time the people on the city wall reacted, they were utterly dumbfounded.

“Bare-handed… he cracked the shell of a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast?”

Zhang Shan gripped the battlements tightly, his face filled with disbelief.

Beside him, Li Shi swallowed with difficulty, “The force directly penetrated inside, what a domineering strike…”

Suddenly suffering a heavy blow, the sandworm was completely enraged.

Its six compound eyes simultaneously became bloodshot, and the acid glands in its mouth writhed frantically.

Su Lei's pupils contracted, and his figure retreated rapidly.

The next second, a torrent of dark green acid spewed forth, covering a fifty-meter radius like a downpour.

With a series of grating “hissing” sounds, rocks and soil were instantly corroded into bubbling goo.

Su Lei's figure became a blur, passing through the impenetrable acid rain, and he raised his right knee, slamming it heavily into the crack in the shell!

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, an invisible wave of Qi exploded.

The sandworm's massive body lurched backward, almost being knocked to the ground.

The large shell on its surface was completely shattered, revealing the pink, writhing flesh beneath.

“This, this…”

The Martial Masters present were all stunned, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

After suffering successive heavy blows, the sandworm suddenly opened its gaping maw, and a terrifying suction instantly formed.

Sand, rocks, and Vicious Beast corpses within a hundred-meter radius were all sucked into its abyssal mouth.

The expressions of the people on the city wall changed drastically, and they all grabbed onto whatever they could.

Su Lei's feet sank deep into the sand, his combat uniform flapping violently in the strong wind.

He pushed off with his legs, and his entire being suddenly transformed into a blur, charging against the airflow directly towards the sandworm's mouth!

At the moment he was about to be swallowed, all the power of his Qi and blood gathered in his right fist, transforming into more than twenty alternating bright and dark forces.

“Boom——!!!”

A visible shockwave erupted!

Muffled explosions continuously rang out from within the sandworm's body, and its massive body twitched violently like an over-inflated ball.

Accompanied by earth-shattering roars, this Fourth-Order Vicious Beast exploded into countless fragments from the inside out.

In a sky filled with blood rain, Su Lei slowly landed.

His body trembled slightly, shaking off all the pus and bloodstains adhering to his combat uniform.

At this moment, the entire Southern Defense Line fell into a dead silence.

It wasn't until a gust of wind dispersed the blood mist that a deafening cheer erupted from the city wall.

Before the cheering subsided, Su Lei had already started walking, steadily advancing towards another powerful aura in the distance.

“Is he…?” Zhang Shan swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, “...going to continue looking for Vicious Beasts to fight?”

“Hey! Zhang Shan, Li Shi!”

“What are you two still standing around for? It’s time for us to join the fight too!”

The shouts in their ears suddenly jolted the two awake.

Looking around, dozens of Martial Masters had already leaped off the city wall and charged towards the beast tide.

Wang Kai was looking at them with an unfriendly gaze.

“Since Su Lei’s target is those powerful Vicious Beasts… the remaining small fries should be dealt with by us!”

After speaking, he also joined the battle, wielding his alloy combat saber.

Zhang Shan moved his lips, unable to resist looking again in the direction Su Lei had gone, his eyes suddenly becoming complex.

On the horizon over there, another sand wave was rising…
