125: All of you, stand right there!
A dozen or so people blocking a swarm of hundreds, even thousands, of demonic beasts—this sheer disparity in numbers doomed this battle to be a grueling one.
Luo Feng and the others had already fought until their eyes turned red. They charged into the demonic beast army, knowing only to unleash their skills as beast after beast fell in the field.
But gradually, casualties began to appear.
Fourth and fifth-rank martial artists were not invincible. In this swarm alone, there were over a hundred fourth and Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts!
Squelch!
A fifth-rank Demon Slaying General had his body torn to shreds by several demonic beasts of the same rank! Not even an intact corpse remained!
As the battle continued to drain them, over half of Luo Feng's group were dead or wounded!
Even though civilian martial artists came to help, it didn't do much good!
“Commander, you go first! The brothers will cover the rear!”
A Middle-aged Man roared out.
Luo Feng waved his hand casually, decapitating a Fifth-Rank Demonic Beast!
Hearing this, he laughed loudly: “Leave? I never planned on going back alive today! The Alien Space has fallen; I cannot escape my responsibility. I can only kill a few more of these beasts to make up for it!”
“Brothers, I've failed you!”
The group suddenly broke into smiles.
“Scared of what? Ever since I joined the army, I’ve been living on borrowed time!”
“That's right! Dying early or dying late is all the same!”
“Old Zhang, where's that camera you've been hiding? Set it up for me! Let those youngsters see how I kill the enemy!”
“I'll go first!”
...Some soldiers at the end of their ropes suddenly showed looks of determination and resolutely self-detonated!
The self-detonation of a Fourth-Rank martial artist was enough to take seven or eight demonic beasts down with them!
Boom!
Like fireworks blooming, they went off one after another.
Luo Feng's heart bled as he watched his familiar brothers die one by one before his eyes!
“Beasts!”
Gripping his War Blade, he burned the last of his strength and crashed into the demonic beast swarm.
Kill!
Endless slaughter! There were no distracting thoughts in his eyes; whoever entered his sight was a target!
Without him realizing when it happened, Luo Feng was surrounded by the demonic beast army, and there was no one left behind him!
He was the only survivor!
The corpses of demonic beasts were piled into a small hill. Luo Feng, covered in blood, leaned against a carcass, panting heavily.
He didn't know how many he had killed, nor how many demonic beasts had escaped toward human territory.
He was too tired. Even as a Sixth-Rank, he couldn't withstand human wave tactics.
Behind him, the Toxic Mist had already rushed out of the Alien Space and was spreading toward the town!
The approaching demonic beasts stared at Luo Feng with bloodshot eyes; they too had gone mad with killing!
However, as the Toxic Mist drifted over, the ferocity in their eyes turned to terror. They immediately ignored Luo Feng, turned around, and fled!
Luo Feng watched this with half-closed eyes, his aura weak. He tried to muster one last bit of strength, but he failed.
Slumping down powerlessly against a beast's corpse, he gazed somewhat dazedly at the distant sky.
“How nice... this place is a good enough grave.”
Luo Feng smiled slightly. He seemed to see a gentle and virtuous woman appearing before him, looking at him tenderly: “If you're tired, just close your eyes.”
The corners of Luo Feng's mouth curled up: “Can we finally meet?”
The woman looked at him with a soft and gratified gaze: “You've done well. In this life, you've sacrificed everything for the human race. It's time to rest.”
Luo Feng sighed: “Yes! It's time to rest...”
His eyes slowly closed, his hand still tightly gripping his notched War Blade.
The distant sky was stained with a layer of purple at some point. Luo Feng seemed to hear the woman calling his name again, her voice carrying through the filling yellow sand with a refined tenderness.
“Luo Feng... come home.”
Only the sound of the wind remained in the world, like it was mourning for this protracted war, or humming a late requiem.
His breathing grew lighter and lighter, finally dissipating into the biting sandstorm.
The purple Toxic Mist swept over the remains on the ground, past the mountains of corpses, brushed over the heroic souls of the soldiers, and gradually filled the entire town!
“Boom!”
A terrifying explosion disturbed the silent town!
A young figure moved against the tide, wielding lightning, his voice like thunder: “Stay the fuck right there!”
A terrifying domain instantly spread out. Demonic beasts within twenty meters were instantly blasted into dust by bolts of lightning!
[Ding! Killed Third-Tier Demonic Beast x6! Gained a medium amount of Alien Energy!]
Fang Bai looked at the demonic beasts with cold eyes and slowly uttered: “Darkness Erosion!”
Another domain appeared. Countless dark tentacles surged out from within, directly entangling the beasts and dragging them into the abyss!
Roar!
The human who had suddenly charged out enraged the demonic beasts!
However, their eyes were incredibly cruel, filled with disdain as they looked at Fang Bai!
They had even worn down a Sixth-Rank to death; what waves could a fifth-rank human possibly make?
But as they employed their human wave tactics again, they discovered that they actually couldn't take down this human in a short time!
The opponent's energy seemed endless, without the slightest sign of depletion! On the contrary, he grew stronger the more he fought!
[Ding! Host has met the conditions for advancement!]
[Host's cultivation has broken through to the mid-stage of Lightning Element Fifth-Rank!]
...[Host's cultivation has broken through to the mid-stage of Dark Element Fifth-Rank!]
Although Fang Bai's raw strength wasn't as high as Luo Feng's, his efficiency in killing demonic beasts was far superior!
He didn't need to consider energy consumption; he only needed to kill enemies relentlessly!
Conversely, the more he killed, the stronger he became!
Roar!
Two Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts finally lost their patience and launched a combined charge at Fang Bai!
The latter gave a disdainful smile and directly summoned a clone to meet the enemy!
Fang Bai's shadow clone was enough to take on a Fifth-Rank Demonic Beast alone!
His shadow clone also possessed various buffs, directly suppressing the beasts!
Fang Bai went into a killing frenzy among the demonic beast swarm!
At first glance, it looked as if he alone had surrounded the entire swarm!
Fang Bai's aura had reached the peak of the mid-stage fifth-rank!
And at that moment, the Toxic Mist spread over!
Fang Bai's first goal was to kill demonic beasts, and his second was to stall for time so the Toxic Mist could deal with them!
After all, he couldn't kill that many demonic beasts on his own!
When the Toxic Mist descended, the demonic beasts tried to flee, but they underestimated its power. In an instant, a large number of low-rank demonic beasts were corroded by the mist and collapsed in heaps!
The high-rank demonic beasts looked on with extreme wariness, but the fifth-rank beasts managed to stay calm because their power could briefly resist the Toxic Mist!
They looked coldly at Fang Bai, but then they were all stunned.
They saw that the human didn't seem affected by the Toxic Mist at all. Instead, he was chasing the demonic beasts down with a Lightning Hammer!
Demonic Beasts: ???
Is this even a human?
Fang Bai possessed a Body Immune to All Poisons; he had no fear of this Toxic Mist!
This Toxic Mist was practically like his brother, cooperating with him to kill the demonic beasts!
Seeing this, the Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts immediately showed looks of wariness. Then, while Fang Bai wasn't targeting them, they turned around and fled!
It was their first time seeing a human more terrifying than a demonic beast!
