157: The disaster of Freedom Island!

Freedom Island.

On the western edge of the coast, it was originally peaceful, but suddenly, a huge spatial rift appeared in the sky.

This sudden change caused the Marines and Army stationed nearby to all turn pale, and some even screamed in terror, "The Tiger King has arrived at Freedom Island!"

"Quick, go inform the others and request backup!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the soldiers stationed nearby sprang into action, each looking as if facing a formidable enemy, and some of the more timid ones began to despair, running backward without a word!

They recalled how the Tiger King had previously defeated King Ghidorah and Rodan, two Titan Beasts, and the terrifying scene where the Tiger King withstood over a hundred nuclear bombs unscathed. Everyone began to tremble, their hearts filled with fear.

Seeing this, the highest commanding officer here immediately stood in front and roared, "Don't retreat!"

"Set up all the turrets and blast that rift to pieces!"

Although the highest commanding officer didn't know if this would work, he had a terrible premonition and shouted to everyone, "If even we retreat, Freedom Island will be completely finished!"

"Whatever ammunition you have, aim it all at that rift and fire with full force!"

"We absolutely cannot let the Tiger King descend!"

"Roar—"

As soon as the highest commanding officer's voice fell, everyone heard angry roars.

Then, they saw a gigantic figure leap out of the rift and immediately raise the long sword in its hand, striking down without hesitation.

Rumble—

In an instant, the incoming missiles were detonated prematurely, without affecting the rift behind!

Ta Mu, Yuan Dali, and Nami, along with other fierce beasts, emerged one after another. Facing the overwhelming barrage of missiles, they showed no fear, some even revealing a hint of disdain.

Currently, they were all powerhouses above the third tier. Even if they were facing nuclear weapons at this moment, they could withstand one or two. What were these missiles and bullets, whose power was countless times weaker?

"Spread out first!"

Ta Mu thought quickly, and seeing the dense ammunition, he immediately roared, "There might still be nuclear bombs coming. We can't stay together!"

"Good!"

"We'll do as you say!"

The other fierce beasts all nodded, rushing to various locations with extreme speed, quickly occupying different areas to deal with the incoming missiles.

They did this to prevent Freedom Island from resorting to a scorched-earth tactic, deploying a large number of nuclear bombs on their homeland.

If such a situation truly occurred, King Kong, Ta Mu, and all these fierce beasts would die, as they didn't possess Xia Fan's terrifying defensive capabilities!

"Rise!"

Nami waved her arms, and soon after, a terrifying tsunami instantly erupted, rushing to the shore at an extremely fast speed and destroying the naval base!

The rest of the fierce beasts roared, charging towards the tanks, turrets, and planes about to take off on the ground.

Pfft—

King Kong swung his sword, instantly splitting a tank in half, and then, without blinking, looked at the other targets.

On the other side, Yuan Dali, like Xiong Da and Lang San, directly used brute force to ram these steel beasts. Immediately, terrifying explosions echoed, and those tanks and turrets instantly became useless.

Ta Mu, however, opened his mouth and swallowed a tank, only spitting it out with a "Pah! Pah!" after it had turned into a lump of iron, exclaiming, "It tastes awful!"

"This... this isn't the Tiger King?"

The high-ranking officials of Freedom Country were all urgently recalled to the conference room at this moment, watching the events unfolding on the west coast, and couldn't help but become anxious, "Thankfully it's not the Tiger King, otherwise our losses would be even more severe."

"The Tiger King hasn't come, but his subordinates alone have already posed such a huge threat to Freedom Island."

"Aside from nuclear bombs, there is no one or no weapon in the country that can stop them!"

At this point, one of the high-ranking officials spoke in a deep voice, "Therefore, we must immediately deploy nuclear bombs to blow them all up!"

"But this is on our homeland!"

Another high-ranking official immediately retorted, his expression extremely grim, "Once nuclear weapons explode, that land will become barren. Moreover... all of the Tiger King's subordinates are dispersed. If we really deploy nuclear bombs, it will not only fail to deliver an effective blow to them but also accidentally harm countless civilians and troops!"

The high-ranking officials fell silent once again upon hearing this.

They indeed hadn't considered this point just now. If they really did that, it would be no different from suicide.

Therefore, after considering this point, the high-ranking officials of Freedom Country immediately rejected the suggestion of deploying nuclear bombs.

Even their leader spoke in a heavy voice, "To deploy nuclear bombs on our homeland, unless... it's truly the day our nation is destroyed!"

After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately ordered, "Quick, release this news. No matter who it is, as long as they can let the outside world know this news, we will be saved."

The leader even personally said a sentence to appeal for help to the whole world, "If the great Freedom Island falls, do you think any other human force can resist the fierce beasts?"

One hour passed, two hours passed... The high-ranking officials of Freedom Country waited for a long time but received no response. No one even sympathized with their plight.

After all, everyone knew that Freedom Country had brought this upon itself—if they hadn't provoked the Tiger King, how would they have invited such a monstrous disaster?

...Meanwhile, in the middle of the ocean.

After Xia Fan was pushed into the depths of the sea by the Blue Octopus King's heavy water giant wave, he only felt a little dizzy.

Speaking of which, it was his first time suffering such a great loss, being so disheveled. However, fortunately, this time he only made a fool of himself but did not suffer any substantial harm.

Even if he sustained some injuries while being pushed away, Xia Fan's current Undying Body could allow him to recover quickly.

Recalling the various encounters before, Xia Fan's gaze gradually became solemn, "I didn't expect this guy to have such a method. I truly underestimated it before!"

At this moment, he truly understood why a fifth-tier creature was already truly extraordinary and transcendent.

After all, a pseudo-fifth-tier creature, having already touched the threshold of the fifth tier, could exert such power. If it advanced further, its soul could fight independently.

At that time, that would be true power.

Pondering this, Xia Fan sighed slightly and directly put away the eastern emperor bell. However, he still had the eastern emperor bell guard his soul to avoid being affected by the Blue Octopus King's soul control methods, "Well, never mind. Even without the eastern emperor bell for defense, it's not like I can't fight!"
