151: Chapter 151 The Beast Tide is Cleared

Commander Shi Haidong leaned back in his chair, gazing at the dense array of locking-on prompts on the screen. The smile at the corners of his mouth grew increasingly intense, his eyes filled with cruelty and certainty.

"You crushed my outer defensive lines."

"You forced thousands of my soldiers to surrender."

"You relied on the ferocity of the Beast Tide, thinking you could flatten my Tianzhong City."

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze locked onto Mo Yufei in the image, every word icy, carrying extreme mockery and oppression.

"Now."

"Let me show you my true trump card."

"Before this absolute firepower coverage, your Physical Body, your Beast Tide, all your reliance... are nothing but a joke."

As his voice fell, the radar of the twelve super defensive towers activated at full power.

Beep, beep, beep.

The dense sound of locking-on prompts resounded throughout the core combat zone.

All the exotic beasts, without exception, were precisely locked on by the artillery fire.

The remnants of the Beast Tide entering the city instantly sensed a fatal crisis.

The life-and-death warning in their Souls screamed frantically. All the giant beasts froze in unison, tensing their bodies as they looked toward the twelve towering steel structures rising from the city center, an unprecedented sense of dread and fear growing in their eyes.

Even the usually chatty Benboba went silent instantly, his wings tensed as he stared fixedly at the twelve gun turrets exuding an aura of death.

A wild wind swept through the smoke-filled streets.

Mo Yufei stopped in his tracks, looking up at the steel defensive towers standing in the city center.

The plane rules still strictly sealed all supernatural powers.

There were no spiritual power shields, no elemental defenses, and no shortcuts to escape.

The barrels of the twelve defensive towers rotated at high speed, fire flickering faintly at the muzzles, the humming of energy charging making the air tremble.

In the command center, Commander Shi Haidong clasped his hands together in front of him, a sneer of certain victory on his face as he sternly ordered into the communicator: "Fire with full firepower, leave no survivors!"

The moment the order was given, an earth-shattering roar instantly tore through the sky.

Swish, swish, swish.

An extremely dense torrent of missiles gushed out from the twelve super close-in weapon systems, transforming into twelve metal storms that traversed the streets.

The high-speed warheads, carrying violent kinetic energy, formed an airtight barrage of death, pouring fiercely toward the entire Beast Tide area.

Such firing speed and firepower density far exceeded conventional armaments; the houses in the residential area were like foam, instantly shattered into flying rubble and riddled with holes.

The few heavy-armored exotic beasts at the front bore the brunt of it.

Their thick fur and hard armor were useless in the face of such extreme firepower. The dull thuds of bullets piercing their bodies were incessant; their massive bodies staggered repeatedly, and countless blood flowers bloomed instantly on them.

They roared, trying to step aside to dodge, but the close-in weapon systems had built-in tracking. No matter which direction they moved, the barrage would follow them like a shadow.

"Boss! This thing is wicked; we can't dodge it! It looks like there's no way to rush to his face in one wave!" Benboba flapped his wings and soared higher, narrowly avoiding the incoming rain of bullets.

The streets were narrow, and the buildings on both sides blocked any retreat or room for maneuvering. Twelve overlapping firepower nets covered the area, sealing off almost every inch.

The beast herd was already a remnant force that had been through multiple bloody battles and was already riddled with injuries. Now, facing this kind of area-wide suppression firepower, casualties climbed sharply once again.

One giant beast after another crashed down, blood flowing slowly along the gullies in the road.

A strong wind whistled around Mo Yufei. Relying on his Physical Body reaction, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, he constantly shifted and dodged. Stray bullets grazed his robes and skin, leaving trails of blood.

He quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, his gaze sweeping over the standing defensive towers, and shouted in a deep voice: "Split into small teams and advance along the walls! Target the defensive towers! Get close and destroy the gun positions!"

Supernatural powers were sealed, so long-range counterattacks were out of the question. Only by rushing to close range and using the raw strength of their Physical Bodies to destroy these steel killing machines could they have a glimmer of hope for survival.

The remaining exotic beasts immediately obeyed, enduring their pain, and using the building walls as cover, they split into dozens of small teams, lowering their bodies as they charged fiercely toward the twelve defensive towers.

They abandoned their formation and stopped advancing in a cluster, attempting to split the opponent's firepower lock.

The detection radar on the city defense towers switched modes, and the firepower was immediately split. A portion continued to suppress the middle path, while the remaining gun barrels turned to target the incoming exotic beast teams.

The rain of bullets swept through the alleys, and many exotic beasts were hit and fell during the charge, but the remaining companions stepped over the bodies of their comrades, still charging forward fearlessly.

Inside the command center, a staff officer watched the beast herd charging desperately on the screen and whispered: "Commander, they want to get close to the defensive towers!"

Commander Shi Haidong sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "Wishful thinking. Around the outer perimeter of the defensive towers, there are still layers of machine-gun positions and bunkers. I want to see if their Physical Bodies can break through this final barrier."

Sure enough, around the base of the defensive towers, hidden bunkers opened their covers one after another, and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns opened fire simultaneously.

The crossfire constructed a second line of defense under the towers. The exotic beasts that rushed within a hundred meters of the tower base were once again met with a head-on blow.

A massive rock-armored exotic beast used all its strength, forcibly enduring the rain of bullets to rush to the foot of a defensive tower, its giant forehead horn slamming violently into the defensive tower.

Clang—a deafening sound rang out, and the surface armor of the defensive tower was dented.

But before it could launch a second attack, the dense sky-filling alloy bullets pierced its hard scales and poured into its massive body.

The violent firepower instantly tore through the exotic beast's muscles and bones.

The giant beast's body trembled violently, and it knelt heavily onto the chaotic street, completely losing its vitality and unable to move a single inch again.

The twelve defensive towers on the periphery of the Private Palace stood tall and imposing, like an impregnable steel barrier.

Even if a few fearless top-tier exotic beasts tried to charge at close range, scratching and wearing down the tower armor and causing a slight delay in the rotation speed of the gun barrels, it could not shake the entire defensive firepower system in the slightest.

All turrets maintained an extreme rate of fire.

The roaring artillery sounds rose and fell, shaking the entire battlefield.

The scorching, dense metal barrage poured down like a deluge, forming layers of absolute kill-firepower nets.

The surging Beast Tide charged forward wave after wave, but had no power to parry under the absolute suppression of the tower defense firepower.

Large swaths of exotic beasts exploded in the artillery fire, their flesh and blood splattering the streets.

The continuous charging beast herds could not get even half a step closer to the Private Palace defensive line before being ruthlessly slaughtered and wiped out.

In just a short moment, the massive Beast Tide was littered with casualties, and the mountain-like piles of exotic beast carcasses completely blocked all attack routes. The battlefield cleanup was clean and efficient.

On a ruined high-rise building on the periphery of the battlefield, Mo Yufei watched the scene of the defensive towers displaying their might and crushing the Beast Tide without the slightest bit of dread.

In his eyes, the trump card that Commander Shi Haidong relied on, and the defensive line that the defenders were desperately holding, were small and ridiculous.

There was not a ripple in his heart, perhaps even a hint of mockery, as he quietly watched the opponent exhaust their firepower, fruitlessly clearing wave after wave of exotic beasts.

Inside the command hall, the lights were bright.

At first, Commander Shi Haidong sat upright in the command seat, his expression calm and certain, his eyes full of the confidence of certain victory.

Watching the screen where the tower defense firepower was frantically clearing the field and the Beast Tide was retreating step by step, he felt extremely secure.

In his view, with twelve defensive towers in place, no matter how fierce the Beast Tide was, there was absolutely no possibility of breaking through the defensive line; the battle situation was already firmly in his grasp.

But when his gaze swept across the corner of the screen and fixed on the figure standing calmly on the distant high-rise, a crack suddenly appeared in the certainty in his heart.

Commander Shi Haidong's brows suddenly locked tight, and for the first time, a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

He had originally thought that Mo Yufei would take advantage of the Beast Tide's charge and the moment when the defensive lines were strained to launch a surprise attack with his own super-strong Physical Body and extreme martial prowess.
