This kid is extrely afraid of death. Even if he has to die for the Human Race, he'll surely hold on until the last mont. As long as he can breathe, he absolutely won't willingly accept death...
So, sothing must've gone wrong. Sothing must've gone wrong! There's danger on the battlefield, great danger on the battlefield! Where's the danger, where's the danger...
He looked around, scanning the surroundings, and his gaze imdiately fell upon the Beast Nest trapped within the Four Symbols Formation. He fixated upon it intensely.
That's it! It must be this big guy! If it's this big guy, the Martial Emperors might survive, but a little shrimp like Wang Zhan would definitely be dood...
Suddenly, he thought. Damn it, if even a little shrimp like Wang Zhan, who can slaughter Grandmasters, is dood, wouldn't I, an Internal Energy Martial Artist who's purely a product of piled-up resources, be even more dood?
Fortunately, the Beast Nest didn't pay any attention to an insignificant ant like him. Otherwise, with his suddenly changed complexion, his panicked gaze, and his trembling hands, one could imdiately connect these signs to sothing more, no matter whether it was day or night.
GULP...
Su Tao swallowed hard.
Yang Qi gave him a strange look, puzzled, and said, "What's the matter with you, are you sick? You're shivering. Are you suffering from kidney deficiency? Let
tell you, if you really are, make sure to tell . Don't just pee or poop from high up in the sky; that's very inconsiderate.
Even if the ground is filled with savage beasts, what if you accidentally hit a human? Can you take responsibility in a life-or-death situation?"
Su Tao gave him a look that was sowhere between laughter and tears.
Big brother, my dear big brother, do you really not use your brain at all?
That kid Wang Zhan always charges forward when there's profit to be made and quickly ducks out when there's none. Haven't you noticed anything... off about that?
But he didn't dare speak up, lest the Beast Nest hear him.
Although the life and death of the Martial Emperors were still far removed from him, what if he accidentally got himself into trouble too? So, he reluctantly feigned indifference and didn't argue.
"Well, we're too far away from Wang Zhan; we can't get a clear shot. Let's move a little closer, and I want to shoot from Wang Zhan's front. It would look much better that way..."
It wouldn't just be effective; if he really dared to send it out, he'd be a massive hit by tomorrow, guaranteed.
But that wasn't the main point. Standing in front of Wang Zhan ant being at the vanguard, in the direction of a potential retreat. Although Su Tao didn't have much personal experience with retreating, he was more than familiar with it from gas.
A crafty rabbit has three burrows. If you don't want to die, you have to plan an escape route.
Yang Qi thought about it and agreed. Perhaps it could highlight Wang Zhan's heroic posture even more.
Even though he was certain that what Wang Zhan had fed him was not a Sky-grade Elixir, since he couldn't beat Wang Zhan, he had to go along with whatever Wang Zhan said.
Refute? Man, didn't you see what happened to the Tang Family's Second Master that night when he was cut down? He died so damn miserably.
Even now, Yang Qi felt a chill in his skull just thinking about it.
A... Sky-grade Elixir, that's all. Wang Zhan wouldn't do that to him, would he? He was Wang Zhan's bodyguard, after all.
「The battle raged on.」
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
The roaring sounds, impacts, and the clash of weapons gradually receded from the Central Battlefield.
Except for Wang Zhan, who was still rallying morale and shouting himself hoarse, everyone else had fallen into silence, chanically slaughtering.
Too many, too nurous to count.
If it weren't for Wang Zhan standing firm like a Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle here, these Grandmasters, and even other Grandmasters present, might all end up as waste products in the beasts' digestive tracts within a single engagent.
KILL!
KILL!
KILL!
In contrast to their silence, the beasts were continuously raging, incessantly roaring their intent to surround and kill Wang Zhan and his group.
Unfortunately, Wang Zhan and his group were too cunning. They were already exhausted, their energy depleted, and their numbers dwindling.
But as ti passed, their coordination beca even more seamless and steady. They ford a common Military Departnt formation and steadily pushed forward.
ROAR!
ROAR!
ROAR!...
The fierce roars of the beasts were t with the humans' orderly arrangent—the first rank falling back, the second rank filling in, the third rank slaying enemies, the fourth rank collecting corpses, and the fifth rank resting.
In the blink of an eye, the beasts' fierce roars quickly turned into whimpering cries, like pitiful creatures trodden on by their masters, before they were swiftly deprived of their lives, their beast cores, and their pri flesh. The humans paid this no mind, directly consuming the flesh to replenish so of their energy.
The pri flesh of a beast is where its energy is most concentrated. Though unrefined into an elixir, making consumption seem crude and bloody, this thod of sustaining themselves through battle was a kind of alternative elixir.
DIE!
Wang Zhan roared, his voice hoarse. His fist was unstoppable, his clone by his side wielding the Liyun Blade, showing no rcy with each slash.
One punch, one slash, they served as the vanguard of the formation.
Wang Zhan, the young man who had forced the Federation to change its tournant rules, finally displayed his willingness to fight to the death before everyone.
At this mont, he was a warrior and a leader. He was a common soldier and a hero. Behind him, more than one hundred and eighty stalwarts trod the wilderness, unstoppable. The Human Race will prevail!
「Elsewhere.」
What's that? What's that sound?
Yuan ngru and her group turned their heads. They thought they heard a clamor from the distant battlefield, like an illusion.
Imdiately, their complexions changed as they sensed sothing was amiss.
Is the battlefield pushing outward? Can the Human Race not hold them back?
One should know, this ti, ninety percent of Jing State's mid-tier forces had been deployed, and its high-tier forces had poured out in full strength. If even this wasn't enough, just how ferocious had the Beast Clan beco?
Could it be that nearly twenty Martial Emperors, hundreds of Grandmasters, and thousands of Grandmasters were all unable to withstand the onslaught of the Beast Clan?
Yuan ngru halted, her expression solemn as she gazed in that direction, then looked at the people beside her.
"We need to go back!"
"Go back for what? If they've lost, we definitely can't win. Why not focus on surviving first?"
Said the brat from the Royal Martial Arts Academy.
However, Yuan ngru couldn't be bothered with him and looked towards Hanqing, Chu Yuming, and Lin Xiaoyin; these three were the real key.
Lin Xiaoyin was silent for a mont, then, after so thought, she shook her head.
"Cousin, I've experienced a Beast Tide. If they really can't hold on, going there with our current abilities would be suicide. We wouldn't be any help at all; instead, we'd just be a burden!"
Having survived a Beast Tide before, she naturally knew the dangers involved.
Hanqing and Chu Yuming were also silent. Chu Yuming looked up, a hint of guilt in his voice as he said, "I'm sorry, I can't take the risk..."
A reason? There was no need for one. His simple "I can't" clearly conveyed his stance.
Hanqing was the sa. "The Dean taught
that if you can't win, run. There's no sha in it. Besides, I have faith in them. Even if they are to lose, it won't happen this quickly."
"You all!"
Yuan ngru's brow furrowed deeply as she stared intently at the three Federation geniuses before her, all of whom, without exception, had chosen to retreat.
They all chose to retreat without a fight! Is there any hope left for a Federation like this?
Now, she seed to finally understand a little of what Yun Tianyi had said during the Team Extra Ti Competition: one must possess the will to fight, to fight to the death!
And it seed that Yun Tianyi had only said that because of Wang Zhan's ergence...
Lin Xiaoyin looked a bit ashad, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Cousin... it's not that we don't dare to fight to the death; it's truly unnecessary right now! It's not our ti to step up yet. The only thing we can do is preserve ourselves and wait for the right mont..."
Yuan ngru did not speak, nor did she mock; she just nodded lightly.
"Very well. Since our paths diverge, let's not try to walk them together. From this mont on, I'm leaving the team. Farewell, everyone!"
"Cousin..." Lin Xiaoyin cried out in alarm.
Yuan ngru did not turn back; she only waved her hand.
"I'm fine. I won't try to persuade you. Truthfully, I have my own selfish reasons for going back this ti. So, don't follow ; I won't appreciate it."
This was the first ti she's been so resolute... Lin Xiaoyin's expression froze, a dazed look on her face.
Ultimately, they didn't follow. Instead, they chose to continue waiting for the right opportunity. Besides, Yuan ngru had her selfish reasons; they were different. Their only desire was to grow stronger for the sake of the Human Race.
Yuan ngru also understood this clearly.
There's no right or wrong between us. But when that 'right ti' finally cos, will you still dare to fight?
The fighting spirit of Human Race warriors has always been forged on the battlefield. If one behaves like a rat, hiding and scurrying, they might eventually forget they were once an upright human being.
Sigh... Hopefully, that day will never co.
「So ti later.」
In fact, twenty minutes had passed by the ti Yuan ngru found the part of the Beast Tide where Wang Zhan was fighting.
By then, forty minutes had elapsed since Wang Zhan began to maneuver away from the Central Battlefield. More than a hundred warriors around him had perished, leaving only about one hundred and fifty.
"Wang Zhan?"
Seeing Wang Zhan was a shock to her. She simply couldn't comprehend how the person carving a path through the Beast Tide, advancing with great strides, could be Wang Zhan.
When Wang Zhan saw her, his brow twitched sharply.
Why is this woman here? Is she tired of living?
Indeed, it wasn't just Wang Zhan; even the Human Race warriors within the Beast Tide grew anxious. They had already spotted a beast appearing behind Yuan ngru.
WATCH OUT!...
Wang Zhan wasted no words; his clone shot out like lightning. FATAL---ONE SLASH!
Yuan ngru was Yun Tianyi's disciple, after all. If Yun Tianyi found out that he had watched her die without helping, their bond of friendship would surely be greatly diminished.
Thus, the clone, in its energy form, seed to float lightly as it moved with astonishing speed, skimming over the heads of nurous beasts.
DIE!
BOOM!
First, a small boom, then a massive one.
The forr was like the buzz of mosquitoes and flies; the latter, like the heavens rending or the earth splitting.
At this mont, every living being in the wilderness, whether human or beast, felt a terrifying shiver run through them.
Wang Zhan's earth-shattering roar struck directly into the hearts of all stunned and trembling beings. His eyes seed ready to split as he yelled, "RUN!"
The Beast Nest... it really exploded!
