Chen Fan glanced at him, "Go and take care of it. If there’s anything, give a call."
"Yes, yes."
Hua Jun nodded repeatedly.
At this mont, the people inside the city also noticed the change in situation.
The deafening sound of firearms had stopped unknowingly, even the gunfire had ceased.
The ground’s shaking also stopped, and everything returned to its previous state.
Hiding in underground garages and bomb shelters, the people were filled with uncertainty.
Why had everything suddenly gone quiet?
Was the defense successful?
Or was it not?
"Thump thump thump."
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, accompanied by shouts of ’We held the line! We held the line!’, as a guard ran over excitedly, waving his arms, "Good news! Good news! Anshan City held the line! The Beast Tide has been completely defeated!"
The atmosphere instantly fell silent, and those present could hardly believe their ears.
Had they really held the line?
"You didn’t hear wrong!"
The guard emphasized, "This wave of the Beast Tide had over 200,000 Fierce Beasts. All of them are dead! Not a single one survived, including the three Commander-level Fierce Beasts leading them. Everyone is safe now, you can all co out."
Only then did the crowd fully believe his words.
Many slumped to the ground, feeling as if all strength had been drained from them, experiencing the relief of surviving a catastrophe.
So won even cried tears of joy.
While hiding here, every minute and second was tornt, fearing the Beast Tide would break through, and countless Fierce Beasts would storm in and tear them apart.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and their worst fears did not co true.
"Brother, how did we manage to hold the line?" soone asked curiously.
"Yeah, you said there were over 200,000 Fierce Beasts this ti. How did we manage that? They must’ve covered the mountains and plains."
"Exactly, exactly,"
many people chid in.
More than twenty thousand Fierce Beasts weren’t just twenty thousand pigs. Even with that many pigs, it wouldn’t be slaughtered so quickly, right?
"Well, that’s a long story," the guard sighed deeply, his eyes showing a hint of reverence, "We were about to lose the defense. The Beast Tide had already reached the base of the walls, just one step away. At this critical mont, Chairman Li stepped in."
"Chairman Li!"
"Is that the sa Chairman Li who let us in?"
Upon hearing these three words, a wave of fondness welled up in the hearts of many present.
"Who else? Do we have a second Chairman Li in Anshan City?" The guard gave the questioner a look.
"And then? What happened next?"
"Yes, could Chairman Li alone defeat tens of thousands of Fierce Beasts?"
"Is that true? If so, it’s too impressive."
"Of course, it’s true. I was there, clearly witnessing everything,"
The guard puffed his chest out, vividly describing the scene at the ti.
anwhile, a large number of young n were being organized to head outside the city.
Even before exiting the city, they could already sll the thick stench of blood.
When they stepped outside and took in the scene, they were almost paralyzed with fear.
The ground was covered with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, resembling a scene from doomsday.
The two camps that were previously there had disappeared without a trace.
"It’s terrifying..." soone murmured.
The sight of so many beast corpses showed how urgent and dangerous the situation had been.
If they hadn’t moved into Anshan City, staying at their original location, their fate would be beyond imagination.
"Alright, stop gawking, follow ,"
The leading guard turned around and said, "When we reach the destination, not only can you look, but you can also touch."
The crowd snapped back to reality.
Yes, they weren’t here to sightsee.
They were here to handle these "spoils," cutting up the Fierce Beasts and transporting them into the city as provisions.
"Hey brother," soone mustered the courage to ask, "Will we really get so beast at in the end?"
Hearing this, the surrounding people all showed nervous expressions.
Indeed, they were told they wouldn’t be working for free and would get so beast at as compensation.
"Do you think it’s a joke?"
The guard wanted to laugh, pointing ahead, "There are so many Fierce Beasts, even if each one has only a hundred pounds of at, it’s enough for everyone in the city to get dozens of pounds. And they have a lot more at on them. Work hard and don’t slack off, everyone can carry hundreds of pounds of at back."
Upon hearing this, many people’s mouths started to water.
Hundreds of pounds per person?
Were they dreaming?
For many, coming from small villages and often struggling to make ends et, even ten pounds would be a dream co true.
Seeing their reactions, the guard chuckled to himself.
Hundreds of pounds of mid to low-level Fierce Beast at were nothing special.
Those who fought on the city walls got hundreds of pounds of High-Level Fierce Beast at. Besides that, each person also got dozens of pounds of Elite-level Fierce Beast at.
In terms of value, it’s dozens to hundreds of tis higher than mid to low-level beast at.
"Alright, you all better be assured and work hard. The City Lord’s Mansion won’t mistreat anyone."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The crowd instantly responded energetically, ignoring the muddy ground, and with tools in hand, they followed the guard.
Indeed, Chairman Li had let them stay for free, and didn’t force them into combat, just cleaning up the battlefield while getting beast at as a reward. Could they get such a good deal anywhere else?
The only worry was that in a few hours, night would fall.
This intense stench of blood would surely attract more Fierce Beasts, and then the remaining corpses could end up as food for those creatures.
Not long after, the area in front of Anshan City was bustling with activity.
So people were cutting up Fierce Beasts, so transporting chunks of at, others moving supplies back and forth, everyone was busy.
But all faces were filled with smiles.
The Beast Tide was indeed terrifying.
But after the Tide recedes, the field of corpses is a treasure trove.
...
When Chen Fan returned to the Martial Arts Association, a figure was already waiting in the hall. Seeing him arrive, the figure smiled.
"Elder Wang."
Chen Fan, not surprised, showed a helpless smile.
Although Disguise and Bone Shrinking Skill could completely change one’s appearance and voice, it couldn’t alter one’s aura.
Normally, a person’s perception of aura was diocre, but for soone like Elder Wang, a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, it was much easier.
"Shall we talk?"
Elder Wang asked with a smile.
"Alright."
Chen Fan nodded.
He had an idea of why the other party had co looking for him.
In the sa office as before, the two sat facing each other.
Chen Fan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Elder Wang.
Elder Wang waved his hand, indicating there was no need for such formality. He moved his lips and finally spoke, "Chen Fan, when did you break through to the Celestial Human Realm?"
"Celestial Human Realm..."
Chen Fan was montarily stunned and then laughed, "Elder Wang thinks I’m a Celestial Realm Martial Artist?"
"You’re not?"
Elder Wang’s pupils widened.
"No, impossible,"
He shook his head, "If you’re not a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, how could you have so much True Essence? How could you gather nearly 4,000 strands of Sword Qi?"
Evidently, he had included Chen Fan’s last two Sword Qi gatherings in that count.
After all, with Chen Fan not ditating or regulating his breath, to him, it seed natural that he had so True Qi reserves, reinvigorating his Sword Qi in battle.
"Elder Wang, I’m really not a Celestial Realm Martial Artist,"
Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, "I’m still a True Essence Realm Martial Artist, just at the Fourth Realm of True Essence, with more True Qi than others of the sa realm."
"True... Fourth Realm of True Essence?"
