Translator: CinderTL

 

Buzz!!!

An invisible barrier enveloped the surroundings of Suojia City, blocking all access routes leading to the city.

Countless vehicles came to a halt, and even local law enforcement and military vehicles were seen rushing to the scene at high speed.

"What on earth is happening!!"

"I don't know, I can't see anything on the other side!"

"Look, those cars seem to have hit something, they can't get through."

Amidst the chatter, many people looked up.

Suojia City was right there, yet they couldn't pass through the barrier to enter.

Meanwhile, inside the city.

No one knew what was happening outside, as most people were engulfed in fear and despair.

Boom!!! Amidst the explosions, looking down from above.

The bustling city by the river was ablaze with fire.

Giant spider-like monsters charged onto the buildings along the shore, shattering windows.

Serpentfolk scattered in all directions, flattening cars and overturning obstacles as they charged towards other humans.

Screams, wails, despair, darkness... Fire hydrants were broken, water spraying everywhere, drenching everyone in cold streams.

Xu Tingxiao and others ran through the city, his face filled with urgency as he and Cao Tong tried to move against the flow of the crowd.

"Grandmaster Pei, where is my Senior Brother!!"

Spotting an elderly figure rushing from the riverside, who killed the pursuing Serpentfolk, Xu Tingxiao urgently asked.

"Grandmaster Chen is still at the shipping checkpoint."

Pei Pokong said with regret, and upon hearing this, Xu Tingxiao wanted to rush towards the shore.

"No!!"

Pei Pokong quickly grabbed him, about to speak.

Whoosh!!

A huge shadow flew across the sky, resembling a half-human bat.

A large signboard was blown by the strong wind, falling from the sky. Pei Pokong immediately unleashed his Force, striking out with a palm.

Boom!!

The signboard shattered, flying far away.

The crowd below remained unharmed. Pei Pokong looked at Xu Tingxiao, whose face had turned pale, and solemnly advised, "Grandmaster Chen asked me to lead you all to retreat!"

"He always acts rationally, and even if you go now, what can you do?"

He spoke bluntly, not wanting to see Xu Tingxiao throw his life away.

Cao Tong and others clenched their fists, filled with anger and frustration.

Just as they were about to speak again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Finally, helicopters emerged from the sky! Cyborgs leaped down, killing the monsters on the rooftops, while others controlled Flying Shuttles, harvesting the dark Serpentfolk that had infiltrated the crowd.

"It's the Toran Sect, they've finally made their move!!"

He Jian shouted excitedly, and everyone looked in that direction.

The continuous sound of machine gun fire rang out, bullets raining down from the sky, sweeping across the area.

The situation seemed to be briefly under control. Chen Feng at the river's center seemed to sense something, punching and obliterating several monsters in front of him, then looking up at the sky.

Whoosh!!! A piercing sonic boom suddenly appeared, and Yang Wudi in the distance also looked up.

White trails streaked across the sky as several missiles shot through the air, heading straight for the center of the black hole.

Boom!!! A towering explosion erupted, waves surged high like a tsunami.

Dark green blood splattered everywhere, hundreds of Black Tide Creatures were blown to pieces.

Chen Feng's eyes narrowed as he saw the firepower modules on the helicopters, and the armored vehicles and rocket launcher-wielding soldiers arriving at the shore.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Missiles shot out from all directions, continuously firing.

Boom boom boom, the explosions kept coming.

Instantly, as he watched the monster explode into fragments and debris scatter everywhere, Chen Feng knew that the situation in Suojia City hadn't reached its worst yet.

Since Lin Hao was aware of this, the Red Nation's military must have also notified the Toran Sect and the commercial groups here.

This was no longer about the gain or loss of a single individual, but the survival of the entire city! Buzz buzz buzz!! Suddenly, helicopters rushed in, and more and more armored vehicles gathered along the shore.

Many local Cyborgs and Cyborg warriors appeared, including those at the fourth tier, and even one or two fifth-tier powerhouses.

Non-human creatures fell from the high-rise buildings, and the firepower on the shore was extremely fierce. Dense bullets rained down like a storm, sparking flames that briefly suppressed the Black Tide.

"Huff!"

Exhaling a heavy breath, Chen Feng felt the pressure ease somewhat.

Considering the significant energy he had expended, he ordered the Holy Shield Colossus to leave the area and dissipate, while he himself turned to leave.

But then.

Roar!!! A deafening roar erupted once more, filled with rage.

Fierce winds surged out of the black hole, the intense pressure sweeping across the sky like a tornado, forcing Chen Feng to slide back more than ten meters on the river surface.

Boom!!

A massive scaled claw emerged from the black hole.

The black scales resembled some kind of dark metallic armor, and its four sharp claws gripped the edges of the spatial rift like blades, as if trying to pierce through and expand the black hole.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Missiles streaked through the air, aiming to strike the scaled claw.

Explosions rumbled continuously, flames spreading across the river surface, temporarily clearing the surrounding Black Tide Creatures.

However, Chen Feng's heart sank.

He clearly saw that the scaled claw remained completely unharmed, not a single scratch on it.

Even more so.

Roar!!! The roar resounded again, shaking the heavens.

The sound waves swept out, and a hurricane exploded.

All the subsequent missiles were detonated mid-air, and two helicopters that were too close were destroyed and crashed.

Boom! Crack crack crack!

Explosions and ear-piercing sounds followed one after another. The black hole visibly expanded several meters, now reaching a size of ten meters.

Then, a claw resembling that of a dragon extended forward, stirring up towering water columns on the river surface.

"Sixth tier? Seventh tier?"

Chen Feng's expression turned grave as he reached the shore.

In his perception, he could sense the overwhelming aura of the claw's owner, far exceeding anything he had ever encountered. He couldn't even determine what level it was at.

"Such a powerful creature."

Yang Wudi stood beside him, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his deep eyes equally serious. Behind them, the officials of Suojia City, including some stationed generals, were on high alert.

In addition, tanks could be seen arriving, lining up along the streets, evacuating the surviving crowd.

The helicopters in the air didn't dare to get too close, hovering by the shore awaiting orders.

The entire world seemed to fall silent. Countless Cyborgs and Cyborg warriors appeared in the surroundings, their eyes fixed on the distant commotion.

The scaled claw on the river surface was over ten meters in size, and its owner seemed intent on entering this world.

But "It seems like it can't come through?"

Chen Feng keenly noticed the key point, and Yang Wudi shared a similar suspicion.

"Roar!!!"

Finally, with another earth-shaking roar.

The claw retracted, and the massive dragon-like creature seemed to give up on descending.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, knowing full well that if it had appeared, there would have been no way to resist it.

"Wait…"

"Look out!!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

The slightly relaxed mood was once again tensed up as everyone turned to see the Black Tide reappearing around the black hole.

Countless inhuman creatures surged out once more, even more frenzied and densely packed than before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The prepped missiles were launched again, as the Suro commander on the shore gave the order, and over a dozen tanks fired in unison!!

Boom!! The deafening sound erupted, but unexpectedly, the scene of the Black Tide being swiftly cleared did not reappear.

Instead, amidst the dense explosions of the missiles, a black curtain emerged, shielding the numerous inhuman creatures in mid-air. The crowd looked on in horror as the black curtain split into two and flapped violently.

Whoosh!!

A fierce wind blew, extinguishing the flames.

It turned out to be a pair of pitch-black wings with a span of over twenty meters. The creature below resembled a giant bat, with a long, conical-tipped tail.

"A sixth-tier creature!"

Someone exclaimed in terror, a military personnel hidden behind the city, roughly detecting the creature's strength.

Moreover.

One after another, massive creatures over ten meters tall emerged. Some were black serpents with wings, others were spider-like monsters with seven or eight long legs, striding across the river surface, their bodies resembling metal.

"Six, six of them!!"

"All fifth-tier!!"

Exclamations of shock came through the military communicators. These giant monsters seemed like leaders of the Black Tide creatures, each leading a group of inhuman creatures away from the river, attempting to land.

The cargo ship blocking the way was crushed under the foot of the spider-like metal monster, sinking into the river. The missiles in mid-air were bitten by the winged serpent, exploding with a bang.

As for the sixth-tier giant bat monster, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, seemingly aiming to land directly on the tallest building in Suro.

All bullets and shells were ignored at this moment. These massive creatures were shrouded in mist, their eyes blood-red, advancing with unstoppable force.

"Gulp..."

The helicopter pilot swallowed hard, his face filled with fear. The soldiers in the tanks were also seeing such a spectacle for the first time, uncertain and alarmed.

Until finally.

"The rest is up to you."

With a calm voice, Yang Wudi, cigarette in mouth, stepped forward.

Everyone was stunned, then watched as he stomped the ground and leaped, crashing like a comet towards the giant bat about to take flight.

"As expected of a senior."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng once again stood on the river surface.

The metal spider monster in the straight line was only a hundred meters away, with swarms of inhuman creatures continuously charging forward.

Boom!!! The Wrath of the Storm cleared the area, even the tanks on the roadside creaked and groaned.

The sound of splashing water echoed continuously as rounds of crimson suns hovered behind him, then shot out like missiles, bombarding the distance.

Seeing this, the military commander immediately ordered everyone.

"Fire!!!"

With two Red Nation warriors fighting so fiercely, what reason did they have to hold back? Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The roar of artillery filled the mist-covered city with deafening explosions.

Two fifth-tier Cyborgs charged out together, heading towards the massive monsters in the Black Tide.

Muffled explosions rang out, and blood and debris flew.

Countless people watched this scene from buildings or streets, as most of the monsters that had charged into the city were being cleared by the Toran Sect's forces.

"Mom, is that a monster?"

"Dad, is the world ending?"

"Mom, I'm sorry for arguing with you."

Countless voices overlapped, some trying to send messages but finding no signal, unable to contact the outside world.

Frightened and panicked gazes converged near the Suro River, gradually giving way to a glimmer of hope.

They knew their survival depended on the backs of those brave warriors.

Boom!!! In an instant, a metallic spider leg was struck by a fist.

The surrounding Serpentfolk and the giant shark in the river exploded into fragments, swept away by the powerful shockwave.

The surging river raised a massive wall of water, while fiery suns bloomed in the sky, heading straight for the flat-bodied metallic spider hovering in mid-air.

Boom, boom, boom! A series of muffled explosions rang out, yet it remained unscathed.

But there was no disappointment.

Because in Chen Feng's palm, a crimson Falling Sun had already formed, transforming into a hazy halo, as if ready to illuminate the heavens and earth.

"What is that?"

Someone on the shore exclaimed, and the metallic spider, standing aloof, glanced down coldly.

Whoosh!!! A figure leaped across the river's surface, then began scaling the spider's leg, which was over ten meters tall.

Roar!!

The metallic spider roared, unleashing its strength and swinging its leg.

Yet, it failed, as a faint golden light, like a hook, connected the figure to the leg.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in the spider's mind, and a dark light gathered in its mouth, shooting out.

Whoosh!!

It narrowly missed, crashing into the river.

Boom!! A water column nearly eight meters thick erupted into the sky, causing casualties among the surrounding non-human creatures.

Tiny droplets of water splattered, evaporating in the intense heat, accompanied by sizzling sounds.

Without looking away, Chen Feng relied on his senses and Steel Bones to propel himself upward, moving parallel to the river's surface until he reached the back of the metallic spider.

As if standing on a platform, he could overlook the buildings and streets on the shore.

Fierce winds whipped against his face, while the dense Black Tide churned below. The metallic spider grew uneasy and halted.

Roar!!

As if answering its call, a giant serpent with wings soared into the air, appearing beside it, baring its fangs and lunging forward.

"Not good!!"

Several Fifth-Tier Cyborgs from Suojia City were already occupied by other massive creatures, silently cursing their misfortune.

But in this critical moment.

Whoosh!!! The Holy Shield Colossus, which had just returned, reappeared as if descending from the heavens, flying over Chen Feng's head.

Boom!!

A brutal punch, like a celestial pillar, struck. Everyone clearly saw the three-meter-tall white giant's overwhelming might, instantly sending the winged serpent flying and crashing into the open ground on the opposite shore.

Boom!!

The sound of impact echoed as Chen Feng clenched his fists, his hands covered in a green carapace, and leaned down to inspect the flat back of the metallic spider.

Boom!!

His fist struck, hitting the back directly.

The beast's body, as tough as Radiant Alloy, cracked, and a deafening roar erupted once more.

The spider thrashed with brute force, while countless flying creatures like eagle-men and bat-men swiftly approached, attempting to force Chen Feng to retreat.

Hum!!

The air trembled as the Wrath of the Storm reappeared in the world.

Dense shadows fell like rain from the sky, and the struggling giant spider creature swayed momentarily, as if its spirit had been shaken.

Boom!!

Extreme Martial Fist, Falling Sun!

Continuous punches!! Boom boom boom!!! Chen Feng's eyes were cold and calm. The sturdy body in front of him was punched into bloody holes, and they were deepening.

Until finally, another punch was thrown.

Boom!!

The Falling Sun exploded, like a comet crashing.

The enormous spider monster suddenly fell and sank into the river, with waves splashing in all directions.

An immense surge of Evil God Power came again. Chen Feng looked towards the distant black hole, where countless Black Tide Creatures were rushing out. He could vaguely sense the fury of the clawed master.

Boom!!

At that moment, a tall building in the distance burst into flames. A giant bat-like creature folded its wings and landed, standing atop the tower.

A small figure seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, sliding far away and nearly falling from mid-air.

Everyone's expressions changed, and Chen Feng also frowned as he looked over.

Yang Wudi had only just reached the sixth level. He was the only one here who could restrain that sixth-level creature.

So, if something happened to him... Boom!!

Suddenly, the sky shook violently, causing the entire world to tremble.

The shrouded mist barrier seemed to have been struck by some powerful attack, drawing countless gazes towards it.
