Chapter 87 The Sage’s Arrival!
Immersed in the battle, Lin Feng did not at all notice that the entire battlefield had gone very quiet. This was not to say that it was truly silent, but that there was no other sound apart from the screams of the dire
beasts.
Be it the ordinary martial artists or the inhuman experts, all of them were very silent. They only watched silently as Lin Feng displayed his prowess and rampaged through the horde of dire beasts, invoking terror and
inflicting violence on the horde of dire beasts with his “wild charge” time and time again.
In just half an hour, Lin Feng’s charges through the dire beast horde killed or injured almost a thousand dire beasts. Even Commander Long Duo could not achieve such a feat.
Time passed by slowly. The war had already lasted for nine hours. Strangely enough, ever since Lin Feng broke the genetic lock and unleashed his prowess, those dire beasts stopped harassing other martial artists.
Even if some did, there were very few of them.
The few remaining martial artists all gathered together and retreated to the side. Their expressions were either excited or envious as they watched Lin Feng “slaughter” the dire beasts continuously.
“Roar…”
Suddenly, the 30 demons all bellowed at the sky. Their voices rang out across the entire battlefield. One by one, the rampaging beasts all stopped and began to retreat in an orderly fashion.
“They’re retreating?”
Many people were stunned. Didn’t these dire beasts still have the absolute advantage? There were tens of thousands of dire beasts, and there were also 30 demons looking on menacingly. Why had they suddenly
retreated?
However, seeing how those demons were all glaring at Lin Feng, many people roughly understood the reason. On the surface, the dire beasts seemed to have the absolute advantage.
But in reality, ever since Lin Feng had emerged as a new force to be reckoned with and suddenly broken the genetic lock, his performance had been rather eye-catching. He fought against 20 demons alone without
being at a disadvantage, and even had the upper hand. Even if the demons mobilized those dire beasts like cannon fodder to attack Lin Feng, Lin Feng charged through them with brute force and killed over thousands
of them almost effortlessly.
If neither the demons nor the dire beasts could not do anything to Lin Feng, what were they staying here for?
These demons were very intelligent. Since they could not kill Lin Feng, they could only retreat for the time being.
“We won?”
“Haha, those dire beasts have retreated. We have held Dragonlith City.”
“No, it’s not us, but that young martial artist.”
Seeing the dire beasts retreat, many people cried tears of joy. The people of Dragonlith City were even more jubilant. Even those who were watching the battle on their screens were genuinely happy.
However, they all knew who the most crucial person in holding Dragonlith City was. It was that incredible young martial artist who broke the genetic lock at the critical moment, and defeated thousands of dire beasts
alone.
“Who is this young martial artist?”
“He saved the entire Dragonlith City. He is the hero of three million people in Dragonlith City!”
“That’s right. We must always remember this martial artist. He was the one who defended Dragonlith City.”
“Does anyone know him?”
Many people were trying to find out everything about Lin Feng, especially the people in Dragonlith City. They knew very well what would have happened to Dragonlith City without Lin Feng.
It was no exaggeration to say that Lin Feng had saved the three million people in Dragonlith City. He was the savior of three million people! He’d deserve even a statue erected in his honor to be worshiped by
generations
However, after inquiring many people around them, they found that no one knew the young martial artist’s name.
Who was he? For a time, it became information that everyone in Dragonlith City sought after.
Lin Feng frowned. These dire beasts had retreated, but he did not feel that he had won. On the contrary, he felt that these dire beasts would always be a hidden danger.
This was because these dire beasts did not go far. They only stopped three kilometers away from Dragonlith City. It seemed that they were still unwilling to give up, and were also discussing strategies.
On careful thought, this was actually very understandable. Although Lin Feng had repelled these dire beasts, repelling them was all he did. He couldn’t even kill a single demon. How could these dire beasts be willing to
give up?
They were Predators. Once they captured Dragonlith City, it would mean millions of fresh bodies for their consumption. Then, their numbers and strength would grow to an unimaginable level.
Such was the nature of Predators. The more they plundered, devoured, and slaughtered, the stronger they became. Hence, Predators were the natural enemy of almost all living beings. Wherever they went, almost
nothing could survive.
Hence, they were unwilling to give up on their “prey” just like that when they were so close. They were only retreating temporarily, and must be discussing ways to deal with Lin Feng.
At the same time, Lin Feng was actually thinking of ways to deal with these dire beasts as well. Ordinary dire beasts were one thing. They were practically cannon fodder, so as long as he was given time, he could even
kill all these dire beasts alone.
The difficult ones were the demons. These demons were all powerful. More importantly, their undying characteristic was really difficult to deal with. It was true that Lin Feng benefited from it now. As he had fused the
genes of the fleshworm dire beast, he also possessed a certain degree of undying characteristic.
However, dealing with these demons with the undying characteristic also gave Lin Feng a headache. Moreover, he had to face a total of 30 demons, which would be even more troublesome.
“Haha, Lin Feng, I didn’t expect you to break the genetic lock at this moment. As expected, there is great terror in life-or-death situations, but there is also great opportunity in life-or-death situations.”
At this moment, Chief Commander Long Duo, who had recovered a little, led the remaining seven inhuman experts before Lin Feng. These inhuman experts were all in a sorry state, but at the same time, they were also
very exuberant.
They had escaped death. If not for Lin Feng’s appearance and the retreat of these dire beasts, they would all have died on the battlefield today.
No one asked Lin Feng why he was so strong, nor did they ask him how many innate abilities he had awakened. This was personal privacy, especially for inhuman experts. This kind of private information could not be
shared with anyone except those closest to one.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, “I only repelled these dire beasts for the time being. They’re still unwilling to give up, but I can’t kill those 30 demons…”
Although Lin Feng also wanted to kill the 30 demons, he could not do it. He had just broken the genetic lock, and had not even completed his metamorphosis, yet he was already able to suppress the 30 demons. This
was already a miracle.
No one could expect Lin Feng to do any better.
Chief Commander Long Duo looked at Lin Feng in satisfaction. Then, he smiled and said, “Lin Feng, you’ve already done a good enough job. You are the hero of the entire Dragonlith City, and the hero to all of humanity!
As for what happens next, you don’t have to worry. Looking at the time, the Sage should be here soon.”
“The Sage… Invincible Fist Sage?”
Lin Feng had actually forgotten about this matter. They were putting up resistance outside Dragonlith City not to kill all the dire beasts, but to hold off the dire beasts and buy time.
And now, almost 10 hours had passed. The legendary founder of the Myriad Academy, the Invincible Fist Sage, one of the Nine Sages of the world, was about to arrive.
Buzz.
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a fiery red cloud appeared in the distant sky. It came closer and closer. Finally, a violent wind howled, and the entire sky seemed to be set aflame.
A massive fireball abruptly descended from the burning cloud.
“He’s here, he’s finally here. Lord Invincible Fist Sage!”
The remaining eight inhuman experts looked up at the fiery sky, their eyes filled with excitement and reverence..
