Chapter 117 He's Here
Cheng Daxiong's pupils shrank sharply. He gritted his teeth and, instead of retreating, charged forward towards the five sixth-tier insect kings.
He knew he couldn't win, but he had to go; he couldn't let these sixth-tier insect emperors attack the city walls.
The soldiers on the city wall couldn't stop them, and neither could the city wall. He had to stop them.
Cheng Daxiong was locked in a fierce battle with the five sixth-tier insect kings, facing numerous perilous situations.
White spider silk shot out from the abdomen of the Spider Beast King, weaving a large net in the air and descending upon Cheng Daxiong.
He swung his knife and cut several spider threads, but more threads wrapped around him and bound his left arm.
The beetle charged, its round body like a cannonball, crashing violently into Cheng Daxiong.
He dodged to the side, and the beetle brushed past him, the air currents it created stinging his face.
The centipede sprayed out black venomous mist again.
The mantis took flight, revealing its pair of serrated blades.
The grasshopper opened its bright, shiny mouthparts.
Five beast kings attacked simultaneously, blocking all his escape routes.
"No!" came a cry of alarm from the city wall.
Xiong Chumo was shocked. He used his telekinetic throwing knives to transform into six streams of light, shooting towards the sixth-tier insect kings in an attempt to rescue Cheng Daxiong.
However, he specializes in forging and is not good at combat, so the attack power of his telekinetic throwing knives is limited.
The throwing knife struck the insects' carapaces, leaving only a few shallow white marks.
Director Xia also made a move, but he was tightly entangled by seven or eight fifth-tier beast kings.
Cheng Daxiong's left arm was entangled in spider silk, and his body was covered in poisonous mist.
The mantis's twin blades slashed towards his head.
He knew he couldn't stop them.
But he didn't close his eyes, he didn't give up. He gripped his broadsword tightly and slashed at the nearest centipede.
Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me.
Cheng Daxiong's knife was less than a meter away from the centipede.
The centipede's venomous fangs had pierced through his protective aura.
He could feel the cold, putrid smell invading his body.
He knew that once the venomous fangs pierced his chest, he would be finished.
He couldn't withstand the poison of a sixth-tier beast king.
But he did not sheathe his sword.
Because he knew very well that whether he sheathed his sword or not, he would die anyway, so he might as well take a gamble.
Swish! ! !
"Go to hell!" (This was said by Blind Cheng after his birth.)
The blade flashed.
A deeper wound was split open on the centipede's head, and black blood gushed out, splattering all over Cheng Daxiong's face.
The centipede let out a sharp hiss, its fangs venomous and pierced Cheng Daxiong's left shoulder, but not his heart.
This allowed Cheng Daxiong to escape this fatal attack.
He gritted his teeth, severed the centipede's venomous fangs with a single stroke, and then abruptly pulled away, trying to escape from the encirclement.
But the spider's web blocked his view from above.
He had no way out!
Besieged on all sides!
On the city wall, Xiong Chumo's hands were trembling as he frantically attacked the sixth-tier beast kings with his telekinetic throwing knives.
But they could never break through their defenses.
"Blind Cheng!" Xiong Chumo shouted hoarsely.
Cheng Daxiong could no longer hear his voice.
His consciousness began to blur, and he felt a tingling numbness coming from the wound on his left shoulder.
He knew he was about to give up, but he kept chopping.
One cut, two cuts, three cuts.
Each strike landed on the centipede's head, shattering its shell, tearing its flesh and blood apart, and forcing it to retreat repeatedly.
"I'll take one of them down with me even if I die!"
The mantis's twin blades slashed two deep, bone-revealing wounds across his back.
The grasshopper's mouthparts bit his left leg, nearly breaking his leg bone.
Cheng Daxiong knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his large knife stuck in the ground to keep him from falling.
His consciousness was fading away.
Just before his consciousness completely faded, he saw a scene.
That was a ray of light.
A silvery-white light flew rapidly from the northern sky.
The light was incredibly fast; one moment it was on the horizon, and the next it was right in front of us.
It trailed a long, fiery tail, like a shooting star, piercing the sky shrouded in smoke and blood.
That was a person.
A young man, dressed in silver-white inner armor, with a pair of magnificent wings spread out on his back.
With a slight tremor of his wings, he left a trail of afterimages in the air.
The edges of the wings were as sharp as knives, and the shrill sound they made as they cut through the air was deafening.
Behind him, seventy-two throwing knives floated like stars in the sky, each one gleaming with a faint starlight.
Under his mental control, the throwing knives drew graceful arcs in the air, appearing and disappearing like sprites leaping through the cracks of space.
The starlight fell on the five sixth-tier insect kings, melting their hard shells as quickly as a hot knife through butter.
At the same moment, the five sixth-tier insect kings let out a shrill scream.
Countless tiny black holes appeared on their bodies.
Those black holes are constantly expanding and spreading, devouring their flesh, shells, and internal organs.
A moment later, the five powerful sixth-tier beast kings turned into five mutilated corpses, scattered on the ground.
The battlefield fell silent for a moment.
Hundreds of thousands of insects simultaneously ceased their attack, and hundreds of thousands of compound eyes simultaneously turned to look at the silvery-white figure in the sky.
On the city wall, even the soldiers who had given up hope looked up at the young man who was radiating golden light.
Cheng Daxiong knelt on the ground, looking up at the figure hovering in the air.
He recognized the face; it was exactly the same face as in the live stream.
Ye Feng.
he came.
Cheng Daxiong forced an ugly smile.
He finally couldn't hold on any longer, closed his eyes, and fell forward.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground.
An invisible force supported him, slowly lifting him up and sending him to the city wall.
Ye Feng hovered in mid-air, glanced down at the garrison commander covered in blood on the city wall, and was relieved to confirm that he had only fainted and had not been poisoned.
I looked up at the boundless swarm of insects in front of me.
There were hundreds of thousands of insects, including several sixth-tier insect kings, even more fifth-tier insects, and countless fourth-tier insects.
Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly; killing alien beasts was truly his favorite thing to do.
……
Let's rewind a few hours.
Jiangcheng, the City Lord's Mansion.
"Major Ye! Garrison Commander Cao! Urgent military report!" The adjutant's voice trembled.
"Read it!" Cao Keyuan pushed the map aside.
"Haicheng is under siege by a horde of monstrous beasts. The situation is critical. We request reinforcements!" The adjutant's voice trembled.
"The horde of mutated beasts exceeds 300,000, all of them insect-type creatures, unlike anything I've ever seen before. Two of the five city walls of Haicheng have already been breached."
The adjutant did not continue.
Anyone with eyes can see what this means.
Haicheng is in imminent danger.
Cao Keyuan's face turned extremely ugly.
Haicheng, one of the eight major cities of Shanhe Prefecture, holds an extremely important strategic position.
If Haicheng falls, supplies from the eastern coast will be unable to be transported inland, and the economic lifeline of the entire Shanhe Prefecture will be cut off.
Moreover, after Haicheng falls, Jiangcheng will be next.
Haicheng and Jiangcheng are separated by only a few hundred kilometers of plains, offering no natural defenses.
If Haicheng falls, then hundreds of thousands of insect swarms will advance unimpeded and directly attack Jiangcheng.
At that point, let alone attending the performance review meeting in Shanhe Prefecture, it will be questionable whether Jiangcheng can even be saved.
"We must rescue them," Director Zhou declared, offering his support.
"Haicheng cannot be lost."
"I'll go." As soon as Ye Feng spoke, the air fell silent.
Cao Keyuan looked at him.
"Are you going alone?"
