Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Chapter 66 Don't underestimate the enemy! [Two chapters with words, please vote and read on]

While Lin Ye and Xu Qi were eating and chatting.

Thousands of miles away in Hongning Fortress, dark clouds were covering the area, lightning was flashing, and a rainstorm was about to come.

In a room on the top floor of the extreme training hall, three figures were sitting casually on the floor.

Bingshan and Yaorao looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the dark clouds covering the city outside, with a hint of sadness in their eyes.

In America's defense against the beast tide, both Beast and Ahan were seriously injured and are currently receiving treatment.

Soon, the sound of raindrops hitting the window glass continued.

The strongest man of the Extreme Mercenary Group, 'Hong', was sitting in the middle of the room, browsing the warrior forum.

Suddenly, a post came into his sight——

[A seventeen-year-old war god-level spiritualist, killing his way through the beast tide. ]

"Haha!" Seeing this sensational title, Hong smiled faintly and didn't care.

Then he looked at the nickname of the poster in the lower right corner: Shuai Shaoying.

"It turns out to be the Great Xia's 'Plague God' Huang Shaoying!" Hong muttered softly, recalling a young figure in his mind.

He was deeply impressed by this unethical war god of Daxia.

Clicking on the video in the post, Hong spent five minutes watching it from beginning to end, taking in every detail of Lin Ye's battle, his expression moved.

"Such a fierce killing, but your mastery of mental power is still superficial, otherwise the killing efficiency can be increased several times!"

Seeing Lin Ye charging forward without hesitation, Hong's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance:
“Hehehe… As expected of a 17-year-old warrior and spiritualist, you will achieve great things in the future. Maybe you will be of great help to me in establishing a martial arts school in the future!”

In addition to his extraordinary martial arts skills, Hong also likes to do one thing - find and recruit various talented and powerful people.

This habit is timeless.

Once upon a time, before the disaster, when Hong was still the world's number one killer, he liked to challenge the top players from various countries, defeat them and find ways to regain their power.

This habit continued even after the disaster.

It is precisely for this reason that Hong has established this top-notch mercenary group.

"Iceberg, Yaorao, come with me to Daxia and find this Lin Ye. Try to win him over." Hong Danran said, his words filled with unspeakable confidence.

This is the powerful self-confidence that comes from absolute strength.

As Hong is the strongest man in the world, it is natural for him to be like this.

However, this time no one answered.

"Boss, didn't we agree to go to Japan tomorrow to help the war god Yu Mikami defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

"Early this morning, the God of War Hata Yui called again for help... If we don't go, I'm afraid the last stronghold in Japan will be destroyed by the sea monster."

"By then... War God Mikami and War God Hata Yui will really be homeless!"

Iceberg hung his head, looking helpless.

He really likes the excellent works of the two teachers, Yui Mikami.

Next to the iceberg, Yaorao looked at him coldly without saying anything.

flood:"……"

"Huh!! Japan is so big, but it actually needs a few women to ask me for help again and again. Chiba Issui and Yamamoto Issuki, the two gods of war, are really doing a great job!!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Hong's eyes, and he gave up the idea of ​​going to Daxia to find Lin Ye.

"Then let's deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Beast Tide first, and then go to Daxia to meet this genius war god... If he is willing, he can choose any position below the leader of my Extreme Mercenary Group!"

"Boss, this doesn't have to be the case, does it?"

"He's just a junior war god. I can knock down a bunch of them with one hand!"

Bingshan asked doubtfully. He didn't quite understand his instructor's decision.

"Humph!"

With a light snort, Hong looked at the man in the golden armor and mask with some regret, "How old are you now?"

"Thirty-six!"

"How old is Lin Ye?"

"Ten...seventeen!!" Iceberg opened his mouth wide enough to swallow the egg and lowered his head in shame.

Having said that, Hong did not ask any more questions.

He looked at Lin Ye, who was killing wildly in the beast tide, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... A seventeen-year-old warrior is much stronger than I was back then!"

"If he is trained by me, it will be easy for him to surpass Lei Guangtou in the next five to ten years. What's more, he is also a spiritualist..."

……

"Ha~yawn~"

"Which guy is saying bad things about me? I'll smash your head off for you!!"

Thor rubbed his nose and spat softly.

Then he soaked most of his body in the big bathtub again.

He raised his phone and watched the video sent by Huang Shaoying, and said with a smile:
“If I were to teach Lin Ye, the genius war god, how to practice martial arts that integrates nature and man, it would be just a matter of time before he surpasses old man Hong!!”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bursts of hearty laughter broke out, and the whole villa shook slightly.

The two guards at the door looked at each other, both with helplessness in their eyes.

……

Kyoto, Shanshui Community.

The name is very ordinary, but it is the first high-end residential area built after the Great Xia disaster.

The entire community is made up of independent single-family villas, surrounded by lush pine, cypress and bamboo.

In this era of disaster, it is a place of residence that is worth a fortune.

the reason is simple.

This community is less than 500 meters away from the Gyeonggi Garrison Headquarters.

however.

Shanshui Community was not sold to the public, but was purchased entirely by the military.

Rewards are given to warriors and soldiers who have made great contributions in fighting the beast tide.

Once they die, the houses will be inherited by their immediate family members.

It’s noon this day.

A military green SUV with a license plate number NO.1 slowly drove past the gatekeeper and headed towards the center of Shanshui Community.

The off-road vehicle slowly stopped until it reached the destination villa.

The driver's seat and the co-pilot's door opened at the same time, and two burly middle-aged men walked out.

Two of Daxia's three high-level war gods - Ma Qingfeng and Jia Yi.

The two looked at each other, pushed open the door and went up the stairs.

After passing through the atrium, we finally stopped at an artificial lake.

The artificial lake is neither big nor small.

The lake water is extremely clear and is surrounded by tracts of green bamboo.

Jia Yi and the other man took deep breaths of the fresh air, and their faces gradually relaxed.

By the lake, an old man was fishing, using a bamboo pole to tie his fishing line, with a serene look on his face.

Jia Yi stood beside Ma Qingfeng, looking at the old man who was the guardian of Daxia, and felt extremely at peace.

On the other hand, Ma Qingfeng was the same, with a smile on his face.

The two men strode towards the old man.

Although the old man stared at the lake, he was aware of the two people approaching. "Qingfeng, Xiaoyi, you are here!"

There was no dignity in the old man's words, and he exuded a gentle aura.

"Master is still so sharp-eyed and sharp-eared!"

"Nonsense! I've taught you for decades, and now I know what you want to do just by moving your mouth!" the old man said with a smile.

Behind him, Jia Yi and Ma Qingfeng, two Great Xia war gods, stood with their heads bowed, looking very well-behaved.

"Took the bait!"

Suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up and the fishing line became taut.

A foot long fish broke out of the water and landed on the shore.

The fish's entire body is crystal clear, and you can see its bones and blood. It also has long whiskers.

"Heat the pot and heat the oil!"

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, Jia Yi and the other man immediately got busy.

Those who are making fire are making fire, and those who are cleaning the pot are cleaning the pot.

Soon, a large pot of fragrant whitebait soup was served on the stone table next to it.

After Jia Yi filled a bowl of white fish soup for the old man, the three of them ate and chatted.

"Why are there only two of you coming to see me this time? Where is Tianya?" The old man spat out a fish bone and asked in a low voice.

"Long Tianya went to the Northwest Fortress and Chang'an Fortress successively, and found the spirits of plants and trees near the Qinling Mountains."

Ma Qingfeng took a big sip and told everything about Long Tianya.

"The spirit of the plants and trees in the Qinling Mountains?"

The old man has white hair and a youthful face, and he has an ethereal aura.

But the only drawback is that the old man’s life breath is as weak as a candle flame, flickering.

"Yes!" The two nodded, and then briefly talked about the spirits of plants and trees.

After talking about the spirits of plants and trees, Jia Yi mentioned the battle record of the new god of war Lin Ye.

He took out the tablet he had prepared and played some videos for the old man.

"Master, look, this is the battle scene of Lin Ye that we filmed!"

"Don't look at him as he is only seventeen years old, but he fights fiercely and his mental power is also very strong..."

Jia Yi kept introducing the old man to things about Lin Ye.

The old man quietly watched the young man in the video, with a hint of divine light flashing across his sharp eyes.

"He has learned the seventh strike of my Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath?"

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes wide, looking a little bit unbelieving.

He swiped the screen lightly with his finger and played the clip again.

"This kid... has such a wicked understanding!!"

Jia Yi and Ma Qingfeng looked at each other, both with different expressions.

The fact that the old man described Lin Ye as a "monster" was enough to show how terrifying Lin Ye's talent and understanding were.

"Yes, according to Xu Yong's information, it only took this kid three or four days to master the "Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath" created by his master."

elder:"……"

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Every generation has its own talented people, and each generation is better than the last!"

The old man shook his head with emotion, but a look of relief and satisfaction appeared on his face.

"This young God of War Lin Ye will achieve great success in the future, but..."

As he spoke, the old man put down the bowl of soup, his eyes dimmed, "It's a pity... my life energy is only enough to burst out once, otherwise I could teach him the last three cuts of the Ten Cuts of Absolute Breath with actual combat."

Hearing this, Jia Yi and Ma Qingfeng both showed a trace of heartache on their faces.

"Tell him one thing, whether it's the Nine Blossom Art or the Absolute Breath Ten Slashes, they are just external forces to assist..."

"As long as your own strength is strong enough, you can easily kill the enemy even without the help of any moves, so you must do everything you can to improve the strength of your physical body in order to reach the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Got it!" Jia Yi and Ma Qingfeng nodded at the same time.

"And one more thing!"

The old man stood up and walked towards the lake, saying as he walked: "If you have the chance, you and Tianya should train this young god of war together.

"Lin Ye is a promising talent, perhaps even better than Hong and Lei Shen."

"These two people only saw the swords I slashed in the Demon City, and they realized their own path, successfully surpassing the God of War and reaching another new level of life..."

The old man's words were full of loneliness, and at the same time, full of longing and helplessness for that level of life.

"Master, are you really unable to take that last half step?" Jia Yi asked unwillingly.

"I am no longer able to do this. The sword strikes I made during the battle of Demon City consumed most of my life force. Now I can only barely maintain my life until that day comes..."

"Even the latest genetic energy cultivation method... is not effective?" Ma Qingfeng asked.

“……” The old man did not answer, but just looked at the calm lake and shook his head gently.

He didn't say anything, and Ma Qingfeng and Jia Yi naturally didn't say anything either.

The latter two looked at the calm lake and couldn't help but think of the turbulent defense battle of the Demon City three years ago.

It was this old man named Mo Qingdi who slashed out countless times at the risk of his life.

In the desperate situation, one of the three king-level monsters that attacked the Magic Fortress died, one was injured, and one escaped.

If it weren't for his action, the defense of the Magic City would have collapsed completely.

Under the attack of countless sea monsters, the entire southern part of Daxia will also be in great danger...

After that battle, the old man's sword was known as "King Slayer" all over the world.

But it was also that battle that consumed at least 90% of the old man's vitality...

Just like that, the three of them looked at the lake quietly without saying a word.

The breeze blew gently, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

This scene is very similar to the uneasy hearts of Jia Yi and Ma Qingfeng.

a long time.

Mo Qingdi said, "Have all the major fortresses been informed of the counterattack in the Demon City?"

"Yes! We were notified during the God of War meeting this morning." The two nodded.

"Okay, Daxia needs time to build a base city, so we must fight this battle and weaken the strength of the sea monsters on a large scale."

The old man withdrew his gaze, looked at Jia Yi and Ma Qingfeng, and asked solemnly:

"You guys, are you all ready?"

In response to the old man's question, the two strongest men in Daxia looked at each other and said seriously: "We are ready and can sacrifice at any time!"

"fart!"

The old man cursed with some disappointment.

"You are the leaders and commanders of Daxia, you must not sacrifice yourself!"

"If you want to sacrifice... then sacrifice someone like this old man who is still hanging on to his last breath!"

"I've lived three more years... I also want to see those old brothers sooner..."

Listening to the old man's words which seemed to be talking to himself, the two high-level war gods remained silent.

They knew that they could not change their master's mind, nor could they stop his actions.

The only thing I can do is...

Watching this old man burn up all his energy and spirit to strike out with that final blow...
