Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 456 Hundred Battles
The innate sea monsters, who had been chasing Zhou Leng but couldn't catch up, cursed loudly, spitting out bubbles.

The sea monsters in the water came ashore one after another, forcing back the human warriors.

The two deceased were born into a powerful family; one was the grandson of a demigod family, and the other was a descendant of a demon noble. They were skilled in commanding battles and were far more important than ordinary monsters.

On that day, the sea monsters on the shore were heavily guarded, but the underwater camp remained largely unchanged.

At night, the siren's underwater camp.

A fish demon infiltrated the camp, and in its habitat, the demons were killed one by one with a single slash, as easily as grass, without making a sound.

Kill one, and collect it into the storage box.

Countless people were killed; the faint smell of blood alerted the camp, causing chaos.

Zhou Leng took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The sirens panicked for a moment, and then found nothing.

The seeds of panic have been sown.

Then, a large number of sea monsters began patrolling underwater.

Visibility underwater is much lower than on land.

Before long, one patrol of sea monsters after another disappeared.

The Siren leadership went completely mad, mobilizing all the Siren, forming large teams of a thousand, to search with all their might.

I spent the whole night searching, but I didn't find anything.

Zhou Leng had already fled.

Running away from the battlefield, Zhou Leng threw a large number of siren corpses in front of his hidden warrior teammates.

"You are dismantling important materials."

The eight innate martial artists stared at the sea monster corpses scattered on the ground. They wanted to say that they hadn't come here to be slaughtered, but then they realized that they seemed to have no other use than dismantling the sea monsters.

"What exactly happened? We saw you walking your dog on the battlefield yesterday with a drone, and then what?" Zhi asked.

Zhou Lengchong raised his chin at the sea monster corpse and said, "That's it. There are also some innate fish demon corpses. This place isn't suitable for cooked food; it'll be easy to be discovered. Let's eat some raw fish instead."

As Zhou Leng spoke, he took out a twelve-meter-long bluefish and threw it onto the grass; it was nearly as tall as a person.

"Hmm?" The team members looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng cut open the mask, revealing his mouth, took out the elven weapon, jumped onto the fish's body, peeled off a layer of scales and skin to reveal the crystal-clear fish flesh inside, and the back was dark red and bloody.

Her abdomen, however, was a mixture of white and pink, and translucent.

There was no fishy smell at all; instead, a faint aroma of meat wafted over.

"Just cut it with a knife."

Zhou Leng stood in front of the fish's belly, his sharp blade slicing off a thin, translucent, pinkish-white piece of raw fish, which he then put into his mouth.

It's crisp and chewy, making a satisfying crunching sound, and upon tasting, a subtle milky and oily aroma fills the mouth.

It falls into the stomach, transforms into a gentle warmth, and flows into the body.

Seeing that everyone was standing still, Zhou Leng said, "Innate fish demons don't have parasites, and even if they did, our innate bodies wouldn't be afraid. They taste good and are very nutritious."

Zhi Liao had never eaten like this before. She cut open her mask, stepped forward, cut off a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, chewed for a moment, swallowed, and soon her eyes lit up.

"Good stuff, it's really delicious and energizing, no less than the meat of monsters of the same level."

The other team members, seeing this with envy, stepped forward, brandishing their knives and feasting.

Zhou Leng fought underwater all night, and his physical strength and energy were greatly depleted. He ate a quarter of the food in a whirlwind.

The rest of the people ate a quarter of it.

There was half left, which Zhou Leng took.

"I'll rest for a bit, and when I wake up, I'll move to another location to avoid being discovered by the enemy."

The others kept watch, while Zhou Leng set up a simple tent, went into his sleeping bag, and lay down to sleep.

After waking up, the group disposed of the traces and entered the next dense forest.

Zhou Leng disguised himself as a sea monster or fish monster again, chasing and killing sea monsters on the battlefield, and then running away with the innate sea monsters.

They would occasionally sneak into the siren's camp to hunt down siren, killing a few and then running away, never lingering in battle.

For two consecutive days, the sirens were in complete chaos, making numerous mistakes in their attacks on humans.

Humans have been talking about this person for the past few days, but no one knows who he is, so they named him "Siren Killer".

Under Zhou Leng's pressure, the Siren Camp's defenses finally became tight.

Now, when sirens meet, they must speak sirens language; if they can't, they'll be killed on the spot.

Some sirens who didn't speak the proper language have already met their demise.

Another day passed, and a primordial demon, Rust Iron General, entered the camp, speaking in pure demonic language that he had come to help the siren deal with that despicable imposter.

The sirens were overjoyed and led the innate demon into the command center.

Three minutes later, the Molten Wall flashed, and the heads of the three innate sea monsters in charge of command fell to the ground.

Amidst the hissing sound of gushing blood, and in the eyes of the siren who had gone from bewilderment to rage, Zhou Leng leaped out of the command post, brandishing his legendary greatsword, and charged towards the siren.

The same scene repeated itself.

All the monsters and humans saw it.

Today it's changed. It's no longer about siren killing siren, it's about demons killing siren.

As the killing continued, the illusion dissipated.

"Still a siren killer!"

The siren's position was in chaos, and the human race once again coordinated to launch a counterattack.

Brothers from the mountains and rivers are at the forefront.

Shanhe Oak whispered, "Brother, why do I feel like this person looks a lot like Zhou Leng?"

"I think it's similar too. The eyes, the movements, it's so similar. But Zhou Leng doesn't use a knife. This is a legendary greatsword. Where did he get it?"

"Don't expose him yet, ask him later if it's true or not."

Zhou Leng fought for a while, then fled again.

This time, the sea monsters were prepared, sending out innate giant worms known for their speed to pursue them. However, Zhou Leng used the Heavenly Dragon Flash, a lightness skill from the Ancient River Sect, to his fullest extent, fusing his body movement and footwork into one, making him so fast that even the innate giant worms couldn't keep up.

In the afternoon, a bloody war chariot rampaged through the siren's territory, brandishing its blade in a chaotic slaughter.

That night, a candle-bearer went on a rampage, brandishing a knife.

The sirens were nearly driven to despair.

Now, not only can we not trust sirens, but we can't even trust demons.

The siren drove away the demons at the command center and only maintained remote communication.

The demons, orcs, and giant insects expressed their understanding and offered their condolences and sympathy.

The orc camp was bombed early the next morning.

A demon skilled in swordsmanship slaughtered all five innate commanders in the command room, ran out of the camp, jumped into Taihu Lake, and disappeared.

In the afternoon, a green-skinned orc suddenly went berserk on the battlefield, killing several innate beings in succession. Then, its figure blurred, revealing the figure of the famous siren assassin.

The orcs also broke down.

Because this siren killer could actually speak orc language, and some of his sentences were spoken with perfect fluency.

None of the orcs' methods could be detected.

The orc camp was in a state of constant fear and was forced to call in a demon warlock.

After all, demon warlocks all have illusion-breaking spells.

On the way to meet the demon warlock, an orc suddenly attacked, slaughtering the unsuspecting demon warlock before turning and fleeing.

Upon receiving the message, the demon commander helplessly said, "You orcs, solve your own problems."

Another day passed, and in the morning, the monster army finally received some good news.

The siren assassin disguised himself as a giant insect, but he was exposed because the giant insects communicated using peculiar pheromones.

The monsters breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, a queen ant was killed, and even her body was taken away. The murderer was the siren killer.

The investigation revealed that this human was covered in the dazzling insect juice of an unknown legendary ant queen, indicating a very high status, which fooled the other giant ants.

Queen ants are rare and precious among giant insects; this army of giant insects has only one queen ant.

The demons' high command was furious and convened a joint meeting.

They stood in the open field, each a hundred meters apart, in four directions, their eyes filled with vigilance, talking loudly.

The scene was captured by a human-made, monstrous drone, and the drone operator almost died laughing.

In a dense forest.

Zhou Leng said, "No need to be polite, drink more. This is queen ant juice, which is between brilliant ant juice and ordinary ant juice."

As Zhou Leng spoke, he drank in large gulps.

I only drank a basinful, but my stomach was already bulging and my whole body was full of energy.

After a long silence, Zhi asked, "Siren Killer, Orc Killer, Illusion Killer... have you been the only one these past few days?"

“There shouldn’t be anyone else.” Zhou Leng said as he took out the giant insect’s corpse. “You guys take care of it.”

“By the way…” Zhou Leng added, “If you find a Grandmaster, be sure to remind me.”

Zhi Liao said, "Don't worry, the Grandmaster won't get involved."

Zhou Leng asked, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"It should be soon. How many Xiantian cultivators have you killed?"

“I forgot to calculate it,” Zhou Leng said.

The madman whispered, "They wouldn't have killed a hundred, would they? That would make him a hero of a hundred battles."

Everyone turned to look at Zhou Leng, and even Zhou Leng's heart stirred.

“That’s quite possible,” Zhou Leng said.

Being a battle-hardened hero is the highest honor for humankind.

The task is to kill hundreds of innate enemies single-handedly in a single battle.

There are only seventeen naturally born heroes in history, each of whom was a renowned combat hero.

The Dragon Kingdom hasn't produced a new Innate Hundred Battle Hero for several years. The most recent one was Chen Shouhu five years ago, and he was a Great Innate Realm expert who basically bullied the weak.

The cicada said, "Monkey King, I think it's about time. If nothing unexpected happens, the demons have already begun to lay a trap, waiting for you to take it. Those demons will definitely have a way to stop you."

"Don't worry, I expected this. Let's see how things go first."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they were unwilling to see their battle-hardened hero perish before their very eyes.

Weaver Girl said, "Thanks to your disturbance, the demon army was thrown into chaos and lost its will to fight. In the past few days, the number of casualties in the human camp has decreased significantly, and many people have also gotten enough rest."

The cicada said, "We'll rest today and conserve our energy. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow. However, their numbers will be limited, and we may have to fight a fierce battle before we can break through the encirclement."

Zhou Leng nodded, relayed the intelligence, and then began to meditate and rest.

The next day, a large army arrived.

Led by the 3rd Brigade of the 7th Division, they led a total of 10,000 martial artists from all sides.

The human caravan, having received prior warning, was fully armed.

Two human armies simultaneously attacked the monster army from the north and south.

The demon army was well-prepared, with hidden giant insects and sea monsters all coming out to fight.

Having received intelligence from Zhou Leng in advance, the human army responded calmly.

The battle began, and the monsters, with their overwhelming numerical advantage, firmly divided the two armies.

Seeing that this was not working, Zhou Leng transformed into a fish demon once more, rushed into the open battlefield, and slaughtered indiscriminately.

A moment later, a demonic bird flew over and landed on Zhou Leng's shoulder.

The demon spirit master's voice rang out: "Sea monster assassin, be careful, some demons have already laid an ambush on you. According to our observation, they have deployed a full thirty eye demons skilled in illusion magic, originally intended to target human Grandmasters."
