High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Rumble!

The ground began to tremble slightly, and in the distant mountains and forests, billowing dust rose like a black tide, from which countless strange and monstrous beasts emerged! Wolves, leopards, snakes…

Their eyes were bloodshot, and they roared with bloodlust. They gathered into a destructive torrent and rushed towards the outpost!

"Prepare for battle!" Officer Zhang roared, drawing his sword. His blood and qi surged, and his combat power was around 1800 points.

Although the soldiers inside the outpost were pale, they acted without hesitation, quickly taking up advantageous positions, and their energy weapons began to charge, flashing with a dangerous light.

Yang Baichuan didn't make a move, but simply watched quietly. He said to Su Jie, "Go, be careful, and get a feel for the battlefield. Be aware that powerful commanders are often hidden within the beast tide."

Su Jie took a deep breath, suppressing the slight nervousness of facing the beast tide for the first time, replacing it with a boiling fighting spirit. His figure flashed, appearing like a ghost at the forefront of the outpost's perimeter wall.

Looking down at the densely packed, ferocious, roaring monsters, Su Jie's eyes turned icy.

"Take you all and test the power of my seventh-level martial acupoint!"

He didn't even use the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique," he simply threw a punch!

boom!

A surge of powerful blood energy burst forth from his body, transforming into a condensed fist-shaped aura that crashed into the horde of beasts like a cannonball!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wherever the fist's energy passed, seven or eight soldier-level demonic beasts with a combat power of around 1,000 points were instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist, like watermelons being crushed! A small area was cleared!

The power of that punch stunned the soldiers who were tensely preparing for battle.

"Holy crap! Who's that kid? He's that strong?"

"One punch...one punch and he blew up seven or eight Ironback Wolves?"

"This combat power must be at least 1500 points or more, right?!"

Lieutenant Zhang looked at Yang Baichuan in shock, but Yang Baichuan just smiled faintly, as if he had expected it.

Feeling the effect of that punch, Su Jie felt a surge of pride. He held back, moving swiftly along the wall, his fists beating like drums, unleashing streams of condensed fist energy that cleared a small space in the beast tide with each strike.

He was invincible, like a war god descended to earth, greatly relieving the pressure on the front of the outpost. The soldiers' morale soared, and their battle cries shook the heavens.

Just as the beast tide's offensive was initially contained, a sudden change occurred!

"hiss--!"

A sharp, piercing howl rang out from behind the beast horde, and three enormous blue wolves, each significantly larger and surrounded by swirling winds, leaped out from the crowd.

Their eyes were an eerie silver-white, and the aura they emitted was a staggering 2000 points or more!

"It's the leader of the Wind Wolves!" Officer Zhang's expression changed drastically.

Two of the wind wolf leaders pounced directly on Su Jie, moving with lightning speed, their claws tearing through the air with a hissing sound.

"Well done!" Su Jie was not surprised but delighted. He used the "Sky-Stepping Step" and his body moved like a dragon, skillfully avoiding the pounce of the two wind wolves. At the same time, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and the artistic concept of the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique" was integrated into his finger movements. He pointed one finger at the weak point of the waist and abdomen of one of the wind wolves.

puff!

The sharp energy contained in his fingertips pierced through the wind wolf's tough fur, spraying blood everywhere. The wind wolf cried out in pain.

Another wind wolf seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from the side, its blood-red mouth biting towards Su Jie's neck.

Without even looking, Su Jie threw a backhand punch, striking Wolf Kiss hard despite being slower than it was!

Click!

A sickening cracking sound rang out as the wind wolf's muzzle was smashed open, and it flew backward with a howl.

Just as Su Jie was preparing to press his advantage and finish off the two wounded wind wolf leaders, the third wind wolf leader, who was also the strongest and had a combat power of nearly 2300 points, did not join the attack. Instead, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly pounced on a weakly defended area on the side of the outpost.

Su Jie's eyes turned cold, and he moved swiftly, breaking free from the entanglement and blocking the way for the leader of the wind wolves with even greater speed.

"roll!"

With a cold shout, Su Jie unleashed a punch containing over 2800 points of combat power, striking the head of the Wind Wolf leader without any fancy moves!

"Bang!"

Like a watermelon bursting open, the head of the wind wolf leader, whose combat power was close to 2000 points, was directly smashed by the violent force. The headless corpse crashed to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

Instant kill!

Seeing this, the other two wounded wind wolf leaders let out terrified whimpers and tried to flee with their tails between their legs. Su Jie would not allow them to escape. He used the "Sky-Stepping Step" to catch up and easily finished off the two of them with both his fingers and palms.

With their leader killed, the remaining monsters were thrown into chaos and quickly scattered and retreated under the soldiers' counterattack.

The beast tide receded, leaving behind a scene of devastation. The soldiers silently cleared the battlefield, collecting the bodies of their fallen comrades; the air was thick with sorrow and exhaustion.

Standing on the wall, Su Jie felt the surging power within him and, for the first time, truly experienced the cruelty of war and the fragility of life.

Just then, a sharp, mournful cry, completely out of place with the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield, broke the silence.

"Qiang! Hui! No—! You can't die! You promised to protect me! Waaaaah..."

Su Jie looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman dressed in an overly clean, even fashionable "tactical uniform" lying on the corpses of two young men, crying her heart out.

Her delicate makeup was ruined by tears and a few drops of blood, and she was still clutching a damaged piece of special equipment with a live streaming PTZ function.

Su Jie recognized the woman as "Adventure Rose," a popular online celebrity who had recently gained some fame on a cloud platform, using the exploration of borderlands and "experience" of martial arts life as her selling points.

Clearly, she and her boyfriend and brother from her team risked everything to come to this real border front in order to gain traffic, but paid a heavy price.

"Adventure Rose" suddenly raised her head, her eyes, which were originally used to smile sweetly at the camera, were now filled with bloodshot veins and insane resentment.

Her gaze swept frantically through the crowd, finally settling like a poisoned dagger on Su Jie, who had just turned the tide.

It was him! The one with immense strength who killed the demon beast leader as if he were a god descending to earth!

If he hadn't gone to kill the wolf kings first, but instead come to rescue their team, her boyfriend and brother wouldn't have died!

The grief of losing a loved one and the fear that his livestreaming career might be over mixed together into a twisted sense of resentment.

She struggled to her feet and charged at Su Jie like a madwoman. To everyone's astonishment, she pointed at Su Jie's nose and let out a blood-curdling scream:

"Why?! You're so amazing! Why didn't you come to save us first?! If you had come to save us first, Ah-Qiang and Xiao-Hui wouldn't have died!"

"It was you! You killed them! You cold-blooded executioner! Give me back my A-Qiang! Give me back my Xiao-Hui!"
