I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The northern defense line has a gap in section C3.

"boom!"

An alloy tower shield, as large as a door panel, slammed into the ground, smashing the brains of a second-tier sharp-toothed tiger that was trying to pounce on it.

Reggae was panting heavily, his face, which was usually as hard as rock, was now covered with sweat and blood.

The tower shield in his hand was deformed, its edges curled, and covered with horrifying scratches.

"Afei! The left side is missed! Cover it!"

The reggae roared, its voice hoarse as if two rusty iron pieces were rubbing against each other.

"What the hell are you talking about! I'm out of arrows!"

Not far away, Afei tumbled behind an abandoned bunker, narrowly avoiding a deadly wind blade.

One of the strings on his composite bow had snapped, and his quiver was empty.

At this moment, he held a spare dagger in his hand and looked at the horde of beasts surging in like a tide with a look of despair.

It was too tragic.

This is no ordinary beast tide.

This was nothing short of a premeditated massacre.

The original intelligence indicated "ten fourth-tier lords," but the actual number has at least doubled.

Moreover, these beasts seem to have learned to be smarter and have figured out tactical coordination.

Thick-skinned beasts stood in front as meat shields, agile creatures launched surprise attacks from the flanks, and ranged beasts that could spit venom and fireballs provided support from the rear.

Humanity's defenses were breached in several places within just half an hour.

Lin Qingyi's team was responsible for filling the C3 gap, which was under the most pressure.

"Pfft!"

A flash of bright light appeared.

Lin Qingyi's figure appeared in mid-air like a ghost, and the long sword in her hand precisely cut open the throat of a third-tier armored rhinoceros.

Hot blood gushed out, soaking her completely.

But she didn't bother to wipe it off.

Those clear, cold eyes now held only deep weariness and solemnity.

"Captain! We can't hold on any longer!"

Ah Fei shouted, his voice trembling with tears.

"Position 3 has fallen! All our brothers over there have been wiped out! The monsters are closing in on us!"

Lin Qingyi landed, stumbling as she went.

The continuous high-intensity bursts nearly depleted her spiritual energy.

She looked around.

The once fully-staffed defense squad is now reduced to just the three of them, struggling to hold on.

All around were the greedy and savage eyes of strange beasts.

It was lush and green, like a sea of ​​will-o'-the-wisps.

"withdraw……"

Lin Qingyi gritted her teeth and uttered the word with difficulty.

If we don't retreat now, they'll all die here.

however.

Just as she was about to give the order to retreat.

roar--!!!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the ruins on the flank.

Followed by.

A black afterimage tore through the smoke and dust like lightning.

It was a leopard-like beast with a slender body and covered in black scales.

Its speed was astonishing, leaving an afterimage in the air.

Peak of Tier 3!

Shadow Panther!

These strange beasts are natural assassins, best at taking the heads of generals amidst the chaos of battle.

Its target was none other than the exhausted reggae, which was facing away from it!

"Reggae! Watch out behind you!"

Lin Qingyi's pupils constricted sharply, and she let out a shrill scream.

She wanted to save them, but they were too far away.

Moreover, her sword had just slain the armored rhinoceros, its old power gone and new power yet to arise.

Reggae heard the warning.

As a seasoned veteran, his reaction was remarkably quick.

He instinctively wanted to turn around and raise his shield.

But this Shadow Panther had been plotting for a long time, and its timing was too ruthless.

Just as Reggae turned around...

The gleaming claw was less than half a meter from his throat.

The aura of death, like ice water, permeated Reggae's entire body.

It’s over.

At that moment, Reggae's mind went blank.

Ah Fei closed his eyes in despair.

Lin Qingyi's eyes were bloodshot, and the long sword in her hand even let out a mournful cry due to the excessive force.

At this critical moment.

Om-!

A faint yet extremely sharp whistling sound pierced the noise of the battlefield without warning.

Followed by.

puff!

A soft sound.

It's like cutting butter with a red-hot knife.

The shadow leopard, which was poised to pounce and whose eyes were filled with bloodlust, suddenly froze in mid-air.

There was a bloody hole between its eyebrows, which appeared out of nowhere.

They didn't even have time to scream.

This infamous, peak-level third-tier beast fell straight down from the sky like a bag of trash.

boom!

The corpse crashed down at Reggae's feet, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The sharp claw was less than ten centimeters away from Reggae's neck.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Reggae remained in the shield-raising pose, stiff as a statue.

He stared blankly at the corpse at his feet, his mind blank.

died?

The third-tier beast that almost killed him died so inexplicably.

"Who?!"

Lin Qingyi suddenly turned her head to look in the direction from which the attack was coming.

Above the smoke-filled ruins.

A tall, slender figure slowly walked out.

He was dressed in a rather thin black casual outfit, and he wasn't carrying any weapons; they were casually tucked into his pockets.

The strong wind tousled his black hair, revealing a young and aloof face.

Around his body.

Six black throwing knives, as thin as cicada wings, floated and moved silently, just like six obedient elves.

that moment.

Lin Qingyi was stunned.

Ah Fei opened his mouth wide, his jaw almost dislocated.

Even Reggae's big, round eyes were wide open at this moment.

"Shen...Shen Tian?!"

Ah Fei's voice became shrill and distorted, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What are you doing here?!"

Lin Qingyi's face instantly darkened, her initial shock turning into anger.

"Nonsense!"

"Who sent you?!"

"This is the front line! It's a meat grinder! Not some playground in the training room!"

Lin Qingyi strode forward, grabbed Shen Tian by the collar, and spoke in an extremely stern tone.

"Do you know what that was just now? That was a Shadow Panther! Peak Tier 3!"

"You, a newly advanced first-tier martial artist, are you coming to a place like this to die?!"

In this situation, even Lin Qingyi subconsciously refused to believe that Shen Tian had killed the Shadow Leopard just now.

Lin Qingyi believes that it was done by someone else.

Although Shen Tian is highly talented, he has only just obtained the technique to break through to the first level.

Even if you level up like a rocket, you'll only reach the early stage of Tier 1 at best.

On a battlefield where even second-tier martial artists are cannon fodder, his strength is simply not enough!

"Get back there right now!"

"Before the breach completely collapses, Reggae, take him with you!"

Lin Qingyi pushed Shen Tian, ​​trying to push him backward.

however.

Her hand was on Shen Tian's chest, but it felt like she was pushing against a towering mountain.

Not moving.

Shen Tian looked down at Lin Qingyi's face, which was flushed with anxiety and anger, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

That was his signature faint smile.

"Captain, don't get so angry."

Shen Tian gently patted Lin Qingyi's hand that was gripping his collar. The movement was gentle, yet carried an irresistible force, slowly removing her hand.

"Sending them to their deaths?"

Shen Tian turned around to face the horde of beasts surging towards him like a tidal wave.

His eyes changed at that moment.

It was no longer the usual indifference.

"Captain, are you implying something about my strength...?"

"What misunderstanding is there?"

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

A terrifying and suffocating mental fluctuation suddenly erupted from Shen Tian!

Second-rank Spiritual Master!

Full power output!

The six "Dark Night" throwing knives that were originally hovering around him instantly transformed into six streaks of light that were invisible to the naked eye.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The sharp whistling sounds blended together.

Within 50 meters ahead.

The dozen or so second-tier alien beasts that were roaring and charging forward suddenly stopped in unison.

next second.

Puff puff puff!

Blood blossoms bloom.

More than a dozen ferocious beast heads rolled off in unison, their cuts as smooth as a mirror.

This is not over yet.

Shen Tian made a fist with one hand and suddenly lifted it upwards.

The battlefield was littered with broken swords, shattered blades, and even fragments of shrapnel.

At this moment, it was as if I had been summoned by some unseen force.

Splash!

Hundreds of metal fragments floated up, forming a terrifying metal storm wall behind him.

"go."

Shen Tian's lips moved slightly, and he softly uttered a single word.

boom!

A metallic storm roared out.

It was like a giant meat grinder, crashing violently into the beast horde.

Wherever it went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs and broken arms filled the sky.

The previously precarious C3 gap was suddenly cleared out, creating a vacuum zone!

Lin Qingyi stared blankly at this scene.

She felt like her worldview had shattered.

This is... a first-tier martial artist?

Is this the newcomer who needs her protection?

"This is fucking..."

The dagger in Afei's hand clattered to the ground.

He looked at the figure standing amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, hands in pockets, not even a drop of blood on the hem of his clothes.

self-mumbling.

"Is this guy here to buy some goods?"
