More than an hour later, when they saw the outline of the city in the distance, the members of the War Soul Squad finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, is Anshan City just ahead?" someone asked.

"Um."

Qin Jin nodded, looking ahead, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Along the way, they encountered many dangers and were nearly surrounded by ferocious beasts. Fortunately, each of them had teleportation items, which saved them from certain death.

But once they entered Anshan City, the situation changed.

No matter how many ferocious beasts attack, they will fight to the end. Unless Anshan City falls or Chairman Li gives up, deserting in the face of battle will not be an option when they return.

"We've finally arrived. It wasn't easy," someone remarked.

"Yes, it's over a thousand kilometers, and we arrived in two hours. Once we get to the city, I'm definitely going to take a nice bath and have a delicious meal," the green-haired woman said with a grin.

"Dream on." The man next to him sneered. "Once we get into the city, we have to find that Chairman Li first. If he assigns us tasks right away, we probably won't even have time to rest. You're still thinking about taking a bath?"

"Really? So heartless?"

"alright."

Qin Jin glanced at them speechlessly.

These guys have absolutely no idea what they're about to encounter.

"Let's go, let's enter the city first."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward.

The group quickly followed, and as they walked, they discovered that the surrounding land was covered with craters. With their experience, they immediately recognized them as bomb craters, indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

Besides the craters, there were all sorts of footprints, some tens of centimeters long, some a meter or two long, and some several meters long, spreading out from behind them and towards the front, densely packed.

"It seems there really was a beast tide here." Someone in the group took a deep breath and said, "It wasn't small-scale, at least over 100,000."

"More than 100,000. It seems that Chairman Li did not lie to us. Moreover, judging from these footprints on the ground, there are more than 3,000 elite-level ferocious beasts."

"Look, such a large beast tide seems to have only advanced to the city wall and then couldn't go any further, right? Because there are no signs of damage on the city wall."

"So, that means over 200,000 ferocious beasts were repelled without even touching the city walls?"

The others all looked surprised.

They originally thought that although Anshan City had withstood the first wave of beast tides, it must have suffered considerable losses. However, judging from the current situation, it was clearly unscathed.

A question arose in their minds.

How exactly did Chairman Li and his partner manage to do that?

The group arrived at a pile of ruins.

It's clear that this place used to be a gathering place, but it was wiped out by the beast tide.

Amidst the ruins, several paths have been cleared, leading to the city gate.

As the group arrived at the city gate, several guards cautiously approached. "Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Qin Jin?"

"I am."

Qin Jin spoke up.

"Hello Mr. Qin, when Chairman Li entered the city, he asked me to tell you that after entering the city, you can go directly to the Awakened Association."

"it is good."

Qin Jin nodded.

"plz follow me."

The guard gestured for them to proceed, and then walked forward.

Qin Jin and his group followed behind, looking around at the small city.

It must be said that the first impression of Anshan City is quite good; it is well-organized and orderly.

"Friends, your Anshan City has just been attacked by a beast horde, hasn't it?"

Qin Jin asked with a smile.

"yes."

The guard leading the way sighed and said, "For some reason, the beast tide suddenly broke out. We were completely unprepared. Fortunately, with our Chairman Li here, the hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts attacking our Anshan City were all wiped out."

His tone carried a sense of pride.

"Hundreds of thousands? Didn't you say it was over two hundred thousand?" the green-haired woman muttered.

"Hehehe, it's definitely over two hundred thousand. Anyway, it's a lot for us. Standing on the city wall, it's just a dark expanse."

"So how did your Chairman Li manage to do that?" the red-haired woman asked, voicing her most pressing question.

The others in the group pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"That's impressive."

The guard licked his lips, looking longingly at the scene. "At that time, the beast tide had already reached the city walls and was about to break into the city. Chairman Li stood alone on the city wall and summoned thousands of flying swords in one breath, killing the ferocious beasts below the city without leaving a single one alive."

"What? A flying sword?"

"Summoning thousands of flying swords in one go?"

The group of people were stunned when they heard this.

"I'm not lying to you."

The guard quickly explained, "He really did summon over a thousand flying swords in one go. Oh, no, it seems he summoned them twice more afterward, but that's not the point. The point is, those flying swords seemed to have eyes; they killed several ferocious beasts with a single strike."

Even those elite-level ferocious beasts were slain with a single strike by the flying sword summoned by Chairman Li. It was truly astonishing. To tell you the truth, we all secretly call Chairman Li the Sword Immortal. Of course, I only dare to tell you this; when you see the Chairman later, please don't tell him I said this.

Qin Jin and his group looked at each other, staring at each other blankly.

What is all this about?

Isn't that Chairman Li an Awakened One?

The superpower he awakened seems to be increasing speed, right?

This is also why they guessed that they were left far behind on the road.

But how come the opponent summoned thousands of flying swords in one go and killed more than 200,000 ferocious beasts without leaving a single one alive?

Moreover, judging from the guards' words, it seems that Li Ping was the only one making moves from beginning to end? But didn't Chairman Han say that this Chairman Li also had a few helpers?

"Gentlemen, the Awakened Ones Association has arrived. I can only take you this far." The guard suddenly stopped and smiled apologetically.

After all, he was just an ordinary martial artist, and he usually didn't dare to go near this place.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Jin gave him a polite smile, then led the group behind him forward.

If he wasn't mistaken, someone would be looking for them as soon as they entered.

In fact, the same is true.

As soon as the group entered the hall, a man approached them and asked, "Excuse me, are you here to see our Chairman Li?"

"good."

Qin Jin responded.

"Okay, please follow me."

The man led them to the outside of an office and knocked on the door.

"President, I've brought the person."

"it is good."

An unfamiliar voice came from inside the room.

Qin Jin and the others exchanged glances.

This voice doesn't sound like Chairman Li, does it? Although he's taciturn, they couldn't possibly be this bad.

Could it be that this person has led them to the wrong place?

"Click."

With a soft sound, Hua Jun appeared in front of them.

"You can go now."

He addressed the man, then looked at Qin Jin and the others, and smiled, "Gentlemen, please come in and talk."

The others all turned their attention to Qin Jin.

"it is good."

Qin Jin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and went inside.

Six teacups were already set on the coffee table, clearly indicating that the other party already knew they were coming.

Seeing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems they haven't been led to the wrong place, and what Chairman Li said earlier was true; something urgent has probably happened in Anshan City.

"Please have a seat, everyone."

Hua Jun smiled and poured water into the teacups in front of them as he said, "I am Hua Jun, the vice president of the Anshan City Awakened Association. The president has some urgent matters to attend to, so he entrusted me to entertain you all here. Please don't mind."

"How could that be?"

Qin Jin smiled slightly and said, "When we were on the way, Chairman Li gave us a heads-up. To be honest, we are not as skilled as him and cannot keep up with his speed. By the way, what is it that Chairman Li is so anxious to deal with? Would it be convenient for you to tell us? Because we came here from Juque City this time to help Chairman Li and defend Anshan City together."

"What?"

Hua Jun was startled and glanced at the group. "You're from... Juque City?"

Juque City, that's a huge city! It's a place that countless people, including Awakened Ones, dream of visiting.

These people in front of me are actually Awakened Ones from the City of Giant Sword?

Their strength? They're definitely not C-rank Awakeners, they're at least B-rank, right? There might even be A-rank Awakeners among them!

"Of course, we are all Awakened Ones from the City of Giants, and we are all Rank B," the green-haired woman said proudly.

"They're all... all B-grade?"

Hua Jun gasped in shock.

His guess was right. None of the awakened ones in front of him were weak. Any one of them could become the city lord of a small city.

He was currently only a C-level Awakener, and his combat strength was not outstanding, so he immediately felt immense pressure.

"take it easy."

Qin Jin saw through his thoughts and smiled, "It seems that Chairman Li left in a hurry and didn't have time to talk to you much about us, Chairman Hua. But you don't need to think too much about it. Just treat us as comrades-in-arms. Besides, if we're really talking about it, Chairman Li is the one who really puts pressure on people."

"This is alright."

Hua Jun was both amused and exasperated. "Actually, our president is a very easy person to get along with. Don't let his quiet demeanor fool you; he's very generous to us subordinates. For example, not long ago, he gifted me a Celestial Fruit worth 50,000 points."

"Really?" Qin Jin and the others were all surprised.

For them, 50,000 points is not too difficult to obtain.

However, it still feels quite painful to give away so many points to someone else all at once.

But thinking about it, it's understandable, because that person currently has at least five or six million points. For an average A-level Awakener, having one million points is already quite remarkable.

"cough."

Qin Jin coughed, realizing the topic had strayed a bit, and quickly steered it back, "President Hua, as we said before, we're comrades-in-arms with the same goal, so could you tell us about President Li?"

"sure."

Hua Jun hurriedly said, "The guild leader had us start collecting information about the situation in the nearby cities since the beast tide broke out."

"Oh?"

The group was somewhat surprised, but then they all nodded in agreement.

Chairman Li certainly has a long-term vision.

Most people would only be focused on their own little world and wouldn't have the time or inclination to pay attention to the situation in the surrounding cities.

"And then?" Qin Jin asked.

"Then, after the guild leader learned that Yufeng City was under attack by a beast tide and that several thousand burrowing beasts had appeared in the city, he immediately rushed over."

"Yufeng City?"

"Is Yufeng City under attack by a beast horde?"

"So, Chairman Li went to rescue Yufeng City?"

In an instant, the shock on their faces reached an unprecedented level.

Therefore, the urgent matter that Chairman Li mentioned is not an urgent matter in Anshan City, but in other cities?

But isn't he the president of the Anshan City Awakened Association? Why is he going to rescue others at a time like this?

"Yes."

Hua Jun took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

In fact, he had a premonition that the guild leader was likely after those thousands of burrowing beasts.

This morning, a group of burrowing beasts appeared in the city. Although no one was injured, it did cause a lot of panic.

These burrowing beasts obviously didn't appear out of thin air; they most likely came from other places.

The guild leader went to Yufeng City, probably to eliminate these guys and prevent them from conquering Yufeng City and then coming to Anshan City.

However, even though the guild leader only killed those few thousand burrowing beasts and ignored the others, it greatly eased the situation in Yufeng City.

Based on his understanding of the chairman, the latter is likely to be a good Samaritan who sees things through to the end.

"Chairman Li, he..."

Qin Jin's mouth was half open, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The rest of the group also fell silent.

The slight dissatisfaction I had felt earlier vanished without a trace at this moment.

"Yufeng City, is that right?"

At that moment, Qin Jin made up his mind.

"It's quite dangerous for Chairman Li to go alone. Since we're here to lend him a hand, we should naturally help him in this situation."

"The captain is right, a beast tide, hehe, to be honest, I've been looking forward to it the whole way."

"Let's go, Captain, there's no time to lose."

The other members of the team also chimed in.

"President Hua, we'll take our leave now."

"Hey, Brother Qin, don't rush."

Hua Jun panicked and quickly stood up to stop them, saying, "Brother Qin, don't worry. The chairman instructed that when you arrive, he would give you this letter. You can read it first and then go."

"letter?"

"Chairman Li's letter?"

The group of people were taken aback.

Then I realized that this really was that person's style of doing things.

"Where's the letter? Let me see," Qin Jin said hurriedly.
