High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

"Get ready to retreat."

After a long pause, the city lord of Yufeng City spoke.

My men are right. Knowing the outcome, continuing would only increase casualties.

It would be better to conserve our strength and go somewhere else.

The people behind him exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

The city lord finally made a decision: they wouldn't have to die here today.

"No rush to retreat."

Just then, an unfamiliar voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange man who had appeared on the side at some point.

"Who are you?"

The city lord of Yufeng City was taken aback, frowned, and sized up the person in front of him.

If he remembered correctly, this spot hadn't been occupied before.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things."

Chen Fan looked into the city and said, "Leave the ferocious beasts inside to me. You just need to hold off the ferocious beasts outside the city."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to say anything, he headed straight into the city.

If these people cooperate, that would be best. After he finishes dealing with the burrowing beasts in the city, he will also step in to relieve some of their pressure.

It's okay if you don't cooperate; it'll just be a little more troublesome.

"this?"

Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"Who is this guy? Where did he come from? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't recognize him. I don't think I've ever seen him before."

"I don't know him either."

"I also."

Several people shook their heads in succession.

"We don't even know him, and he talks to us like that? Who does he think he is?" someone muttered in dissatisfaction.

A person of unknown origin is teaching them how to do things?

Does he really think he's someone important?

"If you ask me, could he be from another city, coming to help us?" someone asked curiously.

"Coming to our aid from elsewhere? That's impossible! Didn't we just hear that headquarters, and several surrounding medium-sized cities, are unwilling to offer assistance?"

"Yeah, besides, even if there really are reinforcements, it's impossible. It's just one person, right? What can one person do? It's better if they don't come at all."

"Yeah, yeah."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the current situation, sending a team of B-level Awakened might be useful, but what good would sending just one person do? It's more like sending a lamb to the slaughter.

Another thing that really annoyed people was that the guy who came was very arrogant, acting like he was their superior.

"Lord, shall we leave quickly?"

Someone urged.

The city lord of Yufeng City hesitated for a moment.

His intuition told him that the person he had just met was no ordinary person; the fact that he could appear right under everyone's noses without anyone noticing was enough to demonstrate his strength.

But reason told him that it was too risky to place his hopes on someone of unknown origin.

"City Lord?"

Two or three more voices rang out.

"Let's wait and see."

The city lord of Yufeng City spoke up, "In any case, they came to support us. If we turn around and leave at this time, it would be unreasonable and illogical, wouldn't it?"

"this……"

"But, Lord City Lord, we can't let all of us be stuck here just because of him, can we?"

"Yes, Lord City Lord, if all else fails, we can send a few people over to bring him back."

Everyone offered their advice, one after another.

"Wait a little longer."

The city lord of Yufeng City said in an unquestionable tone, "Let's wait a while longer. If he can really do what he says and improve the situation in the city, we will continue to hold on. If he can't hold on for long, we will prepare to withdraw."

After he finished speaking, no one present, no matter how bad their expression was, dared to say anything more.

Even though he was cursing Chen Fan to death in his heart.

"Boom!"

The sound of gunfire continued.

Inside the city, less than a third of the dozen or so Awakened Ones who had fought the three-headed earth dragon remained, and even those who were left were all wounded.

The three-headed earth dragon lost only one head; the remaining two were injured, thus greatly increasing its ferocity.

One of them swept its giant tail across, and an awakened being who couldn't dodge in time was instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist. Several tall buildings not far away were also snapped in half.

Countless pebbles rained down, smashing many ferocious beasts in the vicinity into mincemeat.

"No!"

The remaining four or five people were terrified upon seeing this.

"No, I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Finally, someone could no longer bear the pressure and fled into the distance without looking back.

"Ren Xin!"

The remaining people were horrified.

"Captain, why don't we run away too?"

"Yes, Captain, if this continues, we'll all lose our lives here."

"Be careful!"

Just then, another earth dragon opened its huge mouth and attacked.

Just at the critical moment, a huge blade of light fell, cleaving the sixteen or seventeen-meter-long earth dragon in two with a single stroke.

Fresh blood gushed out from the fracture, reaching a height of twenty or thirty meters.

The front half of the earth dragon's body fell to the ground with a thud, convulsing wildly from the intense pain.

"this?"

The group was completely taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

"roar!"

The remaining twenty-meter-long earth dragon was enraged, opened its mandibles, and attacked a figure not far away.

However, what greeted it was still a dazzling flash of light.

The blade sliced ​​through the earth dragon's body in two, like a hot knife through butter, from front to back, just like a burst water pipe, with blood gushing out from every part of it.

"boom!"

With a mournful cry, the earth dragon's two halves fell to the ground.

At the same time, another blade of light fell, slaying the struggling earth dragon on the ground.

"..."

The people on the ground stared wide-eyed at a figure on a tall building not far away.

Are they dreaming?

The three-headed earth dragon that nearly wiped them out was killed in front of them in just a breath or two.

Even if those two earth dragons were injured, they couldn't have died so easily, could they?

The next second, the other person disappeared from their sight.

"Captain, Captain," one of the awakened beings looked at the corpses on the ground and said in disbelief, "We...we're saved?"

"Okay, it seems so." The man being questioned nodded mechanically.

"My god, he annihilated a commander-level ferocious beast in an instant! Just how strong is that guy? Could he be an A-rank Awakened?"

"What! An A-rank Awakened! Yes, that's right, only an A-rank Awakened has this strength."

"So, an A-rank Awakened has come to support us?"

The group trembled with excitement.

If that's the case, then they can be saved.

Not only them, but the entire Yufeng City might also be able to hold out.

Another place.

Dozens of warriors wielding swords and knives were surrounded by ferocious beasts.

Hundreds of ferocious beasts are launching a siege.

"It seems that we are all going to die here today."

Someone in the group said with a wry smile.

As members of the city, they naturally could not remain unaffected.

However, the number of ferocious beasts was simply too great.

At first, their numbers exceeded three hundred, including many martial artists at the True Essence Realm and the Meridian Refining Realm. However, as time passed, some died, some were injured, and some went missing. In the end, only they remained together.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of swords rang out.

Thousands of flying swords, like a long river, flew down from the sky, engulfing hundreds of ferocious beasts in their wake.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Each sound was accompanied by the arrival of several ferocious beasts.

A few breaths later, all the hundreds of ferocious beasts around them collapsed to the ground.

"this?"

Dozens of martial artists were all dumbfounded, their expressions extremely shocked.

Just moments ago, these ferocious beasts around them were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, their faces contorted in a menacing manner.

The next second, they were all reduced to pieces, dead beyond any doubt.

"What... what exactly is going on?"

"Yes, those ferocious beasts were perfectly fine just a moment ago, how come they're all dead now?"

"Could it be that someone intervened and saved us?"

"It must be, otherwise how could all these ferocious beasts have died?"

"Where is our savior? Where is he?"

The group looked around but couldn't find anyone nearby.

The same scene was playing out repeatedly in various parts of the city.

The unrest in the city visibly subsided.

The people on the city wall gradually noticed this situation.

"Why does it feel like the commotion inside the city has subsided considerably?"

Someone muttered.

"It seems so, the commotion isn't as loud as before."

"Could it be that that guy really did manage to take care of those ferocious beasts in the city?"

"That's impossible!" someone retorted. "There are at least twenty commander-level ferocious beasts in the city, and several hundred elite-level beasts, not even counting the mid-to-high-level beasts. How could he possibly handle so many by himself?"

"Exactly. I think it's not that the ferocious beasts were eliminated, but rather that the people in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the awakened squad we sent out was also completely wiped out, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent.

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

After all, ordinary people in the city have no power to fight back against these ferocious beasts. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they dare not make a sound and let the beasts find them.

The fact that all the awakened warriors sent there were wiped out means that the city is indeed impossible to defend.

If this drags on any longer, these people will find themselves in a terrible situation, attacked from both sides.

"Lord, you just said to wait a bit, I think it's about time, right? That person hasn't returned yet, he's probably in grave danger. Why don't we retreat quickly?"

"Yes, Lord City, the city has probably already fallen. If we drag this out any longer, it may be too late for us to leave."

"City Lord!"

Suddenly, a group of people came quickly, their bodies more or less covered in bruises, but their faces were full of energy.

"Lord, good news, good news!" the leader exclaimed excitedly. "The ferocious beasts in the east of the city have all been cleared out."

"What?"

Before the city lord could ask any questions, several exclamations rang out from the side.

"What did you just say? The ferocious beasts in the east of the city have all been cleared out, they're all gone?"

"Yes!"

The man who delivered the message nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "In the east of the city, there used to be more than a thousand ferocious beasts, including five commander-level beasts. We couldn't hold them off at all, and we couldn't even protect ourselves. But just a few minutes ago, all those beasts died, including those commander-level beasts."

"What?!"

"More than a thousand ferocious beasts, all dead! Those five commander-level ferocious beasts, dead too?"

"You guys aren't kidding, are you?"

Everyone present was stunned.

"I'm not joking, we saw all of this with our own eyes," the man quickly said. "If you don't believe me, Lord, you can ask others."

"Reporting to the city lord, we have also seen it. All those ferocious beasts are dead, and their corpses are still on the spot. If you do not believe us, you can come with us to check."

"Yes, Lord City Lord, we saw it all with our own eyes."

The group spoke in unison, their words earnest and sincere.

"this?"

Everyone looked at each other.

It seems that the people who came to deliver the message are not lying.

"City Lord! City Lord!"

Just then, another group of people rushed over in a great hurry.

Like the group before them, they were all overjoyed.

"City Lord!"

The leader climbed onto the city wall and shouted, "Lord City Lord, good news! More than two thousand ferocious beasts in the north of the city are all dead!"

"What?!"

Everyone's pupils dilated again.

Someone just came to report that the ferocious beast in the east of the city had been completely wiped out, but they were skeptical.

Then, someone else arrived and said that the ferocious beast in the north of the city was also gone.

Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in the world? Probably not.

"Could it be that he did it?"

The city lord of Yufeng City recalled the scene from before.

"Can you see clearly who did this?"

He quickly asked.

"what?"

The messengers were all taken aback.

Some of them did see that person.

But they thought that the person was sent by the city lord to provide support, thinking that their city lord was indeed powerful, able to invite such an expert. In the end, the city lord did not know.

"Lord, we didn't get a good look at what that person looked like. We only remember that he was dressed in all black and didn't seem to be carrying anything in his hands."

"Black clothes?"

"It's him?"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

Did that guy do it?

"Clad in black, and unarmed?"

The city lord of Yufeng City was both surprised and delighted, because the person who had appeared earlier was dressed exactly like that.

In other words, what he said before wasn't just bragging, but that he really does have that ability?

If he's not mistaken, then what's next?

"Lord! Great news! Incredible good news!"

Another excited voice rang out.

"Lord of the City! Fantastic news!"

In the blink of an eye, several men appeared before the crowd. "City Lord, the thousands of ferocious beasts in the western part of the city have also been wiped out."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened once again.

The ferocious beasts from all three directions have been eliminated?

real or fake?

Have the remaining ferocious beasts in that direction also been eliminated?

And the person who did all of this was the same person who appeared earlier?
