Chapter 527 Sending the Buddha to the West

"The city lord? Is this...is it true?"

Someone asked in a trembling voice, their tone a mixture of surprise and delight.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of so many ferocious beasts in the city, catching them off guard, the situation wouldn't have escalated to this point.

"Um."

The city lord of Yufeng City nodded, his gaze sweeping across the city, and said, "You can all feel that the commotion within the city has subsided considerably, can't you?"

The people behind him nodded.

Despite the deafening sounds of artillery fire around them, their senses were far superior to those of ordinary people, allowing them to perceive the differences between what was before and after.

"So, that person really did it?" someone asked.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then a murmur of discussion arose one after another.

"I think it must be him, right? Judging from their description just now, it's definitely him."

"But he alone could kill thousands of ferocious beasts?"

"That's not all. Among these thousands of ferocious beasts, there are more than ten or twenty commander-level beasts alone, not even counting elite-level beasts. Even if we want to eliminate them, we will suffer considerable casualties. More importantly, if we make a move, we will not be able to resist the commander-level beasts that arrive outside the city."

"Yeah yeah."

A chorus of agreement arose.

They knew the situation inside the city was dire, yet they stood on the city wall without taking action, precisely because of this concern.

If all their trump cards are used up by the ferocious beasts in the city, then the safety of the city will only be temporary.

"How long has it been since he appeared? Just a few minutes, and he's already killed so many ferocious beasts. Even an A-level Awakened wouldn't have that kind of strength, would they?"

"Yes, to be honest, I really can't believe it."

"I think instead of everyone guessing here, we should send someone to check it out," someone suggested.

"Yes, yes, go and see for yourself, and everything will be clear."

"I'll go," someone volunteered.

"No."

Just then, a calm voice rang out.

"That sound?"

"It's him!"

Everyone was taken aback and looked toward the source of the sound.

It was the same spot, and the same figure.

The difference this time was that the arrogance in everyone's eyes was gone, replaced by caution.

"good."

Chen Dan nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "You listened to what I said, instead of ignoring it."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, and surprisingly, no one objected.

"May I ask, sir, have you completely eradicated all the ferocious beasts within the city?"

The city lord of Yufeng City took a step forward and asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and they all pricked up their ears.

"Otherwise what?"

Chen Fan countered with a question.

A collective gasp filled the air.

The city lord of Yufeng City was visibly shaken, his voice trembling. "In just a few minutes, you, Your Excellency, have annihilated thousands of ferocious beasts?"

Chen Fan glanced at him, frowned, and said, "I have no interest in answering such a boring question."

"Yes, yes."

The city lord of Yufeng City was startled and quickly shut his mouth, but in his heart, he was already nine-tenths certain that everything in the city was the work of the person in front of him.

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for your help. May I ask your name?"

Those around him nodded in agreement.

After learning about the strength of the person in front of them, they became even more curious about his identity. As mentioned before, even an A-level Awakener would find it difficult to kill a dozen or twenty commander-level ferocious beasts at once, let alone in such a short period of time.

Perhaps only near-S-rank or S-rank awakened individuals can achieve this.

There are only three S-class Awakened in the entire Yan Kingdom. Anyone in the Awakened Association would remember their appearance. The one in front of us is clearly not one of them.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be a near-S-class Awakener.

"Instead of asking that question, I'd like to hear what you're going to do next."

Chen Fan turned his head and looked down at the ferocious beasts rushing towards the city like a tide.

In just a few minutes, several more breaches appeared in the city wall. Although they were blocked by the city's firepower, it was clear to anyone with eyes that they could not hold out for long.

"What should we do next?"

The city lord of Yufeng City was taken aback, then gave a wry smile and looked down at the city below, saying, "If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have left already. We are very grateful to you for relieving our immediate crisis, but the situation is still far from optimistic."

He let out a long sigh.

"The city lord is right," a man behind him sighed, "The beast tide outside the city has only just begun. Not even a single commander-level beast has appeared yet. According to our guess, the one directing this operation is probably not a commander-level beast, but a beast king-level one."

"Beast King level... To put it bluntly, even if we include the city lord, all of us combined might not be a match for him."

"Yes, yes, if that beast king-level ferocious beast appears, we really don't have the confidence to defend the city."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.

Their initially relaxed mood gradually turned somber.

Even if they manage to repel the beast tide this time, Yufeng City will already be riddled with holes and suffer heavy casualties.

"So that's how it is."

Chen Fan sighed inwardly.

How could he not see what these people could see?

Even if this wave of beasts is successfully resisted, it will not be of much significance to Yufeng City, because if a second wave breaks out, it will be impossible to defend this place.

However, just because it is not significant to Yufeng City does not mean that it is not significant to him.

The reason why Anshan City is able to enjoy a moment of peace is because many surrounding cities have not yet fallen, attracting a large number of ferocious beasts, such as Yufeng City right under our feet.

If these cities fall, then Anshan City will be an isolated island, facing the relentless onslaught of ferocious beasts.

Therefore, helping these people is actually helping yourself.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution, but it's enough to buy time. To solve the problem at its root, his strength must reach that of an S-level Awakened, or even surpass that.

When the time comes, we can directly kill those few beast king-level ferocious beasts, and the beast tide will naturally collapse.

This is one of them.

Secondly, the more ferocious beasts you kill, the more experience points you gain, the more supreme-level martial arts and god-demon-level martial arts you can learn, and your combat power will naturally increase rapidly.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, he said, "In that case, I'll help you out again."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the city lord of Yufeng City gaped, asking incredulously, "You intend to help us repel the ferocious beasts outside the city?"

"This...this..."

The others were also incredibly excited.

Who wouldn't like to latch onto a powerful figure? Besides, this is a battlefield where one wrong move could cost you your life. Having a powerful figure lend a helping hand significantly reduces the danger.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded.

"!!!"

Everyone's pupils widened instantly, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.

With this help, the chances of Yufeng City holding out can be increased by at least 50%!

"Sir, you must be quite tired after dealing with so many ferocious beasts. Why don't you rest for a while and conserve your energy? It won't be too late to make your move when the powerful beast leader appears," someone said with a fawning smile.

"Yes, yes, the ones attacking the city right now are all minor characters. Even if a commander-level ferocious beast arrives, we can handle it. But if a beast king-level ferocious beast appears, it would be great if you could lend a hand."

The city lord of Yufeng City nodded repeatedly.

Chen Fan did not answer, but instead vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

"?"

Everyone was taken aback.

What's going on?

Didn't they say they wanted to stay and lend us a hand?

How did they suddenly disappear?

"The city, the city lord?"

Many people looked panicked.

"Don't panic."

The city lord of Yufeng City raised his hand and said, "That person doesn't seem like someone who breaks their word..."

Before they could finish speaking, a roar like a lion came from the north, startling them.

"What happened?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and witnessed a scene they would never forget.

North of Yufeng City, the beast tide that was originally like a vast ocean suddenly stopped in the middle. Only near the city wall were there tens of thousands of ferocious beasts still alive, while behind them, a whole bunch of them fell down.

To be precise, it was a circle with a radius of several miles. Within this circle, not a single ferocious beast survived; the ground was littered with severed limbs and broken bones, and rivers of blood flowed.

The city lord of Yufeng City and the others were stunned.

The guards responsible for blocking the beast tide from the north of the city were also stunned, standing frozen in place like stones, motionless.

"My God, am I dreaming?"

Some people gaped open, looking like they'd seen a ghost.

So many ferocious beasts, just suddenly disappeared?

"What... what's going on?"

"Look, there seems to be someone over there!"

"What? Someone's here?"

"Someone's there? You're not kidding, are you?"

Someone instinctively retorted.

That place was teeming with ferocious beasts, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even if there were any people there, they would have been annihilated long ago.

"There really is someone there! There really is someone there!" a guard exclaimed excitedly, holding binoculars.

"I saw it too, there really was someone standing there. Wait, could it be that he killed those ferocious beasts?"

"No way, how did he kill so many ferocious beasts in an instant?"

"This is not the time to talk about this. The ferocious beast is about to climb up. Quick! Open fire!"

"Da da da da!"

The sound of machine gun fire snapped everyone out of their daze, and they opened fire wildly.

With no more ferocious beasts lurking behind, the tens of thousands of beasts near the city walls were unable to cause any real damage and were quickly wiped out.

"How did he do that?"

Beside the city lord of Yufeng City, an awakened individual gasped and asked.

No one answered.

Because Chen Fan's speed was so fast, they didn't even know where he went, so how could they know? How did he do it?

"Boom!"

The ground to the north of the city trembled once again.

Dust billowed as countless ferocious beasts surged forth once more.

It looks like it won't be long before the cleared area is filled back in.

"Oh no! The ferocious beast is coming again!"

"Are these beasts really impossible to eradicate?"

"Fire! Fire now!" someone shouted, realizing what was happening.

This is the optimal attack range; once these guys get close, it'll be another tough battle.

"But that person is still there. What if we open fire and hit him?" someone hesitated.

It wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but rather that he had a gut feeling that the deaths of so many ferocious beasts were inextricably linked to that person.

Shells don't have eyes; what if they hit the enemy...?

As they were talking, tens of thousands of ferocious beasts rushed in front of Chen Fan, their blood-red eyes fixed on him, clearly having made him their target.

"roar!"

A deafening roar resounded, and a violent wave of sound swept in from all directions.

The ferocious beasts that charged forward burst open like punctured balloons, falling in rows. In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of several miles was cleared out once again.

The remains of the ferocious beasts that were originally around were also blown to pieces in this second wave of sound.

The ferocious beasts behind them, though not directly attacked, were terrified and stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

The city lord of Yufeng City and the others also seemed to be attacked by the sonic waves, their eyes almost popping out.

This time, they finally saw clearly how that person did it.

Soundwave!

That's right, only sound waves have such a wide attack range, capable of clearing out ferocious beasts within a radius of more than ten miles in an instant!

"I remember now!"

Someone's eyes lit up, and they said, "Do you remember that roar we just heard?"

"That's right. It was because of that roar that we noticed that person's location. So, all those ferocious beasts died from that sound wave?"

"That must be it! I get it!" someone exclaimed, slapping their thigh. "His superpower is sound waves! No wonder he was able to wipe out thousands of ferocious beasts in just a few minutes!"

"this……"

The survivors who had witnessed Chen Fan's actions looked at each other in bewilderment.

They remembered very clearly that the person used blade energy and sword energy at the time, but there was no sound wave.

"Lord of the city, that person's superpower is too strong. If he does it a few more times, wouldn't all these ferocious beasts around us be wiped out?" An excited voice rang out.

The effectiveness of sonic attacks is evident to all.

So what if there's a huge beast tide? As many as come, they'll all die.

If we go to the other three directions and shout a few times, the siege of Yufeng City will be easily lifted!

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The city lord of Yufeng City shook his head.

The sonic attack has a large killing range, but it also consumes a lot of mental energy. Who knows how many more ferocious beasts are behind it? How long can that one hold out?
