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

Chapter 577 Just Passing By

In Wang Lao's opinion, Chen Fan's ability to unleash ten Thousand Swords at once, even if not the limit, was close enough.

At least he couldn't have done that.

But to his utter surprise, Chen Fan once again used the "Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed" technique ten times.

This completely overturned his understanding.

"Could it be that he used up all those precious medicines?"

The idea popped into his head.

The ten thousand sword energies that had been re-condensed joined the battlefield.

The beast tide immediately retreated in disarray.

Countless ferocious beasts were melted by the sword energy, and the battle line was once again stretched to two kilometers away.

The crowd on the city wall erupted in cheers, one wave after another.

"Chairman Li!"

"Chairman Li! Chairman Li!"

Thousands upon thousands of people are calling out this name.

Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Chen Fan's back.

"Is this Chairman Lee's strength?"

The members of the War Soul Squad were completely stunned.

The ferocious beasts paid such a heavy price; half of their commander-level members died, and they finally managed to destroy the sword aura field in front of them.

The results of it?

In the blink of an eye, the sword aura returned to normal, or rather, to be precise, it was even more powerful than before.

Those ferocious beasts below the city wall must be in despair by now, right?

The same is true.

The leaders of those top-tier ferocious beasts stared at the dense array of sword energy ahead, frozen in place as if petrified.

Are you kidding me?

They put in so much effort, only to find it was all for nothing?

Fear was evident in the eyes of the dozen or so high-ranking commanders.

Without a doubt, the remaining few ordinary commanders would not be able to destroy so many sword energies in front of them.

Next, it was their turn to go up.

Perhaps they could destroy those sword energies, but in that case, they would all basically die. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be severely injured and ultimately could not escape death.

What should I do?

Are we just going to obediently go up there and die?

At this moment.

Underground space.

Not long after the black-ringed giant serpent entered, it smelled a thick stench of blood from underground.

"What happened?"

It realized something was wrong.

The smell of blood doesn't seem to come from a human body.

Moreover, those humans don't seem to have the ability to burrow underground.

It slowed down and became very cautious.

The smell of blood grew stronger and stronger, and there were even crunching sounds coming from inside.

The black-ringed giant serpent shuddered. It was the sound of bones being crushed—the sound of those burrowing beasts.

Realizing this, it immediately became furious.

OK!

What a bunch of good-for-nothings!

The king ordered them to sneak into the city's underground first, and then launch an attack at dawn. But instead of coming out, these guys stayed underground and even started eating.

It hasn't eaten yet!

"Okay, okay."

Its eyes were narrowed to slits.

In that case, don't blame it for being impolite.

Kill a few commander-level ones first, to fill our stomachs, and also to make an example of them, so that the rest of them will fight for us.

It sped up and headed toward the source of the sound.

Finally, it reached the exit of the passage and suddenly darted out.

Before them lay a vast underground space. The human city had been almost completely hollowed out, with not a trace of soil remaining.

Yes, they are the corpses of ferocious beasts!

Countless ferocious beast corpses!

A cursory glance suggests it costs at least over 100,000.

The strong smell of blood emanated from them.

"How could this happen?"

The black-ringed giant serpent was stunned, staring at the mountain of ferocious beast corpses.

These guys seem to be the king's men.

But shouldn't they be attacking the city right now? How did they end up in this mess?

Just then, the crunching sound stopped.

On the hilltop, several giant, centipede-like beasts stared at it with hundreds of eyes.

The black-ringed giant snake was startled, only then noticing that there were other living creatures, and more than one.

"These guys..."

Its gaze swept over several flying centipedes.

To everyone's astonishment, three of them possessed an aura no less powerful than its own, and the remaining five or six were not much weaker.

In an instant, it understood everything.

No wonder these ferocious beasts underground haven't made any move after so long. It turns out they're dead. The ones who killed them were these winged centipedes right in front of us!

Where did these guys come from?

Why would they attack the king's men?

The giant black-ringed serpent's huge head was filled with question marks.

It desperately wanted to turn around and leave immediately, to tell the king what had happened underground.

But its instincts told it that it should not act rashly at this time, because if it started to run away, these creatures would catch up and tear it to pieces.

However, this stalemate cannot continue indefinitely; the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.

After hesitating for a second or two, the black-ringed giant serpent raised the corners of its mouth, revealing an awkward yet polite smile. It communicated with the flying centipedes in front of it through its mind, saying, "I'm really sorry, everyone. I was just passing by and accidentally disturbed your meal. I'm so sorry. Please continue eating. I'll be going now."

It nodded as it spoke.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, the leading flying centipede flew towards it.

This guy was the last one Chen Fan had subdued. He wasn't seriously injured to begin with, and after having a hearty meal, his aura was extremely strong.

The giant black-ringed serpent raised its upper body, looking as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

"You're in cahoots with them, aren't you?"

"The leader of the flying centipedes asked."

No, no.

The black-ringed giant snake quickly shook its head.

"I don't know them at all."

"Then why did you come here?" The Flying Centipede's dozens of eyes were filled with coldness.

As it spoke, two other flying centipedes, each fifteen or sixteen meters long, arrived behind the black-ringed giant snake and surrounded it.

The remaining few smaller flying centipedes were also eyeing the area from the outside.

"Oh no, oh no!"

The giant black-ringed serpent was inwardly groaning.

If it had known this would happen, it shouldn't have come down to check on itself.

If there was only one centipede, it was confident that even if it was not as strong as its opponent, escaping should not be a problem.

As a result, I encountered so many at once.

Now we're surrounded by the other side.

"I... I really was just passing by, just passing by."

It quickly explained, "You probably don't know, but there's a huge battle going on outside. I live nearby, and when something like this happens, I can only run away. That's why I happened to be passing by. Gentlemen, let's talk this out. I really didn't mean any harm."

It lowered its upper body and lay down on the ground.

In his view, it was probably a coincidence that these guys appeared here; running into them was just bad luck for those burrowing beasts.

However, now that these guys have so much food, they probably won't try to take advantage of me. As long as I keep a low profile, I should be able to leave.

After leaving, it told the king what had happened. However, these guys had very strong auras, especially the leader, whose strength was probably no less than that of the king. Even if the king knew, there was nothing he could do.

But knowing is definitely better than not knowing.

"Yeah?"

The leading flying centipede said something and suddenly bit down.

Caught off guard, the giant black-ringed serpent was bitten on the neck, rendering its prized scales useless, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

At that moment, the other flying centipedes swarmed forward and bit the other from various angles.

The black-ringed giant snake convulsed in pain, its tail lashing out repeatedly at the flying centipedes behind it.

However, the opponent's body was extremely tough, and when the tail struck, it only produced a series of sparks.

"mean!"

It roared and spewed out a large amount of poisonous mist, determined to fight to the death.

However, the next moment, several flying centipedes exerted their strength together and tore its body into pieces.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The Black Ringed Giant Serpent was, after all, a beast king-level ferocious beast. Even in such a state, it was not dead. Looking at the leading flying centipede, it said with difficulty, "Why, why? I have no, no grudge against you."

The latter swallowed the blood and flesh in its mouth, looked at it expressionlessly, and said, "My master instructed that any ferocious beast that enters must be killed without exception."

"Master, my master?"

The black-ringed giant snake suddenly widened its eyes.

Yes, is it that guy?

The image of Chen Fan appeared in its mind.

How could this be? How could this happen?

How could a mere human be able to control several beast kings?

It went black and completely lost its breath.

"This is a beast king-level ferocious beast? The taste is definitely different," said a flying centipede.

"Yeah, it tastes much better than those guys. I think we should eat this first, and then continue eating those guys." A flying centipede tore a piece of flesh from the black-ringed giant snake and swallowed it.

"If only there were a few more of these guys, or we could go outside. I can sense there's plenty of delicious food out there, and even if it doesn't taste as good as this, it'll be pretty close."

"no."

The lead flying centipede glanced at them and said, "Don't forget what our master told us. This is our responsibility. What if some ferocious beasts come back and attack the city after we leave?"

Upon hearing this, the flying centipedes immediately abandoned the idea.

Yes.

They dare not disobey their master's orders, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

Besides, it's good to stay here. There's so much food; it's much better than staying where we were.

Several flying centipedes swallowed the corpse of the black-ringed giant snake and flew back to the hill to continue their feast.

Above ground.

The giant, ice-blue serpent was unaware of what was happening underground, much less that its companions had become food for others.

It looked at the sword aura in front of Anshan City, a solemn look appearing in its eyes.

Clearly, things are not as simple as it seems.

The powerful human being stationed here was able to use that move repeatedly. If this continued, not only would most of the mid-to-high-level ferocious beasts be killed or injured, but even the commander-level ones would suffer heavy casualties.

Even if we kill that powerful human and conquer this human city, the king will probably still not be satisfied.

Moreover, what if the opponent can use it a third time?

At that time, besides it, there will also be Old Black and all the other ferocious beasts, who will all perish here. If it were the king, it would also be furious.

"It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the giant ice-blue serpent.

In front of the city wall.

Several top-tier ferocious beast leaders had already thrown the remaining ordinary ferocious beast leaders into the sword energy area.

The outcome is obvious.

Before they even landed, several ordinary ferocious beast leaders were melted by the sword energy.

"roar!"

The golden giant ape suddenly turned around and looked at the group of high-level ferocious beast leaders behind it.

It's as if to say, "Next, it's your turn."

The other top-tier ferocious beast leaders also turned their gazes to the other high-level ferocious beast leaders.

They didn't believe that the human on the city wall could use such powerful moves repeatedly.

If we throw the remaining high-level ferocious beast leaders inside, we can render that human incapable of fighting.

When they come down, they will tear everyone in the city to shreds.

The high-level ferocious beast leader, who was being stared at by the golden giant ape, lay prostrate on the ground and let out a series of cries.

It's obviously a plea, hoping the other party won't do it.

"Roar roar roar".

"Roar!"

Other high-ranking ferocious beast leaders also spoke up.

As the saying goes, "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," meaning that if one companion dies, the next to be thrown in will be the other.

Some even offered suggestions, namely, that everyone should go together.

These sword energies in front of us certainly won't be able to stop them.

However, the leaders of the top-tier ferocious beasts disregarded them.

They don't want to take risks, especially in situations where there's no need to.

"roar!"

The golden giant ape roared again, issuing its final ultimatum.

If the other person still doesn't want to go in on their own, then don't blame him; just throw them in.

Although it's a bit strenuous, since the weight of a high-level ferocious beast commander is at least two or three times that of an ordinary commander, throwing it dozens of meters away shouldn't be a problem.

"These ferocious beasts are truly beasts."

The people on the city wall witnessed this scene, and someone couldn't help but say, "They don't dare to come in themselves, so they let those weaker than them go first."

"You bet, that's really despicable."

"If you ask me, these high-level ferocious beast leaders aren't very courageous. At this point, what's there to be afraid of? Just fight them to the death. Anyway, advancing means certain death, and retreating offers a chance of survival."

"Exactly, we're all going to die anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Just then, a blue figure swam swiftly towards them.

The leaders of the top-tier ferocious beasts immediately realized what was happening and were so frightened that they all prostrated themselves on the ground, including the golden giant ape.

The dozen or so high-level ferocious beast leaders were as if they had met their saviors, and they were all so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

"Yes, it's a beast king-level ferocious beast!"

The moment the giant, ice-blue serpent appeared, the city walls fell completely silent.

Thank you so much to reader "无心无我" for the 100-point reward!
