Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 2 Qiyao
Zhou An gave two orders in succession and did not even wait for the sentry to report. He jumped directly off the seven-story sentry tower. He supported himself on the wall of the sentry tower with his arms and landed safely. Then he turned into a shadow and rushed towards the northwest sentry tower.

"The number of beasts in the herd is between 5000 and 8000!"

"Number of beast generals: three, five, eight, twelve. Twenty-nine! Among them, there are three high-level beast generals! Wait."

Zhou An, through the strong light of the searchlight, suddenly discovered a giant wolf that was seven or eight times larger than an ordinary red-eyed wolf from a distance of several thousand meters.

It was as big as a heavy armored vehicle. The beast-soldier-level monsters around it stayed away from it in fear and obedience, while the three high-level beast-general-level monsters surrounded it like guards.

Thousands of meters away, Zhou An clearly saw the giant wolf looking at him coldly with its pair of blood-red eyes.

A warrior and a giant wolf, their eyes met.

".A quasi-lord-level monster, one!"

Zhou An's cold voice rang through the earphones in the ears of a large number of base personnel at the same time. At this moment, it seemed that the entire human base was suffocated for a moment, as if they felt the unparalleled sense of oppression brought by this simple sentence.

Quasi-lord level monster!

Basically equivalent to the human god of war level.

At this moment, the strongest warriors in this human base are Zhou An himself and another mid-level general, Zhao Peishan.

"Fire!"

Ta-ta-ta. Boom-boom-boom.
In an instant, the entire war base seemed like a giant beast awakened. Heavy machine guns, rapid-fire cannons, heavy artillery... endless lines of fire formed a bright and dazzling barrage, like a galaxy falling from the sky, madly pouring towards the herd of beasts six kilometers away, illuminating the entire night sky.

Hiss~Roar!
Roar!
The beasts approached at an alarming speed, and a large number of beast soldier-level red-eyed wolves charged fearlessly, dying tragically under the intensive firepower. The beast generals quietly hid in the beasts, crouching down and moving forward to avoid being hit by heavy firepower snipers.

In the past few years of Nirvana, the monsters have gained rich experience in attacking human bases.

Zhou An's eyes were sharp, and he leaned closer to the headset: "All warriors are on standby at any time, ready to stop the monsters that break through the defense line."

"Zhou An!"

A hurried shout came from behind him. Zhou An turned around and saw a burly middle-aged warrior with a hideous scar on his face quickly coming over. It was another mid-level warrior in the base, Zhao Peishan.

"We can't defend the base, let's escape!"

"You and I are the main generals among the warriors in the base. Do you want to escape in the middle of a battle?" Zhou An narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Peishan, as sharp as a knife.

Zhao Peishan's eyes were fierce, like a wild wolf that was forced into a desperate situation: "You also know that it is a quasi-lord-level monster lord-level! No one can stop it in this base, the only way is to escape!"

"escape?"

Zhou An sneered: "Zhao Peishan, this base is 80 kilometers away from the base city. There is a plain in the middle. Now the whole base is surrounded by beasts. If you run away, you will attract the beast general level to hunt you."

"Are you going to compete with a high-level beast commander-level wolf monster in speed on the plains?"

Zhao Peishan's expression changed, his eyes were full of madness, he gritted his teeth and said: "You and I, plus a few junior generals, we will each go in a different direction and flee separately. There is only one quasi-lord and three high-level generals in the beast group. We still have a chance."

Zhou An interrupted him: "Humans' long-range running speed cannot catch up with wolf monsters of the same level. A medium-level beast will be enough to entangle you."

"You will be entangled by the beast general level on the plain."

"The following herds will catch up and surround you."

"You will die on the way to escape, and be torn apart, trampled, and eaten by the beasts. Even the weakest beast soldier-level monster will be able to get a piece of your flesh and blood."

Zhao Peishan's expression gradually became stiff as Zhou An spoke coldly.

"No chance. Your heart is in turmoil, Zhao Peishan. You don't even have the courage to draw your sword. You are choosing the most cowardly and pathetic way to die."

Zhou An reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife behind him. Amid the deafening sound of gunfire and the roar of monsters, his tone was surprisingly calm: "This is a war, a war between humans and monsters. Everyone may die."

The sword slowly came out of its sheath, its sharp blade dull black.

“Many people surrender to death and regard it as an irresistible fate.”

"But the fate of a warrior always depends on the sword in his hand."

Zhao Peishan returned to the front line in a daze, not knowing whether it was because his hope was dashed or because Zhou An's words broke some bottom line.

Behind the defense line, all the warriors were waiting, preparing for the moment when the monster broke through the line of fire.

And this time, it only took three minutes.

oooo~
A large number of beast soldier-level monsters died, and the first low-level beast general-level red-eyed wolf finally broke through the fire blockade and roared wildly, but what faced it were several human warriors who were ready to fight.

However, the firepower density in this direction inevitably weakened.

Several beast generals that were approaching the defense line took the opportunity to attack at the same time and broke into the human warriors' positions. Several army soldiers who were unable to dodge were torn to pieces, and the position was about to collapse.

call!
Zhou An, who came from the distant defense line, broke into the battlefield at an astonishing speed. Even the soldiers could only vaguely feel a vague black shadow passing by.

In just one breath, Zhou An approached two beast general-level red-eyed wolves. The first one was a primary beast general-level, and three meters behind it was a middle-level beast general-level.

At such a close distance, the ferocious head of the red-eyed wolf, its two iconic blood-red eyes, and even the countless hairs on its huge body were all extremely clear.

The two red-eyed wolves locked their eyes on Zhou An. The first low-level beast general-level red-eyed wolf bit him. The remaining meat strands were clearly visible between its sharp and intertwined teeth, and a fishy smell hit him in the face.

The sword is raised!

A dull black blade light slashed towards the red-eyed wolf's neck like an afterimage, and the red-eyed wolf subconsciously stretched out its front paws to block it.

Zhou An's arm suddenly shook, and the knife light, which was already like an afterimage, suddenly increased in speed again, and it wiped the red-eyed wolf's neck before the wolf's claws.

laugh!
The terrifying force of the sword's chopping cut off most of the red-eyed wolf's neck, and smelly blood gushed out.

puff!

Before the red-eyed wolf fell, Zhou An rushed forward like lightning. The sword in his hand flashed like lightning and pierced through the thick and tough fur. The second medium-level beast general-level red-eyed wolf was also stabbed in the heart, and its huge body fell to the ground and twitched.

The body is like a ghost and the sword is like lightning!
In just a few flashes, the remaining beast general-level monsters were stabbed in the vital parts and fell down with tragic roars.

"Commander Zhou An!"

"Seven Lightning Blade, it's the Seven Lightning Blade!"

The retreating soldiers were all shocked.

The fighting power of every beast general-level monster when it goes crazy should not be underestimated. Those who can kill monsters of the same level steadily are considered good among human generals.

Among the warriors and generals, those who can easily kill beast generals of the same level in seconds are absolutely famous figures.

Zhou An, the master of the Seven Lightning Blades, is one of them!
