High Martial Arts 2077: I Rely on Beast Taming to Cultivate While Lying Down

Chapter 118 Supernatural Power - Azure Sword - Wind Slash! The terrified adventurers!

The giant face moved the very second he was processing this information.

Its lips began to move.

Then... it made a sound.

"Hehehe~ You all must die!"

His voice was hoarse, with a drawn-out tone that sounded like a cassette tape being pulled out of tune.

But the most terrifying thing isn't the voice itself, it's this face!

The shape of his face continued to change as he spoke.

The gray-green tissue was rearranged, the brow bone was raised, the chin was narrowed, and the curve of the cheekbone was adjusted three times.

Then it stabilized...

That skinny, tall guy in the adventurer's party!

His face now floats on the end of this giant tentacle, a lewd smile on his lips just as it had in life.

The lips moved.

"To become...my...ascension...nourishment!"

Yan Heng's expression changed.

As a veteran hunter who has spent over a decade in Buffer City, I have seen countless demons and monsters.

I've seen quite a few leaders!

But those that can speak... are definitely not many!

And every one that can speak human language must be a great demon!

Without any hesitation, he roared, "Release the third signal flare!!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Yue raised the flare gun above her head and pulled the trigger all the way down.

"Whoosh!" The third signal flare was launched.

Then... a black ball of energy shot out from the end of a vine.

Darkness instantly swallowed the red light!

"Hehe~"

The tall, thin man was still smiling.

"Useless...all dead...here...to keep me company!"

"Feel...fear!"

Su Chen clenched his fists.

The battle has lasted at most ten minutes since it began.

Five people have already died!

The skinny, tall man and his two adventurer underlings were dragged down by the vines without even having time to scream.

Nanhu University, the ordinary-looking girl who is suspected to be among the targets.

And that... girl with the bun hairstyle. One second she was battling the Black Moon Demon Wolf, the next she was four pieces of cold flesh under the alien demon's blade!

If he hadn't ordered Zhou Chengjie to fire the signal flare immediately, the number would have been several times higher, or even the entire army would have been wiped out!

It's truly terrifying to even think about.

Even though he had done what he was supposed to do immediately, his jaw still ached from clenching it when he saw the few pieces of debris scattered along the edge of the floor.

He recalled the level description for clearing the green vine monsters in level seven...

The cunning of plant-based demons lies not in direct confrontation, but in their ability to hide and wait.

They strike when you least expect it!

He vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with the Bloodthirsty Green Vine.

But no one realized it would be this terrifying...

Behind every ordinary servant or soldier, there is actually a demon king at the peak of the warrior level!

He gripped the Hellfire at his waist tightly.

Just then, a voice fell from the sky.

"Hmph! You're asking for it!"

The three words, though not loud, pierced through the entire battlefield.

Su Chen suddenly looked up.

A sword appeared!

The sword was light blue, its length was unknown, and its width exceeded two meters.

The sword was engraved with dense spiritual patterns, and the flowing blue light left a dazzling trail in the night.

It flew here alone!

The moment the flying sword streaked across the night sky, the shrill sound of the air being torn apart and the spiritual energy of the sword itself resonated together.

Azure罡 Sword!

The sword's edge was aimed at the giant tentacle that embodied the gaunt, tall face.

There are no fancy moves, no unnecessary actions.

A single sword strike!

The sword light landed on the middle of the tentacle, and the green vine scales at the point of contact instantly vaporized, the gray-green tissue being sliced ​​apart layer by layer by the cyan sword light.

The greatsword slashed in from one side of the tentacle and emerged from the other.

The giant tentacles trembled and split in two.

The upper half of the body, with the gaunt, tall man's still-smiling face, slanted down towards the ruins below.

The sword light continued its momentum, extending further back and carving a fifty-meter-long trench through the swarm of rats.

Su Chen's spirits lifted instantly.

Reinforcements are here!

The next moment, the suppressed rage within him surged forth, and he roared, "Give me all the hellfire!"

This sentence acts like a switch.

Everyone who had been suffocating under the weight of the Green Vine Demon King's face felt a crack appear in the stone pressing on their chests the moment they saw the Azure Sword shatter the tentacles.

Su Chen's shout widened the crack even further!

The Hellfire Type 1 Super Bomb is worth 1000 points and 200,000 Federal Credits.

This is a controlled item, with a market value exceeding 300,000!

Now that reinforcements have arrived, there's no need to take action anymore, and it would be wasteful of high-value items... This doesn't seem quite right.

No one wasted any words; they took out all the Hellfire and threw them to Su Chen.

Su Chen stepped onto the broken wall at the edge of the third floor.

The ruins beneath my feet were filled with tiny red lights—the eyes of red phosphorus rats!

The rat swarm was momentarily stunned by the Azure Sword, but it is now regrouping.

They are not afraid at all!

But... the other demons, realizing the danger, had already scattered and fled.

In the shadows of the distant ruins, several void rifts were slowly closing; the alien demon had already begun its escape the moment the Azure Sword appeared!

"You think you can just kill someone and run away?!"

"dream!!!"

Su Chen did not hesitate.

He threw three Hellfires directly.

"Boom!"

A crimson fireball exploded among the rats, and the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees instantly vaporized dozens of red phosphorus rats at the center of the explosion.

The shockwave swept outwards along the ground, sending flying rocks and rat carcasses tumbling and disintegrating in the air.

Along the path of the spreading flames, the broken walls and ruins in the rubble were burned red.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

The terrifying hellfire blasted a wall of fire stretching for hundreds of meters along the front line of the rat swarm's defenses.

[Task 2: A Multitude of Troops, Progress: 812/10000]

【————】

[Task 2: A Multitude of Troops, Progress: 1458/10000]

He bent down, picked up the remaining hellfire, and continued throwing it!

Terrifying flames exploded one after another in the night, turning the entire western ruins into a sea of ​​fire.

Thick black smoke billowed up, and the smell of sulfur mixed with the acrid stench of burning flesh filled the entire rest area.

【————】

[Task 2: A Multitude of Troops, Progress: 2048/10000]

Su Chen swung his arms, a smile playing on his lips.

But the next moment, a vine burst forth from the flames!

The Thousand Vines Barrier of the Bloodthirsty Green Vine Demon King with a human face was largely destroyed, and the three remaining tentacles suddenly sprang up from different directions of the ruins.

A bolt of lightning aimed straight at Su Chen!

"How dare you be so insolent!"

Another angry shout fell from the night sky.

The sound was closer than before.

Su Chen was slightly taken aback.

That voice sounds familiar!

Then he saw ten dark blue lights rapidly falling from the night sky.

The ground trembled violently the moment they landed.

The light gradually dimmed.

Ten ancient soldiers, each five meters tall, stand atop the ruins.

They stood tall and straight, each clad in standard armor, with different weapons at their waists—a knife, a spear, a sword, a halberd, a bow, and a shield as tall as a person.

A faint blue light emanated from the gaps in the armor; the figure was expressionless and breathless.

Spirit Armor Army!

Su Chen remembered.

The visitor was Feng Yujun, the homeroom teacher of Class 1!

Looking up again, one could see a person on the roof of a building several hundred meters away, surrounded by blue light, making hand seals.

The ten armored soldiers moved simultaneously!

The sword-wielding Spirit Armor Army charged into the heart of the rat swarm, their blades flashing, and with a single strike, dozens of Red Phosphorus Rats were cut in half at the waist.

The gun-wielding Spirit Armor Army soldier thrust forward at the edge of the ruins, the spear tip piercing the Black Moon Demon Wolf's throat before flicking it open, ripping open the wolf's entire neck. A terrifying impact left a hundred-meter-long trench in the ground.

Ten armored soldiers carved a path through the rat horde, paved with corpses!

The Azure Sword changed direction in the sky and locked onto the Green Vine Demon King again.

Another voice came from above, tinged with a sneer: "Hmph! Such a powerful demon is actually hidden here!"

"Today, you will surely die!"

The Azure Sword suddenly split apart.

One handle becomes two handles, two handles become four handles, four handles become eight handles.

Eight swords formed a circle in the air, with their tips pointing inwards and their hilts outwards. The azure sword light condensed into a dazzling core of light at the center of the circle.

The light core rotates at high speed, driving the entire sword formation to cut downwards.

Wherever it passed, the vines were shredded into pieces, and grayish-green sap sprayed like rain.

The Green Vine Demon King let out a piercing shriek.

The remaining vines began to shrink downwards.

The thick tentacles rolled wildly in the ruins, desperately trying to crawl back into the crack they had entered earlier.

But the Azure Gang Sword Formation chased after them, cutting them into several pieces one after another.

Moments later, the smoke and dust cleared, leaving behind only ruins.

Three load-bearing columns under the rest area of ​​East 17 have been broken, half of the side wings of the first and second floors have collapsed, and the third floor is also in a state of devastation.

The building is not tilted as a whole, but it is clearly a dangerous building!

Feng Yujun, a regular homeroom teacher, was placed on the fourth floor.

The azure spiritual energy emanating from him had not yet completely subsided, and his robes were slightly billowing in the remaining gale wind.

He quickly scanned the students present, his gaze lingering for a moment on the faces of Zhou Chengjie, Jiang Yunxin, Wang Yichuan, and Lin Xiyue.

"Is no one injured at our school?"

Zhou Chengjie shook his head: "No—but Beishan University and Nanhu University each lost one person."

Feng Yujun nodded: "Mm!"

He turned around and looked at another expert at the Divine Power Realm who had just landed—Yang Gang.

He was wearing a full set of standard heavy armor, with the red badge of the city guard embroidered on his shoulders. He was the captain of the seventh company of the third battalion of the Jiangling City Guard.

He was in his early forties and had a robust build.

He was squatting on the edge of the third floor, looking at the twitching vines and limbs in the ruins, his brows furrowed.

"Why is a demon at the peak of the War General level hiding here?" Feng Yujun walked up to Yang Gang, his tone not exactly accusatory, but his words clearly conveyed dissatisfaction. "And in the rest area no less!"

Yang Gang was silent for a few seconds before saying, "This guy is hiding 150 meters underground. And according to preliminary spiritual exploration, there is a vast space below, which may be related to the recent Red Phosphorus Rat incident."

His expression turned serious: "I'll lead a team down to investigate right now!"

Feng Yujun nodded: "Mm."

Just as Yang Gang turned around, someone in the adventurer group shouted, "Captain Yang! Don't go! Please don't go!"

The sound came from the stairwell on the fourth floor.

The bald, fat man slumped on the stairs, his entire body trembling with fat.

His face was deathly pale, his fingers gripping the edge of the steps so tightly that white marks had appeared on his knuckles.

Yang Gang frowned.

He had served in the city guard for twenty years and had seen countless adventurers terrified by demons, but few were still so frightened after being rescued.

"This is Professor Feng Yujun, a homeroom teacher at No. 1 Middle School. His abilities surpass mine." He tried to keep his tone calm. "With him here, you're safe and sound."

"No! Don't!"

The bald fat man's voice suddenly became shrill. He stared intently at Yang Gang and said, "Captain Yang, you—you mustn't leave!"

"I—I have something very important to report!"

Yang Gang paused for a moment.

"What is it?" He took half a step forward.

Feng Yujun also turned his head and glanced at the bald fat man.

The bald, fat man's lips were trembling.

He opened his mouth, glanced quickly at Feng Yujun, and then immediately looked away... as if he was afraid, terrified!

Feng Yujun was stunned for a moment.

What does that look mean?

Are you afraid of yourself?

He looked down at himself; his robes were stained with dust, and his spiritual energy was completely contained, without any sense of oppression emanating from them.

He looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.

They had never met before! At least Feng Yujun had no recollection of the bald, fat man in front of him.

What's wrong with me? Why is he so scared?

Yang Gang's gaze swept back and forth between Feng Yujun and the bald, fat man.

As a seasoned veteran of the city guard, his intuition told him that there was something fishy about this place.

He lowered his voice: "Professor Feng, you might need to avoid this situation."

Feng Yujun raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although he was completely baffled, he had nothing to fear, and besides, he could understand Captain Yang's caution.

"OK!"

But just then, Su Chen stepped forward and said, "Teacher Feng, there's no need! I know what he's afraid of."
