I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

"call--"

The giant club, accompanied by a hurricane, crashed down from a great height.

Like a mountain peak that had collapsed, the entire sky was blocked out by that pitch-black pillar.

The giant club roared and throbbed, shaking the rubble on the city wall.

"boom!!!"

The moment the giant club struck the beast horde, a visible shockwave spread outwards from the horde in all directions, sending the surrounding beasts flying, tearing them apart, and crushing them.

The low-level beasts were smashed into a pulp, and black blood splattered dozens of meters away.

Even high-level beasts were blasted away by the shockwave, tumbling several times in the air before crashing to the ground.

Within a kilometer radius, a horde of beasts was sent flying as if swatted away by an invisible giant hand.

On the city wall, everyone looked up, mouths agape, forgetting to breathe.

However, the giant stick did not stop.

It was like an iron pillar held in the hand of a giant, beginning to sweep across the beast tide.

From east to west, from left to right, with sweeping, powerful movements, each swing brought up a gust of wind, lifting swarms of strange beasts into the air.

"Bang—" An SSS-level Thunder Beast was struck by the staff and flew hundreds of meters away like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang—" A group of frost beasts were cut in half at the waist, their shattered ice armor and severed limbs flying everywhere.

"Boom—" Dozens of low-level alien beasts exploded into a bloody mist.

The entire beast tide's charging formation was turned upside down.

For the first time, those fearless beasts showed signs of chaos.

That stick was too fast, too long, and too heavy; every swing took away a group of strange beasts.

The military commander's raised hand froze in mid-air, unable to utter the words "Fire!" from his throat.

Because the area swept by the giant club was so large, close-in weapon systems and anti-aircraft machine guns simply could not avoid it.

If the gun is fired, the baton may be accidentally damaged.

"Cease fire! Cease fire everywhere!" he roared the order.

The automatic fire network instantly went silent, leaving only the sound of giant clubs being swung and the screams of the strange beasts on the entire city wall.

Zhao Lie hovered in mid-air, watching the giant club rampaging through the beast horde, his pupils reflecting the countless flying limbs and severed bodies.

The more than one hundred SSS-level superhumans around him also retreated, not because they were afraid of dying, but because they simply had no chance to make a move.

"This...this is awesome..." Liu Zhiqiang swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

Zhou Yao led eight young wives to hide behind the crenellations of the city wall, peeking out half their heads, looking for three seconds before pulling back, then looking for another three seconds.

Her young wives stared wide-eyed, as if they were watching a myth.

"Sister...is that Fatty Li?" a young woman stammered.

Zhou Yao subconsciously licked her tongue, but didn't say anything.

The giant rod lasted for more than ten seconds.

In the final sweep, the clubhead suddenly spewed out a transparent torrent, scattering and scattering a large number of strange beasts in front of it, clearing a passage hundreds of meters long.

Then, the giant rod suddenly retracted.

The pillar, several kilometers long, rapidly shrank and disappeared into the direction of the city.

From appearance to disappearance, it only takes a dozen or so breaths.

On the city wall, everyone was still in shock and hadn't come to their senses.

Outside the city, the beast tide was also caught off guard in that instant.

The beast behind stopped and stared at the cleared area, letting out a low growl.

A brief, eerie silence.

Three figures streaked across the sky above the city and landed on the city wall.

Fatty Li still had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was slightly pale.

Two S-class women followed behind him; one draped a coat over his shoulders, and the other carried a thermos.

"Fatty! Why did you stop?" A SS-level ability user, who had just recovered from his shock, was so excited that his face turned red.

Fatty Li glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "Second brother, you're tired."

The superhuman gave a thumbs up: "Fatty, you're a real man in three seconds!"

Fatty Li's face twitched instantly: "Damn it—what three seconds…?"

He took a deep breath and held back from cursing.

The fact that he could maintain this for more than ten seconds was already the result of him compressing his superpower to the limit and unleashing his full power.

After that blow, his supernatural power was almost completely drained, and now he's so weak he can barely stand.

But I can't say that out loud, or it won't be cool.

He took the thermos cup from the woman, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip of goji berry water.

On the city wall, countless eyes were focused on him.

This fat guy, who usually only knows how to cultivate and never even goes up the city wall, is actually the strongest hidden force in Jiangnan City.

"roar--"

The cessation of the beast tide lasted only a few seconds.

More strange beasts emerged from the distant crimson mist.

The beasts, stunned by the giant club, regrouped, their crimson eyes blazing, and charged toward the city wall once more.

The hearts of everyone on the city wall were in their throats again.

Just then, a slender figure stepped out from the city wall.

Li An took a step and appeared in mid-air.

Li An stared at the horde of beasts with his grey eyes and slowly raised his right hand.

The moment she raised her hand, the beasts at the forefront stopped abruptly, as if something was pressing down on them.

Li An gently flipped his hand over.

Centered on her, a white icy flame condensed from the void.

The icy flames were extremely cold and piercing, yet they also possessed an intensely hot aura.

"Click—"

The first icy flame landed on the head of a Thunder Beast.

Before the Thunder Beast could even struggle, a layer of transparent frost rapidly spread from its head to its eyes, mouth, neck, body, and limbs.

The whole process took less than half a second; it was frozen into an ice sculpture, maintaining its charging posture and frozen in place.

Then, the second, the third, the fourth... countless ice crystals drifted down from the sky, like a sudden cold snap snow, silently covering the vanguard of the beast tide.

On the city wall, everyone held their breath.

"Click, click, click—"

The ice crystals spread at an incredible speed.

The beasts were turned into ice sculptures, each one still in a menacing pose.

An atmosphere of extreme cold and intense heat permeated the air.

Li An stopped.

"Whoosh—"

All the ice crystals shattered at the same instant, turning into countless fine white powders that drifted down from the sky.

The herds of animals within a radius of several kilometers disappeared, and the ground was covered with a layer of white powder.

On the city wall, there was complete silence.

All eyes were fixed on that small, thin figure.

An A-level ability user's legs went weak, and he leaned against the battlement, his voice trembling: "This... what kind of ability is this..."

Zhou Yao's young wives peeked out from behind the stack, their mouths agape in an "O" shape.

"Honey, that woman... is even fiercer than you," a young wife whispered.

Zhou Yao slapped her on the back of the head: "Nonsense."

Her gaze shifted from Li An to Fatty Li, who was drinking goji berry water not far away, before returning to Li An.

With a fat man and Li An, Jiangnan City is safe with these two monsters around!

Fatty Li screwed the lid on his thermos, glanced at the small, thin figure in mid-air, and muttered, "Awesome."

The S-class woman beside him whispered, "Honey, can you beat her?"

Fatty Li was silent for two seconds, then said expressionlessly, "My second brother is tired."

Outside the city, amidst the crimson fog, the beast tide finally came to a true halt.

A sense of instinctive fear arose, and the beasts in the first few rows began to retreat. The beasts behind dared not push forward, and the entire beast tide was caught in a dilemma.

In the heart of the Kashgar Mountains, a golden-eyed beast began to growl.

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction; Li An's strength had already surpassed SSS level.

"Continue," Wang Wei ordered softly.

Continue the attack.

Without the slightest hesitation, the golden-eyed beast let out a low-frequency roar that echoed from the Kashgar Mountains.

Outside the city, the crimson fog gathered again.

After a brief period of chaos, the beast tide slowly began to advance again.

Li An attacked again, and icy flames fell like snowflakes from the sky!

When the beast horde came into contact with the ice flame snowflakes, their massive bodies melted like paper.

Tens of thousands of eyes were watching from the city wall.

"Is this... the strength of our Jiangnan City?"
