Heroes Return

The entire city wall fell into a brief silence after Lin Jie's two blows. The hundreds of thousands of troops on the wall were so intimidated by one person that they dared not move.

The intense killing intent made everyone who approached Lin Jie feel a chill run down their spines. When each sea warrior looked at Lin Jie, it was as if they were looking at an ancient, ferocious beast, not a person.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" A clapping sound suddenly rang out from the crowd, and a sea creature wearing blue armor stepped out from the crowd: "With this battle-hardened aura, it seems you must have experienced many fierce battles. But it seems your fighting career is coming to an end today."

As he spoke, the man took the lead and charged towards Lin Jie. He was extremely fast, appearing beside Lin Jie almost the instant he lifted his foot. The weapon in his hand gleamed with a dazzling blue light.

"Remember, the one who defeated you was me, a member of the sea race..."

He originally wanted to arrogantly show off to Lin Jie, but unfortunately he underestimated Lin Jie's strength.

The moment he appeared beside Lin Jie, the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand appeared before him. The iron rod, imbued with immense power, swept towards the sea monster general with a speed exceeding the sea monster's reaction time.

A powerful shockwave emanated from Lin Jie and his companion, spreading outwards in all directions.

An older-looking sea creature appeared between Lin Jie and the sea creature general, holding a spear that was shimmering with blue light.

“You underestimate your enemy,” the sea creature said to the sea creature general behind him. “This man is not someone you can deal with alone.”

"Looks like neither of you can do it either," Lin Jie said calmly, then suddenly increased the force in his hand on the iron bar.

Suddenly, the sea general felt a powerful force rushing towards him. Despite using all his strength, he was still unable to stop the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand.

The two sea tribe generals were swept away by Lin Jie's iron rod in the few seconds it took for them to come into contact with each other, and fell into the sea outside the city.

At the same time, Lin Jie charged toward the defenders on the city wall, which immediately turned into a one-sided torture.

Although there were many soldiers guarding the city walls, under Lin Jie's sweeping iron rod, many of them could not withstand a single blow and were swept back into the sea outside the city by the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand.

Meanwhile, the sea tribe army outside the city began to swarm towards the city walls in an endless stream, as if it were an endless battle. Lin Jie, who had gradually reached the highest point of the city wall, faced the ever-rushing sea tribe army and at this moment truly demonstrated what it meant to sweep away thousands of troops.

With a swing of his iron rod, Lin Jie instantly swept hundreds of sea creature soldiers into the sky, sending them plummeting back into the sea.

Standing atop the city wall, Lin Jie had already shocked the entire sea tribe's army, including Karu, with his actions.

Looking at the image in the crystal, Karu couldn't help but roar angrily: "All those with human strength above S-rank, move out! Kill him no matter what! If an army of millions can't even kill one human, what are you talking about taking revenge on humanity?"

Following Karu's words, a large number of powerful sea creatures rushed towards the city wall.

Lin Jie's performance successfully shocked Karu. It's important to understand that Lin Jie wasn't facing an ordinary team, but elite soldiers whose individual strength was generally at the D and E level, as well as centurions, chiliarchs, and even generals.

In Karu's eyes, even S-rank or SS-rank powerhouses would have no choice but to retreat when faced with such a massive army. However, the person in the scene before him shattered his understanding of individual strength. Facing the entire sea race's army alone, he showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he fought with increasing ferocity.

If there were more beings like this among humanity, their plans for revenge against us would become an utterly ridiculous joke.

Gazing at the man standing amidst the chaos of battle, his iron rod sweeping across the battlefield, easily dispatching hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers, it was as if he were mocking the sea tribe's army, saying, "With your strength, no matter how many of you come, you cannot defeat me!"

Even Karu felt a chill the moment he saw Lin Jie attack.

If Thirteen and Haina hadn't rescued the humans from the consulate, Karu might have personally gone to the city walls to fight the man who had swept through the enemy ranks. But he planned to stay here and deal with those humans and Haina himself. Only then could he deal with the monster on the city walls with peace of mind.

At this moment, at the highest point of the city wall, Lin Jie stood quietly, his iron rod sweeping across the ground, sending countless salted fish flying.

Lin Jie had successfully rediscovered the feeling he had when he was playing Musou. A sea tribe army of several hundred men? With a sweep of his iron rod, they didn't even have a chance to react before being sent flying back into the sea by Lin Jie's blow.

A massive army of salted fish launched an attack? Iron bars swept across, and in seconds the salted fish were sent back into the sea.

Thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals? As they approached Lin Jie, Lin Jie still swept them away with overwhelming force, sending them back to the sea.

An endless stream of troops surged toward Lin Jie's direction, while countless soldiers flew back into the sea.

A large number of enormous sea beasts attacked Lin Jie's direction, and Lin Jie, as if hitting a baseball, knocked these giant sea beasts that kept surging up one by one away.

Huge size? What a joke, one hit and you're still flying.

Gradually, a large number of powerful sea creature experts began to attack Lin Jie.

The incredibly fast sea creature warriors began trying to disrupt Lin Jie's attack rhythm, buying time for the warriors behind them to unleash their powerful skills. However, they made a fatal mistake: their speed was clearly no match for the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand, and most of them returned to the sea the instant they approached him.

A few powerful sea creatures were also forced back into the sea by Lin Jie's rapid attacks. Just as Lin Jie swept these speed-type sea creatures back into the sea, a huge giant formed from seawater stood up from the ocean. Its height had already exceeded the highest point of the entire city wall.

A fist, as powerful as a monstrous wave, crashed down on Lin Jie, while Lin Jie's iron rod met the monstrous wave head-on.

With a single blow, the towering waves were split in two, and the enormous sea giant was also split in two by Lin Jie's blow, thus transforming the massive sea giant back into two huge streams of water that returned to the sea.

But just as the sea giant was cleaved in two by Lin Jie's staff, four more sea giants rose from the sea surface once more.

A beautiful sea creature woman stood atop a sea giant, chanting incessantly. Accompanying her song-like chant, massive water swords capable of piercing steel shot towards Lin Jie.

At the same time, Lin Jie swung the iron rod continuously, and the iron rod collided with the water sword.

Each water sword shattered into ordinary water mist the instant it made contact with the iron rod. At the same moment Lin Jie blocked the water sword attack, a series of loud crackling sounds echoed across the entire city wall.

A man enveloped in blinding lightning charged toward Lin Jie. The entire city wall was now covered in water from the seawater.

As the man led Lin Jie towards him, the entire city wall was instantly filled with thick electric current.

The sea creature man attacked Lin Jie like a bolt of lightning.

Then Lin Jie swept his iron bar across, sending the man flying like a baseball. The single man flashed across the city wall like lightning…

After knocking down a sea giant, it continued flying away into the distance without losing momentum.

At the same time, Lin Jie swept his iron rod across the area once more, and the seawater that was still electrified around him was scattered in all directions by the sweep of Lin Jie's rod.

At the same time, the iron fist of the sea giant on the city wall attacked Lin Jie's position once again.

Two enormous fists slammed down on Lin Jie's location simultaneously. The immense seawater and pressure shattered the ground beneath Lin Jie's feet, which had been reinforced by powerful magic. However, Lin Jie, enduring this terrifying attack head-on, raised the iron rod in his hand, one end of which pointed directly at the sea creature beauty.

The iron rod instantly lengthened, piercing through the sea giant's body and striking the sea creature beauty precisely on the forehead.

The sea creature beauty was thrown backwards as the iron rod struck her, falling into the sea. At the same time, several enormous sea giants turned into seawater.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

However, the disappearance of the sea giant did not end there. As the sea giant's figure transformed into a column of water, a sea creature man wielding a broadsword appeared within the column, the sword emitting a pale blue glow.

A massive sword light, hundreds of meters high, slashed down towards Lin Jie, enveloping him.

Before Lin Jie could retract his iron rod, a massive, bladeless sword appeared in his other hand amidst the devastating blow. With a single swing, he forcefully blocked the sword light that was powerful enough to pierce through the entire Sea King City.

As Lin Jie used his greatsword, Wufeng, to parry the sword light with one hand, a sea creature wielding dual pistols appeared beside him, thrusting the pistols toward Lin Jie's vitals.

Just then, the iron rod in Lin Jie's other hand returned to its original shape, and it met the attack of the dual-gun sea creature in front of him.

Iron rod and twin pistols clashed rapidly on the city wall. In just a few seconds, Lin Jie defended against hundreds of attacks from the sea creature. Sword energy and gale-force winds spread haphazardly in all directions from where the two clashed. Ordinary sea creature soldiers couldn't even get within a hundred meters of where the two were fighting.

At the same time, the powerful sea creature who had unleashed the powerful sword energy also erupted with a terrifying aura, blue energy surging continuously from his entire body. The seawater beneath his feet also surged into giant waves under the force of his immense power. His powerful sword strike, seemingly capable of slaying everything, clashed fiercely with the bladeless greatsword in Lin Jie's hand.

Lin Jie, who had just taken the direct hit, was now simultaneously swinging the iron rod in his other hand rapidly, constantly deflecting the attacks from the sea creature's twin spears.

Lin Jie's speed suddenly increased, and the force of the iron rod suddenly doubled, colliding with the spear.

Upon contact, the sea creature man wielding dual pistols was sent flying by the powerful impact. At the same time, Lin Jie suddenly increased the force of his other hand.

The sea creature expert, who had originally intended to unleash his power to suppress Lin Jie, felt an immense force as Lin Jie's power increased. The tsunami-like aura emanating from him was instantly halted, and he was then slammed back into the sea by the powerful force of the giant sword, Wufeng.

At the same time, a faint harp melody drifted from the city wall, its sound carrying a quiet, deathly stillness. It immediately drew Lin Jie's attention. Not far from him, a beautiful woman in a long dress was gently caressing a harp. As the music began, the strength of the surging sea creatures surged dramatically.

If his original strength was D-rank, then now, with the harp's blessing, it has been forcibly raised to B-rank.

However, it was all for naught. Lin Jie calmly swept his iron rod across the water, creating the bizarre scene of countless salted fish flying into the sea.

But this time, a ghostly figure dodged Lin Jie's iron rod attack. A sexy sea creature girl appeared eerily in front of Lin Jie, her two short knives aimed at his vital points at a tricky angle.

The speed was incredibly fast, but it was clear that Lin Jie was faster.

Lin Jie brought down the iron rod in his hand at a speed exceeding that of the short sword, and just as the iron rod was about to touch the top of the girl's head, the girl's body suddenly transformed into two, stabbing at Lin Jie's vital points from both sides.

However, the girl clearly forgot the power of Lin Jie's swing. Although she dodged Lin Jie's attack, the iron rod brought up a terrifying strong wind when it landed between the girls, and the two figures were swept away to the sides by the strong wind.

At the same time, a strong man appeared in Lin Jie's field of vision. He had a long white beard, which made him look quite old.

The man appeared abruptly in front of Lin Jie as if by teleportation, his left arm muscles instantly doubling in size. A punch, even more explosive than the previous sword energy, slammed towards Lin Jie.

Lin Jie held the iron rod in front of him, and a loud bang resounded throughout the entire Sea King City at that moment.

With a deafening roar, the powerful sea creature continued to unleash a barrage of punches. In just two seconds, he had delivered hundreds of blows to Lin Jie.

However, it was all for naught. Just when he was confident that he could hurt Lin Jie, Lin Jie's iron rod accurately struck his stomach, and the powerful force was transmitted directly through his body to his back.

Many of the sea tribe generals who were planning to seize the opportunity to attack Lin Jie were swept away.

The strong sea creature also struggled to hold his stomach, took a few steps back, and knelt down.

Just then, the harp music rang out once more, and with it, the strong sea warrior rose again, unleashing an even more ferocious attack on Lin Jie.

At this moment, Lin Jie swept his iron rod horizontally, striking the man at an extremely fast speed. Although the man was extremely focused, the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand seemed to have a 'sure hit' buff, making it difficult for him to dodge.

Despite possessing the strongest power among the sea creatures, he was still sent flying backward by Lin Jie's blow.

As Lin Jie sent the powerful sea creature flying, he swiftly reached up and grabbed at the air. A young girl was pulled out of his grasp, her body splitting into three once more, but she didn't escape Lin Jie's hand. Because the moment she split, her three clones instantly reverted back to one person.

Amidst the girl's shocked gaze, Lin Jie flicked his hand, sending the girl flying.

After flipping over in mid-air, the girl landed next to the harp-playing girl, who then stopped playing and looked at Lin Jie.

At the same time, a huge sea giant appeared in front of Lin Jie once again. A beautiful sea creature stood on the sea giant's head, but this time her forehead had some red swelling.

A man stood in each of the sea giant's hands, one of whom was the man who had previously used electricity on Lin Jie. The other was the sea creature man wielding the broadsword.

The muscular sea creature man who had just been knocked away by Lin Jie leaped back onto the city wall, into the pile of rubble beside him. The sea creature wielding dual pistols also slowly stood up.

At the same time, a large number of sea creature troops emerged around Lin Jie, led by the young sea creature general who had been swept back into the sea by Lin Jie and the older sea creature general who had taken a blow from Lin Jie's staff.

Although surrounded by many people, Lin Jie showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he watched with great interest these powerful sea creatures with whom he had just briefly clashed.

Meanwhile, the powerful sea creatures were also observing Lin Jie, and the city wall fell silent once again.

"Hey, does this guy have absolutely no weaknesses or flaws?" The sea creature man holding two long spears muttered to the people around him.

"Whether it's magic resistance, strength, or speed, they are like monsters," the muscular sea creature said calmly.

“But for some reason, he didn’t seem to have any intention of killing us,” said the beautiful sea creature standing on the giant sea giant. “Judging from our exchange just now, he could have killed most of us.”

"Your senses are incredibly sharp..." the girl holding two short swords said to Lin Jie, "It's as if you have no weaknesses at all."

“In all our individual encounters with him so far, no one has been able to last more than twenty seconds.” The sea creature beauty with the harp also came to the group’s side: “Moreover, my war timbre has absolutely no effect on him.”

"This is not a powerful opponent that we can face alone," the older sea creature general said calmly. "In every aspect of strength, we are inferior to him. Even the Broadsword, which has been promoted to SS-level, cannot contend with him head-on."

"Then what should we do? Launch an artillery barrage?" the young sea creature general asked.

"Wait a minute, Lord Karaka is on his way," said the sea creature wielding a broadsword. "At the same time, the magic and artillery teams are preparing for long-range attacks. No matter how many people below S-rank come, it won't do any good against this guy."

"Are you guys ever going to stop whispering like that? Are you even going to start fighting or not?" Lin Jie was getting a little bored. After all, being stared at by countless eyes and by a bunch of lazy bums wasn't a pleasant feeling. If they kept watching, Lin Jie might start to feel awkward.
