Everyone was stunned, as they saw the Steel Eagle that was nailed to death in midair, and took a deep breath.
“What’s happened?”
“Who killed the Steel Eagle?”
Wang Chao’s voice rang across the city bulwark.
Yeah!
Who killed the Steel Eagle?
This was also the question in everyone’s minds.
Bam!
The Steel Eagle’s massive corpse fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground, killing a large number of low-level Direbeasts, and smashing a massive crater in the ground.
At the same time, all of the black feathers that were being shot at everyone fell onto the ground like dumplings, and the crisis above everyone’s head was instantly resolved.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as a big question was raised:
Who saved them?
“Has our reinforcements arrived?”
“May… be?”
While everyone was puzzled, a figure appeared in the air. Upon seeing this person, many people were slightly stunned.
He’s… Ling Jiu?” Luo Jia exclaimed.
“Isn’t that Captain Ling?”
The members of the Windchaser Squad and the T-Rex Squad stared on with wide eyes. “Could it be that Cap’n Ling has saved us? But how is that possible?”
“Nothing impossible about that!”
Chen Feng, the captain of the Windchaser Squad was invigorated. “Long before he went to the super training camp, Captain Ling can already kill Class 5 Direbeasts.”
“Now that he has undergone training in the training camp, his strength will definitely be even more terrifying. It’s not impossible for him to kill a Class 6 Direbeast!”
“You’re right, Captain!”
The Windchaser squad members all nodded.
“Ling Jiu killed the Steel Eagle just now?”
Wang Chao in the command room also saw Ling Jiu, and could not help but exclaim. He had never doubted Ling Jiu’s talents, and his future was limitless.
Nevertheless, it had only been a short time since, and Ling Jiu could now hunt down Class 6 Direbeasts?
For a moment, everyone present focused their eyes on Ling Jiu at the same time. The remaining 20 Class 6 Direbeasts and the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent were no exception.
“Roar!!!”
The 20 Class 6 Direbeasts stopped attacking the city bulwark, as hot breath emanating from their nostrils and their icy eyes stared coldly at Ling Jiu as they let out low growls.
“Enough! Time to die!”
Ling Jiu made an outward grabbing motion with his right hand, and the sharp blade that had killed the Steel Eagle turned into a stream of light and flew back to his hand. Then, it split from one to two, and from two to four…
Almost instantly, 20 sharp swords appeared in front of him.
“Go!”
Ling Jiu waved his hand, and the 20 sharp blades transformed into 20 streams of light as they blasted at the 20 Class 6 Direbeasts.
“Roar!!!”
Seeing this, all 20 of the Class 6 Direbeasts growled as they quickly retreated.
If the Steel Eagle with its steel-like feathers could be nailed by the blades, they certainly did not think their hides were much tougher than the Steel Eagle.
So, they quickly retreated!
“You think you can run?”
The corner of Ling Jiu’s mouth rose slightly as his eyes gleamed, and the 20 sharp blades suddenly disappeared before the full view of everyone.
Seeing the sharp blades disappear, all 20 Class 6 Direbeasts like the Titan Tempest Ape all stopped one after another, with confusion in their eyes. Where did the blades go?
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, the vanished blades reappeared and were just inches away from the heads of the Class 6 Direbeasts.
Dodge?
There was no dodging!
“Roar!!!”
The 20 Class 6 Direbeasts had no time to dodge, and the sharp blades pierced through their heads instantly as their bodies froze and their eyes widened.
And then, they all fell into the ground unmoving. They were all dead!
“They’re… dead?”
“Twenty Class 6 Direbeasts died just like that?”
“Am I dreaming…”
Looking at the 20 Class 6 Direbeasts that had been menacing and on the brink of destroying everything just moments earlier now lying dead on the ground, everyone was stunned.
Killing… Killing 20 Class 6 Direbeasts in seconds!
It was just like a dream.
“No! This can’t be real! How could Ling Jiu kill 20 Class 6 Direbeasts?”
“Killing 20 Class 6 Direbeasts in one move… Is he still human?”
“A… mazing!”
After a short moment of silence, a loud cheer erupted from the city’s bulwark.
Be it the managers like Luo Jia, or Arcanists like Chen Feng, or military personnel like Wang Chao, all of them rejoiced and their morale reinvigorated.
“I knew it, I knew it!”
Luo Jia was very excited. “The news from the training camp was true! Ling Jiu really has the power to kill a Class 7 Direbeast!”
“Miss Luo, is he the ace genius of Pangu’s super training camp?” The Vulcan General Manager, Jiang Chong looked at Ling Jiu who was standing proudly in the air and could not help but ask.
“Yes, he is Ling Jiu!”
Luo Jia wore a proud look.
“For Jin Chao to be defeated in the hands of such a genius, understandable!” Jiang Chong said slowly.
“What’s Jin Chao again?”
Luo Jia proudly said, “Ling Jiu is destined to enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp, and when he comes out of it, he’ll be an Ultimate Arcanist, Jin Chao won’t even be worthy enough to be his shoe bearer!”
Jiang Chong was speechless. Jin Chao was indeed just a Level 5 Arcanist and truly unworthy of even being the shoe bearer of an Ultimate Arcanist.
“Has Cap’n Ling gotten so strong?”
Huang Hailong, the captain of the T-Rex Squad sighed. “He has only gone to the super training camp for barely three months, and he’s slaughtering Class 6 Direbeasts like they’re pigs and dogs. By the time he graduates from the camp, how strong will he be?”
“Too strong! Captain Ling is only 17 years old this year, right?”
“A 17-year-old Level 6 Arcanist… no, Level 7 Arcanist. That’s straight-up freakish!”
“I’ve never thought that we’ve worked with Captain Ling before, we sure got tales to tell from now on…”
The members of T-Rex Squad all sighed in amazement.
On the other hand.
Killing 20 Class 6 Direbeasts was like a trivial thing for Ling Jiu. He ignored the Class 6 Direbeast corpses but instead looked at the instigator of this Beast Tide, the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent.
The Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent stared at Ling Jiu, feeling a slight threat from the latter.
“You wicked beast, how dare you run rampant here. If you don’t surrender now, when then?” Ling Jiu shouted coldly.
“Raaaaawrrrr…”
The Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent growled as it flicked its long tail and attacked.
“It’s attacking!”
“The Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent is attacking!”
Everyone was paying full attention to the movements of the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent, and seeing it attack, everyone immediately exclaimed.
“Ling Jiu, watch out!”
Wang Chao shouted a loud reminder.
“You’re just courting death.”
The calmest person in the entire place was Ling Jiu. He did not dodge or evade, and let the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent charge at him, which had everyone panicking.
Yet, just as the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent’s claws were raised into the air and about to slash at Ling Jiu, the claws suddenly stopped in midair.
“It stopped?”
Everyone was slightly stunned.
“Die!”
Ling Jiu’s figure flickered and reappeared before the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent, and then he grabbed the air as the 20 sharp blades all returned and reformed.
In the blink of an eye, a 40-meter-long broadsword was formed.
“Die!”
Ling Jiu held the 40-meter broadsword, and with a single slash, blood sprayed all over as a massive head flew into the air.
Schkkk!
It then crashed heavily into the ground alongside its headless corpse, crushing countless Direbeasts in its wake.
…
There was nothing but silence.
“He killed even the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent in seconds? Is he still human?”
Thes sound of saliva-swallowing and gasps rang out from the city bulwark as everyone was shocked.
When Ling Jiu had killed the 21 Class 6 Direbeasts earlier, although everyone was shocked, they could still accept it, but to kill the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent in seconds was just too incredible.
That was a Class 7 Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent, and it got beheaded by Ling Jiu just like that. How strong was Ling Jiu?
“Cap’n Ling is… awesome!”
“He’s amazing!”
The shock of the people aside, after killing the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent, Ling Jiu did not stay idle as he looked at the Beast Tide that had already begun to rout and flee.
With the 21 Class 6 Direbeasts slain, and the Beast Lord also dead, without their leaders, the Beast Tide would naturally scatter.
Normally, Ling Jiu could not be bothered with these gnats, but today, he did not plan to let these low-level Direbeasts escape.
“If I want to kill… I’ll kill all of them!”
Ling Jiu then faintly said, “Two hundred times the gravity!”
Baaaam!!
An unparalleled, terrifying gravitational force rushed out of Ling Jiu and instantly shrouding a 500-square-meter radius.
In just an instant, all of the Direbeasts in this radius had their brains and organs crushed as all of them dropped dead.
Immediately after, Ling Jiu reappeared at another place, and countles more Direbeasts perished.
Twisting and turning, and with successive Blinks…
In just a minute, the massive Beast Tide was greatly diminished, with almost half of the Direbeasts already crushed to death.
The remaining Direbeasts were scared witless as they fled helter-skelter, wishing they had an extra pair of limbs. But alas, it was useless, no matter how fast they ran, it was no faster than Blink.
In the end, the entire Beast Tide was wiped out, as only piles and piles of corpses lay on the ground with nary a Direbeast left alive, nor did any managed to flee alive.
The scene was just very mind-numbing.
“What was that?”
“Is what killing machine is like?”
“I’ve lived for so long and I’ve never seen anything like this before. A massive Beast Tide being wiped out!”
“Is this how Ling Jiu is now?”
“Scary!”
Everyone could not help but gasp, as they were astonished.
…
“Xiaojiu is that strong?”
Inside the airship, Yang Su witnessed the entire scene of Ling Jiu annihilating the Beast Tide, and she was both shocked and proud at the same time.
She could have never imagined that her son that she had not seen for more than a decade would be so powerful that he could suppress an entire Beast Tide on his own, it was like…
Yang Su could not find the right words to describe it!
“Brother has always been strong!”
Yang Ling’er said proudly. “During the training camp, he dominated the top ranking for six weeks in a row, and then beat nearly ten thousand trainees by an overwhelming margin in the Hunt on Pandora competition.”
“He has now successfully graduated from the camp in advance and will be entering the Ultimate Matriculation Camp soon!”
“That is my Xiaojiu!”
Yang Su had tears in her eyes.
At this moment, Ling Jiu suddenly returned to the airship and said to the two with a smile, “The Beast Tide has been dealt with, so we can go home now!”
“Yes, go home!”
Yang Ling’er and Yang Su perked up, with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
After that, Ling Jiu brought the two into the base city, and returned to the Great Tang Residence as the ship hovered above their villa.
At this moment, Ling Tianci and Ling Xiaotong who had long received the news were waiting nervously.
The father and daughter were both excited, yet their eyes could not hide the anxiety within.
A wife that one had not seen for 16 years!
A mother that one had not seen for 16 years!
Today, the wife (mother) was finally back, and they were anxious.
At this moment, the airship landed, and a magnificent-looking woman came out first.
The moment he saw the lady, Ling Tianci’s tears flowed wildly. It was not like men do not cry, it was just that their hurt points had not been pricked yet.
Ling Tianci!
A stubborn, strong man who was like a steel tower that had supported his family alone, cried at the first sight of his wife.
“Tianci!”
Yang Su cried as well as she threw herself into her husband’s embrace.
“Susu!”
For a good while, only the cries of the husband and wife could be heard from the villa…
