Chapter 108 - Air Raid (II)
Chapter 108: Air Raid (II)
Chen Yiming sat cross-legged on the roof of a building that was 100 meters tall and watched everything unfold quietly.
“When you don’t have enough power, you need to protect yourself first before trying to help everyone,” he sighed and muttered to himself.
He did have the ability to change the outcome of this aerial assault to a certain extent.
With his Level-2 swordsmanship talent and Level-1 Undying Body talent, he had the strength to be almost invincible among his peers in a small place like East Lake City. It would not even be a problem for him to fight multiple opponents at once.
After all, he had the Level-1 Undying Body talent, which allowed him to continuously recover his stamina and internal force. He was not afraid of a tag-team battle at all.
As he sighed, five bird-type mutant beasts flew over from afar.
The five bird-type mutant beasts were all about seven to eight meters long. They had destroyed the buildings at the edge of the city center and continued to destroy more buildings as they made their way deeper into the city center.
“However, even if I can’t use my full strength to change the outcome of this aerial assault, I can still protect an area of about one kilometer around me.” Chen Yiming stood up and glanced at the five bird-type mutant beasts flying towards him.
With the enhancement from the Level-1 Undying Body talent, even the trace of lightning power from his gaze had an extraordinary amount of vital force.
This trace power of lightning was transmitted to the five bird-type mutant beasts through an electromagnetic field, and a feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout their bodies.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yiming leaped forward onto a rooftop dozens of meters away. Making use of the momentum, he arrived in front of one of the flying mutant beasts in the blink of an eye.
This flying mutant beast happened to be heading towards Jingyue District. It swooped down from the supermarket opposite the district and inexplicably felt numb from an electric shock.
From the corner of its eye, it saw a human who was much smaller than it rushing towards it from just two to three meters away. Its pupils instantly enlarged by 30%.
“Slash!”
Updates by
A low growl sounded.
The bird-type mutant beast’s neck was slashed by a white flash from a sword, and blood instantly sprayed out, turning into a rain of blood that fell towards the ground.
Chen Yiming had killed a flying mutant beast in one strike. He had nowhere to land on and fell from a height of dozens of meters.
“Bang! Boom!”
The sound of two heavy objects consecutively falling to the ground rang out. The first sound was much softer than the second.
At the spot where Chen Yiming landed, a hole about three meters in diameter had opened up. Behind him, a seven to eight-meter-long bird fell into a basketball court.
A huge hole with a diameter of more than 30 meters appeared on the basketball court. Countless specks of dust rose up and turned into a dust cloud that spread in all directions.
The remaining four bird-type mutant beasts couldn’t hide the fear in their eyes. After letting out ear-piercing screeches, they flapped their wings and flew away from Chen Yiming.
Chen Yiming looked up at a bird-type mutant beast that was flying in the direction of his house. Without any hesitation, he leaped into the sky again and turned into a black shadow as he charged at it.
His speed was extremely fast, and he caught up to the bird-type mutant beast in the blink of an eye.
The bird-type mutant beast felt the wind behind it and the feathers on its body exploded. It flapped its wings with all its might, trying to fly higher.
“Die!”
Chen Yiming kicked the flying mutant beast in the stomach.
On one side was a human less than two meters tall, and on the other was a bird-type mutant beast that was seven to eight meters long. However, the bird-type mutant beast was completely unable to withstand the attack and was sent flying.
Chen Yiming abandoned his sword and used his feet to forcefully change the direction of the flying mutant beast, causing it to avoid the building his house was in and crash into a street outside the residential district instead.
“Boom!”
Another loud bang rang out.
The bird-type mutant beast’s seven to eight-meter-long body split the road into two.
The improvement that the warrior realm brought to one’s body was not something that could be made up for by one’s size. The difference between Chen Yiming’s body and that of the bird-type mutant beast was like the difference between a steel knife and a piece of tofu.
Even though the tofu was dozens of times larger than the knife, it could still be easily cut through by the knife.
After killing the second bird-type mutant beast, Chen Yiming leaped back to the roof of the building where his house was. The remaining three bird-type mutant beasts had already flown a kilometer or two away.
He stood on the roof and observed the situation in the entire city.
The interior of East Lake City was being attacked by flying mutant beasts, and in just 10 minutes, half of it was already destroyed.
When the flying mutant beasts encountered opponents of the same level, they often did not engage them. Instead, they focused on destroying the buildings in the city.
In the government office area in the west of the city, all the flying mutant beasts were held back a kilometer away.
Other than the periphery of the city center, only a small portion of the interior had been destroyed.
Most of the flying mutant beasts that tried to break through the blockade were killed by the experts from the various martial arts schools and corporations, just like the two flying mutant beasts that Chen Yiming had killed.
Most of the destruction was concentrated in the suburbs. Although there were also a large number of martial arts clans in the suburbs, including the seven major martial arts clans, these clans could only concentrate on defending their own bases.
At this moment, the suburbs in all four directions of East Lake City were filled with collapsed houses, burning factories, and people running for their lives.
Countless flying mutant beasts that were three to four meters long were killing wantonly, and it seemed as though the end of the world had arrived.
These flying mutant beasts that were three to four meters long had the strength equivalent to a human who had undergone six transformations. They relied on their flying ability to toy with humans who had a similar level of strength.
“If the air raid had happened half a year earlier, I would probably have been like those people,” Chen Yiming sighed.
After recalling the tragedy caused by the beast tide entering the city, he looked at the three main battlefields in East Lake City.
These three battlefields were related to the three flying mutant beasts that had the strength of the warrior realm. They were about the same size as the giant blazing sun lizard that Chen Yiming had killed in the Nuhe Mountain Range, and were all about 10 meters long.
At this moment, the three flying mutant beasts were circling more than 100 meters above the city. Behind each of them were four warriors.
These 12 warriors were all from the military. Each of them was covered in a layer of internal force. From afar, they looked like balls of flames, poisonous fog, and ice…
This was created by their internal forces with different attributes. In terms of defense, it was equivalent to wearing an invisible layer of armor. As long as this layer of armor was not not completely broken through, the warriors using the internal force would not suffer any fatal injuries.
“The military actually can’t deal with those three bird-type mutant beasts!” Chen Yiming exclaimed.
He was certain that in the military, there were people who had gone even further in the warrior realm.
Back when Chen Yiming participated in the auction organized by Liu Wanqing, he had heard that the incomplete warrior realm fist technique, the Danyang Fist, was used by a person who had cultivated to the second stage of the warrior realm.
After Chen Yiming broke through to the warrior realm, his strength had been accumulating slowly, but had not improved qualitatively. Clearly, he was still at the first stage of the warrior realm.
Even the concept diagram of the incomplete Danyang Fist Technique had been drawn retrospectively, so it was impossible for there to be a cultivation method for the second stage of the warrior realm in it. Chen Yiming had also yet to obtain any relevant clues for the next stage.
“Could it be that in this air raid, there are flying mutant beasts stronger than those in the first stage of the warrior realm who managed to hold back the military personnel from the same realm?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was most likely the case. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the three flying mutant beasts had managed to stay alive for so long.
As for the master realm, which was the realm after the warrior realm, Chen Yiming didn’t think that there would be someone of that level in East Lake City. Otherwise, the war in the west wouldn’t have lasted so long.
“What a pity.” Chen Yiming sighed.
The air raid had happened in East Lake City, and he still had to protect his family, so he could not leave.
If this had happened in the Nuhe Mountain Range, Chen Yiming would definitely not have missed this opportunity. He would definitely have gone to investigate.
Although he had yet to reach the end of the first stage of the warrior realm, he still needed to plan ahead. Otherwise, he might reach a bottleneck one day.
He had already formed a habit of breaking through the various barriers along the path of cultivation. If he was suddenly stopped because he lacked the corresponding cultivation technique, it would really be uncomfortable for him.
