There is a martial artist wearing the Divine Managent Bureau uniform.
Not just one!
But they... are not fighting, rather... facing death!
One martial artist’s half body has been smashed into a bloody ss, relying on just one arm, he clings tightly to a monster’s thick limb, flowing with corrosive mucus, as blood spurts from his mouth, his gaze firmly locked in the direction of the force field barrier, shouting sothing with his last ounce of power.
And farther out, a middle-aged man who looks like a captain, with a huge, transparent bloody hole in his chest, leans against a broken wall, no longer breathing.
Yet his actions before dying... are still crawling forward.
Ahead, is where the Life Ghost is.
Everyone left alive inside, their eyes lack desire, only possessing an almost numb determination and... command!
They use their gaze and the last movents of their broken bodies to convey a ssage with stunning clarity.
Maintain the force field at all costs!
Wait for support!
Even if we’re all dead...!
Fang Qingyu finally understood the answer to the previous question.
Why those people would really obey, not fleeing even in death?
Because this is the "rule"!
Once the force field is activated, unless the Life Ghost is completely eradicated, the activator must not leave! It’s an iron law forged with life and flesh!
It’s the last line of defense to protect ordinary people outside, to prevent the disaster from spreading!
From the mont they step into the field, they’ve placed their lives on the other end of the balance.
It’s not that they don’t want to run, but they can’t!
Even their bodies have beco the final chains to maintain the force field, trapping the monster!
The awareness of inevitable death, yet still using their broken bodies, using their last bit of will to fulfill their duty, to fight for even the smallest hope for those coming later... it’s suffocatingly heavy.
Jiang Wei bit her lip, her small body tense as she looked at the indescribably tragic scene, at the solidified determination in the martial artists’ eyes, then looked at Fang Qingyu.
Fang Qingyu stood in the rain, water streaming down his resolute cheeks.
He looked at the hellish scene within the force field, at those comrades facing death, at the roaring giant creature, his gaze as cold as ice without any warmth.
No angry roars, no impulsive shouts.
Just slowly gripped the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash at his waist again.
The sword scabbard seed to retain the residual warmth from the previous battle.
"Prepare."
Fang Qingyu’s deep voice amid the torrential rain and the Life Ghost’s roars, like ice into boiling water, instantly jolted Qin Hui and the others who just experienced the dizzying transportation.
"I’ll clear the battlefield, you rescue!"
The goal was unmistakably clear, rescuing takes precedence! But the prerequisite is to suppress that rampaging, life-reaping giant beast!
"Yes!"
No one hesitated for a mont, snapping out of the shock brought on by the scene before them.
They saw the martial artist clinging tightly to the Life Ghost’s limb, they saw the captain’s body still crawling in death, and they saw the blurry figures under the giant shadow of the Life Ghost, still struggling to advance and help...
And Fang Qingyu, the mont he finished speaking.
His entire being turned into a bolt of thunder tearing through the rain!
His target directly aiming at the terrifying giant monster nad [Furnace at Feed].
"Roar——!!"
The Furnace at Feed also clearly detected the new intruder, its massive body, forged from twisted tal and decayed flesh, suddenly turned towards Fang Qingyu’s charging direction.
The ’core’ on its upper torso, resembling a giant furnace opening, instantaneously glowed with an intense dark red light, as if scalding lava was roiling within!
A scorching stench mixed with sulfur, rust, and charred flesh burst forth!
It abandoned the "little insects" beneath its feet, a massive arm forged from corroded steel pipes and writhing flesh, whistling through the air like a siege hamr, smashed fiercely towards Fang Qingyu’s tiny figure!
"Thunder Instant!"
At the critical mont when the massive wall was about to crash down, Fang Qingyu’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a trail of rain mist that evaporated in an instant and an exploded muddy pit.
When he reappeared, he was already at the relatively vulnerable flank of the Forge Flesh, where corrupted tumors writhed alongside rusted tal plates, exuding a powerful stench.
"Returning to Silence!!!"
Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash emitted an excited buzzing! Black Fla and Golden Pattern instantly entwined the blade!
Without a hint of probing, Fang Qingyu’s strike was lethal. The blade turned into concentrated destructive thunder and slashed viciously at the connection between the writhing tumors and the tal plates.
"Pssst—"
The thunder penetrated without obstruction!
The Black Fla spread and burned wildly as if eting fat, while the Golden Pattern erupted with fine destructive force like needles. A viscous liquid, resembling a mix of asphalt and rust, gushed from the wound, instantly ignited by the Black Fla, transforming into a thick, stinking smoke!
"Roar——!!!"
The Forge Flesh let out an ear-deafening, pain-filled roar! Its massive body shuddered violently!
Clearly, it hadn’t expected that such a small human could inflict such imnse pain!
Just as Fang Qingyu scored a victory with one strike, drawing the full attention of the Forge Flesh!!
Qin Hui and Old Qiao, like two arrows released from a bow, had already dashed into that death zone!
"Hold on, brother!"
Qin Hui was the first to reach the Martial Artist who was tightly gripping the Life Ghost’s limb. Half of the martial artist’s body was almost turned into pulp, his consciousness blurred, still muttering unconsciously: "Force Field...maintenance...". Qin Hui’s eyes heated up, without a mont’s hesitation, he flooded his hand with Qi Force and fiercely slashed at the limb held by the martial artist.
Old Qiao, like a raging bull, charged directly at a team mber whose legs were pinned by a collapsed tal fra, struggling in vain. "Don’t move! I’m coming!" he growled, his calloused hands gripping the cold tal fra, muscles bulging all over his body, a deep roar erupting from his throat!
"Get up for !!!"
Creak—! The teeth-numbing sound of tal twisting rang out! Under Old Qiao’s brute force, the heavy fra was lifted to create a gap!
"Quick, pull him out!" Old Qiao shouted to Qi Hao not far away.
Qi Hao was already in position, and the mont Old Qiao lifted, he slid into the gap, grabbed the team mber’s feet, and used all his strength to pull him out!
"Watch your head!!"
Jiang Weiqing’s crisp yet calm voice suddenly rang out!!
Only to see the Forge Flesh, driven by pain and fury, its core resembling a furnace mouth suddenly aid at Qin Hui and Old Qiao beneath it, the dark red light becoming unbearably intense, an energy so scorching it warped the air gathering madly within!
Evidently, it intended to incinerate these pesky bugs alongside the one who caused it imnse pain with high temperatures!
"We’re in trouble..." Qin Hui and Old Qiao instantly felt their scalps tingle, the threat of death pouring over them like icy water.
At this critical juncture!
"Your opponent is !!"
Fang Qingyu’s icy voice exploded in the air; how could he allow this creature to interfere with the rescue?
At the mont when the Forge Flesh’s core aid below, he was already prepared!!
"Blood Burst, activate!!!"
Black Qi Fla erupted skyward.
Fang Qingyu abandoned further widening the flank wound, his figure transforming once more into a black thunderbolt!
This ti, Fang Qingyu leaped directly onto the Forge Flesh’s thick "neck," made of giant gears and twisted spines!
On the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash, the fusion of Black Fla and Golden Pattern reached a higher pinnacle! The destructive Black Fla compressed and condensed madly! The blade transford into a pitch-black thunderbolt containing the ultimate in penetration and annihilation!!
The target!
The soon-to-erupt furnace core!
"Shut up for !!!"
Fang Qingyu gripped the blade with both hands, descending like a demon from the abyss, driving the pitch-black thunderbolt, embodying his strongest power at the mont, fiercely towards the furnace core radiating destructive energy!!
"Boom——!!!"
An earth-shattering explosion resounded!
The pitch-black thunderbolt collided viciously with the dark red furnace stream! A terrifying energy shockwave burst open in a ring! Rainwater evaporated instantly into white mist! Mud and debris on the ground were thrown up like a tsunami!!
