Chapter 159 - 9 Retreat

Chapter 159 Retreat

The beautiful bubbles were mesmerizing and dream-like. Many people stared blankly at the six bubbles that enveloped the six Pangolin Beasts. No one seemed surprised, as if it was only natural.

This Void Bubble also seemed to have an illusionary effect. Back when Lin Feng first saw the Astral Bubble, even he was almost mesmerized by it.

However, no matter how beautiful the bubbles were, eventually, they would burst.

“Collapse!”

As Lin Feng’s cold voice sounded, the six magnificent Astral Bubbles began to collapse and shrink rapidly. In just an instant, the six bubbles disappeared.

The moment the six bubbles collapsed, the six Pangolin Beasts in the six bubbles finally jolted awake and let out pained screams. However, this only lasted for an instant before the six beasts could no longer make any more sounds.

They had already turned into a pool of flesh and blood that splattered to the ground.

No matter how strong the defenses of their skin were, no matter how enormous their bodies were, these were all useless before the collapse of Astral Bubbles.

When the bubbles collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, they were all reduced to a pool of flesh and blood. They did not even have the chance to struggle or resist.

The battlefield seemed to have fallen silent all of a sudden. All the imageries seemed to have frozen at this scene.

The beautiful bubble actually possessed such a formidable destructive power. It was simply the most dreadful means of killing, beautiful and palpitating. “Roar…”

However, no matter how strong Lin Feng was, he could only maintain six Astral Bubble with his current Astral Power. Now that his Astral Power was exhausted, there were still three more Pangolin Beasts charging towards him.

They were just too fast. He could not dodge, and could only resist them head-on!

“Hold!”

Boom.

This was a complete head-on clash. Lin Feng mobilized his defensive armor and focused all his strength on his body. This time, he had to resist. He had to resist no matter what.

If he couldn’t resist, he might very well die!

The three Pangolin Beasts charged with hatred. How frightening was such a strength? The strength of the Pangolin Beasts was already very strong. The strength of each Pangolin Beast demon was at least over 800 tons, or even 1,000 tons.

These three Pangolin Beast demons were clearly stronger. Each of them had at least 1,500 tons of strength.

Coupled with the fearsome impact of the charge, even Lin Feng did not have any confidence in withstanding such a dreaded force head-on. However, he had no other choice now. He could only resist it head-on.

Almost at the same time that Lin Feng unleashed six Astral Bubbles and was struck by the three Pangolin Beasts, some ordinary martial artists and Metamorphic Realm martial artists who were fighting valiantly, and were still exclaiming at the terrifying killing intent concealed behind the beautiful six bubbles, realized that Lin Feng was already in danger.

“No…”

“Chief Commander!”

“Impossible, the Chief Commander won’t die!”

The beautiful foam shattered in an instant. Lin Feng was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He felt as if all his bones had shattered, but the regenerative ability of the undying characteristic was frantically healing the injuries in his body.

However, this was not the end. One of the Pangolin Beasts shattered his sternum, and the second Pangolin Beast used its sharp claws to slash at Lin Feng’s head.

Lin Feng narrowly dodged the strike at his head, but the part below his shoulder was instantly torn apart.

This was only the second one. There was also the third Pangolin Beast demon. This Pangolin Beast demon was extremely cunning. It actually stomped on Lin Feng’s leg hard, crushing it instantly.

Pain. Unparalleled pain. There was almost no part of Lin Feng’s body that did not hurt, but he had to endure no matter how intense the pain was. Lin Feng endured it. He was not dead. However, the three Pangolin Beasts were still around. They would continue to attack.

Hence, the current Lin Feng had to flee. He must escape first and wait for his injuries to recover.

Whoosh.

Lin Feng endured the intense pain in his entire body and flew into the sky at once. He was still a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, and could fly into the sky. Once he flew into the sky, those Pangolin beasts that could not fly would be unable to do anything. They could only keep roaring on the ground.

“Chief Commander is fine now.”

“Fortunately. Fortunately, he’s fine.”

“We must hold out now. Then we can retreat orderly.”

Seeing that Lin Feng was fine, many martial artists heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Feng’s situation just now was really dangerous to the extreme. He missed death by a hair’s breadth.

Being crushed and charged by the three Pangolin Beasts continuously, Lin Feng would not be able to recover, no matter how strong his undying characteristic was.

This encounter was even more dangerous than in Dragonlith City.

Lin Feng flew into the air. His current appearance was also very dismal. He had lost an arm and shoulder, as well as a thigh. His sternum had collapsed, and he looked as harrowing as a person possibly could.

If an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist had suffered such heavy injuries, they would probably be long dead. Just the collapse of his sternum alone had severely injured Lin Feng’s heart, and even his heart had stopped beating. This was a fatal injury.

However, Lin Feng was not dead. He could even clearly observe his body now.

In fact, Lin Feng always only had a vague understanding of the undying characteristic. Even he himself did not know it very well. A heavy blow to the heart was a fatal wound. Why was he fine?

At this moment, he carefully sensed his body and realized that there was an exuberant vitality in his body. It seemed to be restoring all the injuries on his body. This vitality also came from the depths of his genes, as if it was instinctual.

“That’s right, vitality, or rather, life force! The fleshworm dire beasts possess extremely formidable life force, and I’ve also inherited the life force of the fleshworm dire beast, or even stronger! Just like Astral Power, as long as the Astral Power isn’t exhausted, martial artists would not die. And as long as my life force isn’t exhausted, I would not die either!”

Lin Feng vaguely understood the source of his undying characteristic. It stemmed from life force. In fact, if his undying characteristic continued to strengthen in the future, and his life force reached an extreme, would he be able to recover even with only a drop of blood left?

Lin Feng did not know. After all, he was far from attaining that level yet.

On the battlefield, the martial artists of the South Mountain Base were retreating in an orderly manner. As Lin Feng’s injuries gradually improved, Lin Feng could also “launch a sneak attack” from time to time. Although he did not kill any more Pangolin Beast demons, it helped those Metamorphic Realm martial artists at a disadvantage to turn the tide.

Although the martial artists were retreating, they were not at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

“Let’s go.”

Finally, Lin Feng covered the retreat with the 20 Metamorphic Realm martial artists for a period of time, before immediately flying up to the fortress tower. No matter how the Pangolin Beasts roared, it was in futility.

“We are safe for the time being.”

Many martial artists heaved a long sigh of relief. The battlefield just now was too intense. If not for Lin Feng’s outstanding performance, they would have been in danger.

However, they were only temporarily out of danger. If these Pangolin Beasts continued to attack, the South Mountain Base might not be able to hold out.

However, Lin Feng had his own plans. He planned to recover his Astral Power as soon as possible. When the time came, he would go down and charge and kill more of them. He did not believe that these Pangolin Beast demons could keep appearing infinitely.

If this repeated for a few times, how would these Pangolin Beasts still be able to continue laying siege on the South Mountain Base?

However, before Lin Feng could recover all his Astral Power, a deep roar suddenly sounded from underground. This roar sounded very majestic. The entire ground appeared to be shaking

Se

When all the Pangolin Beasts heard this sound, they immediately retreated like the tide, before eventually disappearing without a trace.

If not for the fact that so many Pangolin Beast corpses left outside the base, Lin Feng would even suspect that the battle just now was an illusion.
