Swish.

‘The saber flickered with a silvery-white light. Even on the bloody battlefield, it emanated a very distinctive sense of beauty.

This was truly a beautiful strike!

Li Wei’s mouth fell open. She wanted to say something, but lost her voice at this moment. All she could do was stare blankly at the blade of light. She was even immersed in it.

Perhaps Li Wei did not know what this meant. She found even the light from the saber beautiful, and was even immersed in it.

However, some senior martial artists knew its significance. The strike of the saber was perfect, whole, and out of this world. Even those inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock might not have such comprehension in martial arts.

“Outstanding…”

Some of the martial artists in the escort team sighed, but their sighs faintly revealed a trace of pity.

So what if it was an outstanding strike? Lin Feng was facing a dire beast king, known to be invincible at the professional stage!

“Slash!”

Suddenly, a tender and cold voice sounded in the void. Lin Feng slashed down with his saber. This was the strongest strike, a perfect strike, an incredible strike.

However, furthermore, this was a strike that could not be matched!

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng unleashed three Spiral Forces. A devastating force quickly erupted in his body.

The dire beast king opposite seemed to have also sensed Lin Feng’s sharp blade. With a low roar, more than 10 thick tentacles lashed out at Lin Feng.

‘The wind whistled. They carried a powerful force. Once they struck Lin Feng, no matter how strong his physique was, he might not be able to withstand it.

However, at this moment, Lin Feng was fearless. He even closed his eyes as the images of Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, Yu Shan, and Feng Xiu appeared in his mind.

‘These were good friends who had fought alongside Lin Feng in life-or-death situations.

For the public good, Lin Feng wanted to protect the three million civilians of Dragonlith City. Moreover, on a personal level, Lin Feng wanted to avenge his friends.

Swish.

Lin Feng’s saber seemed to be becoming faster. Only a dazzling white light was visible to the naked eye.

Swish.

With one slash, the tentacle was severed!

This strike was a slash of loyalty! Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci’s resolute expressions still seemed to linger before Lin Feng’s eyes. Yu Shan and Feng Xiu’s wistful gazes touched the depths of Lin Feng’s heart.

“Roar…”

Violent pain assailed the entire body of the fleshworm dire beast king. It simply hurt too much. Its dozen or so tentacles had somehow been severed by a single slash from a puny human martial artist. How was this possible?

The dire beast king roared furiously, and there were even many curses mixed in. For some reason, Lin Feng could understand it. He could understand the roar of the dire beast king, as if instinctively.

He could even understand the dire beast king ordering the dire beast lords not to interfere. It was going to personally devour him.

However, Lin Feng was still very calm. Nothing could stop him now.

“Second slash!”

Lin Feng slashed out once again. This slash was filled with fury, resentment, and hatred. This was a strike of revenge. It was revenge for Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, Yu Shan, and Feng Xiu, but also revenge for all those who had been tragically devoured by fleshworm dire beasts.

Thump.

Lin Feng’s strike of revenge slashed ruthlessly at the massive body of the dire beast king. Its originally pliable, cotton-like body could not withstand the devastating force of more than 80 tons.

Hence, Lin Feng’s blade sliced the dire beast king into two from the top down.

However, this was not the end. The regenerative ability of a dire beast king was astonishing. Never mind being cut into two, it wouldn’t die even if it was cut into pieces.

“Third slash!”

Lin Feng slashed out again. This slash was filled with duty, protection, and hope. This was a slash of protection. It was a strike meant to protect the three million citizens of Dragonlith City, and all humans in the world.

This strike was also the most powerful strike of all!

Lin Feng’s saber sped up once more. Even his strength, originally 80 tons in power, seemed to have increased by a great deal. This courage, strength, and determination transformed into Lin Feng’s strongest strike.

Bang.

This strike seemed to contain the power of an explosion. With a single slash, a radius of dozens of meters was filled with a terrifying blade aura. Wherever the blade aura passed, all the dire beasts were shredded.

‘The dire beast king was no exception. As Lin Feng’s strongest strike was delivered, the dire beast king’s recently recovered body exploded instantly like a balloon. Endless blade aura sliced rapidly, cutting the dire beast king’s body into ribbons.

The dire beasts around them all stopped. The martial artists who were fighting in the bloody war also seemed to be in disbelief. Li Wei, the cameraman, the escort team, and even the billions of people in front of the screen were stunned. There seemed to be an emotion, a power brewing in their hearts,

that was about to erupt.

“Good!”

‘There was no knowing who had shouted it, but the sentiment was echoed by many. They had thought that Lin Feng would be torn to pieces by the dire beast on the screen, but they had not expected Lin Feng to be so strong that he could actually kill a dire beast king.

That was an actual dire beast king!

Li Wei’s eyes lit up. She was very excited. At this moment, there was only one word on her mind—”hero”.

This was a true hero, a true protagonist. In such a despairing situation, what did people need the most? Without a doubt, it was a hero!

Moreover, he had not broken the genetic lock, nor was he an inhuman expert. He was only an ordinary martial artist, but an ordinary martial artist had erupted with incredible courage and strength in a desperate situation, and killed a ferocious dire beast king in one fell swoop.

If Lin Feng was not a hero, who was?

From this moment on, everyone remembered this figure, this strike of the saber, and this young martial artist.

“Quick, quick, get close to him. We must get close to him.”

Li Wei was very excited. Even if she had seen only too extraordinary scenes, she would still be excited and thrilled that a “miracle” could happen under such circumstances.

However, Lin Feng did not stop. He had merely killed one dire beast king, and there were still tens of thousands of dire beasts around him. Thus, he charged into the horde of dire beasts with his saber, like a tiger charging into a herd of sheep.

Those dire beasts were all dire beast lords. However, Lin Feng dealt with them with a slash of his saber each. Every time the light of his saber flashed, it spelled the deaths of dire beasts. This was practically a diabolical battlefield. Blood, broken flesh, and the wails and screams of dire beasts filled the air.

At this moment, Lin Feng was a god of war. He had even rallied the conviction of all the martial artists. All of them erupted with unprecedented courage and strength.

There was great terror in life-or-death situations, but there was greater potential in life-or-death situations!

‘There was no knowing how many martial artists saw Lin Feng charge into the horde of dire beasts alone with a saber in hand, with not a single dire beast posing a threat to Lin Feng.

This was a true hero!
