Chapter 113: Drawing the Sword
Translator: Ash Editor: Geoffrey
Seventh time… Eighth time...
One after another, dozens of balls of lightning exploded in the sky and weaved a giant net of
lightning which was comparable to natural lightning, tightly enclosing the demon clan giant
formed from the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes within.
Letting out a furious roar that shook the sky and the earth, with a casual wave of its hand, it
tore apart the electric net in a short period of time.
For a long time, there was only complete silence amidst the beast tide; no ball of lightning
exploded again, seemingly as if the seven cultivators had already fallen.
Suddenly—
A shining human silhouette flew over a hundred meter into the sky and proudly stood on top of
the demon clan giant's head.
Wings that were about 20-30 meters spread out. These wings that were purely composed of
intertwining light and flames constantly surged out from a tattoo on the back of the human
silhouette.
It was the red-eyed officer!
The red-eyed officer's whole body was completely naked; from top to bottom, there was not a
single piece of clothing on him; all the scars on his body were completely revealed. Forcibly
carrying the few thousand pound Taiyi Lightning Railgun on his shoulder, he was like a god
who bravely stood between the heaven and the earth with a body that was basking in the
dazzling blue brilliance from the ball of lightning!
"Bastards, take a look!—This is what a 'cultivator' is!"
The red-eyed officer madly laughed. The streaks of lightning coiling around him turned
brighter and brighter and became more and more turbulent before finally turning into a sunlike
ball of blue aura as his entire body completely melted and violently blasted open!
This final explosion was fiercer than anything before, reducing the entire head of the demon
clan giant along with its shoulders to ashes.
Only after a minute was the beast tide able to once again quickly gather to draw a human form;
its vivid facial features revealed a sliver of fear and confusion.
Perhaps it could simulate a human-like form and could even simulate the wisdom akin to
humans.
However, never would it be able to understand why these humans would charge forth to die
without even showing a single trace of fear.
It possessed a terrifying computational power, and according to its estimations, these people
were all the strongest humans on board the crystal train. As long as they let it feast upon the
ordinary people, they would have a 90% chance to escape.
"Humans..."
The demon clan giant shook its head as it clumsily chased after the train.
Its claws were barely able to graze the coach at the end of the train, tearing off an iron sheet.
The passengers on board the train could even hear vague "buzz buzz" noises, as if a large group
of mosquitoes was buzzing by their ears.
"Brother, go to Coach No.14!" the bearded fellow, "Company Commander Stone", said to Li Yao.
Li Yao had a terrible headache, and his pair eyes were in a daze. He subconsciously replied,
"They—"
As Company Commander Stone swept a glance around, every soldier of the federation army
who still had the strength to stand gathered by his side.
They were like a group of statues carved from stone who didn’t reveal a single trace of emotion
on their visages and the emotion in their eyes had come to a halt. A short while following the
reassurance of the veterans, even the young soldiers who were horrified and restless just a
moment ago became bustling with bravery as their entire bodies became engulfed in a dense,
bloody aura.
"We are regular soldiers, and you are a disabled veteran. We will form the second defense line,
while you will form the third defense line!" Company Commander Stone said.
For a moment, Li Yao was surprised. Clenching his teeth, he nodded his head, and without a
single word, walked towards Coach No.14.
His entire body was hot, and his brain felt as if it was burning with some kind of utterly
mysterious power, one which was frantically bombarding his "Pineal Gland".
At this moment, he was intensely eager to become stronger—intensely eager to become a true
cultivator!
In Coach No.14, all the wounded soldiers had been transferred to this location. The lightly
wounded soldiers quietly wiped their firearms and checked their ammunition as they formed
the third defense line.
The heavily wounded soldiers lying on the ground were clenching their teeth, trying their best
not to groan.
They truly could not endure. At this moment, they began to hum the song of the federation
army in an impassioned tone.
"Give me a gun," Li Yao said to a lightly wounded soldier.
The other party took a glance at him in surprise. Then, his lips pursed into a smile as he threw a
Thunderfire Boltgun to him.
"Kacha Kacha!"
Li Yao strenuously started loading the boltgun, as if the burning spirit in his brain was going to
be fired from the barrel instead of the bullets.
In Coach No.15, Company Commander Stone raised the Thunderfire Boltgun, and pressing the
self-destruction spirit glyph on the gun, he loudly shouted, "Soldiers, destroy your guns
completely!"
"Snap! Snap!"
Dozens of Thunderfire Boltgun heavily fell on the ground before they split into pieces, turning
into pieces of scrap.
"Draw your Chainswords!"
Dozens of Chainswords glistening in cold luster that were firmly held by dozens of bloodseething
federation soldiers were raised into the sky as they interleaved into a steel jungle,
from which an aura of slaughter emanated.
In accordance with the army regulations, when heavily surrounded by the enemy, where the
enemy was stronger than you, and in the case when you had no routes of escape, the federation
soldiers should first destroy their firearms, and then use their Chainswords as they engage in
close combat with the enemy!
"Bighead Sun, when I count to three, activate the detaching array glyphs and detach Coach
No.15 from the crystal train. We are going to slaughter these filthy swines together! Do you
understand!?" Company Commander Stone shouted in a loud voice.
A young soldier with a rather large head smilingly agreed as he rolled up his sleeves in
preparation for battle and said, "No problem! This father has been a train soldier for two years,
yet I still haven’t had the opportunity to touch a single hair on a demon beast. Today, I can
finally have some fun!"
Dozens of soldiers burst into laughter together: "Alright! Today, let's touch the hair on these
bastards!"
"One!"
Company Commander Stone, with wide-opened eyes, roared.
"Come on, bastards! Try this father's Chainsword!" the soldiers roared together.
"Two!"
Company Commander Sun looked at Bighead Sun.
Bighead Sun, gritting his teeth, came before the detaching array glyphs and clenched his fists to
the point that his fingernails had drawn blood.
"Just wait and watch, you filthy swines! Our cultivators will soon arrive and send you all to the
netherworld where this father will be waiting for you. Just wait and watch, you will die again
and again a hundred times..." The soldiers unscrupulously started laughing frantically.
"Three—"
Company Commander Stone shouted at the top of his lungs, yet he was unable to hear his own
voice.
The same was true for Bighead Sun as well as for every other soldier. They all raised their heads
in utter surprise.
A few kilometers above their head, an object moving at high-speeds zipped its way here and
broke the sound barrier, creating a deafening, loud sonic boom
Li Yao clung to the window with wide-opened eyes, which had become so big that they were
even bigger than the eyes of a bull, and looked at the dazzling ball of light that flew over from
far away as it broke the sound barrier, subsequently creating a large mass of white mist that
undulated behind him, creating round after round of huge ripples.
The ball of light directly arrived before the demon clan giant and came to a halt, revealing its
true figure.
It was a cultivator who was wearing white crystal armor!
"It's the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator!" several soldiers cried out in excitement.
The Mountain Sea Sect was a third-tier sect with mediocre strength in the Demon Beast
Wasteland; its overall strength was not even in the top hundred of the federation, and it did not
even have a single Core Formation Stage cultivator.
This cultivator was at most in the Building Foundation Stage. Even if he had the support of the
crystal armor, it was absolutely impossible for him to unleash a battle force that could
transcend a Core Formation Stage cultivator's.
And what he was facing was an overwhelming beast tide, one which had also produced a demon
clan with wisdom. Even for a Core Formation Stage cultivator, facing such a powerful existence
would cause a feeling of trepidation!
Before the tsunami-like beast tide, the silhouette of the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator
appeared to be especially insignificant.
He was like a firefly flying towards the night sky who, in the blink of an eye, would be engulfed
by darkness.
This tiny "firefly" did not even hesitate for half a second and drew a long metal stick from his
back. As he shook it lightly, from the both ends of the long stick poured out radiating flames
that spanned a dozen meters, congealing into two mighty Anti-Ship Swords of Flames.
An Anti-Ship Sword was a terrifying magical equipment that could even cut a crystal battleship
in two.
The brilliance wreathing around the "firefly", in the blink of an eye, escalated by ten times,
giving the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator the appearance of a dozen meter tall giant.
The Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator brandishing the Anti-Ship Swords of Flames, without any
care for life, charged into the beast tide!
"Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!"
Like a red-hot knife fiercely cutting through tofu, the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator directly
chopped off the demon clan giant's arm and then opened a transparent hole from its front to
the back of its stomach.
The demon clan giant itself was made up of hundreds of millions of Ghost Face Silver
Mosquitoes. Even if one were to kill some Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes, it would simply not
cause any damage to it.
The demon clan giant flew into a rage out of humiliation. It simply no longer took the form of a
human and instead transformed into a few kilometer long giant python that opened its huge
mouth and swallowed the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator.
"Boom!"
The giant python's head exploded as seven to eight streaks of light erupted from within. Its
entire head, in the blink of an eye, collapsed as the flames wreathing around the Mountain Sea
Sect's cultivator flared like that of a ball of heavenly flames illuminating the entire land.
From inside the ruptured giant python's "neck" came a "Buzzing" noise as countless Ghost Face
Silver Mosquitoes charged out from its body and once again formed a head, which then
swallowed the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator for the second time.
The Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator went all out and ignited flames madly, crushing the giant
python's head once again.
A third time… A fourth time...
The flames from the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator grew weaker and weaker by the attack, and
his movement also became slower and slower. The awe-inspiring white crystal armor was
stained with demonic blood of countless Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes, which constantly
corroded the crystal armor as bubbles filled with gray demonic energy emerged one by one on
the armor.
Finally—
When the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator had ruptured the giant python's head for the sixth
time, the flames of his Anti-Ship Swords had been completely extinguished.
His body was densely laden with marks of having been stung by the Ghost Face Silver
Mosquitoes.
The Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator was hanging by a thread; he was shaky and unsteady. The
brilliance around his body was dim like a candle in the wind that would be extinguished at any
moment.
Yet, he refused to give up. He still tried to block the beast tide from approaching the crystal
train. Again and again, he tried igniting the spirit fire, tried to release the Anti-Ship Swords of
Flames, yet he failed again and again.
The Ghost Fire Silver Mosquitoes squirmed, and for the seventh time, gathered to create a giant
python that could swallow the heaven and the earth. Raising its neck, its head fiercely charged
towards the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator like a javelin that had been thrown.
The Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator gave up on the Anti-Ship Swords of flames and furiously
brandished his fists.
Inside the crystal train, Li Yao clenched his fists together with him.
He clenched so tightly that the bones were about to burst out from beneath his skin!
"Boom!"
Just as the giant python was about to swallow the Mountain Sea Sect's cultivator, from in
between the clouds suddenly came a thunderous boom that was akin to the eruption of a
volcano!
Almost at the same moment, the head of the giant python turned crimson and vehemently
burst open, transforming into countless masses of hot lava that splashed in all directions and
quickly spread.
The lava seemed to possess spiritual fire that had life; no matter how the Ghost Face Silver
Mosquitoes fled, it continued jumping, splattering, and spreading and soon weaved a giant net
of fire. The giant python was tightly ensnared inside the inexhaustible flames.
"True Samadhi Fire! It's the True Samadhi Fire!" Li Yao was extremely excited, and together
with all the soldiers, roared like a wild animal.
Finally, reinforcements had arrived.
