Saving War God Lu Gang
November 29th.
"Lin Yan, I will take you to the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall in Hongning Base City this time."
The middle-aged man in front of him was named Chen Hang. He was High-level War God in the Military and the leader of the Huashan Team Three. Lin Yan had dealt with him before. His son, Chen Ning, was very talented. At the age of 16, he was already an Intermediate Warrior. Jia Yi had a high opinion of him and took him as his youngest personal disciple.
"Then I'll have to trouble Team Leader Chen."
Chen Hang laughed heartily, "If you become the God of War, it will be the best thing for us. What trouble is there in this little thing?"
He knew that this person was not only a martial artist, but also a Mental Master.
When Jiang Long told him this, he thought the guy was lying to him, after all, Jiang Long's personality was a bit eccentric and not so serious.
But in the end, he found that the reactions of the councilors were quite normal, and there was no possibility that they were all teasing him. Only then did he realize that people are really different.
That's outrageous.
War gods are rare, Mental Master are rare, and those who possess both are even rarer. It can be said that Lin Yan is currently the strongest Mental Master in the Military.
Moreover, he is still very young and has great potential to be explored.
Without delay, they boarded the fighter jet and took off.
Chen Hang sat on the sofa inside the fighter jet and asked in confusion, "You said we need to pass through Jiangnan Base City, is there something going on?"
"When I went to Jiangnan last time, I met a very interesting person, so I figured I wouldn't have to go through much trouble, so I took the opportunity to go and see how he is doing now."
Lin Yan replied in this way.
Chen Hang was just asking casually; it wasn't a big deal. Of course, Lin Yan could decide for himself.
Lin Yan gazed at the landscape beneath the clouds through the 3D virtual view, his thoughts drifting far away.
Saying he was going to visit a friend was just an excuse. The real reason was that a level-three rat swarm would break out in the Wilderness Area thousands of miles around County No. 0231 today. Although such a rat swarm would not pose much of a threat to human Base City, it would be fatal to the martial artists who were in the Wilderness Area.
Even during this rat swarm, humanity lost a war god!
It has to be said that this is a huge loss!
As a prophet, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch this war god follow the same path as in the original story, getting trapped in the heart of the rat horde, surrounded by endless rats, and ultimately fighting to the death.
That's why I made this special trip.
Every war god is a precious asset to humanity, the cutting-edge force in the fight against monsters, and a hero to everyone.
Chen Hang suddenly stood up, his expression grave.
3D virtual viewing reveals the outside world.
Dark clouds gathered and a strong wind howled.
In the Wilderness Area, rats and beasts surged across the land like a tidal wave, a dark, overwhelming sight that chilled the heart and made one's soul fly away!
"A rat swarm!"
Lin Yan immediately said, "The fighter jets should descend, and we will immediately provide support to the martial artists in the Wilderness Area!"
"Good!"
Chen Hang immediately ordered the fighter jet to descend. The hatch opened, and Lin Yan, holding a shield, unleashed ten throwing knives that transformed into black streaks of light as he charged towards the rat horde. At the same time, Lin Yan also leaped out of the hatch, shield facing down, creating a huge sonic boom as he crashed to the ground, turning a large number of rat beasts into pulverized corpses!
This is a diversion of the rat swarm. Each rat beast is thirty centimeters long, and there are tens of thousands of rat beasts in this area alone. Even a warrior-level creature would be overwhelmed and killed if it encountered one.
Moreover, even if they could hold out, other tributaries of the rat swarm might soon surround them, so the dozen or so martial artists running ahead had no intention of fighting and could only flee for their lives.
Even so, over time, the speed became unsustainable, and the distance to the rat swarm grew ever closer.
"He's Military Mental Master!"
"We're saved!"
They breathed a sigh of relief.
In this context, Military personnel are extremely valuable and reliable.
Lin Yan was wearing standard Military combat uniform, making him easily identifiable.
"So young, so amazing!"
The ten black streaks of light were unstoppable and incredibly fast, reaping the lives of the rat beasts like the Grim Reaper's scythe amidst the horde of rats.
Lin Yan turned to look at them and pointed in a direction, saying, "You guys hurry back to the Supply Base. It's dangerous here. Head in this direction, and you won't encounter any other rat beasts for now."
"Okay, we understand!"
Lin Yan nodded. The tens of thousands of rat-beasts were quickly Strangulation by his hands. The ten throwing knives returned to his side, and his Mental Power wrapped around the shield before flying back into the fighter jet.
The 3D virtual viewing image was densely covered with red and green colors. Chen Hang said, "I have contacted Jiangnan. This is a level three rat swarm. It just broke out not long ago. We need to speed up. There are still many martial artists who have not escaped."
"No problem."
The majority of the level-three rat swarm consisted of Beast Soldier, with only a few beast generals. They posed little threat to him, unlike the war god Lu Gang who died in the original story. As Mental Master, he was not only extremely efficient at killing monsters, but he could also fly with the help of external objects. There was no way he could be surrounded by a group of rat beasts.
The fighter jets quickly arrived at the new location, and the two of them rushed to the aid of the surviving warriors.
At this time, Luo Feng was also in County No. 0231.
This time, he did not travel with the Fire Hammer Squad, but went alone to kill monsters in County No. 0231. He not only honed his swordsmanship and movement skills and gained experience in life-or-death battles, but also accumulated a lot of wealth.
Although most of them are Beast Soldier, the daily output of about 200 monsters still brings in more than one million, close to two million in revenue. And so far, he has persisted in County No. 0231 for more than fifty days.
Crazy!
Aside from occasionally going to the Supply Base, he spent most of his time in the Wilderness Area, not only hoping to become stronger quickly, but also to raise enough money as soon as possible to buy his younger brother Luo Hua a bottle of the Water of Life, so that he could live like a normal person instead of being confined to a wheelchair and feeling miserable.
His disability has always been a scar on his younger brother's heart, and it continues to pierce his soul.
At five o'clock that afternoon, he was already preparing to leave the Wilderness Area.
While driving on the highway, three panicked figures suddenly rushed towards us from a distance, sometimes running, sometimes leaping more than ten meters, at an extremely fast speed!
They looked disheveled, having discarded their War Blade and shields as they fled frantically.
"This is... Wan Dong?"
He recognized one of the three as Wan Dong, who had taken the practical assessment at the same time as him in Monster Town. Wan Dong had left a deep impression on Luo Feng, since he was the only one who could rival him in that assessment.
Behind them, a massive, dark swarm of rats swept across the sky!
"A rat swarm!"
Luo Feng was startled and also sped away along the highway!
"Huff, huff, huff..."
As Wan Dong and his group ran frantically, their stamina was rapidly depleting, their speed was gradually decreasing, and the rat horde behind them was constantly closing in!
"Why haven't the troops arrived yet!"
"If we don't come soon, we're really doomed!"
Apart from Luo Feng, the three of them had already run three hundred miles, and their physical strength was almost at its limit.
Luo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's a fighter jet!"
A white-painted fighter jet slid down from the sky, but its design was quite different from the Military fighter jets he had seen before. Military fighter jets were all flat and round, saucer-shaped, and not very big.
However, the fighter jet in front of us is triangular with a beautiful streamline, and looks very high-end.
Wan Dong and the other two let out excited howls. Finally, someone has arrived!
They really can't hold on much longer!
They didn't care who the people were or what kind of fighter jet it was. Since the fighter jet's trajectory was clearly heading in this direction, it must be coming to rescue them!
A surge of energy spontaneously regenerated within him, causing him to accelerate once more!
The fighter jet's cabin door opened during flight.
Lin Yan swooped down again, his throwing knife tearing through the air as he charged towards the swarm of rats.
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at the person who was so majestic in the rat swarm, his face full of surprise. He didn't expect that they would meet again after three months.
Moreover, their strength appears even more terrifying!
Lin Yan didn't spend much effort clearing out the monsters, and then looked at them.
He had obviously noticed Luo Feng was there long ago, and laughed, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Luo Feng smiled wryly, "You saved us once when we last met, and you saved me again this time."
How miserable my life is!
Lin Yan laughed and said, "Why are you pretending with me? You didn't need me to save you last time, and you don't need me to save you this time either. It's just a coincidence that I ran into you."
"You all should hurry back to the Supply Base and come out again after the alert is lifted. I have other things to do, so I won't chat with you any longer."
Lin Yan returned directly to the fighter jet; this time, their target was the core of the beast tide.
The reason he rescued these warriors first was because they had no ability to resist the rat swarm; if they were caught, they would surely die.
Although War God Lu Gang was already surrounded by the rat horde, with his strength, he could hold out for a long time under the rat horde, and by then, they would be able to arrive in time.
Chen Hang, "We've saved all the martial artists on the periphery that we could. Now it's time to deal with them."
Under his gaze, the densely packed rats and beasts, like a swarm of ants, enveloped the high-rise buildings and covered every corner of the area.
Boom!
A tall building collapsed with a crash!
Countless rats and beasts died beneath the collapsed building.
A tall man's figure appeared, holding War Blade, trying to rush out, but the rat swarm surged up again, determined to save his life at all costs.
Boundless and endless, they cannot be killed or wiped out!
Damn it!
As Lu Gang brandished his War Blade, the foul-smelling blood of the rat-beast gushed forth, and he couldn't help but feel agitated.
He initially blocked the advance of the beast tide to cover the retreat of others, but he angered the leader of the rat tide, who was relentless towards him. Even though he had killed so many rat beasts, those ugly monsters showed no signs of giving up!
The sheer number of hundreds of millions of rat-like creatures, like an ocean, left him feeling somewhat powerless.
Call!
Shells were ejected from the fuselage of the fighter jets, turning into huge burning fireballs in the air!
Even a tiny splash of this fire onto a rat-beast would quickly ignite and burn it to ashes.
The flame will only extinguish once the special elements within it have completely decomposed.
The ammunition loaded in the King-level fighter jets is naturally extraordinary, which is why the fighter jets were not used to attack those scattered beast hordes before – it would be too wasteful.
The fighter jet reached the position above Lu Gang's head, the cockpit opened, and Lin Yan jumped out and quickly approached Lu Gang.
The ten throwing knives and his arrival greatly reduced the pressure on Lu Gang.
Lu Gang breathed a sigh of relief. He had prepared for the worst, but thankfully it wasn't too tragic, and he was rescued in time.
They didn't linger in the fight. After clearing the area, Lin Yan pulled him up and they returned to the fighter jet.
They had already made contact with the Northern Military Region in Jiangnan, and their fighter jets should be arriving soon. This rat swarm, though individually weak, is numerous, and the efficiency of eliminating it by human warriors is far lower than that of technological weapons.
Soon, fighter jets rushed to the battlefield, and with the assistance of their King-level fighters, further suppressed the rat swarm.
Inside the cabin.
Chen Hang handed a bottle of water to Lu Gang and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Gang readily downed the water in one gulp before saying, "Haha, we people don't have any other skills besides killing monsters, so we can't let our legs go weak at a time like this."
"My name is Lu Gang, and who are you?"
He had been in Jiangnan Base City for so many years and had seen all War God level figures, but he had never seen these two people before.
Piloting the King-level Intelligent Fighter, the Military's latest model "Ying Long," is a privilege not afforded to ordinary war gods.
Moreover, although the young man who saved him earlier was weak and the rat beast couldn't fully discern his strength, his Mental Power was definitely at the War God level; he still had that much insight.
"I am Chen Hang, the leader of the Huashan Team Three, and he is Lin Yan. We are both from Tianjing. We just happened to be passing by and saw the rat swarm breaking out here from the air, so we went to support the martial artists in the Wilderness Area."
Lu Gang laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that I, Old Lu, am still lucky!"
When their ammunition was exhausted, the rat swarm had mostly subsided, and they flew directly to the military airfield.
The "Ying Long" fighter jet landed at the military region's airfield, where airfield staff replenished the consumed energy and ammunition.
The three of them then arrived at the Supply Base Supply Base, which was an area within the military region specifically designated for martial artists.
Chen Hang was also a veteran among the God of War. Although he did not know Lu Gang, he had quite a few acquaintances in Jiangnan. He happened to learn that they had a mutual friend at the Supply Base, so he took the opportunity to catch up with him.
Lin Yan did not follow them.
Dark clouds rolled across the horizon, a fierce wind swept across the land, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. A thunderclap followed, and then a downpour began.
Lin Yan saw Luo Feng sitting on the veranda of a townhouse in the Supply Base and was about to walk over.
"Boom!"
One bolt of lightning after another struck down, as if the Thunder God was enraged. Sometimes two bolts of lightning intertwined in the sky like snakes and merged into one lightning bolt, containing boundless divine power!
In Lin Yan's view, Luo Feng began practicing his sword in the torrential rain!
The Blood Shadow Battle Saber swung down again and again!
Whether it's a vertical slash, a chop, an upward flick, or a horizontal cut, it's as if a streak of light has flashed by.
Lin Yan stopped and gazed into the distance. The glint of the blade was reflected in his pupils, and his consciousness gradually became immersed in it.
In my mind, the Mind Palace unfolds anew.
Lin Yan held the Que Xie Sword and calmly swung it without any fanfare.
"Wrong."
He fell into deep thought.
He didn't continue any action, but instead kept searching for that glimmer of inspiration he had grasped.
Although it was only a moment in the outside world, a long time had passed in the Mind Palace.
He unleashed the Thunderclap Sword, his muscles radiating five layers of hidden power, the sword strike as swift as thunder.
He wielded the Radiant Light Sword, its light flickering and dazzling.
He unleashed the Thunderclap Sword, the longsword piercing the air at incredible speed, creating a sharp sonic boom like the cry of birds and beasts.
He unleashed a power that All Things Severed, his body and sword becoming one. A force emanated from his waist and hips, flowing through his bones and muscles and surging onto his weapon, heavy and fierce.
When the Po Jun Sword is unleashed, the subtle muscles of the body ripple like the surface of water, and the sword vibrates rapidly as it is swung, even causing slight shockwaves in the surrounding air.
He stopped wielding his sword.
After a long period of calm.
Another sword light pierced out, pure and immaculate, naturally and effortlessly.
Open the system panel.
All the sword skills mentioned above have disappeared, the sword characteristics have been erased, and even the S-level passive skill [Sword Mastery] is gone.
"Should we go a little further ahead?"
Lin Yan murmured.
The next day, around 2 PM.
Luo Feng packed his things and walked out of the townhouse, feeling very happy.
In the nearly 20 hours he spent practicing swordsmanship yesterday and today, he not only mastered the second level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, but also touched the edge of the swordsmanship's Conception, creating a swordsmanship technique in its initial form called "Thunderbolt"!
Combat capabilities have been greatly enhanced.
He had been in County No. 0231 for more than fifty days. The Fire Hammer Squad was about to regroup, and they had been in contact. Their last hunt of Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was very successful, and they had purchased gene serums to improve their abilities. It was a far cry from what they had been before.
Luo Feng was looking forward to his trip to City No. 003.
So now we're preparing to leave the Supply Base and head to Jiangnan Base City.
But when he stepped outside, a Military major was waiting for him outside his villa.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Luo Feng?"
Luo Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you need me for?"
"I have been entrusted to deliver this item to you."
The officer handed him a small black box.
Luo Feng took it, but didn't open it. Instead, he asked, "Can you tell me who it is?"
"He's a colleague I met in a competition this year, but his organization is in Tianjing. His name is Lin Yan. He told me you are his friend and that the scene of you practicing your sword yesterday gave him a lot of inspiration, so he gave this to you."
Luo Feng let out a soft "Huh?": "Lin Yan?"
He opened the black box in his hand with some curiosity, inside which were stacked ten black throwing knives.
"This is..."
"They're all Series 9 throwing knives!"
