Saving War God Lu Gang

That day, just as Xu Feng had returned from outside, the communicator on his wrist suddenly rang.

"Is this Mr. Xu Feng? My apologies for the unexpected contact. I'm Jia Yi from the military."

"Mr. Jia Yi? Hello, pleased to meet you. What can I do for you?"

After seeing that it was a military number, Xu Feng asked.

"Mr. Xu Feng, a rat tide has broken out in Wilderness Zone No. 174. The people I arranged will need at least two hours to arrive. Base City No. 174 isn't far from where you are, and I hope you can take action!"

"Of course, we won't ask for your help without compensation. Afterward, the country will provide corresponding rewards based on your contribution,"

"and grant you a certain military rank as well. Mr. Xu Feng, please don't misunderstand. This doesn't mean we want you to join the military. It merely grants you certain authority, with absolutely no restrictions."

Jia Yi's voice came through, filled with anxiety.

"A rat tide? What level?"

Xu Feng sounded somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"It started as a Level Three tide, but its scale has been growing. It has now reached Level Two, and before long, it may very well reach the scale of a Level One rat tide!"

Jia Yi said.

"I see. Send me the coordinates. I'll make the trip myself!"

After thinking it over, Xu Feng immediately replied.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xu Feng!"

Jia Yi promptly sent the coordinates to Xu Feng. Without hesitation, Xu Feng turned into a streak of Flowing Light and sped toward Wilderness Zone No. 174.

"Hiss..."

Xu Feng's speed was terrifying now. In less than five minutes, he arrived at Wilderness Zone No. 174. When he saw the situation below, even his scalp went numb.

Rat-type monsters! This was a rat tide.

Rat-type monsters possessed incredibly powerful reproductive abilities. With their enormous numbers, even Beast General level and Lord-level rat monsters could emerge.

Once a rat tide formed, every living thing in its path would be devoured. If surrounded by an endless rat tide, even a War God would certainly die.

These monsters were not particularly strong. Most were merely ordinary Beast Soldier level, and many had not even reached the level of ordinary Beast Soldiers. But their numbers were simply too terrifying. At a glance, there were no fewer than several million rats crazily flooding in every direction.

Within the rat tide, Xu Feng also spotted quite a few warriors from the Wilderness Zone fighting desperately. Among them were more than a few General-level warriors.

Their strength was not weak, but this was a perfect demonstration of how ants could kill an elephant. There were simply too many rats to kill them all.

If this continued, aside from Psychic Masters, probably no one would survive.

This rat tide stretched for thousands of kilometers. Warriors from the war zone and fighter jets had all been mobilized. Under the fighter jets' laser cannons, Beast Soldier-level rat monsters were effortlessly reduced to ashes like weeds.

But many flying monsters had gathered in the sky as well. Sometimes they swooped down to catch rat monsters from the tide; other times, they attacked the human fighter jets. Several jets had already been shot down by flying monsters.

Besides Beast Soldiers, the rat tide also contained Beast Generals and Lord-level Monsters. Several human War Gods were trapped in the center of the rat tide, held down by Lord-level Monsters.

War Gods possessed extremely powerful strength. Going all out, a single strike could cleave apart a building. Yet against a siege involving millions or tens of millions of rats, even they struggled to cope.

If the rat tide struck a Base City, it would become a catastrophic disaster. Warriors below God level were desperately fleeing back to the Base City, while those above God level were searching for terrain that might stop the rat tide.

Lu Gang was one of them. He was an Intermediate War God. When he discovered traces of the rat tide in the Wilderness Zone, his first reaction had been to delay it and give those in the rear enough time to respond.

A War God's strike was earth-shattering. By himself, he held back all the rat monsters of an entire county-level city. But this also drew the attention of Lord-level rat monsters, and the endless rat monsters around him all converged there.

Rat monsters covered building after building, all in pursuit of Lu Gang.

When Xu Feng arrived, he saw War God Lu Gang, like a demon god, fighting the rat tide in a frenzy.

War God Lu Gang was one of Jiangnan Base City's renowned heroes. He had made immense contributions in many monster sieges, and in Jiangnan Base City, few warriors did not know Lu Gang.

His death had also been one of Xu Feng's small regrets. If possible, he wanted to save Lu Gang.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Xu Feng snorted coldly. The Shield Sky Shuttle separated into sixteen blades and instantly erupted. They formed a circular blade array around Xu Feng, and a terrifying force of destruction spread out from him in every direction.

It instantly covered an area several hundred meters wide. In that instant, a scene that horrified everyone appeared. The sixteen blades struck the nearby rat monsters, and in the blink of an eye, every rat was torn alive into chunks of flesh.

Yet the warriors within the rat tide were not affected in the slightest. The level of control this required was simply terrifying.

"This..."

"Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"

"They're dead! They're all dead!"

The warriors below, who had been in despair moments ago, were all completely stunned by the sight, their faces filled with shock.

They had thought they were truly finished this time, yet such a terrifying reversal had occurred.

"Who did this? Isn't that strength a little too heaven-defying?"

"Even a War God probably doesn't possess such terrifying strength!"

"A Councilor! A Councilor-level expert must have acted, and not an ordinary Councilor at that!"

Many people began speculating.

As for Xu Feng, he immediately flew once more toward the core of the rat tide.

Everywhere he passed, the rat tide was naturally wiped out completely.

Boom boom boom boom...

Before long, Xu Feng arrived above Lu Gang.

At that moment, Lu Gang was rampaging madly amid the rat tide.

Every slash took the lives of hundreds or even thousands of rats. Around him, the rat corpses had piled up nearly as high as dozens of stories.

Yet the surrounding rats continued to gather around him without end. If this went on, no matter how strong he was, he would eventually die of exhaustion.

"Damn it, you bastards! Am I really going to die here today? I can't accept this!"

"You damned beasts! Even if I die, I won't make it easy for you! Die! Tornado Destroy Parking Lot!"

The figure below roared, and the bloody longsword in his hand swept out wildly again, becoming a terrifying storm that claimed the lives of more than a thousand rats.

But the rats around him showed no sign of decreasing. Instead, as time passed, their numbers only continued to grow.

Buzz!

Just as he felt that the Gene Force within his body was nearly exhausted, a terrifying aura suddenly filled the air. At that moment, he felt his very soul begin to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is..."

His expression changed drastically. He immediately looked up into the sky and saw a black-clad figure standing in midair. That terrifying aura was emanating from him.

"A Psychic Master? I'm saved!"

A flash of delight appeared in his eyes at the sight.

Psychic Masters were known as the kings of area attacks. Killing monsters of the same level was as easy as mowing grass.

The next moment, the figure in the sky waved a hand. What happened next left him completely dumbfounded.

Sixteen blades flew at astonishing speed, spreading in every direction. Everywhere the blades passed, every monster was sliced into minced flesh. Blood dyed the earth bright red, and thick layers of mangled meat covered the ground.

"This, this..."

"How is this possible!? This strength..."

The figure below was completely stunned. He had guessed that the other man was powerful, but he had never expected him to be this terrifyingly strong. Such methods were far beyond anything he had imagined.

"My name is Lu Gang. Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

After recovering from his shock, he immediately called out to the figure in the sky.

"You're too polite, Mr. Lu. It's my honor to be able to help you. You've exhausted your strength, haven't you? Go rest in the fighter jet first!"

In the original story, Lu Gang had died in the rat tide. But Xu Feng's appearance had clearly changed his fate.

To Xu Feng, however, this was merely a minor interruption. He immediately flew into the distance to continue clearing the rat tide.

Half an hour later, Xu Feng returned to Mingyue Community. In only half an hour, he had forcibly resolved a disaster that had come infinitely close to becoming a Level One rat tide.

After the rat tide ended, Jiangnan Base City held a celebration. Lu Gang, who had defended a city alone and killed three Lord-level Monsters, attended as well, and Xu Feng was also invited to the banquet.

After saving War God Lu Gang's life, Xu Feng, a God-level warrior, appeared in the upper ranks' field of view for the first time.

War God Zhu Xi looked at the eighteen-year-old yet exceptionally steady Xu Feng with deep admiration.

Lu Gang, meanwhile, enthusiastically wanted to invite Xu Feng to visit his home.

He had two sons and one daughter. His eldest son and youngest daughter were both Generals, while only his second son had failed to live up to expectations and was merely a warrior.

Lu Gang's daughter was about the same age as Xu Feng, so he intended to introduce them to each other.

It had to be said that the genes of the strong were simply superior. Xu Feng had trained desperately to be called a genius, while the children of War Gods could naturally possess the same level of strength due to their genes alone.

Xu Feng thanked Lu Gang for his kindness and left early after the banquet. He still had another urgent matter to handle.

"Mr. Xu Feng, thank you for taking action this time!"

Not long after Xu Feng returned, Jia Yi contacted him again. He had clearly already received the news.

"It was nothing more than a small effort."

Xu Feng shook his head.

"Fortunately, Mr. Xu Feng stepped in. Otherwise, this rat tide would likely have cost us many more warriors!"

Jia Yi said again.

"The spoils from this battle have already been counted. The monsters you killed have been loaded up for transport. You may choose to exchange them for cash or Contribution Points. In addition, the country has prepared a monetary reward for you. I hope you won't stand on ceremony, Mr. Xu Feng."

"Councilor Jia Yi is too kind. Protecting the people is the responsibility of warriors to begin with. If you need help in the future, please notify me. As long as I'm not occupied, I'll definitely lend a hand! Use half of those funds to support the families of the fallen soldiers. They are the true warriors of this battle!"

Upon hearing Xu Feng's words, Jia Yi could naturally see the sincerity in Xu Feng despite his age. While sighing inwardly that he had grown old, he also felt comforted. China has worthy successors...
