After cleaving off the Rat King's head with a single slash, the surrounding rat horde was already about to pounce on Yang Yu.
But Yang Yu did not panic at all. He swung his chipped war blade once more.
This time, it was the Shadowless Blade!
A Defensive Blade Technique evolved from the Crossing Fist, which excelled most at defense.
It was perfectly suited for the current battle.
Countless Mutated Rats lunged at him from all directions, seemingly ready to drown Yang Yu in an instant.
But while these rats charged quickly, they died even faster!
Countless rats leaped through the air, only to be sliced in half and sent flying from the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the rats behind them continued charging forward fearlessly.
The reason these Mutated Rats were so ferocious
was because the Rat King had issued one final command to the rat horde before dying.
Attack to the death!
Attack at all costs!
This was the highest order. As descendants bred by the Rat King, they naturally obeyed it without exception.
But the strongest of the remaining Mutated Rats were only Advanced Beast Soldier Level. Yang Yu killed them with ease.
The Shadowless Blade worked in tandem with the Steel Shield.
With his Spiritual Force constantly covering the surrounding area, Yang Yu was naturally able to defend with ease.
At this moment, the Conghu Army had also brought reinforcements.
However, upon seeing the scene before them, the Soldiers who had come to assist all lowered their weapons and stared in shock as Yang Yu put on a performance.
"Who is that? He's way too fierce!"
A young soldier, still not very old, stared blankly at the Mutated Rats continuously being flung into the air ahead of him.
"His name is Yang Yu! I only met him today. He had originally planned to voluntarily head to the Eastern War Zone to help defend it, but I was afraid he was too young and inexperienced. So I wanted to take him on patrol and give him some experience dealing with Monsters. Who would have thought he was actually this powerful!"
Even the Conghu Army was stunned at this moment.
That seemingly endless black Rat Tide, beneath Yang Yu's extreme blade flashes, saw the rats sliced in half by his rapidly moving figure before they even had time to leap at him!
Occasionally, Yang Yu deliberately let one or two Advanced Beast Soldier Level rats into his defensive perimeter, but what greeted them was a savage smash from the steel shield!
The Shield Technique, also derived from the Crossing Fist, was used with perfect ease in defense.
Just like that.
Like a humanoid iron wall, Yang Yu pushed forward through the endless Rat Tide before him!
Watching this shocking scene, the Soldiers had long since been won over.
"A true War God!"
At the same time, the Captain in charge of support hurriedly called for the Satellite Camera to focus on this area, broadcasting the astounding scene of Yang Yu slaughtering the rat horde live!
After receiving the chief's approval, a high-definition satellite camera and several Drone Cameras focused on Yang Yu.
The footage was simultaneously connected in real time to the Jiangnan City Television Broadcast Station.
At this moment, Grandpa Yang and Wang Lin, who were nervously watching the live broadcast at home, suddenly saw the television screen shake.
When the image cleared, it showed Yang Yu slaughtering the rat horde!
"Wow, it's Brother Yu!"
Wang Lin recognized Yang Yu the instant he saw him.
"It's Xiao Yu!"
Grandpa Yang recognized him as well.
"It's actually him!"
When class beauty Su Yu saw the figure on the screen, she cried out in shock. "I never expected him to have changed so much after leaving school!"
"It's him!" The little thugs Yang Yu had once taught a lesson also recognized him.
So the person who had once beaten them up was actually such a strong expert!
"We're saved, we're saved!" Those civilians who did not know Yang Yu burst into tears of joy when they saw the live broadcast on television.
The situation reported on television over the past few days had been truly grim. The seemingly boundless Beast Tide looked as though it could break through the defenses at any moment, rush into the city, and carry out a massacre.
Yet the boy before them could effortlessly slaughter the terrifying rat horde.
One rat after another pounced forward.
One rat after another was sent flying by the war blade.
At this moment, Yang Yu still did not know that every one of his movements was being captured by the live Satellite Camera.
Right now, he was enjoying the battle!
It had been a year since he had transmigrated.
During that year, Yang Yu had not dared relax in the slightest.
He feared that when the Grand Nirvana arrived, he would not possess enough strength for self-protection and could only drift with the tide, waiting for fate's Judgment Mystery.
But now.
He, Yang Yu, could already control his own destiny!
And he could even protect the tribe members behind him!
His blade grew faster and faster!
His shield also became increasingly free and natural.
At this moment, Yang Yu had completely immersed himself in slaughter.
Without realizing it, Yang Yu's Blade Technique, Shield Technique, and Movement Technique were all improving at extreme speed.
While these Mutated Rats were individually rather weak, there were simply too many of them.
Half a year of blade practice before this
was not as good as half an hour of slaughter now!
Sure enough, only actual combat could reveal the shortcomings in one's Martial Way.
During these half an hour.
Yang Yu swung more than a hundred blades every second.
Every slash contained all of his Martial Way Insight!
Yet they did not contain his full power. Against Mutated Rats that had not even reached Beast General Level, using only ten or twenty percent of his strength was enough.
Even so, he could not lower his guard. There were simply too many Mutated Rats!
In this high-intensity battle.
Yang Yu did not feel tired at all!
Because he was a Neijiaquan master.
The flow of every trace of strength was under his control. Yang Yu could completely control some muscles to exert force while allowing others to rest.
Under such precise control of strength.
Yang Yu could slaughter for an entire day and night without growing tired!
An hour passed.
Yang Yu was still slaughtering the rat horde.
Two hours passed.
Yang Yu was still slaughtering the rat horde!
By the end, even those watching the broadcast had grown tired, but Yang Yu was still fighting!
He was still fighting!
At this moment.
All the civilians of Jiangnan City rose to their feet.
They had personally witnessed a boy fighting for them!
"Xiao Yu..."
Grandpa Yang's eyes were already misty.
But when he thought of Yang Yu fighting to protect him, to protect this city, his heart filled with pride.
Finally.
Five hours passed.
Yang Yu had fought from morning until afternoon.
The Alloy Steel Blade in his hand had been chopped down until only its spine remained!
Later, when Yang Yu was fully caught up in the slaughter, he simply threw away the severely damaged steel blade.
Then he attacked with his fists!
Crossing Fist!
Crushing Fist!
Splitting Fist!
Cannon Fist!
Drilling Fist!
Every fist technique was used at precisely the right moment. As he killed the rats, Yang Yu deliberately tempered his Soaring Dragon Footwork as well. Finally, amid the high-intensity slaughter, his Movement Technique transformed into true Micro Level!
Only when there was not a single rat left within his field of vision
did Yang Yu emerge from the Killing Conception.
By then, the gauntlets on Yang Yu's hands were already covered in blood. The discarded war blade and the shield on his back were also stained with rat blood.
After such a long slaughter, Yang Yu had gone from deliberately circulating his Blade Technique to face the enemy at the beginning
to freely throwing punches as he wished later on.
Until every fist technique could be unleashed at will.
Yang Yu could clearly feel that he had transformed!
During the latter half of the battle.
When Yang Yu used the Splitting Fist, it was like the Thunder Blade's Thunderbolt Profundity, producing bursts of Thunderclap!
When he used the Cannon Fist, he was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, its roars shaking the air.
When he used the Crushing Fist, he was like a soaring dragon emerging from the sea, with endless dragon cries.
These and other sounds naturally shifted as Yang Yu used different fist techniques.
In truth, from the moment the Thunderclap sounded, Yang Yu had perfectly integrated Xingyiquan!
He then used the Thunderclap Artistic Conception produced by the Splitting Fist to drive breakthroughs in his other fist techniques, ultimately breaking through completely into the grandmaster realm!
Those strange sounds were caused when a Neijiaquan master broke through to the grandmaster realm, perfectly controlled every muscle, bone, and fascia in his body, and activated them at full strength, triggering Muscle and Bone Resonance.
The emergence of these sounds also meant that Yang Yu had finally officially become a Martial Way grandmaster!
Now, when using a war blade, he could achieve Unity of Person and Blade!
The war blade was like an extension of his limbs. Every slash could be incomparably natural, and every Blade Technique could be performed with flawless fluidity.
Even in the later stages of battle, Yang Yu could control his war blade and fists to compress the air before them when attacking, forming Blade Qi and Fist Force that could injure the rats from a distance.
That was an unexpected delight.
This way, even without using the methods of a Spirit Reader, Yang Yu could still threaten large Monsters.
Quietly savoring the gains from this journey.
Yang Yu raised his head and smiled happily.
At this moment, he seemed like someone who had returned from hell.
Although his smile was bright as sunshine, his entire body radiated an intense killing intent that could not be dispelled.
After killing hundreds of thousands of Mutated Rats, Yang Yu had acquired an invisible killing intent.
He looked up at the Drone Camera in the sky.
Yang Yu's eyes were cold and cruel.
"Gasp!!!"
"Senior's eyes are so cool."
When the beautiful junior girl Yang Yu had once saved met the gaze of Yang Yu on the screen, she suddenly shuddered. A soul-stirring sense of shock and admiration welled up within her.
At this moment, many others shared the same feeling as this junior girl.
"Who would have thought that such a Peerless Genius would be born in our Jiangnan City?" Inside the Central Command Center, an elderly man with graying hair sighed. "Xiao Jia, his strength is probably no weaker than yours, right?"
