The third level of the Flame Domain provided a significant boost to flight speed.
In just over ten seconds, Teng Qingshan crossed dozens of kilometers and appeared above the third line of defense, quietly watching the Beast Tide surging toward him from not far ahead.
"It's Sect Master Teng!"
"That's great, we're saved!"
"With Sect Master Teng here, those Monsters are just serving themselves up on a platter!"
At this moment.
Yangzhou City had already directed satellites and several drones toward Teng Qingshan in the sky, broadcasting the footage live to the Yangzhou City television station.
And the citizens, whether waiting at home or in shelters.
All eyes were now fixed on Teng Qingshan.
Looking at Teng Qingshan, who was shrouded in flames, looking cold and handsome.
All the citizens of Yangzhou City inexplicably calmed down.
Even though the split screen beside him showed countless Monsters screaming and roaring, their massive sizes and hideous appearances bringing a powerful sense of oppression.
But with Teng Qingshan there, and the countless soldiers there.
They were not afraid in the slightest!
"Qingshan..." On the third floor of the Xingyi Sect headquarters, Elder Teng stared blankly at his grandson, who looked like a War God of flame, his face filled with uncontrollable pride and joy.
Who could have imagined that the grandson who was once plagued by a troublesome mysterious illness had now become the guardian deity for the tens of millions of people in Yangzhou City.
"It's the Sect Master!"
The ordinary students of the Xingyi Sect who had not gone to the battlefield also looked excitedly at Teng Qingshan on the screen.
Disciples like Hong and Lin Menglan, who were clearing out stray Monsters in the city, also looked toward the outdoor television in the plaza.
That was their idol!
And the goal they were chasing.
"It's Qingshan..." Yang Guo, once Teng Qingshan's desk mate, murmured infatuatedly.
That handsome desk mate who was once excellent in both character and learning, but seemed to have poor health, had actually become the guardian deity of Yangzhou City.
Every time she thought of this, Yang Guo felt a sense of surrealism.
But the images of him blocking those dangerous avian Monsters above the city time and time again made Yang Guo, as well as Teng Qingshan's former classmates and teachers, all know that this was real.
This was the very same Teng Qingshan who used to be by their side!
Now.
This student from Yi'an District No. 1 High School, who had resolutely dropped out a year ago.
In a flash, he had become the greatest reliance for countless people to survive.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
They were still thousands of meters away, but the sound of the Monsters' roars had already arrived, and even the massive concrete walls were vibrating slightly.
"Interesting."
Just as the Beast Tide was about to enter within a thousand meters of the third line of defense.
Teng Qingshan moved!
Swish!
A fiery phantom instantly appeared a thousand meters away.
Then.
More than a dozen Bone Blades wreathed in fiery red currents struck toward the dozen or so Warlord Level Monsters.
Ssh! Ssh! Ssh! Ssh!
In an instant.
The massive heads of the dozen or so fastest Warlord Level Monsters flew into the sky.
With a thought, the most useful materials from these Warlord Level Monsters were also swept up by Teng Qingshan using his Telekinesis and placed with the army, to be processed into weapons by them collectively.
"What a fast blade!"
"I only felt a fiery red streak flash by, and those hideous Monsters were dead!"
"As expected of Sect Master Teng, the pride of our Yangzhou City!"
The speed at which Teng Qingshan controlled the Bone Blades to attack was too fast, and with the augmentation of the Flame Domain, the speed was so fast that even drones and satellites could not capture it.
Those Warlord Level Monsters, in the face of such speed, could not even react before they were instantly killed.
But it was clear that the ones driving this group of Monsters from behind were stronger Monsters hidden in the shadows.
"Yo~"
A high-pitched beast roar rang out.
Those Beast Soldier level monsters, which had hesitated after all their Warlord Level leaders were killed, instantly became bloodthirsty and charged forward again upon hearing that strange screech, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"So there is an even stronger monster. I wonder if it has stepped into the Lord Level."
Teng Qingshan's eyes turned cold. The 18 Bone Blades in front of him traced 18 streaks of light, instantly slaughtering the fastest Beast Soldier level monsters charging ahead.
In an instant.
These monsters fell in rows, just like wheat under the scythe of Death God.
However, Teng Qingshan did not kill them all; instead, he selectively let less than ten percent—a few hundred various Beast Soldier level monsters—rush past.
Although Teng Qingshan could slaughter these monsters without any effort, if he killed them all, the army behind him would not receive any tempering.
Any army or powerhouse is forged in iron and fire.
Moreover, with a few hundred Beast Soldier level monsters, plus the even more numerous but weaker cannon fodder monsters that hadn't even reached the Beast Soldier level, there was no threat to the army behind.
Equipped with a full range of military branches and the finest weapons, the army would have no problem dealing with these monsters that were below the Warlord Level.
After eliminating the most threatening ones, Teng Qingshan immediately flew toward the location where the screech had originated.
At this moment.
Dozens of kilometers behind the Beast Tide, a rat hidden in a pile of rubble saw its pale golden eyes suddenly constrict.
The scene of Teng Qingshan sweeping through its subordinates had terrified it!
Especially when it saw Teng Qingshan stepping on a spear and flying toward it at high speed, the Pale Gold Rat King, which was three meters long and covered in pale golden fur, instantly burrowed into the ground and fled into the distance.
Having reached the Primary Lord Level and possessing intelligence not inferior to humans, the Pale Gold Rat King didn't care if these subordinates, which it had gathered randomly around Yangzhou City, were all killed.
Its true subordinates, that countless horde of rat monsters, were currently in a mountain range hundreds of kilometers away.
To probe the strength of the humans, this highly intelligent rat king had chosen to use that group of cannon fodder to test the bottom line of the human side in Yangzhou City.
It would have been fine if it hadn't tested them, but the test nearly scared the soul out of it!
Those Bone Blades that had completely transformed into flaming phantoms, and that human whose flight speed could even keep up with its burrowing speed—all of this made the rat king doubt its own existence!
Aren't humans supposed to be food? When did such a powerhouse pop up!
As the Pale Gold Rat King frantically burrowed and fled, this question surfaced in its mind.
If it weren't for its cautious nature, choosing to observe from a distance first, it would have suffered an unpredictable fate had it chosen to charge and kill alongside the Beast Tide!
It had an intuition.
Even though its fur had strong defenses and its teeth and claws had powerful attack capabilities.
It was still no match for that human shrouded in flame battle armor.
Swish, swish, swish~
Rats were naturally adept at digging holes, let alone a rat king that had evolved to the Primary Lord Level.
In less than a second, the Pale Gold Rat King had burrowed to a depth of over three hundred meters underground before heading toward its lair.
Yangzhou City is too dangerous! I will never come back here even if it kills me!
While fleeing, the rat king secretly swore to itself.
A few seconds later.
Teng Qingshan, stepping on the Samsara Spear, stopped above the pile of rubble.
"It certainly has good vigilance, slipping away so quickly."
The monster aura remaining here was not any kind that Teng Qingshan was familiar with before.
Yet, this aura was exceptionally powerful, completely surpassing the intensity of any High Warlord Level monster.
"Could it be that a Lord Level monster has already appeared at this point in time?"
