The Diamond Ape Appears!

After leaving the command room, Teng Qingshan stepped onto the Samsara Spear and swept rapidly across the area of Jiangnan Base City. After confirming there were no Lord Level monsters, he flew toward the direction of the former Hui Province.

The communication watch on his wrist indicated that a migration convoy was currently under attack by monsters there.

This convoy was massive, with over a hundred thousand civilians being relocated; it was one of the many population transfers from a district in the former capital of Hui Province.

However, at a location still over three hundred kilometers away from the base city, they had been intercepted by several high-level Warlord Level monsters and thousands of Beast Soldier level monsters.

The military unit responsible for the transfer was struggling to hold on and was on the verge of being overwhelmed by the Beast Tide.

Upon seeing the distress signal.

Teng Qingshan flew over immediately.

He fully expanded his domain.

One could see Teng Qingshan covered in a faint layer of flame armor.

Even the Samsara Spear was enveloped in a fiery red current of air.

In an instant, Teng Qingshan's speed soared to its limit, turning into a streak of light that vanished into the horizon.

"Qingshan's speed has increased even further."

"Chief, satellite data shows General Teng's speed has actually reached 1500m/s. It's truly mind-boggling!"

In the command room, Chief Wang Hai and several other deputy chiefs and chiefs of staff watched the green dot representing Teng Qingshan moving rapidly across the projection screen, all of them filled with astonishment.

A speed of 1500 meters per second already exceeded that of the most advanced contemporary fighter jets.

Over three hundred kilometers away, at such a speed, Teng Qingshan arrived above a plain in less than ten minutes.

Here.

A bloody battle between the human military and monsters was taking place.

The experienced and well-equipped army was currently protecting over a hundred thousand civilians behind rows of armored vehicles and tanks.

On the perimeter, a massive number of monsters were charging the human defensive line.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

Countless monsters shrieked and roared.

Rumble!!!

The sound of artillery fire shook the heavens.

In Teng Qingshan's field of vision, countless Iron-Haired Boars, Shadow Cats, Reckless Bulls, Bloodthirsty Tanks, and Black-Line Snakes were constantly attempting to break through the wall of fire.

The military was desperately pouring out all their ammunition, trying their best to slaughter the monsters approaching their position.

Vulcan Machine Guns were spitting out a torrent of metal at a rate of a hundred rounds per second, keeping the low-level Beast Soldier monsters completely isolated outside the defensive line.

High-powered shells from howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, and mortars were also being fired recklessly, blasting deep craters into the plain ahead and killing piles of monsters.

But whether it was machine gun bullets or artillery shells, while they were effective against ordinary Beast Soldier monsters, the Warlord Level monsters possessed enough neural reaction speed to dodge before the shells could hit them.

These conventional thermal weapons posed very limited threats to them.

Unless they were willing to expend massive amounts of ammunition for large-scale bombardment, it was nearly impossible to inflict significant damage on these Warlord Level monsters.

This was the reason why, until now, those Warlord Level monsters with a certain level of intelligence had not dared to launch a full-scale assault on the human defensive line.

Their tactic was to use a massive number of Beast Soldier monsters to deplete human ammunition; once the firepower weakened, that would be the moment they attacked!

It had to be said that in the process of fighting humans, the intelligence of these monsters was evolving at a rapid pace, and they already knew how to employ simple tactics.

"Brigade Commander, our ammunition is almost depleted!"

Inside an armored vehicle.

A communications soldier was reporting urgently to Brigade Commander Zhang, who was in charge of this transfer.

"Hold the line! Our reinforcements will be here soon!" Brigade Commander Zhang, his face resolute, looked invigorated. "General Teng has accepted our request for aid and will arrive at the battlefield shortly!"

"General Teng?" The communications soldier was visibly shaken upon hearing this. "That's great! Once General Teng arrives, we can wipe out these beasts entirely."

The communications soldier immediately relayed the news via radio to all sectors, and every soldier who received the message was filled with excitement.

They had assumed that if they failed to repel these monsters before their ammunition ran out, the next phase would be a true bloodbath.

The strongest individual among them was merely an officer who had reached the level of an elementary Warlord; facing a Warlord Level monster, he would be torn to shreds in an instant!

The Warlord Level Martial Artists, who had been born with such difficulty among humanity, were now so fragile when facing monsters.

But fortunately, they had waited for Teng Qingshan!

High in the sky.

Teng Qingshan observed the situation first and, finding no traces of Lord Level monsters in the vicinity, immediately dove toward the area where the Beast Tide was concentrated.

Controlling over a dozen Flying Daggers, they instantly transformed into a dozen scythes of a Death God. In less than a minute, the Beast Tide that had been on the verge of crushing the military was completely eliminated by Teng Qingshan alone.

Watching Teng Qingshan, who looked like a Heavenly God descended to earth, reaping tens of thousands of monsters with a wave of his hand, both the soldiers and the civilians in the rear were stunned into speechlessness.

"You may handle these monster materials yourselves; I must hurry to the next location!"

Teng Qingshan's voice resounded throughout every corner of the battlefield.

He then rushed toward another location where the situation was extremely critical.

Watching Teng Qingshan vanish into the horizon like a streak of flaming light.

The only officer below who had reached the strength of an elementary Warlord looked on with eyes filled with deep reverence, "I, Li Dawei, must become a War God in this lifetime!"

"Beep, beep, beep!!!"

While in flight.

The specialized communication watch on his left wrist was emitting a constant beeping sound.

A small, blood-red dot was continuously expanding and contracting.

"Has a Lord Level Monster finally appeared..."

Teng Qingshan, flying at extreme speed, stared at the location represented by the blood-red dot, his eyes filled with boundless coldness.

The dozen or so Warlord Level Monsters, over ten thousand Beast Soldier level monsters, and the even greater number of cannon-fodder beasts he had just slaughtered were merely an appetizer.

The distress signal that had just appeared represented the most urgent situation at this stage: a Lord Level Monster had surfaced!

In the time prior to this.

The strongest monster to appear on the front lines had only been a Fire-Scaled Trident Pig that had evolved to the high-level Warlord stage.

"Let me see which Lord Level Monster dares to show its head."

Transforming into a streak of flaming light, Teng Qingshan burst forth at his maximum speed, shooting toward the southeast.

At this moment.

Beside an unknown lake.

An unprecedented war was erupting.

Hundreds of thousands of human troops and tens of thousands of monsters were locked in a frenzied slaughter.

Countless bullets and shells fell like raindrops, engulfing the crazed, bloodthirsty monsters.

The intensity of the war far exceeded the battle from just moments ago.

Amidst the hail of bullets and shells, an ape standing ten meters tall, its entire body covered in a layer of pale gold scales, was weaving nimbly through the battlefield.

It was none other than the Diamond Ape, which had reached the strength of an elementary Lord!

At this moment, the speed of this Diamond Ape had already exceeded the speed of sound; its pale golden phantom flickered across the battlefield, making it impossible for human artillery to lock onto it.

Every high-powered shell fired was easily dodged, and with a casual slap, it could crush a tank!

Those machine gun bullets that happened to strike its body couldn't even provide a decent scratch.

"Aaaah!!!"

Looking at the string of shells and the rain of machine gun bullets falling behind it.

The eyes of this Diamond Ape revealed a deeply human-like disdain. Its massive form streaked across as a pale golden phantom, and as its giant palm descended, another armored vehicle spewing a torrent of metal bullets was smashed to pieces, the soldiers inside killed in an instant.
