Lord's Support

In the corner of the building.

The three people hiding elsewhere, waiting for the beast horde's attacks to drain Fang Yi's stamina, wore expressions of disbelief after hearing this.

"He knows our position?" The captain of Goshawk Squad adjusted his headset, his expression complex.

The other two members cursed in confusion.

"Fuck, how did that guy find us?"

"Charlie, didn't you hit him? You couldn't even wound him?"

"I can't, this guy knows I'm aiming at him and keeps dodging. Plus, his speed is incredibly fast; there's simply no opening." The sniper's tone was full of helplessness.

"Such a thing? He might possess some visual detection methods. There's no need to hide anymore, let's attack together!" The Goshawk Squad captain issued the order.

Immediately.

The three hidden figures rushed out simultaneously, guided by their teammate's intel, and charged toward Fang Yi to finish him off.

"Hmm? They're coming straight out. Looks like they want to kill me by force."

Fang Yi watched them emerge. Helan stopped in his tracks and casually controlled his shield to send a Beast General flying.

At this moment, the aggro of many surrounding monsters was focused entirely on him.

After the three rushed out, some monsters ignored them completely. Aside from a few that reacted to the human attacking nearby, all of whom were dealt with by the trio, the rest of the monsters continued to charge in his direction.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!"

One member of Goshawk Squad pulled out a heavy machine gun and fired continuously at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi hurriedly controlled his shield, imbuing it with a layer of psychic power to block his front.

Bullets slammed into the shield, creating sparks with every impact, while other high-velocity rounds were neutralized by his psychic power.

"Ah!!!"

The man on the left slashed down with a heavy blade. Fang Yi's eyes flickered as he dodged to the side and immediately threw a punch.

The man's reaction was not slow; he quickly turned his heavy blade to block.

Despite the blade blocking the punch, he was still knocked back by the terrifying force of Fang Yi's strike, flying toward the stone wall at the edge while cursing, "Fuck!"

As Fang Yi retracted his fist.

A throwing knife snuck in from the side. Fang Yi immediately punched out, knocking the blade off course toward the edge.

He then glanced at his fists; knife marks had already appeared on his Fist Armor.

"A Psychic Master?"

Fang Yi looked toward a bearded white man.

The Goshawk Squad captain gave a cold snort, his eyes filled with wariness. He then spoke in heavily accented Chinese:

"Heh, I'm no expert, just recently awakened myself. I didn't expect you to be a Psychic Master too. No wonder you dared to come to the Demon Cave alone to hunt this Primary Lord beast, and even succeeded."

"I admit you are strong, you even killed one of my teammates... but after battling a Lord-level beast and clearing out a massive horde, you aren't in the best state, are you?"

The Goshawk Squad captain narrowed his eyes.

He licked his lips, controlled a throwing knife to return to his side, and a look of greed appeared on his face.

He then killed a passing Advanced Beast Soldier that had set its sights on him.

There were still many monsters gathered around both parties.

The scene could be described as extremely chaotic.

"Please step away from the edge of my spoils, and then... go to hell!"

The Goshawk captain immediately controlled his throwing knife to circle and attack, while drawing a Blood Shadow War Blade from his waist to follow up.

Fang Yi controlled his shield to block the other man's machine gun fire.

He knocked away the incoming throwing knife first, then leaped to dodge the captain's blade strike. However, he saw the captain suddenly shift his blade technique, swinging it with the speed and ferocity of thunder.

This blade technique focused on only one thing—speed!

In just one exchange, Fang Yi realized the opponent was using the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.

After all, the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was centered entirely on speed.

Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, recognized as a top-tier blade technique on Earth. It seems this squad captain is indeed capable; at least he doesn't skimp on his own training. Fang Yi thought to himself.

Fang Yi currently had no intention of practicing with weapons. Firstly, he wasn't skilled with them, and secondly, he wanted to build a foundation for the future.

The most primitive and inseparable thing for a human is their own body.

The body is the weapon.

And the body has fists, elbows, legs, knees, and even the head and teeth.

Fang Yi was currently improving himself in a unique way.

By fighting others without using weapons, treating his own body as a weapon, and integrating his boxing and other combat techniques into a cohesive whole.

In the Devouring World.

Weapons are an incredibly powerful combat asset, yet there are some special races that naturally rely on their bodies, brute strength, and the like to become powerhouses.

Fang Yi is well aware of this, and he also knows that the "weapons" of the body should not be underestimated.

If he were to encounter special circumstances in the future, such as losing his telekinetic weapons or the weapon in his hand, he would still be able to rely on his fists and other parts of his body to fight.

In other words.

If one can defeat others with bare hands, then having a weapon in hand will only make it easier. Of course, there are exceptions, but having a weapon is ultimately an advantage.

Therefore.

Fang Yi has already begun preparing to train with weapons, starting, of course, with telekinetic weapons.

But that is a matter for after he clears the Demon Cave.

"Let me see what you can do with that Nine-Layered Thunder Blade."

Fang Yi stops dodging and throws both fists out, using combat techniques to counter the opponent's fierce blade work.

"Then open your eyes and take a good look!"

The captain of the Goshawk Squad swings his blade, his speed increasing even further.

Yet every strike is precisely blocked by Fang Yi's fists. Relying on his Fist Armor and the enhancement of the Creation Divine Light, the opponent's Blood Shadow War Blade cannot harm Fang Yi's hands.

At this point, Fang Yi's fists are more like shield-shaped weapons fused to his body.

After several rounds of exchanging blows, the Goshawk captain still cannot inflict any significant damage. Fang Yi consistently deflects the attacks with ease and is even able to launch counterattacks!

He casually knocks back and slays a Beast-General Rank monster that rushes at him again.

Every few exchanges, both sides essentially have to make time to clear the surrounding monsters.

Then, they resume their battle.

When the Goshawk Squad captain's war blade is blocked and parried aside once more, his center is left wide open! Fang Yi seizes the opportunity and throws a fierce punch straight at the enemy's chest.

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

The Goshawk Squad captain coughs up a mouthful of blood and hurriedly retreats.

Fang Yi does not press the attack, because another squad member takes this opportunity to strike. After repelling the captain, he immediately engages the other person.

As for the member with the machine gun, although he keeps firing, he is constantly kept in check by the shield.

"Fuck!"

Seeing his machine gun fire being blocked by Fang Yi's shield, failing to cause effective damage while wasting plenty of ammunition, the man becomes instantly exasperated.

He tosses the machine gun aside, draws a giant axe from his waist, and joins the fray.

But just as he prepares to enter the fight, a single armor-piercing round streaks through the air—"Bang!"

The man's arm is instantly pierced through!

"Ah! What are you doing!" Clutching his severed arm, the man glares toward the sniper position.

While swinging his blade, the Goshawk Squad captain also turns his head to look at his teammate, asking, "Charlie, what are you doing?"

Then, they see that the Goshawk Squad member at the sniper position has collapsed to the side.

His forehead has been pierced by a long blade.

Two other people stand beside the corpse, one of whom is holding a sniper rifle, aiming in their direction.

The injured Goshawk Squad member and their captain both have their pupils dilate in shock.

They recognize those two; they are the squad they encountered earlier when they snatched the Red Crystal Horned Deer. They had intended to silence them, but because that squad ran too fast and they couldn't keep up, they had to give up.

They never expected that they would actually turn back instead of leaving the Demon Cave directly.

"Damn it!"

Just as the Goshawk Squad captain is stunned, Fang Yi's fist strikes.

The Goshawk Squad captain hurriedly blocks, but the force of the punch still leaves his hand numb.

His war blade nearly slips from his grip.

The other Goshawk member has already been beaten into a sorry state, his hands trembling uncontrollably, unable to hold his heavy blade. But since he was knocked too far away, Fang Yi decides to finish off their captain first.

Just as he is about to press the advantage, a figure suddenly flashes past, shouting, "Brother, let me take the dog head of that Goshawk Squad captain!"

As it turns out.

The source of the voice is the captain of the squad that was hunting the Red Crystal Horned Deer earlier. He is gripping his long spear with a look of fury, thrusting it toward the Goshawk Squad captain!

"You? A mid-level War General trash, and you want my life!"

The Goshawk Squad captain hurriedly twists his body, swinging his war blade rapidly to parry the spear thrust.

At this moment.

The scene is in chaos.

Everyone present not only had to fight their own enemies but also clear out the monsters attacking indiscriminately in the surrounding area.

Fang Yi frowned slightly at the sight, It seems that while I wasn't looking, this Goshawk Squad has been wreaking havoc on other martial artists as well...

Fang Yi did not say anything more.

He slaughtered most of the monsters in the vicinity that were attacking only him, and only then did he move to deal with another member of the Goshawk Squad; although some monsters were now attacking others indiscriminately, most of them remained fixated on Fang Yi.

Just as Fang Yi was clearing out the monsters, a terrifying screech suddenly echoed from a residential complex not far away.

"Wooo—!"

A massive avian monster, a peak intermediate-level lord, beat its enormous wings and hurtled toward Fang Yi.
