Resolving the Level Three Rat Tide

"He must be the War God who was surrounded and killed by the rat tide."

Li Qingxu watched the projected image.

A blood-soaked middle-aged man stood atop a high-rise building, surrounded by an endless, churning sea of rats.

A rat tide this enormous must have numbered in the hundreds of millions, if not more.

"That's the Dojo Master's aircraft!"

Hope flared in Lu Gang's eyes.

Only the Dojo Master owned an aircraft like that in the entire Limit Dojo. It circled through the sky like a ferocious flying beast.

But when Lu Gang saw the figure emerge as the cabin door opened, he froze.

"Who's that young man? Why is he on the Dojo Master's aircraft? We're finished!"

"Wait!"

"Gasp! He's standing in midair. He's beyond War God level!"

Lu Gang's expression shifted several times, from hope to despair, then to surprise, before turning hopeful again.

"Has this guy been beaten stupid by the rats?"

Watching the middle-aged man make expressions like he was performing a face-changing act, Li Qingxu felt that even if he saved him, it would be as good as not saving him at all.

"P-predecessor! I'm Lu Gang of the Limit Dojo. Please save me!"

Lu Gang no longer cared about the difference in their ages. He kept calling Li Qingxu "predecessor."

He had no choice. This young, beyond-War-God-level powerhouse was standing right at the cabin entrance, just watching. He showed no sign of intending to rescue him.

Lu Gang was afraid that if he didn't speak up, the man would leave.

"You're with the Limit Dojo?"

As a voice rang out, Li Qingxu was already standing beside him.

"Yes, predecessor."

Lu Gang hadn't even noticed how naturally he'd started calling Li Qingxu "predecessor."

"Well, there sure are a lot of them."

Looking out, he saw a vast, surging mass of rats, like a dark sea.

The high-rise they stood on was like a lone leaf floating atop it.

"Predecessor, let's go. There are too many of these rat monsters."

Lu Gang stared fearfully at the tide below them and suggested that they leave.

He was truly terrified of the rat tide. It seemed endless. He'd already fought until he was nearly exhausted, yet it didn't feel as though their numbers had diminished at all.

Although Li Qingxu was a beyond-War-God-level powerhouse, Lu Gang worried that if he fought the rat tide, he would be dragged down and killed just as Lu Gang nearly had been.

"I came all this way, and you want me to leave?"

Li Qingxu glanced at him.

"But..."

Lu Gang tried to say more, but Li Qingxu cut him off with a wave.

The next moment—

"Rumble!"

A sound like a surging tsunami erupted from within Li Qingxu.

Brilliant golden light appeared, accompanied by the rumble of lightning.

The next instant, a giant black hand took shape in midair and slammed down toward the ground!

"Boom!"

A circle a thousand meters across appeared in the densely packed rat tide.

But in the next instant, it was filled again by the swarming rat monsters.

Li Qingxu said nothing. He simply unleashed the Void Great Hand Seal.

One enormous black palm after another, each seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, came crashing down!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A series of thunderous roars, like mountains collapsing, echoed through the vast rat tide.

"How brutal!"

Lu Gang stared in stunned disbelief.

He knew the gap between War God level and beyond War God level was enormous, but the scene before him had completely upended his understanding.

The black palms appearing out of thin air were so powerful that he felt a chill just looking at them.

He was certain that if even one struck him, he would die instantly.

When had the Dojo brought in a powerhouse like this? How had I never heard of him?

Lu Gang was puzzled.

"The Void Great Hand Seal really is more satisfying to use. It clears out the weak monsters much faster than a domain."

Looking at the scene before him, Li Qingxu couldn't help but sigh.

He unleashed one Void Great Hand Seal every second and kept it up for a full ten minutes.

The results were immediate. The area around them had been completely cleared, and even the ground seemed to have sunk a few centimeters.

As for the trillions of rat monsters, they had been crushed into a bloody pulp and blended into the ground.

Though the rat tide had been enormous, the vast majority were beast soldiers, with only a small number of beast generals among them.

Meanwhile, when Luo Feng and the others reached the military district's Warrior Supply Base, a large crowd of warriors had already gathered there.

"Madman, I knew you wouldn't die."

"Madman, when you were in County 0231, did you see Old Liu and the others?"

As Luo Feng entered the Supply Base, many warriors who knew him came over to ask questions and greet him.

After all, a rat tide was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, this time it was only a level three rat tide, which wasn't too harmful.

If it had been the legendary level one rat tide, it would have been a calamity for all of Jiangnan Base City.

By dusk, dark clouds rolled across the sky and gale-force winds swept over the land. Thunder rumbled now and then, and with a deafening crack of thunder, rain poured down in sheets.

On the rooftop terrace of a row house in the Supply Base, Luo Feng sat beneath the covered walkway.

"Captain, I'm fine. I was lucky enough to be rescued by that super powerhouse."

"Brother Chen, yeah, I'm fine."

"Brother Tie, haha, of course I'm alive and well."

Luo Feng took several calls. Apparently, news of the level three rat tide had spread, and even many warriors in Jiangnan Base City had heard about it.

Whenever a rat tide or an even more terrifying ant tide struck, warriors suffered heavy casualties.

"A level three rat tide has already killed so many people."

"What about the legendary level one rat tide?"

"And what about the even more terrifying war between humanity and the monsters?"

The war between monsters and humanity was a war between two civilizations, two species.

Once it began, countless kinds of beast monsters would surge across the land, while all sorts of flying monsters filled the sky.

The sky would be packed with flying monsters, the ground with countless beasts, and burrowing monsters would swarm beneath the earth. Monsters would even fill the lakes.

Rat tides and ant tides were only part of it.

That was the most terrifying kind of war!

"Monsters are the true enemies of humanity. The oceans already belong to them. On land, humanity has only a slight advantage."

"Monsters dominate the skies. Forced into one Base City after another, humanity can only defend and counterattack!"

Luo Feng had never really understood this before. He had always thought monsters were simply prey for warriors to hunt, but now, at last, he understood.

Monsters could completely wipe humanity off the face of the earth.

If humanity perished, what would be left to say about parents and loved ones, culture and morality?

"My strength still isn't enough. It's far from enough."

Luo Feng gazed into the boundless world in the distance. In a daze, he seemed to see the figure of that white-robed young man.

At the very least, he had to reach that man's level—or even surpass him!

At that moment, Luo Feng's gaze was exceptionally resolute.

They were the same age. He refused to believe he couldn't measure up to him!

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled, and now and then a flash of lightning appeared, striking down from the sky.
