"That is the War God who was besieged to death by the rat tide, isn't it?"

Li Qingxu watched the projected image.

A middle-aged man covered in blood stood atop a high-rise building, while all around him was an endless, writhing tide of rats.

To form such a massive tide, the number of rats must have reached the hundreds of millions.

"It's the Dojo Master's fighter jet!"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Lu Gang's eyes.

Within the entire Limit Dojo, only the Dojo Master possessed such a fighter jet, which circled the sky like a predatory avian beast.

But when he saw the cabin door open and the figure that appeared, he was instantly stunned.

"Who is this young man? Why is he in the Dojo Master's jet? It's over!"

"Wait, no!"

"Hiss! He is actually standing in mid-air—he is beyond the War God Level!"

Lu Hai's expression shifted several times, from hope to despair, then to astonishment, and instantly back to hope again.

"Has this guy been beaten stupid by the rat pack?"

Watching the middle-aged man who looked like he was performing a face-changing act, Li Qingxu felt that even if he saved him, it would be as if he hadn't.

"Sen... Senior! I am Lu Gang of the Limit Dojo, please save me, Senior!"

Lu Gang didn't care about the age difference anymore, calling him Senior with every breath.

He had no choice; this young powerhouse beyond the War God Level was just standing at the cabin door watching, with no intention of saving him at all.

He was terrified that if he didn't speak up, this person might just leave!

"From the Limit Dojo?"

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

"Yes, Senior."

Lu Gang didn't even notice that he had become quite practiced at calling him Senior by now.

"Yo, there are quite a lot of them."

Looking out, the swarming tide of rats seemed to have converged into a black sea.

And the high-rise building they stood upon was like a piece of duckweed on that black sea.

"Senior, let's go; the number of rat beasts is too high."

Lu Gang looked down at the rat tide in terror and suggested.

He was truly afraid of this tide; it seemed infinite, and even though he had fought until he was exhausted, it felt as if the numbers hadn't decreased at all.

Although this Senior was a powerhouse beyond the War God Level, he worried that if the Senior really tried to fight the tide, he would be dragged to his death just like him.

"I've already come all this way, and you want me to leave?"

Li Qingxu glanced at him.

"But..."

Lu Gang wanted to say more, but Li Qingxu cut him off with a wave of his hand.

The next moment.

"Rumble!"

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

Accompanied by a brilliant golden light, there seemed to be the roar of thunder as well.

The next instant, a massive black hand solidified out of the void and slammed violently toward the ground!

"Boom!"

A space with a radius of a thousand meters appeared instantly within the dense rat tide.

But the next moment, it was filled once again by the swarming rat beasts.

Li Qingxu said nothing, simply unleashing the Void Great Hand Seal.

One after another, black palms that seemed to blot out the sky descended in an overwhelming barrage!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Sounds like collapsing mountains rang out amidst the swarming rat tide.

"So brutal!"

Lu Gang, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

He knew the gap between the War God Level and those beyond it would be vast, but the scene before him completely redefined his understanding.

The power of those black palms appearing out of thin air made even his heart tremble.

He felt that if he were to be struck even once, he would die instantly.

When did such a powerhouse appear in the dojo, and how had he never heard of him?

Lu Gang felt a sense of doubt in his heart.

"The Void Great Hand Seal is still the most comfortable to use; the speed at which it clears out these small fries is far superior to a domain."

Looking at the scene before him, Li Qingxu could not help but sigh with emotion.

He had been unleashing the Void Great Hand Seal once per second for a full ten minutes.

The effect was immediate; the surrounding area was now completely empty, and the ground even seemed to have sunk by several centimeters.

As for the trillions of rat monsters, they had already been reduced to a pulp of flesh and blood, merging into the earth.

Although the rat tide was massive in number, the vast majority were only soldier-level beasts, with a small number of commander-level beasts.

On the other side, when Luo Feng and his group arrived at the military's martial artist supply base, a large crowd of martial artists had already gathered there.

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

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

As he walked into the supply base, many martial artists who knew Luo Feng came over to ask questions and greet him.

After all, the outbreak of a rat tide was an extremely dangerous event, though fortunately, this was only a level-three rat tide, so the danger was not too great.

If it had been the legendary level-one rat tide, it would have been a catastrophe for the entire Jiangnan Base City.

By evening, dark clouds rolled across the sky, and gale-force winds swept over the land, accompanied by the occasional rumble of thunder. With a sudden crack of thunder, a torrential downpour began to fall.

On the rooftop of a townhouse in the supply base, Luo Feng sat on the veranda.

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

"Brother Chen, yes, I'm alright."

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

Luo Feng answered several phone calls; it was clear that the news of the level-three rat tide had reached even the many martial artists within Jiangnan Base City.

Every time a rat tide or an even more terrifying ant tide occurred, it was a time of heavy casualties for human martial artists.

"A single level-three rat tide, and so many people have already died."

"What about the legendary level-one rat tide?"

"And what about the even more terrifying wars between humans and monsters that are spoken of in legends?"

The war between monsters and humans was a war between two civilizations, a war between two races.

Once the war began, countless varieties of beast tides—land-dwelling monsters and all sorts of avian monsters—would cover the sky and earth.

The sky would be filled with countless avian monsters, the ground with endless beasts, the underground with burrowing monsters, and the lakes with aquatic monsters.

Rat tides and ant tides were merely a fraction of it.

That was the most terrifying war of all!

"Monsters are the mortal enemies of humanity. Nowadays, the oceans are the domain of the monsters, while on land, humans hold a slight advantage."

"In the air, however, the monsters have the upper hand, forcing humans to defend and counterattack from within their various base cities!"

Luo Feng had never realized it before, always feeling that monsters were simply being slaughtered by martial artists, but today he finally understood.

It was entirely possible for monsters to wipe humanity off the face of the earth.

If humanity were to perish, what would become of parents, family, culture, or morality?

"My strength is not enough, nowhere near enough."

Luo Feng's gaze fell upon the endless horizon, and in a trance, he seemed to see the figure of that white-robed youth.

At the very least, he had to reach that level, or perhaps even surpass him!

At this moment, Luo Feng's eyes were exceptionally firm.

They were both of the same generation; he refused to believe that he would be any worse than him!

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled, and from time to time, a bolt of lightning appeared, striking down from the sky.
