The Battle Begins

"Forget it, no rush. Anyway, I'm not going to break through to the War God Level anytime soon," Xu Qing thought for a moment.

Then he looked towards the shoreline.

Just one kilometer away is a War Base War Base, which spans both Huangpu River, blocking the entrance to the sea and preventing sea monsters from passing through and invading the inland along the river.

The Huangpu River are concave, forming a bay where countless sea monsters lurk, eyeing the danger.

The sea appears calm now, but that's an illusion; danger lurks beneath the surface.

Each time a beast tide erupts, those sea monsters will attack the War Base and the defensive fortifications on both sides of the river.

"Children, I've arrived. Welcome your king!" Xu Qing looked towards the bay. If it really was full of sea monsters, that would be fun.

As long as Xu Qing stands there, finds a spot anywhere, and stirs things up vigorously, any sea monster is definitely doomed.

This geographical location was perfect for Xu Qing; it was like a giant pot.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xu Qing saw a group of soldiers walking out of the War Base.

The soldiers were carrying dozens of iron pipe-like objects, about half a meter in diameter and seven or eight meters long, which also resembled sea mines.

They pushed these things into the sea, then turned around and returned to base.

"What's going on? Is it a depth charge? Are they going to war with a sea monster?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

However, he couldn't guess what their purpose was, since it was an operation by the Huaxia Military.

"I guess it's a depth charge missile, probably used to deal with the beast tide. Once those sea monsters rush in, it'll detonate directly," Xu Qing thought that was likely the case, because he would choose to do the same.

"That way, I can't sabotage their operation. It wouldn't be good if I destroyed their depth charges; they'd definitely make me pay for it," Xu Qing murmured.

The fact that the people at the War Base are launching depth charges at this moment—does it mean the sea monster is about to trigger a beast tide?

"It's very possible. I'll wait and see here. If not, I'll go home and rest for a few days," Xu Qing thought for a moment.

He's been out for over half a month now, and it's almost the end of August.

Xu Qing moved along the coastline, carrying out sea monster Strangulation operations every fifty kilometers, and had done so more than a hundred times in total.

Xu Qing cleaned up almost the entire coastline, which stretched for thousands of kilometers.

He killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of sea monsters, including over a thousand Lord Level monsters.

Xu Qing was so engrossed in killing that he felt nothing at all, treating it like a game, and he didn't even bother collecting any materials.

He killed so many Lord Level sea monsters along the coastline without alerting any King Level monsters, which shows that those King Level monsters don't appear in near-shore areas.

Or to put it another way, a thousand or so Lord Level are just a drop in the ocean compared to the sheer number of Lord Level sea monsters in the sea.

Then, Xu Qing stopped not far from the War Base.

"Little White, keep an eye on the base for me. Let me know if anything happens. I'm going to take a nap," Xu Qing, spreading out a soft cushion in the cabin and lying down.

"Yes, Master," Little White replied.

A day passed, and there was no activity at the base, nor any movement in the sea.

That evening, an email was sent to Xu Qing's Communication Watch.

"Hmm?" Xu Qing opened the email and was somewhat surprised.

"War God Xu Qing, please arrive at the Global Headquarters the Limit Martial Arts Hall in Hongning Base City before 6 PM on September 29th to meet with the other War God and proceed together to the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins. Please note the following points..."

After reading the email, Xu Qing began to ponder.

"The Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins, the one where you can get the Black God Set, right? Is the success rate really that low? Is it really that weird?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

A success rate of less than 30% is indeed quite low.

Furthermore, the Black God Set is prohibited inside; you can only wear your own combat uniform.

Of course, he could refuse to go, given the high risk of casualties and death.

"It seems a bit challenging, but that's what I like. I'll go for it. It can't possibly be difficult for me!" Xu Qing liked this sense of mystery. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of death, but rather that he had absolute confidence in himself.

"September 29th, that means there's still a month left," Xu Qing glanced at the date; today was the last day of August.

He remembered that his future brother-in-law, Luo Feng, would be serving as the Inspector the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Arts Hall, and the banquet he would be holding at the headquarters would be on the evening of September Number One, which was tomorrow night.

"Agreed," Xu Qing replied to the email.

Another day has passed.

"The banquet should have started by now, but there's still no movement here. It seems we've been waiting in vain," Xu Qing thought, looking at the calm bay in the darkness, with the occasional flash of searchlights streaking across the water.

"I'll go home tomorrow," Xu Qing thought to himself.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Suddenly, a muffled sound came, and the ground trembled slightly. Xu Qing looked in surprise at the bay, where huge waves were crashing into the sky.

"The depth charge missile exploded! Could it be that the sea monster has started its attack?" Xu Qing muttered.

But looking at the locations of the explosions, they were all in the center and outer parts of the bay, not near the land. If it were for defense, it shouldn't be like this.

This situation is more like a proactive attack, an initiative to start a war.

"The Military initiated the war? Interesting," Xu Qing thought to himself, then leaped up and rushed towards the bay.

Waaah!

Alarms blared in the War Base, and lights shone from both Huangpu River, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

On the sea surface, countless black dots rose rapidly and then burst out of the water.

Countless sea monsters, densely packed, filled the surface of the bay, leaping out of the water and rushing towards the War Base.

War has broken out!

Bang bang bang!

The sound of cannons deafened the heavens, and countless sparks erupted on the Huangpu River. Shells exploded on the sea, accompanied by blood.

Inside the base, the soldiers loaded their cannons, the cold muzzles aimed at the positions in front of the base, waiting for the sea monsters to break through the barrage of fire on both sides and land on the shore.

As the first wave of sea monsters surged onto the battlefield, the base commander shouted, "Fire!"

In an instant, countless cannon shots poured out, and the sea of fire directly engulfed the position, evaporating countless sea monsters.

However, many sea monsters are also thick-skinned and armored, making them completely unafraid of artillery fire.

The base also contains many Laser Cannon, specifically designed to deal with Lord Level sea monsters, and even King Level monsters.

"This scene is spectacular, even more exciting than a movie," Xu Qing said, watching the scene from the air, utterly shocked.

This is the war between humans and monsters.

The number of sea monsters has reached millions, making them impossible to count.

On the sea, one after another, sea monsters burst out of the water with a splash, just like fish in a pond.

"Children, welcome your king!" After the initial shock, Xu Qing plummeted towards the center of the bay like a shooting star.

A seventy or eighty-meter-tall sea monster had just emerged when it was torn apart, blood splattering dozens of meters high.

Xu Qing landed on the corpse, her bright eyes like stars, yet tinged with blood.

The surrounding monsters were all dumbfounded. "What's going on? Why are humans voluntarily rushing here?"

Without much hesitation, they pounced on Xu Qing all at once, their ugly, gaping maws reeking of a foul stench.

Since this human has willingly rushed over to his death, why should they be polite?

But the next second, all of these sea monsters were torn apart.

All that could be seen were thirty-six jet-black metal arrows circling Xu Qing at high speed; all the arrows Xu Qing had brought were here.

Manipulated by Spiritual Force, the arrows circled Xu Qing at high speed, forming a restricted area a hundred meters in size.

Bang! Bang!

One after another, ocean monsters exploded, and anything that grazed or touched was instantly reduced to dust; even Lord Level were no exception.

The carcass of that seventy or eighty-meter-tall sea monster was shredded into dust in no time, even the bones were reduced to fragments.

"Let's get started!" Xu Qing flashed a bright smile, with a hint of eeriness.

Thirty-six metal arrows, moving at high speed, formed a circular restricted area, much like a giant meat grinder, shredding all the sea monsters that broke through the surface into pieces.

In a short while, a large number of those sea monsters died; they disappeared as soon as they emerged from the sea.

Finally, the sea monsters discovered the situation, and the Lord Level creatures immediately issued orders to avoid that area.

Upon receiving the order, the sea monsters all moved to the sides.

Then, the Lord Level sea monsters surrounded Xu Qing and unleashed various attacks.

It includes electric shocks, venom, whipping, and ramming.

Xu Qing activated the Black God Set, wrapping himself up completely and turning into a Little Black Person. Electrocution and venom were completely ineffective against him.

Pfft!

The Lord Level sea monsters that charged at them, even those with armor, all shattered into pieces, as fragile as pieces of paper.

"And you all must die!" With a thought, Xu Qing unleashed arrows that mercilessly tore apart the bodies of the other Lord Level.

All the sea monsters that attacked Xu Qing, including the Lord Level, died.

However, the sea monsters' offensive did not stop. There were too many of them, millions, and they had a clear division of labor, with each area's sea monsters having their own tasks.

Even beneath the surface of the sea, sea monsters are at work, attacking the base of the War Base.

"Who is that? How did they arrive so quickly?" At the base, the commander was both shocked and puzzled when he saw Xu Qing displaying his prowess amidst the monster horde.

According to the commander's plan, reinforcements shouldn't be able to arrive so quickly.

"Which powerhouse Beyond War God of War is it? Could it be Inspector from the Limit Martial Arts Hall or the Thunder Martial Arts Hall?" The commander assumed Xu Qing was someone Beyond War God of War.

Just then, several fighter jets sped over and quickly arrived above the base.

"Commander!" Upon seeing the fighter jet, the commander immediately handed over command.

"Inspector Luo, Inspector Lei, please kill the Lord Level sea monster that has come ashore," Li Dawei, commander of the Southeast Military Region, communicated via his Communication Watch.

One fighter jet came from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, and the other from the Limit Martial Arts Hall. Both were high-ranking figures at the level of Inspector; they were Lei Meng and Luo Feng, respectively.

When the beast tide broke out, they immediately followed Commander Li to provide support.

Lei Meng and Luo Feng joined the battle directly and killed the sea monster.

"What's the situation?" Commander Li appeared in the command room, looking at the images on the screen.

"Everything is going according to plan, except for this person," the former commander pointed to a screen.

Commander Li stared at the image on the screen, astonished. "Black God Set? Where did such a powerful War God come from?"

"Commander, I think it might be an existence Beyond War God," the previous commander said.

"Unlikely. An existence Beyond War God of War wouldn't easily step down. It must be the War God, perhaps like Luo Feng, an Invincible War God," Commander Li guessed.

The commander thought about it and agreed, "Who could be an Invincible War God possessing the Black God Set?"

"Yes, who could it be?" Commander Li was also very curious. How dare they rush into the midst of the monsters? They clearly didn't take those sea monsters seriously at all.

At this moment, Luo Feng, who had just joined the battle, immediately noticed Xu Qing, "Xiao Qing!"

However, he was quite surprised to see Xu Qing wreaking havoc directly among the monster horde.

"Those are... arrows?! Their speed is far too fast, no less than twenty times the speed of sound," Luo Feng could only vaguely make out that those killing machine-like things were arrows.

Moreover, Luo Feng could tell that Xu Qing was controlling no fewer than twenty arrows.

"How exactly did he do it? Didn't he say he wouldn't follow the path of Spirit Controller? Even to maintain my full combat strength, I can only control ten Flying Dagger. Did he realize something else?" Luo Feng was extremely curious.

In short, Luo Feng was shocked and curious about Xu Qing's amazing performance.

"Inspector Luo, please enter the underwater area and kill those monsters that are crashing into the base's foundation," Commander Li contacted him.

"Okay, no problem," Luo Feng said without further thought, immediately steer the Soaring Sky Shuttle and plunge into the water.

"Prepare to drop incendiary bombs!" Commander Li issued the order.

Soon, planes dropped incendiary bombs from the sky, covering the War Base within a kilometer radius.

Xu Qing looked back and felt an immense sense of awe, as if half the sky had been set ablaze.

"I think I saw my future brother-in-law's fighter jet. He's here, isn't he? Never mind, let's get back to work," Xu Qing said as he raced across the sea, Strangulation down the monsters that burst from the surface like a meat grinder.

He's like a lawnmower, driving from one side to the other, and then from the other side back to this side.

This bay felt like his home, and he was cleaning it, a stark contrast to the War Base.

In fact, Xu Qing's Strangulation the sea monster on the sea surface did slow down the impact of the sea monster on the base.

At least many of the sea monsters were dealt with by Xu Qing before they even attacked the base.

This battle between humans and monsters continued until the morning of the following day.

On the sea surface, there was a thick layer of sea monster corpses floating on it, as if the sea surface was crowded with garbage.

The sun has risen, and its rays shine on the sea, creating a slightly unsettling sight.
