Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 158 Beautiful Bubbles

Up until now, although the battle seemed very devastating, not much time had actually passed. It had only been a few minutes at most.

However, in just a few minutes, the situation on the field had already undergone a major reverse.

Lin Feng killed three Pangolin Beasts by himself and severely injured a Pangolin Beast. Of the 46 Pangolin Beasts, only 42 still had combat ability left.

The balance on the battlefield was completely broken. Lin Feng only needed to go over and converge with the other Metamorphic Realm martial artists one by one, and join forces to kill more Pangolin Beasts. Then, he could liberate more Metamorphic Realm martial artists and continue to expand the advantage.

It could be said that the battle had only lasted for a few minutes, but the suspense had already been lost. The scales of victory were already rapidly tipping towards the South Mountain Base.

Chen Xue saw Lin Feng unleash his prowess. His entire body was covered in blood. Although he was in a sorry state, he had killed four Pangolin Beasts and changed the entire battlefield almost single-handedly.

Her expression was very complicated. Back then, Brother Zhou was the same. Usually, at the critical moment, it was Zhou Yun who unleashed his prowess and changed the situation. However, in the end, Zhou Yun almost destroyed the South Mountain Base. The Brother Zhou in her heart might still be an indomitable hero, but in the eyes of other martial artists, Zhou Yun was even a guilty

man.

Lin Feng used this opportunity to catch his breath and rest for a while to recover from his injuries. Although his physique was very strong and his physical strength was astonishing, it was actually very tiring to unleash four Spiral Forces at full force continuously. Lin Feng could see the situation on the battlefield at a glance. There were a few Metamorphic Realm martial artists who were in some danger. They were all First Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, and had very little Astral Power in their bodies. Holding off two Pangolin Beasts for a few minutes was already their limit.

If too much time passed and their Astral Power was exhausted, their lives might even be in danger.

Among them, Chen Xue was in the most difficult situation. She was very “ferocious”. Every time her Astral Power erupted, she would clash head-on with the Pangolin Beasts. However, she lost every time. If this continued, sooner or later, she would be torn to pieces by the two Pangolin Beasts.

Just as Lin Feng was about to aid those martial artists in dire straits, the ground suddenly seemed to be shaking. A large number of Pangolin Beasts surged out from the underground tunnels not far away.

Lin Feng’s expression was solemn. He stared intently at the Pangolin Beasts. Ordinary Pangolin Beasts were one thing, but what he was most concerned about were those Pangolin Beast demons. Could there be more Pangolin Beast demons in the underground lair?

One, two, three…

When the massive Pangolin Beast demons appeared one after another, Lin Feng grimaced. About nine more Pangolin Beasts crawled out from the ground, and all of them were about the same size as the two largest Pangolin Beasts that Lin Feng had killed previously.

Even among the Pangolin Beast demons, they must all be rather powerful.

As soon as the nine Pangolin Beast demons appeared, they let out roars, as if expressing their anger. As the nine Pangolin Beast demons roared, all the Pangolin Beasts that were fighting seemed to go berserk. Their eyes became bloodshot, and the rock-like skin on their bodies actually gradually showed some patterns, with a faint blood-colored glow flickering.

They had strengthened again. The defense of these Pangolin Beasts seemed to have increased again! Moreover, all of them fought fiercely without regard for their lives, as if they were afraid of something.

“Something is wrong. These nine Pangolin Beasts must have unusual identities. They’re passing on orders!”

Lin Feng’s mind analyzed it rapidly. The Pangolin Beasts were dire beasts that lived in hordes. There was one characteristic about dire beasts that lived in hordes, and it was that they had very strict hierarchies. Moreover, they had a common leader. The fact that these nine Pangolin Beasts could even berate some smaller Pangolin Beasts meant that their status was definitely extraordinary.

If they were all just conveying orders, whose orders would they be conveying? Probably only orders from the demon general among the Pangolin Beasts. That demon general was equivalent to the supreme “king” among the Pangolin Beasts, and could command all the Pangolin Beasts.

If that was the case, the situation would be terrible. Perhaps so many Pangolin Beasts had shown up here due to personal commands from the demon general.

As the nine Pangolin Beasts appeared, all the Pangolin Beasts went berserk. Even the 42 Pangolin Beast demons seemed to disregard their lives and began to attack the Metamorphic Realm martial artists in a frenzy.

Hence, the pressure on all the martial artists increased steeply, and many martial artists were even killed because of it.

“This won’t do. If this continues, we’ll definitely suffer a crushing defeat!”

Lin Feng saw it very clearly. The overall strength of the South Mountain Base was far inferior to these Pangolin Beasts. If he had not dealt with those four Pangolin Beasts, the situation would not have turned around at all.

Now, with the appearance of the Nine Pangolin Beast demons, the situation had returned to being advantageous for the Pangolin Beasts.

Lin Feng wanted to rescue the other martial artists, but he realized that the nine Pangolin Beasts which newly appeared had already set their sights on him.

“Escape?”

Lin Feng thought of dodging immediately. With his speed, it would be easy for him to escape. However, if he fled, and the nine Pangolin Beasts charged around recklessly, how many martial artists would die brutally as a result?

There was probably no one who could stop these nine Pangolin Beasts.

“Nine Pangolin Beast demons. That’s too many.”

Lin Feng frowned. Even though he had the undying characteristic, it was actually still very dangerous for him to face off the nine Pangolin Beast demons. He was not truly undying. If his injuries were too severe, and he was torn to pieces by the Pangolin Beasts, he would still die.

“Retreat. Everyone, retreat. The 21 battalion leaders, cover the retreat!”

Lin Feng suddenly shouted. At the same time, he also issued an order to retreat to all the martial artists with the authority of the Chief Commander through the communicators. Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to retreat.

However, the inhuman experts could not retreat. If the inhuman experts could not cover the retreat and were pursued into the base by the Pangolin Beasts, the entire South Mountain Base would be destroyed.

The 21 inhuman experts naturally knew how dangerous it would be for them to stay behind and cover the retreat. They might even die! However, none of them were discontent. The day they went to the frontline, they were already mentally prepared.

The martial artists began to retreat. The 21 inhuman experts and Lin Feng continued to hold the line in front. As there were still at least two Pangolin Beast demons attacking in a frenzy, some martial artists could not hold out anymore and began to suffer injuries.

Among them, Chen Xue’s injuries were the most severe.

Rumble.

The nine Pangolin Beasts had already begun to run wildly, heading straight for Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng could not retreat. He could only resist them head-on. With the undying characteristic, the defensive armor, and his powerful physique, he could only resist them head-on!

Bang

A Pangolin Beast slammed into Chen Xue. Without the protection of Astral Power, Chen Xue was sent flying. Her arms hung weakly, and they were already a mess of flesh and blood.

She no longer had any Astral Power, and Metamorphic Realm martial artists without Astral Power were just ordinary martial artists that were slightly stronger.

“Chen Xue!”

Lu Wei wanted to save Chen Xue, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t even protect himself.

Other than Lu Wei, who else would be concerned for Chen Xue’s life?

“Heh.”

Chen Xue looked around. She glanced at the anxious Lu Wei, and then at Lin Feng, who was solemn as he faced off formidable enemies. She smiled.

“Brother Zhou, I’m coming to accompany

you…”

Chen Xue closed her eyes and recalled the scene when she first arrived at the South Mountain Base. Back then, Zhou Yun was a hero, the Chief Commander of the base, and was admired by everyone.

However, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yun was dead, and the pillar of support in her heart seemed to have collapsed.

She knew that no matter the outcome, she would go to the Martial Artist Court. As long as she survived, she would be punished. Since this was the case, she would stop struggling. She was willing to die on the battlefield.

That was where she belonged, and this was what she dreamed of. She could go and find Zhou Yun…

Thump.

The two Pangolin Beasts hurtled past. Their massive bodies crushed Chen Xue’s body. In the blink of an eye, Chen Xue’s entire body was turned into a pulp, and she became a cooling corpse. “Incoming!”

Chen Xue was dead. Lin Feng did not feel any sorrow. He did not even pay much attention to Chen Xue. There were bound to be sacrifices in war. Chen Xue was just a pitiful and foolish woman.

Chen Xue choosing to die in battle was probably the best outcome.

However, although Chen Xue was dead, the situation on the battlefield still did not change. In fact, the situation on the battlefield became even worse. The two Pangolin Beasts that killed Chen Xue hurtled towards the other martial artists again.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng had to face the approaching nine Pangolin Beast demons.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. He could see the insanity, excitement, and bloodlust in the eyes of the nine Pangolin Beasts. He could hear the deep roars of the nine Pangolin Beasts. He could even feel how powerful the blood surging through their bodies were.

At this moment, Lin Feng was also facing a formidable enemy. It was as if he was back in Dragonlith City, in the midst of that life-or-death battle.

But now, he was stronger. He was not a weakling!

Boom.

Lin Feng unleashed all the Astral Power in his body. He had unleashed 200 strands of Astral Power previously, and now, the remaining 2,400 strands of Astral Power in his body were all unleashed.

“Void Bubble!”

Immediately, the Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body surged out of his body in a torrent. By condensing each Astral Bubble with 400 strands of Astral Power, six translucent Astral Bubbles immediately appeared in the void.

The six Astral Bubbles were mesmerizingly beautiful. Under the sunlight, they emitted a variety of colors. Streaming light and iridescent colors flowed on the bubbles, and there were even glimmers of a rainbow, ethereal.

“What are those?”

“How beautiful.”

“I’ve never seen anything so magical…”

Many martial artists saw the six air bubbles in the void. Even though they were still on the brutal battlefield, they could not help but be attracted by the beautiful bubbles, and be deeply mesmerized by their beauty.

It wasn’t just the martial artists. Even six of the nine Pangolin Beast demons were unknowingly enveloped by the six bubbles. They did not even struggle much. Instead, their gazes revealed a trace of intoxication and confusion.

Compared to martial artists with strong wills, these dire beasts were more easily intoxicated by the dream-like beauty of in the Astral Bubbles.

The beautiful bubbles emitted streaming light and iridescent colors. They might be the most beautiful thing in the world, but they could also entail a lethal threat!

“Collapse!”

Before such beautiful bubbles, Lin Feng’s voice was daunting as perennial ice.
