Chapter 358 - Critical Moment!
Chapter 358: Critical Moment!
Lin Feng retracted his body. The two sea beasts had already arrived.
Looking at the little life core fragment left, their expressions were very dark. Lin Feng was also a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said, “I’m preparing to leave. Please take me to bid farewell to His Majesty the Sea Emperor.”
The two sea beasts said coldly, “There’s no need. His Majesty the Sea Emperor is already asleep. Before he fell asleep, he instructed us that you can leave at any time you wish.”
“That’s…”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, then said loudly to the Sea Emperor Palace, “Lin Feng will remember Your Majesty’s kindness. I will repay you in the future!”
With that, he left the Sea Emperor Palace.
“Longbetham, how long has it been since I entered the bottom of the sea?”
“One month and nine days!”
Lin Feng was shocked. The duration he had agreed on with the Sages had already been exceeded by nine days. The Sages must be very worried as well. However, he was in the Sea Emperor Palace, absorbing the life core fragment and almost being assimilated by the Leviathan’s memories. There was no way for him to wake up in advance.
Hence, Lin Feng sped up.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng flew out of the Dead Sea of Abyss. He looked towards the shore, but did not find any Sages.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Feng’s expression gradually became solemn. He knew that even if he did not return for a month, the Sages would not all leave. At least some of them would have stayed and waited for him.
Why was there not a single Sage now?
However, with a sweep of his mental power, Lin Feng discovered a communicator on the shore.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng flew over and picked up the communicator.
There was also a message on the communicator.
Lin Feng read it carefully, but his gaze became colder and colder.
“Maple Leaf City!”
Lin Feng never expected that humanity would encounter such a major matter in just over a month after he left. According to the message, humanity was even in danger of being annihilated.
This was no Behemoth of Armageddon. How could mere parasites incur such heavy losses to humanity?
Boom.
Lin Feng flew swiftly into the sky. According to the message on his communicator, an airship had been left for him not far away. He had to rush to Maple Leaf City as soon as possible.
…
“Slash!”
Sage Kang and the Invincible Fist Sage both flew towards the broodmother in a frenzy. They wanted to stop the broodmother.
Countless tentacles wrapped around Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass. The Invincible Fist Sage continued to unleash Astral martial techniques like a madman, slashing at the broodmother’s tentacles.
Thump.
Finally, the tentacles on Sage Bingyu’s body were severed by the Invincible Fist Sage. The broodmother roared angrily, and then, thousands of tentacles lashed in all directions wildly.
The Sages could only keep retreating, while Sage Cass was densely surrounded by tentacles. His body was covered in tentacles as he was sent flying rapidly towards the broodmother’s maw.
“This day would come sooner or later…”
Sage Cass, on the other hand, appeared very calm. His gaze swept across the Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Bingyu, and infinite longing appeared in his eyes.
He was a dignified Sage of high status, the Dean of the Sanctuary Academy. How could he want to die? He also had the longing for life, but at this moment, he was helpless.
As a Sage, he had to step forward courageously.
“Goodbye, everyone…”
A smile appeared on Sage Cass’s lips. Then, a large amount of star power suddenly poured down from the sky, as if the entire sky had suddenly gone dark.
“No, no…”
The Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Bingyu were the most agitated. As Sages from the academic faction, the three Sages had a good relationship. They had supported each other to this point.
But now, Sage Cass was going to die, and he was going to die in front of them. Yet there was nothing they could do.
For a moment, even the usually cold Sage Bingyu could not help but weep.
Boom.
As a large amount of star power poured down, Sage Cass detonated the Astral Force Field. Immediately, a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions.
The Sages could still resist, but the surrounding parasites fell in droves, reduced to ashes by the terrifying shockwave.
The broodmother was struck by the self-destruct Astral Force Field of a Sage again. It appeared very furious. Even though it was also in a very sorry state, a Sage’s self-destruct Astral Force Field could not cause fatal damage to the broodmother.
“Kill!”
The Invincible Fist Sage shouted. He was filled with monstrous killing intent now, but he was very calm, even terrifyingly so.
All they could do was stall for time, and keep stalling.
Hence, the remaining six Sages were all very calm. They did not take the initiative to provoke the broodmother, but took care to deal with the ordinary parasites, preventing them from approaching Maple Leaf City any further.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, a few hours had passed. The broodmother was abnormally furious. It tried to trap and kill a Sage madly, but every Sage became very prudent. Once someone was entangled by the tentacles, another Sage would quickly come to their rescue.
Even though there was also danger, the six Sages were all unharmed.
The broodmother went berserk. It suddenly abandoned the six Sages, and advanced straight towards Maple Leaf City.
Rumble.
The huge cannons on Maple Leaf City bombarded the broodmother wildly, but it was useless. They could not injure the broodmother at all.
Moreover, the broodmother was still approaching step by step.
As for the city walls?
Forget about the broodmother, they could not even resist ordinary parasites.
“Retreat! Retreat now!”
Zhang Qiji grabbed Qu Chen and retreated in a frenzy, ignoring what Qu Chen was thinking.
The massive body of the broodmother paid no heed to what was ahead at all. It just crushed everything directly.
Immediately, the city wall collapsed. The massive body of the broodmother crushed countless martial artists in Maple Leaf City. As long as it wreaked havoc in Maple Leaf City, it would deal a huge blow to humanity.
“Damn it!”
The six Sages’ faces were ashen. They could kill those ordinary parasites at will, but those ordinary parasites were only cannon fodder.
Even if all of them died, the broodmother could quickly produce more.
As for humans?
If they allowed the broodmother to keep wreaking havoc like this, humanity would suffer heavy losses. Humanity could not afford a war of attrition either!
“Stop the broodmother!”
Sage Kang gritted his teeth. They had no choice but to stop the broodmother with all their might.
Hence, the six Sages went forward to harass the broodmother again, trying to stop it. However, this time, the broodmother seemed determined to turn the Maple Leaf City into dust. Its massive body crushed everything in its path, and innumerable tall buildings collapsed.
Countless martial artists were crying and running for their lives, but what was the use? No one could escape from the broodmother that was five kilometers long.
Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji were no exception. The two of them could only watch helplessly as the broodmother approached. It did not even notice them.
“Sister-in-law, you can’t die! If you die, I won’t be able to answer to Brother Feng!”
Zhang Qiji gritted his teeth and turned around to run. He held his energy weapon and fired wildly at the broodmother.
Boom.
The broodmother looked at the “tiny insect” under it. If anyone dared to resist, its massive body would crush them directly.
There was fear and panic on Zhang Qiji’s face, but at this moment, he could only smile wanly.
“Tell Brother Feng that he must avenge me, haha…”
Zhang Qiji laughed maniacally.
“Qiji…”
Qu Chen bit her lip. She felt so helpless at this moment.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, an airship appeared in the distant sky. It arrived at Maple Leaf City in the blink of an eye.
“Broodmother, die!”
A familiar voice sounded in the sky.
At the same time, a figure flew down from the airship. Its body grew in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a mountain-like giant.
The giant took a huge step forward. Like a dark cloud, it descended from the sky. It was a dark mass that carried infinite power as it stomped towards the broodmother.
