Chapter 324 - Revival of Bahuang Yao (3)
Chapter 324: Revival of Bahuang Yao (3)
Boom!
With a loud sound, the seawater boiled.
Under extreme anger, the heavily injured crocodile actually used a slide shovel and flew into the sky.
Duang!
It crashed heavily into the sea again, creating a 400-meter-high wave circle.
“Woo woo woo –”
Extending its bloody neck, the crocodile roared into the sky, almost exploding with anger.
Following that, it increased its speed of swimming in all directions. After carefully searching for two rounds, it didn’t find any traces of Chen Yu, so it charged towards the shore with a fierce expression.
“Everyone retreat!”
The Principal of Beijing University became alert. He exploded with energy and was ready for battle.
Mikami Youya’s expression was serious. “It seems to be angry. You retreat as well.”
The Principal: “Alright.”
Nodding his head, the Principal of Beijing University immediately retreated. In the blink of an eye, he ran a few thousand meters away.
Only Mikami Youya was left alone, enduring the blade of a Level 9 beast.
“Woo woo –”
Hearing the crocodile’s roar that was mixed with anger, fury, and indignation, Mikami Youya slowly opened her arms and closed her eyes.
In the next moment.
The retreating martial artists all stopped and turned their heads back in shock.
What kind of vastness was that…
The entire world seemed to be filled with a dense force at this moment!
Everyone felt as if they had entered the alien realm of the Lola Mountain.
Even if they didn’t do anything, their force cultivation would continue to increase along with their breathing.
“How… How is this possible…”
The female assistant’s expression was dull, and she patted her own face in disbelief. “This amount of force…”
“This can’t be her strength alone.” The old woman’s eyes narrowed into slits. “Not to mention that she’s only at Level 9, even if there were ten or even dozens of her, she wouldn’t be able to fill such a vast space with her force.”
“That’s right.” The other Level 8 fighter nodded solemnly. “She must have used some sort of trick…”
As everyone discussed.
Mikami Youya opened her pure white eyes, folded her arms, and formed a strange shape with her hands. The vast, smoke-like strength suddenly expanded!
“Martial Art — Time Delay.”
Fufu…
With a strange buzzing sound, the space behind the Level 9 exotic beast instantly turned light blue!
In that light-blue space, the waves, the flowing air, the crocodile’s body… everything seemed to slow down.
It was as if the broadcast had been slowed down by several times…
Rip!
The time limit of the time-slowing skill was only one-tenth of a second.
But it was precisely this one-tenth of a second that caused the flow of time in the two places to be different, causing the crocodile’s enormous body to be cleanly torn open.
Fresh blood, internal organs, and fat… rolled out and dyed the ocean red.
“Wooo!”
The crocodile raised its head and howled mournfully.
Mikami Youya was frozen on the spot. Both of her arms trembled, and her deep and long breaths calmed the turbulent energy in the surrounding space.
“Let time slow down…” The Principal’s pupils continuously contracted. “The power of gods and ghosts…”
“For Level 9, spatial damage is immune.” The old woman swallowed with difficulty. “It seems that time is more ‘priority’ than space.”
“So this is the power of Level 9.” The female assistant was still in a daze..
After a short scream of pain, the crocodile became more and more furious. Its scarlet eyes flashed with the light of hatred. It once again used a slide shovel and flew high into the sky, aiming at Mikami Youya.
The ‘Time Delay’ martial art seemed to be an R skill. The cooldown time was too long. Mikami Youya did not choose to continue to give the other party a ‘time delay’. Instead, she flew high into the sky and started to fight with the other party barehanded.
One punch and one kick would cause a strange phenomenon in the sky, and strong winds would continuously blow.
Seeing this, the martial artists of Shanghai retreated one after another and pulled away from the battlefield.
At the same time.
At the bottom of the sea.
Chen Yu aimed in one direction, trying his best to shuttle through the mud and sand.
Guyong.
Guyong…
In a short while, he had fled several thousand meters.
“So that’s how it is.”
As he fled, Chen Yu pondered, “After the time limit of that additional hatred curse ends, the originally affected creatures will recover.”
“Mm.”
“Fortunately, I slipped away early…”
Turning his head, he took one last look at the ‘chaotic battlefield’, slightly raised his body, and sped up his escape.
The more he ran, the faster his speed became.
When he felt that the exotic beast would not chase after him, he rushed out of the sea. His legs were as fast as flying as he sprinted on the surface of the sea.
“Xiao Yao.”
Chen Yu lowered his head and touched the backpack that he carried with him. His eyes were bright. “I’m going to resurrect you.”
“Wait for me…”
…
Dong!
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
The sea shook and the mountains shook!
With the last loud bang that could shatter one’s eardrums, the Level 9 exotic beast, the crocodile, fell from the sky and landed solidly on the shore.
It left behind a deep pit.
Plop.
Following that, Mikami Youya jumped to the side of the pit and observed the bottom of the pit with a calm expression.
After a moment, she raised her hand and made an ‘OK’ gesture to the martial artists who were watching the battle from afar.
“…”
…Boom!
After a short silence, the warriors suddenly became excited!
Without waiting for the order from the Principal of Beijing University, they rushed to the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit with excitement.
“Lord… Lord.” The female assistant lay on the side of the pit and carefully observed the motionless crocodile. She raised her head and asked, “Is it… dead?”
“Yes.” Mikami Youya nodded. “It’s dead.”
The martial artists looked at each other, not knowing how to express the strong emotions in their hearts.
This was the first kill of a Level 9 exotic beast in human history!
It could be considered a milestone victory.
“Lord Mikami Youya.” The Principal of Beijing University walked over with steady steps. He was the last to shake Mikami Youya’s hand. “It’s been hard on you.”
“Fighting the exotic beast is the responsibility of every human. There’s no such thing as hard work.”
“Killing a Level 9 exotic beast, whether it is public or private, you deserve the word ‘hard work’.”
“Let’s cut the formalities.” Mikami Youya bowed slightly. “The infighting between two exotic beasts is too strange. I hope your country can bring back this Level 9 corpse for analysis and research.”
“Of course.” The Principal nodded, turned around, and waved his hand. “Men, bring the corpse back to Shanghai. Transfer some people to form a few teams and investigate it properly. Don’t let the sea off either.”
“Yes.” A few warriors stood out from the crowd and nodded in agreement.
…
Shanghai, Office Hall.
After arranging for Mikami Youya, the third-in-command of the Japan nation, and his colleagues to rest, the Principal of Beijing University organized all the higher-ups to hold a meeting before nightfall.
Apart from a group of Level 8 bigwigs, Bahuang Yi was made an exception to attend.
Due to time constraints, before everyone could wash their bodies and change their clothes, they were all covered in dust and blood. They stood upright and quietly looked at the Principal of Beijing University on the podium.
About five minutes later.
After waiting for everyone to gather, the Principal of Beijing University patted the dust on his shoulders and calmly said, “Comrades.”
As soon as he said that, all the martial artists were in high spirits and focused their attention.
“…”
With his eyes wide open, the president was silent. He slowly turned his head and met everyone’s gaze. He said, “Comrades, we… won.”
His tone could not help but tremble when he said the last two words.
After a moment of silence, everyone present hugged each other.
They were very calm.
But in their hearts, they were also crazy.
It was just that when things went too far, they would always go the other way.
Under the intense fluctuations of emotions, people forgot how to vent their emotions…
Without being in it, one would never be able to understand what it meant for humans to defeat the Beast Tide… Especially for warriors.
It was the satisfaction of a businessman’s success, the joy of an artist’s fame, the shock of a condemned prisoner’s rebirth, the glory of a soldier’s victory…
It was the most ‘intense’ spiritual feedback of an intelligent creature.
In the crowd, the female assistant covered her face and wanted to cry, but she could not.
Defeating the Beast Tide…
Was this something worth celebrating?
Squinting her eyes, she was in a trance.
“If Lord Qinghai Li knew all this… It would be great…”
And beside her, Bahuang Yi was as expressionless as ever.
He couldn’t empathize with the crowd due to his lack of emotions.
In his eyes, everyone who hugged each other was like a clown.
But he knew clearly.
In the crowd, he was the only real clown…
Clap clap.
At this moment, Jill walked forward, took off his cowboy hat, and put it on Bahuang Yi’s head. “Kid, do you have any thoughts?”
“…No.”
“Don’t be so cold. To defeat the Beast Tide, you should at least be excited.”
“Gorilla dung.” Bahuang Yi turned around and looked directly at Jill. “It tastes different from human dung, right?”
“…” The smile on Jill’s face froze. “Bahuang Yi, you really aren’t cute at all.”
“I don’t need to be cute.”
Turning his head coldly, Bahuang Yi continued to observe the people in the room.
‘Humans…’
Unknowingly, he silently clenched his fists.
The high-level martial artists present celebrated with each other for a full half an hour before they gradually calmed down.
Bang.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the Principal of Beijing University slapped his hands on the lecture table and swept his gaze across the room. “We won. Although we all know that this victory is entirely based on coincidence.”
“But…” His eyes sparkled. “A victory is a victory. Facts are always better than eloquence. We must seize this opportunity… to rally the entire human race!”
The warriors subconsciously straightened their backs.
Their voices paused slightly, the Principal continued, “I know what some of you are worried about. You are afraid that once the humans gather together, once the Beast Tide arrives, they will be wiped out by the Beast Tide. However, this victory came too late. We have no time to delay.”
“…Stud,” the old woman said faintly.
“Right.” The Principal of Beijing University lowered his body, and a hint of malevolence appeared on his face. “It’s five-card stud. Either we live, or we die together.”
“Then… What should we do now?”
He turned his head and looked at the speaker. The Principal’s gaze was sharp. “Make the arrangements and contact all the national authorities. Tomorrow morning, I want to make a live broadcast.”
“Yes.”
…
Shanghai had won.
The Shanghai authorities had defeated the Beast Tide…
As time passed.
When this news spread through the internet and the media, the entire human world immediately experienced a magnitude-13 earthquake!
Regardless of whether it was the elderly, the weak, women, or children.
When everyone heard this news, their first reaction was that it was absurd.
When they saw the photos, their second reaction was doubt.
When the actual video and reports spread, their third reaction was shock.
Only when the officials of various countries stood up and officially announced this exciting news did people believe that Shanghai had really defeated the Beast Tide.
For a moment, the world shook…
The next day.
Outside the collapsed city wall on the coast.
A global live broadcast was undergoing final preparations and adjustments.
The Principal of Beijing University stood on the ruins and closed his eyes to rest.
“All interfaces have been checked. You can turn on the camera.”
Soon, under the command of a technical supervisor, high-definition cameras were pointed at the Principal of Beijing University.
The reporters surrounding the outer circle also adjusted their facilities and made preparations.
“Sir.” The female assistant standing in the command center pressed the communication button and transmitted her voice to the Principal of Beijing University. “Everything is ready. Shall we start now?”
The Principal of Beijing University closed his eyes and said, “What time is it?”
“Eight minutes to ten.”
“Three more minutes to start.”
“Okay.” Putting down the communication device, the female assistant turned around and shouted, “Everyone pay attention. Three minutes later, the signal will be connected!”
“Yes!”
“Understood.”
“The lights will be on standby. The lights will be switched on at any time.”
“Where’s the radio crew? They’re all gathered at my place…”
Amidst the clamor, the time began to count down.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes…
“Turn on the camera!”
When the time was set to zero, the female assistant suddenly waved the flag.
All the signals were connected in an instant!
The signals from all over the world were connected.
In the next moment.
The television screens of various countries, cities, towns, and families all over the world showed the images of the city walls of Shanghai at the same time.
The city walls were incomplete.
The scene was still a mess.
From the bloodstains and corpses on the ground, the remaining ferocity of the Beast Tide could be clearly seen…
Swoosh!
Suddenly, the Principal of Beijing University opened his eyes.
But he did not say anything. He just quietly stared at the camera.
The audience: “…”
The warriors: “…”
The principal: “…”
Perhaps it was because the Principal of Beijing University was acting too ‘strangely’, the director behind the scenes did not forget to add a sentence to the live broadcast — [Non-static image]
One minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes…
It was not until the time was 10 o’clock sharp that the Principal slowly said, “Greetings, ‘survivors’ from all over the world.”
“Phew…”
The female lead in the command center heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the Principal had spoken.
“We are very lucky to be able to meet the entire human race in a city after the Beast Tide.”
“It’s a pity that we are several decades late to such a moment of victory.”
Taking a deep breath, the Principal’s gaze was blurred. “This is Shanghai. It’s the only city that survived after the Beast Tide.”
“On the ruins of this city’s battlefield, I, on behalf of the entire country, officially announce…”
He slowly opened his arms.
The Principal of Beijing University’s expression trembled. Two streams of turbid tears suddenly rolled down his face as he shouted at the top of his lungs, “We humans!”
“We won!!!”
Boom…
The moment these words were said, it was as if he had touched a switch.
Almost half of the people at the scene burst into tears at the same time.
And everywhere outside of Shanghai was in ‘chaos’.
Some people were in a daze.
Some people were screaming.
Some people were crying.
Some people were hugging…
There were all kinds of expressions.
Different emotions were expressed, expressing the same emotional resonance.
There were even people who were sprawled on the ground and fiercely hit their heads, creating a huge pit on the floor. Then, they buried their faces in the pit and cried out loud.
At this moment, at this scene, there was only one thought lingering in everyone’s mind…
Humans…
Won.
…
At the same time.
In the Australian continent, which was thousands of miles away.
Chen Yu crawled out of the water step by step and stood on the solid ground again.
When he raised his head, his expression changed drastically.
“…F*ck.”
“Where did I run off to?”
