Chapter 537 - 511: Rank 406

Chapter 537: Chapter 511: Rank 406

The air was filled with the furious roars of Calamity Beasts and the explosive impacts of modern weaponry.

Within moments, the scorched earth was littered with nothing but endless corpses and blood.

Lin Qi watched this scene up close, feeling utterly shaken.

The battle had only been raging for a few short minutes, yet tens of thousands of Calamity Beasts had already been slain.

Beside him, his eldest martial brother, Liang Tai, slowly began to speak.

"Junior Brother!"

"This is just the beginning!"

"The conventional weapons are the first wave. When the Calamity Beasts break through to within one kilometer, that’s when we make our move."

"Besides, we control the Space Gate technology. Once the Space Gate opens, it will be forced to close after one hour."

"If we can kill all the High-Level Calamity Beasts, this Calamity Beast Tide will be mostly over."

Xiao Yu added,

"In that one hour, given the speed at which the Calamity Beasts pour out, the tide will easily number in the millions."

"This time is actually manageable. Sometimes, two or even three Space Gates open simultaneously."

"Too many Calamity Beasts escape, and hunting them all down is a monumental task."

"Many of them even escape into the Primitive Forest."

"All units, move out!"

Just then, a straight, imposing figure appeared, hovering in mid-air.

"It’s the North River Sword King!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone looked up, Lin Qi included.

The North River Sword King was clad in white and blue Battle Armor, floating in the sky with a white-and-blue Gang Power swirling around him.

The scar over his left eye was particularly striking, and his entire being radiated a terrifying Sharpness, like an unsheathed Sharp Sword.

He raised the Blue Battle Sword in his hand and pointed it toward the Space Gate.

"BOOM!"

A terrifying aura erupted from his body. The white-and-blue Gang Power condensed into a Sword Gang and shot forth from the sharp Battle Sword.

The Sword Gang swelled, transforming into a massive blade of energy over ten meters long as it flew.

It descended from the sky like a missile, crashing down heavily on a colossal Giant Ape that stood over fifty meters tall.

That was an Eighth-Level Calamity Beast, a Vajra Ape. Its body was as majestic as a mountain, and it was the highest-level creature among the large Calamity Beasts in this wave.

Even among Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts, it was one of the strongest.

"ROAR!"

It had just leaped out of the Space Gate, only to be met by the massive Ice Sword Gang!

"SQUELCH!"

With a thunderous sound, the Sword Gang sliced through the Vajra Ape’s head, and blood gushed out like a waterfall.

"THUD!"

The Vajra Ape’s massive fifty-meter-plus body crashed to the ground.

"Kill!"

The North River Sword King roared, his voice reaching every single person’s ears.

"Kill!"

Countless Martial Artists charged forward, echoing his cry!

"WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!"

Tens of thousands of Martial Artists surged out at once, like a torrent of water released from a dam.

The High Realm Martial Artists led the charge, clad in Battle Armor and wreathed in Gang Power of various colors.

They were all High-tier, and they condensed and unleashed their Gang Power with ferocious intensity.

Red Flame, flowing water, Thunder, gales, Cold Ice, Sharpness...

"SPLAT!"

They were the first to charge, clashing with the High-Level Calamity Beasts in a chaotic melee.

Following them were the Middle Realm Martial Artists, who were responsible for fighting the Mid-Level Calamity Beasts.

King against king, general against general, soldier against soldier!

Within the crowd, High Realm Martial Artists fought High-Level Calamity Beasts.

Martial Artists of every level methodically chose opponents suited to them.

The two sides were like a pair of giant waves in the ocean, cresting at their highest point before crashing into each other with a howl of wind and a roar of Energy.

"BOOM!"

"SQUELCH!"

In the instant of impact, the thunderous crash was drowned out as blood splattered everywhere.

Lin Qi spotted a familiar figure. Dean Liu was clad in Silver Battle Armor, wielding a Battle Saber and controlling three silver Flying Knives.

The Flying Knives streaked through the air like silver streams of light, shuttling between the Calamity Beasts.

"THWIP! THWIP!"

The Flying Knives instantly pierced the bodies of several Level 6 Calamity Beasts, drawing sprays of blood in what were essentially one-shot kills.

Against Level 5 Calamity Beasts, they pierced through their bodies with ease.

Lin Qi marveled. ’Spiritual Mind Masters are truly weapons of mass destruction in a group battle. Their kill efficiency is just too high.’

’As long as they aren’t engaged in close quarters, they’re practically invincible.’

Besides Dean Liu, there was also his teacher, Mu Hong. He wore Black Battle Armor and moved like a black Gale.

His red Long Spear shot out countless crimson blasts of Spear Gang, like a volley of ten thousand arrows.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Under the assault of the Spear Gang, dozens of Calamity Beasts were struck instantly. The weaker ones were killed on the spot.

Even the stronger ones were grievously wounded.

Many High Realm Martial Artists would first clear out a batch of Mid-Level Calamity Beasts to relieve some of the pressure on the Martial Artists behind them.

"Junior Brother, it’s our turn!"

The powerfully built Liang Tai called out from within the crowd, brandishing a Silver Spear.

"Let’s go!"

Eldest Martial Brother Liang Tai took the lead, charging to the very front.

"Alright!"

The group moved instantly, rushing out. They were so fast that they disappeared into the ruins in the blink of an eye.

The war had begun!

The ground was normal soil, exceptionally firm.

Lin Qi followed behind the other four, not forgetting his purpose.

He was here to learn.

"HROFF... HROFF..."

Just then, a roar came from the distance. It was a pack of several dozen Iron Spike Wild Boars!

They had been lucky enough to evade the sweeping laser fire.

Seeing Lin Qi and his group approaching, they immediately charged.

"Prepare for battle!" Liang Tai shouted.

"Right!"

The others responded.

In the Split Rock Squad, Liang Tai was the captain and Wang Zixuan was the Deputy Captain, their ranks determined by strength.

"STAB!"

Liang Tai struck first. His Long Spear shot out, releasing its Power and piercing through the neck of an Iron Spike Wild Boar.

The others also attacked. They didn’t need to get close; they could kill the Iron Spike Wild Boars from a distance using only their Power.

Seeing this, Lin Qi also made a simple move. He gathered Golden Gang Power in his left hand, condensing ten wisps of it in the air before shooting them out.

"THWIP! THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!"

The ten wisps of Gang Power instantly pierced the heads of the Iron Spike Wild Boars, shattering their brains and sending blood flying!

"THUD! THUD!"

One by one, the Iron Spike Wild Boars fell to the ground.

"Don’t get bogged down!" Liang Tai said.

On Lin Qi’s shoulder, Little Chan projected a screen.

[Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)]

[Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange]

[Merit Points: 0 → 0.1]

[Base Ranking: 406]

[Overall Ranking: 3600]

A First-Level Calamity Beast like an Iron Spike Wild Boar was only worth 0.01 Merit Points. Mid-Level Martial Artists wouldn’t even give them a second glance.

First-Level Calamity Beasts were far too weak for them.

The Merit Points were so low that they weren’t even willing to expend their energy killing them.

Lin Qi was also secretly disdainful. ’0.01 Merit Points is ridiculously low.’

They might not want them, but to the Low-level Martial Artists charging up from behind, they were like precious treasures.

"Haha, Iron Spike Wild Boars! They’re worth 0.01 Merit Points each!"

"Kill a few more and we can eat well tonight."

These were military Martial Artists, or independent ones from society.

After graduating from a Martial Arts University, those who could enter the battlefield were all at the Fourth Realm or above.

Otherwise, for them, going to the battlefield would just be suicide.

Lin Qi’s own father had been in the same situation. He had originally wanted to wait until he broke through to the Fourth Realm before going to the battlefield to hunt.

But disaster struck before he could break through.

"SQUELCH! SQUELCH!"

As time passed, more and more Calamity Beasts charged out of the Space Gate.

A crushing black mass surged from the horizon, crashing toward the War Base like a tidal wave.

Lin Qi’s group of five easily killed a large number of Low-Level Calamity Beasts, but they only managed to scrape together a few Merit Points.
