Chapter 196 - 99: Lord of the Undead, The Death God Sings

On the surface of the sea, the enormous corpses of mutant beasts floated, dyeing the water red.

A thick, bloody stench filled the air.

Countless Deep Sea Beasts had been slaughtered, yet they showed no sign of being frightened away.

From the depths of the sea, waves churned, kicking up spray hundreds of meters high. Enormous mutant beasts continued to charge the island outpost at incredible speeds!

The scent of blood only drove the Deep Sea Beasts into an even greater frenzy.

"How satisfying..."

Watching the Deep Sea Beasts charge, Chen Yu felt a sense of complete satisfaction.

Although no High-level Mutant Beasts had appeared yet, the sheer number of these creatures would add up to a considerable amount of Source of Life.

WHOOSH—!

In a flash of lightning, Chen Yu’s figure vanished.

The next instant, he appeared in the midst of a wave of Deep Sea Beasts.

BOOM!!!

A massive explosion rang out, sending a wave hundreds of meters high surging toward the sky.

Combining strength and speed, his coordination of the Divine Speed Power and Biological Force Field Skills had reached a level of perfection.

Immense power tore through the mutant beasts’ bodies. A hundred-meter-long Deep Sea Beast was annihilated on the spot.

His Source of Life slowly climbed.

A shockwave of Qi pulsed outward, and in an instant, the entire wave of Deep Sea Beasts was slaughtered.

Their corpses drifted on the waves, their blood dyeing the sea red.

Having dealt with that wave, Chen Yu quickly sped off toward another group of Deep Sea Beasts.

...

"We can’t just stand here watching! Let’s kill these bastards!"

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

...

Seeing the vast number of mutant beasts being slain, the various Martial Artists on the island, who had originally been tasked with defense, chose to go on the offensive.

’With a powerhouse backing us up, the advantage is ours!’

Morale soared!

Filled with a powerful will to fight, hundreds of figures charged out from the island.

"We should make our move. If we just keep waiting, I’m afraid Brother Yu will have cleaned up everything."

On the island, An Ran couldn’t help but speak up as she watched the other Martial Artists charge out.

"Alright."

Baili Qing and Zhuang Qi didn’t object, nodding in agreement. Then, the three of them vanished in a flash, also rushing away from the island.

—

’No one is staying behind to defend?’

Having just dealt with a wave of Deep Sea Beasts, Chen Yu was momentarily stunned as he watched the hundreds of figures charging out from the island.

He didn’t dwell on it, however. His Divine Speed Power flared, and he charged toward the other mutant beasts.

’Every little bit counts.’

’I can’t let this Source of Life go to waste.’

—

「Half an hour later.」

On the sea, a vast number of mutant beast corpses floated.

Almost none were intact.

There were well over ten thousand of them!

The stream of Deep Sea Beasts had stopped. For miles in every direction, the sea had been swept clean.

Chen Yu and Dongfang Yao descended from the sky. Not far away, a few Martial Artists watched them, their eyes filled with reverence for the powerful.

’Strength is all that matters.’

’It would have been incredibly difficult to stop this Deep Sea Beast assault without a top-tier expert present.’

’Besides, someone with that kind of power would rarely put in so much effort to kill mutant beasts.’

’But this time, things seemed different.’

’A single person had resolved ninety percent of the crisis.’

’Perhaps he was fighting so hard for a bounty, but he damn well deserved to earn that money.’

’He earned it honorably!’

’There was nothing to be jealous about; it was money earned through pure, unadulterated strength.’

’And in doing so, he indirectly saved countless lives.’

’Otherwise, who knows what the cost would have been? After all, many had already died.’

...

"Brother Yu, you’re way too thorough. I only managed to kill three Level 3 Mutant Beasts."

An Ran stepped forward, giving him a playfully resentful look.

Hearing this, Dongfang Yao couldn’t help but smile. "What, are you short on Spirit Pearls?"

An Ran puffed out her chest. "Of course I am! I’ve always had to provide for myself."

"Brother Yu, you have to leave me some scraps next time. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to latch onto you," An Ran said, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu: "..."

"There are plenty of mutant beasts in the South Sea. More than enough for you to kill," Chen Yu said flatly.

"Chen Yu, where are we heading next?" Zhuang Qi asked.

"Thank you all for your tremendous assistance. I’m the captain of this outpost. On behalf of everyone stationed at Hai City’s Nineteen Islands, thank you."

Just then, a middle-aged man in a military uniform approached them, his eyes filled with respect as he looked at Chen Yu’s group.

"You’re welcome. We’re just clearing out the mutant beasts for everyone’s safety," Dongfang Yao said with a smile.

A smile spread across the uniformed man’s face. He looked at Chen Yu’s group and said, "If we had a few more fighters with your strength, the South Sea wouldn’t be in the state it is today."

Chen Yu’s eyes lit up at these words as he looked at the official.

’I haven’t decided where to go next, but an official stationed here should know more about the situation on the other islands.’

"Of all the outposts, which one is in the most critical condition?" Chen Yu asked.

The uniformed man stared at Chen Yu, stunned.

’Which outpost is in the most critical condition?!’

’Is he asking because... he intends to go and help?!’

The thought flashed through his mind, and the uniformed man’s respect for them deepened.

Just as he was about to speak, his wrist device suddenly vibrated. The man looked down at the message.

"How is this possible!"

The uniformed man’s pupils constricted, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

"Hm?"

Seeing the sudden change in the man’s expression, the group was taken aback.

"What’s wrong?" An Ran couldn’t help but ask.

"A... a beast tide!!" the uniformed man stammered, forcing out the two words.

What?!

A beast tide!

The group was shocked and incredulous. And then there was Chen Yu... who was thrilled.
