# Chapter 1049: We Will Definitely Get Through This! (Bonus Update)
The two spatial gates at the crossroads were still continuously spewing out spirit beasts!
As if endless!
Wu Liang charged forward with a Savage Rush, detonating three consecutive nuclear explosions!
The broken limbs of spirit beasts bloomed like fireworks!
But the blasted beasts were immediately pulled back by Wu Liang's Defiant Pull!
Forcing the beast horde at the spatial gates to be contained within a three-kilometer range!
Xia Yao's Nine Star Flash combined with her Steel Claws, turning her into a silver lightning bolt, constantly weaving through the beast horde!
Hunting down high-level leaders among the beasts, causing chaos in the horde!
Xiong Er pressed both hands to the ground in the distance, a yellow-brown light surging forth!
Thick earth walls rose from the ground one after another, creating obstacles for the beast horde's expansion!
Even if it could only hold them back for a moment, that was still good!
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue was like a Flame Queen, her entire body burning with rolling flames!
She stood right at the street intersection, the asphalt beneath her feet already melted into magma!
Nine-Headed Phoenix fully activated, black fireballs over thirty meters in diameter rained down like falling raindrops, producing ear-splitting booming sounds!
Any spirit beast that tried to charge through was completely blasted into charcoal!
Meanwhile, Xiao Jiuwo flew high in the sky on reconnaissance. Any time a beast broke through the line of defense, it would immediately drop a Grand Flaming Sun!
Blasting it to pieces!
Jiangnan, clad in Glazed Armor and wielding the Blood-Drinking Halberd, charged into the beast horde like a sharp sword!
The blood-red blade light bent several times within the beast horde, slitting the throats of over a dozen spirit beasts along the way!
Void Black Holes continuously appeared around him, their powerful suction compressing many spirit beasts into Black Pearls!
Jiangnan grabbed one in his hand, spun around, and hurled it back with violent force!
"Boom!"
A piercing sonic boom came, as the terrifyingly massive Black Pearl shot through the body of a Fire Lion, sending it flying, crashing into three yaks!
The spirit beasts were so dense that even closing your eyes and randomly using a spiritual art would hit something!
Jiangnan used Teleportation to wander through the beast horde, specifically targeting the Diamond-grade spirit beasts mixed in among them!
Lightening the burden for Wu Liang and Zhong Yingxue!
"Nuclear Explosion!"
"Boom!"
Wu Liang erupted again, red energy blasting forth. In less than a minute, the ground was already littered with corpses!
Wu Liang was covered in wounds, looking like a blood-soaked gourd!
He leaned on his knees, gasping for air!
"Recovery!"
Mila waved her small hand, and a white pillar of light struck Wu Liang, restoring his injuries in an instant!
Wu Liang's eyes lit up, and with a wild roar, he punched and flattened the head of a Three-Headed Hellhound!
But it still wouldn't die! Wu Liang grabbed its two remaining heads and tore them apart!
Blood splattered everywhere as he ripped the beast in two!
"Nan Ge! Recovery can restore cell nuclear energy! Use it freely, don't hold back!"
Jiangnan's expression was one of excitement. Since this was a war of attrition, Jiangnan didn't dare use Nuclear Milk too liberally—he needed to maintain combat strength at all times!
But he hadn't expected Mila's Recovery to be capable of this as well!
This way, they could sustain the team's endurance, and fight with fewer restraints!
He tossed a crate of Nuclear Milk to Wu Liang, but in that moment of distraction!
Jiangnan was sent flying by a Diamond-level Lightning Leopard's tail whip!
He spun through the air, crashing heavily into the earth wall Xiong Er had set up, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
Mila's Recovery pillar struck him the very next second!
Little Mila stood on Xiong Er's shoulder, looking completely serious!
"Fight as you will! I am your strongest support!"
Jiangnan grinned, downing a bottle of Fake Alcohol and Nuclear Milk!
His entire body glowed with red light as he teleported straight into the beast horde!
"Six-Strike Nuclear Explosion!"
In an instant, six detonation points exploded one after another within the beast horde, rolling waves of heat spreading everywhere!
Jiangnan's legs went weak, but before he could fall, Mila's Recovery pillar had already arrived!
Jiangnan threw his head back and downed another bottle, then turned and let out a Nuclear Sneeze at an Iron Wire Python that was lunging at him with its jaws wide open!
"Ah-choo!"
"Boom!"
With a single blast, the Iron Wire Python's head exploded!
An Jie and the others were wide-eyed, their scalps tingling as they watched this scene!
These people were monsters, weren't they?
Only Platinum level, yet their combat power was terrifying!
First, there was the nine-barreled mobile cannon with devastating firepower, and the big bear who could hold back half the beast horde!
Now, a sneeze killed a Platinum-level spirit beast?
This was just too explosive!
An Jie had initially thought that reinforcements had arrived, but it turned out there were only seven of them?
Yet these seven managed to hold back the beast tides from two Platinum-level spirit ruins!
What kind of god-tier team was this?
"Haha! Brother An! It's Nan Shen! Nan Shen! He fought his way back from the Western Frontier to save us!"
"We're the farthest—we came from Qing City! There must be people holding the line at Huang City, Chang City, and others!"
An Jie was thrilled, chills running from his spine to his head!
"Good! Good! Good! That's wonderful! Brothers, charge with me!"
Jiangnan turned back and tore a giant crocodile in two, shouting at the top of his lungs!
"Don't hold too hard! Your lives matter too! Fall back to the edge of the battlefield!"
"Split half of your forces to set up a second line of defense around the battlefield. This is only the beginning—some beasts will inevitably break through. Leave that to you!"
"Absolutely do not let any spirit beasts leave the city center! The other half, go guard the Golden-level spirit ruin ten thousand meters away!"
"Xuexue, Xiong Er—go block the gate! Pin them down! That ruin still has 328 seconds before it opens! Move!"
Even in the midst of battle, Jiangnan's commands, nearly shouted, were clearly conveyed!
A Golden-level spirit ruin—with Zhong Yingxue's firepower, she could handle it alone!
An Jie didn't hesitate and immediately followed Jiangnan's arrangements!
He set up a second line of defense and led his people to guard the Golden-level spirit ruin ten thousand meters away!
Zhong Yingxue jumped onto Xiong Er's shoulder, and the two of them charged straight toward the street intersection!
Meanwhile, Xiao Jiuwo swooped down, grabbing Mila in its mouth and placing her on its back!
From a high altitude, it kept an eye on the battlefield situation, providing timely support!
And everything happening in the city center was being clearly captured by over a dozen drones flying in!
Some from the media, others personal! The videos were going viral online!
Some were even plastered directly on the front page! Not just Qing City, but also Huang City, Chang City, and others!
All were videos of the Dragon Abyss and Dark Night forces fighting against the spirit calamity! Among them, Qing Province's were the hottest, because they faced overwhelming odds with few fighters, making the battle especially intense!
And Qing City attracted the most attention!
Because only seven people came, including Nan Shen!
Just seven people held back the beast tides from two Platinum-level spirit ruins!
At this moment, the underground shelter was packed with people. Helpless citizens could only scroll through their phones, checking updates from various sources for psychological comfort!
Everyone was watching the situation in their own city!
In a corner of the shelter were students from Qinghai Spirit Martial University who had come to take refuge!
Even from this distance, they could still feel the tremors coming from the surface!
Many students were watching the drone footage, nervous sweat forming in their palms!
Li Muyan was among them. After graduating from Jiangcheng No.1 High School, she had come to Qinghai to attend university!
She never expected to encounter something like this!
A few young girls were staring intently at the video, while Li Muyan's gaze was fixed on the man in Glazed Armor wielding the blood-red halberd!
In the video, explosions and flames were everywhere!
Beast corpses littered the ground, even covering the streets!
Jiangnan and his team were fighting desperately, no Platinum-level spirit beast able to face Jiangnan head-on!
Even Diamonds only took a few more hits!
Their bodies were already stained with blood—both the beasts' and their own!
Even through the screen, people could feel the suffocating pressure brought by the beast tide!
But those seven stood at the very front, firmly suppressing the beast tide!
Yet even with Jiangnan's reaction speed, he couldn't block every attack coming from all directions!
Scratched, bitten, gored by horns, flung away mercilessly!
Every time he fell, Jiangnan would immediately stand up, roar loudly, and charge back with even more ferocity!
"Hiss... Is Nan Shen's body made of iron? Doesn't he feel pain? I can't watch anymore!"
"I knew it! I knew he would come! Every single time, he's at the very front!"
"He's fighting so hard! My hands are shaking! If these beasts break out of the city center, it's all over!"
"So they're risking their lives! Nan Shen isn't fighting for himself—he's fighting for us!"
Li Muyan's eyes were red, and she rubbed her nose. "Come on, Jiangnan Ge!"
A girl next to her suddenly remembered: "Muyan Jie, you went to Jiangcheng No.1 High School, right? I remember Nan Shen also—"
Li Muyan rubbed her eyes. "I... Jiangnan and I were high school classmates. Back then, I sat in front of him. In class, I always pushed his desk around..."
A few young girls' eyes immediately lit up!
"Really? What was Nan Shen like in high school? Tell us, please!"
"Wow! Sitting in front of Nan Shen? That's so lucky!"
Li Muyan's eyes darkened as she remembered the stupid things she had done before, feeling a pain in her heart!
The Jiangnan who was once her classmate had now grown to this level!
Every time she got news of him, Li Muyan was genuinely happy for him!
She used to really dislike Jiangnan, but now he made her feel incredibly proud!
And now, he was fighting to the death at the center of Qing City to resist the spirit calamity!
Li Muyan's heart was clenched!
Suddenly, someone blurted out: "If you were classmates with Muyan Jie, then he's only 22?"
Many students' scalps tingled! At this age, most people should be enjoying university life on campus!
Yet Jiangnan was fighting to the death to protect Qing City, while his peers could only hide in shelters as the protected ones!
For a moment, no one knew what to feel!
"Oh no! Look! A lot of beasts are breaking through! Thank goodness the soldiers have a second line of defense!"
"Can Nan Shen and his team hold on? It's too much of a stretch! There are too many spirit beasts!"
"Nan... Nan Shen won't die here, will he? If they can't hold..."
In an instant, the shelter was filled with even more fear!
Li Muyan suddenly stood up, eyes red, fists clenched tightly. "No! Nan Shen won't die! They'll definitely make it! Come on!"
The entire shelter fell silent for a moment, everyone staring at Li Muyan in shock!
The girls next to her kept tugging at her sleeve, signaling her to sit down!
But just then, a burly man suddenly roared!
"Come on! Crush those beasts! Nan Shen! Come on!"
With that shout, more and more people in the shelter began to roar along!
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
Their shouts even drowned out the rumbling coming from the surface!
Cheering for Jiangnan and his team, and cheering for themselves too!
They would definitely! Definitely get through this!
