Chapter 1758: One Man! One City! Go Respond to Everyone's Expectations!
The Small Whip extended, directly stabbing into Li Xiang's body, dense Life Essence transferred over!
His crushed lower half frantically regenerated!
Li Xiang's face was full of shock; he hadn't expected that even in this state, he could still be saved!
Jiang Nan reached out a big hand toward Li Xiang!
Li Xiang's eyes reddened, and the two hands clasped firmly together. His body was pulled up by Jiang Nan in one motion!
But just then, Li Xiang's eyes were full of terror as he urgently said, "Behind you!"
But Jiang Nan didn't even turn his head to look. A three-hundred-meter Rift-Saw Blade formed and swept fiercely toward the beast horde rushing up from behind!
"Shwish!"
The saw blade directly swept horizontally through the beast horde, cutting countless spirit beasts within several thousand meters in half at the waist!
Li Xiang's pupils shrank sharply, his face full of shock!
Jiang Nan... just how strong was he now, how far had he grown?
He had already exceeded the bounds of Li Xiang's understanding!
Jiang Nan said hoarsely, "Take your wife and child and find a safe place to hide. Leave the rest to me!"
As he spoke, he turned back and stepped forward to charge. The Blood-Drinking Halberd was drawn by Jiang Nan and held in his hand.
In this kind of prolonged attrition battle, the Blood-Drinking Halberd was clearly more suitable than the Godslayer Blade!
The halberd blade scraped sparks across the asphalt road as Jiang Nan's body fiercely charged toward the Giant Land Lizard that had smashed the ground.
Li Xiang turned back and hugged his wife and child, hot tears streaming down.
Tian Tian's eyes were full of shock: "Th-That person is?"
Li Xiang's expression was excited: "Jiang Nan! It's Nan Shen! My classmate, I was once his class monitor!"
His words carried an undisguised sense of pride!
The past grudges and youthful arrogance had long since dissipated under the wear of time and the trials of society!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the sky, Void Black Holes opened continuously, tearing out three-thousand-meter gaps, from which infinite suction erupted!
Vast amounts of spirit beasts were directly sucked into the Dimensional Gap and vanished!
Rare blank spots appeared in the pitch-black beast horde!
Jiang Nan shouted loudly, "Citizens of Jiangcheng! Protect yourselves! Calamity is before us, but human determination will prevail!"
"The sun will still rise tomorrow. Do your best to survive, then bathe in the morning light to welcome the future! Do you all hear me clearly!"
The rolling sound waves echoed through Jiangcheng, heard clearly even on the war-torn battlefield!
At this moment, everyone looked up to the sky and saw the tiny figure amidst the countless beasts!
It was Jiang Nan!
It was Nan Shen!
In the next instant, everyone's faces flushed red with excitement, their eyes full of elation. The fear and confusion suppressed in their hearts were released as roars at this moment!
The cheers of millions of people soared straight into the sky!
Even though everyone was still in danger, still facing the threat of the overwhelming beast tide!
Everyone still cheered!
Because Jiang Nan had returned! His appearance represented hope! The future!
Because there was nothing in this world that Nan Shen couldn't accomplish!
Although it was just a figure, insignificant, it made everyone's hearts settle down!
٩(#•̀口•́#)۶ "Ahhh! Nan Shen! It's Nan Shen! He came back to defend the city! We're saved!"
(งᵒ̌ᗜᵒ̌)ง "I knew we wouldn't be abandoned. This is Jiang Nan's hometown. This is where he came from!"
(◦˙ᗜ˙◦) "Hahaha! Long live my great Nan Shen! I've bought his Dali and chives!"
٩(ˊ口ˋ#)و "To hell with the beast tide! Nan Shen, kill these bastards! Come on, come on, come on!"
At this moment, the citizens of Jiangcheng raised their arms and cheered. Someone shouted first, and then the crowd began to chant one after another!
"Nan Shen! Nan Shen! Nan Shen!"
Wave after wave, louder and louder, making people's scalps tingle and blood surge!
At this moment, Chen Chen in the beast horde laughed heartily:
(#˃̶ᗜ˂̶) "I told you! As long as you hold on, a miracle will happen!"
"Nan Shen is the damn miracle!"
The excited Chen Chen pulled An Ning over and gave her several deep kisses!
"I've definitely got this girlfriend now!"
An Ning's eyes were also full of admiration as she looked at the handsome back in the sky!
(ʃƪ꒪ͦᴗ꒪ͦ) "Uh... is it too late to change my mind? He's way more handsome than you!"
Chen Chen: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄…
Su Rui covered her little mouth, tears streaming down her face!
(#ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ლᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)
What kind of power did Nan Shen have that, as soon as he arrived, he could rekindle hope in the people who were in dire straits?
They cheered and rejoiced!
He was no longer just a person, but a symbol, a faith!
Even Liu Mang and Mountain Cat felt their scalps tingle hearing the waves of cheers!
This popularity was ridiculously high!
Little did they know, the name Jiang Nan held special meaning for Jiangcheng. There wasn't a single person who didn't know him!
Whenever Jiang Nan appeared in the news or on TV, the people of Jiangcheng couldn't help but smile!
Because he had walked out of Jiangcheng. He was the pride in every Jiangcheng citizen's heart!
In the crowd, Aunt Zhou, with graying temples, was already in tears!
She held her old friend's hand, her voice trembling!
"Xiao Nan! It's Xiao Nan! He came back to defend the city, to protect everyone! He rented a house from me for several years. I watched him grow up!"
Her words were full of pride. Her daughter was probably fighting somewhere to protect everyone too, right?
Even the spirit beasts were dumbfounded. Were these humans crazy?
They were about to be eaten and they were still happy? What were they shouting about?
But they had no idea what kind of existence they were about to face!
Jiang Nan's heart surged as he listened to the waves of cheers!
His blood was boiling, as if boundless power was surging within his body. He was burning all over!
One man! Defending one city!
What was there that couldn't be done?
The most wonderful thing in life was being expected by people!
So just go all out and respond to everyone's expectations!
Kill all the beasts in the tide! Defend Jiangcheng!
A six-hundred-meter Air-Slashing Blade formed and was unleashed with full force. Countless spirit beasts fell like wheat being reaped!
But the situation was still far from optimistic!
A large number of citizens were concentrated in the city center, which meant the defensive front line had to be a giant circle with 360-degree coverage!
How big was a city center?
Even with Jiang Nan's terrifying mobility, one person couldn't handle the entire city!
His gaze instantly fell on the Pupil Race!
A One-Eyed Species at the Yuzu Rank who seemed to be the leader immediately clasped his fists!
(#ಠ) "Little Pomelo greets the King of Kings!"
Jiang Nan: ???
King of Kings? What the hell? How did Little Walnut train his subordinates?
He was the One-Eyed King, and I become the King of Kings?
Jiang Nan directly tossed over hundreds of barrels of Dali!
"Don't worry about energy issues! Go defend the northern sector. Don't let a single spirit beast past. Blast them hard!"
"Chen Chen! An Ning! Take your people and follow the Cat Squad! Go defend the eastern sector!"
Chen Chen and An Ning were both excited, their faces red:
∠(｀皿´#) "Yes! Marshal Jiang!"
Mountain Cat quickly asked, "What about the remaining two sectors?"
Jiang Nan's expression turned fierce: "I'll handle them alone!"
At this moment, everyone stared at Jiang Nan in shock!
He wanted to defend an entire half-circle by himself?
Could that work?
But Mountain Cat knew that Jiang Nan would never force things like this!
"Obey orders! Charge with me!"
Then Jiang Nan's gaze fell directly on Liu Mang!
"Get your Hooligan Army out. Play dirty and cover the entire city with golden armor!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a mountain of Diamond Giant Durians suddenly appeared!
Liu Mang shuddered, his eyes full of terror!
Σ●
This is really dirty! He could already picture it!
You want me to turn into a hooligan rabbit, don't you?
But he didn't dare delay. Infinite colorful light burst forth as the Black Ghost Liu Mang suddenly split into hundreds!
Each one carried a pile of Diamond Giant Durians and rushed out, throwing durians around the center of Jiangcheng!
The extremely foul hellish wind wafted out, forming a Stinky Defense Line!
This prevented the spirit beasts from easily charging into the city center to kill indiscriminately, though it couldn't stop some beasts that liked to eat smelly things!
But overall, having something was better than nothing!
Defending a city wasn't just about mindless slaughter. It also required plans and strategies!
Otherwise, no matter how many spirit beasts were killed, what use was it if all the people died?
Jiang Nan had barely entered the fray when the previously collapsed defense line was reestablished!
On the north side, hundreds of One-Eyed Species drank Dali and turned into Muscle Devils!
Brilliant light radiated from their heads. They were now self-sufficient. Energy was no longer a problem at all!
Star Pupil Cannons fired wildly as they held the northern line.
On the east line, Mountain Cat and her team were holding!
At this moment, Jiang Nan was alone defending the entire semicircular defense line. He had already used a mental link with Liu Mang to share vision!
All the dynamics of the battlefield were clearly projected into Jiang Nan's mind. He constantly kept track of the situation!
Then, Jiang Nan, wielding the Blood-Drinking Halberd, went completely berserk!
His figure was like a leaping blood-red lightning bolt, flickering incessantly over half the battlefield!
Wherever he passed, space collapsed into black holes. Two Rift-Saw Blades connected by Void Chains were swung by Jiang Nan, slicing around the battlefield again and again!
It seemed nothing could stop the cutting of the angle grinder!
But there were too many spirit beasts. Jiang Nan had never seen so many in his life!
They seemed inexhaustible. And on this side of the defense line, there was ultimately only Jiang Nan. No matter how fast he moved, he couldn't cover everything!
Just then, the ground suddenly lifted up, forming two half-circles that pressed down violently toward Jiang Nan!
"Boom!"
The earth suddenly closed, shaking incessantly!
But Jiang Nan had already displaced himself out. As for the spirit beasts displaced inside, their fate went without saying!
The Giant Land Lizard's eyes were bloodshot, its gaze fixed on Jiang Nan with fury. Its massive body charged this way!
Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes, his killing intent surging!
"Liu Mang! Censor me out. Remove me from everyone's sight!"
Liu Mang was startled. What was Nan Shen planning?
Jiang Nan directly pulled out a Forgiveness Hat and put it on, took it off, pulled the grass, the movements smooth and fluid!
In that instant, Jiang Nan became the public enemy of all beasts!
Jiang Nan licked his blood-red lips. "Dao Heaven Beasts are much easier to kill than human Dao Heavens!"
"Let me see what tricks you have. Enough to add another Dao Heaven Skill for Xiong Er?"
Even without Da Lang Mie and Xuexue by his side, facing a Dao Heaven Beast, Jiang Nan was still fearless!
So what if it was Dao Heaven? It wasn't like he hadn't killed one before!
