Chapter 1759: One Man Defends the Pass
Under the taunt of the Forgiveness Hat, Jiangnan instantly became the focus of all the spirit beasts on the battlefield!
In front of the stinky-stinky defense line, no beast bothered with those smelly humans anymore; they all charged toward Jiangnan without hesitation!
At this moment, Jiangnan was like a sugar cube dropped into an ant colony!
The Earth Giant Lizard roared and charged at Jiangnan recklessly, crashing through all the spirit beasts blocking its path!
Jiangnan's eyes were icy cold as he hefted the Blood-Drinking Halberd. His body shot forward like a humanoid missile, shattering any spirit beast that stood in his way!
After all, Jiangnan's current physical quality was no weaker than that of a spirit beast!
Just as man and beast were about to clash in close combat, Jiangnan raised his hand and waved!
"Space Wormhole!"
Two pairs of space wormholes, each a hundred meters in diameter, opened in a straight line!
The Earth Giant Lizard charged straight in without a second thought, its body passing through both pairs of wormholes!
"Wormhole Cut!"
The next instant, the wormholes snapped shut. Blood splattered as the Earth Giant Lizard's body was mercilessly and forcibly severed into three sections!
Even a Dao Heaven Beast couldn't escape this fate!
"Boom! Boom!"
Two consecutive explosions rang out as the two severed sections of its body were directly compressed into black pearls by the Void Black Hole!
The giant lizard was completely stunned. In the blink of an eye, all that was left of it was its head?
And what greeted it was Jiangnan's rapidly spinning Rift-Saw Blade, which cleaved directly into its skull!
As the spatial blade spun, even the defenses of a Dao Heaven Beast could be broken through!
He was literally about to split the giant lizard's skull open!
The giant lizard's eyes were filled with terror. Its claws hit the ground, and infinite yellow light surged. Despite only having its head left, its body began to regenerate at an astonishing speed!
The next moment, the earth rumbled. Thick ground spikes erupted from below, each one hundreds or even thousands of meters tall!
They tried to impale Jiangnan to death!
However, Jiangnan instantly opened a space wormhole beneath himself!
The other end opened directly below the giant lizard's vulnerable belly!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Thousands of sharp spikes stabbed the giant lizard itself, turning it into a sieve, piercing it straight through!
I'm stabbing myself?
The creature still tried to use its regeneration technique to recover!
But Jiangnan extended several spatial barriers, cutting off its connection to the earth!
He teleported directly beneath the giant lizard, his body spinning as the Blood-Drinking Halberd thrust upward!
The blade shimmered with a dense, glazed radiance!
"Bang!"
With an explosive sound, the giant lizard's lower jaw was blown apart. Its massive body spun as it was sent flying into the sky!
Jiangnan opened another space wormhole. As the creature's body fell into it, he once again used Wormhole Cut!
He severed it into three sections again, then leaped up with the Rift-Saw Blade in hand!
He slashed wildly along the Earth Giant Lizard's wounds, compressing them further with the Void Black Hole!
Blood splattered everywhere. The Earth Giant Lizard's head was split in two, crashing heavily to the ground!
When it landed, its giant claws were still twitching, but the spirit pearl had already fallen into Jiangnan's hands!
In the distance, Chen Chen and An Ning watched in shock as Jiangnan vivisected the Earth Giant Lizard alive!
∑(°口°#) "Holy crap! A Star Glory Two solo-killing a Dao Heaven-ranked ferocious beast? Is Nan Shen even human? That combo was way too smooth, right?"
An Ning's face was full of disbelief:
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "Nan Shen... can he already fight against Dao Heaven-level existences now?"
She even felt a sense of unreality. The tender young Nan kid they caught back in the classroom, who was clamoring to use the bathroom in the car...
Was he already this powerful now?
Liu Mang grinned: "Basic moves, don't be surprised. Forget Dao Heaven Beasts; Nan Shen has killed real Dao Heaven-level cultivators before, more than one!"
"If my sister-in-law were here, he'd be killing even faster!"
Chen Chen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "What kind of freaks are these people!"
An Ning glared: (งᵒ̌～ᵒ̌)ง "How dare you talk like that, you black ghost? What about our Captain Shan? I think you're..."
Before she could finish, Shan Mao directly smacked a big red lump on An Ning's head!
Shan Mao's face was red as steam, her expression one of shame and anger: "I think you're asking for a beating!"
-`(｡･ˇ皿ˇ･)୨୧ (#☍﹏⁰)୨ Waa~
But there was more than one Dao Heaven Beast on the field. The Steel Needle Hedgehog, transformed into a hundred-meter ball of spikes, charged fiercely at Jiangnan like a meat bullet tank!
Its entire body was wreathed in red light, and it even performed a three-stage acceleration, creating a deafening sonic boom!
The Rift-Saw Blade exploded in place. Jiangnan used the Small Whip's blood-drinking ability to replenish his consumption!
Jiangnan burst out laughing: "Bring it on!"
With a wave of his hand, a dense network of Void Chains shot out!
"Void Chain • Heaven's Net!"
Sixteen chains wove into a net, swooping down to ensnare the rolling Steel Needle Hedgehog!
As the net tightened, the hedgehog was wrapped up tight!
In an instant, the chains in Jiangnan's hands were pulled taut. He grabbed both ends, and his entire body was yanked off the ground!
"Heavy Bone! Stop right there!"
But the hedgehog ball's inertia was terrifying. It dragged Jiangnan across the ground, gouging out a trench!
Half his waist was buried in the earth!
"Ten-Thousand-Jun Curse Array!"
"Boom!"
Jiangnan, already weighing over ten tons, became incredibly massive under the curse array's enhancement, anchoring him like a nail driven into the ground!
The Void Chains snapped taut, and the hedgehog ball came to an abrupt halt!
The next instant, Jiangnan's muscles bulged, blood mist sprayed, and his heartbeat skyrocketed!
With a furious roar, he actually lifted the hundred-meter hedgehog ball and swung it around!
Like throwing a discus, he spun wildly on the battlefield!
Any spirit beast that came into contact was crushed to death. Buildings were shattered, the ground was torn apart. It was as terrifying as a giant meteor hammer!
At this moment, even the citizens of Jiangcheng were shocked!
(☍口⁰) "That... that hedgehog ball, if I'm not mistaken, is a Dao Heaven Beast, right? Nan Shen is using it as a weapon?"
"Holy crap! It's definitely a Dao Heaven Beast! Its size exceeds a hundred meters!"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "Is... is this even human? He's way too strong? By the way, why is there a blurry mosaic on Nan Shen's body? Isn't that ruining our view of his cool moves?"
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) "M... maybe the scene is too bloody, not suitable for children? Afraid it might scare the little ones, so they blurred it?"
Amidst his roar, Jiangnan had already built up enough centrifugal force!
"Void Black Hole • Dimensional Exile! Get lost!"
Three Void Black Holes formed a triangle and erupted simultaneously!
The three thousand-meter black holes they pulled out connected in the center, collapsing into a single giant hole with a diameter exceeding 1,500 meters!
Under the immense centrifugal force, the Steel Needle Hedgehog had no way to resist. With despair in its eyes, Jiangnan flung it straight into the dimensional gap!
With the terrifying suction force erupting, even trying to escape was impossible!
Jiangnan panted heavily, gripping the Blood-Drinking Halberd tightly in both hands!
"Combat Technique • Momentum Gathering!"
"Boom!"
His figure instantly vanished from the spot. The Blood-Drinking Halberd swung out repeatedly. Each swing drew blood, each strike was a fatal blow!
A combat technique was about the simplest, most direct, and fastest way to kill an opponent, ending their life!
It was most suitable for the battlefield. And with each life ended, one's momentum increased, and their killing intent grew heavier!
Jiangnan possessed ultra-high mobility and extremely strong physical qualities!
He wasn't lacking in large-scale lethal spirit techniques either. The Small Whip's blood-drinking ability gave him unlimited stamina!
When his stamina ran low, the Blood-Drinking Halberd could restore it. When his spirit energy was low, he had the Durian Pulp!
To be honest, with Jiangnan's current all-around, no-weakness strength, he could keep fighting like this forever!
An ordinary Star Glory Beast could be killed with a single blow. Even common Dao Heaven Beasts only required a bit more effort!
Unless it was something special like the Four Evils, or some flashy talent technique like elementalization...
...could they pose a threat to Jiangnan!
Otherwise, on the battlefield, he was just rampaging and slaughtering wildly!
At this moment, Jiangnan was a complete meat grinder on the battlefield. He was utterly berserk. Wherever he passed, blood gushed, and severed limbs flew everywhere!
Jiangnan's true terror was on full display!
Under the taunt effect, countless spirit beasts, knowing no fear, charged at Jiangnan, seemingly endless!
And Jiangnan never retreated either. If the grass grew, he would pull it out again!
Now, only one thought remained in Jiangnan's mind: Keep killing! End every single life before him!
Slaughter until the rivers and mountains were dyed red with blood, until the world was clear and bright!
At this moment, the citizens of Jiangcheng were all watching the blood-soaked figure rampaging across the battlefield, unable to look away!
He was truly ferocious!
Nothing could stop that demon-like figure!
The entire semicircular battle line was vast, but Jiangnan's teleportation could cover it all!
Although only one person was guarding the entire line, not a single spirit beast could break through it. Under the Blood-Drinking Halberd, no beast survived!
Jiangnan was slaughtering lives to protect lives!
His entire body was drenched in blood, yet he was protecting the safety of his homeland!
And so, one hour, three hours, eight hours passed!
The slaughter seemed endless!
When the first rays of dawn broke through, when the morning sun pierced the clouds and passed over the nearly thousand-meter-high corpse wall, falling upon the land of Jiangcheng...
No one would ever forget the scene before them, like an epic painting!
After a night of slaughter, beast corpses lay all over the fields, even piling up into a nearly thousand-meter-high wall of beast corpses!
Blood, like a waterfall, flowed through the gaps in the "wall," and the ground was covered with spreading pools of blood!
A plush toy bear was even floating on a blood pool!
No one knew how many spirit beasts Jiangnan had chopped down that night. Even Jiangnan himself couldn't remember!
The sun had just risen, and everyone noticed the figure standing atop the thousand-meter beast corpse wall!
He stood facing the sunrise. The warm sunlight cast an infinitely tall shadow behind him!
Jiangnan laboriously pulled the Blood-Drinking Halberd out of a beast corpse's head!
The blood on it made the halberd's shaft a bit slippery!
Jiangnan's entire body was stained the color of blood. It was hard to tell if it was his own or the beasts'!
It shone brilliantly under the sunlight!
His eyes were bloodshot. The killing intent he had accumulated all night exploded forth, surging forward like rolling waves!
At this moment, the battlefield was deathly silent!
Under Jiangnan's killing intent, the vast, pitch-black sea of beasts dared not take a single step forward. Their eyes were full of fear!
Even though the taunt effect was still active, his killing intent was like that of a demon or a grim reaper, scaring them so much that their courage was almost shattered!
Jiangnan's face was cold as he stepped down from the thousand-meter corpse wall, one step at a time, advancing forward!
Those spirit beasts whimpered like small puppies with their tails stepped on, retreating step by step, always keeping their distance, not daring to come any closer!
Because they could feel it!
One more step forward, and they would die!
At this moment, Shan Mao, Liu Mang, Chen Chen, and the others were all extremely exhausted, tired to the point of exploding!
But they were all deeply shaken by the scene, their scalps tingling!
(ʘ̅△ʘ̅#) "This is truly... 'One man defends the pass, ten thousand cannot open it,' isn't it?"
"One body turns the battle across three thousand miles! One man can stand against a million soldiers! Nan Shen fought all night and never stopped!"
Su Rui looked on in disbelief: "Under the taunt effect, just with his own killing intent, he forced hundreds of thousands of spirit beasts not to dare take a step forward! My god..."
This was a scene she would never have dared to imagine!
But it was happening right before her eyes. One man had held the semicircular line, even piling up the beast corpses into a semicircular thousand-meter wall?
Was this even human? A humanoid meat grinder?
Jiangnan shook the Blood-Drinking Halberd, splattering drops of blood like ink. The killing intent in his eyes grew even more fierce!
"What's the matter? None of you want to come anymore? If you don't come, then I'm coming!"
As he spoke, his steps grew faster and wider. His body shot forward like a blood-colored meteor!
A shocking beast roar came from the distance. It was vaguely visible that a Dao Heaven-ranked Mountain-Cloaking Crocodile was leading a large number of spirit beasts surging towards this side!
This gave the beast tide new courage. One by one, they reddened their eyes and pressed forward towards Jiangnan once again!
The beast tide's assault did not stop with the break of dawn. It continued!
And Jiangnan would not stop swinging his halberd. He would fight until no one dared to charge the city anymore!
Jiangnan didn't know how long the initial wave would last, but he knew that after this battle, the mountains and rivers of Huaxia would surely be stained with blood!
