Chapter 50: Human Wave Tactics
In the distance, Su Xiao sat on a metal chair under the Soul Tree, with Oss standing behind him. Su Xiao observed the battle while Oss commanded all the beast cavalry.
Su Xiao hadn't used an alchemical formation to seal the space; that was just a facade. He had used the alchemical formation to create a spatial corridor in the surrounding area. Spatial items and abilities could still be used, but they would be redirected by the corridor, resulting in in-place spatial movement.
Viewed from above, Feishi stood alone on the plain, while all around her, beast cavalry charged in an encirclement.
"My lord commands: kill this person, reward one hundred thousand gold! Appoint as Army Commander!"
"Kill!!"
The soldiers roared with bloodshot eyes, blood-red light clinging to their weapons.
At the center, Feishi looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy was twenty thousand beast cavalry. Facing these elite cavalry, she wasn't afraid. The earth-shaking charge earlier had stunned her for a moment. To be honest, Feishi had experienced many grand scenes, but being besieged by such elite soldiers was a first.
The corner of Feishi's mouth under her hood curled up slightly. It had been a long time since she'd felt this kind of pressure. The last time was when she fought against Huishenshi.
Feishi looked toward Su Xiao's direction, but unfortunately, there were too many soldiers; she couldn't see him. However, she thought slightly higher of Su Xiao. A hunter who could set up such a scene was someone she needed to conserve strength to kill.
Feishi extended both hands outward, and translucent spikes appeared around her. The beast cavalry nearby had already charged close to her.
'Fei: Brutality.'
Boom! Flesh and blood flew everywhere. The soldiers within several dozen meters of Feishi were sent flying backward, their bodies shattered into large chunks of gore.
'Fei: Spread.'
Feishi clenched her fists. The flying flesh and blood suddenly accelerated, piercing through the bodies of beast cavalry further back with greater kinetic energy. The beast cavalry fell in a ring formation.
'Fei: Instant.'
With Feishi at the center, a wave of force spread out. Boom! The soldiers within several hundred meters exploded, including their war beasts beneath them.
Feishi slowly exhaled. With such large-scale casualties among the enemy, the momentum of the charge would pause for a moment. She needed to take this opportunity to recharge and reduce energy consumption.
"Kill her! Avenge our brothers!"
"Hahaha, kill! Chop her to pieces!"
Arrogant and manic laughter came from all around. Feishi frowned, but don't forget, she was a violator from Reincarnation Paradise.
Unless absolutely necessary, Feishi wouldn't reveal her 'true face.' Her current fighting style was both brutal and elegant, but not insane.
'Fei: Inferno.'
A ball of blood flame ignited in Feishi's hand. Within several hundred meters around her, blood flames roared up. The soldiers inside screamed as they were burned to white bones, their flesh fueling the flames even more fiercely.
'Fei: Prison Life.'
The blood flames formed spikes that shot out in all directions. The charging beast cavalry were pierced by the blood flames and fell from their war beasts with a thud.
The reason only twenty thousand soldiers were besieging Feishi was simple: in this kind of siege, the difference between twenty thousand and two hundred thousand wasn't great. The number of soldiers that could simultaneously surround Feishi was limited.
If Feishi had an ultra-large-scale area-kill ability, having all two hundred seventy thousand soldiers charge out would only result in more deaths.
Feishi in the sea of people was like a god of slaughter. No soldier could get within a hundred meters of her. Unfortunately, the female god of slaughter's breathing rate was slightly faster than before.
Feishi naturally knew this couldn't continue. As the saying goes, capture the leader to defeat the bandits. Killing that hunter was the key.
Thinking of this, Feishi stepped forward, charging toward Su Xiao's direction.
"Reverse Charge Formation!"
Oss's roar came. The beast cavalry quickly formed battle formations, charging fearlessly into the blood flames.
"Tch."
Feishi clicked her tongue. She appeared brutal and elegant, but there was some acting involved. This would make more people fear her and help her get things done.
Two long rapier swords appeared in Feishi's hands. These rapiers were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with blood flames rising from them.
Under the charge of the beast cavalry, the blood flames around Feishi dissipated, forcing her into close combat with them.
'Fei: Flowing Ring.'
Zheng~
An irregular ring-shaped slash appeared, carrying a light, wind-like feeling but very sharp.
Several hundred beast cavalry around were cut in two. Some had their upper bodies severed, others their necks. Blood sprayed everywhere.
"Ha!"
A beast cavalryman leaped from his war beast, gripping a battle axe with both hands, and swung it down at Feishi.
Clang.
The long rapier blocked the battle axe. Due to its narrow-top, wide-bottom design, the rapier had strong endurance.
Crackle~
The rapier cut into the battle axe, the edges of the cut turning incandescent red with high heat.
Swish. The rapier sliced through the soldier's head, easily cutting off half his skull.
Feishi lightly exhaled, looking left and right. Everywhere she looked, enemies were charging at her.
After a series of slashes, Feishi crossed her dual rapiers, the blades grinding together.
Boom!
A shockwave spread, blowing the nearby beast cavalry away. Seizing this opportunity, Feishi finally got a moment to catch her breath.
The siege continued. The beast cavalry pressed forward wave after wave. The front soldiers had just died, burned to white bones by the blood flames, eventually shattering into fragments.
A heavy sword slashed across Feishi's forearm, leaving a trail of blood. She was injured. Although the wound healed quickly, it showed she wasn't invincible.
Horns sounded one after another, the roar of battle rising to the sky. Feishi in the sea of people was nearly overwhelmed. Every time she killed for a while, she had to use a large-scale ability to clear the area.
After a full three hours, Feishi, her clothes stained with blood, crouched on the ground. Sweat mixed with blood dripped from her chin.
Around Feishi were large piles of severed limbs and broken arms being burned by blood flames. The charging beast cavalry had been wiped out by Feishi.
"Pant, pant, pant~"
Feishi crouched, gasping for over ten seconds before slowly standing up. She had been nearly exhausted. Fortunately, the hunter in the distance hadn't taken the opportunity to attack. His failure to come kill her was his biggest mistake. Now she had recovered a lot, and it was her turn to kill him.
Feishi flicked the blood off her dual rapiers and looked toward Su Xiao's direction. Unfortunately, she didn't see him.
Rumble...
The gravel on the ground trembled. Feishi looked ahead, her lips parting. Seeing the dense mass of beast cavalry before her, she... really wanted to curse.
"Kill!"
A total of two hundred fifty thousand beast cavalry charged from all around, a pitch-black sea stretching endlessly without a visible end.
Boom! The mud beneath Feishi's feet splattered as she charged straight toward Su Xiao's direction, intending to die together with him.
A wall of heavy tower shields blocked Feishi's path.
Feishi stopped. She released the long rapier in her right hand, and a crystal vial appeared in her hand, containing a pure black stone seal.
Hearing the roars and sounds of breaking wind from all sides, Feishi lowered her head.
"Those three stupid pigs."
Feishi raised her head, her pupils turning light red. She exerted force, and the crystal vial shattered in her hand. More terrifying than a seventh-rank violator were pig teammates.
Actually, it was no wonder Feishi said this. The violator Ju Du had pulled off a series of flashy, stupid moves, to the point where Su Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and specifically returned to Shadu to kill that guy.
Boom!!
An explosion occurred. Feishi had used a mutual destruction method. In an instant, all beast cavalry within a kilometer turned to ash.
Very powerful, but only very powerful. Under absolute numbers and quality, even the strongest seventh-rank violator would die here.
In the blood mist, Feishi spat out a large mouthful of blood. She wasn't dead. The life force she had accumulated from killing so many enemies allowed her to withstand the 'Redemption Seal' she had used for mutual destruction.
Feishi didn't give up resistance. After another half hour of siege, a three-meter-long spear pierced through her abdomen.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
Feishi was pierced through the body by sixteen long spears. The pupils in her eyes trembled, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Ah!!"
Feishi raised her head and screamed, filled with unwillingness. She was about to become the strongest seventh-rank, not just the strongest seventh-rank violator. But thanks to her pig teammates, as soon as she arrived in this world, she was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops. Who could withstand that?
It was fortunate that Feishi had strong willpower. Anyone else would have had a complete mental breakdown.
Not to mention the strongest seventh-rank violator; even the strongest seventh-rank would be arranged clearly and thoroughly. This damn place wasn't something a seventh-rank could handle. Even an eighth-rank would have their head buzzing seeing this formation.
The soldiers used long weapons to pin Feishi to the ground. At that moment, the soldiers who had been clustered together parted to form a passage. All soldiers on both sides of the passage knelt on one knee.
Su Xiao, draped in a black velvet cloak, walked through the passage and stopped in front of Feishi. Feishi struggled to raise her head, finally seeing Su Xiao's appearance clearly.
Su Xiao drew the long blade at his waist. Seeing this, Feishi propped herself up with both hands, using her last strength to sit up. She didn't want to die lying down. The soldiers holding long weapons were inwardly shocked; this kind of strength, they simply couldn't resist.
"I, Feishi, how could I die here..."
Zheng.
A head was severed. Feishi's vision quickly darkened. The strongest seventh-rank violator died here today.
Feishi, slain.
...
Inside a cave within the Kingdom of Peru.
Over a dozen men and women were watching an image on the stone wall. Some were Battle Angels, some were Pioneers. They all looked stunned, the air almost freezing.
The projection on the wall was shared through a soldier. Su Xiao had many soldiers and a large target, so being watched by Battle Angels or Pioneers was normal.
"Feishi... is dead?"
The Pioneer who spoke still couldn't believe it.
"Dead. Someone cut off her head with one slash. She's completely dead."
"Then we can happily explore this world?"
"I suggest leaving as soon as possible. Don't forget, that's a Reincarnation Paradise hunter. A madman from Reincarnation Paradise."
Molei spoke seriously. Hearing her words, the dozen or so people around all nodded in agreement and walked out of the cave.
Molei looked at the projection on the wall. She felt like crying. Others could escape this world, but she couldn't. With the contract, she couldn't go anywhere.
"Let's go, mining. We're still short of the agreed quota."
Smiling Man spoke with a smile on his face.
"And you can still laugh."
Molei resignedly took out a mining shovel. Just as she was about to walk out of the cave, she noticed Smiling Man hadn't moved.
"Feishi is dead too? Sigh~"
Smiling Man sighed. Hearing this, Molei gave an awkward smile. She wouldn't fall into the same trap twice. Her teammate was good in every way except for occasionally liking to show off and pausing dramatically while speaking.
"She's dead. Doesn't that make me the strongest seventh-rank violator? A tall tree catches the wind. This is very bad."
"!"
Molei froze in place. She slowly turned her head, looking at Smiling Man with fear.
"You... are you really Huishenshi?!"
"Of course... not. Seeing you have something on your mind, I thought I'd lighten the mood. Hahahahaha."
A hearty laugh echoed from the cave. Suffice it to say, to have survived this long, Smiling Man's ability to take a beating must be outstanding.
Bang!
A small fist hit the eye. Smiling Man's laughter abruptly stopped. Soon, with a black eye, Smiling Man followed the fuming Molei out of the cave.
