Chapter 334: Chapter 213: Miracle Reappears, The Giant Descends (5000 words)_2
"He... he’s about to advance to Unbreakable Realm Four Stars!"
The three of them dared not say more and quickly summoned their Unbreakable Realm subordinates, issuing instructions.
"No matter what, we must hold Yara City, and protect the cultivators inside. Tell them, cowards are not worthy of survival..."
The subordinates, hearing this speech from their boss, widened their eyes in disbelief.
Since when did the chairman develop such conviction?
With the chairman’s usual disposition, shouldn’t he be telling us to pack up and run by now?
There was no time to think further. He hurried off to organize the group’s combat team to prepare for the onslaught of bat monsters.
...
"Buzz..."
The eerie sonic waves lasted only a moment before vanishing into thin air.
After a brief, mind-splitting headache, the humans in the city finally began to recover.
"Screech, screech, screech..."
The next moment, the endless dark cloud suddenly split into clusters of smaller dark clouds, carrying bone-chilling screeches as they floated toward the city.
"That’s... bats, endless swarms of bats!"
"This isn’t good. Get to the safe zone quickly..."
"Idiot! What’s the point of running to a safe zone at a time like this?"
"Exactly! Fight! In a disaster of this scale, even the Yala Group might not hold out. If we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves!"
"Yes, if we stand united, there’s still a sliver of hope!"
"Kill! Even though I’m just a Newborn Eighth Star with these old bones, I’d rather die fighting than get devoured by these disgusting creatures..."
Some were filled with a fighting spirit, ready to resist the monsters to the death, while others were completely paralyzed by fear, only thinking of escape.
And in fact, the latter group made up the majority.
These people typically faced one of two outcomes: they either died first or managed to survive by a stroke of dumb luck.
The precondition for surviving, of course, was that humanity emerged victorious in this battle.
...
"Screech, screech, screech..."
The bloodsucking bats flooded down from the sky. Before they even reached the humans in the city, brilliant bolts of thunderous lightning suddenly erupted in the void, blasting the swarms of bats with streaks of violet electricity.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
In an instant, countless bats plummeted to the ground.
But to these seemingly infinite bats, such losses were utterly insignificant.
"Screech, screech, screech..."
The swarm of bats, now a massive black cloud, continued its dive. A dazzling golden meteor streaked across the sky, shining like the brightest star in the night.
"Boom..."
Wherever the golden meteor passed, tens of thousands of bloodsucking bats were incinerated into ashes by golden energy. Large swathes of bats, caught in the energy shockwaves, fell down to the ground. The ones not fully dead pounced frenziedly onto the crowd, igniting a bloody battle.
"Ah... don’t bite me..."
"Ah... run for your life..."
"Run my ass! Take THIS punch!"
"Bang..."
A hot-tempered middle-aged man smashed a bloodsucking bat to pieces with a single punch. Inspired by his actions, the people around him found newfound courage.
"These bats aren’t that strong. If we work together, we can definitely beat them!"
"Kill..."
"Ah... what’s happening to me?"
A young man touched his arm, which had been clawed by a bloodsucking bat. His veins rapidly turned hideously grotesque, spreading across his entire body. The fear in his eyes was replaced by icy, bloodthirsty madness. His mouth extended, revealing two sharp fangs.
"Roar!!"
In mere seconds, the young man had transformed into a red-eyed, fang-bearing monster, wildly attacking the people nearby.
"Ah, what is this..."
"Not good, it’s a vampire..."
"Ahhhh, no, it’s a zombie..."
"This is horrifying, run for your lives..."
The human mutations and bat monster attacks plunged the entire city into despair.
Amid the chaos of Yara City, flames of war erupted everywhere. Cultivators cast aside their ineffective mechas and battle armor, picking up weapons to fight tooth and claw against the endless bat monsters.
A kaleidoscope of Star Powers exploded in corners of the city. Buildings were stained with black and red blood, and the corpses of humans and bat monsters littered the streets.
As time passed, more and more humans were turned into vampires. Injured Beast Ability Masters suffered genetic collapse, becoming humanoid monsters that destroyed everything they could see.
The entire city had become a Shura Battlefield.
...
High in the sky, in the vortex of black clouds, a gargantuan bat emerged. Its terrifying presence exerted an invisible pressure that made Su Liang and the others shake uncontrollably.
"What a massive monster!"
"No time for chatter. Stall it and try to disrupt the black cloud..."
Su Liang bellowed and pulled out a bottle of Golden Potion, downing it in one go.
This was a Breakthrough Potion refined from Muto’s corpse.
Originally, he had planned to take a proper vacation, adjust to his peak condition, and then use the Breakthrough Potion to reach Unbreakable Realm Four Stars in one go.
But in the face of the current crisis, it was obvious that there was no more time.
Under the immense pressure of the titanic monster, Su Liang had no choice but to drink the Breakthrough Potion, seeking even the slimmest chance at survival.
As the potion coursed through him, Su Liang felt boundless, overwhelming energy surging within him, devoured by his Talent Energy and converted into his own power, trying to break through the limits of his body.
While the energy overflowed, Su Liang let out a fierce roar. A dazzling golden light sprang up beneath his feet, and an immense burst of energy erupted, causing the air itself to shatter.
Golden Right Foot!
"Boom!!!"
Su Liang turned into a blinding golden meteor, launching himself ferociously at the gigantic bat.
"Screech..."
Red light flared in the giant bat’s eyes. With a flap of its wings, the inky black cloud condensed into a massive black meteorite, hurtling toward Su Liang.
"Boom!!"
A deafening explosion echoed across the sky. The golden meteor burst into brilliance, energy radiating in all directions. The black meteorite dissolved back into the black cloud, attempting to envelop the energy-bound Su Liang at its center.
"Now, attack!"
Su Liang shouted at the three others.
A short distance away, the trio exchanged glances and, without hesitation, retreated, flying toward the coastline.
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be wood to burn. Run!"
