The monster roared, and in the direction pointed by the long sword, countless troops charged forward, wielding their slaughter knives towards the panicked crowd.
...
...
Lu Ren, who had just left the gymnasium, had barely warmed his seat when he received an emergency communication call from the Security Bureau.
By the time he got through and heard the news from Shanghai, Lu Ren's expression turned slightly grim.
When he reached the nearest military base fifteen minutes later, Chen Hai had also barely arrived. Not only were the two of them present, but also Lei Li from the Military Department, Chen Changfeng, and a weathered-looking member of the Bright Awakening Martial Taoist Family, Zhang Chang, dressed in a crisp military uniform.
Lu Ren was surprised but did not say much.
The other's life magnetic field was already like a candle flickering in the wind. If it exploded with power again, it could still wield fearsome strength, but it would likely lead to his death.
However, seeing Zhang Chang's calm demeanor, Lu Ren understood that Zhang Chang had already disregarded life and death.
The few exchanged looks, all understanding that this was no time for pleasantries, and orderly boarded the plane.
"This hypersonic aircraft can fly at nearly five Mach in afterburner mode."
After taking off, Lu Ren and the others had to put on headphones to communicate.
Lei Li explained, "This is an experimental model of a hypersonic aircraft. In prolonged peak afterburner mode, it can fly to five Mach, but the engine will explode afterward."
He glanced at his watch.
"It'll take about twenty minutes to reach Shanghai. We'll be flying at low altitudes, and then we just jump down."
Lu Ren and his group listened calmly, but Chen Hai couldn't help but be a bit edgy.
"Jump down?"
Lei Li nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Sect Leader Chen, the parachute is very easy to control. I assume you're not afraid of heights?"
"... Not at all, not at all."
Lu Ren looked at Zhang Chang in front of him and said, "Sir, we've got this. You can provide support for us then."
Zhang Chang shook his head slightly and laughed, "I've fought the little devils, fought the Beautiful Country, fought Ah-San and the monkeys; I don't want to miss this one either."
Though said lightly, Lu Ren and the others held great respect.
Chen Hai sighed, "If this becomes the norm in the future, I wonder where the safe zones will be."
No one else spoke. The future days were feared to be more dangerous.
Wearing a fish scale combat suit, Chen Changfeng said, "I heard the beastmen have broken through there."
As he spoke, he showed the tablet information to everyone.
Lu Ren pinched his chin, "There's still some difference. When I played Shankou Mountain, the beastmen weren't as ugly as this guy."
"Civilian casualties are significant, and the army comes from the Alternate Space. Moreover, it's not just Shanghai; other key cities are also appearing.
Other countries in the world have also detected traces of these creatures, all in major cities."
Lei Li's words were heavy, silencing everyone with a grim mood.
Although Lei Li didn't say it explicitly, Lu Ren understood that monitoring and invading large human cities was undoubtedly premeditated and had been explored beforehand.
In just twenty-five minutes, the exit of the aircraft's rear cabin suddenly opened.
"We've arrived!"
Lu Ren didn't hesitate, getting up while saying, "I'll go down first, hurry and follow up."
As soon as he spoke, Lei Li shouted to wait, but Lu Ren had already leaped down, quickly becoming a black dot.
Lei Li looked blankly at the parachute in his hand.
"We're ten thousand meters up, how will he land?"
Chen Hai couldn't help but say, "If he's truly practiced the Spiritual Dharma Aspect into his body, I think he can manage."
Lu Ren tried to minimize his body's area, letting himself fall rapidly. With sharp vision, he saw some green-skinned monsters chasing some scattered people below.
Some people with decent martial skills were also struggling to resist.
Everywhere, there were human limbs and remains.
Lu Ren kept a calm demeanor, not letting these tragedies shake his mind, while carefully observing the best landing spot.
...
...
Renault snorted, casually throwing aside the human head in his hand. Seeing the woman he had cornered against the wall, trembling while holding her child, his yellow eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty smile.
When the frenzied beastman beside him tried to snatch the woman away, he angrily knocked it fiercely aside, then roared at it. The beastman shivered violently, hurriedly got up, and was about to leave when Renault's great saber, stained with old blood, had already landed on it.
Splitting it in two.
"No, don't!"
The woman held her child tightly.
In somewhat halting human speech, Renault said, "Give me your delicious child, and I'll spare you."
The woman, in response, burst into tears, shook her head, and dared not say another word, just huddled her body, trying to hide her child in the corner and shield it with her body.
Not far away, a special forces officer who had lost a leg saw this scene, and with his eyes wide open, shouted loudly.
"Damn bastard, come at me if you've got guts, fight me one-on-one!!"
He struggled to leap up, raising his gun to shoot at him.
However, the bullets, landing on Renault's skin, only left a faint dent before bouncing to the ground.
Renault turned back impatiently. Though the bullets hadn't breached his defense, they had hurt him.
He took a heavy breath, turned towards the special forces officer, and looked down at him holding onto his ankle, buying time for the woman to escape. He couldn't help but be moved.
"I, Renault of the Giant Mountain Tribe, human warrior, I respect you. Now, I grant you death."
He raised his killing blade and slashed down.
Bang!!
A deafening explosion erupted behind him, giant plumes of smoke engulfing him.
"I, Phoenix Falcon Fist Lu Ren, grant you death."
A cold voice brimmed with intense killing intent.
The commotion behind made Renault halt, and as he turned to look back, a hand emerged from the smoke, pressing firmly onto his face.
The irresistible force smashed him heavily to the ground on the side.
Boom!!
The enormous power left Renault dazed, feeling as if all his bones were shattered by the force.
"Ding, you have injured the beastman Renault."
The system prompt sounded in his mind, and Lu Ren didn't dwell on it. Retracting his wings, he picked up the special forces officer and put him in a safe place. Meeting the officer's shocked gaze, he said, "The troops should be arriving soon."
The sound of gunfire in the distance grew more intense, surely soon eliminating the ordinary green skins in the city.
As for Lu Ren and others, their primary role was to slay the top powerful beastmen.
The special forces officer pointed not far away, "That... that child and woman."
"They're already safe, rest assured."
With that, Lu Ren reached out and gently pressed an acupuncture point on the officer's lower limb, stopping the bleeding from the severed leg.
After settling the officer in place, Lu Ren walked over to Renault, who was struggling to get up, stepped on his face, and drew his longsword, swiftly reducing him to a helpless state.
"Bastard, look me in the eye."
