Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Chapter 80 The Terrifying Effect of Slaughtering Lords

It’s over.

I'm dying.

Wang Kai closed his eyes, preparing to face death.

He was an ordinary sergeant in the Jiangcheng Night Watchmen's unit, a second-tier martial artist.

I served in the army for three years, fought in countless battles, and survived to this day.

But today, he felt his luck had run out.

A massive hammer from a third-tier Celestial Demon race was hurtling towards him. The hammerhead was larger than his head, covered in black scales, and accompanied by a whistling sound.

The difference between a third-order and a second-order is too great.

Can't stop!

Dead!

Wang Kai's mind became unusually clear at that moment. He thought of his parents back in his hometown.

I'm sorry, Dad and Mom!

My son is unfilial; I can't go back.

The sledgehammer is getting closer and closer.

Just as the sledgehammer was about to smash into his head!

"Um?"

Wang Kai sensed something.

A thin, transparent light shield appeared on his body.

The light shield was so thin that it was almost invisible.

The sledgehammer smashed onto the light shield.

"when!"

A loud bang, like a hammer hitting an anvil.

Wang Kai's ears were ringing, but his body remained completely still.

He stared wide-eyed down at the light shield covering his body.

On the light shield, a ripple appeared where the sledgehammer had struck, and then nothing more.

The light shield did not break.

There wasn't even a crack.

"What is this?"

Wang Kai touched his chest in disbelief. The light shield felt like an invisible cushion separating him from the outside world, isolating him from all harm.

He's just a second-tier martial artist, when did he become able to release his qi and blood to form a shield?

The Qi and Blood Shield is an ability that only martial artists of the fourth rank or above are qualified to master.

What makes him, a mere Tier 2 soldier, so special?

Before Wang Kai could figure out the problem, the third-tier Heavenly Demon was also stunned.

Its full-force attack was actually blocked by a second-tier human?

This is impossible!

In the instant it was stunned, Wang Kai moved.

He gripped his battle sword tightly and slashed at the neck of a third-tier Heavenly Demon.

That strike was incredibly fast.

Wang Kai himself was startled.

He usually strikes the knife at a speed of three or four times per second, but this strike was at least twice as fast.

A flash of light appeared.

The head of the third-tier Heavenly Demon flew off, black blood gushing from its neck cavity.

One fatal blow.

Wang Kai stared blankly at the blood-dripping sword in his hand, then looked at the still convulsing corpse on the ground.

"I...I killed a Tier 3 assassin?"

He killed the third-ranked.

A second-tier martial artist killed a third-tier Heavenly Demon with a single strike.

He would never have dared to imagine this before.

"Hahahahaha!"

Wang Kai suddenly burst into laughter.

"I'm incredibly brave!"

"Since I can't die and my attack power has even increased, what am I afraid of!"

"kill!"

He swung his broadsword and charged towards the demons.

……

Wang Kai is not an isolated case.

The same situation is happening in every corner of the battlefield.

A wounded Night's Watch soldier, his left arm severed, was surrounded by three Tier 2 Sky Demons, wielding a knife in one hand.

He thought he was going to die.

But the light shield around him blocked all the attacks, and he cut down all the three-headed demons with a single strike.

A member of the Po Jun squad, critically injured and on the verge of death, had seven or eight wounds on his body, bleeding profusely, and could not even stand steadily.

He lay on the ground, thinking he was going to die.

But after he killed a charging demon, he was surprised to find that his wound was healing.

It doesn't heal slowly; it heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This...how is this possible?"

He got up from the ground and moved his injured arm.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Everything is healed.

"Could killing the Heavenly Demon heal my injuries?" he muttered to himself in disbelief.

……

On the city wall.

Cao Keyuan stood there, panting heavily.

His injuries were severe. His left arm was crippled, he had a deep wound on his chest that exposed bone, five deep claw marks on his back, and at least three broken ribs.

For an ordinary person, such injuries would have killed them long ago.

Even a martial artist at the peak of the fifth rank wouldn't be able to recover without several months of recuperation.

But just now, after he killed several fourth-tier Heavenly Demons, he felt his body undergoing changes.

The wound is healing.

The bone spur is being repositioned.

The bleeding has stopped.

In less than ten minutes, the most severe wounds on his body had scabbed over.

The deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest is now just a faint red mark.

"this……"

Cao Keyuan touched his chest, his expression changing from pain to shock.

What shocked him even more was his brain.

He has been fighting at a high intensity for more than two hours since the start of the battle.

My mental energy was almost completely depleted, my mind was a complete mess, and my reactions were slower than usual.

But now, his mind was as if it had been doused with cold water, and suddenly became clear.

"Director Zhou!" Cao Keyuan turned to look at Director Zhou beside him, "Did you feel it?"

Director Zhou was also shocked.

"I felt it." He looked down at the thin layer of light protecting his body. "This light... blocked the full force of a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon's attack."

"I just withstood an attack from a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon, and it couldn't even break my shield."

Cao Keyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

A fifth-tier Heavenly Demon's full-force attack couldn't even break through the shield.

Their defensive capabilities have increased at least several times.

"Furthermore," Director Zhou continued, "my mental strength is recovering. Not slowly, but rapidly. With each demon I kill, my mental strength recovers significantly."

"My vital energy is also like that," Cao Keyuan said. "After I killed four fourth-tier Heavenly Demons, my vital energy returned to its peak."

The two looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Shocked.

This is not their own strength.

This is because some external force is supporting them.

And there is only one person who can provide this blessing.

"Ye Feng," Cao Keyuan said the name.

"It's Ye Feng." Director Zhou nodded.

……

On the battlefield.

Old Zhang brandished his sword, growing more and more courageous with each battle.

He was over seventy years old. Although his cultivation level was at the peak of the fifth rank, his age was a factor.

After a battle, he needs several days to recover.

This is why he was in such a hurry to break through to the sixth rank.

But now, he feels like he's back to being forty.

No, even more vigorous than at forty.

Each of his strikes carried the force of thunder, and he killed every Heavenly Demon below the fourth rank with a single blow.

A fifth-tier Heavenly Demon will die within three strikes.

The protective aura around him was as thick as a wall; even attacks from a fifth-tier demon couldn't leave a mark on it.

"I feel like I've become more than ten years younger!" Old Zhang shouted as he killed, his voice booming like that of a strong young man. "No, I feel like I'm twenty years younger!"

With a leap, he rushed in front of a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon and cleaved it in two with a single strike.

Black blood splattered all over him, but he didn't care. He wiped his face and continued rushing towards the next head.

"And," Old Zhang suddenly stopped, his expression shifting from excitement to shock, "my bottleneck... has loosened?"

He was at the peak of the fifth rank, and had been stuck at this level for almost ten years.

He thought he would never break through to the sixth rank in his lifetime.

But now, he sensed a crack appearing in that rock-solid bottleneck.

It's not an illusion.

It is true.

"Can killing the Heavenly Demon allow me to break through?" Old Zhang muttered to himself, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"

He charged back into the enemy ranks, fighting even more fiercely.

With each demon killed, the crack in the bottleneck widened.

At this rate, it won't be long before he reaches the threshold of the sixth rank.

"Old Zhang is right!" Director Zhou's voice came from the other side.

"I feel it too! The bottleneck has loosened!"

Director Zhou's cultivation level is also at the peak of the fifth rank, and he has been stuck for several years.

But now, like Elder Zhang, he senses an opportunity for a breakthrough.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The three thousand soldiers, empowered by their bloodthirsty talents, fought with increasing ferocity.

With this almost cheating boost, they unleashed combat power far exceeding their own level.

A second-tier martial artist slays a third-tier Heavenly Demon.

A third-tier warrior takes on a fourth-tier demon race member in a one-on-one fight.

A fourth-tier martial artist chased after a fifth-tier demon and slashed at him.

On the battlefield, the morale of the Night's Watch and the military reached unprecedented heights.

"Brothers! Follow me!"

"Kill all these sons of bitches!"

"Avenge our fallen comrades!"

The shouts of battle were deafening, and blood splattered everywhere.

The Heavenly Demon Clan army was forced to retreat steadily by this sudden counterattack, and their formation began to fall into disarray.

What terrifies them even more is that these humans not only cannot be killed, but they also grow stronger the more they are attacked.

Just a moment ago, it was a second-tier ant, but after killing a few of its companions, its strength increased dramatically.

How can we fight this war?

The Heavenly Demon Clan began to retreat.

It was not a strategic retreat, but a genuine rout.

They were afraid.

These humans are more like devils than they are.
