Chapter 70: Incoming

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

All men fear death. Feng Xiu was no exception. When he was struck by the tentacles of the dire beasts, he felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart. He was sent flying before landing heavily on the ground.

During his days back in the Myriad Academy, he had been so high and mighty. He was flanked by people everywhere he went, and simply insufferably arrogant.

That was until he met Lin Feng, got ruthlessly defeated, and had his self-confidence completely shattered. He even had to accompany Lin Feng to the dangerous frontline.

Eventually, he came to the frontline, but there, he felt as if he had been reborn as a new person. If not for the experience of fighting at the frontline, he would never understand the true meaning of being a martial artist.

Before coming to the frontline, he had never even killed anyone, much less experienced such gruesome battles. He did not understand the significance of martial artists. If he had continued staying in the Myriad Academy, when the 5-year deadline arrived, he would decidedly be unable to break the

genetic lock, and could only end up leaving Myriad Academy in dejection.

Perhaps he would take over the family business and be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.

However, everything was different now. He wanted to become a martial artist, and furthermore, to break the genetic lock. In the depths of his heart and soul, his ambition was to be a powerful martial artist, after all.

He was very grateful towards Lin Feng, but at this moment, he was about to die. Being torn into pieces or devoured by the fleshworm dire beasts might just be his fate as a martial artist.

‘The savage and hideous fleshworm dire beasts had already stormed through the door. Several martial artists were ripped apart and devoured by the dire beasts. Blood permeated the entire bar.

“There are no more chances to break the genetic lock for me. But I don’t regret coming to the frontline…”

As he was on the verge of death, a smile appeared on Feng Xiu’s lips.

Swish.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning seemed to appear in the dim bar. It was so fast that one couldn’t look straight at it.

As the lightning appeared, the dire beasts blocking the door were split down the middle one after another, before collapsing onto the ground with a thud. Even the fleshworm dire beast lord had its head sliced in half.

With its head sliced in half, it was impossible for the dire beast lord to survive. After all, not every dire beast was comparable to the king-tier beasts. This was already a fatal wound for it.

However, this was not over. Everyone could only see that the bolt of lightning was vaguely a figure holding a saber in his hand. Every time he raised his saber and slashed down with it, not one dire beast could withstand a single blow.

The corpses of dire beasts had already piled up like a mountain on the ground. Everyone in the bar was dumbfounded. At the same time, they felt relieved to have survived a calamity.

“Is that an inhuman expert who came to save us?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps it’s some inhuman expert. Otherwise, how could he have killed so many dire beasts with such ease?”

The people in the bar were all shocked. Witnessing this scene, they had never thought that those hideous, frightening, and powerful dire beasts in their eyes could have such a vulnerable side. This was a one-sided massacre.

Only Feng Xiu, who was lying on the ground, couldn’t help but laugh aloud. “Haha, it’s Brother Feng. Brother Feng is here.”

Before long, all the dire beasts were cleaned up. Lin Feng put away his saber and hurriedly came before Feng Xiu. He took a look at Feng Xiu’s injuries and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s a good thing I came in time. Such minor injuries won’t kill you.”

Feng Xiu had come from the Myriad Academy to the frontline with Lin Feng. The two of them were not actually on friendly terms in the Myriad Academy, and Lin Feng had “coerced” Feng Xiu into coming to the frontline.

However, after being at the frontline for so long, the two of them had actually formed a deep friendship. Lin Feng naturally would not ignore Feng Xiu while he was in danger, and so had rushed to the bar as fast as he could.

Fortunately, he was not too late.

“Brother Feng, you saved my life again. I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve saved me on the frontline. I…”

“Don’t talk so much. Although your injuries won’t kill you, you need to get them treated in time. I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”

“Brother Feng, what about the people in the bar?”

Lin Feng glanced at the people in the bar, then said loudly, “I’ve cleaned up all the dire beasts here, but it’s very unsafe here. You’d better leave quickly and return home. Remember, don’t leave home lightly.”

“all right, thank you.”

“Thank you, our savior. How should I address you? I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”

“Thank you very much.”

The people in the bar left in a hurry. Some even wanted to know Lin Feng’s name, but he rejected them all. He had saved countless people, and he did not need their repayment.

Lin Feng also picked up the seriously injured Feng Xiu and prepared to take him to the hospital.

As they walked, Feng Xiu said, “Brother Feng, do you know what’s going on with these dire beasts?”

“Tm not too sure either. These dire beasts seem to have crawled out of human bodies. If I’m not wrong, they should be parasites.”

Feng Xiu nodded as well. “Yeah, they must be parasites. I didn’t expect those damn fleshworm dire beasts to actually have parasitic abilities. These fleshworm dire beasts must have started parasitizing people during the decisive battle at the frontline.”

Pausing, Feng Xiu said hesitantly, “Brother Feng, do you suppose I could be parasitized too?”

[email protected]/2Lin Feng was slightly stunned. In truth, the methods of parasitism and transmission of the fleshworm dire beasts were unclear as of now. Anyone who had participated in the decisive battle before could actually be parasitized.

Lin Feng and Feng Xiu were no exceptions.

“No, you won’t. How could you be parasitized?”

Lin Feng shook his head. Even if his heart was heavy, he wouldn’t say it out loud.

Feng Xiu also said with a smile, “That’s not necessarily the case. So many people have been parasitized. It won’t be surprising for a peak Grade Nine professional martial artists to get parasitized too. If that time really comes, Brother Feng, I hope you won’t show mercy. You must kill me. I don’t want to

become something as ugly as a giant worm…”

As he spoke, Lin Feng felt that something was amiss. Feng Xiu’s face was becoming paler and paler, and his voice was dying down. His eyes in particular seemed to be faintly turning red.

“Beng Xiu?”

Lin Feng shook Feng Xiu and realized that even Feng Xiu’s gaze was becoming unfocused. However, the injuries Feng Xiu had just suffered shouldn’t be lethal. How could this be?

“Feng Xiu, wake up.”

Lin Feng’s feeling that something was wrong with Feng Xiu only grew stronger. A spine-chilling vaguely occurred to him, and deep down, there was a faint hint of alarm.

Bang.

‘Without any warning, Feng Xiu’s head exploded. Red and white splattered all over Lin Feng.

The pungent smell of blood was still lingering in Lin Feng’s nose. A fleshworm dire beast suddenly leaped out of Feng Xiu’s body, and fiercely pounced towards Lin Feng to bite him as soon as it appeared.

“Get lost!”

Lin Feng threw a punch. The fleshworm dire beast that had just been born was smashed into pieces by the punch. Its sickly green internal organs spilled all over the floor.

“Feng Xiu?”

Lin Feng was still carrying Feng Xiu’s corpse, but Feng Xiu had already lost his head. Any sign of life was long gone from his body.

Feng Xiu had also been parasitized. From the moment in battle at the frontline, Feng Xiu had been parasitized. It was just that it had only taken effect now.

Lin Feng and Feng Xiu’s friendship could not be considered profound, but being unable to do anything as he watched Feng Xiu die before his eyes gave him a feeling of powerlessness, just like when he could only watch Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci die before his eyes.

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

suddenly, a strange sound appeared in Lin Feng’s head. This sound seemed to be able to stir up restlessness in some kind of consciousness within his body.

At the same time, the fleshworm dire beasts that were wreaking havoc on the streets stopped their frenzied killing. They pricked up their ears, as if they were listening for something.

At this moment, the entire Dragonlith City fell silent.

Lin Feng was still immersed in the sorrow of Feng Xiu’s death, but now, his face was filled with shock.

He could actually “understand” the strange sound just now. It appeared that a voice was summoning all the fleshworm dire beasts.

“Incoming. Outside the city, they’re incoming…”

Lin Feng took a deep breath, placed Feng Xiu’s corpse in a house at the roadside, and immediately rushed towards the outside of the city frantically.
