Chapter 46: She Is Our Greatest Savior!

The beast horde approached.

The stench of their fury and bloodlust crashed against the warriors like filthy waves.

Tier-4 beasts!
Tier-5 beasts!
Tier-6 beasts!
Tier-7 beasts!
Tier-8 Beast Kings!
Tier-9 Beast Emperor!

The colossal Beast Emperor loomed like a mountain, its gaze filled with contempt, sweeping over the battlefield as if looking at mere ants.

Three Beast Kings flanked its sides, standing as its guardians.

It directed the Tier-4, Tier-5, and Tier-6 beasts to attack, while the Tier-7 and Tier-8 beasts advanced alongside it toward Xuanwu Base.

“The Beast Emperor is attacking the city!”

Seasoned general Shi Hai turned pale.

“That damned creature has been planning this! It’s an all-out siege!”

“Quick, quick, quick! Fall back! Defend the base!”

The intelligence of a Beast King was already formidable, and the Beast Emperor far surpassed that.

It had long been in collusion with Zhan Bai of Xuanwu Base. Once Song Lufeng wiped out the Guangming Group, the Beast Emperor would rally the horde to strike.

The towering energy pillar just now had been the perfect signal.

“It’s too late! We can’t make it back in time!”

“The beasts have us surrounded!”

Like a vast ocean, the beast horde encircled them.

Meanwhile, the Beast Emperor led even more beasts in its march toward Xuanwu Base.

Half of their warriors had been deployed for this battle. The base’s energy supply was insufficient to sustain powerful nuclear artillery. If the Beast Emperor breached the city, Xuanwu Base would be doomed.

Xuanwu Base was in grave danger.

The survival of humanity in Huaxia was at stake.

Someone wailed in despair:

“Heavens, is this truly the end of our fate?”

“I don’t want to die!”

Victory had seemed so close—

Hope had been within reach—

Yet now, a storm threatened to snuff it out completely.

Cheng Fang turned to look toward the base, thinking of the daughter awaiting his return.

Gritting his teeth, he flung his flying daggers.

“Kill! Kill them all! We’re already as good as dead—what is there to fear? If you’re a man, fight like one!”

Grief-stricken warriors wiped their tears away.

“Even if I die, I’ll take a few of them with me! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“If they want to take the base, they’ll have to step over our corpses first!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The warriors clashed madly with the beasts.

At that moment, a streak of black lightning flashed across the sky.

A black projectile descended like a cannonball, unleashing a shockwave and crackling with dark energy, tearing through the beasts.

Song Lufeng landed, wielding his Black Radiance Sword, standing resolutely in the howling wind—facing off against the Beast Emperor.

The warriors felt as if they’d taken a stabilizing pill.

“The City Lord is here!”

“Fight your way to the City Lord!”

“Don’t burden him! Focus on breaking through first!”

The Beast Emperor—a towering dragon-like beast over 200 meters tall—stood upright.

Its two enormous feathered wings unfurled, blotting out the sky.

Its body was covered in spiked scales.

Its four golden eyes locked onto Song Lufeng.

The three Beast Kings beside it:

A giant blue eagle, crackling with blue lightning.
A wolf-like creature, with molten lava surging beneath its fur.
A floating green jellyfish-like monster, semi-transparent and eerie.

“Roar!”

A command was issued.

The blue eagle attacked first, spitting a massive blue electric orb.

Everything in its path was scorched to cinders.

Song Lufeng flickered in an instant, slicing the electric orb in half with Black Radiance Sword—
then swiftly kicked it toward the lava wolf!

The molten creature erupted in a surge of flames, turning the ground into a sea of fire.

The floating green jellyfish swelled and contracted—

ZZZZZZZ!

A high-frequency soundwave spread outward.

Unprepared beasts nearby had their heads explode instantly.

Behind Song Lufeng, a black crescent moon reappeared.

With a fluid arc, the razor-sharp black blade severed the jellyfish monster, rebounded, sliced off the lava wolf’s leg, then flashed again, shearing off one of the blue eagle’s wings!

In just a few exchanges, one Beast King had perished, while the other two were grievously injured.

The warriors erupted in cheers.

The Beast Emperor’s four golden eyes widened in shock.

Yet, it did not retreat.

It locked its gaze onto Song Lufeng.

Song Lufeng met its stare with unwavering resolve, undeterred by the colossal size and terrifying power of his enemy.

But only he knew—

He was nearing his limit.

His abilities had been greatly depleted from his battle with Zhan Bai.

Now, after using his full strength to suppress the three Beast Kings, he was barely standing.

Against the Beast Emperor—

Had he been at full power, he could fight a few more rounds. But now, he had to retreat.

His abilities had yet to evolve to the point of unlimited use.

The truth was—

He was only standing by sheer willpower.

He was exhausted—so, so exhausted.

But he could not fall.

If the Beast Emperor realized his weakness and launched an all-out attack, it would be over.

He let out a bitter chuckle.

He had overestimated himself.

Underestimated these beasts.

His last resort—one final use of his ability to teleport everyone back to the city.

He had never feared death.

But now—

Now, he couldn’t bear to die.

A savior…

“I’m sorry… I couldn’t keep my promise.”

Closing his eyes for a moment, Song Lufeng prepared to unleash his last burst of power—

Then, suddenly—

A voice played from the communicator in his pocket.

“City Lord Song, I’ve reached the coastline and extracted some seawater for you.”

“See if you can extract hydrogen and deuterium from it for nuclear fuel.”

Gu Man’s voice was like the song of an angel.

Song Lufeng darted toward an armored combat vehicle.

“The Savior has sent seawater! Who can extract nuclear fuel?”

“I can!”

Mechanic Wen Miao stepped forward, pointing to a square container.

“City Lord, pour the seawater in. It will extract the nuclear fuel instantly!”

The machine, long ridiculed as impractical, finally had its moment.

Seawater poured in—elements were extracted—nuclear energy was activated.

Power surged into war machines and mechs, transforming them into mobile fortresses.

One by one, nuclear shells were fired into the beast horde.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions swept through the battlefield, cutting down waves of beasts like a farmer harvesting crops.

“Take this, you damned beasts!”

Shi Hai, holding a fully charged nuclear cannon, grinned fiercely—then aimed straight at the Beast Emperor!

The Beast Emperor’s golden eyes widened in shock.

It couldn’t comprehend—

Where was this energy coming from?

It had been certain that this land had no such nuclear resources.

Caught in its own doubts—

A nuclear shell struck.

It shielded itself with its wings but was still blasted, its feathers torn apart.

The two remaining Beast Kings were obliterated.

With a deafening roar, the Beast Emperor fled into the sky, retreating in terror.

The siege had failed.

For a moment, the warriors couldn’t believe it.

Then—

“We won! We won!”

“We defeated the Beast Emperor!”

“This is the greatest victory in history!”

“This victory belongs to the Savior and the City Lord!”

Song Lufeng, finally relaxing, coughed up blood.

The warriors panicked.

“City Lord!”

“Are you alright?”

He wiped his mouth, smiling faintly.

“Just exhausted. A few days of rest will do.”

Shi Hai and Cheng Fang exchanged glances, breaking into cold sweat.

Holy hell—

The City Lord had just pulled off the ultimate gamble!

Had the Savior not delivered the seawater in time—

They all would have perished.

Now, they could only shudder at the thought.

And rejoice.

“The Savior…”

“She truly is our greatest Savior!”
