Chapter 53 Monster Extermination
Dark fighter jets sped across the skies over the wilderness.
Chen Yuan observed the markings on the map. There were no fewer than a thousand markings that had been confirmed as Lord Monsters, but those were scattered all over the country. When Chen Yuan narrowed the map to the area around Jiangnan Base City, the number of markings immediately dropped to more than three hundred.
The vast majority of these Lord-level monsters are located in coastal areas, especially in City 003, the former Shanghai area, where Lord-level monsters are concentrated.
Chen Yuan had the auxiliary computer devise an optimal route: from city 037 to city 003, passing through 93 territories of lord-level monsters.
About 20 minutes later, the fighter jet arrived at an altitude of 2,000 meters above City 037. This altitude exceeded the jump limit of a Lord-level monster, so it was considered relatively safe.
Not far below was the Lord Monster's lair. Chen Yuan opened the hatch, turned around and said to his team members, "I'll go down and kill the monster first. You guys find a safe place to land in about ten minutes, and then head straight for the monster's lair."
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers from the army responded in unison. Only Zhang Yunhao, a warrior from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, seemed a little hesitant. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Um, War God Chen, it seems you didn't bring a parachute?"
The fighter jet is currently at an altitude of 2,000 meters. If someone were to jump directly from there, even a powerful warrior would be severely injured without any cushioning.
"Don't worry, I don't need a parachute." Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head, then said to Zhang Yunhao, "You just need to go with them later."
After saying that, Chen Yuan leaped into the air. The instant his body left the fighter jet, his Black God Suit immediately changed form, and a pair of black gliders with a wingspan of about three meters suddenly unfolded behind him.
With a whoosh, Chen Yuan flew rapidly toward his target.
Chen Yuan glided at an extremely fast speed, covering a distance of several thousand meters in just 3 seconds, and burst into the monster's lair.
During the dive, Chen Yuan had already spread his mental power to the fullest extent, taking full control of the surrounding situation. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and his right hand gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Clang—"
With a clear, resonant sword cry, the SS-grade battle sword was drawn. Chen Yuan held the sword in front of him, assuming a standard thrusting stance.
The next second, Chen Yuan landed. He quickly retracted the hang glider on his back, and then he suddenly exerted force with his feet, rushing forward like an arrow, instantly covering a distance of hundreds of meters, and arriving in front of a huge monster.
"Gale!" Chen Yuan shouted in his heart, and the longsword in his hand instantly transformed into a silver lightning bolt. The power contained in this sword was so great that it was like a cannonball being fired.
"Boom!" A loud bang echoed as the sword tip struck the monster's body with pinpoint accuracy.
Shockingly, the power of this sword strike was so great that it not only easily pierced through the monster's body, but also carried Chen Yuan through it.
The next second, Chen Yuan's figure appeared on the other side of the monster's body.
"Roar—" The monster let out a painful howl as it struggled to turn around, trying to see who had ambushed it.
"Hiss!" Another soft sound rang out, and a hint of confusion flashed in the monster's eyes. Why did it see its own body?
This was the last thought that flashed through the monster's mind. With a muffled thud, the monster's huge head slammed to the ground, and then its headless body swayed and fell down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The monster never found out who killed it before it died. Chen Yuan stood on the monster's body, his long sword held horizontally in front of him. He looked down and examined it carefully. There wasn't a single trace of blood on the blade; it was still as clean as new.
"It seems I underestimated this SS-class battle sword." Chen Yuan sighed softly. "As expected of a weapon capable of fierce battles with King-level monsters, dealing with Lord-level monsters is as easy as cutting tofu."
You should know that Chen Yuan just easily pierced through the monster's body, sword and all, so easily that he almost didn't have time to react.
Because he spent every day in the Trial Tower during this period, using the physical qualities of a novice warrior to fight against the high-level beast general-level "Fire Kirin Trident Boar" on the sixth floor with a 4-element longsword, he suffered a lot.
Spending so much time fighting in the Trial Tower led to a bad habit in Chen Yuan: he habitually used his maximum strength because he was worried that his weapon wouldn't be able to break through his defenses. Perhaps this was a limitation of the Trial Tower.
Chen Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked down slightly. He saw dust rising in the distance, the dust kicked up by countless monsters running. Clearly, the lord monster's dying howl had attracted the entire pack of beasts from the lair.
"Perfect timing." Chen Yuan chuckled, took a step, and like a phantom, instantly plunged into the horde of beasts.
With his current strength, these beast soldier and beast general level monsters were ridiculously slow in his eyes. His speed was extremely fast, and he could pass by more than a dozen monsters in a second. Every time he swung his long sword, a cloud of blood mist would rise up. In just a few breaths, hundreds of monsters had fallen under his sword.
The beast horde finally began to panic. The monsters in the front row tried to turn around and run away, but their path was blocked by their own kind surging up from behind. Chen Yuan chuckled when he saw this, and with a leap, he arrived next to a monster that was trying to escape. With a casual wave of his hand, he ended its life.
Given the strength of these monsters, their fate against Chen Yuan is almost sealed unless they scatter and flee immediately.
Ten minutes later, when Chen Yuan's team arrived, they were met with a horrific scene of corpses strewn across the land.
"This...this is a one-horned boar, a mastiff, a wild bull..." Zhang Yunhao identified the monster corpses on the ground as if they were his own treasures, his shock growing deeper and deeper. "And judging from their size, they're all at the Beast General level! War God Chen dealt with so many Beast Generals in just ten minutes?"
"There's more here!"
"My God, it's the corpse of a Lord Monster!"
Hearing his teammates' exclamations, Zhang Yunhao rushed over. When he saw the monster's corpse before him, his eyes widened in shock: "My God, this is the Azure Wild Bull, the number one monster among cattle!"
"And he was a lord-level being, yet he was beheaded by War God Chen with a single sword strike!"
Zhang Yunhao felt that the shock he had received today was greater than all the shocks he had experienced in his entire life. The group of beast generals he had just encountered was already terrifying, but the corpse of the Azure Wild Bull in front of him made him feel even more awe towards Chen Yuan.
Zhang Yunhao was a warrior after all, so he had some basic eyesight. After seeing the wounds on the Azure Wild Bull, he understood... Chen Yuan only needed two sword strikes to kill it! The first sword pierced through its body, and the second sword directly beheaded it.
It should be noted that this Azure Wild Bull is a full 30 meters tall, far exceeding the capabilities of a mere novice lord. Based on his experience, a novice lord-level Azure Wild Bull is only about 15 meters tall, so one that reaches 30 meters is almost certainly a high-level lord.
But even the mighty Azure Bull, with its immense strength, died in just two sword strikes from Chen Yuan. Zhang Yunhao couldn't fathom just how powerful Chen Yuan was. Ordinary peak war gods would never possess such strength.
"Zhang Yunhao! Stop daydreaming!" His teammate's shout pulled him back to reality. "War God Chen is heading to the next area. Hurry up and contact the martial arts school to come and move the loot. There are so many monster corpses, we can't move them all by ourselves."
"We'll leave a few brothers behind to provide backup. Once you've made contact, get on the fighter jet quickly."
"Understood!" Zhang Yunhao nodded emphatically and quickly used his communication watch to contact the martial arts school members waiting in the base city.
Three minutes later, Zhang Yunhao finished giving his instructions, left the phone number of his martial arts brothers with the military martial artists in charge of the pick-up, and then boarded the fighter jet with the main force. Soon the fighter jet took off again and headed to the next area.
Time flies. In the days that followed, Chen Yuan led his team across thousands of miles, annihilating hundreds of lord monster lairs and killing more than three hundred lord monsters! He killed more than one hundred thousand beast generals, and as for the weaker beast soldiers, they were too numerous to count.
February 25, 2078, in City 002.
After clearing out another monster nest, Chen Yuan called over the warriors in his team to finish up, while he sat alone on the massive corpse of the Lord-level 'Winged Wolf' and glanced at the panel.
