Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Chapter 355: This Is Exciting!

No one knew how Xiang Ning was doing it. Maybe the weapon was stronger than they thought. Regardless, there was no time to think about it because everyone was focused on him.

“The hero from Marsh City has returned!”

“The Chosen One!”

“Teacher Xiang Ning is the best in the world!”

The Broken Blade Knight medal signified the downfall of a great warrior. Their heroic acts were often recorded, as many others wished for their return. They yearned for the day when the sword would be reforged and the knight would fight once more.

Alas, many of their prayers went unanswered. If there was a God that heard their prayers, humanity wouldn’t have had to suffer so badly during the Great Disaster. Everyone was praying in the dark and hopeless days seeking salvation from the heavens above.

There was a good saying: why not depend on yourselves rather than depending on the heavens? Placing your hope in things that don’t exist was no different than waiting to be slaughtered. But today, they’d seen a miracle. Xiang Ning had returned. The Devourer, a sword that was once broken to the point where the core had almost died, had been reforged, its blade glimmering in the sunlight. And wielding it was the same boy that everyone had wanted to grow just half a year prior.

When he had been crippled, everyone was praying that he would miraculously recover. But the days went on. Fang Rou, Xiang Xiaoyu, those from the orphanage, and his schoolmates, all of them had seen how he would fall from a simple brush with another person. They saw how much he slept due to fatigue, and how the pride of Marsh City had fallen.

Not even his rivals wished to see him so weak. Rather than celebrating, they felt that they had lost one of their milestones. They hated him, so they wanted to show him that they were living a better life than his. That was the pride of youngsters like them, to win against an opponent they had once lost to. But Xiang Ning was so weak that a single punch would be more than enough to break his bones. There was no meaning in winning against such a weak opponent.

It was now noon. The sun was high in the sky and the temperature was hot. Here in the south, even the spring felt like summer. As for the humans, they wanted more heat! More excitement! The beasts, on the other hand, felt that they had been thrown into a frozen cave. Should they advance or retreat?

All of that happened in just one second. The spiritual cultivators, who were mesmerized by Xiang Ning’s gallant figure, snapped out of it and the sound of gunfire resumed.

The beasts also snapped out of it the moment they felt the searing pain as the bullets tore through their bodies. They had a more difficult time advancing since they’d lost all of their momentum.

Only one thing was on the mind of the human side: kill all the beasts! Kill them all to protect their homes! All thoughts of Xiang Ning had been thrown to the back of their minds.

“Lord Envy….”

Obsession saw Lord Envy standing still and felt uneasy. Three seconds later, Envy’s straight and lanky body suddenly contorted in various angles as his arms flailed in excitement. “It’s… it’s too beautiful! Perfect! I need it! I need it!”

The crazy cries from Envy caused a lot of discomfort in Obsession, who suddenly felt a chill in his guts.

“Quick! Capture him for me! I don’t care about the Chaos! Capture that boy, I must have him!” Envy shouted like a madman.

Obsession nodded without saying anything. Even though Lord Envy had said so, they still needed to capture the Chaos, as it was their primary objective. And the only way to do that was to either capture the boy alive or kill him. Otherwise, it would be impossible. And something that Obsession felt strongly about was that, no matter what, he had to deal with Xiang Ning!

The beasts were being slaughtered. Still, there were four thousand or so beasts still alive, including Beast Generals in the hundreds.

The martial artists were more than ready. When the beasts were just a hundred meters away from them, the spiritual cultivators retreated as the martial artists ran forward to intercept the beasts. Their vitality flared and the beasts saw a banquet spread out in front of them. The blood and meat of the martial artists was their path for evolution! It was their version of heaven; they had to risk it all!

Xiang Ning smiled. Moments like this were his favorite, as he saw the countless Fury Points pouring in. The little stunt that he’d pulled had given him roughly four hundred thousand Fury Points. He immediately spent them on the raffle. His luck wasn’t too bad, as he managed to get a little over fifty bottles of healing potion and even a particular piece of paper that he decided to check afterward. Maybe it was because he hadn’t used the raffle for six months, but it was quite generous to him this time.

The terrain wouldn’t allow the four thousand beasts and the two thousand martial artists to fight at the same time, and was instead split into four zones. Many of the spiritual cultivators joined in the fight, too, as some of them were dual cultivators. The pure spiritual cultivators were using sniper rifles that had been prepared by Marsh City. While their strength might not be enough to kill the beasts in a single shot, the constant fire at least disrupted the tempo of the beasts, allowing the martial artists to kill them easier.

“Triple Slash!” Xiang Ning launched his Peak Mastery technique into the wave of beasts and turned them into mincemeat. Blood flew everywhere as the beasts miserably howled. Xiang Ning had never once stopped using the aura of the Simian Sage, nor had he deactivated the Sovereign’s Throne. The beasts could barely use half of their strength.

Some of them were even actively trying to avoid him, but there were simply too many of them such that they could barely move around.

Xiang Ning kept killing until he saw some of the beasts trying to avoid him. But he had anticipated that and used Taunt. The beasts were angered once again and immediately turned back to attack him. It was as if they were begging to be killed.

A distance away, Zhao Zhongxian was secretly following him. He was quite a bit of a pushover, which led him to follow Xiang Ning into dangerous situations when his viewers urged him to do so.

“Bro! You’re too crazy! I’ll pay you ten thousand dollars if you return alive!”

“What a madman! Is Wang Han your relative?!”

“Quick! He’s getting further and further away from you!”

Zhao Zhongxian wanted to cry. He was trying his best, but he was scared. He was only a normal person at physical tempering stage eight. If a beast were to hit him, even once, he would be dead.

“Hey! Why’re you stopping? You can’t call yourself someone like Wang Han if you don’t move! A war journalist should have the courage to stand on the front line!” The viewer donated a thousand dollars for their message to be displayed on the screen. Now everyone in the livestream knew about it.josei

Zhao Zhongxian thought that he might as well do it, since he was there. I need to be like Wang Han, to be his… his heart started racing. But this time it wasn’t out of fear, but excitement.

It was exciting!
