Chapter 683: Chapter 505: Demon Beast Assault on the City

The crowd exchanged glances, all a bit at a loss.

How to choose?

No one knew how to choose, so they all turned their gaze towards Lin Feng.

Since there was fear and hesitation, they deferred the final decision to Lin Feng, the captain.

As the creator of the Avengers Alliance, her unique abilities and Contract Soul Skill made him the undisputed core of the team.

Since entering the Land of Chaos, to sealing the Space Gates, and participating in the King Becoming Project, all these significant plans were decided by Lin Feng.

And they all succeeded.

In moments of confusion and hesitation, everyone instinctively let Lin Feng make the decisions.

Feeling everyone’s attention, Lin Feng’s expression slightly changed, and he remained silent.

He also didn’t know how to choose.

Reason told him not to participate.

They were not Kings yet; their power wasn’t strong enough.

In the face of such a massive army of Demon Beasts, their power was extremely insignificant.

Facing an army of two to three hundred thousand Demon Beasts, only an Emperor could ensure their own safety, and even Kings could easily fall.

Moreover, this was not just a simple Demon Beast attack on the city but a conspiracy against the trainees.

Each of them had bounties on their heads, massive bounties, and amidst the chaotic environment surrounded by Demon Beasts, they had to be wary of others.

No one was absolutely safe in the face of a sky-high reward.

Anyone could act against them.

So, Lin Feng also didn’t know how to choose.

When the Space Gates of the Land of Chaos merged, Lin Feng did not hesitate.

But this time, he hesitated.

With Lin Feng’s silence, the others didn’t get an answer and didn’t speak, so they could only watch the television.

In the video footage, the Demon Beast army had already arrived three hundred meters from the great wall.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Without any warning, artillery fire exploded in the sky and on the ground.

The deafening artillery fire sounded like Thunder, and thousands of degrees of flame suddenly erupted from each cannon barrel on the great wall.

The great wall had turned into a war machine.

With thick smoke rising, the outermost Demon Beasts were first covered by artillery fire, with little resistance, directly turning into mangled corpses, some even exploded into pieces of flesh.

Demon Beasts died, and colorful Demon Spirits just started to emerge, only to be directly evaporated by the high temperature.

"Boom!!"

Various missiles appeared on the horizon, descending from the sky, falling into the Demon Beast horde, burning flames soaring, flesh flying everywhere.

The artillery and missile attack instantly left two to three thousand Demon Beast corpses behind, clearing a space ahead.

"Roar...."

The fear of pain and death caused the outer Demon Beasts to scatter, trying to escape.

The outer Demon Beasts were mostly Mid and Low Level ones, being driven by Advanced Demon Beasts, serving as cannon fodder at this moment, though they wanted to escape, there was no way back.

The Demon Beast army was not deterred by the artillery fire; they gathered from various races in a chaotic manner.

Yet, they were in a berserk state, having lost their reason, fearlessly charging forward, roaring madly as they sprinted towards the great wall, while also releasing ranged attacks.

Various Soul Skills and artillery faced off head-on.

Flames continued to blossom, smoke billowed, and the television screen was gradually shrouded in the haze, with only the sounds of artillery and furious roars audible.

In the room, only the sounds of artillery from the TV and the heavy breathing remained.

No one spoke, even their breathing felt suppressed.

Although it was just distant aerial footage, and wasn’t very clear, yet it still made people feel chilling terror.

And this was merely the direct confrontation between modern weapons and Demon Beasts.

What if it were humans against Demon Beasts?

How bloody and tragic would that be?

Even though the screen was obscured by smoke, everyone still kept their eyes fixed on the television.

The artillery sounded for five or six minutes before gradually fading, and as the haze slowly dispersed and visibility returned, the ground outside the great wall was already stained with blood, piled with the corpses and innards of Demon Beasts.

The Demon Beast army didn’t inflict damage on the great wall, though they suffered heavy casualties, but they had already entered within a hundred meters of the great wall.

They were very close now.

At this distance, it would only take two or three seconds for Demon Beasts to reach.

In the footage, the black cannon barrels on the great wall were already glowing red, emitting bursts of smoke.

A cacophony of whistles came from the sky.

A barrage of missiles flew again towards the Demon Beast horde, some prematurely detonated by Soul Skill attacks, others falling into the Demon Beast army.

The powerful artillery sounded again, this time lasting three minutes; the Demon Beast army had already dwindled by half, with around a hundred thousand left.

These remaining Demon Beasts were almost exclusively Mid and High Level ones.

At this point, the Demon Beast army had appeared under the great wall, which was constantly being bombarded by Soul Skills, soon showing plenty of craters.

As the craters appeared, artillery sprayed through, annihilating the Demon Beasts preparing to swarm in.

While eliminating them, the craters were quickly filled with flowing earth and stones.

Evidently, this was the handiwork of a Demon Spirit Master.

Continuous artillery bombardment, Demon Beasts incessantly releasing Soul Skill attacks against the great wall, the front row Demon Beasts being squeezed, surging towards the great wall like a tidal wave, pierced by thorny iron spikes.

Other Demon Beasts climbed upon the bodies, with thorny iron spikes barely able to hold them off.

"It looks like some Demon Beasts have entered the city."

With Dong Yunan’s exclamation, in the footage, the Demon Beasts stepped on the bodies of their companions, leaping up onto the great wall, some being shot down by the artillery and guards, others successfully entered the great wall.

Just as everyone was worried sick, the footage abruptly cut off.

"Damn!"

Ye Xing clenched his fist and cursed angrily.

The footage ended, likely not due to filming issues, but because the ensuing scenes were too bloody to be shown to the audience.

And this also meant that Zhouyun City could no longer withstand the Demon Beast army.

"From the appearance of the red alert to the cessation of the footage took less than 20 minutes!"

Lin Feng spoke in a serious tone.

The speed was unbelievably fast.

So fast that Shangjing had no time to prepare and could only provide artillery support, but this support was evidently limited.

The screen cut off, and no one knew what the scene inside Zhouyun City was like at that moment.

Yu Qiao and a few others opened the Martial Artist Forum, which was now full of discussions about the demon beast army attacking Zhouyun City. Many residents of Zhouyun City posted, but all they knew was that the city was engulfed in fire and explosions, without knowing the specifics.

"What should we do?"

Yun Kai asked in a low voice.

"Let’s wait for more news."

Lin Feng replied.

This scale of demon beast attack on the city cannot be stopped by just one person or one force.

At this moment, the only hope to save Zhouyun City lies with Shangjing Base City.

The upper echelons of Shangjing are definitely having a meeting right now, and they’ll soon react and send reinforcements.

All they have to do is wait.

Just as Lin Feng anticipated, a minute later he received a message, a phone call notification.

It informed him to gather in the lobby on the first floor.

The others received notification calls at the same time.

No one said much, and they all stepped out of their rooms. Just a short distance out of the room, they encountered Jing Feiyang.

Lin Feng nodded to him, unsurprised.

The hotel where they were staying was the accommodation for the King Becoming plan, with ninety percent of the students staying here.

Encountering other students was the most normal thing.

Jing Feiyang also nodded to Lin Feng and his team, stood still for a moment, and only moved again when Lin Feng and the others approached.

Along the way, they encountered many students, and the elevators were already insufficient, so Lin Feng and the group directly used the stairs.

Soon, everyone reached the first-floor lobby.

The lobby was already filled with many people waiting.

The majority were the students and aides from this King Becoming project.

Among them were Zhang Junhao, Zhao Zhou, and others.

They were gathered, talking together.

"Damn, it must be the Dream Celestial King taking action; no one else can control so many Advanced demon beasts."

"The Pure Land really has no bottom line, actually colluding with the Alien Race."

"Why do you think the government notified us to gather?"

"Isn’t that a pointless question? It must be to let us go help!"

"With a demon beast tide of such magnitude, how can we help?"

"It’s a dead end for us if we go!"

"Knowing it’s a trap, yet still letting us take the risk, just drop a nuclear bomb already."

"Easy to say, that’s a Satellite City with over a million people, how many can survive a nuclear strike?"

Faced with such a demon beast army, no one could be fearless.

"Lin Feng’s team is here," someone whispered.

The appearance of Lin Feng’s team drew quite a bit of attention, but it didn’t leave a strong impression.

Though Lin Feng’s team had glorious achievements, their strength was far from the others.

Even if some wanted to make friends with them, this occasion and atmosphere were not suitable.

As more people entered the lobby, it now gathered five to six hundred people, half of whom were students and aides of the King Becoming plan, along with powerful contestants.

The other half were experts from various families and corporations, including some Guardians.

Yang Qing and Yang Qingtian were also among them.

The two noticed the arrival of Lin Feng’s team, instinctively glanced at Lin Feng, but didn’t react much.

Lin Feng also saw the two, but his gaze swept past without much care, his dismissive attitude quite apparent, causing Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing’s expressions to subtly change, though they quickly returned to normal.

Zhan Tian’en, standing nearby, almost burst out laughing at this scene.

Yang Qingtian clearly noticed the smile on his friend’s face, turned slightly, eyes unfriendly.

Zhan Tian’en waved his hand, indicating he meant no harm, yet there was still a touch of humor on his face.

In his view, the Yang Race was dying for dignity and enduring distress, what harm in admitting a mistake?

Though the Yang Race was among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, and Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing were strong, having the capital for pride and arrogance.

But they didn’t know what they were missing.

Nonetheless, this gave him the chance to invest in Lin Feng’s team.

Initially, it was just an investment.

Since the Zhan Race was already targeted, destined to be forcefully usurped, it was better to nurture geniuses.

Lin Feng’s team, without a doubt, was a great investment opportunity.

Just that Zhan Tianyu was also in Lin Feng’s team made the spending not painful.

Back then, it was merely to secure a backup plan.

But he never intended to place all his bets on Lin Feng’s team.

Yet, with just a few interactions, the more he knew, the more astonished he became.

Just the data he had gathered convinced him to gamble the family’s century-old accumulation entirely on it.

At all costs.

Everyone underestimated Lin Feng’s team.

This time in the King Becoming plan, they would undoubtedly shock the world.

This would undoubtedly become his most successful investment.

As long as Lin Feng’s team could grow, even if the Zhan Race lost everything, this investment wouldn’t be a loss.

It wasn’t long before the atmosphere, which had been somewhat noisy, gradually quieted down when the Three Emperors, led by Hong Tao, appeared alongside the military hierarchy.

Hong Tao stood at the entrance, without entering the lobby, and the first sentence he spoke plunged the atmosphere into a deathly silence:

"Zhouyun City has fallen!"
