Chapter 199: The Beast Wave (Part Two)
Translator: Sheryl Editor: Hitesh
“Young warrior, all the people in the village are on their way to Iron City now, and it will probably take them two or three days to get there.” The axman talked over to Ye Chen and delivered the news. Ye Chen jumped off the wall, and asked, “Within the ten mile radius, what other villages or towns are there?”
“There are Li Yang Village, Mountain Village, Lu Family Village, River Village, Yang Liu Village and Yellow Mountain Town!” The axman answered without thinking.
Ye Chen said,” The beasts move quite fast; I am afraid they would catch up with us before we reach the Iron City. You go notify all the village people to run towards the Yellow Mountain town. More people would equal more security.”
In the beginning of the beast wave, there would not be many beasts with high ranks. And the rare rank 5 or 6 beasts, Ye Chen was able to handle it by himself. But most of the village people were only mortals, and even a rank 1 beast would be able to tear them apart. So, they had to be protected by a huge group of warriors. And with the Yellow Mountain Town as a town, there should be a lot of Condensing Reality Realm warriors, maybe even a couple of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors if they were lucky.
“Young warrior, you are quite right!” The axman was not stupid, he knew Ye Chen was only one man, and it was impossible for him to protect the whole town. Then, when the time came, even the smallest attack from the beasts would be fatal for the village people.
“Alright, let’s go.”
After performing his Tornado Broken Clouds, the horrifying tornadoes had killed and knocked down all those flying beasts. Ye Chen grabbed the axman, running towards the rest of the people.
After one hour, the village people had met those from the Li Yang Village.
After three hours, the people from the Mountain Village had also joined the group.
The quantity of the group had grown from four hundred people to now thousands. This huge group of people was rushing towards Yellow Mountain Town, which was ten miles away.
“Gao, who is this young man killing all those beasts all by himself?” The leader of Li Yang Village asked the axman.
The axman scratched his head, and said proudly,” He is a senior warrior. As for his name… I didn’t ask… regardless all that, he is just a really powerful warrior!”
“Yah! If it wasn’t for him, all of us would be dead by now, I am afraid.” The leader of the Mountain Village looked over to the corpse pile and said with a shaky voice.
This was the third group of beasts that Ye Chen had killed, each one of it having more than a hundred beasts. The most dangerous time was when the beasts attacked from the front. Obviously, those were the beasts from around Yellow Mountain City. Ye Chen was able to fight against the Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors now, plus, there were a couple of massive attacking range moves in his Sky Cloud Martial School, which along with his zhen qi repairing pills, allowed him to barely keep all those people unharmed.
Even so, more than a hundred people had died during the past thirty miles or so.
“There are another couple of beasts coming from that direction; there are so many of them! At least a thousand of them!” Along the way, some of the passing-by warriors volunteered to protect the people, most of them at Mid Condensing Reality Realm, while only one was a Late Condensing Reality Realm warrior, who was speaking right now. He was a huge man in his thirties, holding a huge bloody blade in his hand.
Ye Chen said,” I will go over there and try to kill them all. You guys protect the people here, okay?”
“Okay! You be careful!” The huge man knew that Ye Chen was extremely powerful and those beasts in the leading group should not be able to hurt him.
Shoo!
Ye Chen flashed his body, which was separated into three different zhen qi shadows. They ran towards the beast wave shoulder by shoulder.
Ye Chen then threw out a Tornado Broken Cloud attack, while the three zhen qi shadow tryied to block out the rest of the beasts with bare hands.
After killing around hundreds of beasts, Ye Chen could no longer hold on. He yelled at the group,” Everyone! Prepare to fight!”
“Don’t worry, we are not just decorations!”
Ten Condensing Reality Realm warriors stood in front of thousands of village people. Although there were not many of them, but the aura was still strong. Some of the people from the village who reached above Mortal Realm level 5 had also stood up. They could not handle beasts above rank 2, but they could help take care of the rank 1 or rank 2 beasts.
AWOOO!
All the flying beasts in the sky had been cleared out by Ye Chen. The rest of them were beasts that could not fly. Those beasts had run towards the group while roaring. With all the beast roars, a lot of the children were scared and started to cry, making the women hold on to their children while shivering themselves.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Following the ten Condensing Reality Realm warriors’ lead, including the axman, all of the village people who had some fighting power had run towards the beasts. Their eyes were bloodshot and full of murderous intention.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
During the first contact, an Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior had been stabbed through his chest by the teeth of a Wild Boar beast. He had died on the spot. Right after that, another dozens of village people had been stamped to death by the beasts. The axman was pretty lucky. The beast he was fighting with was only a rank 2 Fog Cow beast, which had only a big scary-looking body but no strong power. The axman did not have to worry about other beasts coming to attack him during his fight with the Fog Cow.
Swoosh!
Appearing among the beasts, Ye Chen held his Star Scar Sword, throwing out a sword attack in four different directions.
CHHHHIIII!
Four ten-meter-long sword qi cut open the ground; wherever it went, all the beasts were cut in half. Blood was everywhere.
“Tyrant Seasons!”
The sword qi had just disappeared, when Ye Chen threw a punch on the ground.
Booom!
The ground was shaking tremendously. A ten meter huge hole appeared at once, and all of the beasts that were running in the front could not stop their bodies on time from falling into the hole. The beasts in the back were also unable to stop their bodies, so they had also fallen into the hole. All of a sudden, the hole had trapped more than ten beasts.
With no time to kill every single one of the beasts in the hole, Ye Chen rushed to where the main group of people were because some of the beasts had been running towards that direction.
“Mama, I am so scared!”
Seeing a huge mouse beast running towards then, a little kid tried to get closer to her mom.
“Don’t be afraid! I am here!”
The woman could not be paler, but she still tried to calm her baby in her arms.
The huge mouse beast was a rank 3 beast. Before this, it had already bitten off more than a dozen village people’s head which was extremely horrifying. Right now, it had been running among the people without anyone being able to stop it.
Right at that critical moment, a fist landed on the head of that huge mouse beast. The intense fist power had blown the beast into the air as its body fell into pieces.
“Go tell the others to try to stick together.”
Standing in front of the two, there was blood dripping down Ye Chen’s sword.
“Thank you so much!” A lot of people had died in this area, and there were not many people left. The woman hurried to rush to where the rest of the group was with her kid in her hand. She kept wiping the tears that kept bursting out from the corner of her eyes – her man had just been killed brutally in front of her.
Killing, killing without stopping. During this day, Ye Chen had killed more than two thousand beasts so far which were way more than what the rest killed combined. The intense killing vibe even scared a couple of low rank beasts away. Even rank 4 beasts could not help but shiver around him.
Within only fifteen minutes, the battle had already finished.
Thousands of beasts had died, and on the other side only two hundred people had died. It was only because Ye Chen had an extremely fast killing speed. Otherwise, no one there would be alive by now.
“Let’s go! Faster! Let’s try to get to Yellow Mountain Town before sunset.”
Among the group, Ye Chen was no doubt the leader. Everyone who had heard him stopped crying over their dead love ones’ bodies, grabbed the old people and kids and started their journey again.
That Late Condensing Reality Realm warrior sighed loudly, “The beast wave is so scary. So many people had died in such a short time.”
Putting the Star Scar Sword in its scabbard, Ye Chen said with a deep voice,” Let’s not start mourning yet. Once the beast wave really starts, then there will be more than ten thousand people dying at a time. All we could do is try to protect the village people until we reach the city. Then we could use the city river as a blockade until the beast wave dies off.”
“Yah, it will be safer with the city river.”
The sun was about to set. The beasts’ roar came from different directions.
In the distance, the group could see that Yellow Mountain Town standing on the land.
“We are almost there. Let’s go a bit faster!” The big man standing right next to Ye Chen yelled, but one could hear the tiredness in his voice.
Ye Chen took a glance at the huge man and the rest of those Condensing Reality Realm warriors, and was quite impressed. Most of the warriors who was traveling past them did not want to be stuck with the village people, because they were too slow. Only these good-hearted people decided to help without thinking about themselves. During a couple of fights, half of the warriors were eaten by the beasts, and the rest of them were all wounded. Some of them were already disabled.
Ye Chen could not help but ask,” Why did you decide to stay and help them? If you just ran, you could totally have made it to the city or the town by now.”
The big man asked back,” Then why did you stay? I remember when I first joined, it was only you protecting the village people.”
“I am a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, if I could help, why not?”
“Hehe, although I am not as powerful as you, but I was thinking the same. And I believe it was the same for them.” The big man took out a cloth and started cleaning his blade that was no longer sharp.
Soon, they had reached the Yellow Mountain Village.
“Great! Another Clasping Yuan Realm warrior!” When the city gate opened, a twenty-two-year-old young man welcomed Ye Chen.
