Chapter 95: First Battle Against a Calamity Beast

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: First Battle Against a Calamity Beast

Red Dome District

A residential district meticulously developed by a company under the Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo, built exclusively for High-Level Martial Artists.

Inside a luxurious, three-story villa spanning over a thousand square meters.

Yue Feng was sitting on a plush sofa in the living room, a smile on his face as he scrolled through short videos.

BEEP!!

"Red alert!!"

A round, metallic red orb quickly floated over, its entire body radiating a blinding red light.

"Master, according to a scan from the satellite defense system."

"Three small Space Gates have appeared in Celestial Sea City. A Disaster Beast Tide has erupted!"

"What?"

Yue Feng, dressed in a loose-fitting Martial Arts Uniform, shot to his feet. A terrifying aura erupted from him, kicking up a fierce gale.

"Notify the other Hall Masters, as well as all Martial Artists of the Third Realm or higher in the vicinity. Have them all begin rescue operations and suppress the Disaster Beast Tide."

Yue Feng took the Combat Suit from an intelligent robot that had automatically scurried over, put it on, and picked up his Battle Saber.

"Master, notifications are already being sent!"

"Where is the closest location to me?"

Yue Feng asked as he opened the door.

"The location nearest to you is Wanda Plaza on Sea Dragon Dao, 10 kilometers away."

"Fuck, why there? Goddamn it, this was definitely premeditated."

"When I find the people behind this, I’ll slice them into a thousand pieces," Yue Feng snarled through clenched teeth.

"Give me three minutes. I hope everyone can hold on!"

"Vehicle, activate!"

BOOM!!

Above the lawn outside the villa, a red, saucer-shaped flying vehicle opened its hatch.

A murderous intent surged from Yue Feng as a terrifying, formless Energy erupted from his body. He abruptly exerted his strength.

BOOM!

He shot into the sky like a rocket, landing inside the vehicle. Alpha quickly followed beside him.

WHOOSH!!

The red vehicle shot forth like a sharp arrow, quickly disappearing over the horizon.

...

Wanda Plaza, Golden Street

Lin Qi pushed against the fleeing crowd, rushing toward Golden Street. His mind raced. ’A small Space Gate... that means the highest-level Calamity Beasts to emerge will only be Level 3.’

Space Gates were divided into three types: small, medium, and large.

Each type of Space Gate could allow Calamity Beasts of different maximum levels to pass through: Level 3, Level 6, and Level 9 (King Level), respectively.

He was currently only at the Second Realm. As long as he didn’t face a Third-Level Calamity Beast, he had a high chance of escaping.

’The same should be true for Mom and Dad.’

"HURR~~"

"AHH!!"

BANG!!

A torrent of screams caught Lin Qi’s attention. He had arrived at Wanda Plaza.

A huge, pitch-black figure charged into a bubble tea shop, and the agonized screams of people echoed from within.

The shop was already in ruins, with tables piled up. Several neighboring stores had also been destroyed, their shattered glass stained with blood.

There were also unlucky passersby lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. Their bodies were mangled, and it was impossible to tell if they were alive or dead.

"ROAR~"

It was a massive creature, standing over one and a half meters tall. Its body was covered in a rough, hard, black hide that glinted coldly in the sunlight.

The hide was studded with sharp iron spikes. As it turned its head, two tusks could be seen curving upward from the corners of its mouth like bent giant axes, gleaming with a frosty light.

Lin Qi recognized it at a glance.

It was the most common First-Level Calamity Beast—the Iron Spike Wild Boar, a frequent subject in textbooks and exams.

As a First-Level Calamity Beast, it weighed five hundred kilograms, making it a full two sizes larger than an ordinary domestic pig!

"HURR~"

It spotted Lin Qi, its small eyes glowing with a ferocious red light as if it had just seen its prey.

It stared at the man holding the long spear, an inner desire to devour him rising up. He held a fatal attraction for it.

It let out a low roar toward the sky, its thick hooves stomping heavily on the concrete and kicking up a cloud of dust as it charged at Lin Qi.

A powerful aura erupted from it, like a G-Wagon speeding down the highway.

The two tusks by its mouth glinted menacingly, looking as if they could pierce through anything.

A foul, fishy stench mixed with the smell of blood washed over him.

In a small eatery nearby, a man peered out from behind the front counter and thought to himself upon seeing the scene:

’Why is he just standing there?’

’It’s over. That dude’s a goner!’

He shut his eyes, unable to bear watching.

Lin Qi watched the charging Iron Spike Wild Boar with a blank expression. His heart pounded violently, and blood coursed through his veins.

Upon sensing the Iron Spike Wild Boar’s killing intent, his entire body grew excited.

It was as if some primal instinct, born from his very genes, had been awakened. His Qi Blood surged, and his body grew hot.

An endless stream of power flooded every part of his body. The feeling was better than anything he had ever experienced.

SWOOSH~

The moment the Iron Spike Wild Boar’s full force was about to hit him, Lin Qi finally moved. In a flash, he dodged to the side, causing the boar’s charge to completely miss.

It continued to charge forward due to its powerful inertia.

Meanwhile, several methods of attack surfaced in Lin Qi’s mind as he suddenly swung the Black Great Spear in his hand.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his killing intent flared.

He poured all of his immense power into the greatspear. Unleashing a monumental force, he thrust it violently at the Iron Spike Wild Boar’s neck.

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique—Beng Ci!

PFFT~

In an instant, propelled by immense force, the sharp spear tip plunged into the Iron Spike Wild Boar’s soft neck.

Then he yanked it back with all his might!

Blood sprayed wildly through the air.

"HURR~~"

The Iron Spike Wild Boar, carried by inertia, stumbled another ten-odd meters before letting out a final, mournful cry. It crashed to the ground, its limbs twitching for a moment before falling completely still.

His first battle against a Calamity Beast: a one-shot kill on a First-Level Iron Spike Wild Boar.

The shop clerk hiding under the store counter was instantly dumbfounded.

"So damn strong!" he exclaimed.

At the same time, he wondered, ’Is that some genius university student? He’s too strong, isn’t he?’

Lin Qi’s expression remained calm, though the thick stench of blood made him uncomfortable.

It was his first time fighting a Calamity Beast, and a single misstep would have meant his death.

But he wasn’t nervous at all. In fact, he felt like he was just getting started; the smell of blood made his body unusually excited.

He snatched up his Thunder Horn Spear, flicked the blood off it, and started running again. He had not forgotten his goal: to save his parents.

...

On Golden Street

"HURR~"

Countless Iron Spike Wild Boars, along with even larger Calamity Beasts, were destroying the shops and buildings, charging at any group of people they could find.

The air was thick with blood, screams, fear, and the sight of corpses.

BAM! BAM!!

At the same time, Martial Artists were also fighting the Calamity Beasts.

"AHHH!"

Inside a hot pot restaurant, the scene was one of total chaos, filled with the stench of blood and the spicy aroma of hot pot base.

BAM! BAM!

Amidst a chorus of cries and sobs, Lin Zhen grabbed a chair and smashed it heavily against the Iron Spike Wild Boar in front of him.

"HURR~"

CRASH!!

The Iron Spike Wild Boar’s eyes were bloodshot. It charged, and the table in front of it was instantly pierced and shattered by its tusks.

The chair smashed against its body hadn’t harmed it in the slightest.

"Dammit!"

Lin Zhen frowned. He had no weapon. Facing a First-Level Calamity Beast bare-handed, he knew it would be incredibly difficult to kill it.

"Axia, catch!"

Fang Huiyi appeared with a fire axe in her hand and threw it over.

Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up. He caught the fire axe, charged forward fiercely, and executed a Saber Technique against the Iron Spike Wild Boar.

SQUELCH~

BOOM!

Thirty seconds later, the Iron Spike Wild Boar fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief as a worried Fang Huiyi rushed over.

"Huiyi, I’m fine. But the others...!"

Lin Zhen looked guiltily at the fallen people.

"We have to find Little Qi!" Fang Huiyi said worriedly.

"Let’s go now!" Lin Zhen nodded.

"ROAR~"

"Watch out!" Lin Zhen’s eyes suddenly widened in horror.
