Chapter 201: Beast Tide (I)

Just as Chen Yiming attacked the two bloodthirsty wolves, the news that the masked man had disguised himself and appeared in the sea of flowers, and that he was hunting the two bloodthirsty wolves, had already spread throughout the entire Jiangnan province.

Not only did the higher-ups of Jiangnan province immediately hold a meeting to discuss the matter, but all the martial arts factions in Jiangnan province were also paying close attention to the outcome of the battle at the sea of flowers.

At this time, most of the forces from the Jiangnan provincial government and the sect masters of the various large sects had gathered at the newly established stronghold in the otherworld. Only the defense force guarding the provincial capital, Jiangnan City, was left.

This defense force was the last line of defense. Without any special orders, they could only defend Jiangnan City and would not leave the city easily because of anything.

This way, the masked man who was at the peak of the warrior realm would not only influence the disputes between the various factions, but also affect the situation in the entire Jiangnan province.

In a conference room in the office area of the Jiangnan City government, “What is the true motive of this mysterious expert who doesn’t want to reveal his identity or communicate with others?”

Wang Ronghui, one of the three big shots of Jiangnan City at the peak of the warrior realm, was in charge of the safety of the provincial capital. He kept slapping the conference table with his right hand.

This mysterious expert had first appeared less than half a year ago during the incident of the beast tide that attacked East Lake City. According to the information reported back then, he was at the second stage of the warrior realm.

Since he was not at the peak of the warrior realm back then, he was not a matter of concern for the higher ups in Jiangnan province.

Then, there was the conflict with the Blue Cloud Sword Sect in Luoxi City. According to the information submitted after the incident, it was suspected that he had used a special ability to escape from the sect master of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, Li Daoyi.

At that time, because the incident did not happen in Jiangnan province, it did not attract the attention of those at the provincial level.

Finally, during the incident on Mist Island in the East Sea, according to the information gathered by all parties, he already had the combat power to suppress the sect master of the Kunshan Sect, Lu Zhenshan.

At this level, the higher ups of the Daxia Kingdom might only record the incident and continue to collect more information.

However, in a province, he was no longer someone who could be ignored. He had a certain amount of influence on the situation in a province.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups of Jiangnan province still received disappointing responses after many conversations with Mo Yanfei from the Mo clan.

“According to the information we just received, this mysterious expert wants to fight one against two and challenge two bloodthirsty wolves at the peak of the warrior realm at the same time.

This person did not care about the situation in Jiangnan province at all. It is not difficult for the three of us to join forces to defeat the two bloodthirsty wolves, but it would not be easy for us to kill them.

He’s only one person. If he fails in his challenge, what if the two bloodthirsty wolves take advantage of the lack of defense in Jiangnan province to attack the human cities to take revenge? That would be terrible.”

At the conference table, Zhang Renhou, who was also one of the three big shots of Jiangnan City, had a worried expression on his face. In his mind, he was already thinking about how to deal with this reckless act.

Now that Jiangnan province was affected by the plan to establish a new stronghold in the otherworld, the three big shots of Jiangnan City could not leave the city at will.

The three of them could already imagine the scene of citizens fleeing to Jiangnan City, the provincial capital if the two bloodthirsty wolves went on a rampage to take revenge on the humans.

Asking for help from the higher ups in charge of the nation would be very difficult, unless it was a beast tide that endangered the entire Jiangnan province. After all, the situation in each province was similar, and it was very difficult to move additional manpower over to help Jiangnan province.

“This mysterious expert is a little too brazen. If the situation in Jiangnan province is ruined because of this, who can bear the consequences? I think it’s better to issue an order through the Mo clan’s Mo Yanfei. Forbid him from making any moves without our permission at this time.”

Song Chuansheng, one of the three big shots of Jiangnan City, had an ugly expression on his face as he put forth a suggestion in a stern tone.

Wang Ronghui frowned and said seriously, “Calm down a little. The worst outcome is only what the three of us imagined. There’s no need to jump to such a conclusion. Moreover, with the current complicated situation, we don’t have the strength to coerce the other party.”

Zhang Renhou sighed and said, “That’s right. The three of us have to stay in Jiangnan City. If we offend the other party, it will only make the situation worse. There’s really no need for that.”

Among the three big shots, Wang Ronghui and Zhang Renhou were both against Song Chuansheng’s suggestion to give an order to restrict the other party’s movements.

Song Chuansheng slapped the conference table angrily, causing it to break apart.

As the higher-ups of Jiangnan province, they had never felt so aggrieved. Even the sect masters of the large sects did not dare to disobey the orders to go to the otherworld to help establish a stronghold there.

But now, this expert among the civilians was hiding his identity and had actually made the three guardians of Jiangnan City unable to do anything about him. They were completely ignored when they tried to recruit him, and Jiangnan province could not spare the manpower to bring him under their control.

It could be said that the three guardians of Jiangnan City could only watch helplessly as this person wreaked havoc. Other than ordering the major cities to be on guard, there was nothing they could do.

Challenging two bloodthirsty wolves alone?

He could only hope that the outcome would not be the worst case scenario that they had imagined.

…

In the depths of the sea of flowers, the two empty areas that were more than a kilometer long created two spaces in this place that were like forbidden zones for humans.

Looking down from the sky, one could see two wolf corpses about 50 meters long lying motionless on the ground. Their bright red blood dyed the surrounding area red for hundreds of meters.

The waists of the two wolf corpses bent abnormally, as if they had been broken by something.

The sea of flowers was originally filled with all kinds of unpredictable dangers, but the surroundings of the two wolf corpses fell into a dead silence. There were no mutant beasts around.

It was only at the periphery further away from the empty spaces that a small number of mutant plants were still alive and trembling. These mutant plants had their huge roots rooted deep underground, so they had been lucky enough to avoid the aftershocks of the battle.

At this moment, a figure in a black cloak was sitting cross-legged beside the wolf corpses.

The specks of light flowing through the wolf corpses gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared. In the end, other than their size, they were no different from ordinary wolf corpses.

These specks of light represented the essence of the blood and flesh of the bloodthirsty wolves. They had a similar effect to the willow tree cores, and they could only help Chen Yiming reduce the Skill Points needed for his Level-3 Undying Body talent.

“The requirement has been reduced by 100 Skill Points,” Chen Yiming opened his eyes and muttered under his breath.

The two bloodthirsty wolves at the peak of the warrior realm had helped him save a month’s worth of Skill Points.

Currently, he had yet to find a way to reduce the Skill Points needed to upgrade his swordsmanship talent. Therefore, he did not dare to waste the Skill Points that he had accumulated over the years. He had to leave all of them for his Level-3 swordsmanship talent.

This way, he would need to rely on hunting mutant beasts and mutant plants to obtain the Skill Points needed for his Level-3 Undying Body talent.

“The structure of the internal force fusion has increased my combat strength beyond my expectations.

Coupled with the extraordinary strength of the internal force and the huge amount of internal force I have, the 12 types of supporting internal forces were not inferior to the bloodthirsty wolves.

After barely withstanding the attack from the huge sword formed by the strength-based internal force, the bloodthirsty wolves no longer had the strength to withstand the subsequent explosion of the 12 internal forces.”

Chen Yiming stood up and glanced at the wolf corpses beside him.

An enemy at the peak of the warrior realm was no longer someone he needed to avoid. With his strongest finishing move, he could kill them in one strike.

However, the strongest finishing move that clearly showed the 12 internal force characteristics of the Myriad Phenomena Sect could only be used in private against mutant beasts and mutant plants.
