Chapter 105: Earth-Shattering

Chapter 105: Earth-Shattering Li Xiaofei was equally shocked to his core. The violent aura of the Grade Three star beasts was overwhelming. The sheer ferocity alone was enough to crush a person's spirit and willpower. Instinctively, he gripped his spear, ready to counterattack.

But at that moment—

Whoosh.

A flash of light darted past. A figure clad in silver battle armor suddenly appeared in front of Li Xiaofei. She paused briefly, then vanished again.

In the next instant, she reappeared on the outer wall. The silver battle armor was designed like a battle angel with three pairs of wings. The light sources flickering on the wings, shoulder guards, neck guard, back, and waist created a breathtaking sci-fi aesthetic. She stood almost parallel to the ground on the wall, defying gravity.

Swish, swish, swish.

The graceful figure left behind trails of phantom-like afterimages in the night as she moved. The battle was over in just a breath's time. The battle angel then turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the distant night sky.

The dozen or so Grade Three star beasts, the Lizardmen, were sliced into pieces as if they were cucumbers. They fell helplessly to the ground.

Li Xiaofei rubbed his eyes. He felt like he had just seen an illusion. It was too stunning. The powerful enemies had been casually slain in an instant. A fleeting glimpse of a dragon's head, and then it was gone. This was the mark of a true top-tier expert.

The battle angel armor was undoubtedly a rare, high-end piece. Anyone capable of operating such advanced battle armor had to be a renowned martial artist within the base city. A warrior in the Limit Breaking Realm couldn't possibly achieve this. Moreover, judging by the physique and the design of the armor, it appeared to be a female martial artist.

Li Xiaofei was truly astounded. These powerful beings were the very targets he strived to emulate through his cultivation. He was a martial arts enthusiast at heart. Whenever he encountered a broader world, a higher realm, or stronger individuals, he instinctively aimed to catch up and surpass them.

"President, there's movement in the distance," Chu Yuntian suddenly called out.

Li Xiaofei looked over. A dense cloud was rapidly approaching the steel city walls in the distant night sky. It was a swarm of flying star beasts. These were the type of star beasts that the Wrath of Thor cannons found difficult to intercept.

"President Li, something's wrong. You must protect the elevator entrance." The voice of the young officer Wu Junzhuang crackled over the helmet communication channel.

"Understood. As long as we're here, the elevator will be safe," Li Xiaofei replied.

There was a brief pause on the other end before Wu Junzhuang responded, "Take care."

Li Xiaofei turned his attention back to the rapidly approaching swarm, readying himself and his team for the imminent assault.

Thirty seconds later, a flock of black crow-like beasts with wingspans exceeding two meters dove towards the city walls. The battle erupted instantly.

"It's the Mole Crows."

"Watch out for their claws."

"Their wings are harder than steel blades... "

"Hold them off."

The martial artists of the Cloudy Sky Gang formed three man cells as they stood back-to-back and fended off the diving crows. Most of them had experience hunting star beasts outside the city, so they remained calm.

Li Xiaofei wielded a long spear he had chosen in the transport elevator. His most powerful technique was the Great Strength Vajra Fist. There were many similarities between fist techniques and spear techniques.

In his previous life, a master of spear techniques had once said five words, Fists are Spears Without Spears. Many fist techniques were originally derived from spear techniques. When there were no weapons, the fists and arms served as the weapons, thus forming fist techniques.

Li Xiaofei treated his long spear as an extension of his arm, transforming his fist techniques into spear techniques. He raised his spear and thrust it forward.

The spear shot out with incredible precision and power, embodying the essence of his fist technique. When the spear tip met its target, it pierced through the crow-like beast with ease, demonstrating Li Xiaofei's seamless adaptation of his martial skills to the weapon in hand.

Swish.

A diving crow was pierced through the head with a flick of his wrist.

Bang.

The crow's head exploded into a shower of blood.

"A Grade One star beast, nothing to worry about."

This one strike was enough for Li Xiaofei to accurately gauge the crows' strength.

In the next moment, he became a crow reaper. Crows were pierced wherever he went. Whenever a gang member was in danger, Li Xiaofei was there to assist. Over a hundred people firmly defended the B51 supply elevator area.

Li Xiaofei remained cautious. He knew this was not a virtual battle in the light-network world. It was the real world. Death here meant no resurrection. A single mistake could lead to a tragic end, so he did his utmost to protect himself and his fellow members.

The battle raged on for a full half-hour. The crows diving down only grew more numerous, and the Cloudy Sky Gang members began to tire.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. A piercing roar resounded from the wilderness outside the city, about several hundred miles away. A vast silver light curtain suddenly appeared, illuminating the night sky like a rising silver moon!

In the next moment, a terrifying silver sword light streaked across the sky. It was like the black sky was severed in two by this sword strike. The silver fissure lingered in the sky for a long time.

However, the beast tide, which had been relentlessly attacking the city walls, suddenly turned and fled upon hearing the piercing roar. In the blink of an eye, they vanished like a receding tide. The swarms of flying star beasts around the city walls also quickly retreated, disappearing into the night sky.

A cold wind blew. The city wall suddenly fell silent.

Clang.

A disciple of the Cloudy Sky Gang dropped his long sword, his strength spent. He collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"Rest where you are," Li Xiaofei commanded.

The disciples of the Cloudy Sky Gang all collapsed on the city wall, completely spent.

Li Xiaofei took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the now-quiet battlefield. The sudden retreat of the star beasts and the eerie silver sword light in the sky suggested that a powerful entity had intervened. He couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and awe at the display of power that had turned the tide so swiftly.

The tension kept everyone focused during the battle, but now, as the adrenaline wore off, Li Xiaofei felt utterly drained. His entire body felt numb, and he couldn't even lift a finger.

Fortunately, thanks to the military armor, none of the hundred Cloudy Sky Gang disciples had died. Most of the injuries were minor. Chu Yuntian immediately began counting heads and assessing injuries.

Li Xiaofei looked out at the distant wilderness.

That silver sword light... It was truly terrifying. What kind of powerful being could possess such an earth-shattering strength?

A thought crossed his mind.

Could it be related to that battle angel?

As this idea took hold, a piercing sonic boom suddenly echoed from the sky as a gust of wind rushed past. Before anyone could react, a silver figure descended heavily onto the city wall ten meters away. It was the same battle angel they had seen earlier.

A powerful aura radiated from her like thunder. The energy lights on the silver battle armor quickly dimmed. The originally three pairs of wings were now turned into two and a half. The once pristine silver metal exoskeleton was now marred with large patches of green corrosion pits.

She swayed on her feet like she was about to collapse. Startled, Li Xiaofei instinctively rushed over and caught her. When he had her in his arms, he caught a fleeting glimpse of a young woman's face, as stunning as an elf through the transparent visor of her silver helmet.
