Chapter 391: Chapter 206: The Anthem of Humanity is an Anthem of Courage
There were at least a thousand of these Mutant Beasts, and the weakest among them were Tier Three.
’It’s impossible to tell where they all came from!’
"Kill!"
Dressed in a training uniform from her Martial Arts Hall and wielding a Soft Sword forged from a special metal, Pei Shiqi’s body surged with scorching Gang Qi as she charged into the horde of Mutant Beasts!
SHING!
She was ruthless and decisive. With a single swing, her Soft Sword became a blur that tore through the air, instantly slaying over a dozen Mutant Beasts!
"Kill them! Kill all these bastards!"
"How dare you invade a human city! Go to hell!"
"Get a taste of our special-issue RPGs!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With Pei Shiqi and her team joining the fray, the city guards fought the Mutant Beasts with renewed vigor.
In a flash, they had slaughtered more than half of the Mutant Beasts.
Blood stained the very sky an eerie shade of red.
"Kill this woman first! Otherwise, we’ll never break through!"
Three or four Limit Breaking Level Mutant Beasts immediately surrounded and attacked Pei Shiqi.
Pei Shiqi was only at Limit Breaking Three Times. She could still hold her own against one or two Limit Breaking Level Mutant Beasts.
However, facing three or four at once was a huge strain.
In just a few moments, she was covered in gruesome wounds, some so deep the bone was visible.
"Captain, you go! We’ll hold them off for you!"
"Captain, get out of here!"
Seeing this, several of her squad members charged forward, fearless of death, to take some of the pressure off her.
However, they were no match for the Limit Breaking Level Mutant Beasts. They were instantly sent flying, crashing through and collapsing one building after another!
Just as it seemed Pei Shiqi and her team could hold on no longer...
TAP. TAP. TAP.
At that very moment, several figures slowly stepped out of the Void.
One of the figures spoke, its voice hoarse.
"Humans... such tenacious creatures."
"Nine-headed Serpent, this should be the place, shouldn’t it?"
"Yes, it’s about time. Let’s begin the sacrifice."
The moment these figures appeared...
RUMBLE—
The Limit Breaking Level Mutant Beasts that had been fighting Pei Shiqi all suddenly exploded.
A vast mist of blood filled the space between Heaven and Earth, drifting up toward the sky!
In an instant, a scene appeared in the sky, like a portrait of Hell itself—a mountain of corpses, a Blood Sea, and countless bleached bones.
The Chaotic Heaven Map!
This was the very Marvel that a Tier Nine Mutant Beast had given to the Nine-headed Serpent and the other Tier Six Mutant Beasts.
Once the Chaotic Heaven Map was unfurled, it could suppress and even control the planet’s consciousness!
It also allowed them to freely enter and exit the area it covered, ignoring all barriers!
They could even manipulate the Chaotic Heaven Map to destroy prohibitions and Barriers!
Previously, they had relied on the Chaotic Heaven Map to destroy the defensive Barriers of the human cities!
However, activating the Chaotic Heaven Map required an enormous price: a massive amount of blood!
Moreover, it had to be kindred blood—from the same origin as the one activating it.
For them, as Mutant Beasts, to activate the Chaotic Heaven Map, they had to use the blood of other Mutant Beasts as a sacrifice.
Over the past eight months, they had sacrificed nearly ninety percent of all Mutant Beasts just to barely activate the Chaotic Heaven Map!
Their goal, aside from interfering with Wang Xiao’s refinement of the planetary consciousness...
...was to use the Chaotic Heaven Map to find his location.
They planned to take advantage of this vulnerable period to kill Wang Xiao once and for all!
RUMBLE—
The heavens trembled like thunder, emitting a boundless stench of blood!
Pei Shiqi knelt on the ground, her body trembling as she stared at the figures before her.
’T-Tier Six Mutant Beasts!’
’There are nine of them!’
’How can there be so many?!’
’Why are they here?!’
A series of questions flooded Pei Shiqi’s mind.
However, even as her body trembled before these Mutant Beasts, she struggled back to her feet, refusing to retreat a single step.
Behind her were millions of ordinary civilians.
’If I retreat, what will happen to them?!’
’Even if it means death, I cannot retreat!’
Pei Shiqi gripped her Soft Sword. Her body trembled and tears streamed down her face, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground, not moving an inch.
She was afraid of Death, but she was even more afraid of running away.
’If I ran away, Master would be so disappointed in me, wouldn’t he?!’
"Heh, an ant daring to draw its sword in my presence. Commendable courage!"
One of the Nine-headed Serpent’s heads turned toward Pei Shiqi. Its vertical pupils flared with a brilliant light as it prepared to kill her with a casual strike.
However, at that very moment...
VMMMM!
A purple light suddenly emerged from the Void, shielding Pei Shiqi and blocking the brilliant attack!
"Hm? We’ve found Wang Xiao! His refinement is almost complete. Get in there and stop him, quickly!"
The eyes of a beast with the head of a great roc narrowed sharply.
It tore open a rift in Space and strode through it.
The other Tier Six Mutant Beasts followed close behind, no longer paying Pei Shiqi any mind.
They vanished in the blink of an eye.
They had only one purpose for coming here: to find Wang Xiao and kill him.
