"Good, good!" Seeing his two students so formidable, Guo Qingrong exclaimed excitedly. He was at the Profound Level in cultivation, but when it came to killing Fierce Beasts, he was far less efficient than Fang Chong and Ai Xi.
As long as Fang Chong and Ai Xi kept up their performance, they would definitely earn an international Star Guardian Rank.
At the same time, Wang Qiusheng of the Pu Hai Security Department, leading eight people, hadn’t charged up before they got wrapped up by a group of Fierce Beasts.
This group of Fierce Beasts was mainly composed of Mutated Jaguars and Mutant Horned Dogs, amounting to a hundred in total.
They were surrounded by this group of Fierce Beasts because Wang Qiusheng lacked experience. When he saw these Fierce Beasts attacking several Guard Soldiers, he immediately wanted to lead his people straight through to break the encirclement.
He didn’t expect that these Fierce Beasts were so strong; in just a short time, they had killed several soldiers, and now Wang Qiusheng’s group of nine had delivered themselves right into the encirclement of hundreds of Fierce Beasts.
Realizing his mistake, an anxious Wang Qiusheng shouted, "Everyone back to back, show no mercy; killing one makes it worth it, killing two is a profit."
Who would hold back at a time like this?
Each person crazily pulled out their knives to chop at the attacking Fierce Beasts, and as for the Infiltration Explosion Long Spear, there wasn’t even a chance to fire.
Qu Yi watched the bloody scene before her, her face pale. Although this wasn’t her first experience, facing it again was still unbearable.
"Ah!" A scream came from Yuan Lutong not far away.
Qu Yi had just seen her companion’s arm get bitten off when a giant Mutated Jaguar pounced toward her.
Qu Yi hurriedly released a Wind Blade. After receiving the elemental power stone from Dou Qingzhi, she had become a true Level 4 gene cultivator.
Her status as a Level 4 gene cultivator was different from that of Fang Chong and Ai Xi. She had a gene spiritual root for cultivation, and her Cultivation Technique, the Luo Shijin, was far stronger than the Qianluo Gene Technique.
By Level 4, her foundation was solid, and her elemental power was profound.
A Wind Blade Skill from such a Level 4 gene cultivator, facing a Mutated Leopard not even at Level 1, only resulted in a splash of blood in the air, splitting the leopard in two.
After killing a Fierce Beast, Qu Yi seemed to adapt quite a bit. She couldn’t care less about how many Mutated Fierce Beasts were ahead of her, continuously launching Wind Blades, one after another.
The mournful cries of Fierce Beasts rose in waves; in a short time, a pile of a dozen Mutated Fierce Beasts built up before Qu Yi.
Qu Yi became calmer and more composed, and though her face grew paler, her Wind Blade Skill was no longer recklessly launched, but instead layered, in waves.
Compared to the past where she couldn’t even stand the sight of blood, she was rapidly growing amidst this slaughter, gaining more and more experience in killing Fierce Beasts.
Qu Yi also knew that if she showed any mercy, she would be devoured by Fierce Beasts the next moment.
Fierce Beasts were not fools; they soon learned to avoid Qu Yi, recognizing her as a tough nut to crack.
But at this moment, Qu Yi, following the direction in which the Fierce Beasts avoided her, hacked her way through. As a Level 4 gene cultivator, dealing with these Genetic Beasts that were at most Level 1 felt no different than slicing through melons and vegetables.
Soon, an unusual sight appeared— a group of Genetic Beasts circling and attacking a few people.
In other places, attacking Fierce Beasts wouldn’t circle around; they would charge straight in.
Only in this one spot, partly because the Fierce Beasts were circling as they attacked, those being attacked faced far less threat.
And behind this group of Fierce Beasts was a young woman continuously making gestures with both hands. The beasts circled as if to avoid her.
After the initial panic and discomfort, Qu Yi grew calmer, and her complexion was slightly better than before.
Thinking of what these Fierce Beasts had done before, countless soldiers guarding their homeland had died under their jaws and claws.
Behind these slain soldiers, how many families were shattered? How many wives, children, and parents waited? Her heart’s most beautiful scenery had been mercilessly slaughtered by the Fierce Beasts.
Thinking of this, Qu Yi’s actions became more ruthless, and her eyes grew more resolute.
The Fierce Beasts knew to avoid her, indicating intelligence.
The Fierce Beasts knew she was formidable but also didn’t dare to flee, suggesting that Commander Dou was right; behind this group of Fierce Beasts was a more powerful Great Fierce Beast with intelligence.
They didn’t dare to escape because this Great Fierce Beast was watching from behind.
Wang Qiusheng, with his pressure eased, looked back and finally understood the situation.
Watching Qu Yi single-handedly reap the Fierce Beasts like wheat, he roared with excitement, "Everyone follow Qu Yi, take out your Infiltration Explosion Long Spears and attack."
Because the strength of the attacking Fierce Beasts diminished, at Wang Qiusheng’s call, everyone understood the situation and took their Infiltration Explosion Long Spears from their backs and opened fire.
Qu Yi alone had killed seventy to eighty Fierce Beasts. Now, with Wang Qiusheng organizing the others to act systematically, the remaining twenty to thirty Genetic Beasts were quickly slaughtered.

Looking at the blood on her own body, Qu Yi took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.
Before coming to the human corridor defense line, she had prepared herself mentally. She was well aware that once she came here, she would eventually have to face these endless, terrifying Fierce Beasts.
Today was just the beginning. Perhaps in the future, she would kill even more Fierce Beasts.
As long as these Fierce Beasts continue their slaughter of humanity, her own killing will not stop.
"Qu Yi, thank you. The thing I’m most grateful for is telling Director Dou about you and bringing you to the Security Department.
Without you, I, Wang Qiusheng, would be the sinner of the Security Department, and none of the brothers following me today would make it back," said Wang Qiusheng, his voice filled with strong gratitude.
"Governor Wang, this is what I should do. When I came, I had already decided to contribute some of my strength to the defense line of the human corridor," Qu Yi calmed herself and spoke slowly.
"Qu Yi, from now on we will follow your lead. You tell us how to act, and we will do it," Wang Qiusheng completely let go of his dignity as a Governor.
Qu Yi was about to refuse when she saw one soldier after another being torn apart or bitten to death by the Fierce Beasts. Even those who had come with them kept falling.
She quickly said, "Governor Wang, let’s support our way through like this, what do you think?"
She had no special methods, but she felt her strength could easily crush these Fierce Beasts. In that case, it would be better to simply roll over them.
"Good," Wang Qiusheng immediately agreed.
Wang Qiusheng clearly saw Qu Yi’s strength. This close-quarters Fierce Beast killing power was far more effective than guns.
The Infiltration Explosion Long Spear was formidable, but against a Level 1 Genetic Beast, it could no longer kill with a single shot. If they couldn’t kill with one shot, these Genetic Beasts always managed to take a few down with them.
That wasn’t even the most affected aspect, the deadliest part was that the Infiltration Explosion Long Spear couldn’t go full firepower at close range.
With many Genetic Beasts and soldiers engaged in close combat, indiscriminate attacks from the Infiltration Explosion Long Spear would inevitably lead to a significant number of casualties.
A Genetic Beast might not be greatly affected by a shot, but once a soldier was hit, it would be dangerous.
Seeing Wang Qiusheng agree, Qu Yi immediately charged towards a group of soldiers surrounded by Fierce Beasts.
With the Wind Blade cast to the outer ring, the lethality was even greater.
Groups of Genetic Beasts were killed by Qu Yi, and some cowardly beasts no longer dared to face Qu Yi and tried to escape alone.
For these isolated beasts, someone would immediately blow their heads off with a shot. If one shot didn’t do it, they shot again.
Those saved by Qu Yi and the Pu Hai Security Department joined Qu Yi’s team once more, then plunged into the next group of Fierce Beasts.
It was like rolling a snowball; Qu Yi’s team was growing larger, while the groups of Genetic Beasts were dwindling.
The combat squads from Da Han Yi Academy in the distance were adopting nearly the same strategy.
Fang Chong and Ai Xi led the charge, with the rest following behind them, also beginning to encircle and kill these Genetic Beasts.
It might have been challenging at first, but as the team grew larger, the Genetic Beasts’ strategy of division and enclosure was disrupted.
...
The battle command center for the human corridor defense line.
A man with a beard frowned as he stared at the slaughter outside. He was Zheng Fang, the primary battle commander of the human corridor defense line.
He knew something was wrong this time.
Standing by his side was a Caucasian military officer, the wartime staff officer Kendi of the human corridor defense line.
Kendi also wore a grave expression, "Commander Zheng, I feel something’s off about this Fierce Beast Tide, it’s a death-defying rush at the human corridor defense line.
Once our top is breached, the soldiers responsible for interception will likely be slaughtered, and we’ll have no choice but to engage the Fierce Beasts in face-to-face combat."
Everyone understood that once it came to hand-to-hand combat with the Fierce Beasts, the disadvantage was far too great.
"I know. That Fierce Beast keeps sending out attack signals. Usually, at this point of death, they would have retreated. Now they’re still charging into the defensive line without care for their lives, there’s definitely a problem," Zheng Fang nodded in response.
The rest of the people in the command center furrowed their brows, trying to think of a solution. It wasn’t the first time Fierce Beasts had rushed onto the corridor’s defensive line, but such a disregard for death had never been seen before.
One must know that for a Fierce Beast to reach the defensive line, at least a hundred Fierce Beasts must first fall to the artillery shells.
And that required a large number of Flying Fierce Beasts to lead the way, which, to the Genetic Beast swarm, were the most precious.
"Our defense line has problems. Without the guardianship of top-level powerhouses, this defense line will eventually be broken," someone pointed out the key issue.
Zheng Fang sighed. Since Zhong Chi, Hua Xia’s number one powerhouse, went missing three months ago during a siege of Fierce Beasts, the human corridor defense line had become increasingly dangerous.
"Commander, look over there," an abrupt voice interrupted Zheng Fang, who was in the midst of strategizing.
When Zheng Fang saw Qu Yi leading a group of people, cutting through the beasts like slaughtering chickens, he was also stunned.
"Which academy is this from? So formidable?" Zheng Fang muttered to himself.
