Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Breakthrough
Seconds ticked by. When the red monster tide entered optimal firing range, Bakaen roared at the top of his lungs.
"Brothers! For the glory of the Third Legion, give ’em hell! Fire!"
BANG! BANG!
The Earth Bear tanks opened fire, their heavy machine guns unleashing a frantic barrage.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
The charging Blood Breath Beasts were riddled with holes and blown to smithereens.
The surviving Blood Breath Beasts pressed their charge through the hail of fire, only to crash into the Earth Bear tanks and be mercilessly crushed.
The vast monster tide crashed against a dam, a torrent of steel that brought their advance to a dead stop.
"Good, hold the line! Don’t let a single one of these bastards break through and interfere with the Vice Legion Commander!"
Bakaen roared to his men.
Just then, Qian Luobing arrived with Eric and the others in tow.
"What’s the situation?"
Qian Luobing asked Bakaen, her voice cold.
"Not good. We’re holding them for now, but we’ll be in trouble if this drags on."
Bakaen wasn’t blindly confident.
"I see."
Qian Luobing gazed into the distance.
The battlefield was at a stalemate. Wave after wave of Blood Breath Beasts surged forward, only to be held back by the torrent of steel.
Just as Bakaen and his men thought they had them contained, the red tide of monsters suddenly parted, forming a path down the middle.
Lord Level Xue Li emerged from the horde, step by step. It stood at the forefront of the tide, exuding a powerful aura.
"It’s Lord Level Xue Li!"
Adika’s face fell.
Xue Li then opened its mouth and let out a heaven-shattering roar.
Then it led the charge, heading straight for the defensive line Bakaen had established.
"Commander Bakaen, the monster boss is charging!" Zhou Yi shouted in alarm.
"Concentrate fire! Stop it!"
Sensing extreme danger, Bakaen immediately gave the order.
The Earth Bear tanks swiveled their turrets.
BANG! BANG!
Shells and a dense rain of bullets flew toward Xue Li.
Xue Li dodged with blinding speed, moving like an afterimage.
The shells exploded all around it, and only a few bullets from the dense barrage even struck its body. The effect was negligible; they failed to even scratch its dark red, keratinous hide.
"Dammit! You’re not getting through! Go!"
Bakaen roared.
Two Earth Bear tanks charged side-by-side toward Xue Li.
A ferocious expression crossed Xue Li’s face. It roared and leaped into the air, landing between the two charging Earth Bear tanks. With a single swipe of its claw, it sent the tank on the left flying. It then spun and swatted the right-hand tank away with its other claw.
The two Earth Bear tanks crashed to the ground like shot puts.
Adika and the others watched, stunned.
Just then, a third Earth Bear tank rolled up, swiveled its turret, and fired on Xue Li at point-blank range.
BANG!
The shell was a direct hit.
BOOM!
A massive explosion billowed outward.
"We got it!"
Many of the soldiers cried out in joy.
But when the smoke cleared, Xue Li’s body was revealed to have suffered only minor skin damage, which was already rapidly healing.
"What the...!"
The driver inside the Earth Bear tank stared, his jaw hanging open.
Xue Li charged forward, grabbed the tank’s cannon with its claws, and sent the entire vehicle flying.
Suddenly, a heavy transport truck accelerated, charging straight for the monster. A man in military uniform with a scar on his jaw screamed from the driver’s seat.
"You bastard, die!"
"Chen Ke!"
Bakaen cried out, his voice cracking.
The heavy transport truck slammed into Xue Li, detonating the explosives packed inside.
BOOM!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted, the massive shockwave sweeping across the battlefield.
’That has to have killed it!’
But then a horrifying scene unfolded: Xue Li walked out of the flames. Its body was charred and festering, but it was already regenerating at a terrifying rate.
Bakaen and the others could only stare, dumbfounded. This was beyond anything they had ever conceived.
Xue Li then shot toward the defensive line with incredible speed. It vaulted over the tanks and landed among the soldiers in the rear, beginning a frantic slaughter with its claws as it headed straight for Qian Luobing’s group.
"Dammit! Stop it at any cost!"
Bakaen roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Soldiers swarmed in from all sides, laying down a hail of frantic fire on Xue Li.
Xue Li suddenly opened its mouth, took a deep breath, and spewed out a thick red mist.
The red mist instantly enveloped the surrounding soldiers.
"AHHH!"
The attacking soldiers let out piercing screams as their bodies were instantly carbonized by the extreme heat.
Then, with unstoppable momentum, Xue Li charged toward Qian Luobing and her group.
"Damn it! Miss, fall back! Quickly!"
Bakaen yelled, his face pale with fright.
"Order the men to pull back and clear a path. Let it come to me!"
A cold glint flashed in Qian Luobing’s eyes as she issued the order.
"This... Yes, ma’am!"
Hearing this, Bakaen could only grit his teeth and obey.
The soldiers immediately ceased their attempts to block it.
Like a sharp blade, Xue Li shot toward Qian Luobing.
With a furious roar, Eric charged head-on at Xue Li like a giant, swinging his alloy Giant Hammer in a brutal downward smash.
Xue Li raised a sharp claw and swiped to meet the blow.
CLANG!
The alloy Giant Hammer and the claw collided, making the very air tremble.
The two combatants were brought to a standstill.
’Damn, he’s strong!’
Adika and the others were shocked by the Power Eric had just unleashed.
Just then, Qian Luobing rushed in from the side.
Sensing the danger, Xue Li’s Power erupted. With one furious swipe, it sent Eric flying.
BAM!
Eric shot backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground.
Although his presence in the Butcher armor was comparable to Rein’s, the disparity in their actual strength was immense—especially since Rein had also taken a Type I Genetic Potion.
Next, Xue Li opened its cavernous, bloody maw and snapped at Qian Luobing.
Qian Luobing sidestepped, dodging the bite. Closing the distance, she slashed at Xue Li, carving a ghastly wound into its body.
Enraged, Xue Li spun and swiped with its claw.
Qian Luobing leaped back, dodging the attack.
Adika and the others seized the opportunity to unleash a volley of attacks on Xue Li.
Shells, grenades, and a hail of bullets rained down on and around Xue Li.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
A large swath of skin was blasted from Xue Li’s body, but a second later, the wound began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
’That regeneration speed... it’s insane!’
Eric shook his head clear and staggered to his feet, stunned by what he was seeing.
Xue Li opened its mouth and roared. Behind it, the tide of Blood Breath Beasts went into a frenzy, madly charging the defensive line.
Seeing this, Qian Luobing immediately gave an order to Bakaen.
"Bakaen, leave this to us! Go and hold the line! Don’t let the horde break through!"
"Yes, ma’am!"
Bakaen immediately accepted his orders and departed.
Qian Luobing then raised the mechanical blade in her hand and said coldly.
"Eric, you’ll assist me. Draw its attention from the front!"
"Understood!"
Eric replied grimly.
Xue Li’s blood-red eyes were fixed on Qian Luobing and the others. It bared its teeth and let out a low growl.
Just as Qian Luobing and Eric were about to charge...
A sudden CLANK, CLANK came from behind them. It was the sound of heavy footsteps. Immediately following it, a crimson aura surged forth.
