Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Chapter 45 Slaying the Thunder Griffin

The Thunder Griffin launched an attack.

It is a late-stage fourth-tier beast king, the absolute overlord of this sky.

It had noticed this human long ago.

The sheer power of those blows that felled the Bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus Rex made it deeply wary.

The sight of humans slaughtering the beasts made it even more eager to run away.

But it is the king of all beasts.

Those low-level beasts are its subjects, and this human is slaughtering its subjects.

It felt that running away like this would be a slight loss of dignity.

So it hovered in mid-air, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the human.

Finally, the human unleashed a powerful attack, killing hundreds of alien beasts in one fell swoop.

But it also keenly spotted an opportunity.

The Thunder Griffin flapped its wings suddenly, and dozens of blue arcs of electricity burst forth from its feathers, emitting a blue light in the air.

Its figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, swooping down from the sky and heading straight for Ye Feng on the ground.

"Watch out!" City Lord Zhao, who hadn't yet had time to leave the city to help Ye Feng, exclaimed in alarm.

Ye Feng had noticed this fourth-tier alien beast king long ago.

He is a psychic, capable of sensing the movement of any object within a radius of 1,500 meters.

The purple-colored "Instant" ability is activated.

Ye Feng's body instantly appeared eight meters away, perfectly dodging the Thunder Griffin's attack.

boom!

The Thunder Griffin's earth-shattering strike hit the ground, sending debris flying and sparks flying everywhere.

The ground was blasted into a crater three meters in diameter and one meter deep.

"Amazing!" Ye Feng immediately used the [Lingbo Weibu] technique, instantly transforming into six shadows and disappearing into the beast horde.

The Thunder Griffin, enraged by its missed attack, flapped its wings, soared into the air, circled once, and then swooped down again.

This time, its claws were covered with even more concentrated lightning energy, and its entire forepaw was wrapped in blue electric light, like two Thor's hammers.

Ye Feng dodged again.

He possesses numerous movement techniques and the perceptual advantage of a mentalist.

This allows him to anticipate high-speed attacks.

No matter how fast the Thunder Griffin is.

In the fractions of a second before it launched its attack, Ye Feng's telekinetic perception captured all the changes in muscle contraction and energy convergence.

Those fractions of a second earlier were enough for him to dodge all attacks.

But the Thunder Griffin is, after all, a peak fourth-tier beast king.

It has a very high IQ.

After two consecutive failed dives, it changed its strategy.

Instead of aiming for a fatal blow, they used their aerial advantage to harass and attack Ye Feng from various angles, forcing him to keep moving and exhausting his stamina.

Meanwhile, the high-level beasts in the beast tide, under the command of the Thunder Griffin, began to consciously compress Ye Feng's space for maneuver.

Ye Feng smiled slightly.

"Don't you know I'm a perpetual motion machine now?"

That last attack killed over three hundred beasts, and he killed many more during his fight with the Thunder Griffin.

Now we can use the charged attack again immediately.

"Kill twenty more monsters and I can use the charged attack again!"

"I'll send you to meet that bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus Rex then."

In no time, the charged attack was fully charged.

Ye Feng deliberately began to shrink his activity range and slowed down his dodging movements, pretending that he was about to run out of energy.

He even deliberately let himself be struck on the shoulder by the Thunder Griffin's electric arc, causing his body to fall to one side.

The Thunder Griffin's vertical pupils suddenly lit up.

opportunity!

It swooped down without hesitation, and this time it was faster than ever before.

With its wings folded, its body resembled a blue cannonball, hurtling towards Ye Feng with devastating lightning energy.

Its sharp claws opened, aiming at Ye Feng's head, intending to tear this annoying human to shreds with this strike.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly.

This is what he's been waiting for.

In that instant, all the energy accumulated within Ye Feng's body erupted simultaneously.

With his mental power fully unleashed, an invisible force field spread outwards from him, pushing away all the low-level beasts around him.

His body twisted violently while out of balance, and the alloy longsword rose from below, a visible aura of energy condensing on its blade.

Charge up for a powerful strike!

launch!

This strike involved no fancy techniques; it was pure, extreme violence.

This strike didn't have the long charging time of the previous one.

Ye Feng concentrated all his accumulated energy into that blade of light.

The long sword sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp, almost piercing whistle.

The Thunder Griffin's pupils suddenly contracted; it sensed the threat of death and tried to change direction to avoid it.

But the dive was too fast and the inertia was too great; it was too late.

The sword light and lightning collided in mid-air.

boom!!!

A deafening roar shook the entire battlefield, and the shockwave spread outwards, sending all the strange beasts within a 20-meter radius flying.

Blue arcs of electricity intertwined with white flashes of light, illuminating half the sky.

After killing a fourth-tier flying beast king and fighting among the beast horde for half an hour, Ye Feng was still able to kill another fourth-tier beast king.

[Ding! Killed a Tier 4 Beast, Thunder Griffin, gaining 1000 Kill Points]

[Ding! Kill Points: 8950]

"Just how much strength is he hiding?" Zhao Jun's voice was almost a murmur.

The soldiers on the city wall could only stare in disbelief.

Everyone gaped, speechless.

Ye Feng leaned on his black and gold battle sword with one hand, panting heavily.

The charged attack consumed more energy than he had anticipated.

Even with the addition of the blue tag "Bloodlust".

This strike almost drained all the power he had accumulated within his body.

But the results were amazing.

The Thunder Griffin was slain with a single strike.

The horde of strange beasts on the battlefield showed clear signs of disintegration.

The only surviving fourth-tier beast king actually started to flee with its beasts.

Ye Feng stood still, watching the fleeing beasts, without immediately giving chase.

It's not that I don't want to pursue it, it's that I'm really tired.

Even with the restoration of the blue-colored "Bloodlust" attribute, it's still not enough.

"The blue-coded terms are still too weak!"

"Perhaps only by upgrading to the purple stat can it become a true perpetual motion machine on the battlefield!"

He glanced around at the battlefield, which was littered with the corpses of strange beasts.

They chased for nearly ten kilometers, and the number of strange beasts killed probably exceeded two thousand.

Including the achievements of Fortress No. 3, the number of alien beasts killed by him has exceeded three thousand in just one day.

Ye Feng turned around and walked towards Fortress No. 5.

Behind them lay a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

……

The gates of Fortress No. 5 slowly opened.

As Ye Feng entered the fortress, the soldiers on both sides automatically made way for him.

Their eyes held awe, admiration, and a hint of fear.

Zhao Jun, the garrison commander, personally came out to greet them.

The town garrison commander, who was in his fifties, stood in front of Ye Feng with a complicated expression.

"Major Ye," Zhao Jun's voice was a little hoarse, "Are you...are you alright?"

"It's alright," Ye Feng nodded.

"The beast tide has collapsed, and they shouldn't launch another attack anytime soon. However, the fighting at Fortress Nine is still fierce, and I need to get there as soon as possible."

Zhao Jun was taken aback: "You're going to Fortress Nine again?"

"The direction the alien beasts scattered was towards Fortress Nine. If they were to merge with the beast tide that was originally besieging Fortress Nine," Ye Feng said.

"The situation at Fortress Nine will be even worse."

"But you've already fought a tough battle, and your current condition..."

"I'm in great shape." Ye Feng interrupted Zhao Jun, his tone calm but firm. "Give me a car, and we can get to Fortress Nine in half an hour."

Zhao Jun opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

He could see that once this young man made up his mind, no one could change it.

Such a prodigy would not listen to a single word he said.

"Give him an SUV and fill it up with gas," Zhao Jun ordered his adjutant.

"Also, send the latest battle report on Fortress Nine to Major Ye Feng."

"We also need to organize an army; we must support Fortress Nine as well."

The adjutant quickly left.

Zhao Jun looked at Ye Feng again and said in a deep voice, "Major Ye, I know you are very strong, but the situation at Fortress Nine is worse than you think."

"The beast tide that besieged them numbered over 30,000, including at least five fourth-tier beast kings."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow: "Five heads?"

"Yes." Zhao Jun nodded. "And two of them are perfectly coordinated partners—a fourth-tier Shadow Wolf and a fourth-tier Crimson Tiger."

"Even a fifth-level martial artist would have a headache if these two beasts joined forces."
