novelA Massacre by One against a Hundred
| ← Ch.127 | Ch.129 → |
Huis continued to emerge from the world passage, yet the place was eerily quiet.
A mountain-like dominating presence weighed heavily on everyone.
In the command room...
"Tiger King! It's the Tiger King!"
"Incredible!"
"Yes!"
"He killed seven in a row! Yes!"
...
After a brief period of silence, cheers were heard all over the command room.
Lieutenant General Wang broke into a triumphant smile after feeling astounded, and he pounded his clenched fist on his other palm.
"Good!"
He subdued his celebrations and immediately instructed: "Act according to the plans now! Get ready to pin down a portion of the Third Realms to ease the pressure on the Tiger King."
"Understood."
...
In the capital...
The elderly men—who were waiting in front of the monitor—stood up one by one, feeling slightly relieved.
Among the government officials and research institutes of other countries...
Their astonishment could not be contained at all.
"Oh, my god, this is...!"
"This should be that Tiger King!"
"Seven Third Realm beings died!"
"They were all at the Third Realm... was the gap really that huge?"
...
Numerous gazes at the site of the event and in front of the monitors looked intently at the figure that appeared from the golden flash with shock, excitement, and respect.
Midair, the Huis also turned to look at the figure with fear, animosity, aggression, and terror.
The remaining 90-odd Divine Body Realm Huis looked at the being that shocked them to their core with death glares.
"Who are you?"
A Hui bellowed threateningly.
Wang Hu looked coldly at the Huis and took another look at the Second Realm Huis who were still emerging from the world passage.
Seems like these 100 Huis were the ones capable of entering China.
Not that many...
A palpable iciness shot out from his eyes.
"Someone who will kill you."
After he said these four words, before the Hui could react...
Growl~!
A resounding roar sent tremors into the surroundings.
The tremor struck at the souls of these Huis, frightening them and rendering them frozen for a span of a breath.
Within this short span, the golden light shone brightly like a sun rising up the sky, and a domineering giant tiger leaped out from within.
The movement was so unbelievably fast, faster than any living being could react.
Almost like a golden spark hopping from one Hui to another.
Each time it made contact, the sharp claw penetrated their bodies and destroyed their divine elixirs, which made their bodies fall lifelessly from the sky.
In the span of a breath, the golden light flashed five times, and five different Huis fell from the sky screaming and created five huge dents on the ground.
The remaining Huis came to their senses, frightened and raging with the urge to kill.
"Kill him together!"
A Hui shouted, and he dashed towards Wang Hu. The other Huis followed suit.
Wang Hu snickered. Instead of retreating, he moved towards the attacking Huis and dived into the group of dozens of Huis.
A golden light flashed, and a claw destroyed the eyes of the Hui standing in front before it could react. By the time the Huis by the side attacked, Wang Hu already appeared in front of another Hui.
Similarly, before the certain Hui could react, a claw attacked.
Growl~!
The Huis screamed in excruciating pain, and they attacked back furiously. Meanwhile, Wang Hu appeared in front of another Hui.
His sharp claws penetrated the Hui's body and smashed its divine elixir, causing the Hui's body to fall down limply.
The growls grew even more ferocious, and the Huis dashed towards Wang Hu maniacally.
However, the sounds of growling from the Huis in pain and the carcasses that kept falling from the sky made Dong Pingtao, Lieutenant General Wang, and the tens of thousands of soldiers grow increasingly less nervous.
Instead, their morale grew, and they even felt flabbergasted.
They could not see Wang Hu clearly with their eyes at all. They had to slow down the surveillance footage by a hundred times before they could see him clearly.
They could only identify a golden flash jumping in and out of the dozens of Huis.
No matter how maniacal the Huis grew or how much they worked together, they could not lay a hand on that golden flash.
Compared to the golden flash, they appeared to be foolish blocks of muscle running around in circles.
Even their long-range attacks using divine power were completely useless. Instead, they had to be cautious about hitting their own species.
"This is the strength of the Tiger King! He is so powerful!"
"Fuck! Explain why the intelligence agency said we would have many people reaching the Third Realm soon so we don't have to befriend the Tiger King?!
"Get them to look at this carefully with their blinded eyes—do those Third Realm beings even compare to the Tiger King?!
"We need to befriend the Tiger King! Submit the best proposal now! We can't let the cunning Chinese benefit solely from this relationship anymore!
"I want to see a plan for Iran to befriend the Tiger King in the shortest time possible! The Tiger King should belong to the world, not just a certain country."
...
"How strong!"
"So incredibly strong!"
"The Huis are all at Third Realm! But he fought a hundred of them by himself!"
"Why do I feel like it's not them who has surrounded the Tiger King, but Tiger King alone has surrounded them instead?"
"Same thoughts."
...
In the command room, gasps and cheers could be heard.
The highly tensed emotions that they felt for a while now were much relaxed.
So what if there were a hundred Third Realms?
They would win this battle.
"Don't bother killing those Second Realms yet. Don't interrupt the Tiger King. Wait till the Second Realms are further away from the world passage before firing.
"At the same time, the team in charge of pinning down the Second Realm Huis must not let their guards down. Always be ready to assist the Tiger King." Lieutenant General Wang instructed as he took a few deep breaths to control his excitement.
"Understood."
...
Wang Hu did not know how many people were feeling excited and thrilled over him, and he was not in the capacity to think about it.
As he fought, he felt his battle spirits increase, and he fought with even more fervor.
He concentrated all his attention and utilized the Extreme Agility Time to the maximum to increase his speed in all aspects by four times.
The increase in speed could not be described by any statistics. Everything, including the whole world, appeared slow in Wang Hu's eyes.
These Third Realms appeared as slow as snails, allowing him to travel among them freely.
No matter how furious they were, they could not deal a blow to him.
In the eyes of an onlooker, he was fast—so fast that no one was able to react, and he seemed to be in a dire predicament for being attacked by the dozens of Huis.
However, only he knew that he was very composed.
So composed that even he felt surprised.
The incredible speed coupled with the strength special ability—an increase by five times—allowed his strength to reach the level of an advanced-level Third Floor.
This made him capable of taking out these Huis—who were at most at the Fourth Floor—in one attack.
On top of that, his Tiger King's body also allowed him to make many mistakes.
Originally, he thought he required China to help him by pinning down a portion of the Huis, but now, Wang Hu did not need it at all.
He even wanted China to not interrupt him at this point.
Since the last time he fought with his full might against the peak-level Transformation Realm Hui, he felt even more exhilarating to fight at his full capacity again this time.
His blood boiled in excitement and fervor, and his fighting spirits grew stronger and stronger.
The utility of his divine power became even more efficient, and his prowess grew stronger.
He also had a deeper understanding of the White Tiger Battle Art.
The tiger species is a battle species—Wang Hu had always understood this. Tigers grew stronger through more battles.
Unfortunately, since the awakening of spiritual energy, he had no opponents to fight with.
Silly Girl was not counted as Wang Hu would not have a life-and-death duel with her.
Therefore, up till now, the frequency that he fought in battles did not even exceed that of Old Second and Old Third.
He couldn't help it since he was too strong.
Since the awakening of spiritual energy up till now, he could not find anyone worthy of being called an opponent and had been invincible so far.
At this moment, even though the hundred Huis might appear to Wang Hu as trash...
They were still capable of fighting on par with Wang Hu if they worked together, which allowed him to feel exhilaration from the battle.
It satiated his increasing urge to battle and calmed down his thirst for blood.
Roar!
Another roar shook the Earth. Despite the two Huis in front of Wang Hu having experienced it before, they were still shaken by the power in the voice.
With a blow, their two heads became smashed, and they screamed in pain as their bodies were thrown at two other Huis.
When a few other Huis came to them to help, Wang Hu had already left.
Massacre!
When carcasses of more than 30 Divine Body Realms fell and created hole after hole in the ground, many people who saw the battle thought of this word.
This was a massacre!
A massacre by one against a hundred.
Although they found it hard to believe, the truth lay before their eyes—they could only believe it.
Boom!
Just then, the Chinese fired bombs at the Second Realm Huis.
The bombings erupted and blasted the Huis flooding out of the world passage into pieces, stopping them in their tracks.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the Divine Body Realm Huis trying to kill Wang Hu died one by one.
Eventually, fear became greater than other emotions.
When more than forty Huis lay on the ground, some Huis could not hold out anymore.
"No way, he's too strong. Let's retreat."
Some Huis immediately turned around and flew towards the world passage without hesitation.
The battle formation which encircled Wang Hu instantly broke apart.
Wang Hu's brows furrowed. ?A bunch of useless trash.
He swooped towards the world passage and caught up with the few Huis nearer to him and slaughtered them once again.
Afterward, he even stood in front of the world passage and blocked it.
In the command room...
Lieutenant General Wang quickly instructed."These Huis are escaping! How can we help the Tiger King stop them from leaving?"
"Chief, it's impossible. The Tiger King is too near them, and our weapons are not able to kill these Divine Body Realms. As long as these Huis were not afraid of being injured, they could brave through our weapons and escape back into the world passage, " another officer frowned and said.
Lieutenant General Wang furrowed his brow, and he sighed in pity.
Around the world passage...
These Huis were obviously aware that this was a moment of life or death for them, and they suppressed their fear to launch an attack together.
Wang Hu tried his hardest to leave behind more Divine Body Realms.
However, most of them still managed to escape back into the world passage.
When the last Divine Body Realm Hui died under the claws of Wang Hu and bombs erupted not far away in the distance...
The area around Wang Hu at the entrance of the world passage had an unusual quietness.
A quietness that signified the end of everything.
