Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 452 - 426: Effortlessly Slaying a Legend
On the second day, Feng Hansong went to Pingzhou.
However, Chen Shouyi stayed just one more day than him, and was also urgently dispatched to Pingzhou.
Only Qin Liuyuan remained to continue overseeing affairs in Hedong. Fortunately, the cleanup of barbarians in Hedong City was nearing its end, making the situation more relaxed.
Chen Shouyi got off the helicopter.
The air was thick with choking smoke, and everywhere he looked lay ruins of walls and broken buildings.
Each crater looked like the surface of the Moon.
"This is near the spatial passage!" an accompanying officer introduced: "It has now been occupied by us!"
Chen Shouyi nodded.
The military’s goal was clearly to annihilate the barbarians of Pingzhou completely, with no intention of allowing even one to return to the other world.
Passing a building with no windows, inside were densely packed tents. Many refugees stood by the windows, their expressions either sorrowful or numb, and the sound of crying came from within.
In times of chaos, human life is worth less than a dog’s.
In war, human lives are just numbers!
Chen Shouyi sighed and then averted his gaze.
Next, he went to the command post to report in, and then joined the battlefield.
...
Barbarians, Pingzhou was filled with barbarians everywhere.
Many barbarians seemed to realize that escape was hopeless and began to go berserk, killing anyone they saw.
The thick smell of blood lingered over the entire city, with bodies of humans or barbarians scattered on the ground.
The sound of gunfire was like a boiling pot of thick porridge, violently rumbling.
It was Chen Shouyi’s first time stepping onto a battlefield, and the intense smell of blood churned his stomach, taking a long time for him to get used to it.
Compared to the high-intensity war here, the war over in Hedong could only be described as counter-terrorism level, just on a larger scale.
This was the real war.
A complete meat grinder.
Along the road, a large number of injured were urgently being evacuated to the field hospitals in the rear.
However, more corpses remained on the front lines.
On the frontline, after walking less than one kilometer, he encountered seven barbarians exposed, which he shot down with arrows.
His skill bolstered his courage, and he traversed through the front lines without pause, directly into the depths.
The barbarians began appearing in groups, attacking in succession upon seeing Chen Shouyi.
However, this was just courting death.
Quickly slain by Chen Shouyi, he left behind body after body. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
...
The winter sun shone with feeble light.
It was now December, and the weather was getting colder. Even on sunny days, the temperature was around minus ten degrees.
Chen Shouyi walked down the deserted street, his tattered clothes soaked with fresh blood. The sword in his hand constantly dripped with blood, but steam emitted from his body, radiating scorching heat.
He had spent the whole morning, not knowing how many barbarians he had killed, likely two or three hundred.
He touched his stomach: "Getting kind of hungry, should have brought some demigod meat!"
Demigod meat contains vast energy, and just a few pounds are enough to support a day of intense fighting.
Just then, he sensed something, looking up with a slightly cold expression.
A tall, strong barbarian wearing animal skins was walking slowly toward him.
He had no weapons, empty-handed.
At 2.3 to 2.4 meters tall, he resembled a small giant, yet his massive body was not clumsy at all, rather extraordinarily nimble. He walked as if skimming over water, his body carrying a unique rhythm.
Every exposed part of his body, including his face, was covered with dense mysterious totems, like a heavy tattoo enthusiast.
But these tattoos were not for decoration.
As he approached, the phantoms of three fierce beasts appeared behind him, and the air on his body surface began to refract and distort.
God of Hunting’s totem warrior, he had seen many and killed many, but a three-fierce-beasts barbarian was a first for him, and the energy emanating from him clearly indicated he was a legendary barbarian.
Chen Shouyi’s relaxed demeanor immediately became more focused, his heart starting to excite.
Finally encountered a worthy opponent!
Since reaching the human limit, he had been itching to test his strength, but the barbarians encountered along the way were too weak, with the strongest being slain with a single sword.
"Human, you are strong, but your life ends here, consider it an honor! I will twist off your head as my trophy." He grinned menacingly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Is that so?" Chen Shouyi said coolly, tossing his bow aside: "Your daddy, the God of Hunting, said the same before, but ended up fleeing like a ’dog’!"
"Courting death!" The barbarian’s face twisted with rage. Seeing Chen Shouyi’s body rapidly expand, he sensed something amiss and quickly accelerated, the concrete ground cracking underfoot, sending rubble flying everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, he closed the fifty meters.
During the last ten meters, he leaped into the air, elbow striking with concentrated air like a cannonball, piercing toward him forcefully.
As Chen Shouyi was about to dodge, one of the fierce beasts behind the barbarian suddenly bellowed at him.
Suddenly, he felt slightly tired, his movements faltering momentarily, and hurriedly blocked with both arms!
"Boom!"
A thundering explosion echoed, instantly shattering the windows of adjacent buildings.
Chen Shouyi’s arms went numb from the impact, his face flushing red, his feet driven into the concrete pavement up to his ankles by the force.
The opponent’s power was estimated at five tons. If he hadn’t transformed halfway, this hit might have fractured his arms.
Landing after the strike, the barbarian noticed the opponent’s massive body now towering over even him, his face changing, instantly closing in again, aiming a punch at Chen Shouyi’s chest. In that split second, Chen Shouyi smirked, swiftly dodging while drawing his sword to slash at his chest.
The opponent’s reaction speed was equally astonishing, his body leaning back to avoid the sword tip, only to feel a chill at his chest.
An invisible force cut across his chest in an instant.
Almost slicing open a third of his chest cavity.
Now Chen Shouyi’s sword Qi was already thirty centimeters; carelessness meant instant death!
Startled, the barbarian’s action did not pause in the slightest, taking advantage of the attack’s gap, closing in swiftly, twisting his waist to kick at Chen Shouyi, the air exploding under the kick. Meanwhile, another illusory fierce beast silently roared again.
The original force in the space was subtly manipulated, and Chen Shouyi’s body was suddenly covered with frost.
Unfortunately, this was Earth.
A temporary freeze at minus fifty or sixty degrees did nothing to him.
He sneered.
Don’t think you’re the only one with abilities!
He thought:
"Air Imprisonment!"
The opponent’s movements stalled slightly.
Taking advantage of this gap, his massive body moved like the wind, his right foot stomping forcefully, all his strength converging as he lunged forward in an archer’s stance, like an arrow, instantly striking the barbarian’s head.
"Boom!"
A shockwave spread out.
His head was directly blown apart, brain matter and blood splattering the ground, his body blown backward by the wind from Chen Shouyi’s massive form, landing heavily after flying a meter or two.
Only at this point did his giant transformation complete fully.
Chen Shouyi shook his head: "Too weak!"
Then quickly returned his body to normal.
Last time against a legendary barbarian strongman, he exhausted all means, nearly losing his life.
But this time, although this barbarian was stronger than the last, he handled it with ease. In just a few simple moves, he killed such a strongman, not needing even to use air imprisonment, with two or three more blows it’d be over, once he completed the transformation, the opponent stood no chance.
With the terrifying force of 22 points, it was practically god-stopping and god-killing.
