Chapter 52: Imminent Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The giant Proboscis Beast was still screaming in pain on the ground. Lin Feng held the saber in his hand, but he was panting heavily. He was indeed uninjured in this battle, but even with his endurance, he could vaguely feel that he could not hold out much longer. This was enough to show how intense

the battle was.

A dire beast king was not that easy to deal with. Moreover, there were two other dire beast kings apart from the giant Proboscis Beast!

As the giant Proboscis Beast was injured by Lin Feng’s slash, the hedgehog-like dire beast king and the dire beast king like a giant worm also charged over in a frenzy.

“Be careful.”

Yu Shan and the others reminded Lin Feng from the back. They realized that they actually could not interfere in a battle like this anymore. Yu Shan thought himself to be one of the best among martial artists in Dragon Mountain Base, and he was even top three on the merit rankings.

But now, in such a battle, even interfering was difficult. Could Lin Feng hold out?

In reality, Yu Shan wasn’t the only one who was worried. Even Lin Feng himself was uncertain. When he fought the giant Proboscis Beast just now, he actually took some advantages. In pure compet.i.tions of strength, he wasn’t afraid of anyone, even dire beast kings.

However, not all dire beast kings were like that giant Proboscis Beast, which used purely brute force.

The hedgehog-like dire beast king had spikes on its body that were even sharper than the toughest battle saber. As the dire beast king ran, these spikes stabbed towards Lin Feng as soon as it approached him.

The overwhelming shower of spikes were so fast that even Lin Feng could not see their trajectories clearly. No matter how fast his Lightning Arc Saber Technique was, how could it possibly cut down so many spikes at once?

Even though Lin Feng’s battle saber danced into a blur to s.h.i.+eld his entire body, some sharp spikes still struck Lin Feng’s body. Lin Feng’s physique was very strong, but his opponent was a dire beast king. The special ability unleashed by a dire beast king was something that no one but inhuman experts

could withstand.

Lin Feng retreated more than ten steps in a row. His body was already riddled with holes. Blood slowly seeped out. In the blink of an eye, he was already covered in blood.

Fortunately, Lin Feng’s physique was very strong. Although he was injured, he did not lose his combat ability. Moreover, his extraordinary physique possessed a certain degree of restorative ability, so his injuries would not worsen.

As the hedgehog dire beast’s attack dealt Lin Feng a heavy blow, the dire beast that looked like a huge worm behind it also came before Lin Feng. Lin Feng felt a strong sense of threat from this dire beast king.

Of the three dire beast kings, this giant fleshworm dire beast was definitely the strongest.

As expected, the fleshworm dire beast arrived in front of Lin Feng and spat out a ball of white froth. Lin Feng was startled. The white froth had astonis.h.i.+ng corrosive properties. As soon as it was spat out, it emanated a disgusting stench.

“Three Spiral Forces!”

Lin Feng did not care about his injuries anymore. All three Spiral Forces in his body erupted. At this moment, he held nothing back. More than 32 tons of strength was gathered on the saber in his hand.

“Slas.h.!.+”

The astonis.h.i.+ng blade of light slashed directly at the fleshworm dire beast. This ma.s.sive dire beast was like a mountain of flesh. Before it, Lin Feng appeared tiny.

As he unleashed more than 32 tons of strength and slashed hard towards the dire beast’s “abdomen” with the sharp saber, he felt as if he had struck a ball of cotton, with the force landing nowhere.

In fact, there was only a shallow wound with blood.

“Roar…”

However, the fleshworm dire beast must be in a lot of pain. It growled and the tentacles on its body came to life. They waved like arms as they smashed towards Lin Feng in an overwhelming manner.

“Three Spiral Forces!”

Lin Feng was exhausted from dealing with it right now. He unleashed three Spiral Forces again and again, but he could only barely withstand the attacks of the tentacles from this fleshworm dire beast.

Snip.

Sometimes, Lin Feng could sever the tentacles of the fleshworm dire beast with a single slash. These tentacles were even rolling on the ground, but they quickly turned into a puddle of mush, looking very disgusting.

However, the strange thing was that every time Lin Feng chopped off the tentacle, the fleshworm dire beast would only go berserk for a short moment, but it would grow back again very quickly. It did not seem to have much of an effect.

“Limb regeneration?”

Lin Feng thought of a possibility. In the past, some dire beasts had certain special abilities which allowed regeneration of broken limbs. Even if their limbs were chopped off, they could quickly regrow.

The fleshworm dire beast obviously had similar abilities. If he continued to fight with the fleshworm dire beast, the gains would not make up for the losses. Lin Feng would be exhausted to death.

After all, every time Lin Feng unleashed three Spiral Forces, it was a huge burden on his body. Under normal circ.u.mstances, he could only unleash three Spiral Forces a dozen or so times. Now that he was injured, it would probably be very difficult for him to even unleash Spiral Forces for ten times.

Once it exceeded the limit, it would cause a backlash, and his body would collapse from the inability to withstand it. However, if he didn’t unleash three Spiral Forces and just unleashed one or two Spiral Forces, he wouldn’t be unable to withstand the attacks of the fleshworm dire beast at all.

Hence, Lin Feng was now in a dilemma, and the situation was critical. The hedgehog dire beast had actually joined the battle. Lin Feng could receive a fatal blow from the two dire beast kings at any time.

At this moment, Yu Shan and the others could also see the danger Lin Feng was in.

Shui Yuansheng smiled wanly and said, “If we can still move, we can still manage to hold off that porcupine dire beast at the bare minimum. That will also reduce the pressure on Lin Feng. If we stall for more time, we might be able to wait until the tide of the battle tums around.”

“I’s very unlikely. These dire beasts definitely have a thorough plan for this decisive battle. Look, even those inhuman experts are trapped in a tough battle and can’t provide reinforcements to us.”

Gao Tianci might seem like a brutish powerhouse, but he was actually very meticulous. He was also observing the battle between those inhuman experts and the demons. Unfortunately, even though the Chief Commander was fighting himself, the battle was obviously still going to last for some time.

a.s.sisting them was even more out of the question.

They were not the only ones in danger. Even those inhuman experts were in danger.

Yu Shan gritted his teeth and said, “I’l go up and hold off a dire beast king.”

Thus, Yu Shan leaped forward and used his agile movement techniques to charge towards the hedgehog dire beast. He wasn’t hoping to defeat the hedgehog dire beast, and only hoped to keep it occupied.

However, the hedgehog dire beast was incredibly ferocious. The spikes on its back seemed infinite. Once they erupted, they flew towards Yu Shan densely, like a closely-woven net

Yu Shan kept dodging, but he was still unable to avoid all of them and was struck by spikes. Fortunately, they did not hit his vital points. However, he had lost his combat ability, and failed to so much as inconvenience that hedgehog.

Only then did Yu Shan feel some regret. He had always believed he was very strong back at Dragon Mountain Base, but when faced with these dire beast kings, he finally realized just how weak he was.

Lin Feng unleashed Spiral Forces again and again. In a short amount of time, he had already unleashed them for more than ten times. His skin had become completely cracked, and his entire figure was doused in blood. Right now, he was holding out with sheer willpower alone.

“Three Spiral Forces!”

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and unleashed three Spiral Forces again. Instantly, crackling sounds appeared in his body. A sweet tang rose to the back of his throat, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

His strength was completely depleted. This was already Lin Feng’s limit. He could no longer unleash three Spiral Forces anymore. In fact, he had already lost his combat ability, just like Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, and Yu Shan.

“Forget it, forget it. We’ll also be dying heroic deaths this time.”

“Brother Lin Feng, there’s no need to persist anymore. Come back. You’ve already done enough. Worse comes to worst, we’ll die together!”

“Brother Lin Feng, I wish I had known you earlier as Shui Yuansheng. However, dying together today makes us more or less fire-forged friends. There’s no injustice in that.”

At this moment, Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, and Yu Shan had already given up resisting, They knew that Lin Feng could no longer hold out. Death was imminent for the four of them..
