Apple Island stronghold!
A nearly twenty-metre-high wall of earth and stone had been erected!
Many earth-ability users kept their palms pressed to the ground, continuously reinforcing it!
Yet the wall still shuddered under the relentless assault of spirit beasts outside the stronghold!
These spirit beasts were enormous, most of them gold-rank, and ferociously aggressive!
They clearly despised the humans who had invaded their territory!
On top of the wall, ranged attackers frantically bombarded the beast tide below!
Melee fighters charged and fought beneath the wall, but they were vastly outnumbered!
The scene was utter chaos!
“Brother Wei! We can’t hold! Arrange the withdrawal! These spirit beasts have gone insane!”
“We’ve been fighting for hours, spirit energy almost depleted, we won’t last much longer!”
“In this situation there’s no way to go in and rescue people!”
“Didn’t they say reinforcements were coming? Where the hell are they? Damn it! Those civilian spirit warriors all ran off to cultivate on other islands, they’re not here to help at all!”
On the wall, a bearded burly man cursed furiously. “A bunch of money-grubbing bastards! Running inside to do what? Cause trouble?”
“Why are you lot panicking? Do you think I’m a summoner? Reinforcements need time to arrive!”
“Do you think reinforcements just appear the moment you ask?”
The very next instant!
Jiang Nan’s voice rang out. “Huang Wei, right? We’re the reinforcements!”
Twenty-one figures wearing bright orange overalls abruptly materialised on top of the wall!
Huang Wei: ???
They actually showed up the second I finished speaking!
You’re making me lose face as the big brother here, you know?
Also, how the hell did you get here?
Where’s your plane?
And why is there a girl in a helmet lying motionless on the ground?
“G… great! Just the twenty-one of you? That’s not quite enough!”
Jiang Nan replied, “The rest are on their way! They’re currently riding a dragon!”
Huang Wei blanked out for a second. Riding what now?
“That’s fine then. First go plug the gaps, the situation is grim!”
“Sigh! This beast tide is too ferocious! I don’t even know if we can hold the stronghold!”
Jiang Nan grinned. “No need. It’s only a beast tide. Leave it to me!”
“Just tell the lads to cover their noses, that’ll do!”
At those words, Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao and the others turned pale with horror!
They immediately turned around, squatted on the ground, buried their faces in their knees, clamped their noses, hugged their heads, every movement perfectly synchronised!
Their bodies shook uncontrollably from fear!
Huang Wei’s face went black!
What kind of reinforcements are these? Their uniforms even say “Nursing Home Volunteer”!
Judging by how practised and uniform that movement is, you lot were probably just released from prison not long ago, right?
Leave it to you?
This is a gold-rank beast tide! Nobody showboats like this!
[Resentment value from Huang Wei +666!]
Before Huang Wei could say another word, Jiang Nan vanished from the wall!
Huang Wei’s eyes widened in shock!
“S… space element? Nan Shen?”
A thousand metres in the sky, Jiang Nan stood in mid-air!
His feet rested on the spatial barrier, a golden durian in each hand!
-`☄´-(๑՞ټ՞๑)-`☄´-
“Tier 13 super spell: Justice Rains from Above!”
“GOOSE HA HA HA HA HA HA!”
A wild roar echoed from the heavens!
At that moment the volunteers Jiang Nan had brought shook even harder!
Huang Wei looked up at the sky, face full of blank circles ◯!
Countless golden durians poured down from the firmament like a torrential rainstorm!
Jiang Nan’s arms blurred into after-images as he hurled them downwards like a madman!
The grin on his face grew increasingly unhinged!
Each durian, carrying terrifying force, struck the beast tide beneath the wall with pinpoint accuracy!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A chain of explosions rang out!
Golden pulp splattered everywhere, spraying in all directions!
Spikes flew wildly, stabbing the spirit beasts until they howled in pain!
The sudden durian storm completely stunned the beasts!
“What the hell! What is this! Did Brother Wei call in an airstrike?”
“Airstrike my arse! That’s a humanoid artillery battery!”
“Bloody ‘Justice Rains from Above’! Savage! Absolutely savage! This brother is insane!”
“Hit them! Smash the living daylights out of them!”
At this moment every spirit warrior on the wall looked down, faces flushed with excitement!
The spirit beasts below were completely finished!
They were vomiting non-stop!
Looking out, everything was a sea of gold, the fragrance drifting for miles!
A gentle breeze blew past, carrying that aromatic blessing!
The spirit warriors who had been laughing heartily on the wall suddenly froze!
Spirit warriors: (๐˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๐)
Next second: (ཀ⌂ཀ)
Their faces turned green. They were literally smoked to tears!
Eyes rolling back, bodies stiffening like bricks, they plunged head-first straight off the wall!
Plunging straight into the golden sludge below!
In no time the spirit warriors on the wall were dropping like dumplings into a pot!
Huang Wei: !!!
“BLEURGH! Who can withstand this!”
One tiny breeze nearly sent him to the afterlife!
[Resentment value from Huang Wei +1000!]
Justice Rains from Above my foot!
This is Biochemical Warfare from Above!
Are you throwing poop down there? Can’t win so you resort to poop?
BLEURGH! Can we have some basic human decency please!
Now Huang Wei finally understood why those volunteers had moved with such practised fluency!
Clearly this was not the first time!
Not only the people on the wall, even the spirit warriors inside the stronghold were rolling on the ground vomiting!
One can only imagine what the spirit beasts, whose sense of smell is dozens or hundreds of times keener than humans, were currently experiencing!
One moment ago they had been fighting like madmen!
The next they fled for their lives tails between their legs, whimpering like kicked puppies!
A silverback gorilla struggled to crawl out, now thoroughly transformed into a goldenback gorilla!
It turned its head and gave the stronghold a look of pure disgust!
(￢⊖￢)
“Ptooey!”
It seemed to be saying, can’t beat us so you play dirty!
Do young people these days have no martial honour?
Jiang Nan had thrown more than three thousand golden durians!
Burning through 300,000 resentment points!
He had literally painted the entire wall golden!
Right now, forget the beast tide, there wasn’t even a bird feather within ten kilometres!
Truly the definition of hurting the enemy a thousand, hurting oneself a thousand!
Jiang Nan teleported back onto the wall wearing a gas mask, clapped his little hands proudly!
Jiang Nan: (*ˇٹˇ*人)
“No need to thank me! It’s what I should do!”
Huang Wei: ???
Who thanked you!
Three hundred of my brothers, two hundred are inside foaming at the mouth, the other hundred are still stuck head-first in the golden swamp!
[Resentment value from Huang Wei +666!]
Your “Justice” doesn’t discriminate between friend and foe! You sanctioned everyone!
You’re a bit too just, mate!
“Eh? Didn’t tell the lads to cover their noses? That’s on you! How do you even lead as the big brother?”
“Look at my team!”
He pointed proudly at the twenty little orange figures behind him squatting, hugging their heads, shaking like leaves!
Huang Wei covered his face. He was utterly convinced by Jiang Nan!
Dirty tactics or not!
Nothing could change the fact that Jiang Nan single-handedly routed a gold-rank beast tide!
From the moment he arrived until the tide retreated, less than three minutes!
That destructive power was simply terrifying!
At this rate the stronghold wouldn’t face spirit-beast attacks for a good long while!
This was the first time he had ever seen war waged like this!
And right at that moment a black shadow descended from the sky!
It was Ye Xinghe, Qi Yu and the others! Lin Yu also landed on the wall with his group!
“Hm? Why is it so quiet? Didn’t they say a gold-rank beast tide was hitting the stronghold?”
“Where’s the beast tide? Time to let them taste the iron fist of justice!”
“My holy sword in the backpack is already thirsty for blood!”
“Make way! I’m about to start acting cool! It’s showtime!”
The late-arriving volunteers rubbed their fists, raring to go!
Huang Wei pinched his nose, eyes hollow. “It’s already over!”
Xia Yao added, “The iron fist of justice has already landed, without distinguishing friend or foe!”
Qin Shou wailed, “Our holy sword never got the chance to come out! BLEURGH!”
Rabbit Baby chirped, “You have no more cool to act! Nan Shen already acted all the cool there is to act!”
Ye Xinghe and Qi Yu’s expressions froze!
It hadn’t even started and it was already finished?
Nan Shen! Do you have to be this quick!
They looked down at the golden hellscape below and the spirit beasts still kicking their legs on the ground!
A gentle breeze blew…
Ye Xinghe and the rest: !!!
Danger!
