How could he not know, this battle was impossible to fight.
Because the two sides were not on the same level at all, it was a complete one-sided slaughter.
But he was not willing to accept this!
He was not willing to see his home destroyed by these beasts once again.
And just at the southeast corner of the city wall, a group of people were watching all this happen.
"Yan Monarch, should we really not intervene to help these ordinary people?"
A girl who looked like a high school student looked at the tall figure in front of her and asked timidly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
A voice dripping with sarcasm said, "Help them? Why? Weak ants like them should have died long ago."
"That’s right, these people are remnants of a bygone era, they should be discarded. Only the strong can survive in the future."
"Xiaojing, I know you feel uneasy seeing this, but you’ll get used to it after seeing it more often," a young woman beside her said. "What you see now is not only happening here, it’s happening in other places as well. Even if you save them, can you save people in other places?"
Sun Jing instinctively shook her head.
She did not know any cloning technique, so she couldn’t possibly save so many people.
Moreover, just the Fierce Beasts in front of her were more than she could handle alone.
But in the next second, she gritted her teeth and gathered her courage to say, "But Sister Yun, we can still save these people in front of us, right? Saving one is saving, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, the faces of several people around showed displeasure.
Even the man at the front, called Yan Monarch, slightly furrowed his brows.
"Xiaojing, why don’t you understand?"
The young woman said helplessly, "Even if we save them from these Fierce Beasts, then what? Are we going to take them with us? Or leave them here?"
"If you leave them here, more Fierce Beasts will come later. They might survive today, but what about tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that? Saving them now just means a few more days of living in fear, it’s meaningless.
If you want to take them away, how? It’s not close from here to Huayan City, not to mention they are just ordinary people. Even if you could take them back, how could you settle them? They are humans, they need to eat, drink, and defecate, are you going to manage all that?"
"I..."
Sun Jing was immediately speechless.
"So, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble, understand?"
"Yes, Sister Yun, I understand."
Sun Jing nodded vigorously, steeling her heart and looking away.
"Alright, it’s getting late, we should go back."
The man in the lead suddenly spoke.
Like other teams, they were out hunting when they suddenly learned of the Beast Tide and had to return first.
Passing by here, they just happened to witness this scene.
"!"
Suddenly, he tensed all over, looking into the distance.
They saw a figure rapidly approaching at an astonishing speed.
"Someone’s coming!"
"Someone’s coming over!"
The others in the team also became nervous.
Although the person might not necessarily have bad intentions, these were turbulent times, so it was better to be cautious.
The figure quickly got closer.
Soon they saw that it was a man with an ordinary appearance and attire, the kind of person you’d forget after one glance.
Their eyes met briefly.
To their surprise, the man’s gaze only paused on them for a moment before shifting to the Fierce Beasts below.
Immediately, ten fingers pointed out.
Blades of Sword Qi flew from his fingertips like machine gun bullets.
But these blades of Sword Qi were much more powerful than machine gun bullets.
Whether they were Mid to High-level Fierce Beasts or Elite-level Fierce Beasts, they were killed instantly by the Sword Qi.
Even the few Commander-level giant elephants were shredded into pieces by dozens of Sword Qi blades, the ground beneath them flowing with blood like a small river.
In less than a minute, the city, which had been akin to a living hell, had no living Fierce Beasts left.
The survivors in the city were stunned.
They had no idea what had just happened.
The Fierce Beasts in front of them were all dead.
Even the team standing on the city wall, including Yan Monarch, was in a daze for a few seconds before realizing that the ordinary-looking man had come to save these ordinary people.
Sun Jing widened her eyes, feeling a mix of surprise and shame.
She had been hesitating, unsure whether to intervene or not, and this person perhaps had just been passing by, yet came rushing here.
At once, she found the man’s face increasingly pleasant to look at.
"It seems that this guy is a Martial Artist."
She heard small whispers from beside her.
"I didn’t expect a Martial Artist to intervene. Hmph," another voice commented with regret, "But it’s no wonder, becoming a Martial Artist is the only way for these ordinary people to turn their lives around."
"Alright, let’s not talk so much. This person is extraordinary," someone reminded.
Instantly, the atmosphere quieted down again.
They had also seen what had just happened.
Over a thousand Fierce Beasts, including several Commander-level ones, had been cleared in an instant by this man.
Such a feat was beyond their capabilities.
Probably only the Yan Monarch could have done it.
But Chen Fan didn’t care for their glances, he directly channeled his True Qi and shouted, "The Fierce Beasts in the city have been exterminated by me. If anyone wants to leave, gather at the city center within ten minutes. We won’t wait for anyone who’s late."
He repeated the message three times before stopping.
As the saying goes, "A good deed should be done thoroughly." If he didn’t take them away, they would likely die anyways.
If he took them, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
After a brief calm, the city erupted in excitement.
"It’s the heavens! The heavens have opened their eyes!"
Someone, looking up at the sky, tearfully said.
This could only be the work of the heavens, causing all those Fierce Beasts to die.
Now, he was going to lead them away from here.
"What heavens? That’s a person!"
"What, a person?"New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel★fire.net
"Of course! When have you ever seen the heavens speak? Besides, if the heavens actually had eyes, these Fierce Beasts shouldn’t even exist."
"Alright, stop talking, hurry to the center and gather. Didn’t you hear him say we only have ten minutes? We can’t afford to be late."
"But where is he taking us? What if he takes us somewhere dangerous or sells us off?"
"Yeah, I heard some Evil Cult members love to deceive people. If we fall into their hands, it would be ten times worse than being killed by Fierce Beasts. I think it’s better to stay hidden in the tunnels, after all, the Fierce Beasts outside didn’t find us just now, did they?"
Similar discussions were happening all over the village.
Some were overjoyed, stumbling towards the center.
Some felt suspicious, thinking surviving was already a huge fortune, and staying might be a better choice.
More were hesitant, wanting to go but fearing a trap.
"Interesting."
Yan Monarch looked Chen Fan up and down with great interest. "You not only saved them, but you also want to take them away from here?"
"What else?"
Chen Fan turned and glanced at him.
He did not have a good impression of these people.
After all, they had been here before him but chose not to help, only standing by and watching.
Of course, it was their choice; he had no right to interfere, nor did he want to make moral judgments.
But if they interfered with him, that would be different.
Seeming to sense Chen Fan’s irritation, Yan Monarch’s lips curled slightly. "I’m curious, where do you plan to take them? Or rather, where can you take them?"
