How could he not see what these people could see?
Even if they could fend off this wave of beasts, it wouldn’t mean much for Yu Feng City, because if a second wave erupted, they wouldn’t be able to hold out.
However, what doesn’t mean much for Yu Feng City means a lot to him.
The only reason Anshan City currently has a moment of peace is because several other surrounding cities haven’t fallen yet, attracting a massive number of Fierce Beasts—such as Yu Feng City right now.
If these cities fall, Anshan City would become an isolated island, facing endless waves of Fierce Beasts.
Therefore, helping these people is actually helping himself.
Of course, this is just a temporary measure. To truly resolve the issue at its source, his power must reach the level of an S-Class Awakened, or even beyond.
At that point, he could directly kill those Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts, causing the Beast Tide to naturally disband.
That’s one reason.
The second reason is that the more Fierce Beasts he kills, the more Experience Points he earns, allowing him to learn more Supreme-level Martial Arts and Divine Demon-level Martial Arts, rapidly increasing his combat strength.
After a brief consideration, he said, "In that case, I’ll help you out."
"What?"
The City Lord of Yu Feng City widened his mouth in disbelief, asking, "You want to help us repel the Fierce Beasts outside the city?"
"This... this..."
The others were ecstatic.
Who would refuse such a powerful ally? Especially in the battlefield, where one’s life is on the line. Having a strong helper greatly reduces the risk.
"Mm." Chen Fan nodded.
"!!!"
Everyone’s pupils instantly widened, and they couldn’t suppress their smiles.
With this person helping, the chances of Yu Feng City holding out increased by at least fifty percent!
"You must be tired after dealing with so many Fierce Beasts just now. Why not rest and gather your strength, and only come out when a powerful beast leader appears?" someone suggested with a flattery smile.
"Yes, yes, the ones attacking now are just minor threats. Even if a Commander-level Fierce Beast comes, we can handle it. Only if a Beast King-level Fierce Beast appears would we need your help." The City Lord of Yu Feng City nodded repeatedly.
Without answering, Chen Fan vanished before their eyes.
"?"
Everyone was stunned.
What... what’s going on?
Wasn’t he supposed to stay and help us?
Why did he suddenly disappear?
"City... City Lord?"
Many people looked panicked.
"Don’t panic."
The City Lord of Yu Feng City raised his hand and said, "He doesn’t look like someone who breaks his promises..."
Before he finished speaking, a lion-like roar came from the north, startling everyone.
"What’s happening?"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and witnessed an unforgettable scene.
In the northern part of Yu Feng City, where the Beast Tide had previously surged like a flood, was suddenly split open from the middle. Only the area near the city wall had over ten thousand surviving Fierce Beasts; the rest had collapsed.
To be precise, it formed a circle, with a radius of more than ten miles. There was not a single living Fierce Beast within this circle, only dismembered limbs and rivers of blood.
The City Lord of Yu Feng City and the others were dumbfounded.
The guards responsible for blocking the Beast Tide to the north were also stunned, standing there like petrified statues, motionless.
"My god, am I dreaming?"
Someone gaped, looking as though they’d seen a ghost.
So many Fierce Beasts, just gone like that?
"What... what exactly happened?"
"Look! I think there’s someone over there!"
"What? There’s someone?"
"Someone is there? Are you joking?" someone reflexively argued back.
That place was packed with Fierce Beasts, as far as the eye could see. Even if there was someone there, they’d have long been dead.
"There really is someone! There’s really someone over there!" A guard, holding a telescope, said excitedly.
"I see them too. There really is someone standing there. Wait, could it be he who killed all those Fierce Beasts?"
"No way, how could he kill so many Fierce Beasts in an instant?"
"Now’s not the time for that. The Fierce Beasts are climbing up! Quick! Open fire!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat!"
The sound of machine guns roared, snapping everyone out of their daze as they frantically opened fire.
With no reinforcements from the rear, the ten thousand Fierce Beasts near the city wall posed no real threat and were quickly eliminated.
"How... how did he do it?"
An Awakened by the City Lord of Yu Feng City gasped.
No one answered.
Because Chen Fan had been too quick. They didn’t even know where he had gone, let alone how he had done it.
"Rumble."
The ground to the north trembled once more.
Dust filled the sky as countless Fierce Beasts surged forward again.
It looked like it wouldn’t be long before they filled the cleared area.
"Bad news! The Fierce Beasts are coming again!"
"These beasts just can’t be completely eradicated, can they?"
"Open fire! Open fire now!" someone finally reacted and yelled.
Now was the best range for attacks. If they got close again, it would be another tough fight.
"But that person is still there. What if our fire hits him?" someone hesitated.
It wasn’t because they were soft-hearted but because they had a gut feeling that the previous mass death of Fierce Beasts was related to that person.
The shells had no eyes; what if they hit him...
Just as they were speaking, tens of thousands of Fierce Beasts already charged up to Chen Fan, their blood-red eyes fixated on him, clearly taking him as their target.
"Roar!"
A roar, like that of a lion, echoed through the air, accompanied by a violent shockwave sweeping in all directions.
The charging Fierce Beasts, as if popped like balloons, exploded one by one and fell in rows. In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of more than ten miles was cleared again.
The previously scattered remains of Fierce Beasts were also shattered into powder by this second wave of shock.
The Fierce Beasts in the back were not directly attacked but were so frightened that they froze, bewildered and unsure of what to do.
The City Lord of Yu Feng City and others seemed as if they’d also been hit by the sound wave, their eyes almost popping out.
This time, they finally saw how it was done.
Sound Wave!
Yes, only a sound wave could have such a vast attack range, instantly clearing out the Fierce Beasts within a radius of ten miles!
"I’ve got it!"
Someone’s eyes lit up, "Remember that roar just now?"
"Yes, it was because of that roar that we noticed his position. So, were all those Fierce Beasts killed by that sound wave?"
"That must be it! I understand now!" Someone slapped their thigh, "His superpower is a sound wave! No wonder he could annihilate thousands of Fierce Beasts in just a few minutes!"
"But..."
Survivors who had seen Chen Fan in action before exchanged glances.
They remembered clearly that he had used Sword Qi back then. Where was the sound wave?
"City Lord, his superpower is extremely powerful. If he does this a few more times, wouldn’t all the surrounding Fierce Beasts be wiped out clean?" someone asked excitedly.
The effectiveness of the sound wave attack was evident to everyone.
No matter how many beasts there were, they would all be killed.
If he went to the other three directions and roared a few times, the siege on Yu Feng City would be solved!
"No, it’s not that simple."
The City Lord of Yu Feng City shook his head.
The sound wave attack certainly had a wide killing range, but the consumption of Spiritual Power was probably immense. Who knew how many more Fierce Beasts were coming and how long he could hold out?
