Chongqing Yangtze River Highway Bridge!
This highway bridge is located between the central district of Chongqing and the southern bank. The main span of the bridge is 1121 meters long, the bridge deck is 21 meters wide, and the main navigation span has a length of 174 meters.
In the past, both sides of the bridge belonged to the same city. Today, the bridge is separated by the Yangtze River and the emergence of demons.
One side of the bridge became the realm of the demon race, while the other side was the world of humans.
North of the bridge, the watchtowers stood tall, and the camps were densely scattered; the atmosphere was so oppressive and suffocating every day.
Since the demons appeared, they had to sacrifice countless comrades’ lives to regain control of the northern bank of this city.
However, the south bank remains an eternal pain in their hearts.
Two days ago, they launched the seventh raid since the apocalypse.
However, as usual, they were blocked by the demons even before they could reach the bridge.
Thousands of comrades perished, including over a dozen warriors with fourth-level star souls. This loss was the greatest since the battle began.
“Damn it,” a soldier stationed by the bridge said, glaring at the southern bank with clenched teeth. Spitting fiercely, he muttered, “One day, we will cross over and take it back.”
“That’s for sure!” another person said. “I heard that in our city, there’s a group of people who are already close to reaching the peak of level four. Our leader mentioned that in three more days, they should be able to attempt to break through to level five star souls. Once they succeed, we’ll be ready for the eighth attack.”
“What, someone has already reached the peak of the fourth level?” Many people around exclaimed in surprise, saying, “How could someone break through to this realm in such a short time?”
“This is indeed the key combat force for us to reclaim the city. I heard that these are specially cultivated warriors, selected from the systems transported over two months ago, each possessing unique abilities.”
Someone shouted, “Great! That guy over there on the bridge, with a third-level peak Devil Soldier, has been suppressing us so badly that we can’t even lift our heads. Ten of our fourth-level Star Soul warriors were all killed by him. Now, finally, we have someone who can match his power. When the time comes, we’ll definitely crush him!”
“It’s only a matter of time before we storm across the bridge and wipe out all the demons there,” people whispered anxiously, while remaining wary of the other side of the river.
Although the demon race had never launched a single attack on this side of the shore, they had already experienced the demons’ brutality during the apocalypse, and no one dared to be careless.
While chatting and laughing, they occasionally talked about whose girlfriend had a great body or shared whispers about new places in town where one might have a risqué encounter, letting out a series of sly and suggestive chuckles.
Suddenly, the laughter of these people came to a stop.
They looked toward the opposite bank, listening carefully.
“It’s a beast’s roar, and there are screams of agony!” someone exclaimed in alarm. “What’s going on here?”
“Hey,哨岗,哨岗, do you see anything?” someone shouted toward the guard post, which stood over ten meters high in the distance.
On the other side of the bridge, it seemed as if an internal conflict was erupting. Roars of beasts and strange cries echoed, growing louder and closer to the bridge.
“Could it be that the Demon Clan has finally decided to launch an attack?”
“Hurry, take a closer look. If you can’t see clearly, light the beacon fire,” someone shouted loudly.
In this age, the ancient method of communication, once used only during the warring periods of feudal states, has become a signal of war!
Someone had already walked up to a pile of firewood drenched in black oil, waiting for the command!
On the watchtower, a man aimed his telescope toward the other end of the bridge.
The man first froze in astonishment, then rubbed his eyes vigorously and shouted, “Damn it, this is all an illusion. It’s fake, fake!”
“Old Three Liu, what do you mean by ‘fake’? Hurry up and explain, what’s really going on?”
“There’s no need for him to tell me; I’ll go up myself to take a look,” someone said, as he jumped up to the guard post, grabbed the telescope, and looked through it.
He was equally stunned and cried out, “That demon soldier, who killed several of our fourth-level warriors, is dead! I’m not mistaken—he was killed by a single person. Good heavens, he’s got hold of the neck of a third-level peak demon soldier!”
When this person approached, the scene he witnessed was exactly the moment when that demon soldier was killed.
Thousands of long spears, gleaming with silver light under the moon, pierced through the body of that demon soldier. Explosions erupted repeatedly, sending flames soaring and igniting the surrounding air.
The body of that demon soldier was blown to pieces.
At the moment the demon soldier died, a figure emerged from the flames, with one hand still gripping the neck of another demon soldier.
Through the telescope, the person’s face was still somewhat indistinct.
But he had already witnessed the ferocity of this person’s attacks. The demon soldier clutched in his hand was thrown back by this person, who seized him by the neck and flung him backward. The two demon soldiers charging out from the flames were struck head-on and simultaneously spit blood, tumbling backward through the air.
“I, I didn’t see wrong, did I?” The person rubbed their eyes. When they looked again, two more people rushed out behind this person.
These two seemed slightly inferior in strength compared to the first person. Their bodies were drenched in blood, exuding less composure and more ferocity.
The man looked through the telescope and exclaimed in shock, “Good heavens! Three people—they’ve broken through the demonic race’s defense line.”
“What?”
“How could this be possible?”
“Isn’t it already confirmed by drone reconnaissance that the southern bank is now under the demon race’s control? They have nearly a million demons there.”
The crowd erupted in a frenzy, with countless people surging toward every checkpoint near the bridge.
Screams, shrieks…
People on the northern shore were astonished and cried out in amazement.
Of course, they knew that reaching this bridge required not only breaking through the defensive line at the bridge’s edge, but also fighting their way all the way from outside the city!
How many demons will be on that path, and what dangers will be encountered?
Even a warrior at the peak of the fourth level would not dare to claim they could survive charging through a single city block. What made these three think they could do it?
They could already faintly see what was happening at the other end of the bridge.
Hundreds of demonic creatures blocked the three on the bridge. Behind them were even more monsters—demonic soldiers, blood devils, black wolves, and seemingly endless hordes of dark ape-demons. They gathered like a dense black cloud pressing down on the bridge, as if ready to swallow the three whole.
This is exactly Lu Yu, Liu Xiaotian, and Zhang Miaofeng.
They didn’t know that the other side of the bridge was in an uproar due to the arrival of the three people.
They were all desperately trying to escape.
Among the hundreds of monsters, at least thirteen were Level 3 peak魔兵.
Lu Yu secretly exclaimed in his heart: Huang Ying, are you holding back?
He had killed so many demons along the way that he’d almost lost count. Though not exactly unable to move forward an inch, he was nearly forced to halt for a while every time he advanced a certain distance.
A Level 3 peak魔兵 blocking the way surged forward with crackling lightning all over its body, dashing towards Lu Yu like a bolt of lightning. It joined both hands together, swinging them downward like a heavy hammer.
“Die!”
As Lu Yu stepped forward, the Yellow Spring quivered beneath his feet. From the pitch-black ground, blades of the Yellow Spring erupted like raindrops. In an instant, eight thousand strikes reduced that demon soldier to dust.
Soul Devour – Activate!
At the moment a ball of light was absorbed into Lu Yu’s body, all of his attribute values surged to the peak of a fourth-level Stellar Soul.
Nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine point!
With his combat strength alone, he was already a match for a Level Three peak Evil Soldier.
However, the Eight Thousand Yama Blades were as if 8,000 top-level Grade Three魔兵 launched attacks simultaneously in an instant. It possessed combat power surpassing that of the魔兵 by thousands of times.
“Roar!”
The surrounding demons rushed over as if they didn’t care about their own lives, determined to stop Lu Yu at all costs.
“Die!” Lu Yu shouted as he raised his hand, launching a powerful punch while simultaneously attacking with his eight thousand blades of the Yellow Spring.
Like eight thousand shells exploding among the monstrous creatures ahead, the path blocked by several peak third-stage magic soldiers was torn open.
Lu Yu broke through the encirclement and rushed onto the bridge.
Meanwhile, the two individuals following closely behind him also each beheaded a demon soldier and surged through the defensive line.
On the northern bank, countless people cheered and shouted, “He’s coming through! He’s coming through!”
“Grandma’s sake, did I see that right? Three people—it’s impossible, but they actually broke through the enemy’s defense line.”
“The person at the beginning was too fierce. He killed six魔兵 all by himself. Could this guy be a Fifth-Level Star Soul?”
“Three people can break through the defense line; what level of strength have they actually reached?”
People exclaimed in amazement as they watched the three individuals gaining speed while breaking through the encirclement, and couldn’t help shouting excitedly to cheer them on.
At this moment, on top of a high-rise building on the south bank of the great bridge, a shadow dressed in a black robe slightly nodded in the darkness, saying, “Not bad! Even with a bit more pressure, he still managed to break through so quickly—it’s beyond my expectation. I feel somewhat regretful for not killing those two people after all.”
The shadow sighed softly and said, “But never mind. Compared to the Dragon’s Nest, these two items aren’t much to lose.”
The shadow watched Lu Yu sprint toward the center of the bridge, then ordered the demons to retreat. Soon after, the shadow itself vanished into the darkness.
…
North Bank!
As Lu Yu and the other two dashed across the bridge, the crowd, which had been cheering and jubilant a moment ago, fell silent.
They looked nervously at the three individuals, able to sense that the intense fighting spirit and killing aura emanating from them had not yet dissipated.
More shocked by the combat power of the three individuals.
“That wasn’t a dream just now!” someone said in a trembling voice. “This young man at the front has at least killed seven level-three peak devils. Could he actually be at level five of the Star Soul?”
“So that means this person is now the strongest one on the North Shore, right?”
“They couldn’t possibly have fought their way all the way from outside the city on the southern bank—that’s absolutely impossible.”
People were whispering in disbelief; even if three people stood before them, they still couldn’t believe it was true.
How could anyone possibly break through the demonic race’s defenses with only three people?
